A big bunch of beautiful fabrics! Jane makes the most beautiful things with these vintage (and some new) fabrics, just take a look at her shop - those pillowcases are adorable (and so is everything else)... No wonder my bunch has some pretty-pretty-prettiness in it:
Receiving all these pretty fabrics (Thank you SO much still once, Jane!), made me think... I will most definitely keep most of them myself *ahem* but it definitely wouldn't hurt to pay it forward, just a little of this prettiness, there's so much to share. So I took a look at my own stash, and almost the first little patch of fabric I saw was an autumn-ish little mouse picking some berries, perfect!
...and within a few minutes I had also chosen some of those winning-fabrics to go with the mouse, and to the sewing board I went. I am not a quilter by any standards, but...
...Pouches I have sewn quite a few. Hello little mouse!
I chose some of my own and some of Jane's fabrics, and added some felt lingonberries on top too. There's a zipper on top of the pouch, and a tiny pocket inside too.
And this little mouse-pouch I'm giving away - if you would like to win it, just leave a comment on this, today's post, and I'll pick the winner on September 15th. I will ship the pouch (and some chocolate in it too, definitely), anywhere, so everyone's welcome to participate! Good luck to you all, and...
Yours,
Mia
P.S. It seems that I should be so lucky with giveaways by Jane, I have won three times in these blogging-years of mine, and two of those generous ladies were Jane! So if you have any Jane-giveaways in mind, just let me know, please, as they say: there's no two without three!
P.P.S. There's still a autumn sale in my shop, with the code LEAF13 -25% off!

Ha ha Mia, it must be our names bring you luck! What a lovely giveaway you won from another Jane. Such pretty fabrics and before we can blink you have created the sweetest purse. What a great giveaway, thank you for offering it. Now I have also been lucky in the past with you when I won my little Heffalump pin...should I be looking for some more Mia's!? Happy week to come my dear, Jane x
Dear Mia, I'm so happy you wonthose most beautiful fabrics! There are in deed so many that look 'like you'. In no time you made the cutest pouch and I love the mouse and lingon berries! Thank you for sharing - I would take good care of the little mouse! If you like to make a little patchwork, I can show you how to make an easy bird (one new project in my mind). x Teje
Well I have to admit to being a tad jealous of your Teawagon giveaway win! ;)
How quickly you made your new pouch and how generous of you to give it away! It's like being given a second chance to win!!! :)
Happy Sunday!
