A little giveaway

Hi, what's up? I know long time no blogging. I think my blogging has a lot to do with my sewing and I haven' t been doing that lately as well. My old sewing machine (my mothers sewing machine that is) is finnay ready for retirement. I need to get me a new machine. One that will be able to sew cotton as well as upholstary fabric and leather if possible. I have no idea which brand or model to buy.... All those machines are for hobby and home sewing. I'm not getting another one like that or else it won't last a year. It's going to be a difficult decision.

I'm leaving you with a little giveaway. I like giveaways, don't you? This is a small (23 cm high x 17cm wide/ 9 inches x 6,7 inches) cotton bag. My first thought when I made this was "oh, it's a lovely bag for storing tea." Not really for tea bags, but rather for collecting it in the nature - like rose-berries or elderberries. You can use it for storing crafty iteams or whatever you like.



The rules are simple. Leave a comment under this post until November the 12th. If you're a sewist yourself, tell me which sewing machine do you use and if love it and would recomend it or do you wanna get rid of it and buy another one. If you're not sewing, no problem, you can write what are would you do with a giveaway: keep it or give it to someone special. I'll draw a winner randomly on November the 13th and annouce it the same day. Please, with your comment leave an email address as well, so I'll be able to contact you in case you win! Oh, and I better not forget: the giveaway is open to anyone worldwide. Good luck!

  2. I have a Brother BM3600. Before that I had a really basic Brother my mother bought me for my 21st birthday. So I like Brother. What I have is basic but what I need. Now when I get to be more creative I will be looking at Bernina's I think. Have heard they are good. But then again everyone has their own likes and dislikes

  3. As I won the last one, I'll bow out of the giveaway to give someone else a chance, but I have the Brother Innovis NX 2000. I got it recently as an upgrade to my little Brother, and I LOVE it. Much bigger throat (it's designed for quilters), big extension table, automatic height and tension, so many things I never knew I needed, but which have made my life so much easier when sewing big things. It wasn't cheap though, I fear the good workhorses never are...

  5. Taki nakupi nikoli niso enostavni. Sama sicer tako malo šivam, da bi se verjetno zadovoljila skoraj z vsakim šivalnim strojem, zato pa je to zate povsem druga pesem. Doma imam eno singerco, ki sva jo z mamo dobili in je sicer stara kakšnih 20 let, bila praktično neuporabljena in meni je noro všeč, ker je potiskana s takim retro vzorce, da ti je pravo veselje delat z njo. Pa tudi šiva kot maslo. Je pa res, da sem jaz šivala kakšen lan, bombaž, večinoma pa papir.

    Tale vrečkica pa bi bila idealna za lipo, ki jo dobim od mame, da skuham čaj, če sem prehlajena.

  6. Thanks for a giveaway! I am waiting to heirloom my grandmothers sewing machine, if only for design purposes.

    By the way, I would use this cotton bag for free samples storage (face creams, parfums etc. that you get with the magazines).

  7. Jaz pri šivanju nisem najbolj spretna. Moje znanje se začne in zaključi pri ravnem šivi:) Imam pa Husquarno, ki sem jo dobila za 18. rojstni dan in je torej že močno polnoletna. Kljub starosti je še vedno zelo dobra mašinca, z nekaj enostavnimi okrasnimi šivi, dokaj enostavna za uporabo... Res pa je, da težko primerjam s kakšnim drugim strojem.
    Kar pa se tiče vrečke, je čudovita, nobenega problema ne bi bilo najti drbnarije, ki bi v njej lahko našle prostor.

  9. Moja mašina je od mame mašina t.j. Bagat višnja. Pred leti sem jo servisirala, vendar še vedno nekaj nagaja= navijanje niti, gumbnice,... Odločila sem se, da nabavim novo. Javim, ko kupim! Kaj bi dala v to ljubko vrečkico? Stvari za v zgodovino,.. t.j. CDjke in USB ključi, na katerem so shranjene fotke in filmčki otrok,.. kako so prvič shodili,..zapeli,.. pa pesmice in lepi spisi, ki so jih zapisali,...take stvari, ki jih nikakor ne morem zavreči.

  10. Sama šivam z Brother mašinco.čisto dovolj pridna je za moje potrebe.
    Moja nona mi je zapustila Singer prijateljico.Vendar jo samo gledam in si ko zaprem oči,vidim nono.
    V vrečko pa ,hm kaj drugega kot spomine ;).

  11. Preden sem spoh videla, da gre za give away vrečko, sem razmišljala, kako se izvede "patent za potegnit".... Luštna vrečka, ni kaj! Uporabna za karkoli:)
    Tudi moja mašina je že zdavnaj polnoletna. Ruža Bagat... Ne šivam preveč, a včasih me zamika, da nabavim novo.
