The Giveaway Day Event at Sew, Mama, Sew!


I like to sew.

It was only recently that I realized I did. My passion to create via the sewing machine comes in spurts and usually 10 years apart. It is probably just my lazy nature that kept me from becoming skilled at the craft. Unlike the Mama. She is a talented seamstress. A very precise one, too. Though not anymore. She still has a pedal Singer sewing machine, but it's  too heavy for her to work, and the electric sewing machine confounds her. So she says. These days, she asks me if I'd mend something for her on the sewing machine. That makes me feel darn-tooting good. Fortunately for me, she has mellowed and doesn't care that my seams are still not perfectly straight and tend to be wiggle-waggle looking.

One of these days, I'll tell you, dear readers, the story about the time the Mama got a C (or was it a C minus) for my homemaking project in seventh grade.

Today, I want to mention the Giveaway Day event that Sew, Mama, Sew! is hosting at its blog. Quilters, crafters, sewing mavens, and others are giving away wonderful items they've sewn and crafted as well as extra fabric, patterns, and sewing and craft supplies that they have in their caches to their readers. Yes, that's right. Here's the opportunity to win a beautiful scarf, a necklace, a handbag, a yard of fabric, a vintage pattern, and much more.

Amazing, huh? One of these Giveaway Days, I'll have my act together and give away something that someone may think is cool to own. Yep, I shall.

 The Giveaway Day event is a one week event. It started on May 6 and will run until  May 10th. Sew, Mama, Sew! has divided the giveaways into five categories. Here are the links:
Buena Fortuna!

  1. I learned to sew on a treadle machine that looks just like that one!

    1. Didn't you just love the sound it made as you pedaled away on it?

  2. I love those machines. That one is beautiful. I had one like that, once but I've moved so much (still moving...Ha) had to stop moving the heavy things. Hope you and the Mama win something pretty or useful at the giveaway.

    1. I hope that there'll be someone after me who will appreciate this machine as much as the Mama and I do. Looks like we didn't win anything in the giveway. Oh well, next time. :-)
