New Swoon Pattern: The Levi Utility Bag

*This blog post includes affiliate links

Guess what???? Swoon Sewing Patterns has released a new pattern! And the best part???? This one is for men! Hello to the Levi Utility Bag!

Have you been struggling to think of Christmas ideas for the men your life? I know I do! Why is it men are the hardest to shop for??? And they are definitely the hardest to sew for, since well most sewing patterns out there are for children and women. But thanks to Swoon, you can now add a sewing pattern for men to your collection of patterns! Yay!!!

I know I cannot wait to make a Levi! The testers have been showing off their creative versions of Levi for the past few weeks, and let me say, they are all amazing. And if you really don't want to sew for men or you don't have any men to sew for, Levi can transform into.... a Lucy or perhaps.... a Lily. ;) This utility bag can be a great tote for your crafting supplies! I know I usually just throw my yarn and needles into a plastic bag or into my backpack (which is already full of other stuff). It would be so nice to have a bag just for them!

Oh and did I mention this bag is a fairly quick sew? Nothing like Stella or Betty! So if you were intimidated by them, maybe try out Levi first to boost your confidence. Well don't wait any longer! Go here and get Levi today. Christmas is only 13 days away!!!

Happy Sewing! :)

A Blessed Day

So today has been a great day for many reasons! First, I got 100% on my Educational Philosophy paper, which was 20% of my grade for one of my grad classes that just ended Sunday. This was the last grade I was waiting to receive for this term. :)

Then the next great thing was I won my very first sewing contest! It was a pattern naming contest for Ellie Inspired! My name suggestion was chosen for her latest pattern Texas Rose!!! This means I got the pattern for free! It is adorable!!! I am planning on making it for my oldest niece's third birthday next month. Right now, you can get the pattern at a discounted price, so what are you waiting for??? Go get it!

The third great thing about today was the fact that I finished my beautiful new Eleanor Slouchy Hobo bag. This beautiful pattern is from Paco Bean and I highly recommend it! Here is a link to my review of the bag and some pictures of the completed beauty. Check it out! No, don't just check it out! Buy the pattern and make one for yourself, so you can be as pleased as I am with my new beautiful bag! I can't wait to make another one!!!

Okay I will post a picture here too! Just because it is beautiful enough to look at twice! :)

P. S. Did I mention this was my reward for all my hard work the last 8 weeks of this past term??? ;)
