Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Prizes: Oilcloth Treasures

I was a very lucky girl and ended up winning two prize packs during the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway week in May.

Here is the second prize - all the way from London, England!

Yeah - not London, Ontario - I'm talking the real thing - England!

Wow!

Sometimes when you're busy entering giveaways in this extravaganza, you lose track of all the things you've entered to win.

But not this one.  I remembered it well and was so excited to learn that I had won.

As the weather has been turning more summery, I've noticed that I don't really have a good way of holding my purse with my keys, phone, wallet, etc in it and pulling the wagon with the kids in it at the same time.  I used to be able to put a few essentials in my sweater and go.  But now I don't wear pockets.  Gah!

So when I saw this cute little backpack made out of oilcloth as one of the prizes, I knew that I had to have one.  I actually looked up how to make one and everything.  Thank goodness I won, because I don't think my sewing machine is up for stitching through that much thickness.

And it's perfect!  Hands free to wrangle the children and fashionable.

I love it so much!

And if that weren't enough, I also received this lovely piece of oilcloth.  I wonder what I will make with it?  It's so romantic looking.

And again, if that weren't enough, I also got this awesome eReader cover made of oilcloth.  Oh my gosh!  My Kobo fits in it so nicely and it's so pretty!

Fantastic no?

Want to know where I got all this stuff?

And then go over there and ogle other stuff by this awesome blogger?

And maybe stalk... um... I mean... learn all about said awesome blogger?

I got all these prizes from Dianna Jessie!

Check out her blog.  It has links to her bag and purses and tutorials.  Oh my!

Enjoy!
