Sewing Pattern & Gift Certificate Giveaway

Our sponsors at the Fat Quarter Shop have generously donated an Ruthie Clutch pattern AND a $50 Gift Certificate to their online shop!

I just finished making myself one and I have to say... I love it!
Isn't it cute?!

 This gorgeous fabric is from Alhambra II by Patricia Bravo for Art Gallery Fabrics 
The body of the clutch is: Alhambra II Teal Mazy Bricks 
The top band is: Alhambra II Aqua Moorish Blooms
The lining is: Alhambra II Garden Cashmere Cameo

I have to say I am not usually a huge fan of commercial patterns because they often confuse me more than anything and I get frustrated because the final project never turns out the way I want.  



However.... 

this Anna Maria Horner Ruthie clutch pattern was an easy to follow pattern that was not too complex for a confident beginner to tackle. If you are into having a clutch purse that matches your shoes, outfit, etc... then I would definitely recommend you try this pattern.  It is simple enough that you can make it out of any fabric you want and embellish with all kinds of beads, buttons, and other goodies.  This would also make a great gift!

here is my mini review of the Ruthie Clutch pattern:


Strong Points: 
-pattern is printed on newsprint instead of tissue paper so its nice and sturdy
-pattern lines are thick and bold so you can trace onto freezer paper and not have to cut into your original pattern
-few pattern pieces
-clear and easy to follow instructions
-glossary of basic sewing terms for beginners
-clear diagrams to help follow steps
- clutch purse is just the right size to carry all your essentials


Low Points:
- inserting top band interfacing is a little tricky
- technique on ruffling clutch is tricky, there are easier ways of doing it


Here are the giveaway details:
The Ruthie Clutch pattern and $50 gift certificate to Fat Quarter Shop giveaway will run until Saturday, July 31st at 11:59pm.

Winner announced HERE.

One random winner will be selected to win BOTH prizes and announced on Aug. 1st.  So, please leave me a way to contact you in case you are the winner! 

To enter, leave a comment here letting me know what you plan on doing with your $50 Fat Quarter Shop gift certificate.


...maybe some new fabrics to make your Ruthie Clutch? working on a new quilt project?
...$50 is a lot of money!!

So... head on over to Fat Quarter Shop and start daydreaming about the extra $50 you might just win!

The embroidery is all done.

  56. Great job on the purse! I know how commercial patterns can often be too detailed and complex, so I feel ya there.

    I would use the $50 to birthday gift myself some Tufted Tweets and Far Far Away 2 to make a couple of nice quilts, and maybe a bag to match each! Fun!

    ReplyDelete
  57. that's a cute purse pattern. would make nice gifts. I like easy patterns that are quick.

    $50.00 to shop for whatever my heart desires? I'd probably look at the latest Christmas fabrics and gift ideas.

    ReplyDelete
  58. There are so many new lines coming out right now and I really don't know which one to buy first. It would - of course- go into a new quilting project, though I don't know if that would be a quilt. I also need new covers for my cussions. My living room is red in red and I am getting a bit tired of seeing red everywhere I look.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I'd love to get some fabric to make the clutch, but also to try and make a nice summer top for me.

  60. I would get some jelly rolls, because I think they are super-pretty and I would love to try a quilt with one, but sadly all the nice ones are rather expensive!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Hmm, what I would like to do is pick out some of my favorite fabrics. But the reality would be that I would drive myself insane with all of the choices. Put things in my cart only to remove them when I found something else. I would probably have to just randomly add stuff to my cart, then just enjoy what I ended up with!! Like a surprise.

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!!

I would spend the $50 on either hungry caterpillar stuff (I am planning on eventually making a nursery collection that I will donate to auction for Seattle Children's Hospital and am slowly collecting it) or some Kate Spain 12 days of Chrismtas stuff all for myself...or buy impulsively and selfishly until the $50 is gone.

  133. What would I do if I won these prizes? With the gift certificate I would get a start on fabric to make a quilt for our bed. That is a long awaited item on my way too long "to do" list. It is to a point of needing to be done. The cute little clutch bag I would make for one of my younger friends. Thank you for this giveaway.

    Have a super great day.
