Giveaway! The Kitchen Sink Bag!


I am so excited about this bag pattern! It's so fast and easy and I'm thinking it will be my new go-to gift for brides, mamas, or birthdays! It has a wire rim around the top (which can be made from recycled clothes hangers), nice rounded edges, the main bag is only three pieces so its super quick, and best of all they are sized so that two mini bags can fit perfectly in front of one big bag so it makes organizing easy!  




The official description goes like this:
This wire rimmed bag can help you organize the trunk of your car, a closet, cloth diapers, a bookshelf, or a toy area. It can go to the beach, the library the grocery store or camping, and when you don’t need it anymore, it will collapse nice and flat out of the way. The Kitchen Sink Bag can hold your knitting, sewing projects, coupons, or a picnic lunch; it’s also a go-to gift for new moms, brides, or bridal parties! Monogram it, appliqué it, add funky fabrics or a few extra pockets, have fun and stay organized! Your new bag is guaranteed to hold everything but the kitchen sink!



 The pattern has been finished and sent off to testers so I hope to have it in the shop by early next week, but today I'm going to give you all a chance to win a copy!! Just leave a comment on this post and tell me what you would like to use this bag for. For every 20 comments I will pick 1 winner so that's a 1/20 chance of winning the pattern!! I will announce the winners on Saturday morning. Good luck!! xo, Sam

Possibilities are endless! I'd start with one in the back of the car.

I would love to win a pattern. I have been trying to figure out a neat carry-all to keep my coupon notebook and my "jotting-down-ideas-book" for my Beloveds writing. Then there is my Bibles that I need to corral in one group--well, I could just go on and on and on for things I could use them for instead of the plastic totes that are so ugly. This in addition to the endless uses as gifts to people. Okay, I know this is too long. Maybe I need one to store my too many words. hehe

So cute! This pattern looks way cuter than some of the "commercial" totes of this type I have seen out there. I would love to make one with Amy Butler fabric!

I can see several of these around our house to corral random toys that my girls need to take back to their room. Definitely one in the car to hold all the "kid things" in the backseat. I think this would make a great teacher gift too! So many uses.
Deidre said…
What a fantastic pattern. Trunk organizer, toy organizer, books, Legos, hair bows, sewing projects.

What a great idea. I would use it as a gift for new moms and fill it with the necessities for a new baby. It would also be great to keep my crochet projects organized.
Rhetta said…
How cute! I would make one to transport my monthly brunch supplies in it for my Bible study group. Thanks for the giveaway. :)
Mélanie said…
Hi Samantha! It's actually my first comment on your blog, but I've been reading it for quite a while. You're such an inspiration! I'm a passionate knitter and a beginning seamstress, so these bags would be perfect to hold all of my crafts :)
Debbie B said…
Let's see...I could use one to store all the patterns that won't fit into my file cabinet, we have a new grandbaby on the way and our daughter could store diapers & wipes, etc. in one, and our 4 yr old granddaughter always needs more storage for toys! That's at least 3 plus I think I would prefer one on some snazzy fabric to put in the Jeep instead of the "storebought " ones I have now. We have started using totes to pack our clothes in for car trips. They work just fine!
Eileen said…
Hmmm...where would I not use it?! My sewing room, my closet, my girls' closets and to make for gifts also. Love this one!!
Abigail said…
Love it. This would be perfect to transport all my stuff to embroidery class.
Unknown said…
I would make one to use at the changing table for my new baby on the way. I'd also make one for my girls to hold hairbows and accessories. I think it would make a wonderful craft organizer as well...and my boys would love a boy version for their Legos. The list goes on and on and on!
auntie said…
I think that I would definitely use that to keep track of all the different size diapers that this grandma has. With three grand kids and one more on the way there a many different sizes of diapers, swim diapers, diaper covers etc floating around here.
Tricia said…
I would use it for a car organizer!
Marcy said…
What wouldn't I use it for? It would be great for shopping, camping, knitting, church picnics, stuff for the grandkids, etc. It would be cute to use as a gift basket, too! Can I please have one?
Brenda said…
I would love to use it to organize our library books.

Unknown said…
I would love to have this pattern. It would be so amazing for picnics, weddings (lots of stuff to carry around), and event planning. Also, trips to the beach would be so much easier with one big carry-all!
Ashleigh Davis said…
Definitely to organize the kids toy shelf, then the laundry room, then one for the car, and a few for the garage... This seems like the perfect tool for many of my OCD summer projects.
Kristin said…
I wish I had time to test it, but with #3 due in 2 weeks, I didn't want to offer and not be able to! I'm glad you're doing a giveaway though. It would be a great pattern to have! :) Thanks.
Laurel said…
i think this would live on the floor of my car, in front of the seat the baby sits on... to hold the baby carrier, the umbrella, the box of tissues, the flotsam and jetsam of our life....
Anonymous said…
Definitely be a Trunk Organizer, a Yarn Organizer, beside my Recliner, where I crochet in the Evenings!!! I would make some for my Newlywed Son and Daughter=in=Law, for their Doggies, and Daughter for a Music Tote for Instruments, Recorders, and her Piccolo.

Sugar Pie said…
I would definitely have 2 for the car (11 kids)(1 for shoes & 1 for spare nappies & clothes),Then I would make 1 for each of my children, 1 for my new daughter inlaw & 1 each for the 2 nearly daughter inlaws in fabrics that suited a theme for each person & start filling with goodies for Christmas, it would cut down on wrapping too. thanks for your generosity.xx

I would use it in my van to hold all the things that need to live in there. And make another one to use to carry groceries in from the car or my garage sale finds. :)
Lucy B said…
Wow!!! I love this pattern! I really need to organize under my kitchen sink and was really wanting to avoid anything plastic so this pattern would be perfect. However, I can see it could be used in so many areas of our home. No doubt one will end up as a wee carry cot for my little girl's babies. Love your blog by the way. Have been a silent reader for a few years now (all the way from New Zealand)It's about time I say thanks. I love ALL your patterns by the way too!
Kristin said…
We have enough library books to take over our living room...this would be great!
Unknown said…
Ooohhh I need this one. I would organize a certain tiny tot's play room and my sewing/craft room.
Love it! I would use it for crocheting, mending, books, church bag. You name it!

This bag is great! I would love to win one so I could do some organizing in our boys room as well as our girls room. I think it would be nice to keep car items in also! SO many ideas!
Thanks,

Hi Sam, been reading your blog for a while. I am a keen sewer myself. Your new bag looks perfect for all women. Moms or not. We can all do with a bit of organisation. Love following your travels and creations. Very jealous at times. America has soooo much exploring available. We are limited here in South Africa. At 40 I have prity much seen all of it. Would love to win your bag pattern.
All the best Kira
Emily said…
I'd love to win this pattern. And let's be honest, if I don't win I'm just gonna buy it anyway. So it'll be mine soon! I'd like one to put diapers in to keep them organized. I am soon to have 3 in 3 yrs! Also I'll make one to keep my knitting organized. Oh! And one for our school books...sounds like I need a lot!

So cute! The car, closets, sewing supplies, craft projects, games.... So many ideas!
You are awesome!

Wow! This bag is just begging to be a car caddy on a trip. It has a place for everything if you use the mini bags. In my car caddy I would keep a a few first aid items. a pair of scissors, a small tube of hand lotion and sun screen. some napkins and wet wipes. And of course you can't forget the moon pies and crackers. It would even hold a couple of bottles of water! Great job Sam! Of course I don't sew but my sister and my best friend do! Love to you and all your family .Pegi Gilmore
Unknown said…
I would love to leave this in the car to organize toys, books, and snacks for my kids :) maybe I wouldn't even need to carry around a diaper bag anymore!
Tara said…
I would use this bag to go from room to room and pick up toys my toddler scatters everywhere! And the smaller size to organize books and toys in the car.
i think i would make one for every room the kids are in so we can clean up clutter in every room every night.

I would love to use this bag for cloth diapers. We have another little one on the way and it's nice to be able to have the diapers wherever we are camped out for the day. And if it's really easy to make, would be perfect for gifting!
Tiffanyann714 said…

I would use this for my classroom. I teach toddlers, and I have a whole bag of circle time stuff I carry around.

I would use one for all the stuff I need in the mornings to get my daughter ready for preschool. One for current sewing projects. EEP, Lots of things!
Mareike said…
Absolutely love this bag! This will be great for my girls to hold their baby doll accessories. One mini bag for each and then store it in the big one under the doll bed. Can't wait to purchase this pattern!
Tianas Treasures said…
Oh....there is so much I could do with this bag.......hmmmm.....from diapers to extra clothes to beach items, to toys....& so much more....thanks for the chance.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
