So here is what I am giving away today:
My giveaway prize is this fun pouch made using Elizabeth Hartman's Perfect Zip Bag pattern. I've seen these bags all over the internet and decided this would be the year I get the pattern and start making some for myself. The front of the bag is made from a patchwork block and linen and the back of the bag is the same white flowers on gray I used for the zipper pull. The bag is fully lined and has a bottom gusset, to help it stand up. It is a good size bag at about 10" tall and 9 " wide, so it could hold a few things. I'd like to put a few goodies in there so I'm hoping everyone who reads this will help me come up with ideas for filling it!
Would you like to win this bag? All you need to do is leave me a comment and tell me what you might want to keep or put in a bag like this. International entries are most welcome! The draw will close early on Friday evening, December 13th.View other giveaways for handmade items here; view giveaways for sewing-related supplies here.
Thank you for taking time to visit my blog; have fun reading about the other great prizes bloggers have on offer this week and if you have time, check back on Saturday to find out who won!
Update: Friday, December 13th 2013 @ 7:00 PM MDT this giveaway has closed.

I think every fabric bag/zipper pouch/fabric bucket I've got has got fabric scraps in it - either specific scraps for specific things or else just random bits that haven't been sorted yet. Oh, and one has spools of thread in it, I really need to find a better way to store those things because I've always got a wad of strings knotted together from all the spools.
