Hello, My name is Nancy....

and I am addicted to making these sock sacks!!!

I need some serious help here folks. It started innocently enough reading a blog and following directions. Then it became FUN!! These are so much FUN to make!!

It started with this....



progressed onto this one...



today it started with this...



and then I pulled out the scraps... I only had a little bit of Katie's Jump Rope fabric left.. Is this not the cutest thing.... I LOVE IT...



So guess what?...My birthday is this month. On THIS post only guess the day of my birthday. If you are correct, I will put your name in the hat for your choice of bag. You can pick the pink one or the sewing notion one. Sorry, you can't pick the orange one. I am not giving up my Katie's Jump Rope bag. You can guess as many times as you want. I will draw on the day of my actual birthday...so get those guesses in quick!!

Now I need to find another Atkinson design pattern. OR maybe I need to make more bags?? LOL

Happy Sewing,
Nancy

    I'll try the 10th because that's my mom's birthday.

  17. MaryJuly 1, 2009 at 6:11 PM

    I'll also guess the 22nd because that was my parents anniversary.

    Oh Pat.....I do hope you win.....LOL.....I followed the link from your post yesterday and have bookmarked the site as these little bags look like lots of fun....but I couldn't even cope with fun stuff yesterday as I was lucky enough to be chosen by some germs to host their head cold party.....I am hoping they move on soon!! I have no idea when your birthday is Nancy but will guess the 5th........good luck Pat..I think you deserve to win....!

  20. KathyJuly 1, 2009 at 9:44 PM

    Love the bags you made from Terry's blog. I will guess that your birthday is July 13th!

    ReplyDelete
  21. CarolynJuly 1, 2009 at 10:30 PM

    I would love to guess (and win) but since Nancy is my sister I'll keep the date to myself. But I did have to think about it since our mom and dad's anniversary is one day before her birthday or is it one day after her birthday - now I'm confused. Makes for interesting finger counting LOL

    Good Luck Everyone!!!
