Yay!! It's the Sew Mama Sew giveaway day!!
(well actually it lasts all week! Make sure you check it out!)
I just love these! Yes, the chance to win some great prizes, handmade goods, supplies, etc are all great... but finding new blogs in the process is the best reward of all, I think!
I followed several last fall, and this spring that I continue to completely enjoy :)
And it's no fun if you're just talking into a big black void - right? So the more the merrier!
Today I am giving away this quilted zipper pouch.
It's really nice and roomy for your cosmetics, or on the go sewing supplies and projects, or heck, throw a coin purse in there and use it as a clutch!

It's fully lined and quilted inside too :)
How do you win? Simple, leave me a comment telling me what you are giving to the man/men in your life this year for Christmas? (seriously people I need ideas!!! LOL)
If that's too much of a stumper, like it is for me, what's your favorite inspiring quote or life motto?
PLEASE make sure you have an email address attached to your entry! No reply bloggers - leave your email in the comment box like this: janedoe(at)yahoo(dot)com
This is sooo important! All no reply comments will not be entered!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 269 of 269I got my boyfriend a couple of seasons of his favorite shows on Blu-Ray. :)
My husband asked for "cool t-shirts", which means I'm scouring Etsy and band websites. Men are tough!
The best two gifts I gave my husband (his assessment not mine) were both Shutterfly picture projects...a calendar with monthly pictures of his dog and a book with pictures from each of our 35 Christmas' together! Love your bag!! Thanks!!
Love your pouch! Great fabric selection. Men! It so hard to find gifts for them. Last year I made some kindle/ipad cases. This year, I'll try to find a nice scarf for my husband and maybe something for his garage. He spent all fall trying to organize it. So, I'll try to find something for it.
A new watch. THat's what he wants. I know. Original.
Thanks for the giveaway. LOVE the pouch!

The two things I have for my boyfriend this year are a Zelda cross-stitch that I framed. He's a big video game nerd. And I'm making him a belt out of paracord that is practical for everyday but you can use it in a survival situation. He's into that survival stuff too. :)
I think I might get my husband a new watch for Christmas! Thanks for the giveaway! Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
Very cute! My husband and older sons really like my handknit socks, but unfortunately they take a long time. Custom boxer shorts in a fun fabric make a good gift if you have a pattern you like; they can go really fast and are always popular.
Hubby is getting some clothes, a NY Giants flag to hang out front on game day, a humidore, some jammy pants, an asparagus steamer and a radio that will also charge the batteries for his cordless drill.
Two best presents I've given him: Logitech Harmony touch screen remote - it does Everything! Other great gift: initial set up to brew beer. He's now been at it for 10 years and always needs new gear - makes shopping a bit easier :-)
Super cool pouch....the fabric is perfect!
For my husband...mmm, possibly a few different flavours of those Starbucks one cup instant coffee/mocha things. He loves coffee....so it's perfect for him.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I'm getting my husband a train car for his train that goes around the Christmas tree. It's a military one the he had something similar to as a kid. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am getting him a subscription to chess.com
How about this...a banjo. My hubby's a little eccentric.
Ha! We too are having problems with gifts for the hubby! One gift my daughter and I have been talking about getting is that bum cushion I saw on a commercial. He plays computer games and has a bad back, so we figured this cushion would be good for him. And speaking of that, I better take time out from blog hopping and order that Bum Cushion!!
Love the pouch!! I am givin my caveman a pedi. Yep
That's right! Spice it up :)
I get my husband a Star Wars ornament everyyear.Thanks for the chance.
First, I can totally relate to the comment by Kaynik whose husband thinks someone takes all the good spoons. That happens here, too--I have "big spoons for John" on my list. :) In addition to that, I'm making him a cherry stone heating pad for his sore shoulder and a little pouch for his ear buds.
Oops--I forgot to include my email address. It is wordygirl (at) earthlink (dot ) net
I have 3 men in my life, hubby and two college age boys. The younger ones are harder than the older one! I'm making pillowcases in college-themed prints, but what else?..
Flannel scarves and lounge pants, wine totes, "wallets" for the car for registration and ins info, first aid kits, bookmarks and stadium blanket/quilt! thank you for the giveaway!
The man in my life is getting a new laptop, but only because I want him to quit taking mine! He is also getting socks, but, thats no fun.
Love the little purse!

Love the crossword fabric! I am getting my husband a remote controlled helicopter and a blu ray player.
My brother is a Lord of the Rings nut so he is so getting this lego set, the big geek ;)

Beautiful pouch! The husband wants a ipad this year. I am not sure if it is in the budget, but we will see!
Is it sad to say I have no idea yet what to get my guy? Seriously. Zip. Normally, he's not subtle on the wanting things but....this year? I just don't know!
Probably not typical, but I'm getting my husband a food processor (or maybe a meat slicer - he wants both). He's the primary food-creator in our house right now.
I'm giving him a rubik's cube and I'm going to teach him how to solve it. And a book I love. I dunno, I don't think I'm too good at this gifting boys thing.

I'm getting my husband this cool little thing that turns his iphone into a universal remote for almost every electronic thing we own - at least those in the living room. Love the pouch and thanks for the opportunity to win!
One resolution I have made, and try always to keep is this: To rise above the little things.
Thanks for the chance at the great little make up bag

The big gift this year is the latest iPad and some accessories for it.
Wow I love your zippy pouch! Awesome fabric choices. So I bought Neil Young's book Waging Heavy Peace, after seeing him interviewed on Jon Stewart. And I have just finished sewing him a long-sleeved button up shirt in Amy Butler's PINK soul Blossoms. Yup it's very pink and wallpaper looking, but he picked out the fabric himself - wild and crazy guy! Not sure this recommendation will be any help to you, but if you are inspired you can see it in my Instagram feed. (happysewlucky)
Thanks for taking the time to make something beautiful for a giveaway!
Well, I was going to get him a watch. Then he went an bought one! ARG! Does your husband do that? For ds, I am working on a Peruvian hat. :)
My husband is getting fishing supplies...something for ice fishing, more for supper fishing and even a GC for aquarium fish. Fun to have a theme to work with. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.

Gorgeous pouch -- love this style. I'm doing lots of food stuffs for men this year -- I asked the same question on Facebook, and that was the answer I got! That and beer. And puppies.
What a cute pouch, and I love the fabrics you chose. Thanks for a great giveaway! My bf is getting a large box of spices. He smokes and BBQs and can never find the right spices in bulk. So I got him a pound of each, which should last him quite a while.
my man is getting 3 black folding chairs. Yep. That's what he wanted.
What am I giving my husband? He has trouble reading email on his ipod because the print is small so I got him the new ipad 4. Thanks for the giveaway.
I am giving my husband a Koerig single coffee maker for his office this year.
I got my hubby an iPad. He is going to be so excited!!!!

I am terrible at men's gifts! So far, I am giving my dad a CD and a movie and stepfather is getting an ornament and a garlic press! I still have some work to do! :)
I am getting a set of classic movies on DVD for my husband.
The pouch is lovely - thanks for the chance !
I didn't get him anything! I might look into getting his bow restrung, if it isn't too expensive. We will see. We don't always get each other gifts anyway.
well most men around me love sweets and i love cooking and baking, so there we go. caramel taffy, fudge of all kinds or other creative sweet treats
Love your cute little pouch. Husband wants a set of gaming headphones for his computer games - $99 at Amazon. At least this gift goes in a box. Usually he says "Peace on earth" or something like that.
I am making my son bright red long johns to go under his work pants! Thank you for hosting such a wonderful giveaway!
God bless,
Laura

This is an adorable pouch. Thanks for the giveaway! I am getting my hubby scotch, kind of boring but he appreciates it.
Love the pouch - thanks for the opportunity! I crocheted some cotton washcloths and made a bath set for my little niece - and that's what I'm giving to my brother. He's so hard to shop for that since he's a father now sometimes I cheat and give him gifts that are for his kid instead of for him. It still helps him out.

I'm getting my husband a cookbook - he loves to cook as much as I do, so it's really a present for both of us!
I love zippered totes, bags and pouches! My honey does not like to get gifts, but I love to give them - dilemma! So I get him practical things like jeans, socks and undies.
My partner is a big kid so he's getting a remote control car :o)
My husband is getting a couple of books and some CDs from his Amazon list, and most importantly - some gloves that he can use with his iPhone!
