today is giveaway day at sew, mama, sew!
sew, mama, sew may have been one of the first sewing-focused larger blogs i came across…i think it was through their bustling flickr group, maybe? it’s a site full of great ideas and i’m always finding new blogs through them. anyway, i’ve never had my act together enough to participate in one of their giveaway days before, but i have something ready this time!
my giveaway item is a foldover doily clutch, sewn by me and detailed in my tutorial here!
this sweet little clutch has a touch of vintage style but the the gray hemp outer and the metal zipper are very modern. it’s fully lined with a fun abstract woodgrain fabric.
it would make a great gift, but if you keep it for yourself i won’t tell. 🙂

i can’t think of a favorite christmas song because i love most of them, but my least favorite is ‘christmas eve in washington’ which they play on the radio all the time around here. thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite holiday song is O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. If you want to hear a GREAT version of that song look up the one by Dustin Kensrue. alidamakes@gmail.com
I love this clutch. My fav Christmas song? All I want for Christmas is You. Yes, Mariah Carey. But, we got married on December 13 and that was the last song played at our reception. Good memories trump cheesy music, I guess! Haha.

A prompt. . how about how totally LOVELY this is! I am super excited to find someone like you to follow. . this is what giveaway day is all about.
I’m not really a holiday song kinda person. But put in the Amy Grant Christmas cd and I’m stuck. But I guess I would adore She and Him – maybe a new purchase in my near future.
My fave holiday song would be “Baby It’s Cold Outside”. My kids constantly have Elf on and that song is permanently stuck in my head!lol
I love “oh holy night”. So enjoy reading your blog and looking at your pretty ideas!

My favorite christmas song is Who’s Christmas song from WhHow the Grinch Stole Chirstmas.
This is a beautiful clutch! My favorite holiday song is Go Tell it on the Mountain!
My favorite Christmas song is definitely “All I Want For Christmas Is You”! But in this case maybe it’s more apt to say “All I Want For Christmas is a Handmade Foldover Doily Clutch”?
Carol of the bells, also, silver bells, and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Oh I do love Christmas music but I have to wait until two weeks before Christmas to start listening to it because my husband gets all Grinchy if he hears too much too soon.
The Wexford Carol.
I love Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree 🙂
I was planning on making the bag for my sister, but if I won I could make one for myself instead!
what a nice giveaway!! do you guys have the sufjan stevens christmas box set? that’s my fave 🙂
Cute bag! It’d be perfect for my sister. My favorite Christmas song this year is “Silent Night” arranged by William Joseph. I can’t stop playing it.l

Sleigh Ride, for sure! Love your choice of fabric – awesome clutch!
I listen to so much Christmas music it’s had to pick just the one, but right now I’d have to say Tori Amos’ “Winter’s Carol” is very much my favourite of them all.
Thank you for this lovely giveaway, that clutch is absolutely gorgeous!
My favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night….your clutch is just beautiful. I love how it blends vintage and modern. Thank you for hosting a giveaway!

As a kid I loved Away in a Manger but now my favorite is probably O Little Town of Bethlehem.
I’m a big fan of Canon D right now.
“Baby its Cold Outside ” Im not actually sure if thats it title but it wins everytime and thank you for this giveaway I’ve seen this cluch online and adore it.

“All I want for Christmas is you” is already stuck in my head. But, I love “Silent Night” because it was my Nana’s favorite.
I love the duet “Baby It’s Cold Outside”, especially the Barry Manilow version (yes, I admitted that on the Internet, thank you very much. . . Lol)! I love doilies and think this is simply adorable. Thank you for the chance to enter and win.
Merry Christmas!
What a great clutch! It would be the perfect gift for me-I mean. . . my sister. Yeah, my sister! My favorite Christmas song is Sufjan Stevens’ version of “The Friendly Beasts”. If you haven’t heard it, google it. You won’t regret it.
Doilies! Woohoo! Obviously I am in love with this bag 🙂
My fav holiday song is Rudolf the rednose reigndeer. Cheesy, I know, but it makes me smile 🙂
Josh Groban singing “Oh Holy Night” makes me weak. That is

Hmm… I really like most Christmas songs, honestly. I have a soft spot for Angels we have heard on high.
Hi! I’m a Doctor Who fan so Abigail’s Song from one of the Christmas specials is associated with a Christmas song. It makes me meditate…
Good luck to everyone!
Ooh, ooh, pick me! 😉 I loooove this bag – your fabric/notion choices are always spot on. I can’t really pick a favorite holiday song, but Carol of the Bells stands out to me. What’s yours?
Oh Holy Night is my Christmas song!
My favourite christmas song has always been silent night. I don’t know why, because its so slow, but I love it 🙂
I also love this clutch!!
I would have to say Silent Night for traditional and All I want for Christmas (Mariah Carey) for modern. I love all carols though.
Oh, what a gorgeous clutch!
My favourite Christmas/holiday song is Oi to the World by the Vandals, but I guess a more traditional choice would be the music from the Nutcracker. I’ve always loved it
I love “White Christmas” so much
I love Judy Garland’s “Have yourself a merry little Christmas”
❤ ❤
Gorgeous clutch!!
I think I’d be very tempted to keep this for myself! Very pretty.
My favorite holiday song is the Ukrainian Bell Carol.
My favorite holiday song is Carol of the Bells. Love it!
Also, I love the clutch! The doily is so cute on there. I love the design. 🙂
That is very pretty and if I don’t keep it for myself, I think my sister-in-law would love it as a gift this Christmas. I love any holiday song, as long as my 8 year old is singing it!
Love, love, love the clutch. I love most Christmas songs, but my fave modern one would probably be Merry Christmas Baby by Bruce Springsteen.
Merry Christmas everyone.
I would have to vote for Silent Night! It is such a classic.
Thanks for such a great giveaway!
Cute! I love the vintage touch! It’s adorable!
Jingle Bells is stuck in my head at the moment. Possibly because my 4 year old daughter goes around the house singing it constantly!
*waving hello from sunny Australia*
Have a great day! Cass
My fav Christmas song is O Holy Night as sung by David Phelps. Melting…
I don’t have a favorite Christmas song. A favorite winter song is Baby, It’s Cold Outside.
I love “The Friendly Beasts” by Sufjan Stevens….his album “Songs for Christmas” is my absolute favorite Christmas album!
Mine would be Let It Snow which is a bit sad for me as I now live in Australia and feel a bit odd singing it at Christmas time 🙂
