Time for another giveaway we say!
I had such fun making the gorgeous Short and Sassy Pleated Bag by artsy-crafty babe that I would love to make you one of your very own.
However, there is a catch, I couldn't make a decision which fabric to choose? I procrastinated for at least a few hours this morning while I pottered around tidying the house, should I go for the orange funky with a nice black top and handle or the green stripe and spotty top, maybe a denim one, the black one with the pomegranate design would look great, I love the little white bunnies on the beige, maybe the little Japanese girls, or a beachy pink stripe might be nice too.......oh I just can't decide.
So it's your choice! Leave a comment and let me know which one you would choose. If you're the lucky winner I will custom make you a short and sassy of your very own. If none of these fabrics appeal just tell me what your choice of colours would be and I'll go with that! Now that's pretty simple isn't it! I'll also throw in a few surprises for the lucky winner, it'll be just like Christmas, hang on, it nearly is Christmas!
Mention our giveaway with a link on your Blog and we'll add an extra entry for you in the draw.
We'll draw the winner Sunday lunchtime the 9th Nov, so go on, don't be shy, you've got to be in it to win it!

That's not like you to procrastinate :)
Good luck everyone!
No, not like me at all :P
That is a great bag pattern Kylie. What lovely fabric choices!! Love the linen fabric with the green flowers.
You two girls are so clever.Beautiful fabrics! I love the chevron stripes. Now Kylie - have you read THE books? The Diana Gabaldon ones?
Hi lolkate, I sure have! a few times over! ask Janelle who told her all about them :) Good luck with the giveaway.
Cute bag! I would choose the black and white fabric with a plain top / handle as per the pattern.
Thanks for the opportunity - I do live in the UK though so if distance of posting is a factor, I will understand.
Hi Margy, yes international entries are most welcome, good luck :)Kylie
Hey Kylie
Great design, you are very clever with all your lovely work - I wish I had the time to have a go too! For your competition, I like the spotty dark/blue black fabric (front of the photo) and I think denim or black top and handles. I love handbags...
Hi Kylie! The enticement of having someone make me something gorgeous is just too strong to resist! The combo that jumps out at me is the lovely Lara Cameron 'Gingko' print with the green spot at the top. How demanding I feel!! You are very generous to offer such a giveaway & it will be fun reading through everyone's preferences. Best wishes, Ros.
That's such a pretty pattern!!! I like the green striped fabric (bottom right) with a coordinating top - maybe a darker green or one of the other stripe colors.
Thanks for the chance to win such a lovely bag!
Tought choices, but I guess I'd have to pick the orange bird fabric with a denim top! I'll be linking you on my blog for that extra entry. You guys are great!
I like the pink stripe myself. Lovely choices. You are very talented!
OOOOHhhh Please please please pick the green stripe and spotty top. But seriously, I think they will all look gorgeous. Love them all and I just loved those bags. This is an exciting giveaway indeed. Kind regards, D. :=)
Beautiful bag! I bet the one you made is just gorgeous. I like the top left ginko leaves with the bottom right stripes.
I think I would need to go with the green stripy fabric that has a big of orange in it. But I also love that orange fabric. I love all the fabrics actually.
And I mentioned you in my blog!

Pick me Pick me!! I love the orange with the bird. Orange is the new red you know. I love it! I want it! It is so darling.
It's so hard for me, to not choose pink, but...I think I really like the green stripe with the polk-a-dot top idea! Cute design!
I love the green dots. I really like all of them though.
I really should win since my sister is named Janelle and her b'day is tomorrow!

oh cute, cute, cute! I see the bag in the black pomegranate fabric.
Heck, anything with green is good!
Ooh, I'm glad I stumbled across this - i LOVE bags!!! I'm totally not an orange person, but I love that fabric...it would be great to tote around during the fall! And I've posted an entry on my bloggy blog to give you a few extra comments!
I love the orange bird fabric with a solid black top. If I don't win this (and I really hope I do) you've convinced me that I will have to buy this pattern! Love your blog, by the way.
Hi Kylie, you are so clever! I like the pink stripey fabric since I am so keen on pink now :-)
I really like the pink stripes! I am a stripes addict!!
I also linked it on my blog. Thank you!
I love the orange funky with a black top! Have never had an orange bag. I think it would be great!
Have posted your giveaway on my blog.
Have a Blessed Day,
Diane
Oh so many decisions and so little time. My favorite is black one with the pomegranate design. Thanks
I would definitely go with the orange. It's so cheerful! Adorable bag.. I absolutely love it..
Thanks for the chance to win a custom bag. I like the idea of a denim one.
Im a procrastinator from way back, but when the inspiration hits it hits with a vengence. I do like all the fabrics but my favourite would be the orange with the black. I have been frquenting your blog more regularly as Janelle told me off for not doing so!!!! I'm becoming inspired again so much to do soooo little time do do it in. Keep up the good work.MOG
I would pick the green dots one on the right. I love this bag too!
My choice is the navy fabric with the multi-coloured dots,and then the darker, plain navy for the top. This is fun!
Irene (Carole's Mum)
I heard about your giveaway from Jodi (Simply This That and the Other).
I would go with the black with dots for the main part and the Japanese girls for the top and handle. It's such a cute pattern!
Gorgeous little bag! The safe me loves the ginko leaves print and with a striped top part but the devil in me loves the orange with a black handle!
i'm in, something free and cute. uh yeah i'm in.
My guess is that this pattern will look great in any fabric choices. Something about the black and white fabric appeals to me. Have a great week!
Love the brown, green and blue striped fabric there on the upper right.
I just love the short and sassy handbag - how generous of you to make one of choice for your incredible giveaway. I love the orangey fabric with birds for the main part of the bag with plain navy or black for highlighting and straps?
Tina D.
It is hard to pick but I think I would prefer the orange funky with a nice black top but I really like the green stripes and dots too
Gosh ladies all the fabric is beautiful. The orange one with the bird struck me as soon as I saw it. I wonder what you will make with all this material? You certainly have a good range to choose from.
Have a great day.
I like the little Japanese girls and the polka dots!
I love the black with the pomegranet design, or the green stripe with the green spots. Both would be cute! I would love to win!! :)
i love the green stripe purse.lindagerig@sbcglobal.net

LisaW
What a lovely bag. I can't choose what fabric I like the Japanese girls as well as the lovely pink striped fabric. I would just be so honoured to win it,Thanks for having a giveaway
I like the pomegranate idea.
What a cute purse! Does the green in the Japanese girls go with the ginkgo leaves? I love pattern on pattern. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
The green combination would be just divine.
These bags rock! I like the bunny fabric or the fabric with the ginkgo (?) leaves. Too many cool fabrics to decide!
Janelle - the orange is the standout for me as we get into the summer vibe - love the birds on it very cute!
What a fun giveaway!! I am dying over that black fabric!
Choosing fabrics is always the hardest but the most fun part of it all. If I got to choose I think I would have chosen the black fabric.
Ohh lovely please choose me! Hehehe!
I love the green stripes but would love it with contrasting green spots!
Good luck everyone!
I love what I see,great bag,scrumptious fabrics and an ending appreciation of craft.I would love to win the bag in the photo.
I would choose the pink and blue - they always go well together - what an cool giveaway!
http://patchworkpjs.blogspot.com/
Love the ginkyo leaves!
I love the pattern, and my choice would be the green spots with the stripes on top.
Thanks for stopping by my blog too
Love those chevron stripes!
Ooh, tough choice! The black pomegranate fabric looks gorgeous but then....I AM a green girl so the gingko print with the green spot or stripe would be good! Either would be lovely - what a great giveaway.
OOOHHHH - so lovely. Orange. I love orange. And - anything that will go with it. Beth
That ORANGE just caught my eye. I have never seen that print before. What a terrific giveaway.
I am the biggest fan of orange ever! I even painted my kitchen orange....so I would have to pick...um... the orange fabric!! lol!! Maybe with the black/white pomegranate on top? But I also love the green ginko leaves with the green spot on top. I see the problem you had now! lol!!
What an awesome giveaway! I love that purse!! I would choose the pink stripe. Maybe with a coordinating pink top and handles? Just darling!
Where did you get that gingko leaf fabric?!? I would pick that with the Amy Butler dots and stripes!
I love this bag- it's just adorable. I like the greens, not so much the oranges. I'd like any combination that you came up with though!
What a fun giveaway! I'm lovin the orange print. The bag is way cute.
I like the linen fabric with the green leave fabric....would be marvelous!!
I would love to win your giveaway and will mention you in tomorrow's post - thanks so much! Please stop by and enter the Thistledew giveaway, listed on the Nov 3rd post. It's a custom hat made by my SIL, who is quite the artiste! :)
Terri
What a very cool idea! My color choice is browns. I am a neutral kind of girl. :)
I would love to have this bag. I love purses & love making them. I've never tried this pattern though. Even if I dont win, I would like to try to make it.
Okay I will be posting this on my blog to get the extra entry. I think the orange fabric would make the best hand bag :) (I personally do not wear orange, but I appreciate that others do) ;)
Oooh, so cute! I love the white and green and I love the orange... oh, whatever! Love all the fabrics. Hmm, I will choose if I have to, though.
What a wonderful giveaway! I love the orange fabric with the bird.
Ok the Orange fabric is just awesome!!! Fingers crossed! =o)
Ooh, that's cute! I'd go with the orange bird print on the bottom and the dots on top! What a great giveaway!
The orange fabric with the bird is by far the best! :-) Thanks for your giveaway.
I like the green polka dot with the green stripe on top. The purse you made is very pretty,thanks for the chance!
Hi Kylie,
Love the bags you know that! Like the fabric you used in your bag, of course the japanese girls are gorgeous too! Red and Sky Blue kinda combination would be good too.
Thrilled to look at your blog its a great read well done to you both!
I think a nice deep maroon color would be nice to get in the holiday spirt with a black handle. It always looks good with your black winter jacket. I heard about this blog from the polar bear den's blog.
I would choose the orange in the middle or the orange/blue/green/brown stripes on the right side.
Great giveaway. Very generous of you! Thanks.

what a lovely pattern........
I like purples and sage greens....either alone or together!!!
Cool bag design. I studied the fabrics & thought - black bag, the orange for the top & for the handles the green stripe fabric in the bottom right hand corner of the photo. But that's just me
I like the pink and white stripes material - love the bag!!
I think I like the green stripe and spot. What a nice bag, hope I'm lucky.

Great bag, great design. Such fun. As I am not a fan of green I would go with the orange with the black handles. One thing. The interior would have to be a light color as it is hard for me to look into a bag with a dark color and find stuff. What a fun giveaway. Thank you for sharing.

Orange, oh how bright and cheery that bag would be, I'm not usually an orange nut but this one just stands out and i think it would do you pattern justice.
What about me! I might like a bag made by SmileyKylie :)
Lorraine - Janelle's Mum

Hi Janelle love the blog will pass it onto friends who will also love it when I get back home. I really love the white with bold olive green flowers, gorgeous.
The bag looks so pretty! I would use the fabric with leaves, I guess they are Gingko leaves, and then linen, that would be great! Have fun in sewing the bag, it doesn't matter which one!
Hello Kylie
What a nice bag give away you have. With so much fabric to choice from is it very difficult to make a decision, but I would choice the with with the green ginko leaf and the green dot in the lower right corner or the little japanese girls. And I would use the green dots on top and the green ginko leaf or japanse girls at the bottem
