I've finished something and a giveaway !

Of course me being me has to wait till the last day of the month to finally post a finish !
I gave you a glimpse of this last week but at the moment the days have all been running together so it may have been last year .
I did design this bag a while ago for a swap I was in and since then I've made heaps of them as gifts and I have four around my home .
Very useful bags these are they are called Catchits as they are just pretty and frilly and you hang them on the end of the bed , on the bathroom or wardrobe handle to , you know .....catch stuff ! They are for all those little bits and pieces that I can't be bothered putting away really don't go anywhere .
I should be finished writing the pattern this year this week so if you need a Catchit at your house and who doesn't , just leave a comment .
Celebrate this momentous occasion (me finishing something ) with me and you can win a Catchit pattern !
Not the best photo sorry , it was almost dark when I got a chance to take a photo .

  3. The fun is in the buying of fabric/yarn and the making - not the fiddly finishing off ;)

  43. Catchit would be perfect for my hair ties and clips that I leave lying around which drives my husband nuts. Plus my dog wouldn't run off with my elastics and hide them! Very Cute Pattern Clare!!

  44. The catchit looks like it would be great for my cross stitch project when it's waiting for me.

  60. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Yours is a hoot, I love your friend tribute. And the Catchit is so adorable. I'm afraid I would get addicted and have them hanging all over the house to tidy things up. But that's not a bad thing, right? We do need someplace for all that stuff, and shoe boxes are so boring!!

    ReplyDelete
  61. This is really adorable! I love the colors and hooray that you finished something! Sometimes I don't finish - A LOT! :)

    ReplyDelete

  68. Lovey bag/catchit! I seem to be depositing stuff in drawers around the house constantly so one of these would be very handy to make to take around the house and return stuff to where it actually lives... kind of like a portable third drawer down! Thanks for visiting my blog yesterday. Sarahx
