Hi!
I would love to win this because I am being gifted a sewing machine this Thanksgiving. Last time I have done any sewing was in jr. high’s home ec. We were making aprons to use during our cooking segment. I got a ‘D’ on my apron because I really wasn’t passionate to finish it after I SWEWED COMPLETELY THROUGH MY FINGER She had no mercy that teacher of mine. I really was trying. I had to pull the thread out too. She was too weasy to help me.
I would love to win something that would help me make something…anything
)
I’d love to hone in on my homemaker skills in the area of making beautiful things. Thanks for the opportunity.
I’ve never heard of this site, and am going there to check it out right now. It would be so nice to make some gifts this year!
What a great idea. You find the most interesting websites. One day I’ll get back into crafting myself…it really is fun. Need to re-learn how to sew first though.
I just stumbled upon this website(DIY Dish) last night. This looks like it will be a fun give away.

Those craft ideas look fun and easy.
I grew up with a very crafty Mpm; however, she didn’t teach my sisters and I much. We do not speak much nowadays. I would love some ideas for homemade gifts.
I just love your give-aways. This looks like lots of fun.
Love it! I hope I win!
This would be great. I love being crafty. Homemade Christmas gifts are the best. I usually make a few Christmas gifts every year, but I have not done any yet this year.
Great site with lots of great ideas! Cool giveaway

ooooh, I’d love to win this!! We are trying for a “handmade” Christmas and this would definitely help!!!!
What a neat giveaway! I’d LOVE to win:)
After years of NOT being creative, I’m back on track to make some projects! Count me in!
What an awesome giveaway! I am relatively new at sewing, but have decided to make this as much of a handmade holiday as possible. I could really put this prize to good use. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Ooh, sounds so nice! A handmade Christmas is what I’m going for this year…
Awesome giveaway!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! We make a point to make at least one homemade gift for Christmas each year! It’s such a special tradition and changes the way kids look at gift giving and receiving!
The Dr thinks my kids might have chicken pox, so it looks like we will be home for quite some time- I would LOVE to win this bundle so I could work on gifts now that I’ll HAVE to stay home!!
Oooo, oooo, count me in! I love crafty things.
Love love love this! My family and I (for the past few years) only give homemade or handmade gifts. It is so much more special than just going to the store and picking up some random gift.
Last year, my sister made me three of the best aprons I’ve ever owned!
This year my family is getting homemade pickled peppers, strawberry jam, bread and some sort of sweet.
I love You Can Make This

What a wonderful giveaway! I watched these ladies on Nate Berkus(I think?!LOL) last month. They are so sweet. I know I saw the on HGTV on a special.
A few years ago my daughter and granddaughter begged me for my sewing machine so they could start sewing together. It was hard parting with it, but did so by faith. They bonded with each other for a time as they learned to sew together. That touched my heart deeply. Then something happened and they broke some part that was irreplacable. My daughter is a great yard saler and found an awesome practically new machine. I was ecstatic for them. So I asked her to now keep on the lookout for 1 foe me to replace the one I gave them. She called me one day from a yard sale and told me so people were selling a brand new one they had never opened for $40. I told her to get it. Several months later it finally arrived from being stored in her garage. It is beautiful and in my fave colors… white and aqua!!! I couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait to get sewing again!..(unfortunately it didnt have bobbins in the box, so need to get to Joanns soon!)
If I won the giveaway I would definitely be sharing the prize!
