Today I'm taking part in the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day! Isn't it exciting!!!
So if you fancy winning some sewing and craft supplies then keep reading....
I've been asked recently why I don't do many tutorials on my blog. The answer....well I'm not really sure! Not sure if people would be interested! Not sure that I won't bore people to fall asleep at their computer! (You still awake!?)
Well get ready because I have been putting together a tutorial for cover buttons which I love as they are quick and easy and I tend to make them into magnets, as they make cute gift sets! I should have also used one on my iPad cover if I had planned what I was doing!
So here is a little kit to get one of you going!
The kit includes the cover button tool, 10 large 29mm cover button and two cute little buttons that I made for the tutorial. I will also be throwing in a some fat quarters from my fabric stash, possibly Amy Butler Gypsy Caravan! (It's not a big stash but it is pretty!)
- So just leave a comment for a chance of winning!
- Giveaway is open to everyone - I'm willing to ship internationally.
- The giveaway will close on May 25th.
- I will email the winner, so please make sure I can contact you through your comment or leave an email address.
P.S ~ I will be putting up the tutorial sometime this week.
P.P.S ~ Please make sure if you are a no reply blogger you leave an email address otherwise your entry will not count!

SMS Giveaway again so soon? How have I missed out on the lead up? Please may I win? ;-)
super smashing lovely great! woo hoo etc!
I, for one, would be happy for a covered button tutorial. It's one of those things that I always think I would love, but have no idea how to do. Confession: I actually have some button blanks I bought a year ago but then had no idea how to proceed. I'm sure I could have figured it out, but it sure would be nice if you would paint me a picture of the process.
Covered buttons are my favorite! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love covered buttons!
Super-cute buttons! Thanks for participating in the giveaway. It's a lovely way to find new blogs.
I've never made my own buttons but I'd be willing to try! It's one of those things where it just looks hard until you do it, right? RIGHT? ha!
Awesome. I've always wanted to try covered buttons!
Loved your ipad cover. Just got an ipad for my b-day and wanting to sew one.

OOOh so cool. I would love to cover some buttons.
This would be great, thanks! And you've solved a problem for me: a bag I recently made calls for a button closure but I don't have anything Right on hand. Using some of the liner fabric to make a button is the perfect answer, and so obvious now that I've thought of it!
That many-size button maker is different than any I've seen! Yowzas! I hope I win!
Those are totally cool saw something similar from HMQS and my 14 year old daughter was mad I did not buy it for her.
