I'm so excited to be hosting this very special giveaway. It's my friend Ruby's first sewing pattern, and it's fantastic! The Mirabelle Messenger Bag has everything in one bag - and the directions are easy-to-follow with lots of photos. Great for an advanced beginner on up!
It is a great opportunity to practice your bias tape and piping- making talents, too.
Ruby walks you clearly through how to insert a strap adjuster...
... magnetic snap...
...and interior zipper pocket.
It's the perfect place to hide a surprise for a little friend...
...and the perfect bag for a girl with places to go!
The best part about this bag is that it fits kids and adults, and you can use a variety of fabrics, from cute corduroy prints to more refined cotton prints. Make your own bias tape and piping to coordinate with your fabric, and you'll have the cutest, most-versatile bag in town!
So...would you like to make one? Even better, would you like to win the pattern for free?
Leave a comment telling who you think you'll make this for and what fabric you envision using.
Giveaway will be open until Friday, November 16th at 12 p.m. EST.
Good luck!

I would make one for myself, using black fabric with bright colour piping!
I would like one for myself, too - maybe in Chicopee corduroy?
With Christmas around the corner I would make one each for my sisters-in-law and one for me too! Fabric...I have been saving a Lotta Jansdotter print that would be perfect!
I would love to win this pattern! I am always looking for new bags to make. I make all everyone in my family bags and purses every year. This year would be damask upholstery fabrics for the gals and dark solid colors for the guys.
Most likely me, but maybe for my sister for Christmas.

I would make one for myself and one for my daughter in complementary but not matching fabrics :) I dont know what fabrics, but they would have to be from my stash because it's currently embarassingly sized!
I would make one for me! I am feeling greys and brights at the moment so i would have to go shopping i think :)
My 11yr old daughter would love this bag! She would probably like something neon, so I would most likely do a grey or denim with neon trims.
I've been looking for a pattern that would be perfect for both of my sisters. Then, I could make myself one, or two...
My oldest daughter (a first grade teacher) she loves pink and Fancy Nancy!! I'm thinking fushia or black pinwale corduroy with Fancy Nancy Trim and a matching applique I have saved for a special gift to her. I would love to give this to her!
I would like to make one for myself using bright blue suede with black leather piping cord. And for the daughter of my friend one using canvas with cats on it, with colorfull piping. So i'll keep my fingers crossed !
Oh, I would love to make one for my sister for Christmas using local African fabric from Tanzania, where I'm living at the moment. Thanks for the giveawayǃ

My niece's stepdaughter would love this bag. I'd shop in my stash for black & white fabrics & use pink as the accent because pink she loves pink. Thanks for the chance to win.
This bag looks super-cute. I would make it in a dark wash denim and put studs on it!
I would make this for kids in need(my kids school here in Atlanta are putting together gifts for kids in need for Christmas). I would love to win this so I can make as many as I can because I know it will put smiles on their faces.
Thanks a ton for this giveaway.
I would love to try making this bag in one of the new laminated cotton fabrics that are out! This is so cute....
I really love this pattern! It would make an incredible Christmas gift for a few of my "hard to buy for" girlfriends. I like the size and how versatile it is.
Thanks for the giveaway!

This would be so perfect because I have been feeling pretty down about not being able to get anything nice for 5 grown daughters! I have lots of beautiful fabric stashed away but nothing special I could make them. This would be perfect and could be made special for each girl!
I think I would be making this for the grandchildren with some canvas material I have.
thanks... nclement@ct.metrocast.net
I would love to make one for myself in a trendy gray and yellow pattern fabric.
I would probably make one for myself using Sweetwater's Lucy's Crab Shack bicycle canvas fabric (if I can still find some)
I would make matching ones for me and my best friend, in black cotton with Doctor Who toile fabric as the lining (been looking for an excuse to buy some of this! http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/1332981)
I would make this from denim for my great niece.

I'm wanting to make one of these for me!!....Hope I win!!I would use a laminate cotton...
It's so gorgeous, I'd like to make hundreds as Christmas gifts, BUT the first one I make will be for my 4 year old daughter to carry her epipen, medicines, etc. She's such a funky little thing that I'm going to go for bright red polka dot laminate cotton & denim! :)
I would love to make this for my 10 year old daughter. I would probably make it in some fabric that would look very Cath Kidston as she would think that was VERY COOL!! Great pattern, can think of other little people in my life that would want one too!!!!
I'd make one for each of my girls in pink and purple and let them choose which one they want.
Thanks!
What a great opportunity!! I'd make one for me and one for my girl, I've just bought a heavy cotton in celestial blue and white flowers that would be perfect for me, while for my little girl, I saw a pink Barbie print heavy cotton!!!
Great bag!
