Kitty Backpack by SweetKM and Week 2 giveaway of The Holiday Gifts Series!

November 21, 2016

You all know how I fawn over Kristy of Sweet KM, right?  Such talent!  I was so pleased when she agreed to be part of my Gingercake Holiday Gifts Sewing Series.  I knew she would sew something unique, useful and gorgeous!  I was certainly not disappointed 🙂  Her Day off Backpack is amazing!

sweetkmbackpackKristy is an accomplished garment sewer- working her magic at making a stylish and practical wardrobe for herself one piece at a time.  Her simple, chic pieces of clothes are totally wearable and timeless.  Kristy has a shop on Etsy where she sells her knitting patterns too.  She really tempts me to learn how to knit!

One of the things I love about Kristy is her attention to detail.  She is an architect after all!  Check out this detail from her Day off backpack~

Now for the week 2 giveaway!

You may or may not know that I have sewn many pieces for Blend fabrics for their both at Quilt Market.  I love to work with their high quality, colorful fabrics.   Blend has offered Gingercake readers an entire 1/2 yard bundle of their Poppy Collection of fabrics.  I love these bright and gorgeous prints and I hope you will too!
