Deleteso cute thank you ! :)
ReplyDeleteI would use it to keep my pins and thread snippers next to my machine :)
ReplyDeleteSmart! ;)
DeleteThank you for a great giveaway. I don't have a designated sewing area in my house and work in my bedroom, at the kitchen table and on the sofa, so I would use it as a small carry all with my scissors, needle case and pins in it (I do a lot of hand work).
ReplyDeleteks(dot)eyles(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
I enjoy hand work too, Kay - this would definitely come in very handy!
DeleteThis bag is so cute! I would put my Christmas cards in it for now, and use it in my sewing/laundry room during the year. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHolding holiday cards would be awesome!
DeleteCute bucket bag! I would use it to put my hand sewing projects in it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bailey. I'm a hand sewer, too, so I can say that it would hold a project very nicely, plus scissors, etc.
DeleteIt's such an adorable bag/basket! I think I would use it in our guest room to hold small items that our houseguests may have forgotten to bring, like small bottles of shampoo, lotions, extra toothbrushes, disposable razors, etc.
ReplyDeleteDiana, that's such a clever use, and would be welcoming and fun in a guest room!
DeleteThat looks like a perfect thing to hold my yarn while I sit and knit on the couch!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute.
Happy Holidays!
Hi Liz - I knit on the couch, too! I originally fabricated this little guy in order to hold my small knitting projects. It easily holds projects like socks, a full size shawl, cowl, hats, mittens, etc.
DeleteI'd love to keep holiday napkins or books in here!
ReplyDeleteBoth are creative ways to use the bucket bag - nice!
Deletei would fill it with k-cups for my keurig. very cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen - so glad you thought of that - it's perfect!
DeleteI would love to have that to carry my hand sewing projects with me from room to room!
ReplyDeletebeth(dot)sebastian(at)gmail(dot)com
Awesome, Beth - it would definitely hold everything your hand sewing project needs!
DeleteI really love this. I like that it tapers in at the top so the bag looks swollen. Knowing myself the way I do, it would probably end up with yarn or a knitting project in it. Or a crochet project.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Seeing that I have (more than) a few of these bags at my chair, I can say they absolutely fit the bill for knitting!
DeleteWhat a great basket! I'd fill it with christmas candy or cookies!
ReplyDeleteLove the shape of the bucket. I would use it for Christmas cards and then during the rest of the year for some sewing items.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great for holding yarn and crochet projects
ReplyDeleteI would use it to put sewing items in. I love it
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne! Great idea!
DeleteSo cute, it would go in my sewing room. There's always things that need a place to be put!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine - and I agree - a place for everything and everything in its place!
DeleteWhat a darling bucket! I'd love to have it on my sewing table for notions like the seam ripper, scissors and things.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! This bucket bag will hold so much, and the sewing room is a perfect place for it.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan. It would hold a lot of mail, so that's a great use!
Deleteuse it ... maybe on my sewing table .. oddd bits and pieces in the middle (pins, pen sharpener), spare blades, fabric marcers and scissors in the pockets ...
ReplyDeleteI would love to use it next to my sewing machine to hold notions!
ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect for on my desk. I always have a few things that never seem to have a home sitting there.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I can imagine filling it with some homemade goodies and giving it to our knitting/crocheting neighbor who always is lending a hand to our family!
ReplyDeleteDonna, that's such a thoughtful idea! Your neighbors are lucky.
DeleteLooks perfect to hold sewing supplies!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the idea of using it to hold mail or Christmas cards!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amanda! I'm working on another one in the red colorway right now, and I have to say it's equally as cute!
ReplyDeleteMany uses. It could hold Christmas cards, sewing tools, and children toys.
ReplyDeleteI would store my embroidery tools and patterns in it. Thanks!

Makes me smile!

DeleteHow cute is that!!! I LOVE those little handles, and also the prints you've chosen. I think this would be so cute holding hot cocoa pouches for a hot chocolate bar, or for winter mornings.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amy. A hot chocolate bar sounds like it would hit the spot considering that it's snowing outside my window right now ;)
DeleteI would like to store some notecards in the basket along with pens and other writing supplies in the pockets!

ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect for hair clips and bands. I leave them everwhere and that might not happen if I had a cute place to collect them.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a bag like this. It is so cute. I would have it by my sewing machine to hold my markers and small rulers.
ReplyDeleteThis would be great to throw some other goodies into and make a cute gift basket for a good friend of mine!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! My mother in law would just adore this - I would too, but I'd give it to her because it would make her so happy :).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leah. You're very generous!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway.
This "bucket" would be perfect to store bar glasses and napkins at our annual Christmas party. It is so cute.Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThat'd be a toss-up. It looks like it'd be perfect for sewing notion containment but since it has all those pockets and deviders I might also be tempts to use it for my bicycle sundries. Like the CO2 cartridges and gloves.
ReplyDeleteThe Bucket Bag is so adorable. It would be sweet sitting on my table loaded with trims.
ReplyDeleteOoohhhh!
DeleteSo cute! I see this basket full of Christmas candy!!

ReplyDeletemacska at gmail dot com
Well right now since it is holiday fabrics I would use it hod my scissors, tape and name tags so I could have it all handy next to me while wrapping presents.
ReplyDeleteSmart! Great idea!
DeleteThis would be great for holding pens, markers, pencils, scissors and paper for my kids when they're crafting away together at the dining table.
ReplyDeleteYou know, it really would! Great idea!
DeleteI think I would use it to store my knitting needles in, or crochet hooks, or both!
ReplyDeleteI'd use it in my sewing space for notions that keep traveling around & disappearing. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteIt looks perfect for putting Christmas cards in. Then after the holidays I'd use it to hold my quilting tools. Right now they're in a tupperware box. This bag would be so much classier. And I love the idea of pockets to hold my rotary cutters, scissors, and seam ripper upright so I wouldn't have to keep digging around in the box for them.
ReplyDeleteTupperware would be so much better if it came in cool colors and patterns like fabric. :)
DeleteGreat giveaway. This would be awesome to use on my machine table to put all my sewing tools and gizmos in it. Thank you for the chance to enter. conn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteWhat a festive fabric bucket you did a wonderful job on it. What would I put in it, I am always making notes on 3x5 cards and then not knowing where I put down the one I am looking for I think this would be wonderful for me to put on an end table and keep these cards in so I could always find them and it even has the pockets so I could keep a pen right there with my note cards.
ReplyDeleteExcellent thoughts on how to make the most of those pockets! I, too, am a list maker....
DeleteLove it! I'd likely use it in the living room to store a few books or toys in
ReplyDeletesequinsandscribbles@yahoo.com
This would be perfect for a gift basket or to hold Christmas Cards
ReplyDeleteI think it would be right on my desk for my everyday things for homeschooling - maybe then they wouldn't disappear! And it would be so beautiful to look at everyday!
ReplyDeleteI have homeschooling friends so I totally get how much stuff can accumulate! Great idea!

DeleteVery pretty! I would use it to store sewing and/or knitting supplies.
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas and would love to use this as a festive condiment caddy for my dinner table, Salt and pepper shakers and the such would look lovely carried to the table in this cute basket.

ReplyDeleteI saw the picture and immediately knew - I'd use it this time of year for holding our Christmas cards; they're all over the table right now (we get too many to display them on a wall or something). The rest of the year I'd snag it as a knit/crochet project basket to sit next to my chair.

ReplyDeleteI would keep it near my sewing area to hold spare bobbins, thread, and other notions. I love the fabrics you chose!
