THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED
I’m so glad Sew, Mama, Sew!’s Giveaway Day starts today, and not last week, when I was home all week furiously (almost) finishing all my handmade Christmas gifts. I wouldn’t have gotten nearly as much done with all the distraction!
I’m offering this little snappy coin purse (made using this tutorial by Rashida Coleman-Hale) and a set of hair pins and earrings I made out of polymer clay. I made a ton of these to give to my niece and my cousin’s four daughters for Christmas. This set would be a great stocking stuffer!
Just leave me a comment below for a chance to win. If you feel chatty, tell me about a favorite holiday tradition.
Good luck! And come back later in the week when I’ll be showing off some of the 20 or so gifts I made last week!
Don’t forget to check out all the great giveaways!

Eevry other year (when I get to go home) we get to open one present on christmas Eve. It’s always pajamas, but I still get excited. 🙂

LOVE the way that coin purse turned out. It’s too cute! The fabric is adorable!
When I was little, my favorite holiday tradition was going to see the Nutcracker ballet on my birthday (dec 20). Now that m little one is old enough to sit through it, we’ll be taking her! Another tradition goes hand in hand with it… we buy a new Nutcracker each year. I love seeing them all displayed together.
Thanks for hosting!
That little coin purse is so cute, and I love the hair pins! My favorite tradition is the big breakfast pizza we make for after we open our presents!
Every year we bake cranberry bread-an old family recipe-wonderful, holiday, comfort food! Thanks for the chance to win.
my husband and i seem to have the tradition of being in a different place each christmas since we’ve been married… iraq, japan, hawaii, georgia, texas, colorado…. we can’t sit still 🙂
Cute stuff! One of our holiday traditions is to make homemade pizzas on Christmas Eve. It was something that my husband’s family did as he grew up, and it sounded like a cute idea to carry on. The kids LOVE it! Thanks for hosting this giveaway, happy holidays!
Love those colors. My favorite holiday tradition, is going out for Chinese food on Christmas, but then again, we’re Jewish. I’m pretty sure it’s an actual mitzvah for us to do that 🙂

We love to decorate gingerbread houses. We purchase the pre-baked kits. My husband and I enjoy making our houses as decorative as possible while our kids munch on all the extra candy. This year I was extremely pleased as our 5-year-old, 4-year-old, and almost 2-year-old worked together to decorate one gingerbread house without fighting (and candy made it onto the house, not just in their mouths!). We really enjoy this tradition.
What a cute pouch! I love the hair clips too.
My favorite holiday tradition is getting homemade “Frosties” on Christmas Eve. Every year my mom makes us kids (and now my children too) homemade pajamas and we get to open them on Christmas Eve. It is fun to see if her pattern worked better this year than last as they have been a steady work in progress. Thanks!!
Favorite tradition is dipping beeswax candles for gifts with my boys. Your coin purse is so lovely!
Such a cute little pouch! My favorite holiday tradition is St. Nicholas day – we set out DD’s wooden shoes by the fireplace and she gets some candy and little presents!

So cute! Thanks!
Cute! Thanks!

My family celebrates Christmas, but I celebrate Chanukkah. I really enjoy the peacefulness of lighting candles and taking a moment out of the flurry of activity to reflect on the miracles we experience daily!

My favourite holiday tradition is hunting for the best mince pies in Cape Town. This is no simple task as there are quite a number of great bakeries around. So obviously every year we have to start at one end and work our way through.

Oooh lovely! I like going to the German-language service at the Lutheran church with my father – I speak German and he was brought up Lutheran, so it’s just something the two of us do together while everyone else is at the kiddie program at our regular church.
Those pins are wicked cute! I’d love to give them to my boyfriend’s niece. My family’s favorite holiday tradition is watching Christmas Eve on Sesame Street on Christmas Eve (whether or not there’s an age-appropriate viewer in the family 🙂 You’re never too old for Sesame Street, right?

Thanks so much for the giveaway, these are all very cute! And thanks for the link to the coin purse tutorial.

I love driving around after dark looking at everyone’s Christmas lights, drinking hot chocolate while reading books with the children, and gathering together with the extended family on Christmas afternoon for food and conversation and gift exchanging. I always feel so grateful for the lights, cozy times, and family togetherness during the cold dark season.
Lovely items. The bright-colored hair clips are so cheery. Baking old spice Christmas cookies is always fun. Thanks for the giveaway.
So sweet! My favorite Christmas tradition is playing Christmas bingo!
My family, husband, 3 daughters and son, walk into a close-by quarry and pick out one of zillions of cedar trees for our indoor tree. It’s always hard to agree, but it’s always fun.

I’m not feeling chatty but I do love those hair pins!

What adorable hair pins! (All the rest too, but I love the colours you choose for the pins.)
My favourite holiday tradition is probably opening one gift on Christmas Eve. It started when I was a kid because we always had Christmas with my dad’s family on Christmas Eve and then again with my mom’s family on Christmas Day, but my parents wanted us to have a Just Us family time too, so we’d each get to pick one present to open before we left for the relatives house.
They’re beautiful! My favorite tradition is decorating the tree!
Very cute. One tradition my kids like is each picking a new ornament each year for our tree.
We are starting a new tradition this year. We have always packed our kids up to go to someone else’s home fro christmas eve/morning. This year we are staying home and starting a few traditions of our own!

With my family growing up we would go see a movie on Christmas eve. It was the only time we all saw a movie together. With my in-laws we have started a tradition of caroling together.

Love these!!!
Eleven years ago on Christmas day, we woke up only to have our children tell us, “Go back to bed. We’re making you breakfast!” “Oh, dear,” I thought. Every year since then, they have made us breakfast in bed and it has become my favorite Christmas tradition.
Your bag is cute, but those pins are downright adorable!!! I just got married this year so we are starting new traditions. But a few years ago while still dating, and knowing we wanted to make this permanent, we started buying a German Glass ornament together. We just bought our fourth, a rose bouquet that looks strikingly like my bridal bouquet!
My mom and I always made chocolate-covered pretzels for Christmas.
My birthday is Saturday, and this would be a great birthday present!

I love these sweet items. I have so many favorite holiday traditions. Making a certain ornament with and for my children every year is one of them. I love the simple tradition of cutting down and decorating our tree……the kids make it so joyful! We also usually try to spend a day in NY with our girls seeing a show and that is always lots of fun!
Super cute!
This is adorable. Love handmade. I did not grow up with christmas tradition. Now, we are having little ones and are building up our family tradition. I want to make handmade gifts for my kids for the holiday and do advent calendar with them. Also, celebrating Winter Solstice like I used to as a kid with Tangyuan (a Chinese tradition). Rice balls (mochi) made with glutinous rice flour. Fun one for the kids to make and roll then eat. : >
My favorite Christmas tradition is go to a Christmas Eve church service, then open a gift or two then in the night Santa fills stockings and brings the rest of the gifts. Thanks for the giveaway!
We always read ‘Night Before Christmas’ book on the night before Christmas.
One of my favorite traditions has become wrapping all our family’s gifts in fabric gift wrap. I started making an assortment of bags and wraps out of holiday fabric 3 years ago and every year I make a few more. It’s really fun to get it out and see it all together, especially when they’re full of things. And my kids are still small, so if they want to wrap everything back up and unwrap it all over again, they totally can.
everything you make is so cute.
I still love sledding at Grandma’s house!
my family makes polish bowtie cookies Chrusciki ..it helps to have extra hands 🙂
Lovely! Thanks!
Lovely. Like decorating the tree with my kids and also staying in pajamas for most of Christmas day.

Love the purse and clips. We like to be together as a family to open presents.
