We are so excited!
I was also delighted to learn that Lisa Lam was publishing a follow up book to her amazing "The Bag Making Bible." I loved one of the totes in her first book so much that I adapted the pattern to make it larger and made three bags in different textiles and closures. As I said, I was very excited to see Lisa Lam's "A Bag for All Reasons," was about to be published.
In fact, I was SO excited that I preordered it. Twice.
Lisa's bag making books are perfect for me. I love to make bags but I do not like to use patterns. "A bag for all reasons," is full of great technical information.
It is full of eye candy.
The spiral bound cover and the fullsize foldout patterns make it easy to work on any of the 12 new projects.
I love my new book but I really do not need two. So one lucky winner will get to share my joy and have her own copy.
Of course there may be a few other treats included with this prize. Folks that know me understand that my love of ric rac, buttons, and all things vintage frequently causes me to "over-collect" these goodies but I do love to share.
To enter this giveaway, leave me a comment telling me what one thing (besides your keys and phone) you must have inside your summer bag. Make sure I can reach you if my painted ladies pull your name out of the bag.

I love her other book too! I agree - I can't follow a pattern so her first book is a dream - I keep Sunscreen as well, and always hand lotion.

Hi,
I'm a newbie linked over from the SMS giveaway. I always need to have tissues in my bag, I'm always spilling things on myself or people, or sporting a runny nose.

I like small purses, since I tend to carry too many things if the purse is larger...But I MUST have chapstick with me at all times!

In my summer bag I would keep the electrical flex for my iphone, together with pen and little notebook, where I write down everything I want to remember (like absolutely necessary things, for example the name of a new fabric line!). Thanks for the giveaway!
