Drawstrings {giveaway}

drawstringslogo

Today’s giveaway is from Wanda, the seamstress behind Drawstrings! You may also know Wanda from her blog, Re-inventing Mother. She’s a regular on the Yarn Along as well!  Wanda creates the most beautiful drawstring bags, and I have been lucky enough to receive a couple of them.  They make perfect knitting project bags, and mine can often be seen peeking out of my Yarn Along photos each week.  While I love using mine to hold knitting projects, Drawstrings come in many sizes and have many different uses. Wanda introduced herself here and talked about how Drawstrings was born earlier this year.  Today, she’s sharing the latest news from her shop!

It’s been almost nine months since Drawstrings was born!  In those months I have been gifted with incredible people who have made this dream come true.  Those people are you. Sales from Drawstrings have been awesome and I continue to marvel at the reviews.  The story of how this all came to be is here in the original post by Ginny and I continue to pray for Elizabeth.

In great news, my own Elizabeth ( my oldest daughter) is joining me in making Drawstrings a team effort.  Elizabeth has a degree in Landscape Architecture from Texas Tech University and is also a certified Texas teacher.  She teaches Art to first through sixth graders.  Best of all, she is the mother of three of my grandchildren; Lilah, Evelyn, and Luke.   Her gift of color and design ( she has new ideas already!!) will be yet another gift to the shop.  Welcome her please!

Together, our goal is to provide a custom bag that can be used in many ways.  Many of you use them for your knitting and projects, but with all the varied sizes, the uses are infinite.  From jewelry, rosaries, shoes, books,backpacks, dance, laundry, and gift bags, we provide a quality product that is custom to you.  Our bags are not mass produced unless you order them.  Your purchase is one of a kind!  Quality fabrics are used in each bag and I am constantly searching for unique fabrics.

  9. Those are so cute!!! I must go check out your website immediately! My dearest friend is a knitter, too, and her birthday is coming up. 🙂

  11. how wonderful!!! the give away and the bags! I have two from Wanda so far ~ one I use for Sunday School only ! We have prayer ropes (wrist sized) that the kids and I use to say the Jesus Prayer from (Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me) and the kids love that bag and getting the prayer ropes out! they are so used to it now that they get them out and start on their own! My other bag is used for knitting and it often is my quick purse + knitting bag!

    Wanda truly customizes to what you need the bag for! A great product and so exciting about the ‘new staff’ and that it is a family business 🙂

    it goes without saying that I would love to win another 🙂

  23. I already know and love Drawstrings …I have quite a few and am about to order another one. I liked ‘drawstrings’ on facebook too.

  26. What lovely bags!! I’m thinking they would make great Christmas presents for several ladies on my list! 🙂

  28. I bought a western themed bag to keep my research notes in and I love it! I would love another bag. They are so well made and such pretty fabric.

  31. Beautiful bags! It is a small (internet) world- I had heard about Elizabeth and her sock knitting from another favorite blogger, Ann Voskamp. Praying for her as well.

  34. I’ve been reading Wanda’s blog for a few months now, and am always in awe of her sewing skills and cute bags! This is an awesome giveaway! Thanks Ginny and Wanda!
