My bag giveaway is for this zippered box-pouch bag. Perfect for keeping sewing supplies or even toiletries for your next trip. It is fully lined and has a zipper pull from the lovely Jennie over at Zipit! She has the best zippers ever! The fabric used is by Amy Butler and is Dehli Blooms in Grass from her Soul Blossoms line.
The bag measurements are 9x4x6. It was made in a smoke-free, pet-free home.
I think we will have a cookout at home. I'm in the US.
