recently I decided I wanted to create some graphics to add onto some of the many solid t-shirts I own. except in the end I realized I'm really a solid t-shirt kind of girl...so what to do? I ended up deciding to add them to a messenger bag instead:
the bicycle is cut from a piece of vintage fabric, but the thrift patch is avery printable fabric. I love that stuff - I've always had good luck with it & the bonus {for me at least} is that when you use the iron to fuse it, the smell reminds me of those t-shirt stores where you'd pick your design & t-shirt then they'd make it for you with a big heat press. good times...
anyhow, I also designed a couple other images & made totes with them as well. but really, I don't need 4 more totes so I'm going to do a little giveaway for them:
here's what to do if you're interested in getting in on this:
- just leave a comment & let me know which bag{s} you'd like. you can want more than one - just put them in order of your preference. {reminder: the green messenger bag is NOT included in the giveaway, its mine...all mine}
- the first random number generated winner is guaranteed their preference, then each winner after that gets whatever bag is left that is highest on their list.
- don't worry about leaving your email address - I'll announce the winner here on the blog monday june 22nd then you'll contact me with your shipping address.
- this is open to people outside the US, but there can only be one winner from overseas...sorry.
- I'll leave the comments open until 12 noon {cst} on sunday june 21st.
in closing, would anyone be interested if I made items with these graphics on them available in the shop or through one of those websites that will print designs on just about anything? just curious...
UPDATE: please note, the knit version is NOT included in the giveaway!

Hi. The totes are cute. I like the one that says I embroider naked. lol. And the thrift one. Both are great.
Oh, I love the one that says I embroider naked; it's great! Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!
All of the bags look very, very cool, but I think my fav. one is 'screw new THRIFT'.
I would def. purchase one (or two or three!) if they were available for purchase.
Awesome! Ok, I think it's obvious, but my first choice would be the embroidery bag. But here's my official list:
1. I Embroider Naked
2. I Cross-Stitch Naked
3. Screw New Thrift
4. I Heart Sprinkles
I think all of these designs are great, and I would definitely try a test batch of one bag in each design to sell in your shop!

here are my preferences:
1. i cross stitch naked
2. screw new - thrift
3. i embroider naked
i'd totally buy one btw, i hope that you'll have them printed!!
These are super cool! I couldn't imagine the embroider naked one when you described it but I think it maybe my favorite. That & the sprinkles.
So GREAT!
I heart sprinkles!!!!!!
And I would definitely purchase these designs. Put 'em up!
I LOVE the sprinkles one first, and the thrift second! :)
I would definitely buy these too!
I love the I Heart Sprinkles and the I Embroider naked ones. :)
I cross stitch naked.
Please please please please sell these. I want it, need it, quite possibly may die without it. lol
Screw new... thrift! Love it. I hear sprinkles is the close second.
Great designs...thanks for sharing!
I heart sprinkles is adorable!
I love the idea of giveaways! What fun!
Oh goodness. . . love them all!
but if I have to choose. . . :)
1. I embroider naked
2. I heart sprinkles
3. I cross stitch naked
4. Screw New Thrift
oh, I love the "I Embroider Naked" one. It would be nice to see them in the shop.
2. I Heart Sprinkles
3. Screw New Thrift
4. I Cross-Stitch Naked
So creative! I love them all, but I've got to say I heart Sprinkles is my favorite. :) The naked ones made me laugh!
They're really cool.
I like the I embroider naked and i heart sprinkles ones best :)
I embroider naked is my favorite!
I agree with everyone else that you should print some up and test sell them on your etsy shop!
You talented lady you!
I love "Screw New Thrift."
Because I misunderstood it at first and thought you were saying "Screw 'New Thrift'" and not "Screw New, Thrift" at first.
(I've been hearing way too many breathless news stories on how the New Frugality has broken out everywhere and people are doing all kinds of wild and crazy things like packing a lunch to work - which I have been doing since I was EMPLOYED more than ten years ago, thankyouverymuch.)
So it kind of works in two ways for me.
LMAO! I love the "I embroider NAKED" one! The "screw new THRIFT" one is pretty cute too. Those would be my choices (with embroider first, of course!) ;)
I definitely think you should put them in your shop! Are they silkscreened on or is it a transfer? I haven't had great luck with the transfers, but yours look really nice!
Love them all! My Favorite is I embroider naked!
Cute bags. I can always use a bag.
My Favorites:
1)I love sprinkles
2)Thrift
Thanks for the great giveaway.
I love your site.
I love the "Screw New..Thrift" bag!
love the sprinkles one!! and the cross stitch naked one :)
Sah-weet bags!! How cute would it be to take one of those "Screw New...THRIFT" bags into one of those haute tauty "boutique thrift stores" that charge an arm and a leg for something that they just walked down the street to an actual 2nd hand thrift, bought something super cheap, and walked it back down to their store to mark it up for previously mentioned appendages.
If i won the SNT bag, i'd be sure to fill it with true 2nd hand treasures before walking into one of those "boutique thrift shops". :o)
And, if some other lucky reader won, i'd certainly buy one!
Good luck everyone!
I would like the special designed totes: I embroidery naked or I heart sprinkles, if I had a choice. #If you ever make one that says I needlepoint naked, please let me know I would like to purchase. My husband would like that idea!
bonjour,
mon préféré est "I cross-stitch naked" !
I love the I embroider naked bag! I also love the I heart sprinkles!
So cute!
at my age, I think it best for everyone that I just list the
Screw New, Thrift bag...
I guess the I heart Sprinkles is ok, but the naked thing shouldn't be happening at my house!! LOL
I love
1. I embroider naked
2. Screw New Thrift
Awesome!
I also love "I embroider naked" and :I heart Sprinkles".

EEEKKK how fun!!! I totally love them all. And I would love to be able to purchase the "screw new, Thrift" as a graphic. that would make an awesome tshirt!!!
I love the "I embroider naked" one. It HAS been known to happen!
I love the embroidery naked and the sprinkles totes.
Here from Craft Gossip and loving the embroidery-hoop pinup gal . . . and I do heart sprinkles very much, of course.
So, in order:
1. Cross-stitch
2. Embroider
3. Sprinkles
4. Thrift
As far as purchasing bags like these, I might buy an "I knit naked" bag as a gift, but no-one I know well enough to give a "naked" tote to embroiders, at least as far as I know.
I am tempted to strip before picking up my hoop again...
1. I embroider NAKED
2. Screw New Thrift
3. I heart Sprinkles
4. I cross-stitch NAKED (don't actually cross-stitch, but my mom does and would get hysterical at that bag!)
These would sell, I think. :-)
my 2 yr old daughter saw the sprinkle bag and said "ooooo, mommy we need that bag for ME". so she'd like to say that's her favorite (yes, she has a sprinkle fetish!)!
if we dont win- will you be selling that one again in the future???? would luv to buy if we dont win!
Hey, I emailed you. I know that's the Owl stringart I did when I was younger :o) Please tell me where you got it!
Otherwise, the I love sprinkles is my favorite...
How about I Craft Naked? Just a thought.
my pick would be screw new thrift con5459(at)gmail(dot)com
My choice would be the I cross-stitch naked! Love it!
I love the naked ones best.
1. I knit naked
2. I cross stitch naked
3. I embroider naked
4. Screw new, thrift.

Thanks for such a fun giveaway! :) I'd love either 1) Screw New Thrift or 2)Cross stitch Naked. Although I'm sure that would freak out a lot of people. Can you pictuer the looks? Imagine being at the grocery store. The guy next to you looks over and sees your bag. lol.
Thanks for the giveaway. :)
zomg!!! your totes made me giggle!
i'm all about 'i heart sprinkles' being #1. they make vanilla frozen custard crack in a dish. the next best are both of the naked ones, since i do both of them religiously :) though the 'screw new thrift' is sweet cause i like to say 'screw' a lot...
I would love the Sprinkles one first and then the embroider naked one next. I love your work and ideas
Ohh, I just adore the I cross stitch Naked one. That is sooo funny. They are all cute but anything to do with cross stitch is always my first pick. hehe
They are all awesome!
Cross stitch would be my first choice.
