I was soooooooooo surprised!! I surely did read and appreciate every single one of them!!</p>
<p>I’ll get to the giveaway winner in a moment, let&#8217;s take a look at the prize!! * v * The winner chose my surprise handmade pouch!!!</p>
<p><a title="Patchwork pouches" href="http://www.chubbyhobby.com/wp-content/uploads/post-images/dec-2009/patchwork-pouches.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-674];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter img-border" width="500px" src="http://www.chubbyhobby.com/wp-content/uploads/post-images/dec-2009/patchwork-pouches-small.jpg" alt="Patchwork pouches" /></a></p>
<p>I really liked the fabric combination of this drawstring pouch, so I decided to make one for myself as well!!^0^ I used different drawstrings for the two pouches &#8211; this is not intentional, I just ran out hehe</p>
<p><a title="Handmade stamp tags" href="http://www.chubbyhobby.com/wp-content/uploads/post-images/dec-2009/stamp-tags.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-674];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter img-border" width="500px" src="http://www.chubbyhobby.com/wp-content/uploads/post-images/dec-2009/stamp-tags-small.jpg" alt="Handmade stamp tags" /></a></p>
<p>I also stitched my <a href="http://www.chubbyhobby.com/make-and-create/hand-carved-stamp/">hand carved stamp</a> tag on the side!! Which I think makes the pouches look really lovely!</p>
<p><a title="Patchwork pouches" href="http://www.chubbyhobby.com/wp-content/uploads/post-images/dec-2009/patchwork-pouches-2.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-674];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter img-border" width="500px" src="http://www.chubbyhobby.com/wp-content/uploads/post-images/dec-2009/patchwork-pouches-2-small.jpg" alt="Patchwork pouches" /></a></p>
<p class="aligncenter italic">Left: this one I made for my NDS, but it turns out too small &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t fit T_T;<br />Right: this will go to the giveaway winner!!!</p>
<p>I think I&#8217;ve kept you waiting for long enough, and the <b>::winner::</b> is:</p>
<p class="aligncenter" style="font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: bold">Kate from <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://foxslane.blogspot.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/foxslane.blogspot.com/?referer=');">Foxs Lane</a> (Comment 281)</p>
<p>Kate, I will be sending you an email^^<br />
