My new free patterns is available right now for download at the Sewing Republic! I wrote instructions to make a key wristlet and a dog leash. They can be matching or not...
I have been waiting for the Bernina elves to post this in anticipation of a little give away!
So here you go, choose one of the following and leave in a comment:
Any of the wristlets on the picture or supplies to make one yourself.
I will pick a winner on Thursday morning, international entries are welcome.






These are neat! I like the "Pez candy" one the best but they're all great!!

So cute! I like the Wonderland key fob - it would match a bag I'm making so perfectly!
Posted by: ~Michelle~ | June 29, 2009 at 10:42 AM
oooo i love all of them ... but the wonderland one is probably my favorite! fun!
Posted by: sara | June 29, 2009 at 10:45 AM
Fun! I love the red flowered one.
Posted by: Patsy | June 29, 2009 at 10:47 AM
I would love to win one! My favorite is the orange one on the right! Thanks!
Posted by: Sarah S | June 29, 2009 at 10:47 AM
So cute! I really like the fun, summery fabrics you've used. I really love them all, but am most drawn to the center - the red flowers. Thanks for the instructions!

Wow. I like them all. I can't decide. If I win, a surprise would be fine. :) Thanks!
Posted by: Jennifer | June 29, 2009 at 10:51 AM
Loved your photograph of you and your son. You both appear very lovely.!! I might need to try your pattern out.!!! Hopefully I'll win!!
Posted by: sharon kelley | June 29, 2009 at 10:52 AM
These are great! I would love the supplies to make them myself because I want to learn how to attach the claspy metal end thing, which scares me. ;)
Posted by: Megan | June 29, 2009 at 10:53 AM
I love the wonderland one. I just made an outfit for my 1 year old out of that fabric. These are such cute key fobs. I really need one to replace my "Nimbus 2000" key chain. ha
Posted by: Elaine | June 29, 2009 at 10:57 AM
So cute! I love the red flowers in the middle...
Posted by: Chantel | June 29, 2009 at 11:05 AM
I am loving the one in the middle, so cute!
Posted by: Jenn | June 29, 2009 at 11:08 AM
I love all three! I'd take any!
Posted by: Slack | June 29, 2009 at 11:08 AM
Loving that momo fabric - I'd pick the middle one!
Posted by: Rebecca | June 29, 2009 at 11:11 AM
What a great idea. Those are just lovely, no preference as I'd be delighted to win any!

Posted by: Chris | June 29, 2009 at 11:13 AM
I love the one on the right but golly it would be fun to make one myself and learn the process - always open to something new. Hope I am lucky.
Posted by: Anne | June 29, 2009 at 11:16 AM
Congratulations on having a tutorial featured at Sewing Republic! Can't wait to try making one, but would love to win the orange one!

Oh I love them all! Surprises are fun!
Posted by: Jill | June 29, 2009 at 11:18 AM
I love the Wonderland line so that would be my fav...however I would be willing to sew one up myself!
Posted by: Robin | June 29, 2009 at 11:18 AM
i love these! the wonderland is my favorite. But i could totally use the supplies to make one, too!
Thanks for the furn little giveaway!
Posted by: elizabeth | June 29, 2009 at 11:30 AM
All 3 are lovely! I'd like to try making one, but I doubt it's be as nice as yours.
Posted by: Ruth Smith | June 29, 2009 at 11:31 AM
THe pods on the far left are my favorite, but I'd love to make it myself, looks like a fairly simple idea with a wonderful fabric and some metal pieces? wahoo. you.

Posted by: Kate McGonigle | June 29, 2009 at 11:32 AM
Hi - I love them all but the red one on the right is my favorite. Can't wait to check out your pattern.
Posted by: Christine | June 29, 2009 at 11:41 AM
I'd love the supplies to make it myself. These look great!
Posted by: Theresa | June 29, 2009 at 11:57 AM
I like the one on the right with all the different oranges. These are so cute! I can't wait to head over and start making my own!
Posted by: Ashlee | June 29, 2009 at 11:59 AM
I love them all, but I think the one in the middle is my favorite.
Posted by: alisha | June 29, 2009 at 12:08 PM
I like the one in the middle best, I think. We're a bunch of red-heads in my house, so I'm naturally drawn to the "70's couch colors." :)
Posted by: Megan | June 29, 2009 at 12:11 PM
those bright colours are just an uplifting sight in the middle of new englands rainy summer...
Posted by: daniela | June 29, 2009 at 12:12 PM
I love the one on the left.
Posted by: Ellen Patton | June 29, 2009 at 12:28 PM
Cute! Love the one in the middle.
Posted by: Jackie | June 29, 2009 at 12:32 PM
The wonderland is my 1st choice and the orange is my 2nd. Really cute!
Posted by: Jennifer | June 29, 2009 at 12:34 PM
Oh I would just love one of these!
I love love love the middle one. I think it would be super handy to have! Two kids + Diaper bag + purse + sippy cups = lost keys!
Posted by: shelly Stout | June 29, 2009 at 12:35 PM
Those are soooo cute. I love it. Thanks for the chance to win one. I love the first one on the left.
Posted by: Joyce | June 29, 2009 at 12:51 PM
They are all gorgeous! My favorite is the first one, though!
Posted by: Shannon | June 29, 2009 at 12:52 PM
I love the flower one in the middle! Gorgeous!
Posted by: Stacy | June 29, 2009 at 01:07 PM

I'd love one of these! My favorite is the one of the left - they look great!
Posted by: Whitney | June 29, 2009 at 02:49 PM

Posted by: GTM | June 29, 2009 at 02:55 PM
Eeeeeeee! That was me squealing! I took my wristlet off my keys YESTERDAY!!! And then I see this? It's a sign! I love them all... But if I absolutely had to pick... Far right. Orange is my favorite color :o)
Posted by: Tiffany | June 29, 2009 at 03:09 PM
Oooh, so hard to choose! I love the floral...but the one on the left is sew cute as well! Thanks for the giveaway!

Greetings from New Zealand :)
Firstly, thanks so much for the baby bib pattern - I've had heaps of fun making them up in 1950s retro patterns, and it has made semi bed rest much more fun than it could've been.
If I was lucky enough to win one of these, I'd love to win the middle one - it rocks!
Posted by: Susie | June 29, 2009 at 03:58 PM
I like the red one best! So sweet!
Posted by: Chris | June 29, 2009 at 04:03 PM
So cute! Do you have any tips for sewing through heavy duty material (like the webbing)? I tried to sew a leash for our dog when we first got him, and my machine had some issues... not actually getting through, but sewing a nice stitch. I suspect it may have to do with the tension?
Anyhow, I love them all but would love to win the center floral fob or a kit to make one myself! Thanks for the adorable giveaway (and tutorial!)
Posted by: Meg | June 29, 2009 at 04:28 PM
They are really cute. I missed out on the wonderland fabric at the store near here. All they had left was a single fat quarter of the paler one...
Posted by: UK lass in US | June 29, 2009 at 04:34 PM
They're all super cute, but I love the different orange ones. How fabulous that there is a free tutorial available for this!
Posted by: Ali D | June 29, 2009 at 04:37 PM
Love the orange one, but I've always wanted to make one and whats another project....
Posted by: marg | June 29, 2009 at 04:44 PM
very cool! I love the Wonderland one best, but they are all gorgeous! Keen to have a go myself!
Posted by: Kellie | June 29, 2009 at 05:42 PM
there is a battle raging in my soul between wanting the awesome one on the right and wanting to make one myself to learn how to do it. Not that I will win anyway, but still.
Posted by: Christy | June 29, 2009 at 05:43 PM
Congrats on the pattern/tut. Hmmm give me one that's made :)
Posted by: nicole | June 29, 2009 at 06:02 PM
Greetings from New Zealand :)
Firstly, thanks for having that great bib pattern on your site, I've had a ball making bibs up for my wee girl to be in 1950s retro kitchen prints - and it has made semi bed rest so much more fun!
I'd love to win one of these, OR the kit to make it - my particular fave is the middle one.
Posted by: susie | June 29, 2009 at 06:04 PM
Im in the suprises category - I love them all! Well done!
Posted by: Gill | June 29, 2009 at 06:12 PM
I love the one on the right. Orange polka dots totally rock! I would love to make one.
Posted by: Viveca | June 29, 2009 at 06:25 PM
Thanks for the tutorial (and letting me know about that site!) I love the Wonderland Key fob, and with an 18 month old obsessed with keys, i need all the help I can get.
Posted by: Ellen | June 29, 2009 at 06:29 PM
I love the flowers! I keep meaning to buy the hardware to make these but never get around to it.
Posted by: Erin G | June 29, 2009 at 06:32 PM
Count me in.
Posted by: Zoe | June 29, 2009 at 06:37 PM
I like the one on the left. These are great!
Posted by: TammyR | June 29, 2009 at 07:04 PM
My favorite is the floral one in the middle but that could just be because I like everything to be even and middle is neutral. I strange that way =D They are all gorgeous!
Posted by: Donna | June 29, 2009 at 07:09 PM
love them all and can't wait to check out your patterns- i've been wanting to make a dog leash!
Posted by: becca | June 29, 2009 at 07:20 PM
Thank you for the new pattern. If I won one of course I wouldn't have to make it but if I don't I think I will give it a go. My fave? Hmm they are all pretty great but probably the left one.
Posted by: Lisa | June 29, 2009 at 07:32 PM
I think they are all great! I love the colors you used- so bright. I think the first or second is my favorite.
Posted by: hobocampcrafts/Melissa | June 29, 2009 at 07:43 PM
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the one in the middle! Pick me! Pick me!
Posted by: Lila | June 29, 2009 at 07:46 PM
Those are adorable. I'm having a tough time choosing between #2 and #3. Both are very "me". I suppose I'd pick #3 if pressed. ;-)
Posted by: Amanda | June 29, 2009 at 08:03 PM
Congratulations. They are all lovely. I believe I like the one on the right with the polka dots.
Posted by: Becky | June 29, 2009 at 08:07 PM
They are all really cute, but I love the middle one best. Hope to make some in the future!!
Posted by: Joy Mosley | June 29, 2009 at 08:19 PM
The wonderland is my favourite!
Posted by: Nova | June 29, 2009 at 08:20 PM
Oh, I like them all, but most of all thank you for the tutorial. Fun, quick and easy and it looks great with the hardware. I think my favorite of the three is maybe the one in the middle?
Posted by: Michelle | June 29, 2009 at 08:53 PM
Hooray! I *heart* the sewing Republic. Congratulations! I'd very much like to win the patchwork orange key wristlet. please. lovely!
Posted by: julia | June 29, 2009 at 09:20 PM
They are so pretty! I love that Wonderland one in particular, I've just made a quilt using that fabric :)
Posted by: Louise | June 29, 2009 at 09:22 PM
Oh these are very cute. I'd love to make one!
Posted by: shannon | June 29, 2009 at 09:45 PM
Lovin' the red one on the left especially because I was never smart enough to buy that fabric! That's just enough to make me smile.
Posted by: claudia | June 29, 2009 at 10:44 PM
They are all so stylish and fun! My favorite is the one in the middle! :)
Posted by: Candice | June 29, 2009 at 11:04 PM
Mmmm - they are all beautiful, but my favourite is the orange one to the right. Gorgeous! :)
Posted by: Astrid | June 29, 2009 at 11:27 PM
how cute! I think I'd like to give it a try myself, although I do love the pez one!
Posted by: Katy | June 29, 2009 at 11:46 PM
So nice !
Posted by: Stéphanie | June 30, 2009 at 03:59 AM
Love the red 'pez':)
Posted by: andrea | June 30, 2009 at 05:02 AM
I love the polka dot one on the right! Thanks for having this giveaway!
Posted by: Sandy Shirley | June 30, 2009 at 05:32 AM
Those are all great! While I'd love to make one, my sewing time has all gone to the baby, so I'd love to have one that's already made.
Posted by: Lisa | June 30, 2009 at 06:18 AM
I'm in! I need a key wristlet for my morning run, so if you don't pick me, I will make one! :)
Posted by: randi | June 30, 2009 at 06:20 AM
What a great idea! I love the red one with ovals on the left.
Posted by: Kitty | June 30, 2009 at 06:30 AM
Very cute - I would take anyone if I were to win your giveaway!
Posted by: Sylvia Keeler | June 30, 2009 at 06:39 AM
They are all so cute! Any one would be a treat.
Posted by: Emilly | June 30, 2009 at 07:23 AM
Those are way cute. And handy too... sometimes I'm out wearing yoga pants or something pocketless, wishing I had a place for my keys. I would chose the middle one if I were the lucky gal! :)
Posted by: Lisa | June 30, 2009 at 08:22 AM
Go Bernina people go! My favorite is the red one on the left.
Posted by: Jaime | June 30, 2009 at 08:25 AM
Just love to see your work. Having a giveway illustrates just how many of us follow your creativity! I adore the orange polka dots. Keep the photos of your adorable Finn coming.
Posted by: Larissa | June 30, 2009 at 08:42 AM
Those are fantastic! I would love to win the orange patchwork one on the right. And even if I don't win, I love that I'll be able to go to Bernina and find the instructions to make my own. :)
Posted by: Melissa | June 30, 2009 at 08:53 AM
oooh fab... i love the middle one best.

Posted by: Fancy Elastic | June 30, 2009 at 09:13 AM
Oh, the Wonderland key wristlet would match perfectly the credit card holder I made for myself recently!! Love it!
Posted by: mel | June 30, 2009 at 11:04 AM
I like the orange one but a kit would be great too. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us!
Posted by: Marissa | June 30, 2009 at 11:16 AM
How fun! I've been wondering how to make them, so now I can try it out!
Posted by: Valerie | June 30, 2009 at 01:33 PM
They are lovely. For me it is the orange with the blue on the right. Great happy colours. Thaks
Posted by: Lyndy Young | June 30, 2009 at 02:15 PM
So clever! I would love the supplies to make one since I'm a beginner and need all the practice I can get. :D What a cute alternative to heavy leather. Cool!
Posted by: Karen | June 30, 2009 at 02:46 PM
Love them! What a great gift idea too. I love them all. Surprise me if I'm the lucky one!
Posted by: Bridget Meiners | June 30, 2009 at 03:08 PM
Oooh! Orange!
(I should make my own, but yours are too cute!)
Posted by: Kate | June 30, 2009 at 03:25 PM
Love the Wonderland! What a great gift idea.
Posted by: Alissa | June 30, 2009 at 04:13 PM
What a great idea. These would be a great gift for parties. I like the one on the right. The fabric looks familiar, but I can't seem to come up with a name.
Posted by: Ryan | June 30, 2009 at 05:15 PM
So fun! If I had to pick I'd say... the middle one. I love all the colors!
Posted by: Hooker Next Door | June 30, 2009 at 05:40 PM
The Keyfob is super cute!
Posted by: Christy | June 30, 2009 at 07:00 PM
I love them all, but I'm channeling orange right now...so if I had to choose, it would be the orange one! Thanks!
Posted by: Mary | June 30, 2009 at 07:27 PM
I've been wanting to try to make these for a while, supplies would be great!
Posted by: Jessica | June 30, 2009 at 07:49 PM
