You know I'm a follower :)
That is a mighty fine pouch!
I don't really have a sewing room right now. I just sew at the kitchen table. :(
I love the fabrics in this and, of course, as it is French themed, it needs to come to France :)
In my sewing room I have lots and lots of fabric which I find very inspiring and I also have lots of books which I flick through for additional inspiration.
Thank you!

I have lots of magazines/books for inspiration and my fabrics inspire me as well! :)

Cheers ...

Pick me! Pick me! I love it!
You know Im a follower! And you can see my sewing room inspiration in your sunday sewing spaces post!
So cute, love it! Thanks for the opportunity!
If only I had the space for a sewing room. I have notebooks, sketches, tear sheets, fabric swatches, photos, etc. But mostly I have what's in my mind - the ever swirling design area in my mind!

I use music for inspiration :) Love Pandora!

Everyone loves a giveaway! This is a cute little purse. I love the kerchief girl.
I just finished an I-spy quilt for a young friend and am trying to decide which UFO to tackle next. I did promise a few fabric scraps to someone so will round those up first. For inspiration, I just start pulling fabrics out of the stash to see what they say.
I'm already a follower.
I put up cards that I have received for birthdays etc. They always seem to spark some inspiration
so pleased you are doing a handmade giveaway!! I have my KOna Color Card on the wall, because it makes me smile:)
Thank you for making the giveaway open to internationals xx

oh and of course I follow:)
Hi Charlotte! Nice pouch! I'd love to win it :) Well I don't have a sewing room at the moment, but I'm slowly taking over our bedroom with my piles of fabric percolating everywhere. So I'd say my inspiration comes from the random stacks of fabric lurking around the place. My hub is very patient.
And I'm now an official follower. :)
Fabric looking at me as soon as i walk in the door
I have an antique shelf painted in pearly pink with GOBS of thread (much is old stuff from garage sales) stacked on it that inspires me. It makes me feel I need to use it up! LOL!
Can you believe I have nothing in there for inspiration? I had one of my wall hangings up and I took it down for some reason. Gotta fix that!
I keep magazine pictures & some postcards for color inspiration.

Well, as it turns out we are moving into our first house in 2 weeks' time and I get a craft room! It's a major upgrade from the living room table in a 1-bedroom flat - hahaha. What inspires me is all the handmade gifts that I've received over the years. They are all packed up ad ready for their own little space when the room is set up :)

Lovely pouches!
I have lots of nice books and magazines to browse and get inspired in my sewing room.
Thanks for the chance!
Gorgeous pouch. I sew in the dining room so not much in there for inspiration unfortunately. I turn to the computer for the best inspiration from the rest of all you great bloggers out there. Thanks for the giveaway.
The bag is adorbs! Sadly, I have no sewing room :( the internet is my inspiration!
I love to have craft magazines and yarns and fabrics around me for inspiration.
I have a multi coloured painting I did in high school hanging above my Toyota sewing machine. I love it and it keeps me happy no matter what I do. Great fabrics in your creation :)
Very cute Charlotte.
I have some plastic mugs from childhood called Funny Faces that were promotional for Kool Aid...thanks for the chance at such a cute pouch!
Artwork from my kids helps keep me inspired. Thanks for the chance to win!

I finally put my FQs out on open shelves - all that color is great inspiration.
Hi Charlotte, gorgeous pouch. Even though I am Australian, I love red, white and blue! My niece is asking me to make her an 'Americana' quilt - which means red, white and blue fabrics! This niece recently gave a a cute litte picture of a sewing machine with the words 'sew happy' underneath, and this is in my sewing room for inspiration.
Hello, I am a very happy follower. Thanks for sharing your world with the rest of us,
I take my inspiration from the fabric! And craft books!
My inspiration.....the view for one....I sm flanked by big windows....and my walls of swap minis for two. They make my world so happy and bright. (i think I need a new swap for the summer.)
well, windows. I switched form a windowless basement with lots of room to a small dining room with 2 big windows. Natural light gives me inspiration! OH, and did i mention that I'm only 2 feet from the coffee pot?
My sewingspace is a bit full with unfinished objects, but somehow, they always inspire me to start something else...
Lovely give away!
I am a happu follower already!
I have two doll quilts that I received in swaps hanging in my sewing room, along with most of a wall of my kids art work. Very inspirational!
I have all kinds of pretty little things in my studio to inspire me! I keep my supplies out in the open because I find the color and energy to be inspiring! jinglesells at gmail dot com
I have books for inspiration and love to listen to music! Thanks for a chance to win.
Lovely purse! I can't wait to come back and explore! We are due to move soon and I am determined to have a creative space in my new place so I don't have to use the dining table!
Besides stacks of fabric to peruse through, I have a string of old aprons across one wall. I can change them out with my mood, or take them down and hang up doilies or photos or things torn out of magazines. Love your site, will be back to explore soon.

I have a pin board up on my sewing room where I put magazine cut outs for ideas. :)
brooke at richardchurch dot com
For inspiration I look at my fabric and the many books I have accumulated over the years...all about quilting, of course. Thanks for the chance to win.
What a sweet bag, I love it! I have a huge pile of TOAST and Anthropologie catalogs for inspiration!
I am a follower :)
I get a lot of inspiration from vintage sewing books.
ha! I'm a fabric whore too! Great pouch! It's sad to say, but I don't have anything for inspiration in my room. It's so beyond messy that the only inspiration is to get the crap off the floor.
thanks for the chance!
owensolivia@hotmail.com
I love your little pouch! I have my husband's grandmother's old vintage sewing machine in my room for inspiration!
Gorgeous pouch Charlotte! My 'sewing room' is my dining table so no special inspiration hanging around, but what inspires me is my treasured little swap goodies I have received from Flickr friends. Like my Sewn Spaces pincushions :)
My sewing room is such a mess at the moment that I have to get inspiration from all the great blogs I read.
I have a bulletin board that I pin up some of my favorite fabric bits on :)
Piles and piles of fabric! I'm always looking around at my stash, imagining my next project.
I am so glad I found you on twitter. Great pouch! I have some vintage blocks pinned to my design wall. They inspire me with their cool old fabric and great color combos.
The pouch looks great. I have some blocks I received in my block swaps.
Love your quilting on the pouch to showcase the fabric. My inspiration in my quilt room are two miniature quilts and my display of wooden thread spools. Thank you for the giveaway.
maryellen1304@hotmail.com
Such a gorgeous pouch! I love everything you sew.
The only inspiration in my sewing room right now is my pumpkin block. All my other goodies are on the hallway wall outside the door because the Mister wanted to be able to see them.
Of course I follow you!
I have trinkets from my childhood in an antique printers tray hanging above my sewing machine. Love your creativity!
My German porcupine doll watches me sew...got her when I was 9 mos. old so she's definitely an antique.
Gorgeous I would love to win this
xxxx
I have two vintage baby dresses hung up. Someday I hope to create something using elements based on them, but right now it's all I can do to focus on putting a pattern together in the right way. Such is motherhood...
I live in a small house so I don't have a sewing room -- my machine is in my bedroom so everything in there inspires me :-) What a sweet giveaway.
Love the pouch. Will definitely be checking back.
I get inspiration from so many places: other blogs, books about antique quilts, books about art quilts, etc. My latest idea came from some old rusty tractors out in a field!
Thanks for the chance to win.

I love the fabric! So cute! This is a wonderful opportunity to discover so many wonderfully creative blogs such as yours! thanks!
I really like having my fabrics displayed in my craft room, I think they inspire me. Sometimes a little too much and it's hard to focus on my current project :)
In my sewing room I have all of my fabric on open shelves to look at for inspiration. And also all of my quilting books :)
I have my stash sitting on shelves in the open. That's my inspiration, being able to see all the colors around me.
I'm a follower
I have a bulletin board off to the side of my machine full of ideas and mini quilts hanging around.
I have a few bulletin boards with inspirational pictures and mini quilts on the walls. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
My husband recently made me a thread holder and I suppose it's inspiration because I love seeing all the different colors on it and that makes me want to use all of them.
I love being able to see all of my fabric, that inspires me!

I have a large board covered with photos next to my design wall. lisaursino@msn.com
I have bright yellow walls and not much else! I would love to say that "we just moved," but in truth it has been almost a year... how time flies!
I just moved into my sewing room and it's desperately lacking inspiration! I do have a fabric covered bulletin board, but so far it only has an embroidery hoop on it! I'll have to fix this soon! = ) Thanks for the giveaway!
Sewing room? Ha, I wish! Sewing is done sporadically on the dining room table. I love using my kids' interests for inspiration... favorite sports, teams, colors, and objects they love.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I love pouches, they are so so useful for everything and anything! A friend gave me a pair of 'fabric' with a giant apple on each fabric - it is like a panel but each fabric is more than a 30cm square. I can't wait to use them in my girls' room. That inspires me right now :-)
Just became a new follower :)

My sewing area has stacks of fabrics and patterns for inspiration.

This is such a cute little pouch. Thank you for the chance to win. In my sewing room, my inspiration is to keep "whimsy" items to remind me not to be so serious about the points, etc. Things like a Patrick Star figurine from SpongeBob Squarepants. A stuffed duo of Crash and Eddie from Ice Age... items such as that. :)
Adorable this pouch! Love the way you used the fabrics. I have a few new books on my shelf where i'm getting inspiration from. An old embroidery book, alicia's paulson's one and a japanese on embroidered garden, such lovely things there.
Thank for the giveaway!

Hmmmmm, no sewing room here. I sew on the dining room table so I guess this inspires me to "not cook"....'cause there is no where to eat!
i love this lil pouch, gee will i put my phone in it, or use it for my ids/credit cards, hmmm we'll see.
my craft room is in coke theme, yes i m hooked on cokes, & doggies. i foster dogs, & create for dogs, fleece blankets, bandanas, pillows, beds, etc. so i hve tons of doggie fabrics /patterns.
Just starting a sewing room in my new house, I need some decor items!

Creative and fun fabric choices! Thank you for the giveaway.
I am following you on google reader and pinterest, yay!
I have an art wall with my kids framed art for inspiration.
Thanks for the chance to win!
What a great pouch! I am inspired really by all the bloggers out there but I love to surround myself by things that are crafty that I've purchased by local crafters.
I have a ton of different thread colors in my sewing room that i use to inspire me (i generally sew with white lol)
I have a bulletin board with a changing collage of postcards, photos, and magazine clippings. :)
I love my vintage sewing machines in my sewing room! Thanks for a chance to win such cute pouches!
This is adorable! I have a jar of vintage sewing notions that belonged to my grandma. They inspire me to live handmade!
Very cute, I love all the different fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win :)
I'm a new follower...looking forward to reading your blog :)
I'm a follower! Thanks for the giveaway.
My inspiration in my sewing is my computer - I read blogs like yours and it inspires me to get busy. Thanks for being among those that inspire me.
i am a follower of yours
i get inspired by looking at quilt books or blog's
I made myself a wood sign that says "CREATE" :-)
I have books that I like to flip through to get my creative juices flowing.
In addition to my books and fabric, I have artwork made by my mom and sister up on my walls. BTW, I nominated your entry for BQL in the "best art quilt" category. I just thought it was so fun!
In my sewing room I have a big mess! Not much inspiration..sorry
smcintosh12(at)gmail(dot)com
Absolutely gorgeous pouch - in my sewing room I have photos of my 3 beautiful children as well as some of my own handmade purchases (dolls, prints, etc).
No sewing room for me...just 2 cute kids! Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
Having lots of sewing/craft books help but I find most of my inspiration comes from bloggers like yourself.
Books and fabric : )
I follow your blog : )
Are fabric stacks an acceptable answer? I haven't put them up yet....er...I meant, I'm being INSPIRED by them.
I have many books and magazines that offer quick inspiration. Many handmade items decorate my craftroom along with my grandmothers button tin and my collections of shells and rocks from vacations at the beach. I also use old shutters hung on my wall as bulletin boards for hanging beautiful pictures, interesting articles or whatever catches my fancy!
I am a follower...love your pouch!
I love to have my stash all around to inspire me. Such a gorgeous pouch! Thanks for the opportunity to win it :)
what!? i think this is my favorite giveaway yet! love love love it!
i have lot's of drawing from my 4 year old, old embroidered towels, plants, books, tins, little bottles, you name it, it's sweet!
love your style! i'm a new follower.
Mostly half pieced quilt tops pinned to the walls!
The sewing inspiration I have in my sewing room is a huge window looking out into the woods.
It's lovely to sit by it and sew.
Hi, Charlotte. I sew in the dining room so there's not much for sewing inspiration. I adore the fabrics on your little bag. Thank you so much for sharing it here!
(hrmaris at yahoo dot com)
Lots of nice artwork and some things I have made
The most inspiring thing in my sewing room are the piles of stash fabric just waiting to be cut into! Thanks!
And I'm a follower, too!
I too sew in my dining room, unfortunately, but there are usually various craft books floating around my home (my daughters like to flick through them and make requests) as well as craft supplies in odd spots, LOL.
I have a sewing room but it will soon be turned into my oldest daughters bedroom. I have an inspiration board, beautiful quilt on the bed and lots of colors around to keep me inspired!
I have a huge window, my ipod, and a ton of fabric in my sewing room. Thanks for the giveaway! dcdyess289 @ yahoo .com
Gorgeous!!! For inspiration I surround myself with things made from my favorite artists and people.
I'm a follower
I'm a firm believer in cute tools making the job easier. Thus I have little anthropomorphic tweezers, scissors, a frog that holds my rotary cutter, and all of my tools sorted into milk glass holders and wooden bins. Although I too am sewing at the kitchen table, I find it pleasurable with so many comforting little touches.
Pictures my girls drew me! mjalfano19@gmail.com
I don't actually have a sewing room - or a sewing cupboard. I am dreaming of a new space just for my creative loves when we renovate. In the mean time it is in boxes & Bags here and there all around the house where ever I can fit it.
My Creative friends inspire me.
I have a small embroidery done by my grandma that says "Bloom where you are planted". I try and follow through on that.
Beautiful fabrics or notions or cool repurposed antique/thrift finds. Love this pouch!
I have a window ;) Honestly I get so much inspiration from just looking out into the garden over the course of the year, seeing the different colours. It is of course a huge distraction as well, and recently when i left some fabric near it for a week when i went on holiday it completely faded, so now I'm getting worried about how to store the rest, just in case.
I have to be honest my fabric collection is really the main inspiration for me. Other than that I like to keep my notions in different colored glass jars. I love how the sun hits the jars and brings the room to life.
I have my kids and my laptop (usually on Pinterest) for inspiration.
kirkwood0419(at)hotmail(dot)com
I don't have a sewing room haha. So I sew in the livingroom and so my books are there ... the inspire me!
i have a bunch of artwork hanging in my sewing corner, including a painting done by my grandma.
In my sewing room I have a board full of odds and ends, cards, invitations, flowers made by my grandchildren. I also collect vintage sewing items, buttons, lace, embroidery, it goes on and on. I see inspiration all around me. Most inspiring is my fabric stacked where I can see it.
I have an inspiration board, design wall, some prints and some mini quilts as well as a fun hot pink chair in my sewing room. I hope to have more in there eventually but right now I have to sew in my bedroom ;)
I have lots of colorful art in my sewing room. Most of it is animation cels or cutesy animal prints like a 1980 Richard Scarry poster.
My fabric is a big inspiration and books of course
I leave my fabric stash in plain view so I can see all the colors. I know that violates rules of fabric storage (or something like it), but I keep the blinds closed. I also have pictures of places I've traveled just for fun. Thanks for the chance!
I've been a follower for a while now- thanks!
In my sewing room I have lots of magazines, fabric and patterns for inspiration.
my sewing table is in front of my window so I can look at the hanging basket I have in memory of my cousin who was murdered last year. It inspires me every day. :-)
fabric is my inspiration!:)
I kinda have a sewing corner rather than a room, but every time I look in that corner of the house it makes me want to go over and create something.
I love your fabric choices! For inspiration I have my fabric piled everywhere :) I am sorting thru and bolting it right now and finding all sorts of things I forgot about!
I perused my magazines, cut out all my inspirations and mod podged it on a shoe box for color and inspiration (it serves a dual purpose of holding some of my scraps too)
I have a picture of my son
I have lots of fabric and magazines for inspiration.
I have a bulletin board by my sewing machine and it's covered with cards and notes and drawings my girls have made me over the years! Thanks for an adorable zip bag - I love these!
I sew in my living room so I usually have flickr open with tons of inspiration
i like old photographs so i use them as inspiration :) raineoc@yahoo.com
i love having quilt blocks and pretty fabric around me
Love your giveaway, I keep all my magazines to inspire me and my past projects that I have kept.
No room, just my fabric in bins under my computer desk and my sewing machine tucked away in my living room. Maybe I'll have a lovely craft room someday!
Sweet pouch!
In my sewing room I have a painting by my mother to inspire me, a vintage quilt top that I bought at a garage sale to inspire me and many prints and postcards of my friends' works in all kinds of media. Then, of course, there are all the supplies...
I'm a follower of your blog and happy about it.
Such a cute bag! I keep about 3 generations of Mother's Day handcrafts in my sewing room; including some of the first sewing projects I made for my grandmother, and things my children have made for me.
Cute! I just have shelves stacked with my WIPs
hannah dot kitching at hotmail dot co dot uk
How cute! I just love looking at the fabric in my craft room!
I don't have a sewing room, just a corner of the dining room - I get inspiration from other peoples blogs x
I have my stash on open shelves and my design wall always has something on it for inspiration.
I get my inspiration from my grandmothers quilt that she made for my mother's wedding :-) thank you for a chance to win such a fun pouch!
I have been blessed to have a sewing room in our new home and decorating it is even more fun!! I am fortunate enough to also have a lot of my grandmothers sew notions and fabrics :-) thanks for the chance to win!
I have my fabrics on a baker's rack for inspiration. i can look at them all day
So pretty!
I have some vintage jars filled with my Grandma's collection of old buttons and her sunhat. =]
Thanks!

That's a lovely pouch & beautifully made. I have a photo of my Grandma in my sewing room & her old sewing basket (still mostly full of her supplies). She taught me the basics of sewing when I was young but it's only in the last 2 years that I've taken it up again & I think of her often when sewing. Thanks for the giveaway (& hi from a fellow OZ dweller).
I'm a follower of your blog, thanks again.
