I am looking forward to this issue. Like many of the sewists out there, I am enjoying making bags. Would love a new pattern....
What fun! I'd love to win the bag patterns and maybe a new dress? I'd like to try something new
We are so very fortunate to live at the time that we have this very informative and entertaining resource, 'Threads' magazine. I think I am only missing one issue, somewhere in between Numbers 10 to 20, in my library. Thank you for years of reading, learning and sharing the joy of sewing and related arts. Mary Jean Dunn
All of the patterns look interesting to make. My favorite is the dress pattern--looks like it would be very comfortable to wear.
I would love to win your pattern to make a bag as I haven't made a bag yet but would love to try!

Thank you for the opportunity to win these fab patterns!
Sewing is my stress relief. After a "bad" day at the nursing facility, sitting down and putting something together or decorating as long as the machine is humming, I de-stress.
Thanks for the chance to win these great patterns! Fingers are crossed!
I purchased the Handbag book as soon as I saw it and have kept it for this upcoming weekend to have something special to read on a time away! How great it would be to have patterns to go to work on when I came home.
Love threads. I always learn something.
I love making bags and have the Threads Handbag, have the materials to make the lame' and lace bag now. Thank you for the contest.

Thank you for the chance to win the free patterns. I love sewing handbags and these are really cute.
All the patterns look interesting and I would love to win any of them. Thanks for the opportunity.
Would love to Win! Always up for a challenge.
All my life I have loved purses, bags, totes, carry-alls, anything I could get my hands on. Now, I can make them for myself or for gifts. Perfect! Thanks!
Thanks for the give away....would be great to try a new project!
Yes! count me in -- always looking for new patterns
I just think Threads is a great asset to the sewing community
I am very impressed with the designs. I would love to win them.
I have so many lovely fabrics stashed away and think it would be interesting and fun to try the skirt in different lengths and "venues" such as daytime business, evening out, etc.
What a generous offer in the midst of summer when we all are looking for something fresh and engaging! Good luck to the other entrants. Some of us will certainly be lucky!
Please count me in!
Could really use your fantastic give-a-way. I have made a couple of evening purses but I'm sure there has to be an easier way to make than the way I approached the projects.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Sew, sew, sew. I love to sew.
I love my Threads magazine, and this special edition on Handbags looks so enticing! Although I've been sewing for over 35 years, I can always learn something new from every Threads issue I receive. Thank you so much for all you do!
Would love any of the patterns. Stash needs to be whittled down and any of those would solve that issue.
i would live to win one of these patterns. looking gorward to special edition from Tbeeads
You can't have too many patterns or too many purses! I'd love to win these.
I love the bags. The skit pattern may inspire me to wear them more often.
Looking for that "best" bag pattern, this may be the one!
It's Christmas in July so thinking about cute easy projects for Christmas. Any one of the three bags by Cheryl Kuczek would be greatly appreciated. Please enter me in the Pattern Giveaway contest!
thanks for a great opportunity
Would love to win one of these patterns!
I would be thrilled to win one of Cheryl's patterns and look forward to sewing one of them.
Thanks, Cheryl
A girl can never have too many bags, and these are a perfect addition to any collection...
Bought your newest magazine about Handbags a few days ago. I was so thoroughly impressed that I started to make notes on which fabrics I have to make them, as well as some of the leather that I have harvested from other purses that have 'died a painful death', like a handle would break. To me, my purses or bags are my friends--they have to hold a lot, glasses, keys, meds, iPad, phone etc.
Sewing is something I love to do, cause I get to create something beautiful, or useful--even putting a new zipper into one of my husbands jackets. Thank you ever so much for this opportunity.
I love sewing so to win these patterns would be a true blessing, these pattern look so good. You guys always have the greatest giveaways thank you.
Can't wait to read the new issue on bags. Love to make them. The patterns look fun, too.
I would love to win one of these, thanks for the opportunity.
Yummy handbags to enjoy! Thanks for the giveaway!!! :)
I've been making bags for years - always on the lookout for more ideas!
I would love to win this giveaway--I'm just getting back into sewing after retiring!
So many possibilities with these patterns, pick me please
I would love to get any or all of these patterns, as I really love to sew.
Wow, I learn so much through Threads magazine, I never knew there were patterns out there beyond what was at the fabric store. Thank you Threads for opening up a whole new world of sewing for me! I would love to try one of these patterns
Looks like I could have a lot of fun sewing with these patterns.
Love the market bag!
Fantastic fabric fabrication-ista!
I would create.
I recently purchased the Threads Handbags special issue and after much deliberation, took it to the copy shop to have three patterns printed. Too bad it's not here to see Cheryl's designs. I do like the pictured skirt and frock; nice!

An interesting selection of patterns... would love to be the winner.
I really enjoy makeing my own handbags. One Christmas I make bags for 6 little girls, they each had their own design.
With a young granddaughter, i can see making these bags over and over as she grows.
Always love trying a new pattern designer. These look like fun. Thanks for the opportunity.
I sew but I've never tried sewing bags. Winning these patterns could start me up on bag making.
It would be good to try something from someone other than the big pattern companies. Hope I win one!
I love making bags and would love to win one of these patterns.
It would be fun to make a new bag for shopping. I use the ones that are generic for groceries each week. Something special would be an eye catcher.
Looking forward to the articles about making handbags and appreciate the opportunity to win one. Thanks!
These sound interesting, thank you for the chance to win a pattern.
What a great opportunity. I bet if I made my own grocery bags I would have an easier time remembering to take them with me to the store!
Always exciting to learn more about making bags. Thanks for the chance to win.
I am a patternaholic and would love to have the chance to win one of these patterns! I have just ordere the Threads 2013 archive and I am so looking forward to its arrival!!! Thanks for the chance!
Any one of these patterns would be a super plus addition to a pattern library. I for one could certainly make excellent use as I am not an average size in any shape or form. [email protected]
I bought the handbag issue today--great ideas for gifts. Thank you for the inspirations.
I am looking forward to seeing the handbag issue.....and some great ideas in bag making.

Love to make bags, love to have new patterns!
I like to sew bags. Cheryl's clothing patterns look great too!
I enjoyThreads Magazine "sew" much!
I love the bags that I make myself, with extra care to durability. Fabric choice is important, with suitability in mind for the intended use of the bag. I like "found objects" for creative elements and handles. Whether made of hand embroidered silk for evening, or of terry for the beach, my bags go everywhere with me!
Would love to win! Thanks for the giveaway.
I would "sew" love to win these patterns!
I love the skirt, and the dress has some posssibilities, but it's such a small pic, it's hard to be sure. Sure would like to win the skirt pattern.
Thanks for the giveaway!
It would be great to win a pattern!
I remember when I started sewing, we had only the main pattern manufacturers to choose from. I love seeing all of the independent designers' patterns we have now. Thanks for continuing to showcase all of them.
To "win" a pattern would be a special treat.
Nice! I would love to win any of these patterns!
The Boho Frock looks really cute, but they all look great.
I can't get enough patterns for bags!
Oooh! I would love to receive these patterns!
I would also love to receive one of those patterns. It would be wonderful to be able to use them to bless others.
Ohh, pick me, pick me! I'd love to make new bags. Amy
I'm pleased to see that Threads is releasing a special issue -- I'll have to look for that one.
What a great prize I constantly look for patterns from pattern makers outside the big name companies as they are hard to get in rural Australia
Sewing for my mom, my daughter, my daughter-in-laws, my grandkids and myself these would come in handy.
The Handbags special issue is so welcome. I've collected some gorgeous fabrics to use for creating handbags/purses and needing direction to get started. Thanks Threads!!
That Boho Frock is adorable!
Pardon me for sounding crabby, but the teaser for this article says you're GIVING AWAY patterns. What you are really doing is offering us a chance to win patterns. There's a difference. Could we have a little more truth in advertising?
I always enjoy making garments and lo-o-o-v-e trying new patterns that are not run of the mill patterns. I always learn something new or it generates a new idea to try. I would love to win one of the garment patterns.
