wow.. what an incredibly generous giveaway! i absolutely love your work.. i own a zipper purse and i can see myself collecting much more of your great bags in the future!

My cats are called Kipper and Clyde. Bear with me if you already know this, but a kipper is a smoked herring, dyed orange. A kip is also a short nap, or in Scotland, your bed. Kipper is orange and loves to sleep. Clyde is named for the river that runs past my flat in Glasgow, in which Clyde has been known to paddle, looking for voles.
I'd love to see a bag called Clyde in 2011!
I love it when there is a giveaway worth while! I have followed you FOREVER! However I do not own your bags yet..... I always seem to miss my chance to buy by what seems like seconds. One day! Maybe because of this giveaway, I will have a made by hank!
Love your work! I love your style, Love your leather straps, and mid to large bags! You do amazing ruffle work, and I dig it!

I love this and I love your bags! I have 2 and I use them all of the time. I have a lovely Scottish Terrier named Nelson and he sits next to me as I browse etsy for more wonderful handmade items. I wish you much success and all the best in 2011!
What a great idea for a giveaway! I love your shop!
LOVE all of your purses and I have been stalking you since Etsy had you up as a featured seller :)
No New Years Rez this Year...I break them all the time, why set myself up to fail right at the beginning of the year :)
3 Dogs...their names are Sawyer (a Golden), Sushi (a Chow) and Lucy (a bratty beagle)...

My dog's name is Winnie; she's an adorable 3-year-old Yorkshire Terrier and I love her very much! :)
I'm a long time fan of your work, You are so awesomely talented. I hope you will someday make more tough ruffles purses with the shoulder strap fashioned from belts, like the one I have as I have many a friend who would like one similar to mine :) Also I love your stitchings and it would be a dream to have a purse decorated with one of your stitchings. In any case, what you already do is amazing and you are well deserving of your current popularity :)

I love to watch your creativity evole. I own 3 of your purses and am constantly reaching for them over and over again. Thank you for your tireless effort in making them durable and eyecatching!
New Year's Resolution? Hand written notes on birthdays to my true friends. The ones that make me smile when I think of them, need to know these things and why not tell them on their birthday how much they mean to me. I miss paper, pens, ink and the heart warming notion that someone will appreciate receiving actual snail mail.
Thanks for the giveaway and for keeping up your incredible work!
my dog's name is elton, just in case you were wondering. :) thanks for the giveaway!
i love your clutches! so much! i have been collecting them for my bridesmaids and would love to see some more colors (greens/yellow/purlple) i have gotten 3 so far and i am so excited to give them to the girls:)
i absolutely LOVE your work. you are the best! would love to see some more colors for the ruffle clutches!!
My new years resolution is to ace all of my courses this term while still being super mom to two lovely babies and super wife to a lovely man.
I never thought I was a 'purse girl.' Then I found yours. Now I want them all!
Wow!!
I shall tell you about my wonderful pussy cats called Jezebel Lincoln and Double Rainbow (Bowie) Lincoln.
Thank you for all the hard work.
Love your bags. You are a talented woman and I really enjoy seeing all of your lovely creations!

Love your work! Beautiful purses and lovely blog. would made my day, month, year to win! Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to see more messenger bags in your shop! I ride my bike everywhere and it's really hard to carry a shoulder bag without falling off. If I could get my hands on one of your beautiful bags in a messenger style I'd be the envy of the bike path.
my new years resolution is to chill the hell out.
Love your bags! They make me very happy!!! :) My resolution this year is to have more fun, less stress, and continue to be happy!

Such a cool awesome giveaway! I'm still HANKering after one of your bigger bags... I'm still a student, but thanks to seeing how you managed to quit your day job to do you're dream sewing job gives me hope that one day maybe I can do it too!

Once upon a time when I still lived in Philadelphia, I purchased a sweet little bird pouch you made for Bambi Gallery . This pouch now carries all of my cards and must-haves; I've even showed it off at school as the art object I always carry!
One must always carry art.
Someday, I hope to buy one of your big purses. Even better, one of your embroideries. Until then - maybe my little bird will earn a sibling. Thank you for the wonderful work!
eeeeeeek! excitingggggg!
i have a cute black cat named josie :)
my dog's name is isabel, my cat's name is millie, and my finches' names are mr. mcfinchybottom, larry unicorn, + captain harold malcom xavier, MD. love love love your bags.

Hi! I bought a spinning wheel with Christmas money, and one of my resolutions is to learn to spin yarn well enough for commissions. Happy New Year!! Thank you for this opportunity.
Love your bags! One day I would like to be as great an artist and seamstress as you are. :) Anyway, Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to seeing what new designs you come up with in 2011.
You're very sweet! Happy new year to you, too :) I love your purses and your style!
Yay! Thank you Katie! Love your handbags, so stylish and wearable. I tend to not like the common leather-style handbags from high streets (they just look "old" to me), but your designs are fantastic. :) Kudos on the business and all your hard work.
my resolution: live life in the moment more- give more, save more and embrace my life more.
My new year's resolution was to stop turning our living room into my personal arts and crafts studio. I'm not sure it's been successful, but I do put more things away every evening!
I love everything you've ever made, I really don't know how you produce so many things, and I love how you're always trying something new. happy new year!
What a fantastic giveaway! I love your creations!! My resolution has been to sew and blog more and so far I have been keeping it :)
my new year's resolution is to try to enjoy the journey more than the destination!
Oh, I would be so happy to win one of these, I love your purses!!
wonderful giveaway. thank you!
Ellen L.
first off, katie, you have such great talent! love all your creations!
my new years resolution is to continue on my journey of starting my own business, "FlyChicks". my sis and i are going at this with not much business experience, but with influences all around, including you, we figure..why not? why waste such great love and talent. besides, someone has to buy all this stuff i cant quit making!!

happy 2011!
KI have beeen a follower of your blog for some time! Your creativity and energy is truly inspiring. I love that you are an artist, and it portrays well through your sewing and creating. Happy 2011!

Very exciting ... not sure if one can own enough madebyhank stuff...
hi there,
love your work!
i tend not to make resolutions, but do often have a 'word of the year' that correlates with whatever trend is overarching my life. this year i believe it to be 'reckoning'. in the past it's been, perseverance, adaptable, and capability.
my dog's name is strawberry.
I own one of your bags and LOVE IT! And, my dogs name is charley
hi. they all look so lovely!! i'll my new puppy's name will be cloud.

Yay! One of my resolutions is to get ahold of a MBH purse... All I have are little zipper purses and pencil purses. I want a big girl one :)
Awesome purses! I hope I'm one of the lucky 11 :)
What a year it has been for you! Hopefully you have stocked up on Advil to prevent arthritis from all that sewing!! Love your work. Congrats!
My NY resolution was the same it is every year - get into better shape. One would think that after 15 years of making this same resolution that I'd be some sort of uber athlete... but I'm not!
I have resolved to not make resolutions, as they tend to lead to copious amounts of chocolate!
I don’t own any pets, but I have a beautiful array of plants that are alive and kicking!
I love the purses posted on Monday October 11, 2010 – Samantha, Lauren, Kennedy, Molly and their sisters, I would love to see this design again or something new with both a shoulder and a cross body strap for versatility.
I would love to see some more tough ruffles messenger bags in your shop. It's hard to use a shoulder bag when I ride my bike!
brie.oberle@gmail.com
I'd love one of those!
i have always been a big fan. it would be a great way to start the year to win one of your fabulous creations!

hello i am a madebyhank addict. my fave one i own is a tough ruffles. and our dog's name is moz.
One of my new year's resolutions is to keep my apartment cleaner, nicer looking and not like a crack den. So this weekend I broke down the tower of cardboard boxes piled up in the corner of my room for my cat Maximus to play with, and instead I built him a little teepee! It's so cute and he actually laid in it for a little while! It's the best thing that's happened so far this year!
Love ur purses! So fashionable and trendy. My baby's due date is the 24th, would be great to find out I've won on the same day!
I love your work!!! I have one wristlet and want more but I just got my hours reduced at work. :(
I have two kids to feed, dress, and keep sheltered, so for know I just daydream when I can finally get my hands on another one!!!
omg! i hope i win! katie your bags and pouches are always SUPER cute. duhz.
my dogs name is Rebus, he is a delightful black english cocker spaniel. He happily lies at my feet when I am sewing and when it's really cold we bring his bed into the workroom so he can have a cozy snooze.
I adore you work and really like your new striking prints.
What a great - and generous - giveaway!
My new years resolution is to finish what I start. I'm really great at thinking up new projects and getting started on them. I constantly have lots of projects in motion. This year, I want to work on making sure these projects get finished and my ideas become realities!
Can't wait to see who wins!
Love your bags!!! pick me pick me pick me!!!

Great giveaway! My resolution is to not stress over stuff that doesn't matter.
And to add more color to my life. :)
i just got my 3rd zipper purse in the mail.. and i just love it. i get so many compliments! Thanks!
Hi, your sewing is already an entertainment for me to see. I'd like to see more laces and frills from your bag and purse. It'll be a great combination between sturdy well constructed bag, and prettiness.
I am such a fan of yours! This last year I got one of your tough ruffles bags and I absolutely treasure it! It has so much soul.
This year my resolution originally had to do with food, and not eating the unhealthy variety, but that's just too risky since there are too many meals in a year! Ha.
Keep up the great work! You're awesome!
OMG girly friend. You are A M A Z I N G! Every little pouch is darling and I need one to feel complete. So if you can Help a girl out my email is herheadsintheclouds@gmail.com. Oh, and my pups name is Ginger she's a very friendly little red nose pit. Have a super day! xoxo
I heart your purses!

I JUST found your blog and your AMAZING creations and i am IN LOVE!! Saving my pennies so I can purchase one soon!!

I just wanted to say how much I love your purses! I also just got back from a three-week study abroad program in India and loved every second of it. Have you ever checked out traditional henna designs? I think you could do wonderful things with your skills using henna as inspiration.
How fun! I love your bags, thanks for the fun giveaway!
I don't really make resolutions, but I am trying to feed my family better, and not spend as much money.
I would love to get the chance to get to buy my own piece of madebyhank art, like the zipper purses with the sewn elephants and horses!!
My new year resolution is to learn that things take time :)
hey, why the heck not! you're da best katie hawk! xo joanna
Katie- I looove your purses! I e-stalk you all the time to see what's new.
BTW, I love the clutches you used to make with the illustrations stitched into them. It would be awesome if you brought those back. Love your variety though! Have a great day!
I've been "hank"ering for one of your goodies for a year now! Maybe this will be my lucky break :) Thanks for sharing your lovely wares with 11 lucky people! Yay!
thanks for such a great giveaway!
My resolution this year is to turn more of my ideas into realities!
I am HUMAN! I am addicted to Made By Hank!! I carry my newest bag every frigging day!!!!

I always love to your bags and purses. They are well-build, lots of cute details, not to mention beautiful fabric you use. I especially love the wood-burned brand that attached on your bags.
