TC Official(ish) Giveaway 2, The Givening
9This was fun the first time around, so I’m bringing it back.
If you’ve been following the TC Learns to Sew topic, you’ve seen me learn everything from clothing to wallets, to bags, and a few other things.
This week, I’m making small squishies with pouches inside of them, and it’s making me work for it. Here’s a lemon I just finished:

(Don’t mind his wonky smile, it’s on purpose.)
Ok, here’s how this works:
- Tell me what you’d want if you could choose something. (There is a limit to what I can make and ship for this, so think smaller items.)
 - I’ll close this topic on Thursday, 11/6/25, whenever I get in and remember. Then I’ll pop everyone’s name into a random generator, and one person will get something special from me.
 
Disclaimer time:
By entering this giveaway, you agree to the following:
- No gripes about what you got, what you didn’t get. This is me personally doing this, and I’d love to do this type of thing again, so don’t be a jerk.
 - The thing you get is completely up to me, and what you put down as a request isn’t a guarantee that you’ll get that type of thing.
 - I make no guarantees as to the longevity, usability, or safety of the item you get.
 - The thing you get might suck. Actually, expect that. That way, you aren’t bummed out when you get something dumb.
 - Neither Mercatalyst nor I are responsible for the item. Like, at all. If you somehow manage to hurt yourself using a wallet or whatever you receive, that’s on you.
 - Employees of Mercatalyst cannot enter this giveaway.
 - I’m not able to sew children’s clothing items or stuffies, as there is a special safety certification I do not have.

Dear Thumperchick,
My cats like playing with little stuffed mouses, and bread ties. And AMZN boxes.
They’re a little drain bamaged and currently they are fond of my plastic hospital bracelet I came home with a couple weeks ago.
I’m sure they would be happy with practically anything, really, but a little stuffed carrot or fish or whatever you might have would be appreciated.

@therealjrn Oh, man - those cats are beautiful and adorable. You need one of those Chomchom rollers if you don’t have one, though.
@Kyeh I do, I really, really do.
When TC gives you lemons…
(…you stuff them with catnip and throw them at your pets)
I still think the book-shaped bags are incredibly cool, but I’m just entering for fun with no expectations!
I would like a banana for scale
nothing avocado related! Dealers choice.
How thoughtful and generous. And Ladybird would love any toy you happen to ship her way. Squeaker would appreciate the distraction that a new toy would create.
@ironcheftoni What a nifty cat tree, so tree-like!
@ironcheftoni @Kyeh the top one is eyeing that dresser
“Wait, there’s a safer high spot.”
(My feline, you’re indoors; there’s nothing you need to be safe from.)
@ironcheftoni @pakopako Height = dominance.
