Sew Spoiled Putting on Snaps Turorial

Putting on Snaps with a Heavy Duty snap kit.

This is the last part of the Sew Spoiled Gadget pouch pattern.

The entire pattern is available at http://www.sewspoiled.etsy.com/!!!

Tips:

1. Practice does make perfect and 8 come in a package. So try it out before trying it on your new
Sew Spoiled gadget pouch.
2. You might not know your own strength. You can always tap more if it is not on very well but you
can’t take it back. So if you tap too hard you can smash up the snap on to your pouch.
3. Don’t throw away snap mistakes just take some pliers and take the smashed snap off. Try again!!

Step 1: Get out your hammer, Snap parts A and B. Mark the fabric where you want the snap.

Step 2: Punch a hole on the mark using the metal anvil and hole puncher.

Step 3: Place Part A’s post through the hole and put part B over Part A’s post. Place a piece of tissue over the metal anvil to cushion the snap as you hammer the two pieces together using the attaching tool. Hammer a few times and look at the post and snap cap to check to see how you are doing.

Step 4: Again make a mark on the fabric. Open the pouch, puncture a hole on the mark using the metal anvil and hole puncher.

Step 5: Place the metal anvil (raised side) inside the pouch, push part C’s post through the hole. Place Part D over Part C’s post. Underneath Part C should fit inside the metal anvil. On top tap Part C’s post down with the attaching tool and hammer.

Great tutorial! I got one of those pliers because every time I'd do it by hand, it'd look SO sloppy. I must not have your skill ;-)

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work. Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped key fobs with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template PDF. Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template. Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....

Veruca Salt Dress

Every year we perform a musical and one of the highlights for me as a theater mom and seamstress is I get to make costumes! I love sewing and when I can sew for a show or for a music reason it is awesome! This year was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and I was able to recreate Veruca's red dress. The first step is to find a sewing pattern that I can manipulate to look like what the character needs. I wanted to make the dress out of Pont de Roma fabric so it moved with the actress. Then I remembered the Marianne Dress by Christine Haynes , it is perfect because it also had a peter pan collar. The peter pan collar did have some issues. I did not want a t-shirt binding. Also, the back of the collar did not have a collar. I drafted a back collar piece and since the opening was not stretchy, I created a keyhole with a button and loop closure. I lengthened the sleeves and used the cuffs from the pattern for long sleeves. Next, we added the buttons! We al...
