The Ladybug, Tutorial available soon!


This is on my drawing board. It has been locked up in my brain for some time now and finally I was able to make it today!! I will start on the tutorial for my etsy shop soon. It is called the Ladybug. You can carry a cell phone, lipstick, and cards inside it and still have a little more room. If you have a pattern idea for a purpose in your life let me know. I would love the challenge:)

I have an idea in my head for a zippered pouch but can't find a pattern for what I'm looking for (you said you liked a challenge!). It's for a round pouch, with a zipper curving over the top, and a gusset. I want to be able to embellish it to look like a face or a hamburger. Can you do a pattern for that? i have lots of ideas for embellishing it - I just don't know how to make it lol.

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. We used a 1.5
