OK;) I am still working on this project!! These turned out so well I wanted to share:) I was sew blessed because it rained all day however the sun was shining through my sewing room window the entire time. I am looking forward to making one more little backpack for my littlest out of these fabrics. I bought the fabric from Fabric Supplies at Etsy online. It is Monaluna by Jennifer Moore and her About Town and Mingle Lines of designer fabric, from the beautiful Spring Colorway. I thought the colors for this time of year would be perfect!

If I had a little one to sew for, I'd just have to whip one of these up in traditional ladybug colors. They are truly adorable! I'd love to see it in black and red! Ellen

Those are great. They look a little complicated? Are they?

Either way they are adorable!

These are so incredibly adorable! Would you be at all interested in letting me post them on my site with a link - or at least a credit - to your blog? I totally understand if not, but just thought I'd ask. :)

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....

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...
