Copyright??? Can I Sell bags I make from your Sew Spoiled Patterns?


Have you ever bought a pattern and as soon as you make one for yourself everyone you know wants one too?? Then you start to make more but you can't stop! The pattern is so much fun you want to make it all of the time? This is the moment you realize I could sell these and it would be a way to make a little extra money for my family. And who could not use a little extra cash in this day and age:)
All of this to say...
I am changing my Copyright!!!!
Sew Spoiled patterns content within the tutorial is copyrighted and can not be reproduced electronically or copied and distributed. However the finished product that you as a independent Home Seamstress produces can be sold in your shop, provided the pattern was purchased from an authorized dealer and you state in the description, "This is an original design by Leah Williams from her Sew Spoiled ________ pattern." Many shops that have asked for permission and are already doing this. Also many esty shops have linked my Sew Spoiled shop at Etsy, which I really appreciate too! All items for sale must be handmade by you. Contracting with others to mass produce the designs is expressly prohibited.

The pincushions are adorable! I collect and make pin cushions. I guess we are all obsessed about something. Your blog is very fun. I found it from Pink Chalk Fabrics which is also a great blog. Have a wonderful day!

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

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...
