Sew Spoiled in Sew Simple Magazine!!

Some of you have asked if this was one of my patterns on page 9 of Sew Simple Magazine. Yes!!! I was asked to write a pattern for the magazine back in the fall of 2008 and it will be in the June issue, Vol. 13. It is a great pattern! Very simple, Looks Great and is Super Roomy!!! It is perfect for all of your summer trips! Not to mention you could make any of the other Ladybug Patterns including the Sew Spoiled Ladybug Backpack which is coming out soon! Make sure you pick up a Sew Simple magazine next month before you go to the pool or take a beach trip. You might just want to make yourself one of these so you can feel Sew Spoiled this Summer!!! Happy Sewing!

Congratulations! I own several of your bag patterns and love them. This one looks great too! Do you perhaps know where I can buy the Sew Simple magazine online other than Sewingdistrict themselves? I have ordered 3 magazines from then since November 2008 and have not received any yet despite many (expensive) phone calls from South Africa and countless e-mails. Last night I found a site that mentioned CK Media is in financial trouble and the comments from many ladies who contributed and were never paid since 2008 was shocking!

Hi Pinktulip,
I am glad you enjoy Sew Spoiled Designs! I was able to find the Sew Simple magazine at Amazon.com. So you might want to try there? I have heard that the magazine is going through some hard times. The concept of the Magazine is a wonderful one, introducing easy designs to people who are new to sewing, that is why I wanted to contribute to Sew Simple. Thanks for your post. Best Wishes!

I was so glad to find you blog. I saw that this pattern would be available in Sew Simple Volume 13 in June, but now it is the end of July and the magazine is nowhere in sight. There is also no mention of when it will come out on their website. Is there another way to get the pattern? The bag is just too cute! I would appreciate any info you can provide.
Thank you!

I recently found out that Sew Simple Magazine has ceased to be published (through the end of this year). Therefore the Weekender Travel Tote will not be in this month's issue of Sew Simple Magazine. However, after talking to the editor, I decided to publish the pattern on my own and it is available at www.sewspoiled.etsy.com. You can also go to my shop my clicking on the Weekender Tote pattern on the right side bar.
Thanks!

Oh I am so sorry to hear it has been discontinued, it is my all time favorite sewing magazine and I own them all, except the very first issue (still looking for that one) :)

Can't believe it is being discontinued!

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....

Cute as a Button Bookmark Tutorial

These are called Cute as a Button Bookmakers. They are cheap, easy to make and are wonderful gifts!  All you need is  Bookmarkers/ PaperClips Size 45 or 1 1/8" Button Covers and kit Glue Gun Pliers (which you won't need if you get the flat back buttons). Step 1: Make a few fabric covered buttons.  These are size 45 or 1 1/8" buttons. Step 2: If you use normal buttons you will need to take the loops off to make them flat. However you can buy flat back buttons and not have to worry about the loop. Step 3: Add a dab of hot glue to the top of the large paperclip pad and place your fabric button on top of the glue. Step 4: Let it cool and it's ready to use! Happy Crafting!
