Happy Birthday! (to me...) Cha, Cha, Cha:)


Sorry, I have not written in a week. We have been celebrating birthdays!!! Mine was last week and my oldest turned 6 over the weekend!!! We were royally spoiled! The best part was seeing our family and being together. The worst part is that we still have birthday cake and I don't seem to have enough will power to throw it away!
What is new with Sew Spoiled? Now you can shop at Pink Chalk Fabrics and buy Sew Spoiled Epatterns there too. I am so glad that Kathy Mack, from Pink Chalk Studio, is carrying Sew Spoiled Designs! She has a beautiful selection of deisgner fabrics to choose from and now you can buy Sew Spoiled patterns all at the same place!

Happy Birthday. I'm pretty sure your blog has just became my favorite ever. I'm excited to see that your patterns are @ pink chalk studio. I bought my first handbag pattern from them which has led me to where I am now with a bag addiction :) Thanks so much. We love the Weekend bag we made. It's not perfect so I need to try again until it's pretty darn close but once it is and my husband has a job we have a few more patterns we will be trying ie the wallet, & diaperbag. YAY!

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....

How to Line an A-Line Skirt Tutorial

 After you find an A-line skirt pattern , I am using  One Yard Wonders 101  template . Make a muslin of your skirt! It only takes a few minutes to make a muslin version.
