The Sew Spoiled Suitable Tote

This is my next adventure! I love this bag. I have made 5 Suitable Totes for friends and family and one for myself. I love that I can dress up or down and it still looks great on my arm. There is one right now in my Etsy shop! I can't tell you how many people have asked, "Where did you buy your Tote?" For those of you who may not sew this is a great opportunity to Sew Spoil yourself. I will only be making a hand full of these and placing them in my shop. Each will be unique and special and of course have the Sew Spoiled tag! They are only $35, which is a great price for a one of a kind, limited edition, Sew Spoiled Tote. One more thing, each will also have a special gift inside!
Happily Spoiled!

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
