CHIC KIMONO from ManiMina

I bought this epattern from Mani Mina on Etsy. If you have not seen her shop you should check it out! Super cute kid patterns. This pattern was easy to print out, cut and sew! I love making anything for my girls. They are so little, so it doesn't take much fabric to make them something fun and cute. I wish they had this pattern in Mommy size but I have not found it yet! 
Happy Sewing!

Did you have any problems with the hood and the back being "pulled"? I just bought this pattern and LOVE all her patterns but this one I had trouble with the end result. I am wondering if I did something wrong. I think her patterns are great for beginners as well as those of us who sew alot!!!!

You are right the hood did pull a little but if you wrapped your little one tight with the two front panels it is not so bad. :) My girls love wearing these!

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
