Meet the Cabrio Tote!

I loved all of the great names that you gave me! Thank you for responding!! I had no idea that everyone would be so interested in naming a new bag but you are right it is one of the most important steps in designing a new pattern! It was truly hard to pick just one but as soon as I read this comment, "That bag is fabulous! When I think of convertible I always think: "Cabriolet" or "Cabrio" for short. I had a VW Cabrio, LOVED that car!! =) This bag would have looked wonderful sitting in the passenger seat ;)", 
I knew that it was a perfect fit.
If Carrie Me would please email me at leah.sewspoiled@gmail.com I will gladly send you one Sew Spoiled Epattern free. If you want the Cabrio Tote epattern one you might have to wait a week or two. 
Thank you again for all of your help!

I am sorry I missed the contest, but I think the Cabrio is a primo name for this beautiful bag.

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

Every year we perform a musical and one of the highlights for me as a theater mom and seamstress is I get to make costumes! I love sewing and when I can sew for a show or for a music reason it is awesome! This year was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and I was able to recreate Veruca's red 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...
