Sew Spoiled Fun!

I have made a few updates to this pattern. If you bought the Sew Spoiled Cabrio Tote through my Etsy shop you should have received the updated version through email. If you have not received it please feel free to email me at leah.sewspoiled@gmail.com and remember to state the transaction #. I will gladly send the update to you. YCMT and Above All Fabric has the updated version as well! 
After making a beautiful Cabrio Tote in Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane I found a few things that needed to be updated within the pattern. I love that epatterns are every easy to update and modify. 
We could work on the Weekender tote together and send pictures of our work at different stages! At the end we could share how we are using our Sew Spoiled Weekender Tote! (gift, business bag, diaper bag, traveler bag) Also some of you might even find ways to modify the Weekender and I would love to hear how you did it!
So if you are interested in a Weekender Sew Along make a post! Let me know! 
Even if you have already made one you are more than welcome to join in the fun!
The more the Better!
Happy Sewing!

I'm in for a sew along! I absolutely love this bag but haven't found the right fabric for it yet. This would put my butt in gear to make one!

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 .

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...
