Sew Spoiled Mail!

Today I wanted to share an email I received yesterday. It made my whole day, week, year!...
"Hi Leah!

I bought this pattern a few months ago because I'm planning on making purses for my bridesmaids to carry instead of flowers. My mom is helping me out (since she's the one with a sewing machine) and she had a chance to make a prototype last week and it turned out GREAT! My mom is not a professional sewer, but she said the instructions were easy enough to follow and the pictures helped a lot. I can't wait to go pick out the fabric for the official purses and get them sewn. 

Thanks for the great pattern!

Kerri Ann"

Thank you so much Kerri Ann for writing to me. You are right! If you are about to get married the Sew Spoiled Wristlet is an adorable bridesmaids gift! You can personalize it and even match your colors of your wedding! You can also print labels with printable fabric and place your names and date of the wedding inside the wristlets! Here is 5 different ways to make labels!
**If you are a bag maker you might want to offer Sew Spoiled Wristlets as a bridesmaids gift. The Ladybug Mini Purse is another cute bag to offer as a bridesmaids gift. Etsy has a special section for Wedding items! You could offer fabric swatches for them to choose from and make them personalized for their day!
I am so happy for you Kerri Ann and don't forget Pictures! If you have a great way to use a Sew Spoiled Pattern email me at leah.sewspoiled@gmail.com. I would love to share it!
Best Wishes,
~Leah

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...
