Vacation!

My hubby and I had a weekend getaway! It was wonderful! We have not been on a vacation trip together since the girls were born. We spent the entire weekend in the mountains and it was beautiful! The crisp mountain air, leaves beginning to turn and art festivals made our trip perfect. Here are some pictures from our weekend getaway!

Have you ever gone on a weekend getaway? Where did you go and what was the best part of your trip?

This past spring I went to the mountains by myself for a weekend. The best parts were a huge comfy bed to myself, and a deelish ice cream sundae, all for me.

while I can't call my trip this week-end a vacation, it was a much needed day trip. We sent to WVA to ride a 100 year old train. Scenery was beautiful, leaves just thinking about turning and met some lovely people who shared interest in old locomotives. My sewing sat waiting at home for an inspired me to return and get back to work!

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...
