Dear My Kids Stylish Coat Pattern

Screenshot2010-10-10at9.12.23AM-2010-10-10-09-11.png
Well, I feel like I am a little behind with the Dear My Kids Peter Pan Collar Coat project because after I purchased the pattern this weekend, I found that last month there was a sew-along for this jacket at From the Igloo. At least now I can read about the whole process.

The corduroy will be for the outer shell and cotton will be for the lining. The blue is for my oldest (the penguin) and the pink is for my youngest (the princess). This coat looks perfect for the fall! The fair is in town, festivals are popping up everywhere and with all of the outside activities these coats will be wonderful in the cooler weather. This lazy Sunday afternoon sewing in my sewing room with the windows open to the fresh fall air sounds wonderful!
Happy Sewing!

I participated in the From an Igloo Sew Along and completed one coat so far. I still need to make the second one. The explanation on From an Igloo really helped me a lot. I ended up making the size 8 for my big 5 year olds. The length of the coat is great. The sleeves are long but it is nice to roll them up anyway to see the lining. The only word of warning I would give is that the fit is a little tight in the chest and armhole area. Have fun making yours and I can't wait to see them.

They are so cute...Do you have any idea how much of each fabric will I need to make a size kinda in between 2T-3T? also where do you guys get your fabrics from? I mean I'm not one who sews very frequently, but love to...so I can't bulk order. but the JoAnn near me does not carry such variant bright fabrics. Online ones have quite a lot for shipping :-(

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....

Cute as a Button Bookmark Tutorial

These are called Cute as a Button Bookmakers. They are cheap, easy to make and are wonderful gifts!  All you need is  Bookmarkers/ PaperClips Size 45 or 1 1/8" Button Covers and kit Glue Gun Pliers (which you won't need if you get the flat back buttons). Step 1: Make a few fabric covered buttons.  These are size 45 or 1 1/8" buttons. Step 2: If you use normal buttons you will need to take the loops off to make them flat. However you can buy flat back buttons and not have to worry about the loop. Step 3: Add a dab of hot glue to the top of the large paperclip pad and place your fabric button on top of the glue. Step 4: Let it cool and it's ready to use! Happy Crafting!
