Village Frock Finished!

Yeah! I bought more fabric and finish it last night! This picture was taken this morning in the rush to school but she is adorable. I am so excited that it turned out so lovely. The templates I used were from free tutorial by Simply Together. The translated version of Mizoal and Kleinerkarl’s Village Frock tutorial helped me piece together how to make the Village Frock. (Thank you Olga for your post!) The pictures from the Sugar City Dresses Flickr Group gave me the inspiration to continue to the end! I should receive the true Village Frock pattern from someone in New Zealand! I am still excited. I love reading patterns because there are so many ways to get the same result. Can’t wait to see how it was written.

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....

After you find an A-line skirt pattern , I am using One Yard Wonders 101 template . Make a muslin of your skirt! It only takes a few minutes to make a muslin version.
