Weekend Sewing!

Sewing-Machine-Cover-2010-11-15-19-00.jpg
Here is one project I finished over the weekend. It was a spontaneous sewing adventure. It started by embroidering the fleece fabric with my Sew Spoiled Logo. Then I decided to use the embroidered fabric for a sewing machine cover cutting the fabric 25.5ā€X 15ā€. I embroidered the other side of the cover with the freeā€œBelieveā€ embroidery design from Swak embroidery. To tone down the green, I decided to bind the sides of the cover with red and make the ties with the same fabric.
I hope you had a great weekend!
Happy Sewing!

Great job! It turned out so cute!
Now I have an embroidery question: what software do you like to use? I want to start doing more, but the software is so pricey, I'm wary of taking the plunge. Know of any machine embroidery blogs out there?
Thanks! :)

Hi Elena!
I have to admit I have not taken the plunge either on embroidery software because the price. I do have a few places I like to go for free/sold designs...
http://www.annthegran.com/
http://freeembroiderystuff.embroiderydesigns.com/
and Swak embroidery.
If anyone else has an embroidery software program you recommend or know of other helpful websites for embroidery designs please share!
I have heard of embroidery forums that help digitalize designs too. Share what you know!

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!
