I adore pink and green together. She has a wonderful plan.

“The top green fabric will be the lower part of the outer shell. The pink will be the upper band on the outer shell. The next green will be for pockets. Finally, the cream and pink will be the interior.”

I can’t wait to see more!

“The brown is a corduroy for the top panel, bottom and straps, the flora is Lori Siebert’s, “Beauty in Nature" will be the main body and the orange and white for the lining. I eliminated the solid orange unless I decide to use it for the pockets undecided....”

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.
