Teaching my kids the value of homemade inspires me to sew. I love that they understand the hard work that goes into making something from scratch!

What cute patterns! I just took advantage of the BOGO offer and ordered the reversible tunic pattern and the relaxed beach shirt.
I love the process of taking a piece of fabric and making it into something wearable or usable and the satisfaction that brings--that is what inspires me to sew. Along with being able to make unique things that nobody else has.
Thanks for the giveaway!

My kids inspire me to sew! I had always wanted to learn but it wasn't until my oldest daughter was born that I really started to try, and then when my second was born I started taking classes and really buckling down.

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. We used a 1.5
