The iPad 2 is here and has been in Mac stores since Friday! I want to buy one but the lines for the iPad 2 are insane! I did get to look at this one on display. I just happened to have my leather Sew Spoiled iPad Folding Case with me (wink;) and tried it on. I was worried about the 33% smaller iPad 2 not fitting snuggly into this case however my worries are over. It does fit. I do plan to take a closer look at the iPad 2 and the Sew Spoiled Folding Case and make a few updates. The iPad 2 has magnets set inside, this allows for the iPad to fall asleep when the case is closed. I plan to see about using this technology in my updated design and making a few other modifications.

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
