This is what my Mac looked like yesterday! My hard drive crashed and we had to wipe out the data and start over. Luckily I useTime Machine and all of my data was backed up. Since my computer was not working, I started on a few sewing projects.
Here are a few pictures....

This is a shoulder bag, I like the bottom curve or wave.
I am working on an entire collection with this wave theme!

Look at what I found at Jo Annā€™s! I love all of these adult patterns by ā€œLisetteā€ from Liesl Gibson of Oliver+S. I hope to have some extra time to make myself a few pieces from the ā€œLisetteā€ collection.
I love the skirt and dresses!

This is a nightgown tutorial that is fun, fast and easy to make. I am working on the diagrams for the templates.

You do need to know how to shirr and serge but there are ways around that too.
Stay tuned for more Sew Spoiled tutorials, patterns, giveaways and more!

Leah,
I used Timemachine once ; how often do you backup your data? May be something I need to do more often & consider important with my MBP. Love the quick, fast T-shirt projects.

Hi Ginger,
We were spared but there are so many families around us were not as fortunate. We watched on TV as two bands moved north and south of us.
TroyJennene,
After this weekend, I have started to backup every hour. :)
I heart Time Machine!

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!
