Simplicity contacted me in February to ask if they could use some of my Ladybug designs in the spring 2012 catalog. I read through the contract and said yes! The next stage was looking for fabric. It sounds so easy! I get buy fabric for 5 bags how hard can that be. Right! It was honestly the hardest part of the process. I searched high and low. When I saw these bright pink and green combo, I loved it (love pink and green) but there was not enough! So I kept looking.

Finally, I found these prints in a local fabric store, Elegant Stitches! I love Elegant Stitches! They carry all of the latest prints and there personnel are extremely helpful!

It is called a Dab of Jazz by Gail Fountain and Maywood Studios. I love how bright and airy it looks and feels. These are all of the colors here in North Carolina in the spring. I hope Simplicity will like them as well!

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....
