I love this fabric, it is called Star Flower Tiles from Amy Butler’s Nigella Collection. Early this week on Amy Butler’s Facebook page she asked what was our favorite collection from her fabrics. My favorite is the Nigella Collection!

I think it is great that Jo now has a beautiful customized laptop sleeve. You do realize Jo, you will be asked to make more of these for friends. LOL
Great Job! Thank you for sharing. If you know how to access Flickr please join our Flickr group, Flickr: your Sew Spoiled projects! If you want to email me at leah.sewspoiled@gmail.com like Jo did, I will gladly share them too.

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 .)
