New Tulip Blouse Sewing ePattern

If you have been looking for a new spring pattern,  this is for you. I first made this design last year when my husband took the kids out and left me at home to create whatever my heart desired. Within minutes I had sketched this blouse out and was sewing. It is a really quick project and I hope you enjoy it. 
I don't always have hours to spend sewing, so I adore short fast projects like this one that only take minutes to put together and looks like you have been to a boutique.
Here are some tips to help you with the Tulip Blouse.
* Brother machine shirring.
* Choose light to medium weight fabrics for this design.
*If you are not sure about the shape of your first blouse, baste stitch the shoulders and sides of the blouse panels and see if it fits.
Look for the kids size soon here at Sew Spoiled.

If you make a Tulip Blouse please show it off and post it at  your Sew Spoiled Project on Flickr! I can't wait to see your Tulip Blouses!

while I followed your posts on this great top I didn't have time to comment. Just wanted to let you know that I think this is such a great idea, I want to do one myself. I need to dig around in the stash find the right fabric.

I want to try out this tutorial. the scariest part for me, is finding the proper fabric to use. Only have a Joanns and Hobby Lobby. I just made my 1st skirt in XXX years and I'm not happy with my fabric choice. Any suggestions?

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....

Veruca Salt Dress

Every year we perform a musical and one of the highlights for me as a theater mom and seamstress is I get to make costumes! I love sewing and when I can sew for a show or for a music reason it is awesome! This year was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and I was able to recreate Veruca's red dress. The first step is to find a sewing pattern that I can manipulate to look like what the character needs.  I wanted to make the dress out of Pont de Roma fabric so it moved with the actress. Then I remembered the  Marianne Dress by Christine Haynes , it is perfect because it also had a peter pan collar. The peter pan collar did have some issues. I did not want a t-shirt binding. Also, the back of the collar did not have a collar. I drafted a back collar piece and since the opening was not stretchy, I created a keyhole with a button and loop closure. I lengthened the sleeves and used the cuffs from the pattern for long sleeves. Next, we added the buttons! We al...
