Sneak Peak!

This summer I am determined to write more sewing patterns. I have already created a few different styles of bags. For instance I took the Thirty One skirt cover and shaped it into a bag of it's very own. 
This is the skirt cover.
Here is the plain Jane version with beaded handles. I love the deep pockets. They are perfect for your cell phone, sunglasses, tissues, anything you need to get to quickly. 
After the plain jane version I tried another style the pocket hobo (I am not sure about it's name yet.). I am trying a few sizes and I think I am going to make many of them available in my Etsy shop. 
Here is another sneak peak at the pocket hobo style. There is so much to do. I like to start by drawing the templates and writing the instructions. Then I take a ton of pictures as I make the bag. Finally I put everything together to make the perfect sewing pattern.
If you are looking for a fun bag to make or iPad folding case please visit us at Sew Spoiled. The SEWSPOILED coupon code for 15% off is still good through June at Sew Spoiled Etsy Shop. Also I have paired a free epattern with each sewing pattern in my shop. Some of these patterns are retiring so pick them up while you can.
Happy Sewing!

You should make your version of the Thirty One skirt cover with pockets into an epattern. I like how you made it into a purse. Maybe do both in 1 pattern. Or is that what you are going to do, I can't tell.

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
