Sew Spoiled really is Spoiled

 This is my new embroidery machine! It is the Brother PE-770. I was shocked! We had Christmas with the girls at home and after went to my husband's parents to see them for Christmas. At the very end of all the gifts, there was one more under the tree. I thought it was for Nana or someone else. I was completely surprised that it was for me, then I started to take the paper off and saw Brother Embroidery Machine across the box! I think I screamed and cried a little. I felt like a kid getting the one toy they had asked from Santa. 
This is the first project I made with my new machine! It is called the Two Zipper Hipster from Erin Erickson of Dog under my Desk. I love how Erin takes you through the zipper installation. Her site Dog Under My Desk is dog on cute and filled with sewing tips and tutorials. 
Great size to carry just enough stuff! and you can even make a larger size if you want to use it for your tablet.
I couldn't help myself, I made 3 more for friends and family.
My embroidery machine did such a great job! I love the 5"X 7" hoop size. I am still shocked that I have this new machine sitting out my sewing table. Can't wait to share more projects with you.

Wow! Someone has been a good girl! I received a spinning wheel! Same as you, totally shocked . . . .I think it is going to take a little longer though before I post any projects from that though, as I need some classes first!

Love the bags as well - it is so lovely to see them personalised!

I love these bags! I got this machine for Christmas as well and have been trying to figure out what software to buy. What do you use to create your monograms?

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...
