Sew Over It; Heather Dress #2

fullsizeoutput_1985fullsizeoutput_19b8
See I told you, after sewing Heather Dress #1, here is Heather Dress #2. This time I used a sweater knit fabric. It is so warm, comfortable and soft. Great for the wintery weather we are having in the south this year. Also, the pockets seem to perform better in this fabric choice.

Here is a close up of the pocket!

I again had a little extra fabric. So I made a knit pencil skirt. I just used a pencil skirt that I had in my closet as a pattern. Yay, I love getting a little extra fabric for one more design. This stretches my fabric wardrobe budget.

Piecing everything together can be fun and give you the boost you need to start sewing!

I love how easily this dress comes together. It looks professional but at the same time feels great. I can teach music and move around and look great all at the same time.

I have been looking at the heather dress pattern for a while, and while some of them look good, I was hesitating because a lot of them seem too clingy and the pocket appears too high. Yours however, is perfect, and the best one I have seen. !
I don't know if I can do as good a job, but at least it shows be what it looks like when it looks RIGHT! Thanks so much for the inspiration.

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....
