I love going to Etsy and finding things that you can not buy anywhere else. That was just the case when I stumbled upon PinkRoses1220's shop. I first noticed the adorable clothes for children and then realized the pattern for the Afternoon Tea Jacket was available in both adult and kid sizes!!! I got so excited that I bought it quickly. I will tell you that the pattern is the templates alone. The instructions are not available with the pattern. If you need any help I don't mind sharing the order of how to sew the pattern together. I also spoke to Lisa the Etsy store owner, whom is extremely nice, and she said that she was only selling a few patterns to the public. Her shop is having a huge sale so go check it out!! The jacket is not lined, so for this project a serger is a great machine to use. The fabric find was located at Material Girl Shoppe.
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....
