āœ„------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I have been baby crazy!!! Not because I am pregnant (Not pregnant!) but because I am making so many gifts for babies lately.
It all started with the Sew Spoiled Ladybug Diaper Bag (available soon in my Etsy Store)..
Then the Diaper Wipe travel case and now my new favorite is the Bit of Whimsy Dolls!! Have you seen these ePatterns??? They are available on Etsy, in their shop called Bit of Whimsy Prims. I love Sarah's easy to follow instructions and pictures. If you are still unsure if you can follow their patterns, they even have parts of their different doll patterns available for you to watch on You Tube! (I think I was most impressed by this because I am thinking about videoing different Ladybug pattern steps.) I love great finds and I can never have too many wonderful epatterns!
Happy Sewing!

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....

Cute as a Button Bookmark Tutorial

These are called Cute as a Button Bookmakers. They are cheap, easy to make and are wonderful gifts!  All you need is  Bookmarkers/ PaperClips Size 45 or 1 1/8" Button Covers and kit Glue Gun Pliers (which you won't need if you get the flat back buttons). Step 1: Make a few fabric covered buttons.  These are size 45 or 1 1/8" buttons. Step 2: If you use normal buttons you will need to take the loops off to make them flat. However you can buy flat back buttons and not have to worry about the loop. Step 3: Add a dab of hot glue to the top of the large paperclip pad and place your fabric button on top of the glue. Step 4: Let it cool and it's ready to use! Happy Crafting!
