New Dress Sewing Patterns!

Look at these cute dresses! I can't wait to make them! I am so excited about making my own wardrobe this season. I am tried of wearing the same thing t-shirts and pants or jeans. I want to work on wearing a variety of beautiful handmade clothes. 
The Chelsea and Derby dress patterns were designed by Christine Haynes. 
She has the patterns on preorder right now!

I love the keyhole and peter pan collar on the Mis Mozelle Dress designed by Jamie Christina. You can find this dress and more at her Etsy shop.

This pattern is the Maxi dress by Pat Bravo. This looks like the perfect graduation dress. You could change the length and have a different style of dress too, short sundress.

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.

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 .

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!
