Embroidery Dream Machine

I woke up this morning thinking about the specs I would like my new embroidery machine to have.

Color LCD screen
Large hoop sizes
Easy to use software

Later as I was reading the news on my iPad, I realized the machine I want to buy has not been invented yet. Why not incorporate the iPad into the sew/ embroidery machine!!! I looked it up to see if anyone else had this brain wave and yes, someone had. I know this picture below is from an April Fools post but I love this idea!!! I know I am not alone. They should make these now with the small iPad in the 7" size. It would be perfect!!!! An app could be created to help with sewing projects, ePatterns or embroidery designs! If anyone is making these iPad sewing machines and the company needs a seamstress representative to show it off, I gladly volunteer! Please hire me!

Would you buy one? I know I would.

That would be awesome. Remember the old Singer (I think) that worked on a game boy?

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. We used a 1.5
