sewing bits...

TGIF!!!  So glad that this week has finally reached Friday :)


These little Post it note clip boards are fast,super easy,and best of all use up scraps!  These have been on one of my pinterest boards for a while.  They make a great inexpensive freebie,for my shop customers,or anyone else I need a quick gift for.  Of course just because is always the best reason ;)



My nice wanted to know if the clutches I sent could be minus the chain,so I made up another tester for her.  The first two will be going into my shop.  The coin purse I had made for my day on the UR Priceless Blog Hop,but had not attached the frame.


One set of pillow cases,I have fabric pulled for more,just need to sew them up.


I have also pulled some fabrics for more of these,covers for composition notebooks/journals.  Do you like my ladybug button closure?


Mom's Birthday gift this year...while visiting her in February,we got on the subject of pincushions.  She  was intrigued by the idea of the dress form pincushion for my FB swap partner.  Right then the decision was made to make and give her one of her very own.  Since she has only ever had one of those tomato pincushions.  Her favorite color is blue,and she loves flowers,so this was the perfect fabric scrap for her pincushion.

UR Priceless Coin purses (Blog Hop)

My day to show off my Uber Cute little coin purses has finally Arrived!  Have you been hopping along?  If not,you have missed out on the Sweetest little coin purses E V E R :)  Really i'm not kidding,go check them out,some of them are to die for Cute, Promise!

Before we get to my Cuteness tho,I need to give a couple shout outs ;)


A Gigantic Thank You to Madame Samme for thinking up this Blog Hop full of Cuteness,and for so generously giving each and every one of the participants a Free Pattern to make our coin purses from :)  You Rock Madame ;)


Also a Big Thank You to Katherine our Awesome CheerLeader,for organizing us and being there to answer any and Every question.  You also Rock Katherine ;)  You can find the Schedule for the entire Hop on Katherine's blog on the side bar.

Without further ado......



Frist up,a salute to fall,with butterflies,leaves and a sunflower button for embellishment.



A peek inside,the lining is made using the same fabrics,just in reverse order.


Purse number two is made from a scrap of decorator/upholstery fabric.  I used hand quilting thread to sew the frames to the purses.  I tried to use colors that coordinated with the colors in the fabrics and also the frames.

I was hoping to get a little more of the lady on the backside,but it was not to be.  I forgot to give you a peek inside of this one :(  It is a Essex Linen that matches the taupe color in the outside print.


My third little cutie,you know I had to make a sunflower one,right? ;)  Well here she is,the sides of this one are made with a pale yellow batik sunflower print,which matches perfectly.  Although you can't really see the sunflowers,I know they are there :)


The lining used for this one is a deep purple with gold butterflies allover!  Although I was very nervous to make my first one of these,I quickly got over that!  The tutorial that Madame Samm made for us was super easy to follow,and she was quick to answer questions :)  The only problem I had was keeping the frame centered on the purse while sewing.  Once I figured that out it was smooth sailing.


For my last one I used a Kokopelli/pottery print fabric.  Kokopelli is a Big favorite of mine :)  The sides are a coordinating South Western Print in Turquoise.


Here are all of my little pretties together,in random order.



Bottoms up ;)  If you have not yet had the opportunity to make a coin purse,you don't know what you have been missing!  Let me just say,after making one,the bug has bitten!  They are quite addicting,I was seeing these in so many of the prints in my stash....  if it were not for the fact that I only had four frames..... I Need to Buy More Frames ASAP!!!

I intended to have a Giveaway too,however I forgot to contact Madame Samm about purchasing the pattern,and then having her send it to the winners :(  So  I will still be having the giveaway,and will work out the details with Madame Samm.

For a chance to win a PDF Pattern for these Uber cute Coin purses just leave me a comment below,any ole comment will do ;)  However Please let me know in your comment,if you are in the USA or International.  As I plan to give one Pattern to someone in the USA and one to someone who lives outside the USA.  Thanks for stopping in to check out my Precious ;)

I will post the Winners on Wednesday the 14th...Good Luck Peeps!
