Recycle and Reuse!

I recently received some suits that were on my husband's side of the closet. I did not look at them as suits at all. To me the fabric had done it's duty and now it was time for it to have a little fun! Each suit was a dark color navy with pinstripes, charcoal and black with pinstripes. I found bright fabrics to match like this Amy Butler print Pressed Flowers in Turquoise and white with a white paisley design and patch worked it together. Now my Sew Spoiled Ladybug Mini purse looks classy and sharp.

Kiss Lock Purse:)

All done! I love how it turned out!

Here is the half way point the first side is tucked in but the second is not yet. The second side is much easier than the first. During the first side I did not have enough glue, I was afraid that it would get all over the fabric, but I applied more and it worked like a dream.

I would highly recommend trying this fun project!

I am soooo excited about this project! I found this incredible kit at, you guessed it Etsy!!! At the Cotton Dream Shop you can buy this kit. You receive everything in the picture the pattern, fabric, kiss lock clasp and even interfacing. The only thing you will need that is not in this picture or kit is heavy duty fabric glue and for that I wented to Lisa at UHandbag. She is great check out her blog if you haven't already:)
This will be my first attempt at a kiss lock clasp and this is the first type of purse that I remember falling in love with!!! I was only 5 and late for a ballet/ tap class. My mother had forgot that we needed to bring "props" for dance class and so we stopped at my Great- Grandmother's house. Grandma was awesome! Not only could she sew but in her closet were wonderful dress up clothes and jewelry! She let me borrow a Kiss lock clasp purse to take to tap class that day. It was the most beautiful purse I had/have ever seen! It was a small, ivory bag, draped with Sequins and jewels. I remember feeling so grown up! Of course to top off the outfit I also borrowed Grandpa's fishing hat, hooks and all. :) (Well I thought I looked great! LOL) I know this bag won't be as beautiful but every time I look at it I will think about my special memory.
Happy Sewing!

Rainy Day Dollies, Family Fun!

Sew Spoiled Fabric Doll

Today was a rainy day so my daughters and I were stuck inside. My 5 year old, knew she wanted to make something with her hands but what?? We looked in my fabric stash and found fabric markers and printable fabric paper. At this point My 2 year old, got excited!!! I downloaded a few coloring sheets and in no time we were coloring! I pinned the printable fabric to whatever fabric they wanted and used their help to sew around the coloring sheet. (Advice find coloring sheets with simple shapes or just sew a rectangle or circle around the drawing.) We cut the excess fabric and filled the dolls with poly-fil. My girls loved this part! We finally slip stitched the project closed. After tea parties and dancing with princesses our dollies were tire so we put them to bed! I love rainy days!
I hope wherever you are you are enjoying time with your families!
Happy Sewing!

Bedroom Decal from Dali Decals

Bedroom Decal from Dali Decals

My husband and I have been upgrading our master bed room. I wish I had a before picture but honestly I probably would not post it because it looked so plain. White walls, white blinds, little pictures hanging and old furniture. Yuck! So we painted the walls, put up sheer curtains, bought new lamps and this silver vinyl decal. It measures approximately 75" wide by 22" high! I found it at Etsy at Dali Decals!! David and Alicia are the store owners of Dali Decals located in Asheville, NC. They make vinyl graphics and decals for your home. I ordered this headboard print June 29 and received it yesterday! I love great finds. Now this gives us a little more time to find the perfect bedroom suit. Since we are having a hard time deciding on what type of furniture to buy. Maybe you can help! What kind of bedroom furniture would you buy??? Where is a great place to find bedroom sets?
