Gift Giving Idea

Hi sewers and non-sewers alike!

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Today I have a gift giving idea for you.

How about a personalized leather luggage tag?

It opens up to reveal your contact information

- or -

you could simply insert your business card

I would be glad to embroider the back for you 

instead of, or in addition to, the front

The tag is gray

and I offer a number of beautiful thread colors from which to choose

(check it out in my shop)

If you are in the U.S., order by December 12 and it will arrive in time

for Christmas

If you are local (in Utah), order by December 20, and I will have it ready for your

Christmas gift giving

And,

I'm giving free shipping on orders placed through Midnight (U.S. Mountain Time)

November 28, 2016

Details are listed in the announcement section of my shop

Yay, Cyber Monday!!!

Thanks for visiting, my friends!

Enjoy these last few days of November

 

Train Case

Hi Sewing Friends!

Here's a peek at a Christmas gift

for one of my grandchildren

The pattern is by Sew Sweetness

there are three size train case patterns included

This is the medium size

The instructions are pretty straight forward

If you are an intermediate to advanced sewer,

you shouldn't have any difficulty with this one

I used straight-line quilting

to hold the foam between the fabric layers

on the body and top of the case

The back tab that joins the ends of the double pull zipper

allows the lid to be "hinged"

The double pull zippers are available in my Etsy Shop

The inside features a zipper pocket in the lid

and I chose to embroider my grandson's name as well

The embroidery font is from Willow Embroidery Etsy shop

Looking down inside the case,

you can see all the handy little pockets

that line the interior

They're great for those small objects

that might otherwise get lost

There's also plenty of open space to add larger objects

These train cases aren't just for children

In the right fabric, they would be

beautiful gifts for brides/bridesmaids, best friends, or yourself

What a perfect baby shower gift they would be

filled with baby-themed supplies such as

small-size lotion and powder, diapers, burp cloths, etc.

 If yo would like to chat,

I would welcome your comments

Are you sewing any gifts this year?

Have any excellent sewing week

Electronic Device Cases

Hello, hello, sewing friends!

Wow!  Is that sensory overload, or what?

Those big, bold, beautiful prints and colors are from #Tula Pink's collections:

Eden, Chipper, and Slow and Steady

I love how all her lines of fabric work so well together

This is the pattern I used for these beauties

It is a #byAnniepatterns and it is very well written and easy to follow

It also sews up rather quickly

All in all, a satisfying sew

The pattern includes tablet cases in two sizes

One to fit small readers and tablets

Such as #iPad mini, #Kindle Fire, #NookTablet, etc.

And one to fit the larger tablets

Such as iPad, #Samsung Galaxy Tab, and similar size devices 

My finished outside dimensions (with the flap closed as pictured above) are:

Small - 10" wide x 6.25" tall

Large - 11.75" wide x 8.5" tall

The back of the case has a nice, padded zipper pocket for all your personal items

 Hook and loop tape makes it easy to open and close

 Devices without another cover will fit inside,

 

but if you have an iPad with one of the iPad magnetic covers,

it will fit as well

So there ya' go,

A quick, easy, professional looking gift

for someone on your Christmas or Birthday list

Or just for you!

Have a productive, fun sewing week.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

I enjoy your company
