<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Since today is the first day of the year it is only fitting that i go into a little review of the last don't you think? We all chatted about our goals and such last night, but really did i want to tell them everything? um. no. So I sat down and thought about it a bit----but,<br />
Before getting myself to peg down a few new goals for the year of 2010 I will review last years. Not sure how this is going to turn out.<br />
<br />
Here I go in some attempt to make plans for the future. The year of 2009.<br />
<br />
* Have my items in a few places for sale. Whether that be a store, boutique, market..whatever. Give it a go.<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">I did this!!! Art Market is my favorite and I will definitly keep that one going. I might give a few new ones this year a try too.</span><br />
* Make more from my scraps. --i have a heavy heart when i take the trash out and there are some scraps in there that i really could use in a small quilt...or something.<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">I really tried hard on this one. My stash is dwindling a bit and i will continue the effort.</span><br />
* Be more consistent with the kids with music lessons.<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">Did this---ok. maybe i didn't start until August, but i did start!!</span><br />
* Make my patterns i have a bit more professional. I am currently working on this. Thank you Tiffany.<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">I did this! I didn't do anything fancy, but i did make them all one file to download. yay.</span><br />
* Go to a quilt market again. (Went in 2007- good year) Either one would be good. Spring or Houston. Maybe even catch up with a few new bloggers who will be there selling.<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">WWAAAAA.....didn't get to do this. I did go to HMQS, but not the other biggies.</span><br />
* Loose another 10 pounds. That's what i lost last year....wouldn't mind a re-peat. but not with the same pounds.<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">I am so NOT a looser! I must try this again.</span><br />
* Be more giving with my quilts. Why am i such a quilt hog? I really do have enough. I need to learn how to share--again.<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">I did this sparingly. I could have done more.</span><br />
* Keep a cleaner house. Really this should say---change my attitude about cleaning my house. enough said.<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">Whatever. this is always on the dockett of things to do.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Overall I think i did ok!! What a relief! </span><br />
So to keep in the spirit of making new resolutions for this 2010 year---let's see what i can do:<br />
* Have one quilt in an official quilt show. Not just a group showing {i do that already}, but in a bigger show. oh, hey does the <a href="http://whosies.blogspot.com/2009/09/keeping-it-pg.html">'O' Quilt</a> count? ok. I won't count that one. So i need 2 in a show this year. Pressures on.<br />
<br />
* Loose some weight. Notice there is no number here. I must try and do something girls!!! something.<br />
<br />
* Continue to Build <a href="http://patchworkposse.com/">Patchwork Posse</a>. I am so excited!!! Starts in 4 days!!<br />
<br />
* Be more excited about cooking. Now, i love to make bread, but dinner....i have a hard time with that one. I need to expand my recipe collection of easy nutritious things to a little more fancier. think outside of the box. but i really don't use the box too often now...hmmm<br />
<br />
* Go outside more! Lately I have been staying inside a bit much. I need to venture out of doors more often. I am sure that will help another goal further up on the list too :)<br />
<br />
* Keep in touch better with friends that are far away. <br />
<br />
If i think of anything else i will add to the list. Today, they seem very do-able. Later on in the year.....somehow they loose their luster and get lost in life. We'll see what I can do. wish me luck! <br />
<br />
How about you girls? Make any new goals? Resolutions? Share it if you want.<br />
<br />
Today- I just might be doing this little <a href="http://www.planetpatchwork.com/Mystery129/default.htm">mystery</a>. Looks tempting.<br />
<br />
A few of you have noticed that the poll has dissapeared from the side bar. Well, the year is over and according to the polls---One Yard Wonders has won!!!! yay!! I am excited for this one! So because of that----I need some help. I can't sew everything nor do i want to.....so<br />

<br />
That's right--FREE!!!! So there are 10 days--and there will be 10 winners! I am soooo excited girls.<br />
<br />
Shall we talk <strong>schedules</strong> today? Sure!!! Everyone wants to know when, where, how don't they?<br />
<br />
Postings will be scattered during the first week of the month. This will make it so you aren't bombarded with a bunch of stuff and then overwhelmed and then you don't do anything! I figure this will make it easier on you and me too! I will know exactly when things need to be scheduled and on because you are waiting there with drumming fingers on the countertops! hee hee<br />
<br />
So here ya go:<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">1st Monday of the month------</span></strong>interview and project by the designer. All supply lists, tutorials, pictures and anything else needed will be posted on this day. I am sooo excited for this one. I talked about it yesterday. Won't it be just wonderful?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>1st Wednesday of the month-----</strong></span>Block of the Month pattern and tutorial. The first post in January is of course a supply list, then each month after that will be 2 new blocks! Cute stuff---believe me!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>1st Friday of the month-----</strong></span>show and tell postings and links. This one is for everyone to participate in! If you have finished, worked on, posted or flickred it....send me the links and i'll share it! I love this part- it is sooo inspirational and fun to see what everyone does. We all do the same things---we just do it in our own way.<br />
<br />

</div>That's right--FREE!!!! So there are 10 days--and there will be 10 winners! I am soooo excited girls.<br />
<br />
Let's find out who are the top notch designers today...shall we? <br />
Each month there will be an interview with the designer that will be joining us. They will give us a little insight in their life and their crafty hobby. I love these don't you? I always like to find out 'secret' things about others---ok, fine I am a snooper...like you didn't already know that. anywhosies. <br />
After their interview they will share with use the topic of conversation for the month. Every little hint, tip and suggestion is helpful to us crafty girls! I am always reading blogs, following links, and picking up new books constantly to keep up on the new stuff and get better at the old stuff. I love finding out what their technique is and how they do it just a bit different---sometimes we just don't get how to do it one way, but change it up a bit and voila! it is our next passion. I love it when that happens. So Patchwork Posse is here to help it happen to you!! <br />
And last, but definitly not least---a project!!! I can't help myself but to share new things! I have learned this the last 1 1/2 years with the blog---sharing makes you happy!! Try it, it does......<br />
<br />
So there will be at least 14 NEW and EXCLUSIVE to patchwork posse PATTERNS & PROJECTS!!! yay!!! I am so excited for these! They are very diverse and aren't strictly quilting either. There are bags, pincushions, quilts, table runners, aprons, hot pads, the list goes on....and even a bit of embroidery too! It dibbles and dabbles in different sewing areas---to help you out of your comfortable zone or rutt. Fills your mind with inspiration and a positive flow of sewing energy! sounds very green doesn't it? <br />
So here they are--the designers:<br />

<br />
Let me tell you a bit about the membership if you choose to come join me and the rest of the posse. Right now the membership is $40.00 for the whole year. {price will be rising in Februay} That includes everything, and is a one time fee. That's it. I have counted how many patterns and it is over 14! Wow!! There is definitly enough to pick and choose or do them all!!! hee hee And all the patterns are provided by top-notch designers 4 months before they are released to the public! I love that!!! It's like we are a secret pattern society......or posse. <br />
<br />
Now enough about money---how will patchwork posse work for me? Well, I find it hard sometimes to find the time to attend my local quilt/sewing groups on a monthly basis. We are busy people girls aren't we? sometimes there are others {family} who take priority and over rule us running out the door to surround ourselves with others with the same interestes and hobbies. This is where <a href="http://patchworkposse.com/">Patchwork Posse</a> comes in.<br />
It is a customizable sewing group!! Each month there will something wonderful happening there. There will be projects, interviews with designers, and patterns that are made specifically for the group and are not available to the public!!! Everything there is done at your own pace, at your own time and in your own home! Do you want to see what kinds of things we will be doing? <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyvkM3ENpxLikyeJwBMRp0haWZyEsn1eEO_3xg9hF-FtmsR29a7a0Wl_kIfLLyTy0XkExXd2cm6hN3GBYZq8ZXq9Gh6WEAkMjixiK984WNTWBe7Ouhg8Ohh-tSCXAwx800WP5GSxlIeaQ/s1600-h/button.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyvkM3ENpxLikyeJwBMRp0haWZyEsn1eEO_3xg9hF-FtmsR29a7a0Wl_kIfLLyTy0XkExXd2cm6hN3GBYZq8ZXq9Gh6WEAkMjixiK984WNTWBe7Ouhg8Ohh-tSCXAwx800WP5GSxlIeaQ/s640/button.JPG" /></a><br />

I of course need to blab on about everything..so hold on for a moment and stick with me! <br />
I decided back in October to do an Online Sewing Group ~~~Patchwork Posse~~~ It has taken me this long with MANY helpers to get this thing on track. I am so greatful and thankful for them all!!! Boy, it is a lot of work from idea to actually having it ready! There has been many a tears, screaming, tossing and turning- at night mostly, phone chats, and staring at the computer screen....and staring...and staring. I think though that i have it done! can you believe? I wouldn't except it is Christmas time and we all 'believe' don't we? <br />
<br />
With the new website- patchwork posse--comes a little delima. should i stay or should i go now?!! That would be the blog. not leaving...never to post again.... but leaving to be next to the site and not be in blogger any more. .......so i decided. i need to move---but don't you worry your little hearts girls, I will still post and blab on and on, and share secrets, patterns and all the other good stuff that floats into the mind. <br />
<br />
Sooooo the new location of the blog will be: <br />
<a href="http://patchworkposse.com/blog">http://patchworkposse.com/blog</a><br />
It isn't that difficult is it? I will leave this bad girl up for a long time with a director to the new site. Of course everything will be uploaded and ready for you perousing on the 4th. Nothing will be lost. Nothing. It might take awhile for some of you to catch on and move on over.....we'll be there when you do! <br />
<br />
So that is your little bit of info for today! More tomorrow! Aren't you so excited to listen to new stuff? Well, i'm excited to share it! So i'll be giving you little bits along our winning way!!!! <br />
<br />
Without blabbing a ton more let's get to the rules for winning things shall we? <br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinwH1XrAy_tHG2Sd1NsnucBsQ-uLjW7y-Wq4R7H3doMGM_5MSFeiPzeKtbam4W1TTmvnwEbOMff0QZ86MAsbZ2hhnSJbttdQl93Ng25boeJudHSJhksHuh7r2UGxoRESqwm9b5WkO36oc/s1600-h/DSC04418.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinwH1XrAy_tHG2Sd1NsnucBsQ-uLjW7y-Wq4R7H3doMGM_5MSFeiPzeKtbam4W1TTmvnwEbOMff0QZ86MAsbZ2hhnSJbttdQl93Ng25boeJudHSJhksHuh7r2UGxoRESqwm9b5WkO36oc/s320/DSC04418.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Bobbin Tamers</span></strong><br />
</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">They are to keep all the strings on the bobbin in line of course ......but secretly they are little fuzzy hair ponietail holders. Shhh. don't tell. <br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilTVW7LFnTea6rpFDSqS7VGl9Sc2cAY69KVzB4dfNGz3pPZOcOmoU1Oqpn6FInzw6rZZYNn4r-32vBe945u1VPhmUHhfmUy79syl0vLnbsIWRR5mL9YNYs0o4tIzVOvVzXTCr2GsdvMtI/s1600-h/DSC04419.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilTVW7LFnTea6rpFDSqS7VGl9Sc2cAY69KVzB4dfNGz3pPZOcOmoU1Oqpn6FInzw6rZZYNn4r-32vBe945u1VPhmUHhfmUy79syl0vLnbsIWRR5mL9YNYs0o4tIzVOvVzXTCr2GsdvMtI/s320/DSC04419.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Here is how they work---- take your bobbin and wrap your bobbin tamer around the outside once or twice if it is a small bobbin. It will keep your strings from grabbing each other. It works even better on clear bobbins so you can see the thread color! <br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I found my bobbin tamers at Walmart- but i know that all a dollar carries them occassionally too. You want the smallest ones. They will stretch with use. <br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I saw the cutest small porcelein, kitchki -is that what those type of things called?, vintage pincushions...... at a boutique recently and thought---those are sooo cute! I really wanted one, but missed my chance to buy one and so here goes - Make it yourself! <br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">You first need to shop the Thrift stores- or maybe your grandmas house or where ever you can find a nice little collection of porcelein containers. They can be really anything. Just think- will this hold a stuffed little ball of wool or cotton? I went for the glass, porcelein ones. There is a lot out there right now that are resin, but i don't like that look as much as the glass kind. If you think it can work - get it! <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is my stash before the transformation. They were all under $1.00! can't beat that! <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There were the 3 that had no lids on them anymore. The 2 little teacups are handpainted and signed! that is kind of fun. The little boy- I think he is a flower container. The chimney stack will soon be stuffed! and the duck- just so 1980's especially with the bow! but he has a hollow back and soon it - he- will be stuffed too! hee hee<br />

</div>Stuffing: I used that wonderful wool stuffing that i got at the garage sale. It is soooo dense. You can really minipulate it's shape, much different from polyfil. <br />
Outside: I used felted wool sweaters. I thought that they might look a bit cuter than cotton in these. You really could use whatever you have on hand though. <br />
<br />
I cut the wool and then sewed two edges, turned it right sides out, and then stuffed it! I stuffed it a lot! Then i jammed it into the holes, making sure that the seams were underneath and tucked in the sides so only a smooth top showed. If it didn't make a nice rounded hill, then i would remove the tube, stuff some more and go jamming it back in again. I didn't use any glue {at first i thought i would} and they stayed in their place pretty good. {I think really because they were so jammed with stuffing} I think also that the ones missing lids had an edge on the top {where the lid would sit} so that helped keep all that inside. A smooth side would definitly not hold the cushion down and in. <br />
<br />
See what you get when finished:<br />

I thought-sure i have never done that before, why not give it a go? I know she has arrived to her new home safely and wanted to share and couldn't wait anymore. <br />
I looked and looked at the thrift stores for just the right gal. that was tough let me tell you. So many were calling from the shelves!<br />

The dress was in good shape and nothing broken on her. First i started with finding and trying out a few different things....pom poms, fuzzy thread, flowers, buttons...everything! It was actualy pretty fun to audition multiple things and see what she really wanted done to her. I didn't end up adding a whole bunch, but what i did - i love! <br />

I used some vintage clip on earings for the back of the bow center and her crown in her hair. I added a bit of pink ribbon on the bottom of her dress, a big ribbon-lace bow, a tiny doily butterfly on her front, and some flowers for her to hold. She had a blue ceramic headband that i covered with the sparkly white thread and put some more around her waist with a tiny button in the center. Not that you can't see all of that already. I should just be quiet so you can look for yourself. shhhh. <br />

Are they done? Have they had their day? Just for the record this was on the honeys side of the bed at his feet...maybe he runs in his sleep. He rolled over {wasn't making any moves--come on girls} and R IIII P!! we were like--what? Then he said --do you think you can patch that? hee hee. I got the best giggles! So newer sheets have been put on and i better pay attention to the thinning this time. <br />
<br />
And since we are on strange events -let me tell you another.....<br />
Last tuesday we needed a sub for the soccer team. So i say to the neighbors daughter who plays {wonderful keeper by the way} you wanna come and play? She says sure! Now, i should have known something was going to happen...every time we have asked a sub to come they have gotten hurt! Wracked wrist, gotten screamed at, ...you know. So anyways. She comes. She plays wonderfully and then......pop. yup, i heard it, the people on the bleachers heard it....um, i think i just broke my ancle was her first words as she is laying on the ground. what? <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Long story- sorry. She goes to the doctor the next day- yup BOTH BONES!!! what the? and a spiral crack on the ancle. What? oh, my!! So one surgery, 2 pins, and 1 plate later she is better. As better as can be. sitting in the recliner watching t.v. and crocheting for the next 6 weeks! She has been a good sport and hasn't rubbed my nose in the mess i made :) thanks amber. <br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So, would everyone go on over to her etsy shop<br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"><strong>---</strong></span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/aggieamber"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"><strong>aggieamber</strong></span></a><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"><strong>---</strong></span> <br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">and take a look at her crocheted items. She has VERY CUTE headbands! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin1RX_t95Vtvp2ND_8IHWyBlcgpdl17ZZbSiyr2ObQ_2yycE2yXezy5wqQG9gYQ1pvwV-21c3_ovk_vgBDhtmFbJvzyRNoBTE0i4PXcJQrPk9zs01whSg-db6Nyvm9Inpgxo3YZ4if6R4/s1600-h/amber.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" rs="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin1RX_t95Vtvp2ND_8IHWyBlcgpdl17ZZbSiyr2ObQ_2yycE2yXezy5wqQG9gYQ1pvwV-21c3_ovk_vgBDhtmFbJvzyRNoBTE0i4PXcJQrPk9zs01whSg-db6Nyvm9Inpgxo3YZ4if6R4/s640/amber.jpg" /></a> They are very reasonably priced- so you could buy one or two, because really---- what will she do with that big pile of headbands while she is sitting there recovering and crochetting, crochetting and recovering?<br />

<br />
Just since i'm sharing wierd anomolies......i had to drive down to the corner to pick up someone because their tire fell off!!! i mean really. all lug nuts- gone. what? in fact the tire had rolled itself across the street into the gutter. poor sister-in-law. it just isn't fair that car things happen to girls is it? why does it then? Her husband came and i ran up the street {to my home} and got a no work jack-sweet! and he jacked it up and then put the tire back on {there were some definite flats spots on the rotor--like when big wheels skid too much} and then we had to use a coat hanger to keep the rubber flap from catching the tire because it got all twisted up weird like. <br />
<br />
What do you think? Anything weird like happening around you? Maybe it is 'in the air'. Share it!! I wanna know if you can beat those. :)<br />

The bags are stuffed with their very own kit to make ...i can't reveal, there are watchers among us! oh, i am sooo excited! This will require a bit of hand sewing and i am hoping to get mine done for show off---sometimes you need to see it to love it, don't ya? You will see it and love it....but later. Can't let the kit out of the bag. hee hee<br />

</div>I have been working on some extra little presents here and there and thought i would tell you all about the vinyl notebook cover! They turn out cute and are sort of cheap and really don't take much time to make. Perfect for a quick and useful/reusable present all year long.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>First lets talk vinyl. I got mine at Joannes. They were around $6.00/yard. That is a bit much, but you only need a 12" cut. They come in 50-60" wide too so you get a lot for a little bit of purchase. After sewing a few different kinds of vinyl I will say that the semi-thick ones are the best. They have just a bit of padding on the backside making them a bit stiffer. They hold their stiffness better and won't bunch when sewing as much as the thin ones do. <br />
<br />
So now we have the background, let's sew shall we?!<br />
<br />
Materials needed for 1 book cover {these measurements are for composition books}:<br />
* 10 1/2" X 16 1/2" background for the cover<br />
* 10 1/2" X 6" inside sleeves <br />
* misc. colored pieces for the picture you are putting on the front cover<br />
* pinking shears or rotary cutter with pinking edge<br />
<br />
* I would recommend using a larger stitch with these. Around a 3-4 or so. It feeds it a lot easier. <br />
<br />
1) Cut all the materials needed for the book cover background and inside sleeves {in this pic below it shows all the edges are pink sheared. I did this for the first one, but it was too hard to keep lined up. I recommend waiting until the cover is sewn together and then pink shear them. Cut cut them straight with a rotary. Works perfect.<br />
----you do need to pink shear one long edge of the inside sleeves as you won't beable to after it is sewn to the cover.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh94PoSaT8b7876Za6T04IpE7fYkREhZxBdzmk2zwjTRjOWbkzeP0GQ33X6IrxZRaPmdn-eR2Svj_SIjIiGiMulpj4C-Gk0yGUONzPxNLBO-zsUOXRH8vkZYMQx6rzuIHLxXHNndzqi1hI/s1600-h/DSC04262.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh94PoSaT8b7876Za6T04IpE7fYkREhZxBdzmk2zwjTRjOWbkzeP0GQ33X6IrxZRaPmdn-eR2Svj_SIjIiGiMulpj4C-Gk0yGUONzPxNLBO-zsUOXRH8vkZYMQx6rzuIHLxXHNndzqi1hI/s320/DSC04262.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>This is the pinking rotary cutter. Love it. Use it on the edge of fleece fabric for blankets and such. quick easy, wonderful!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQzfynAEYnIS6PkKtYGNr9y0ulKVQ2cjBrSbQjE83wKmio1xrHglxnGvJgRgvoJ6r_ALi6BgnjG8zJrYMXWYIs-y3vQpaN56nrVrShRIe7hJn3D6NYxADsJ92ztPoUs5MUPG0cgZV6lE/s1600-h/DSC04263.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQzfynAEYnIS6PkKtYGNr9y0ulKVQ2cjBrSbQjE83wKmio1xrHglxnGvJgRgvoJ6r_ALi6BgnjG8zJrYMXWYIs-y3vQpaN56nrVrShRIe7hJn3D6NYxADsJ92ztPoUs5MUPG0cgZV6lE/s320/DSC04263.JPG" /></a><br />
</div>2) Find your pattern and copy/trace or make your own. I used the discovery cards from the shape game--you know-- have a bunch of hard foam shapes, but them inside the card shapes and make what is on the card. They are very simple and straight forward. You can tell what they are. Perfect patterns.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDWenJ5v5acmnfriTjs-Qme3iePtxlxxZxHBSdZPAbL597O967jnmVOcIL34vMw-_OE4Hp0SEpnTIUEcqihBJ2Pucq-W1fiX5uniWpgQ9WXoAyKxxXPh1yOO3wpskhQIBemZkvRPX0Yf4/s1600-h/DSC04261.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDWenJ5v5acmnfriTjs-Qme3iePtxlxxZxHBSdZPAbL597O967jnmVOcIL34vMw-_OE4Hp0SEpnTIUEcqihBJ2Pucq-W1fiX5uniWpgQ9WXoAyKxxXPh1yOO3wpskhQIBemZkvRPX0Yf4/s320/DSC04261.JPG" /></a><br />
</div>3) Cut the shapes out of the vinyl.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt2UfGZNW7hVo6rfI4XaadX3sTgdqgYU3k_zQkbCSFTUxwAz8T_N6GHrOPsVISaJZE9ghDaQcVXVjYAlEjXf87R-guKE1pu8yTfMzrT5CrkvHFJAwM1-9A8Nd0hrqSE9zC1Dl-tEsSfbY/s1600-h/DSC04265.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt2UfGZNW7hVo6rfI4XaadX3sTgdqgYU3k_zQkbCSFTUxwAz8T_N6GHrOPsVISaJZE9ghDaQcVXVjYAlEjXf87R-guKE1pu8yTfMzrT5CrkvHFJAwM1-9A8Nd0hrqSE9zC1Dl-tEsSfbY/s320/DSC04265.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>4) Place the larges piece on the front cover away from all edges and sew into place. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVsVwdcictAkL6SXtB5msmw5_bWhS4lVL_9Q1ad4y-X-gj_gfF1ZesAVqckdgIBwfhsFOpMf93i-aoPPvkrthXY93M18-OL9RMkQy5w1F-ybzNHbuHd1TzoXOFo_5KAyunxI39mbtoCw8/s1600-h/DSC04274.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVsVwdcictAkL6SXtB5msmw5_bWhS4lVL_9Q1ad4y-X-gj_gfF1ZesAVqckdgIBwfhsFOpMf93i-aoPPvkrthXY93M18-OL9RMkQy5w1F-ybzNHbuHd1TzoXOFo_5KAyunxI39mbtoCw8/s320/DSC04274.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I sewed 1/8th inch from the edge. Now if they are thinner vinyl then they do have a tendancy to shift/pucker a bit...see the moon? and the smoke? Makes things interesting. live and learn. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">5) Lay one inside panel on the backside of the front cover piece. Wrong sides should be together. Sew all the way around the edge- lining up the outside edge. Continue around slipping the other inside panel in when you get to that point. no pic on this, but it is easy. No turning out, trimming or anything! the outside raw egde is finished. You can trim this edge with the pinking shears and rotary at this point so they are cute. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguSHCriAxngMqN2vi21PgSPCDUOeok50Swyy32VuxYb83Pe6-y1oGkZjzco1-6Mydyn3X9awGN7lIhT1o96i9BhtZGawJCWuPVdGexc-8_AxwlevbW9uKHJQ0uvgNv7Q7UtF9uu_fekb8/s1600-h/DSC04275.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguSHCriAxngMqN2vi21PgSPCDUOeok50Swyy32VuxYb83Pe6-y1oGkZjzco1-6Mydyn3X9awGN7lIhT1o96i9BhtZGawJCWuPVdGexc-8_AxwlevbW9uKHJQ0uvgNv7Q7UtF9uu_fekb8/s320/DSC04275.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">6) Slip book inside the cover. You will need to bend it back a bit to get it in. Will fit just perfectly snug.<br />

I homeschool and the kids use composition books for their handwriting, spelling and anything written. They can go through them so it will be nice to have a re-usable cover that they can just put onto their new book!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I have decided that Starting today and for <em><strong>one week</strong></em> there will be a <span style="font-size: large;">sale</span>!!!! <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">All the patterns in the shop will be discounted to ........<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">$ 4.00</span><br />
</div><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">I figured that it is getting a little bit close to Christmas and to make things a little more affordable to others and to help them use up those fabric scraps/pieces I have made the patterns cheap! That way you can </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">'make it yourself----gosh'</span> </span><br />
All the patterns are e-patterns. So they come right to your email! Isn't that handy like? They will arrive there after payment and within a few hours of payment! Plenty of time to get that extra bit of sewing done. <br />
<br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;">So <a href="http://whosiesandwhatnots.etsy.com/">click</a> on over to the shop and see what there is.....there might even be another surprise when you get there. </span><br />
Want some teasers? --just in case i don't pump enough of all of my stuff your way--here is some extras!<br />
