-we have a four year old!-


Felicity turned four over the weekend!  She was so excited.  She has been counting down the days ever since Juliana was counting down the days to her birthday.  It has been a long wait, but finally she is four.  Now she is counting down to five. ;0) 


We had her birthday party the day before, and she has been looking at the pinatas at the grocery store for months picking out the "perfect" one.  She settled on a blue unicorn with pink and white hair.  She named it "Star Heart".  Poor Star Heart really got smashed to smithereens    


One of the things she has been asking for was a princess purse and a wallet.  Both of my girls are intrigued by how money works right now, and they like to pay the cashiers at store and get "change".  They think it is so awesome that they give them money, and then they get handed money back!


I didn't make the princess purse, but I had this awesome little mermaid/ castle Japanese fabric scrap that was the perfect size to make a wallet.  I used Keyka Lou's Zip Pocket Pouch pattern.  This is the tall version.  This size would work perfectly for a cell phone!


The only thing I did differently was to use a lightweight fusible fleece.  I like how it makes it soft but firm.  It was definitely a big hit with the recipient!

Keyka Lou is also offering all her patterns right now for $5 until November 27th!  All her patterns would make great Christmas gifts!

Just passing on some coupon love

I got an e-mail that Keyka Lou is currently offering 20% off all her patterns through August 6th with code "summersewing".

I am a big fan of her patterns, and she has such detailed instructions that even beginners can tackle most of these!


The Lots of Pockets Tote is one of my most favorite patterns.  I have made it so many times.  This one I made for myself a few years ago, and I think it is one of the best bags I have ever made.  The two front pockets are perfect for keys and those other small items that always get lost in the bottom of your purse!  


 

Although, I do love this version made with Amy Butler's August Fields.  I loved that line of fabric.  It had such bright, fresh colors.


The other pattern I have used a lot is the Basic Wallet.  It works so well for last minute gifts.  Pop in a little gift card, and you have fun little present!  It is also a versatile pattern as it fits both my iPhone and camera.

I am thinking of ordering her new Swatch Book pattern... how about you?  Did I suck you in? ;0p
