Liz's Sewing Corner: 2012

About Liz Odle...

Sewing is my life. I've been sewing since I was 8 yrs old. I graduated with a BA in Family and Consumer Science Education (formerly Home Economics Education). I taught sewing to 7th, 8th, and 9th graders for 3 yrs. Classes ranged from an introductory to a more advanced level. I've also taught sewing privately to individuals for 8+ years. I enjoy sewing for myself and my family and the occasional friend. But I enjoy teaching others how to sew even more. If you are interested in lessons those are my specialty. I live in the North Platte, NE area and make occasional trip to other areas of Nebraska as well as the Salt Lake area. If you would like to have a lesson email me a lizardping44 at gmail dot com.

Princess Caddy or Purse

I will start by saying that a- I didn't make this, b- my sister is amazingly creative (love you). For Christmas my sister made this Princess Caddy for my daughter. Emily was THRILLED.

She took 2 ideas from different websites. Here was an idea for A Box o' Princesses and here is the idea for a Cozy Car Caddy. She turned the Cozy Car Caddy into a purse perfect for a little girl to carry around with her. In the big pocket my sister included the backdrop (not pictured here) from the Box o' Princesses for my daughter to color and use as a background with her princesses.

Here are all the princesses my sister painted (she did an amazing job! My 3 yr old immediately recognized who all the princesses were). L to R are Ariel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Rapunzel or "Tangled" as my daughter refers to her, Cinderella.

My daughters 2 favorite princesses close up. My sister got so much detail on these princesses it's amazing. So much better than the ones on other websites. Like I said my sister is AWESOME!

This gift was so awesome. Now my son can take his Car Caddy everywhere and my daughter can take her Princess Purse. Enjoy.
