Vive La France

Sewing time has been in short supply again this week but I did get a chance to make up a Passport Protector for a friend's daughter who loves all things French. I used one of my older tutorials for the Passport Protector. You can find it here.




The fabric I used was Trefle by Kokka, a linen blend, with some Lecien polka dots.




I found the sweet Eiffel Tower label from This and That from Japan They don't have any more in stock but have some lovely Japanese trims/ribbons.


I made up a matching tag using the Summer in Paris Cricut Cartridge.

Thanks for all the comments on my giveaway post. Love all the ideas for crafting for a cause - lots of worthwhile charities around. You still have time to enter - I will draw a winner on Saturday.

What a fun little project! Thanks for revisiting the pattern and offering the link to the tutorial. I spend much of my summer months in Canada and when friends and family come for a visit from the states, I can present them with a sweet and useful little gift!! ~karen

Adoring this! I'm soooo into red with white dots at the moment. I even changed my etsy shop banner, and classroom pin up boards to red with white dots! xx

Hi Lisa!

I love the Paris passport holder!!! It is so cute. I made myself one from your tutorial and loved it so much that I have made most of my friends one when their birthday rolled around. Thank you so much for sharing!

If I remember correctly you have been making cookies from the Martha Stewart Cookie Book. I have made several kinds. The Oatmeal Raisin recipe is one that a friend of mine's husband calls the "perfect cookies". I live in Alabam so instead of raisins (I don't like raisins) I use pecans. For the Milk Chocolate Cookies I used chocolate with little bits of almond in it--oh my goodnes--they are fabulous!!

I love reading your blog--I deeply appreciate your tutorials--so are so kind to share!!

I really love that fabric! And have I mentioned my Cricut envy?! (I believe I have, but I'm making you hear about it again!) I sooooo gotta get one of those.

K-Sue said...

I really like these fabrics, too. And I have Cricut envy, too. Nice use of pretty twine.
