Hi Guys!

I’m so excited today to be giving away one of my favorite crafting tools! A Silhouette Machine!

If you are not familiar with it, a Silhouette is a cutting device that hooks up to your computer and cuts images.  There are 2 models available, the Portrait and the Cameo, you can see a comparison chart of the two machines here.

Fun Fabric Luggage Tags

Fabric Luggage Tags

Are you or someone you know traveling this summer?  Want your bag to stand out in the luggage pick up at the airport?  Why not make some fun and unique luggage tags?   (You can find the pattern for the bag in the photo here)

Cute Luggage Tags

I actually shared the free printable for these luggage tags a year ago.  At the time I printed them on paper and laminated them to use.  Then I got the idea this month to print them on fabric!

Some City Shopping

nyc-1

 

Last weekend I went on a little adventure in New York City with my family.  My husband and I both went for work, and with the holiday weekend and the end of school near we decided it would be a good time to take the kids to see the City. I have only been to NYC one other time 11 years ago, so I felt like it was all new to me too.

How to cut fabric with a Silhouette

Cutting Fabric with a Silhouette

 

 

File this one under “holy cow it worked”! I cut fabric with my silhouette machine!  To be honest when Silhouette contacted me about reviewing their new Fabric Interfacing I was a bit skeptical…..

How to cut fabric with a Silhouette

 

They sent me a special fabric blade for my machine, and 2 types of fabric interfacing, sewable and clean cut.  

To cut fabric with a Silhouette Machine it turned out to be very simple and quick!
