Take your strip of 4 inch ribbon and burn the edges with a lighter or a match to seal it so they do not unravel. Sew these together using a zig-zag stitch several times back and forth so that it does not come apart. Place the two raw edges so that one is overlapping the other one about 1/4 of an inch (or to the fusible interfacing). Be sure that the clip is on top of the material you want to be on the outside of your key chain. Now, take your purse clip and slide it onto the key chain. I sewed mine fairly close to the edge which was about an 1/8 inch seam. Now sew along both edges of the key chain. This will temporarily fuse the top and bottom materials together so they are easier to sew, and will make your key chain a little sturdier. I make sure the folds of each ironed fabric are on opposite sides.
Take your strip of fusible interfacing and place it evenly between your two coordinating fabrics. When both fabrics have been ironed, fold the material in half length-wise and iron. I use a peice of cardstock paper to fold the material over to give me a nice even hem line. Iron both strips of coordinating fabrics a 1/4 of an inch down both sides with the right-side of the fabric facedown on your ironing board. Cut 1 strip of your fusible interfacing to measure 1 inch by 10.5 inches.
1 strip of fusible interfacing (I used Pellon 809 DecorBond).These are great because they can be worn on your wrist while juggling kids and groceries and they make digging through your diaper bag or purse to find your elusive keys a thing of the past.

Today I am going to show you how to make your own fashionable key chains. I use naptime, evening and sometimes the early morning hours to work on my projects. I am a stay at home mother of five and I love to create things. Thanks Kari! You can normally find me at The Idea Room.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned sewer, you’re sure to find something that speaks to you in this book.Hi! My name is Amy and I am really excited to be a guest blogger here at U Create. Overall, Lotta Jansdotter Everyday Patterns is an inspiring guide for anyone looking to elevate their sewing skills and create a flexible, stylish wardrobe. It’s a great reminder that fashion is not just about what we wear, but also about how we express ourselves and make memories. I also appreciate the way she showcases how each piece can be worn in different variations, whether it’s for work, play, rest, or travel. From her witty remarks to the photos of her friends and family, the book is a joy to read. What I love most about this book is Lotta’s sense of humor. Lotta encourages readers to personalize each piece with trims, pockets, sleeves, and hemlines, and provides ideas on how to mix and match each item to create a variety of looks. The book is a step-by-step guide to creating a seven-piece wardrobe with modern elegance and flexibility, with easy-to-sew patterns for basic garments like skirts, shirts, pants, and jackets, as well as unique accessories like a tote bag and bandana. Lotta’s unique approach to fashion is both inspiring and relatable, and her Scandinavian-inspired style is something I couldn’t resist. This book is not just a guide to creating your own clothing, but also a journey of self-expression and creativity. I was ecstatic to get my hands on Lotta Jansdotter’s Everyday Patterns.
