New Miche Bag Releases!

Below is a picture of the December new releases of the Miche Bag. For more information, visit my Miche Bag Blog

Got to be creative--finally!

My "play time" has been so limited for so long that today I finally just "dropped everything" and played--it felt so good!!! Not the best picture--but I made some brooches for myself, my daughter and some friends--they were so fun--not to mention so easy!!!!! Everything is cut with the big shot--then held together with a hot glue gun!
Shelli Gardner featured these on her blog awhile ago--along with complete step by step pictures. The only thing I did different was to "hot glue" everything together--no sewing here!!!
Click Here to see Shelli's directions

Here are just a couple of pictures of the process:
You use the FLOWER FOLDS die and can layer all 4 layers of fabric onto the die and cut them all out at once. You need 4 different fabrics and one flower of each using 3 of the 4 flowers on the die--you don't use the biggest one.
