Kasey, I'm so happy you got my books! WOWZA! I'm glad you found my videos, too. Keep in touch, OK. I MEAN IT! :)

Thank you metalmonkey! I'm glad you're here.

That's a good part of the take away for this project. You can use all kinds of different patches for this project, too, but I love my Crafty Chica way too much!

[MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Yes, she does rock! I love that lady!

[MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

They are super nice iron on patches, the most intricate I've seen. I needed to figure out a way that I could wear them and this was it. Thanks for posting! :)

[MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

My pleasure Amy. Thanks for commenting! :)

[MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

It's a good one! Try using vinyl if you can't find leather. With the ribbon edges it looks really good!

[MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I always prefer sewing if you can do it easily! If not, then E-6000 is the next best thing!

[MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Me, too! I've been wearing it for a week now!

[MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I think you're referring to the heart I cut out for the bag! Don't worry Neropatti, I save and use all of my scraps. All of them! I don't waste anything!

[MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Yup, faux leather is perfect for this! :)

[MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

My favorite word and always terrific to read in a comment! Thanks crhawaii95!

[MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Yes, they sell them as most of the larger craft stores.

[MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I free formed it. You'll have to make your own pattern depending on the size of your patches.

It's a coat. A Halloween costume from a while ago that I really love. I don't have a tutorial for that. :(

I love this and the Crafty Chica. I've been following her since Myspace.
