I am Erica Gonzales, a 24 year old college student attending UTSA, that loves to express myself through writing. Im using this blog as my diary, my escape, and my little paradise. My dream is to become a kinder teacher, just like my mother. I currently have an associate in Arts EC-6th and am a year away from my BA. I'm not afraid of my goals, my dreams, and battling my own deamons. I am thankful for my wonderful family and the friends who believe in me and encourage me to keep sewing.

Cute Fabric Tissue Holders


For those of you who know my at all, you know that I am practically allergic to EVERYTHING! This includes all grasses, trees, pollens, dogs, cats, and dust mites.  So, how perfect are these adorable fabric tissue holders?  They are the perfect size for your purse, back pack, or even your pocket!  I used a tutorial from Sew Mama Sew http://www.sewmamasew.com/blog2/december2010/JCasaSMSProjectDec.  I love the step by step pictures that she has added in the tutorial.  It really helped make it easier to understand.


Here are my new creations.......









Hope you get to check out her blog @ http://sewmamasew.com/index.php.  She has many great tutorials, try one out yourself :)

First Zippered Pouch

Zippered Pouch

Okay, so I'm starting to get the hang of making a basic zippered pouch.  I had a little trouble sewing the zipper for the first time.  I added lace and a heart button to embellish.
Here she is, more to come soon:)
