Sure, here it is...the blind hem stitch on these pants isn't too pretty (thread issues), but you'll at least get the idea.

I find it happens a lot when I'm tailoring my husband's work pants, because there's a small tapper. I've also noticed with silky or stretchy (like jersy knit) this ripple can happen. It's probably due to all sorts of things- poor pinning, thread tension, fabric shifting/stretching. As long I've turned the edge under, I haven't had any problems with just popping that inner seam a little and then the hem sits smooth and ripple free

I'm just wondering why you used the blind hem stitch for this.. Thats not how I use the blind hem stitch on my machine. The triangle part falls off of the fold to where you don't see any stitches on the front. Just wondering if I am missing something. Also.. When I hem thick fabrics I take a hammer and beat the seams.. BIG help to me when I hem hubbys work pants and coveralls.

Okay, I guess I didn't know these were e-patterns...DUH! Do you buy pattern paper to make your patterns, or is there another trick?

You can buy thinner weight printing paper.. like vellum. Cept it is expensive. I am hoping to find something else to print e patterns on. I really don't like pinning through regular printer paper. I find it is harder to cut things out than tissue so I print them and then trace them onto my pattern paper.

hi everybody, i'm jumping in! i'm a new sewer. was taking free classes at our rec. dept., but my teacher decided to leave. (director was harassing her. ) i'm actually not too bad at sewing! lol surprised myself. it's the math of things that get me. sooo math challenged!

i'm pretty crafty otherwise. i'm an (unemployed) graphic designer, so that's pretty crafty. also do scrapbooks, but sometimes i'm so overwhelmed with ideas i just put the pics and a few stickers on the page. i'm hoping i can get my disney trip from last sept done soon. i've given up on the album from '03! it's sorta done too.

also make jewelry. worked at a bead shop and learned a lot. of course i have no pictures of all the really nice pieces i did. and i have a bunch of disney jewelry i've done. i really miss the beads disney use to have. i picked up a few (ok, i think i left 2) of the little ceramic mickey heads on our fall trip.

everybody's work on here amazes me and i love it all! i'm always sharing links to this thread with a crafty friend of mine and we drool. i have a 14 month old son and i'm going to attempt to make him some pants and shirt for a party next month. i told hubby we HAD TO have a girl so i could attempt these cute girly things.

oh...and i hate that our walmart got rid of the fabric. the other walmart about 20 minutes away has fabric, but it's not that great. i hate the "new" walmart. i also don't like our hancocks. it's always a mess and the workers are slow/unfriendly. our nearest hobby lobby and joann's is 35 minutes away or so. fabric choices in new orleans suck.

my next 2 projects are a few new toys for our dog using scraps that i can't do anything with. she won't eat the stuffed ones if it doesn't have a squeaker in it and the outfit for my son.

so here's my little starter projects...
1st ever...halloween pillow

my son with the gianormous stocking i made him...

1st banner i made...i thought the happy birthday ones were so cute online, so i made 2 for our saints (SUPERBOWL CHAMPS!!) party. the fleur de lis were a PITA to cut out and then when i went to sew them on, the fabric pulled, so i did it the easy way....glue.

and the 2nd banner...i had so much left overs...the who dat letters are martha stewarts pattern. they're for fabric (i guess felt) and were a PITA to cut out too!

so i may not post a lot, but i'm always lurking and enjoying!!

Hi! I live in Lafource parish in Cut Off. Do you know where that is? Where in New Orleans do you live? I find it funny you think New Orleans is bad for fabric!! I go there to buy my fabric. hehe I might be able to clue you into a few places you don't know about. I love Joanns on Veterans though. THe ladies in there are so nice. The ladies at Hancocks not so much!! I like heirloom sewing and designer fabrics and there are plenty places that have that in New Orleans. I live an hour away.
Love your Saints banner! THe stocking is adorable too.

FIGURES! Ugh - I finally get the motivation to sew, and I'm all out of flesh tone fabric for my applique!! I have to make a quick run to Hobby Lobby before to nights hockey game so I can sew when we get home!! At least I got to piece together some of the applique so I kinda know how it's going to look. Sorry - had to vent to my peeps that know the feeling!

I HATE when that happens. This is when I miss having a 24 hour wal mart to just run to to get that little scrap of applique fabric that you need.
This is also what I envy about people who own fabric shops.. just think.. you'd never have to run out to get something.

Love the Pirate goodies and the cake! Awesome job!

Please pray today for my friend, Kristy Gray. She will be going home today to recover for a month or so and then back to Shepherd's Spinal Center for more therapy. I ask each one of you to pray for her and her husband Brian. This will be the first time Kristy will be home since the awful accident that took their beautiful 2 yo daughters life and her ability to walk, almost three months ago. PLEASE remember them in your prayers.

Nini

Definitely praying, Nini. My heart hurts for this couple...I know God will provide, but it is so hard to understand things like this....

Love all your stuff, Cassie! And your little son is too cute!

How Gorgeous!! Good luck tomorrow night! Let us know how you do!

Wow! That is so pretty! How did you do the cupcake skirt? I don't see a rolled hem.. fishing line? wire? I have a cupcake skirt on my to do list.. My DD needs a fancy dress like on tv, but we don't do pageants.. just to wear to go to the store and stuff.. lol
Good luck!!!

sorry i cant quote yet, still trying to get to my 10th post...anywhoo your daughter and her new dress are ADORABLE! good luck and let us know how she does!

TVgirlmin.... Your DD's dress turned out really nice. Good Luck tonight.

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone - I am just on cloud 9! Emmy won!!! She was awarded Tiny Miss Oahu American Starlet at her very first pageant. Emmy did a great job and I was so proud of her - hearing her announced Queen was just icing on the cake! Here are some photos my hubby took (sorry they aren't really clear - the lighting in the theater was kind of icky...)

Lining Up:

On Stage:

Crowning:

Victory Yell:

Showing the Grand National Queen her Trophy (she was so thrilled with it, should wouldn't even let any of us touch it for the longest time!) -

Me and the Lil Queen -

I am just so proud of her - she was amazing! And I was so pleased with how the dress turned out. Now I am totally hooked on pageants - it is sooo addictive!

For the cupcake skirt, most of them are done with a rolled hem (but I couldn't figure out how to do it, even after reading several rolled hem tutorials). So I just improvised with a regular hem filled with fishing line. I was pretty happy with the result!

Congratulations! Both you and DD look so proud. Great pic of the two of you togther. It would make a nice 8x10 to hang on the wall.
It's nice to put a face with a (user)name.

Does anyone know what type of prewound bobbins I'd get for a Brother 270D??? I think I want to try them!!

TGIF!!!Whats everyone doing this weekend?????

Hi Wendy,

I don't know about bobbins but google it and they come up. I have the 156 in pre wound plastic and love them. Now I also have tons of older bobbins for my regular machine but don't use them.

I am finishing up the quilt for my neighbor who has cancer today and snowboarding tomorrow. I may have time to start on a few big give shirts!

I went to the city yesterday and got your new shirt. It is red, sorry, they don't have any good choices here for colours. I will do my best to girly it up.

What are you doing this weekend?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I want to use the Disney font for Big Give Shirts- can someone tell me where is the best place to buy them, and do you get the whole alphabet, or I am stuck with specific names?

We downloaded the entire alphabet for free! Just google disney font. I don't know where DH got it from as it was about a year ago but we have pirate font and two kinds of Disney. You really don't need to pay for fonts, there are so many out there.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Just to show that I can sew - not well but I try
Here is an outfit for a little one going to Disney for his 3rd birthday. I took the pic really fast at work before I gave it to his Grandpa (he delievered it from Mickey!).

Left - Heather's AWESOME mickey skull & crossbones on a little drawstring bag I made for his outfit to go in.
Middle - Tshirt with another Heather design - Mickey Pirate
Right - Easy fits (my first) Shorts
Far Right - the junk on my desk at work!

I think I CASED this idea from someone else - if this is you thank you sooooo much!

And, just because PB seems to like me today, here is a pic of my last cake for my Mom Mom - 83 years old and she loves her seafood - this is all sugar... it weighed a ton. Hmmm little pic but it's a seafood pot with clams, mussels, crab, lobster, and sugar "water". 5 layers of choc cake..hmmm...cake......

There you go, I shared two of my hobby projects - sewing (new) and caking (old)!
Thanks for looking

I love your pirate clothing and goods. We are big pirate fans. The cake is really creative, hope mom likes it.

 

[dmbdisneymom]

Does anyone have anyhing Star Wars related that you've made? I've seen a lot of shirts, but need some fabric ideas for skirts for SWW on our next trip. TIA!

I googled "disney font" it, but only found regular files, not embroidery specific downloads. Could someone pm me with more info? I am new to all this - I'm picking up my new Brother embroidery machine today : )

PASSWORD​

During a recent password audit at a large company, it was found that a receptionist was using the following password:


"MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"



When asked why she had such a long password, she said she was told that it had to be at least eight characters long and include at least one capital.

A friend just sent me an email containing this: (Does she know me or what?!?!)

I haven't found it for free anywhere, but I've seen it on Etsy as a download, and as a CD to be mailed. I want it too, but haven't yet taken the plunge because I'm sort of hoping a certain reliable digitizer we all know and love will add it to her collection, so I can purchase it there. (yes, that's a very sincere Tinkerbellemom grovelling here, hoping someone will take the hint... )

Does anyone have anyhing Star Wars related that you've made? I've seen a lot of shirts, but need some fabric ideas for skirts for SWW on our next trip. TIA!

I did one...kinda...this was made from the retro sheets at Pottery Barn Kids...pricey for fabric...but my mom bought the sham for me so I would have some cool fabric!

The boys shorts I CASED from someone else...they are the pillow panels. Katie will be wearing the dress again this year, but I think I will make something else for the boys...haven't decided yet. Patrick would gladly wear his full-on Jedi stuff, but I don't want the kid passing out!
