I am finally finished Olivias SNow White outfit! Only took umm, 4 days lots of rippin seams because of careless mistakes and a few bandaids from pins and needles but IT IS FINISHED FINALLY!!!!!! Olivia loves it which always makes it worth it! HEre are a few pictures. THey are not the best but it is freezing outside. Olivia had to put it on to show the "People int he computer" so I figured I better post a few pictures for her lol

That is such a cute outfit! Love the jeans! I can't wait to see what you come up with for Cinderella.

I finally have a picture to share of Maddie in her birthday outfit. I let her wear it to deliver cupcakes to Abbie at school today. I learned a lot on this outfit. It was my first applique using my new PED basic. (Now I want a bigger hoop!) and I was able to try out my new serger. So here comes a picture of one of those VERY LONG ruffles.

Too cute! I love the combination of fabrics in that outfit.

I have a question and maybe you ladies (and Tom) can help me out...

I got a Brother PE-770 Machine for Christmas and it was bundled with 3 hoops....one of which is 6 x 10......but I am not sure that my machine will do 6 x 10....how do I know for sure? I got the machine from Sew N Vac on amazon. Is anyone familiar with this seller and this machine?

Thanks!

PS Where is the best place to buy prewound bobbins?

THANKS

. If you are measuring the hoop with a tape measure frame to frame a 5x7 hoop will measure about 6x10...not all the area inside the frame is embroider-able....kwim?

I have the 780, your machine should only be a 5X7. A hoop bundle is great. Those things are expensive. The 6X10 could be for multi position use. Say you do a design, you can move the hoop up a notch, put a name under the design.

OT - my mom was admitted to he hospital yesterday with chest pains. She held off for like 24 hours, cause they didn't seem that bad.... I WAS LIKE, YOU ARE 62 YRS OLD, CHEST PAINS SHOULD ALWAYS BE CHECKED. Her first EKG showed an irregularity, but the 2 she has had since have been normal. Please pray everything will be fine with her, I have so much I still have to do with her in this life.

My Mom did something similar about 6 ot 7 years ago, chest pains admitted to the hospital. All tests came back normal, the pain went away and they never figured it out and she has never had a problem again. I am glad they ruled out heart attack for your Mom, I'll add her to my prayer list.

Adorable!

I have been sewing all week and so happy to do it. I really haven't sewn in years. I learned in High School and then sewed a little for my first daughter but then as my second and third child were born I got away from it. I forgot how much fun it is, I did a little right before Christmas and for that I had to dig my machine out of the back of a closet! I now have a list of projects I want to do and have purchased a boat load of Carla's patterns and I'm going to attempt a simply sweet and easy fit next week for my granddaughter. I would never had rediscovered sewing without this thread so thank you ladies, you have no idea how simply posting a picture will inspire someone!

Precious, precious, precious. I love it....you did a fantastic job.

Megan had her 2 month appt this morning. My girl is BIG! 13 pounds 5 ounces (95th percentile) and 23 inches (87 percentile)

We need to see some new pics of Miss Megan.

Very cute!! Looks a lot like the one I posted last week (some of the same fabrics)....it made such a cute combination.

Mom2samandjames - I somehow lost your quote but love the stitch shirts and your little guys are too cute.

Good morning girls and Tom!

h518may- I am SO glad I am not the only one who does things like that! I hate it!!!


I called GKTW today, they are sending me a paver form. Since I wanted to pay with a check from Levi's Estate, this seemed to be the best way.

Also, if anyone has been following my VR plans, I am having the thread closed. Matt's hours got cut at work and the budget can't handle it. We probably won't do Disney this year. Keep your fingers crossed for me that we can cruise on the Dream in 2011!

I'm excited to hear about the paver for Levi. It makes me sad and happy all at the same time.
I'm sorry about your VR.

Please pray everything will be fine with her, I have so much I still have to do with her in this life.

What a beautiful thing to say. I hope your Mom is ok.

I was going to say about the same thing about the hoop measuring bigger. My 4X4 hoop measures 5x7.
Are you sure it's not a multiposition hoop? (I think that would be bigger though)

JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER! BIG GIVERS! IF YOU HAVE NOT CHECKED IN ON THE BIG GIVE BOARD, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO SO!

I think the multipositioning hoop for that machine is 5x12

[syncsk8mom]

OH MY!!!

I have no idea what you are talking about being a multiposition hoop.....way too advanced for me!!!

Is there a tutorial for that?

 

[candicenicole19]

OH MY!!!

I have no idea what you are talking about being a multiposition hoop.....way too advanced for me!!!

Is there a tutorial for that?

I am not sure if it is anything like mine or not but my Mega Hoop has 3 different positions so you can do a larger design. Mine is P1, P2 and P3. When it needs to be moved to a different position my machine stops to tell me that it needs to go to the next postion and which one to go to. Its pretty easy once you understand. I remember the first time I used the hoop I had no clue that I had to do that. I sat in front of my machine for ever trying to figire out what it was trying to tell me! Hope that helps some! I always have to start mine off in the middle position

Opinions needed!

I got these two flannel prints on sale yesterday with the intention of making a rag quilt out of them. I have 1 metre of the trees and 2 metres of the dots. The colours are a lot greener than they're appearing in the photos....

Also in my stash I have about 1 metre of the solid green cut into 10inch squares, 1 metre of the chocolate brown, and 1 metre of white cut into 6 inch squares. (Yeah, I cut the green then a few days later forgot what size I cut it, assumed it was 1 size and cut the white the wrong size.)

They're not really the same green, but would the solid "go" with the prints if I used them or should I alternate the prints with just white? I don't think I'd do the patterns next to eachother...I think I'd want a solid in between. Would the brown be a good choice for the back?

I might hit Walmart tomorrow and see if they have any cheap flannel that's a better match for these. Thanks for the help!

 

[kathyell]

I haven't posted in too, too long. I'm just jumping back in the middle!

Here you go:

Cute, and so festive! It looks comfy, too.

Hey Everyone!

This was made fabric that was supposed to be made into a blanket.

I made the top on #1, the skirt on #2 and the dress on #3.

All very cute! Looks like you're enjoying sewing a lot!

Here are my latest completions:

My boys in their lounge pants

My boys in their matching Stitch shirts this morning

My first pair of pants with ruffles on the bottom. (Yes I live in Alabama. That the reason for the houndstooth.)

My youngest in his Pooh shirt

I like how your ruffles turned out, but I think my favorite is the Pooh shirt.

Another question- For those of you who make nightgowns, what kind of fabric do you use?

I go ahead and use (prewashed, usually twice to try to make sure it's done shrinking) cotton. It breathes so well and seems to work well for the warmer months. My girl tends to get over-hot at night even when it's not that hot in the house, so I've turned out a few cotton nightgowns and they get used a lot.

I think the "people in the computer" are giving you a pretty universal thumb's up! Can't wait to see the Cindy set.

Hi everyone. Its been a few days since I have logged onto my DISboards! Shame on me. But, my excuse is good enough. I got approved for a new house! YAY!! So Georgia and I will be moving the first of the month across town to a cute little townhouse. AND.....we get to keep all our pets! I was nervous for a bit, but its all just fine now. So excited! Its like a completely fresh start. no ex-husband memories in the house, no room mates to worry about, just the Peach and me! I have tons of plans for this new place.


While looking around, I found these. Super cute. totally gonna case these. Now just to find the fabric or get those flannel sheets.

Congrats on the house! How fantastic!! Can't wait to see pics of your new girls only pad!

Awesome outfits, and really cute looking girls.

Praying for her

I'm someone will be there when we will. We never seem to go when all the cool kids go.
I know it was the decision. I know because I'm excited about the trip again & it was starting to be more stress than fun. Now I'm excited & planning. My aunt, uncle & cousin are probably going to get to come down for a few days while we're there too.

Happy Birthday Lexie!!

I really think you did the right thing- and I can't believe I'm one of the cool kids- wow! I um, would like to thank the academy for this award...

1. Never, ever apologize for too many pics- especially of outfits like this!
2. Holy smokes, did you do all those by hand?

I love, love, love the outfit, and am trying to hide my laptop from my DD because I know she'd want one and mommy's not that good.

I agree, well worth the injuries. Really amazing.

My mom thought she was having a heart attacck several years ago. It turned out to be her gallbladder. I will be praying for you both.


I lost my quote but I love SnowWhite and can't wait to see Cinderella.

So cute- She looks adorable and I love the matching ribbons in her shoes- great, great job!

 

[candicenicole19]

THanks again Ladies!

Ireland Nicole--- Oh no not by hand lol, Machine Applique. A lot easier then doing it by hand but still takes a long time! I spent four days in front of my sewing machine doing those appliques lol, She loves it so its totally worth it but now I gotta decide how much I am going to do for the Cinderella outfit. While I am thinking that over, I decided to start a Fancy Nancy outfit lol, I have at least 9 half finished fancy nancy outfits that always get pushed to the back burner when I decide what I want to "really" make!

 

[tjcrabb]

Does anyone do any hem stitching with their machine? I am looking for a recommendation for a machine that is able to hem stitch. I crochet around baby blankets and there is no one locally that can do it for me and its not cost effective to send it to another state I have a brother LS-30 but I have searched the manual and it isnt helpful. Thanks everyone!

Ok, it's official--in addition to the trip to WDW in December with the granddaughters, I get to go to Disneyland in July to celebrate the big 5-0!!
My sisters have been wanting to plan a family trip before all the teenagers decide they're too old to vacation with family--there will probably be only one person under 18 on this trip, so no sewing. However, a niece and I are planning to do the tie-dye mickey head shirts for everyone, and possibly one of HeatherSue's embroidery designs on a birthday shirt for me and coordinates for them! I have a few months to figure that out.

Now, can someone tell me where to get the ticker things for the bottom of my signature?

Yay for DisneyLand! I moved and am 45 minutes from there...but have not yet been...with passes to SeaWorld, the Zoo, and Legoland, we're hard-pressed to use what we have.

Congrats! I loved living in a townhouse - minimal outside maintenance meant more time for sewing. I used to send DD out into the postage stamp of a backyard to play, then go inside and sew with the door open.

Pictures???

No pictures. The desk ate my camera? Seriously, my camera's been missing for, like, two weeks now.

HELP...Emma needs a costume Italy day in two weeks at her school. They are suppose to dress as their favorite character from Pinnochio (not the Disney version, they are reading the book in school). She picked the fairy with turqouise hair (the blue fairy). I think I could just use a simply sweet pattern for it..what do you all think. It wouldn't be as renaissance as it should but I don't think it will matter. Should I go get a renaissance dress pattern or just use the simply sweet..ideas?

Use Simply Sweet. This is for school! I have no idea what the Blue Fairy is supposed to look like, but to me Renaissance is rich colors and braided trim. If you are comfortable with it, I'd modify the bodice so that it looks like it's corseted then add trim in a few other places.

I kind of like the brown, and like the idea of the white. The green's not working for me. Sorry!

Hem stitching like how? My machine(s) have a hem (__^__^__^) (two straight stitches, then a zig in and a zag out) or blanket stitch (__|__|__|__|) (Two straight stitches along the edge, then a straight stitch in and right back out) on them. I found your user manual on-line (yup, I really *do* have better things to do tonight, as DD is reading over my shoulder and bugging me to make DH's birthday dessert) and on page 48 they descibe the blind hem stitch. (__^__^__^). I usually use it for appliques. You could use it on the edge of a blanket, I guess, if you ran the straight stitching right along the edge.
