I need some advice/help. I was sewing on my first twirl skirt when my machine started clicking and refused to gather. I immediately cleaned it out, oiled it just in case, and rethreaded it. It will now stitch but not gather at all. The needle just won't go down to the fabric when it is supposed to be gathering. Do you have any suggestions or should I just call the repair shop?

I LOOOOVE it!!! That is just so, well, PRECIOUS!!!

Thank you.

They are scrapbook things from Michaels. They have stickers on the back but are strong enough to be buttons.

Whate a cute idea!! I have never thought to use scrapbook buttons.

Adorable!

What a cute dress!!! Love it!!! And where did you get the fabric? I have a little princess I may need to get some for......:love:

Thank you both. HeatherSue - somehow lost your quote, but thank you also! The fabric came from Hobby Lobby. The lady cutting said they had just put it out.
 
trying this yet again....

syncsk8mom....Cute outfits and you DD is adorable!


Granna4679.... I love that Princess fabric! I may have to hit up Hobby Lobby since I just got new patterns this weekend. :rolleyes1
 

I feel for poor Makenna. I used to lay in bed at night worrying about the house catching fire. I'd get myself so worked up I would start to cry. I think this started for me when they talked about fire safety at school. Actually, I still lay in bed worrying. But, at least now I have working smoke detectors everywhere and a plan!

I'm going to try to do a whole set of Toy Story characters before Toy Story 3 comes out! So far I just have Hamm and Buzz.

Unfortunately Makenna is a worrier so we try not to talk about any of those type of things around her and we are very careful about what she watches on TV and things, but she still worries. I feel bad for her because she can get herself very worked up.

I am so excited to see your other toy story characters. My youngest DD loves those movies! She calls Woody her "Yee-ha bo bo!" :lmao:
 
We've had some terrible losses this week. My brother's wife lost her baby this week. She was around 16 weeks. There is also a wonderful nurse at work, who also lost her baby. She was 16 weeks also. So terrible. I can't imagine.
I did manage to get my Epcot Vida done, and now I'm searching for ideas for my next outfit.

I like how it came out, but I'm still not sold on the fabric for the bodice. I do like the buttons across the bottom.

The Vida looks great. So sorry for all the loss in your life this week.

I got to play with my sewing machine today!!!!!

I made an arm cover for DD's mobile:

It matches the curtains my mom made for her room. That's Kaitlyn in the crib:

Cute, my DSIL loves Winnie, and would die to have that room as a nursery. (IF she EVER has a child, I so want them to get preggers so I can sew for them)

One of our friends has a little girl with Spina Bifida. She will turn 2 this week. I made this for her birthday. I saw this fabric just as they were putting it out the other day and knew right off this was what I would use.
I love this pattern...it was so easy and I think it turned out so cute.

So cute,,, i love all the outfits I especially love the Doug shirt and Squirrel :laughing:I am gonna cab that and make one for my Mayson :rolleyes1Up is his fav movie .... :woohoo:
 
Thanks everyone for the compliments!!

As for the Dug shirt.....we got a TON of mileage out of it this weekend.....Kirk wore it to every park and people and CM's would just yell out SQUIRREL everywhere we went!!

The CM's said that people have really connected to Dug, gee I wonder why...he stole the hole movie :rotfl:
 
So my DH asked the other day if you guys would kick me out of the group for not sewing enough...I told him no because it really is about so much more than just sewing...but I really do need to do some sewing.

I have all my ideas picked out for our trip in June...no I just have to start. LAZY!

The kids are home from school today after our big snow...a whole 6 inches...but wow did it ice over with 11degrees last night! (I know some of you think the snow and temp is no big deal...but in NC it tends to be!) Poor DH had to go to work today anyway...retail and all...so he had parked his old car up the road at the high school and he rode his bike at 4:00 am a mile up to the school. He said he would have never made it in the car it was so icy. Then with all of the ice it took him 30 mins to go 5 miles to work. I pray for some major melting today!

Okay...off to fold some clothes and then sew....I hope....hmmm...kids are yelling for me....may have to sew tomorrow!:lmao:

I hope things are melting for you today!

Really cute Sarah! (did I get your name right? tell me if I didn't!) Your daughter is a cutie!!! And see how much your brother knows! :snooty: You did a good job!
 
So my DH asked the other day if you guys would kick me out of the group for not sewing enough...I told him no because it really is about so much more than just sewing...but I really do need to do some sewing.
I was worried I was going to get kicked out since I hadn't posted in so long! But, we're a pretty forgiving bunch! ;)

I have not been on here for a long time. I have lurked many times, but now that I have gotten back into sewing more, I need some help. I tried my very first applique this past weekend, but I need to know how you sew around all those tiny pieces? Any suggestions?

Going around tiny pieces is really difficult. There isn't much I can tell you to help besides to practice! I would do the small parts of the design with hand embroidery (needle and embroidery thread) before I got my embroidery machine.

Hi everyone,
just a quick note, the seller on etsy who I got my long sought after fabric from (the black one which looked like magic kingdom) has found some more and relisted. I know some of you wanted some, so here's the link
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38752703&ref=sr_list_1&&ga_search_query=amusement+park+at+night&ga_search_type=supplies&ga_page=&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

hope that worked ok!

take care :)
OOOHHHHH!!!! I SO want that fabric!!!!!!

I need some advice/help. I was sewing on my first twirl skirt when my machine started clicking and refused to gather. I immediately cleaned it out, oiled it just in case, and rethreaded it.

It sounds like you did everything I would have tried in that situation. I don't know what else you could do. Hopefully someone will have a suggestion.

Yay! You've graduated from your Fisher Price computer! ;) I love the outfits you made for the trip! Your daughter looks so tiny next to Dug! She is absolutely adorable!

"Yee-ha bo bo", huh? That's a new one! Too cute!
 
Hi Everyone...I just purchased the raglan tee pattern & the Olivia so now I am on the hunt for the perfect fabric. If anyone has a great online supplier of knits please let me know. We only have a Joann here with a very limited knits section. I am really looking for prints, but any suppliers you are willing to share would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

Dawn, I'm not sure what you mean. What method are you using to gather?

Daniel actually got dc'd from the hospital this weekend from his infection in his lines and they had him come back in today for...................HIS LAST CHEMO TREATMENT ( : WOO HOO!!!!!
 
I hope I don't get kicked out of the club for not posting either. I promise I've been sewing. Just not as much as I would like. I have Mardi Gras tops finished except for buttons. If Abbie will ever stay home long enough, I will take a picture of her and Maddie in their matching tops.
I ordered my first design from HeatherSue. Now I understand why everyone thinks her designs are the best.

Everyone has posted some great outfits. I wish I had time to comment on all of them.
