So, earlier I posted that machine was on its last leg...well, tonight it lost its last leg. In the middle of a patchwork skirt I was repurposing. AHH!! 10 days till Disney this can't be happening... So,,,,,.....


DH let me order a new machine! I went with the brother cs6000. I know some had problems with it, but I have talked to many who didn't so now....:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

SMFTPICQACOTA!!!

I need to be better about checking this thread more. It takes me an hour or more just to catch up. Plus now I am drooling over embroidery machines.
 
I hope one of you very talented ladies can help me! Our elementary school has asked me to make a super-hero cape for "Zero the Hero" for their hundred-day celebration. Of course, they asked me in August and being the procrastinator that I am, I haven't even started and they will need it next month! It needs to fit an adult. Any ideas or patterns?

Great stuff posted lately, I'm at work and don't have time to quote but love it all!

I don't have any suggestions but I want to let you know I saw your question. Someone (was in Anita?) made a bunch of capes before Christmas. I think she had posted the measurements then.

I finished the little boys Chef Mickey shirts. EE is wearing her minnie dress and Noah is wearing a Goofy shirt but I need to buy a shirt to put the applique on. At least it is prepped and cut and ready to go :)

Mickey is Ty's his absolute favorite character. Donald is Jacks.

Cute! I can't wait to see the shirts "in action."

I need some sewing help!!

I'm in the middle of sewing a travel bag and I've hit a snag. (I'm also a poet and I didn't know it, apparently) I have all my pieces cut out, and I wanted to use interfacing on them in order to make it stand up a bit. I have some lightweight interfacing but the pattern says to use medium weight. So I dragged myself out on the bus in the snow to the fabric store and bought...Crafter's Choice something or other. A google search tells me that this will break down over time and is best for single wear things like costumes. Should I use it anyway since I probably won't be washing the bag all the often or should I use the light weight stuff?

I am not sure. I think it may depend on the weight of your fabric as to if you can get away with lightweight interfacing?

cat in the hat finished! ( thanks granna4679 for the file suggestion)

Good job on the outfit!

Here's all of them together:
th_aCIMG8348.jpg

Wow! This is getting more and more amazing. I like reading your description of how each outfit came to be! Good job! I can't wait until the next installment of your work!

Here is Noah's Goofy top.
th_goofy001.jpg

Awesome, just like the other shirts!

Hi all
It's been a while since I've been here, but I've been given a project and need some creative minds - and I knew I'd find them here! My dd7 is in a school play next month and is a porcupine! Any creative ideas for making a porcupine costume???

That's challenging. Somehow I have visions of foam "needles" being velcro'ed onto the shirt/pants. Something with the weight of pool noodles but a lot smaller? I am not sure if I am a lot of help here!

Okay, finished 3 shirts today. Here is Bruce, although I think he sorta sucks compared to yours. Thanks again for the image.

th_3ff77236.jpg


Not sure what happened with this photo... used my iphone. The shirt is black and Bruce is light blue :confused3


DS9 wanted Epic Mickey. Also weird photo, shirt is cobalt blue with a black applique.

th_62938b5b.jpg


DD11 wanted the little alien guy. She is such a goofball!

th_13fc53d6.jpg


Started packing today and realized DS9 didn't have any shorts that fit him. Luckily I called around and found that Old Navy had them in. Thanks for "cruise wear" as my Grandmother would call it! So much to do, I will never be ready and probably won't sleep on Thursday night!

I like the little alien guy! You did a good job on all three shirts!

Well....I actually sewed something this week after months away! I made this bag for a friend that is leaving for WDW Thursday....well actually it's for her DD.
th_210805040_photobucket_9470_.jpg

Such a cute bag!

Since Mallory got her package yesterday it's time to share pics of what I made for her Big Give:
A Minnie/Mickey patchwork twirl which is very similar to the one I made for my dd last year -- I made Mallory's a bit more detailed (shhhh! Don't tell my dd that!). Jen (Clairemolly) is going to make a coordinating t for it.
A hairbow
Coordinating bracelets for Mom and Mallory
Earrings for mom

th_001-1.jpg


I just did coordinating colors for the jewelry so they can wear them with anything. Madeline posted a really adorable pic of their hands together wearing the bracelets on her trip report.

You did an amazing job! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with the Big Give families!

On Monday afternoon we said goodbye to our almost 14 year old Springer Spaniel Pepper.

I know it will get easier over time, but for now we are really sad.

I am trying to focus on getting ready for our trip to Disney in 10 days and finishing up baby gifts and a customer order. Hoping for sunshine:sunny:

I am sorry to hear about your loss. :hug:


Wow, looks like you had fun with your embroidery machine!

Super cute projects being posted. Since my dd isn't wearing customs anymore I have gotten more creative in my sewing projects for her. My latest is a name applique pillow. She requested it be in her cheer gym colors of black, white and turquoise. I made hers as a test & now I have to make one for my new niece to be & 2 for her step-siblings to give as baby shower gifts....better get back to my machine!!
167809_1785879175550_1496654032_31866838_2735725_n.jpg

Neat idea. I am going to file this project under "potential ideas for Big Gives."
 

I have another project to share now that another Big Give package has arrived at the destination: a Lilo-inspired dress!

AbbysDressFront-1.jpg


It is an upsized Portrait Peasant, elongated bodice with an A-line dress hem. I digitized the leaf applique after studying pictures of Lilo. The back of the dress looks the same except it has 5 leaves instead of 6 (so I can keep track of which side is which!) The hoop marks seen in the picture came out in the wash, so they are not there when the dress got in the mail.

Now back to working on the next Give!
 
to Luv2DressEmUp - for the porcupine how about brown pipe cleaners, not sure how you could attached them, maybe cut small slit in a shirt and stitch them down? but they would be light weight and straight.
 
Cool!


I really like my serger. It came ready to use out of the box (it was all threaded) and I've used it to make dinner napkins, finish the edge of a "tablecloth" (basically just fabric with a finished edge) and to finish off seams. IT IS FUN to use.
Thanks :)
What serger do you have?

I love these! I posted on her TR but I had to post again. That twirl skirt is tdf!

Ms McKenna, love the appliques, they are awesome!
On Monday afternoon we said goodbye to our almost 14 year old Springer Spaniel Pepper.
Thank you :)
I am so sorry to hear about Pepper it is very hard I know. We said goodbye to our Zoe in Oct we had had her 10 years. It is amazing the hold our animals have on our lives. They give us so much love.

That is super cute! I loved y our other big applique tees but somewhere lost that quote.
thank you :goodvibes

Going to give Embird a shot...wish me luck.
Hope it went well! Since I did not hear! :confused:

I am sorry, I don't sell anywhere. I am considering doing custom orders only, but probably not until spring - since I have a lot on my plate right now. :thumbsup2

D~
Please please please let us know if you start selling. My youngest would FLIP over those outfits!

THis is so cute! :wizard:


THis is so awesome! Great job! :lovestruc



I just love these. I don't have the patience for this little work.

Wow! This is getting more and more amazing. I like reading your description of how each outfit came to be! Good job! I can't wait until the next installment of your work!

I :love: them, but what I think is really cool is how much you're enjoying making them. I think there's a lot to be said for creating things and how it affects our mental health.

Thanks everyone... I am having a lot of fun creating these!

I found the perfect Rapunzel fabric yesterday - I was going to do a different theme first, but then I found this fabric... so when I finish some other projects, I am going to start a princess theme - with a twist - of course.

I was super excited last night, because I did a "test run" of Snow White's sleeves - and they turned out FANTASTIC! I am so excited that I figured out how to do it on my own, and created the pattern to boot! :lovestruc So, I know that Snow White and Rapunzel will have the look I am going for. :wizard:

BOO--to the leg demise!

YAY--to the new purchase!!
 
OK, LOVE the jeans! I have a questioon though. When you do things on the legs of jeans like that, do youjust rip open the seam so it will go on the hoop? or is there an easier way to do it that I just haven't thougth of yet?

yes ( i learned) that you rip the pants leg open and hoop the jeans. i use old navy so i rarely rip higher than the front pocket. to do the back pockets you can rip them off and just leave the very top line stitched to the pants and hoop the pocket. I find it easier just to rip the entire pocket off and spray glue it to stabilizer and hoop that. whats another stitch or 2?

you live in N.O. so are u getting into Mardi gras over there yet? i am currently having the last of my ball meetings and my first ball next saturday. love m gras season!
 
Let me be the first to say SMFTPICQACOTA!!

:thumbsup2 Congrats on being the first!

Yes - download and install the free version of winzip.

Then when you double click on a zipped file and unzip it.

Then I usually grab the opened file and put it into a folder in my embroidery file.

Then I put my memory stick into my computer, drag and drop my embroidery files onto the memory stick.

Plug the memory stick into your machine and turn it on - you should be able to see them.......:surfweb:

Thanks. As you can see I need Dummies for Applique, but couldn't find it at the library.

SMFTPICQACOTA!!!

I need to be better about checking this thread more. It takes me an hour or more just to catch up. Plus now I am drooling over embroidery machines.

:thumbsup2 And I'm willing to accept a motion to change the acronym to TMTQ (Too Much To Quote) and we'll all understand that we've been in the same boat. Sometimes I'll see something I want to comment on, but feel bad about not commenting on the other 9 things that were equally wonderful.

I have another project to share now that another Big Give package has arrived at the destination: a Lilo-inspired dress!

Very nice.

What serger do you have?

I have Singer 14SH654. I got it from "Sam's store" right before Christmas with free shipping so it was under $200 even with tax.

Yes, sad they grow up and won't play with us. The pillow is very sweet.
Look at this great Cricut idea!! I found it over on Sewforum:

file.php
file.php


She got the vinyl from HHSupply.

And look at this one:

file.php
file.php


She used On the jeep and the front door & used Oracal 651 which has a glossy vinyl that is made for outdoor use and has a 6 yr. life span. Anything done indoor is Oracal 631 which has a matt finish and 3 year life span.

Now I think I NEED a Cricut!!
You are such an enabler!

Grrrr. I haven't figured it out yet. I download Winzip??? THEN double click on the file??? (I have Windows Vista, and this is my first time using a USB thingy if that explains anything :confused3 .)

I got Mickey and Minnie heads. I want to do the Minnie head to go with the patchwork skirt I'm working on -- when I'm not shoveling the driveway.
Winzip, super easy. I hear ya on the snow, I plowed for 4 hours yesterday, three drives.

And, because Max is growing so fast!

Since Mallory got her package yesterday it's time to share pics of what I made for her Big Give:
A Minnie/Mickey patchwork twirl which is very similar to the one I made for my dd last year -- I made Mallory's a bit more detailed (shhhh! Don't tell my dd that!). Jen (Clairemolly) is going to make a coordinating t for it.

I've been wanting to make a pillow like this for my niece, thanks for the inspiration!

I just bought my first design from heathersue:dance3:

how do I unzip it? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Double click to open the folder, then I always copy and past the actual design into a different folder. Caution, HeatherSue designs are like Pringles, once you pop, you can't stop! :laughing:

LOVE IT!! :lovestruc
 
Lydia looks so cute in that dress too. Hope you don't have to reschedule your trip (see how I said reschedule and not not cancel).

Thanks! I'm also hoping it's more of a reschedule! Corey, our son, won't be able to go if we go in May. That is just about tearing my heart out! Yes, he's 18, but we've never been on a vacation without him before! Funny, I wouldn't feel as bad if HE were the one leaving US! Just the thought of leaving my child at home makes me feel like I'm abandoning him! it doesn't help that he (Corey) mentioned that if we went in October, that he could probably go. He really loves Disney. And, another problem is, I'm now having a hard time finding cheap tickets! Which is probably compounded by the fact that I'm almost hoping to NOT find them!! :confused3 Uggh, this being a Mom stuff is hard!


I loving watching the dress go through the years! Both Lydia and Leighanna looked so cute in it!

Thanks Jessica! I just loved how pretty this dress is. Tom did a great job on it!


This so sooo sweet!

Thank you! It's one of my favorite pictures.

Now that Chelsea from the big give has received the dresses I can post them here! She looks SOOO cute in them! I love it!
Daisy: They're going to Tusker so I wanted to make this! I had these great fabrics from when I made my neighbors baby bedding (so cute too - need to post pics) and I digitized a daisy to go along!
Can't find a full front pic.

And the pink Cindy dress - she looks just like a princess in this one!

Thanks for looking! Jessica


HOLEY SMOKE GIRL!!! AMAZING!!!! I am so in love with these!!! The Daisy is just STUNNING!!! STUNNING!!! I love the unexpected mix of fabrics! It really is a work of art!

I love pink Cindy too!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Okay, that is a promise then! Love Lydia in the Alice dress!


YAY!!! I can't wait to see your pictures!!!

and, thank you!
Two days ago I got email from Disney offering a resort upgrade for my trip in 20 days. At first I wasn't interested because I'm planning to stay at Port Orleans Riverside for the first time. I was looking forward to trying POR (it would be my fifth different resort in five years) and I figured there must be a sales pitch for DVC.

I read through some posts on the Resorts thread and a bunch of people have gotten the same offer and there don't appear to be strings -- so I upgraded to Old Key West. I had my choice of OKW or Saratoga Springs, but I live 15 miles from Saratoga Springs NY so that didn't appeal to me.

Now . . .

Gotta figure out something to make for Khelsea's Big Give.

That is very cool!

My beginners sewing class went great. In fact it started at 10 this morning and just finished up a few minutes ago...sort of!

I had two students. One was my oldest daughter...and the other was her best friend and 2 of her 3 kids. (one of which is my youngest daughter's best friend)

We had a blast! The best friend had never seen a sewing machine at work so it was all brand new to her. She brought a packaged apron kit from WalMart. We got it almost completed before our 3 hours had passed! The younger girls made fleece blankets for Haiti.

My daughter raided some of my fabric stash and decided to make an outfit for a little girl at church who is having her second birthday later this week. She made an A line top with a pair of easy fit pants. She had to make a quick shopping trip to get some buttons, so it ran a little long....

My daughter is a great photographer and loves to blog...so once she blogs about her 'epiphany' I'll post a link to it. It was hilarious!

I can hardly wait for the next class next Monday. Of course, since the kids will all be in school, it should be a bit quieter!


Nini

I'm so glad you had such a great time!!!


When we homeschooled...we did a couple of weeks on sewing. We started with how they made clothes in Bible times, how it progressed to today, threw in some math and geometry into the mix, and ended with making a quilt. I had a blast, and my daughter learned a lot...my son was bored after the first few day...but he is learning disabled and there was a lot of reading involved in some of it....

There is a big group of home schoolers at church, and they get together once or twice a week...I might see about teaching a couple classes to them...hadn't thought of that!

You don't still have notes on that lesson plan, do you? That sounds like a fun thing to do!

I finished the little boys Chef Mickey shirts. EE is wearing her minnie dress and Noah is wearing a Goofy shirt but I need to buy a shirt to put the applique on. At least it is prepped and cut and ready to go :)

Mickey is Ty's his absolute favorite character. Donald is Jacks.

It looks wonderful!

So, I broke down and bought Simply Sweet last night...Holy cow. I am totally overwhelmed. I can follow a 50-step quilt pattern and ace advanced graduate school statistics but for some reason, I am just having major issues with it. I have to sit down with the pattern tonight and really dissect it. Do you actually have to have three layers with this dress? I'm not sure that would fly with my 17-month old DD.

I'm playing catch up, so I'm sure your questions has been answered many times! But, I'll throw my 2cents in anywho!

First, the dress is really easy to make! And, ALWAYS trust Carla!!! Do what she says and it will turn out great!!

Second, I have made this dress more times than I can count and have not once made it with three layers.


Ok, I'll try to catch up some more later!
