Aaaahhhh! We leave in an hour and a half to go pick up the kids from school and head out to WDW!!!! They have NO idea we are doing this - I've been sewing and packing in secret for so long and now it's finally here! I can't wait to see their faces when they realize where we are going! I'll try to post pictures when we get back.

Have a wonderful time.

Howdy all! There has been some great stuff on here as always! I have had sewers block for awhile now but I forced myself to sew this weekend. I think my sewing block was out of fear of the feliz! I copied my first pattern onto freezer paper as well. I did have some trouble with sizing but it turned out pretty good. Here it is:

Now I need to work on the smaller version for her sister. Everything is cut out so I just have to sew.

Wow, I just admire all of you who have girls and do those ruffle dresses. It looks just super.

These are so amazing! Are they your own design or is there a pattern somewhere? I would love to make some for EE for this spring she would love them!

Valentine Table Runner to show off today. (my own design, I could find anything I liked out there in cyberspace)

Very cool! Both that you are already prepared for Vday and the runner!

Is there an easier way to do ruffles or a machine or something that helps? I cannot get it at all. I have tried but they just make me insane.

I have been working on my first ever skirt.

I have also discovered the machine likes to go faster than I had been going with it.

I am hoping to figure out the gathering part of the skirt tonite.

I have another project I am going to work on at my dining room table while the kids do homework.

I totally love that Christmas dress.

Thanks! I have a ruffler for my machine which makes ruffles much quicker. Which is great because I ruffles!

Bad Momma reporting in! Went to BBB and CRT yesterday...and ...I...forgot...my ...camera!!!!!

The weather has been beautiful so far. A cold front is coming in today. We hit 80 yesterday...and only 65 today! Tonight we go to Akershus. Hopefully I can actually get some pictures tonight of the girls in their dresses.

Strangely, I have seen relatively few customs here this week. I did see 2 little girls with Minnie skirts and shirts today, but their mom bought them off ebay. Of course, I really need to get a picture of the Minnie bag I made my DIL out of Carla C's Ruffled bag. Each day we have at least 20 people complimenting us on her bag, and asking where we bought it. Today someone asked me where I got the pattern, so I pointed her to YCMT.

It is official. My DD10 will never wear another custom after this trip! She absolutely HATES wearing them now, and her attitude tells me she is really going to be a problem child when she gets to the teen years! But, I didn't pack her anything else to wear, so she is stuck. She keeps asking me if I can call someone to drive down and pick her up! Poor child, being forced to enjoy Disney!

Question for those of you who use Embird

I am relatively new to embroidery machines and am trying to find something that is relatively inexpensive, I can expand as needed, etc.

At this stage, I really just want to be able to take the fonts that I buy, string them together into words, and embroider/applique the words. Can I do this with the basic module or do I need one of the add-ons?

Thanks!!!

I saw Tangled a few days ago and I loveed it!
Has anyone made Rapunzel's dress yet?

 

[miprender]

Hey everyone! I missed the move! Life gets in the way sometimes!! LOL!

Here are some Thanksgiving pics!!! I made Isabelle's apron/top, her pants, and Gabriel's pants.

This is our newest family member, Gryffindor!!

The pictures are too precious. I can't believe how big he is.

HI!!!!!!

Just a quick drive by...we are getting ready to go to Animal Kingdom. The past two days have been as magical as they could be. Everyone is commenting on the customs and the matching T's...and I did manage to get the new Caral C bag (ruffled) made in Minnie colors...and everywhere we go we get tons of comments!


I have to say, I have seem the castle Christmas lights a million times in pictures and videos, but it is just not the same as in person!

(can you tell I am a little bit excited?)

You guys have really been chatty since I left...5 pages to skim through! LOL

(and btw..I use flannel for faces on applique...and I used cotton batting for the dwarfs's beards! LOL I like a bit of dimension!)

Can't wait to see in person either. Only 8 more days

THanks everyone for your advice. That is what I thought but was confused as it said people that looked at the 770 also looked at the Ped basic.

So do you have the exact machine? Did you get it from Walmart? One of the reviews on the Walmart page claims that she thinks this machine is inferior to the same machines sold at authorized dealers. Could that be true? My local shop sells the PE770D for $1500. When I mentioned I could get it without the disney designs for half the price, the owner looked at me like I was crazy and changed the subject. I was really hoping to purchase a used Brother PR 620 but it just isn't in the financial cards at this time. I do feel like I am settling with this machine and hope I don't regret the 5x7 hoop. I have to keep reminding myself what I really want the machine for is to embroider names, etc... I got sucked into the idea of the PR machine being able to embroider hats and heavy canvas items.

I purchased this exact machine last month from Walmart. I also have the Innovis 900 but it only did the 4x4. So far the new one has been fine. Walmart was the cheapest and with $.97 shipping who could beat that deal.

Is there a type of thread the Brother sewing machines like?

Since it is not liking the Coats thread I have here and I am sick of it breaking.

You ladies were such a help with the embroidery thread so I figured I would ask

My Innovis 900 did not like the Coats & Clark. I spoke with the brother dealer and she said I should use Gutterman(sp) and I haven't had a problem since then. For the embroidery thread I used the one that brother recommended. It is called Pancester(sp).

Have you looked at Stitch Era? I got it for the cost of shipping a little over a year ago. I've heard you can get it for free now. (You have to be connected to the internet for it to work.) You can do lots of great stuff with it, and it comes with fonts or you can digitize your own. I love it and I barely know what I'm doing!!!!

I have a type of block -it is called "I HAVE to finish this order before I can work on what I WANT to do" I am almost done the outfit too which makes it all the more frustrating.

I am very similiar.. I won't let myself start something new until I finish what I am working on. I am making an outfit for DD4 and I hate it. Its a dress with 9 buttons, UGH!!! and the Precious dress (top only) to under it. I added 2 inches to the length of the shirt and its still too short. She will only be able to wear it under the dress so I am bummed and don't want to finish it. BUT I MUST!!!

These are incredible. Looks like you started with a tank top or did you make that too?
