That is so cute. I love anything with Mickey Heads

Happy holidays!!

That is so adorable

Hey Everybody,
So Im totally just dropping in here like Chinese Eggdrop soup...I know! I'm sorry I haven't been around.

Welcome back. We all missed you.

I finally uploaded to photobucket

Here are my kiddos Thanksgiving outfits and Christmas outfits, a onesie and pair of shorts for my cousin's new baby for Christmas (she requested summer clothes). Sooooo many things I want to make and I am completely out of time! I haven't wrapped any gifts and still have orders to finish today and mail out tomorrow I desperately need a pause button!

Great job

.NaeNae if you are around what pattern did you use for those adorable capes you made?

I didn't use a pattern. I had purchased one at a craft fair several years back and I just laid it down and traced it. Here's some pics of one with a tape measure laying on it. Maybe you can figure one out.

I have a question for those of you that have made pillow cases. The directions call for a 9" piece of fabric for the band. After it's folded in half that makes it 4 1/4" finished. I need my band to be 6" finished to accommodate my embroidery design. Should I shorten the main fabric piece so the completed case is the correct size or should I just make the case longer than normal?

I thought I better get this one started since Christmas is next weekend!!! It's going to be a Vida soon, but I wanted to get the stitch out done. I LOVE machine embroidery. It does take some time with cutting the fabric and what not, but WAY easier than doing this design by hand last year!

Happy holidays!!

This looks really sweet.

Hey Everybody,
So Im totally just dropping in here like Chinese Eggdrop soup...I know! I'm sorry I haven't been around.

I need to get back in a sewing groove!
Here are a couple things I've done- really simple!
pillowcase pattern-

Some of you may remember the Christening gown I did for Hannah last year.
Today I was checking email and came across a comment on a photo of mine from THE Martha Pullen (Kira, are you back???) I about flipped the laptop in surprise- and what was more- she commented back in July and I never saw it! She came back to ask again if she could use the photo in her Newsletter!!!!And told me it was a masterpiece. THE MARTHA PULLEN! I'm practically squealing to my husband at this point EEEEEEEAAKKKK!!!!! I consider myself a mediocre sewer and I choose "easy" most of the time, so this will be my once in a lifetime in the limelight.
Over the summer Sew Beautiful Magazine blogged about a family heirloom that I posted, but made probably in the early 1800s.
This is the one she asked about- mine (peach embroidery) next to the teacher's (blue)

The pillowcases are really lovely. WOW, how excited to have your hard work recognized. You did a beautiful job on that Christening gown.

Yes, I used a medium weight water soluable topper on the fleece shirts. I put iron on stabilizer on the back of the fabric, then hooped a layer of tear away. Then I put some spray adhesive down, laid the fabric over it and then stitched a square over the fabric and the topper to hook it all together before I started stitching. This was a VERY stretchy fleece, so I was really worried!!! But, it stayed nice and stable!!!

Just had a wonderful night with family and Bff's....hated to see them go! Amy LOVED her blanket, but I didnt get a picture of her with it!!! Grrrrrr....

Thanks for the info about how you did the fleece. Glad you had a great night, at least you were smart enough to take a group picture.

Hi Everyone!!

Well, my Sunday School kids were in rare form today!! lol - they are so cute and excited, I just love it!! Half the class left after 1st service, so by the time I came down, we had this small but wonderfully funny, snuggly, happy and entertaining group! Notice Hannah and Tim are wearing their Christmas outfits!!!

Elizabeth sang in the childrens choir this morning

The kids must be so excited for Christmas. Love seeing your Christmas outfits in action. The children's choir is so cute.

So here are our pictures from our short trip:

We had breakfast at Ohana's:

Love all your customs, especially the Ohana set. The kids look like they are having lots of fun.

I have a question for those of you that have made pillow cases. The directions call for a 9" piece of fabric for the band. After it's folded in half that makes it 4 1/4" finished. I need my band to be 6" finished to accommodate my embroidery design. Should I shorten the main fabric piece so the completed case is the correct size or should I just make the case longer than normal?

I would just decrease the size of the main pillowcase fabric. The few inches you will need to shorten it really won't be noticeable.

Awesome about Elizabeth!

Ladies I have a FQ question. EE has seen the Olivia fabric and squealed but I cannot find a lot of it. I want to do the boys bowling shirts and her probably a simply sweet top and pair of ruffled pants or a knot dress. Can I make fat quarters work for this? I have seen a lot of those but no full yards? They are all in size 2 if that helps.

I love that there is even a hidden mickey on Mickey's butt! This is really cute.

Tims Toy Story Blanket is finally finished!!! I hope he likes it!!

His last name is Piasecki, and we call him Tim Pi all the time!!

Zoey gave her sniff of approval - then I had to get it out of her reach before she started to fluff it!!!! lol

 

[PurpleEars]

Wow, that is really amazing! Where did you get the design? And was it meant to be When You Wish Upon a Star as designed or did you position the notes yourself?

Thanks Since I only have a 4x4 embroidery hoop, I designed it as individual notes to go on the lines. I did lots of detailed notes during my "research and development" stage so I knew where to hoop when it came time to do this. I also have visions of doing a few more skirts with other well known pieces in the future, so the individual notes work well for me right now.

Thanks! I did do the design. I've recently taught myself to digitize and have really gotten in to it!

And I love the hidden mickey! I hadn't seen it - it's totally there by chance!

Great looking stuff. I too am looking for the pause button, and I just spent all day yesterday on the couch with the stomach flu, so that is one more day lost.

So here are our pictures from our short trip:

We had lunch at Hollywood & Vine:

Looks like fun. Oh, Le Celier, my favorite, I am so jealous.

I have seen a lot of those but no full yards? They are all in size 2 if that helps.

bowling shirts are easy with small cuts of fabric, cause you can just do them in horizontal blocks with some co-ordinating fabric. And with the smaller sizes, a single FQ would be enough.

And for a simply sweet, you could do it stripwork style for the skirt and use the Olivia fabric and some co-ordinating, or just do the bodice in Olivia fabric.

Tims Toy Story Blanket is finally finished!!! I hope he likes it!!

Awesome job Wendy. Tim is going to love it.

Not sure what you did wrong as I don't know snapfish well. But I also clicked thru and looks great.


Also, for the person who was looking for a cape pattern, one of the blogs that I follow just posted this on the weekend. http://www.diaryofaquilter.com/2010/12/super-easy-superhero-cape-tutorial.html

I am just loving all these customs posted in the last few days! I had a huge multiquote started yesterday and then my internet crashed. I am really loving on the quilts as I needed an idea for my 5yo. I found some cute princess cross stitch quilt blocks for the 3yo but nothing for my older and wasn't quite sure what to do. You guys always inspire me!

I also love, love, LOVE the Wish Upon a Star skirt. I may have to modify that a bit for myself. I love to have customs for myself too!

I'm looking towards some inspiration because I may have just booked two trips for this year - January and September. Obviously I'm still planning September's but I need to get cracking for January!

I'm working on some Gives too, hopefully all will be finished by the beginning of January. I couldn't find any shirts locally for Bryce's give so I'm hoping my Jiffy shirts order will be waiting on my when I get off work. I really want to get that out to them ASAP! I also had one of the very talented crafty gals on one of my other boards express interest in the Gives and disboutiquers, so I hope she joins us!

How's the Christmas progress looking? I gave up on getting the Woody and Jasmine outfits done by Christmas due to not finding the fabric I want locally. I'll make them for the kids after Christmas. I do hope to get the fleece blankets done for all 3 of them. I also need to do a fleece blanket for my SIL and a cross stitch for my MIL, but we are going to see them in January so I'm in no rush on those either. I wish I could have done more handmade this year but it just wasn't in the cards.

I am on a mission!

I have a Singer sewing machine, Singer serger, and a Brother Embroidery machine. I love all three of my machines.

However...I use my Singer machine to wind my bobbins for my Brother Embroidery machine. (the Brother doesn't wind them neatly) I also use my Singer to wind my bobbins for my Kenquilt Quilting Machine.

I have never had any problems until these past few months. I have bought a total of 5 brand new packs of bobbins. Of the 15 bobbins... 10 of them broke the first time I tried to wind them with bobbin thread! (I still have three in the pack and another 2 broke the second time I used them!) You have to understand that to keep this from happening, I have only been winding them half full and going very s l o w l y!

When I complained to Singer...they responded with...they are made over seas (China to be exact) and they have no control over the quality.....What?

My opinion is, if you put your name on the product you are standing behind the quality. But not Singer.

I know it is not a lot of money...but I now am out of bobbins and don't have time to go buy any more! My option at the moment is to un-wind some other bobbins...and re-wind them with bobbin thread!


Is bobbin thread so much stronger that it automatically tears up the bobbins? Is there something in the bobbin thread that is causing this? The bobbins are just breaking ... I know you can use paper bobbins (I guess they are actually cardboard) in my quilter, and it works best with one side pulled off...but I am scared to try that in the embroidery machine...
