and I am done with everything for our trip. Unless I decide to do one or 2 more shirts for DS but at this point I am not thinking I am going.

Here are some of the things I did this weekend and today.

Christmas Skirt and Shirt for DD

What a pain in the rear that skirt was I didn't realize the fabric had stretch so the thread kept slipping out when I was doing the gathers. She loves it so that is all that matters.

I will post the other things I did for DH and I tomorrow. Heading to bed now.

Good job with those outfits. Have a great trip and take lots of pictures!

Finished up the last of my 'has to be done before Christmas' stuff. It is an Avalon jacket from the sewing Clothes Kids Love book. It is reversible and goes with the skirt and shirt I posted last week.

Ok so this is my first time with applique, and I did it on my sewing machine. I drew the design from a coloring book picture picture online, and cut it out so its not perfect. I need to practice, but think it will be wearable for my son. It will be a cute shirt for Magic Kingdom:)

That was your first time with applique?! Wow, they look very nice. I would never guessed that it was your first time. Keep up the good work!

Great score.

I think we are all wishing our first applique could come out that well. Super job.
 
:banana::banana:Gotta go back to the little mermaid quilt I am making my sons 17 year old girlfriend but had to post something just so I can see my ticker!!!!:banana:
 
I am loving all of the clothes you've made for your trip, but I really like this shirt. My teen is intrigued with Oso, and he might wear a small polo like this. I was trying to figure out how to make him something Oso since we're doing H&V but not make it too kid-ish.

Thank you. My little guy is 3 and loves Oso. He loves collared shirts so it has been challenging figuring out spacing for the designs.

You have done such a great job on everything you have made. I hope you are enjoying your sewing? Good luck and have fun.


Thank you I have always wanted to sew. My grandma was a seamstress and I just kick myself for never showing an interest when she was alive.

We leave tomorrow morning and I have done all the sewing I am going to do until we get back. I do have 2 presents to finish but thankfully I can wait until we get back
 

This is off the sewing topic so please forgive me. I think some of you do digital scrapbooking. I am trying to get started doing it using photoshop elements but I am having a hard time figuring out that software. Do any of you use it? Can you recommend any good tutorials for it? I am so confused!

I tried digi scrapping when DD was a baby and it just drove me batty...lol. I am such a tactile person. I just played around with PSP until I got the look I wanted, but I'm too impatient for tuts. :rotfl: Did you ask on the scrapbook board? I'm sure some of those lovely ladies could point you in the right direction.
 
I don't know that I will be back on here before the end of the week, I have a list that is not getting done as fast as I would like, the kids are bouncing off the walls cause not only is Saturday Christmas Day but tomorrow we can start tracking Santa and now we are expecting SNOW!! :scared1: :lmao:. I have no pictures to show you cause I have nothing done yet :rotfl2:. So I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! safe travels to all who are driving or flying to their holiday destination and for those who will be is Disney for Christmas wish I was there with you.
 
Thank you so much for all of your help and inspiration. We were in Disney at the end of September.

I made some iron-on tshirts :thumbsup2:

My daughter and I are planning a girls weekend at the beginning of April and you have given me LOADS of ideas. :banana:
 
I had a multiquote going and my 2 year old killed it so I am just going to have to say everything looks awesome :)
Is everyone ready for Christmas? I know we are as ready as we will ever be! I have been baking and that is about it lately.
Has anyone ever made a quilt out of baby blankets? My youngest son is obsessed with Gymboree baby blankets but they are to small for him now so they don't cover him. I have 12 or so blankets so I was thinking of making the little 3 bigger blankets. Any ideas?

It’s really the only way I can scrapbook right now and honestly I think I like it better than printing and adhering everything.

Just a quick note here...my DIL saved all of my GD's receiving blankets. For her 1st birthday, I made a quilt out of them for a double bed. I just used 6 inch squares and sewed them together in no particular pattern. The found a coordinating flannel for the backing. Used a cotton batting, and it turned out to be a very snuggly quilt.

I like using no particular pattern for these memory type quilts. It puts all the design in the actual fabric and not in the pattern of the quilt. (but that is just me!)

Any quilt pattern can be used for this type of quilt...just measure the amount of each color fabric and have fun...one way is to play around on graph paper first!

Did you find Stitch Era to be fairly easy to use? I'm thinking about downloading it and giving it a go. I have slight ADHD and I'm worried that I wouldn't be able to focus long enough to pick it up!

I actually picked it up fairly quickly. I use Heathers designs a lot, so I knew how I wanted mine to work out. I thought it was going to be much more difficult than it is. Now, I just work on my designs as I sit in front of the TV. It is time consuimng, especially if you are a little OCD and want to make it perfect (which is a good thing if you're going to sell).

I say download it and give it a try!

There's a great group of digi-scrappers over at MouseScrappers.com and you can guess what we're scrapping! ;)
 
Hi all

I'm a long-time lurker, but have learned a BUNCH from y'all. And I want to thank you for the inspiration. You've inspired me so much that I went out and bought a Brother PE 770 embroidery machine and spent a bunch on money on designs from Heather Sue. Now I've read on your threads, that it's best to have prewound bobbins. I've spent the last hour searching the internet for class 15 bobbins to fit my PE 770 and have had no luck! So my question is, where is everybody getting these bobbins?

Ok, I'm back again! I was able to get a bobbin wound on my machine but now it won't lift off the post! I think I've tried everything short of sawing the post off the machine. Customer service is closed and I was hoping to be able to sew tonight. Does anybody have any ideas or had experience with this happening?

Thanks!:scared1:
 
Hi Everyone!! Sounds like everyone is almost ready!! Im getting ready to head back to the quilt zone!!!

Hey, on the MAW board, people were talking about these for kids with GTubes - I bet we could make them, what do you all think? Wouldnt it be awesome for some of our Big Give kids who have tubes???

I suspect you have to move the bobbin winder back away for it to release. As long as it's against the little circular thing it should be locked on. Did you have to slide the bobbin winder over toward the little circular thing before it would wind? I don't have that particular machine but I know on my machine I have a lever that I have to push toward my bobbin and when it is over against it then my bobbin is locked on. I have to move it back away for it to release it.

Clear as mud right?:lmao:

Have fun on your trip. Your creations look fantastic. Your grandmother must be channelling through you since you seemed to have a natural talent.:goodvibes

That is too cute. I wonder what the dimensions are.

As for Bryce's family, I can not stop thinking about him and his family.I have been following along in the journals and it is just so heartbreaking.:sad2:

I think they'd be super easy to make...miprender, the very begining of the website says they're 2-2.5" in diameter. I bet I've got a drinking glass about that size to trace out the circle. I made nursing pads pretty much the same way, using terry cloth & plain diaper flannel, zig-zagged or serged around the edge, they just didn't have the cute design on the front, I needed them a little more unobtrusive than these. :rotfl: It would be a good way to use up scraps from any cute print, and I bet old towels could be used for the terrycloth liner...it would be sandwiched between the fleece and pretty top fabric, so colors wouldn't matter at all. I wonder if any of the digitizers here could come up with something that could make the design work around the center hole...these covers look little enough that a 4x4 hoop would be the perfect size.
