Great looking Vida. And if the snow does not go away, just put a long sleeve shirt and some leggings underneath.

Thanks! I am more worried about church being cancelled. School has been out since Tuesday here and the roads are covered in ice.

I just love that pink poofy dress, so girly! The vida with the ruffles is so pretty.
Ds love the mario outfit.

I dragged out my computerized Singer and viola' the ruffler works perfect once again.

Almost done with skirt two and onto skirt three, then the shirts.

I have a couple of questions about my Brother 770. I have been playing around with it and I seem to have accidentally deleted the color listing. This is for all of the patterns, even the ones I put on my USB port. So I have no idea what colors I am supposed to use when. Does that make sense? They were listed when I first got the machine. Has anyone else had this happen?

Also, is there a way to stitch out an entire phrase? I'm sure there is but I haven't figured it out. I can just do one line at a time and I know I will get the spacing all wrong if I keep doing it this way.

I hope all of this was clear. It's early and I havent' had any coffee!

OK...after you have coffee, relax. it is easy to fix. On the screen where you would normally see what color it should be stitched in...it will be showing either the amount of time it takes, the number of stitches it takes, or a color number. Touch the button that looks like a piece of paper. (Middle dark button on the display) Then press the forward button a couple of times as it cycles through all the options. You will see the color name come up.

Easy Peasy!

If you want to do a whole saying, you have to get a different program...on the machine itself you can only do one line at a time. Others here know which ones to get...that is beyond my expertise!

PS...let me know if you need any more help!

Here is my first Vida. I enjoyed working with trim, since I never have used it before. I think I will getting more for our next Disney trip! Our church has Tailgate Sunday every year and you are suppose to wear your favorite team. We are not into pro sports so we always wear our Aggie stuff (my husband and I are both Aggies). My girls never have anything to wear so I decided to make something this year. I still have to make a smaller version. Now I hope the snow goes away so she can wear it!

oh this is just adorable. I love the vida I am thinking I need to get this pattern going to show dd and see if she would wear it.

Finally found the perfect pattern and got brave and decided to cut my princess toile. This was my first ever pattern that was not a CarlaC pattern so I am pretty proud of myself that I made it through it! I did make some mistakes but I was able to fix them at least

From the front. I had bought a custom a little bit ago and she sent me some extras. These bows were some of the extras even have castles and crowns on them they are perfect I was so excited.

Then the back.

is the back rows of elastic or shirred? I am scared to try shirring, but rows of elastic I think I could manage.

 

[T-rox]

does anyone know what kind of skirt pattern this is? i recognize the top as a vida . the skirt is elastic waist, drop waist panel with 4 "panels" making up the skirt. the bottom edge of the panels are scalloped and there is an attached underskirt. do you think this skirt pattern is someones original or do any of you know where i can get ahold of a pattern like this? tia

That fixed it! Thanks so much. It's so much less frustrating when things are an easy fix!

I would love to know the answer also...this is super cute!

I finally finished Mario outfit for Valentines day! I hope he likes it and it fits - that little guy has been growing like a weed!!!!!

Who is having a superbowl party this weekend? We are having some company over - doing chili and baked potato's and pre snacks (I dont know how to spell hoursdeorderves - lol) and dessert. How bout you guys?

We love Mario too!!!
I think we are having a small party maybe. But had the NE Patriots made it to the superbowl like DH thought we would have been having a HUGE party.

oK - so I got my jumbo hoop and I have no idea how to use it?????? Anyone???????

Are you talking about the repositionable one?

Here are the dresses I have made for dd this week. I am a novice at sewing and my machine has a problem, but I persevered!

I had leftover fabric so I made this one too. She wouldn't take the leggings off

Thanks for posting. You did a great job

I didn't even know you could erase that. I am glad that Nini helped you out. I will have to remember that in case I accidently do that too.

As for phrasing I now Wendy uses the free Stitch Era and I just received mine in the mail but I have not used it yet.

I have been washing yards and yards of fabric for our trip. I had promised myself that I would have the outfits planned by the end of January. Ha - that didn't happen. I got really sick and had to have 2 emergency surgeries. Then, recovery with a 10 week old was not very easy. Luckily, the older 2 helped a lot, and my parents were here to help, too. I really need to get crackin' on my planning. The time is flying by. I booked airfare a few days ago, so now it feels "real".

Hope you are feeling better and YEAH to booking your flights now time to get sewing.

I don't know why this quote didn't appear with the others. Anyway. . . thanks for the reply. It seems like there may be two schools of thought on machine applique - and it sure seems a LOT easier to me to make a template versus stitching and trimming. From the very limited stuff I've done since getting my machine, I can see how trimming takes a lot of skill and patience.

The other way seems like more work to me. It really is not that bad to trim. Just make sure you get a pair of scissors that you like and trim away.

Here is my first Vida. I enjoyed working with trim, since I never have used it before. I think I will getting more for our next Disney trip! Our church has Tailgate Sunday every year and you are suppose to wear your favorite team. We are not into pro sports so we always wear our Aggie stuff (my husband and I are both Aggies).

Great job. How was it making the Vida? Was it difficult?

 

[WDWAtLast]

So many beautiful creations! Love the Minnie AK Vida and the A&M Vida!!



I need new serger thead - do you recommend poylester or cotton??

[WyomingMomof6]

You're very welcome...but I have to comment on your siggie...looks a lot like the ages of my kids...33, 28, 27, 10, and 9!

Nini

Lol, I had my first when I was 19 and my last when I was 39. How's that for family planning or lack thereof? It's a lot of fun, though, having a second family. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Oh, if there was a way to erase things accidentally, I will find it! Thanks for the info on the Stitch Era. I'm going to check that out.

 

[ms_mckenna]

Thank you! Not sure how I missed you yesterday?

I finally finished Mario outfit for Valentines day! I hope he likes it and it fits - that little guy has been growing like a weed!!!!!

Taking a break from ruffles for a few days. That is 2 feliz's and 2 vidas with butt ruffles all in a row. I absolutely love the ruffles on those 2 patterns though.

I love, love, love this dress. That toile has always been a favorite of mine and it looks sooooo pretty on this little EE of yours! BTW....congrats on the photo shoot deal. Can't wait to see the pictures!

I can imagine!!!
Thank you! I will share them when they let me probably wont be till fall though.

Sooo pretty. I go back and forth about this pattern. It does really look nice! I just wonder if I could modify the simply sweet halter to do this.

Thank you! Honestly you probably could but idk?

They all turned out really cute!

Very cute!

Thank you.

Beautiful. The model, the fabric, the sewing.

thank you!

Love this!





Both of these are great!

Wish I had more time right now because there have been so many great things posted lately and I want to comment on them all. But I have to get my kiddos off to school.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I just love that pink poofy dress, so girly! .

Thank you!

Oh heavens no not shirred! It is rows of elastic SO much easier!!!

 

[ncmomof2]

Great job. How was it making the Vida? Was it difficult?

Thanks! It wasn't bad. It would have been quick if it wasn't for the ruffles. But I love ruffles! I have to figure out the V in the back. When I turned it over to top stich, I had some trouble. Other than that it was fine.

cute mario- boys are hard for me to do. superbowl, yes apps and cheesy potato soup and mile high peanut butter pie. having some family over, gonna turn the spa on and race the 12 steps in the cold and feel warm and cozy in the spa while the boys watch the game

Here are the dresses I have made for dd this week. I am a novice at sewing and my machine has a problem, but I persevered!
it doesnt appear that you are a novice. these look clean and crisp. the model is gorgeous too!

she thought she was SO funny lol

I had leftover fabric so I made this one too. She wouldn't take the leggings off

Nini

Nini, that explains why I get along so well with you from the start!

I have 31, 15, and 7. The 7 year old was a total shock, my tubes were tied, or suppose to have been! But we love all our kids and wouldn't have it any other way.

 

[tricia]

Thanks! I am more worried about church being cancelled. School has been out since Tuesday here and the roads are covered in ice.

ah, that was the worry. Well, I hope things aren't cancelled on you.

I would say that you could do something like this easily without a pattern. A good place to start would be Leslie's tutorial for a double layer twirl skirt.

Finallly found it. http://my-sweet-sunshine.blogspot.com/2009/05/okey-dokey.html
