I have an SE400 by Brother which is a sewing embroidery machine with a 4 x 4 hoop.

It is a great little machine and fits your price range.

I used to lurk on this thread regularly, and I've just got caught up again. I'm always in awe of the beautiful things you all make. I wish I had time to do more sewing! I've got a long list of ideas from this thread I've just decided to buy my first serger and was looking for recommendations. Does anyone have a machine they love? I was looking at the Brother 1034D on amazon. It has good reviews and won't break the bank.

I just want to thank everyone for helping with Kades Give - the grandma totes are now spoken for plus some Agent P shirts for the guys!!!

If anyone would like to still help out, the airplane busy bags and the tie dye shirts are still not spoken for, so if your still itching to help with this loving family come on over!!

You are all amazing people!!!!!!

I finished my nephews birthday present. I can't believe he is 8 yrs old today! He has a fascination with vehicles and he really like construction vehicles but I couldn't find any fabric so I settled on race cars.

This was a very easy tutorial I found here

She uses flannel for the road, I used cotton and a piece of ribbon for the lines and I think it works just fine.

Great Job. Happy Bday to your nephew

I love this site and this thread! I have been sewing since I was a little girl. I am currently working on outfits for DLP in March! I can't wait to post them on here!

can't wait to see your pics too!

I bought the same one in OCT from HSN and took it out of the box a month ago. I was really afraid to even attempt to change the thread but it really is a great machine and threading it now has not been a problem. It also came with the gathering foot and I tried it and it worked great. I just love RUFFLES

Well I finished my 1st Vida. I had trouble with lining the bodice, but I finally figured it out. The only thing I still need to do is but the elastic under the arms but then I will be done!!.

Here is the front:

And of course we got to have Mickey:

You are all amazing people!!!!!!

I will glady do the airplane busy bags for both boys especially if someone can point me to a source. I know I've seen them before, and I've been searching since you posted the request a while ago, but now, of course, I can't find any airplane bags that people have done in the past. I've searched page 1 links, but there are a lot of them (and I don't see airplane busy bags specifically) and with the ship date fast approaching, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel.

Wanted to share with you about Khelsey's bibs as I told Shelby the issues we had with them being thick -- her MIL makes them and they are just a single layer hemmed on all sides. The one she had on was flannel so just a good single layer absorbent fabric is all! She seemed to like the terry underside on mine though, and I think she will hopefully be able to make all of ours work.

Thanks. One more mystery solved. Next time I'll know to try flannel!

Cute. I hope the birthday boy liked it!

I am looking for a pattern to make a zippered bag or tote bag to carry in the parks. My mom insists on a zipper. I'm not crafty enough to figure out how to add that to an existing pattern.

You may want to try looking at the bookmarks from Page 1. I remember seeing a bag with zipper from the bookmarks. I know I printed a pattern from the bookmarks list. I am also in the process of frankenpatterning a bag with zipper (since I also insist on a zipper!), though I don't think mine will be done any time soon given the list of projects I have on the go.

I am looking for a BEGINNERS embroidery machine. Nothing more than 3-4 hundred. any suggestions? thanks

I think you can get a Brother with a 4x4 hoop around that price range. I got my 270D for about $300 from Amazon a few years ago.

That is an amazing dress! Hopefully the dress will get a chance to shine in May!

 

[Diz-Mommy]

HELP PLEASE! I'm looking all over the bookmarks, and I know I saw it there once when I wasn't ready to start the project and now I can't find it

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the tutorial on how to add a sash/bow to the Simple Sweet?

TIA!

LOVE! Is that the Breann dress I posted you were going to try or did you modify the simply sweet?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I love the blue vida and the beautiful colours of the dress. You did a wonderful job.

The IASW dress is amazing! Wow, that is a dress for the ride if there ever was one.

I did snowboard today. I DIDN'T hit my head. I only fell a little once. There was 12 inches of new powder and we were waist deep getting face shots all day. Now I am exhausted and going to bed.

Hi Everyone - can you please say a quick prayer for my little buddy Kade? I had emailed his dad a question, and he came back with "We are in the ER with KADE!!!!" Please say a prayer for this little guy - he has no reserve, so any little thing can really take a toll on him!!!! I'll keep you updated!!

Thanks for looking!

Jessica - one word - AMAZING!!!!

People have just filled little bags (even paper ones) with fun things for the kids to do on the trip. Sticker books, little trinkets and games - Im even wondering for Jackson if one of those car cozies would be good for his bag...for Kade it would be more books, music, etc and both boys LOVE candy - there is more on his Big Give Thread about ideas....THANK YOU!!!!

Finally finished the Rosetta bag for Korissa's big give - mom wanted the large and it is HUGE!!!! I could easily fit 2 Zoey's in there!!! lol....

Oh no, prayers for Kade and family!!!

The bag is great Wendy, it sure is huge isn't it?? I was shocked when I finished mine, but then I loved it at the parks!

Jessica, the small world dress is beautiful!!

Love the light blue vida, beautiful colors.

Your daughter reminds me of Ariel!

 

[billwendy]

THanks Guys!!!

Kade's Daddy said that he was having trouble breathing! Has a terrible cough - maybe croup or something....poor little guy!!!

Thanks for the comments on the bag! Mom loved yours Ellen!! Since they are so into animals, I thought I'd try to combine the disney/animal thingi and came up with that. I tried to do the strap like yours ellen!!!

Has anyone seen any disney/mickey beach appliques? I want to make something for Kade and Jackson, and the beach is the only thing that hasnt been covered....ideas?
