[MinnieVanMom]

Not sewing related but I am going to a give a way this morning at the old school. They are giving away books, desks, chairs, white boards, etc.

I want a proper school desk and chair for DS so he can focus better when doing his homework. I plan on going early and waiting in line so I get the desk.

Good luck finding things you can use!

Sheri - that is just AMAZING!!! Are you going to wdw tomorrow? still lovin the RV?

Thank you, but I'm not Sheri. I wish I was going to WDW today and I don't have an RV

These are too cute!! What is in the hoop?

Thanks! In the hoop means the embroidery machine does most of the work. I bought the file thinking it was fully in the hoop though and they do require a little bit of sewing, but nothing too terrible. This is what they look like in the hoop...

Here's the heel pieces and one of the toe pieces still on the solvy stabilizer

Speaking of thread . . . Didn't someone mention thread was going to be 50% off at Jo Ann's? Does anyone have the info on that? TIA


I finished up a Cinderella today. (Actually I did two.) My youngest is going to keep one. She picked out the fabric at JA's not long ago.

So pretty!!

These are so cute!!! Where did you get the design?

Thanks! I got them from Planet Applique, the directions are a little hazy in places so if you buy the pattern PM me and I'll fill in the gaps for ya!

Question

Ok - so for the wedding we are attending in the Netherlands for my BIL and to be SIL - I would like to make them something nice as a wedding gift - sewing related. I've done numerous google searches and I've come up empty handed. Does anyone here have any ideas?



D~

I've done 2 sewing related wedding gifts; for one, I did 6 reversible table runners- one for each month, representing the different holidays with one with their house colors and their monogram in the middle. For the other I did a love wall quilt with their ned and wedding date. HIH!

HELP!! and QUESTION

So I am trying to do my first embroidery today. Its a fill in of a minnie head with bow and its really loose and the bobbin thread is showing through. what am I doing wrong? I have stablizer attached to the hoop and the shirt on top of it thru the hoop too...


Think I got it maybe but i still see the bobbin thread coming thru...maybe i will just cheat and change the bobbin to match

OMG I am an IDIOT forgot to put on the embroidery needle thingy...sorry!

 

[cogero]

Most times I have problems with the thread showing it is because my shirt is not hooped correctly.

The other times it is a problem with the bobbin not being wound correctly or in the bobbin case correctly.

Good Luck

I love it!! I am hoping to make one before my sept trip. However today I bought fabric for 3 epcot cris cros tops(me and 2-DD's), 2 MK cris cros tops and one Twirl( 3 panel) long skirt for my Cinderella loving DD(7). Once all that's done I will have my purse project!!!

Thanks. It was a good project for me because I don't have kids at home, although my older son just emailed that he'll be home for Mothers' Day. (My younger son will be in the ocean!)

Let me know when you get your certificate and membership card - I am still waiting for mine... I sent it in weeks ago. I hear they're running slow.


D~

Well that's disappointing. I'm not very good at waiting.

That was a great idea for that Big Give. Thank you so much for posting the directions!


The bear looks really cute!


I really like your version of the bag. I am still waiting for the membership card myself, though I suppose we can blame it on the border crossing!

Thanks . . and I wonder if they ran out of membership cards because so many people have been making tote bags lately.

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a bit of inspiration...please

We are going to the Hoop de doo review in September and I wanted to made my DD6 a dress, has anyone else made anything for this show?

They got lots of attention from the cast.

We met the redhead (can't remember her name) on our way back from the bathroom with the girls. She talked with them for a long time. At the next break she brought Flora to chat with the girls, so take her to the bathroom when they are about to walk around the room.

I have a feeling this is more "shower" than "wedding" but it intrigued me so I added it to my bookmarks.

Don't know if anyone has ever made one -- it's the topsy towel.

Monogram a towel set? Could you make table runners? Monogram pillowcases and sheet set?

I did a set of monogrammed pillowcases for friends for their wedding, they (she) loved them. Monogrammed towels were also good!

Thanks for all of the ideas everyone.

I would love to monogram something - but I don't know how. I could probably find a tut somewhere. I don't have an embroidery machine though - maybe I can do it by hand?

Also, in doing some research - I've found out that the Netherlands has a park (rumored to have inspired Disneyland) - I've been researching it a lot today - and it looks genuinely fantastic... even has the Dutch version of fantacy land! Here's the link (I tried to read the Dutch version and couldn't understand... I finally found the English version - LOL) http://www.efteling.com/EN/EN-Home/thepark.html

I've done seasonal table runners (1 halloween, christmas and easter) for 1 wedding and 1 shower last year and they were both very will received.

Need advice:

Oh, and I will just say ahead of time, that I am not trying to purchase anything from anyone. I have my own embroidery machine....just need advice on what to charge.
How much should I charge to embroider a "Little sister" onesie and a "Big sister" tshirt? What do you guys usually charge? I have been charging $22 for my tshirts but don't know if that is too much or if I should be doing less for onesies? Advice?
Thanks!

By the way, I LOVE the smurfette dress! I loved the smurfs when I was younger. In fact, I had a smurfette cake at my 5th birthday party!

What I usually do is do a search on etsy. You can sort them from lowest price to highest price and you can get a pretty good feel for the prices. What I always look at is how many sales the store has had at that price. MOST of the time the lowest price ones have the LEAST amount of sales. People believe that if you charge to little for what appears to be the same thing, that there must be something wrong with the lower price item.

That is neat... I saved it to my favorites.

I was kind of thinking of a kitchen theme... I've found some patterns for potholders, aprons, table cloths, napkins... I am just afraid that they are too "shower" like and not so much wedding gift like. I do know that they have signed papers for their house and they officially own it in July... so these things might be useful??? I just don't know.

Another question (sorry)

Also - my BIL's In-laws are graciously opening their home to us for 4 days while we are there... I also feel like I should bring them a gift of some sort. I always feel like Europeans are so proper and I don't want to offend them for not bringing anything (we have met his inlaws on several occasions - and they are always giving gifts to my girls). Any ideas here? I was thinking maybe a coin purse for the Mrs. - have no idea for the Mr.

I truly appreciate any insight you all can give me... I only have 8 weeks to get this all done.

I think this is exquisite. I'm doing one for my nephew this August:

I think I'll do mine in a white-on-white style and frame it. You could also use it for a ring bearer's pillow, a bed pillow, etc.....

That is absolutely stunning, a perfect idea. I am not quite sure I would get it done on time though - since I don't have an embroidery machine - I would have to do it by hand. Honestly - I am really not that good yet. LOL Maybe if I practice my technique???

I have soooooo much fun making this little Smurf dress. It's so itty bitty!!!

I also finished the first of two Star Wars sets tonight.

Both so cute! Love the smurfs! All my Vidas are so tiny - I had to size down the pattern to fit my daughter for our first trip at 17 months and I still use it! It's going to be sad when I have to go up a size - both because she's getting bigger and cause I'll have to use more fabric! I can get away with a yard easily!

Can't wait to see more!

 

[erikawolf2004]

These are super cute...I really need to make some of these for my DD.

Again you did a great job, I love looking at your work-everything is beautiful!!!! Who makes the pink, red and blue fabrics on your tiered dress-it is soooo pretty

Ok, here is the actual book

And here is the journal I made

I plan to do cardstock bookmarks with their names to slide in the pocket next to the pencil. Blake is going to sign the first page of each journal with a "Thanks for coming to my party". He's really excited about it and loves how they turned out.

These are really cool....it will definately be a favor that they remember and hopefully use!

Just out of curiosity what is your stitch count? I had a 1500 and put over 2 million stitches on it in 9 months so I just upgraded to the 6000D. I hope it trucks along for a long, long, long time! I have about 400,000 stitches on the new machine, and I've only had it 6 weeks. I use it everyday.

I know how to operate my serger now! Yahoo! I made DD a gown to test it out and it was so fun, and it is so nice not to have to zig zag everything!

Very cute! Makes me want to go to Hawaii...not that it takes much

I made my boys some shorts and embroidered t-shirts for their Easter outfits They like the outfits, and even asked to wear them again today...

These are adorable....I love to see fun stuff for the boys.
