When you Are making a patchwork twirl- do you topstitch your layers?
Hi Everyone!
Ugh - what a day!! I thought I would get to pick up my new serger and get to work - NOT!!!
So, we get a call around 2:30 from our cousin asking if we can take the 3 kids so she can take her older son to the hospital. He had gone to the ER yesterday with a very swollen hand. Matt is 17, and thought maybe he broke it punching his friend in the elbow. Well, no break. So they gave him a bunch of antibiotics and sent him home telling them to go to the dr's office the next day. So the dr got them in a 2pm, and sent them directly to the ER. This time instead of the local hospital, they took him to my hospital (duPont) and they admitted him and put him on IV antibiotics. He is in isolation because they dont know what kind of infection he has, but they drew lines on his arm (like those snakebite shows) so they can see if the redness and swelling goes down!! Poor guy!!!
Tomorrow Billy is going to watch the 3 kids (that should be good - wish I could be a fly on the wall) hahaha!!! And we will visit Matt and eat dinner together at the IHOP across the street(free pancake day tomorrow). Whew - hopefully the swelling will go down and he will be discharged in a few days!!!
Say a prayer for my guy if you can!!

Sending Prayers up Wendy!
You guys are so talented, I love watching what you make. I have gotten the "bug" and now have 21 tye dye mickey shirts, and 7 more Simply Sweets to finish up by March 28, and no days off! I am nuts! And then I bought more fabric today but it is cute!
For Animal Kingdom! I am making it into two dresses for two adorable identical twins, 5 years old. What fabric should I put with it? Or should I just make pillow case dresses?![]()
Also got this for Sea World:![]()
What do you think would look cute with this?

Where did you find the zebra fabric? It's adorable!

This one I made for a Big Give. I took the Simply Sweet and added on sleeves, sort of. I took a rectangular piece of fabric, made a caseing on the top and bottom, put in elastic, then sewed it into the sides of the SS. This one is my favorite Jasmine I've done. (Easy Fit pants)

That's really pretty -- I've not seen that pattern at all.Gianna was a mermaid for Halloween 2 years ago. We made this from a commercial pattern, but it was fairly easy to do. The hard part was getting our dog to wear his lobster costume!

That is gorgeous! I don't recall ever seeing that photo in the past. So glad you posted it.This is the Jasmine I did for a Big Give. I guess it was ok, I know they recieved it, but the girl got sick again, and mom wasn't able to finish her TR, so I don't know if it got worn.

The top is a modified Simply Sweet and the pants are Easy Fits with leg elastic, I don't think the pic goes down far enough to see that. The sparkly fabric wasn't itchy, it was softer than it looks.
Keeping Matt in my thoughts. At least the infection was caught right away. My sister ended up in ICU with renal failure for over a week with an infection that wouldn't go away (it wasn't caught right away and was actually still a mystery as to why she ended up with sepsis).Hi Everyone!

I love both fabrics! Pillow case dresses would be cute for the zebra if dresses are required. I think a variation of a SS top and pants with the zebra in ruffle trim would look great, but that certainly is not a dress.You guys are so talented, I love watching what you make.

I do just as Jessica does -- I topstitch the serged edge on each square and then I top stitch once I sew all the layers together too -- so I topstitch both vertically and horizontally.When you Are making a patchwork twirl- do you topstitch your layers?
You guys are gonna get tired of me, since I finally figured out the pic thing.
This is a tink simply sweet that I made for my daughters third bday and for a trip to disney on ice.

This one is for my niece to wear to the show. I made them both shorter than a dress so I still need to finish a pair of ruffled jeans for both of them
thanks for looking

My son goes to a Special Pre-school for kids with Autism and PDD-NOS (which is what DS has) for March. They have March Madness where they do all kinds of little things for the kids.
today is National Pig Day and they were supposed to wear something pink. Well I can tell you DS has nothing pink (DH would freak) so I made J a Hamm shirt last night.
Here are some pictures of him. He was not being very cooperative this morning

Quick question. Is there any way to tell the stitch count of a PES file? Should my machine tell me? I have a Brother.
