Okay. Let me start off by saying that I am not a sewer but I REALLY want to learn so I keep stalking you guys in this thread lol! For right now I just have a question. I am on the hunt for a bag that I can put an iron on transfer image on. I want one of those cinch style backpacks (know what I am talking about?) but I can only find them in nylon which you cannot use with iron ons. Anyone know of a pattern to make a bag like this? Would it be fairly simple?

Question... I would like to modify the Simply Sweet by shirring the back. This may be a dumb question but do I shirr it before I attach the back to the front? What about the multiple layers? Should I use the back pattern for the halter style??? So many questions, please help!!

Welcome! I taught myself to sew thanks to these boards about 3 years ago.

As for the pattern, there might be one in the bookmarks on the first page...if not you can always google cinch sak tutorial.

I am new to this board and have enjoyed reading and looking at all of your creations. It amazes me how creative you all are!

I have bookmarked a few sites that were mentioned that have machine embroidery designs to buy and I'm wondering if there are any more that I'm missing? So far, I have: KiraLynB on Etsy, Heathersue on Etsy, and bowsandclothes.com

Also, I've been looking high and low for this machine embroidered design:

etsy.com/listing/27961311/strawberry-shortcake-applique-machine

Have any of you seen another site where I can buy it?

Thanks,
Jill

It looks like you can't buy it through that etsy shop...not sure if she has another shop/website or not. For example, you can buy from Heathersue on Etsy or through her facebook page.

First of all, welcome!!
As far as the backpack, I would search for drawstring backpack tutorial. I know I found some that way. I would think it would be a fairly easy first project, as long as the instructions are fairly well written.

I would shir before attaching. I would use the pattern for the halter back but make sure there is enough length to hem the top of it, only one layer I think, hem the top and then shir down to about an inch or so from the bottom. Then attach to the front bodice by opening out the front from the lining, line the back up with the front right sides together, then sandwich between the lining layer and the front and stitch, so that the seam is inside. Then if the back is longer than the front, trim it. That way you don't end up to short after shirring.

Hope some of that made sense.

You are brilliant! I found an easy one using a pillowcase right off the bat! Once I try to make I will post a pic (if it isn't too embarrassing!) Thanks!

Here are my Seuss loving girls! I wasn't there this morning to do hair & take pictures before school so I had to wait until after school.

You can use iron on's on the nylon backpacks. In fact tonight at my daughter's cheer gym they were blinging & decal-ing a bunch of them using a commercial heat press.

hey everyone. Just wanted to show my daughters stuff off. My sister made it for her. So not me. But it is what she wanted.

that is her Miami mouse clothes, Lizabeth had to have something as well. Hubby and I have a shirt as well.

that is the one that she picked up to look close to Tink.

This is her Minnie tunic. You can't see her leggings but they have bling on them. She is so ready to go.

Promised I would share.

Tink & Minnie are very adorable! But I think the Miami Mouse is fantastic. I am not a big fan but I live near University of Tennessee and tons of people would absolutely love that in a UT print!

Off Topic-
The salesman said he felt the Kia Sonoma was the best minivan out there...
Do any of you have exeperience with this one?
I would like to try and find something used, with low mileage if possible.

We have a Kia Sedona and LOVE it! We got it almost 8 years ago and have 82,000 miles on it. We did have to replace the air conditioner this past summer but after 7 LONG, HOT summers in the deep south I wasn't too surprised.

My friend had a horrible experience with her Kia, it had a lot of problems and the dealership was less than helpful, not sure if this is an isolated incident, or dealer specific, but something to look out for.

We haven't had that experience. Now we did have one issue with the dealership over what we considered a bait and switch. It was handled and we go to a different dealership.

The family has got the package so I'm posting what I did for Kade's Big Give. I had a card written out for them and Alexa had drawn a picture for both boys and I packed up the box and mailed it without them. Oh well. This is the most fulfilling thing I've done for quite some time.

Connor was really jealous of the Buzz and Alien shirt so I will have to make him one some time. He told me I never make him anything anymore. Hmm, does he not remember the pirate outfit from last week!!!

I LOVE all the Seuss outfits that have been posted!

I can't remember if I already commented on this on the Big Give board, but you did such an awesome job. That is a lot of applique work, and everything came out so great. I am just in awe of the talent and generosity of everyone involved with the big gives, and I am proud to be a part of it! Nice job!!!
