Hmmm, Tangled fabric?? I haven't seen any, but I'm not saying it's not out there!

Pretty sure I have seen Tangled fabric at Joann's.

I bought the Innovis 1500D back in June, and have since put 2 million stitches on it. I had to take it in because it was acting a little off and the technician fixed it in less than 5 minutes (something about the pre-tensioner). Anyhow, when he found out home many stitches I'd put on it in such a short time frame he told me I needed to upgrade before I burned out the motor in the 1500. He recommended the Quattro or one of the PR series. I have an Etsy shop and embroider a lot of onesies. I do not think I need something as industrial as the PR, so I am leaning toward the Quattro.... anyone have any suggestions? Alternatively, I can just keep my 1500 and stop embroidering for others. Such a tough decision... my DH says to do whatever I want... but he thinks I'd be happier with the Quattro. Anyone have a Quattro? Or a PR series? Help me decide!

Hi everyone!

just a quick pop-in...
I wanted to show you Isabel's blanket from our Disneyland trip in December. Grandma made the blanket before we left out of scraps I had. I haven't had time to post any of our pictures on here or even on Facebook, but I do think you should see this special blanket.

This is Isabel. See her hand? She put in directly on the fireplace insert/wood stove last night. Second degree burns, and of course after her trip to ER she HAD to see Auntie for a sleepover

this is the blanket without Isabel on it.

The characters were so good about signing it. I kept it folded and held it taut for them. Princesses loved it, Mary Poppins came to us specifically so that she could sign it, and Bert did the most amazing thing...we were so in awe, I cried. It was such a beautiful moment!

Yes, he took our sharpie marker, took the blanket from me, and DREW Mary Poppins, all the while telling Isabel that he used to draw on the sidewalks of London all the time.

One of these days I'll post more of our trip and Bel's customs. This is all for now.

I may need to make a trip to Joanns! I hardly ever get there anymore. (gas is just too expensive!)

Oh WOW!!!! WOW WOW!!!!! That is so unbelievably cool!!! That is just so neat!!!!!!! What a wonderful moment and memory!!!


And, poor Isabel!!! I hope she heals up quickly!

So all the recent talk about the Minnie inspired Rosetta bag sent me into a park bag design mode. I spent the last week working on this as I wanted a number of mods - such as making it into an across shoulder bag with a zipper. It was mostly based on a 2 patterns and I made a number of changes on the go. The bag was quite comfortable to wear when I tried it on, though I still need to test with items I normally carry in my park bag.

The bag on the door knob:

The inside of the bag with pockets:

You can't see the zipper very well but there is one to close the bag. I am one of the people who insist on having a zipper as I am afraid things may fly out during rides. Also as a city girl, I figure it would be more difficult for someone to pick pocket if I had a zipper to stop them (and hopefully they think the bag is too cute to cut it open for my wallet).

Thanks for looking!

I really like that! I so want to try a zipper someday too. I think my mom has done them so perhaps if I can't figure it out she could help. Do you use a special type of glue stick for fabric? My Aivilo tote just has a magnetic snap which is fine for what I use it for now, but agree, if going out to a place like Disney that's crowded with people and having to take a bag on rides I would only use a zippered bag.

I FOUND YOU!!!!

Planning a DL trip for August. DD will be almost 7. She likes the twirlie skirts like at Children's Place (3 horizontal rectangles...does anyone know the math? I totally remember something like each long rectangle length is doubled from the previous tier.???) I got a Babyloc Lauren Serger from Christmas and havent tried it yet. CANT WAIT to try it out!

I want an easy peasy peasant top pattern, a horizontal twirlie skirt pattern, a more modest halter or sun dress pattern, simple shorts pattern for Norah and my DBF's 4 yr old son. I'll look on YouCanMakeThis.com...Hopefully I'll find some cool EASY stuff.

Do you mean a patchwork twirl skirt? I make my successive layers 1.5 times the prior layer and get plenty of twirl.

Look at Carla C's Portrait Peasant, Simple Sweet dress, and Easy Fit pants (for the shorts). All are easy

Enjoy your new serger! I know I would!

Doing a fly-by, I'll come back and catch up tomorrow (I'm going to bed - DD didn't sleep at all Friday night, DS' birthday party was yesterday afternoon, immediately followed by another birthday party and I'm still exhausted even though I had two long naps today!) but I wanted to post this picture of a little outfit I made for a birthday present for yesterday. The patterns are from Little Girls Big style (although I altered the pants a little) in Dr. Suess fabric.

Now that is ADORABLE!!! Thanks so much for sharing the picture. I'll have to check out Little Girls Big Style, though my little girl is getting big!

You guys - should I go for that Serger???? The person will sell it to me for 150 and it comes with 2 extra feet and thread. She used it for 2 hours. She is a college student who was taking a class but dropped out of it......any thoughts before I committ? She sent me a ton of pictures of it, and its super clean inside - so I think she's telling me the truth. She will also give me the original receipt so I can continue on with the 5year warrenty.......thoughts?????????

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/art/2234235215.html

My ol Walmart singer just is giving me nothing but trouble anymore, even after it has been serviced.....It almost always comes unthreaded at the needle, and I've used a bunch of new needles and it cant seem to go through more than 2 layers without having a fit anymore......??????

What would you do!!!???? HELP!!!!

Wendy, I know what you really want is the whole package so you can get the size 4 dress form!

I think it seems pretty legit -- especially if she is willing to give you the receipt. Bargain with her a little more -- tell her the most you could spend was $100 and then maybe she'll meet you half way at $125. Worth a try!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! How long do second burns take to heal? I had a minor cut on my index finger and am griping b/c it's impacting my sewing (normally I'd not sew for a week, but working on a Big Give so have no choice).

The quilt is awesome! I love what Bert did! So you took the whole quilt rather than squares? Not a bad idea!

It sounds like a pretty decent deal... I liked someone's suggestion of paying with Paypal - if they'll let you.

Hi Wendy! Glad to see you over here again! Can't wait to see what you make for Norah and when did she grow up! I am pretty sure she was just 3 or 4!

This is adorable! I am making the girls patchwork twirls for Read across America on Wednesday. Hope to finish them up today.

I just opened another tab... I do believe you may be right!!! Thank you Carla C!!!!!! Now to find Tangled fabric???

I'll probably be here as I struggle through learning to serge. Oh wait, my fabric store gives free lessons since I bought it from them

Be prepared to be wow'd

That being said, can you "sew" with a serger? Or do I need to tune up my trusty Brother machine?

Joann's has Tangled fabric. I bought it a while ago when it first came out. They only have one cotton print and then flannel & fleece.

You guys - should I go for that Serger???? The person will sell it to me for 150 and it comes with 2 extra feet and thread. She used it for 2 hours.

I think it sounda pretty good Wendy. Paypal would be great too.

 

[jeniamt]

Sorry I can't help. Are there any reviews out there. One place to look would be patternreview.com. The hoop sounds amazing though!
!

All I can say... is if DH says go for it... I'd go for it.

I have a Viking Platinum, love it. If the Ruby is anything like it, I would say go for it. I have no regrets about buying my machine.

If I remember correctly, the Ruby is still relatively new. I looked at it at our local dealer but it was out of my price range. If your DH says to o for it, I'd go ahead and get it!

I can't help you with the Viking Ruby, but that embroidery hoop (assuming that is the full size for embroidery) sounds amazing!

Thanks for everyone's replies. It is a pretty new machine, it was introduced in August. So there is not a lot out there about it. The reviews I have read seem to be people who have test driven it and are drooling over it but haven't actually bought it. I barely slept last night thinking about it. Besides our house and cars, its the largest purchase we have ever made. Seems a little crazy for a hobby. Might need to find a way to make a little money off it. As I was finishing Kade's give last night, I just kept thinking how nice it would have been to have been able to embroider the boys' names. Next give!!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Ok y'all, I think I'm "back" mentally for this. I just quit my horrrrrible job so I think while I'm looking for a new and improved job, I can sew for therapy (better than eating compulsively )

I'm going to take my Brother machine in for servicing...I found an old man who repairs them for cheep and he seems honest and kind.

As for my serger, the Lauren, (LOL), I'm going to sign up TODAY to learn how to use her (it). I think I know, based on the cheesey (and I mean cheeeeezeee) DVD that came with her (it). But it does a lot of fancy pants things that are a little intimidating.

Oh, I spent a good 2 hours last night on YCMT...my wish list is long.

Thanks for the Welcome Back yous! Yes Theresa, I got your ESPN message!!!

 

[dianemom2]

I could use some help with ideas. My sister in law has requested that I make a "mermaid" costume for my niece. She wants to give it to her for her birthday. I don't think it has to be a real costume. I am thinking of maybe some kind of sparkly mermaid tail and maybe some kind of top to go with it. Any ideas? I don't have too long to whip this up because her birthday is in a couple of weeks and I have already committed to a bunch of other projects including some of the costumes for the play at dd's middle school. I just finished 3 starfish costumes and 3 jellyfish costumes!

Awesome quilt. Love the sketch by Bert, that was so sweet of him. And ouch for poor Isabel, hope she heals up quick.

 

[abfight]

I'm going to try to catch up - forgive me if I forget somebody.


abfight - how are you doing after your gallbladder surgery? I hope your recovery is going well. I had mine removed about 5 weeks ago and am feeling great. Finally getting back to normal. Hope it's going well for you, too.


Thanks for checking on me. Doing better I'm almost 3 weeks out and was suprised that it was as bad as it was. I thought I'd be back to work the next week but I had to take off two, I also thought that I'd get a lotta sewing done while I was off but felt way to crappy. I'm glad you are doing better

Nini

I can't post pics yet (and it's been awhile since I posted, just happened to be checking in this morning--hi everyone!), but I made a Princess Jasmine outfit for my daughter this weekend. I used CarlaC's easy fit pants with elastic at the bottom of the legs, and her Portrait Peasant for the top. I did the cap sleeves and the longer top. I don't like the belly baring look, so I made the top long enough to hit the top of the pants, and just did a normal hem, but I would think you could do elastic at the bottom of the shirt as well if you wanted to.

Mine was for a dress-up outfit (V is going through a dress up phase) so I just used a teal satin material to make it simple, rather than anything sheer over another layer.

Colleen

EDIT--I take it back, I think I can post pics. Here's Victoria as Jasmine. Obviously really simple, but I considered attempting a cute Jasmine applique on the top. And I didn't realize it was Nini I was replying to, I'm sure you'll do something AMAZING like you always do!

 

[abfight]

Once again I am trying my hand at pics lets see

well all I can see is a red X but if anyone else can see it This is my dd 6 before her first day of kindergarten. I know I'm super late but just seeing if I can this pic thing down.

Okay I am at work and I was going to print out the transfers for Lhea's give but my mom and I are putting our office back together because it was painted last week.

 

[abfight]

I got it I got it I got it
I finally figured out pics so here we go non of this is new but there will be more to follow

This is my little Repunzel she is 6 now but was 5 in this pic. Her hair just looked so pretty that night I had to take a pic.

This is a ruffled halter that I made for my 2yo last year. I love the way the ruffles look but hate that I do them all by hand
