I LOVE these! What pattern did you use? The details are beautiful!
 
Hi Everyone! Haven't posted here in a very long while. I'm thinking of making end of the year gifts for the kiddies teachers and would like to make a folder/folio type organizer. Something to hold a legal sized pad is what I was thinking with a pocket?? I can't find a pattern for anything like that. Does anyone know of anything?

I'm also open to any other suggestions. I made tote bags last year and my youngest has the same teacher the oldest had so I need a new idea.
 
Have posted pics in awhile. Here are a few of the things I have done recently:
Shirts for my first big give:

I love the little Yoda!!!!

Here are some outfits I made quite awhile ago but never posted:
th_IMG_3081-1.jpg


Shirts I did for a customer:
th_IMG_2919.jpg

The bubbles didn't work out so well with my machine so I had to do them by hand. Haven't done that in awhile and it was hard to do such a small thing, so they weren't nearly perfect but the customer was happy with them.
(oops, I forgot to rotate the picture)

Great job on the outfits. Thanks so much for making the shirts for the Big Give. I am sure the family will appreciate them. DH walked by and said, "Yoda looks like Stitch!" (I actually agreed with him)

I need a great idea for thanksgiving.

We will be spending Canadian Thanksgiving at Disney

Hmmm, do you want something Disney inspired or just Thanksgiving themed? I wonder if you may find some ideas going back to thread 23 or so for last Thanksgiving?

I finally got to do some sewing this week-end. I don't think I'd touched my machine since Easter.

I made myself a purse. The Amy Butler's Blossom Bag. I love it.

I also finally got to make something for ds with CarlaC's Romper pattern.

I meant to make diapers, but I discovered I only had about 6in of elastic so I had to come up with something else.

Great job with the purse! Those dividers look awesome. The romper looks great too.

I also got a purse done recently. It is the Stella purse from ModKid (Patty Young) The inside is not as nice as the Amy Butler bag, so no pics of that, but here is the outside.

Great job on everything as per usual. The details on the overalls are great!

Hi everyone! I've been lurking here for a while. I've been sewing for years and have enjoyed looking at everyone's creations...whether for WDW trip or not.

Here is DS Jedi outfit....I made it for Halloween 2010...and after I let the sleeves out it will fit for our Nov 2011 trip.
th_IMG_3046.jpg


Base pattern was for a karate gi, I made up the boot covers, outer tunic and the belt.

Wow! You did a great job on the outfit. It's great that he will get 2 years of wear out of that!
 
This dress is what I spent my weekend on :) I am usually a knits kind of girl but the CarlaC patterns (and the price of fabric!) are luring me to expand my wovens skills!

HI Dis family! Its been so long since I have been on the boards! I miss you all. Now I just need to get back to sewing since my life has slowed down a bit.
 
Good to know b/c I have been having the same problem.



Thanks! I only wish I had a 6x10 hoop!

Sooo cute! Love the Barbie dresses and the Guppie shirts are so cute.

So much to do today! Just found out the grand Princess is joining us on the beach vacation next week... I haven't even started planning or packing. So unlike me! (I'm a bit obsessive about those things) now I have to add plans for a 3 year old.

No power today. A big tree fell this morning on 3 power lines. We have had sporadic power all morning as they try to fix it. Luckily I was able to get one cup of coffee during one of the times between the outages.

Had to cancel my sewing class today...so I guess I have no excuse to not get busy with the planning and the packing...except for the inability to do laundry...and not a lot of searching on the internet today. Phone isn't so good for that...too slow for me!

(of course the grand princess thinks it is like camping. The camping lantern is in the bathroom ... she WILL NOT go potty without a light! And she is watching Disney DVDs on the portable player. Just hope the battery holds up! LOL)


I am NOT a pioneer woman Nini

Wow...sorry you lost power today Nini. Sounds like you and the Princess made the best of it though.

Gorgeous...great job!

HI Dis family! Its been so long since I have been on the boards! I miss you all. Now I just need to get back to sewing since my life has slowed down a bit.

Welcome back!!
 
Hi Y'all- I've done stuff for gives but haven't posted anything personal for the last month or so- well, here's why: I give you... the never ending project. Four cross stitch embroidery designs w/ on average 44 thread changes and 75,000 stitches each. Ugh. I wanted something with different styles of santas for Epcot (we're going the week after Tgiving.) I'm hoping that by knocking out the most time consuming custom first the others will all seem easy, right? This took a total of about 20 hours to finish, including everything. Yeah, my grandkids better be wearing this someday LOL. DD will also be wearing this for Christmas at home- I def. want to get my full time's worth:rotfl:

didn't mean to cut off DD's face, still learning to use the new lens I got for mothers day. Also, DD will be wearing a shirt of some type underneath depending on the weather long or short sleeved. Also, she's planning to wear a petti underneath so it will make the skirt stand out more and show off the side santas a bit.

Thanks for looking!
Oh- the skirt is an insa, and the top I just made up.

THAT IS AMAZING!!! WOW! I know it took you forever, but it looks soooooo worth it!

Your bag is awesome and you have every right to be proud of the overall's detailing. They look fantastic!

Welcome and I love the Jedi outfit. Great Job!

Wow! I'm inspired! :) I've been making things for our kids for several years, and never really ventured to this thread. :confused3 I am NO WHERE NEAR at the same level, but do enjoy sewing. :lovestruc I made my first pillowcase dress yesterday and will have to post pics of some of the other things I've made. After reading the fantastic tutorial, I'm excited to try an appliqué for the first time. :woohoo:

Thanks for inspiring me (without even knowing it). :flower3:
Welcome! Can't wait to see your creations.

This dress is what I spent my weekend on :) I am usually a knits kind of girl but the CarlaC patterns (and the price of fabric!) are luring me to expand my wovens skills!

010-1.jpg
Beautiful job on the dress. I love the color you chose.
The more I see this pattern made, the more I want to buy it. It seems the possibilities are plenty with this one.
I haven't done anything really for the last 2 weeks (well we were in WDW for a long Mother's Day weekend...that was great). My DH is here for R&R so I have hardly been on the computer, let alone at the sewing machine. He heads back tomorrow. :sad1: I need to finish up a give and work on the Spring Festival and end of the year parties for school. Can you believe school is almost over? When does everyones little ones get out? Our last day is June 2nd here.
 
And for HEATHERSUE:

YOU ROCK!!!! I just transferred the file you sent me for my BG items to my thumb drive, plugged it in, and it stitched out easy peasy and looks awesome (well, it really doesn't look awesome b/c I used scrap fabric and green thread, but if I did it for real it's beyond awesome). I was expecting this to be a major ordeal and it wasn't. As soon as I'm done with these BG shirts I'll be placing a P&F order for sure for my kids!
Sounds like you and your machine are becoming fast friends. I can't wait to see all of your creations. And I agree with you about Heather - her designs are the best.

WENDY: For Memorial Day I would do red, white and blue. I made my dd this last 4th of July and never posted it, but I plan on her wearing either this or her USS Cole dress on Memorial Day:
th_005-3.jpg


I since put more white rick rack on the top and at the top of the ruffle on the shorts -- I of course made the outfit on the 4th b/f the party we went to and ran out of rick rack that day. And sorry if the photo is gigantic -- photobucket is not letting me resize right now! The shorts are denim shorts and I just added the ruffle.
Sorry, I can't help with your question about attaching the hoop because I have a different machine but my embroidery arm doesn't move when I take off my hoop. I think that part of the machine is very delicate and you should try not to move it manually (with your hands, have the machine do it). But again, I have a different machine so I'm not exactly sure. Also, I like that red, white and blue set.

:worship: WOW. Those santas look amazing. The skirt and top came out really nice (even with out the embroidery). Will you get a chance to make anything for your son or does he still believe that he is too old for customs? (I'm hoping he changed his mind since your other post about him not wanting custom t-shirts any more).

Here are some shirts where I just used heat n bond (not lite) to iron on the letters. I believe I did these right before we left. Nothing like last minute!

n575830326_4848444_1330.jpg


Aww, look at that adorable little boy. I am missing them right now. They went camping but I had too much work to do to go. On that note, back to the dresses!
You are obviously a better cutter then me because I would never be able to cut out those letters by hand.
I love these shirts. Would you mind if I CASEd this idea to make some t-shirts for my parents for our next trip? I think they would get a kick out of it since they are the Original Mickey Mouse Clubhouse generation.

Have posted pics in awhile. Here are a few of the things I have done recently:
Shirts for my first big give:

(oops, I forgot to rotate the picture)
I love your Star Wars shirts for the Give. I love that little Yoda too. The Barbie outfits are super cute.

ETA: just wanted to say I am not referring to Farbenmix patterns- they are excellent; and I don't mind too much that the patterns in sewing clothes kids love are tissue; after all, the book was like $20 with all the patterns, etc. in it. Nor am I referring to a sisboom pattern, any epatterns, or Carla C (she is a goddess of pattern design imo).
I have to say that I have had the same experiences. I guess that is why I stick with the Scientific Seamstress patterns. I was just finishing up a bowling shirt for my DS and was thinking to myself "I Love CarlaC".

I finally got to do some sewing this week-end. I don't think I'd touched my machine since Easter.

I made myself a purse. The Amy Butler's Blossom Bag. I love it.

Wow, I love that purse, you did a really nice job on it. Those rompers look so cute. I was at Target the other day and was thinking that it might be fun to have a little baby again and to dress them up in all these cute clothes but then I heard a baby crying in the toy department and I thought, maybe I should just get a doll. I'll have to find some pregnant friends to make things for instead.

I also got a purse done recently. It is the Stella purse from ModKid (Patty Young) The inside is not as nice as the Amy Butler bag, so no pics of that, but here is the outside.

th_010-1.jpg
Great job on the dress and the fabric is so vibrant.
 
Thanks everyone!

I LOVE the purse! It must have taken forever to do with all the dividers and pockets, but that's my kind of purse! The Romper is really cute too.

Really the outside is the hard part. There's so many little pieces to it.

Turned out fantastic! I have one upstairs that just has the outside done. I need to get my butt in gear!

If you have the outside done, it shouldn't take too long to finish. I know I spent more than twice as long putting the outside together as I did on the lining & the dividers.

Have I ever told you how much I love your avi? I really need to find a copy of that movie. I haven't seen it in years.

Here's my AG version of Donalds outfit. I really wanted it to represent something a real girl would wear. It's not a pattern, but it might help??

Very pretty dress.
 
I like your purse. Love those overalls too. The stitching looks great. And the dresses are very pretty.

Thank you

Your purse is really nice too! And wow on the overalls -- the detailing is fabulous!!! But my favorites are those dresses -- stunning! The fabric looks so silky!

thanks. The fabric is silky feeling, and fairly sheer. A little tough to work with, but I love the result.

I love the details too! Great job! And great job on the dress!! :)


D~

Thank you

I LOVE these! What pattern did you use? The details are beautiful!

That is an Ottobre pattern from the 03/2011 edition.

Great job on everything as per usual. The details on the overalls are great!

thank you.

Everything is really great. I especially love the overalls and the detail...wow. Did you use a double needle for them?

No, I did not, that is why I am so impressed with myself. I do have a double needle, but I can't seem to get it to stitch as well as I like. I think the tension is a little too tight sometimes and the 2 lines of stitching get pulled together a bit from underneath and do not sit as flat as I would like.

Everything is great but I just LOVE the girls outfits. They are so cute and the ruffle fronts are very much in style right now! Terrific job!

thank you.

Thanks for the compliments too. The embroidery is from Urban Threads.

My husband isn't just out of town, he's at Disney World for one of those pesky milestone birthdays. (I went solo in February.) We joke that maybe we'll go together someday. He did the Wild Africa Trek tour at Animal Kingdom in the morning and said it was amazing. He went to Boma for dinner, and rode Tower of Terror with Billy Gardell -- Mike from "Mike and Molly". Sounds to me like a better birthday than cold, rainy, gloomy New York!
 
QUESTIONS?

I know it's surprising, but I have a few more questions. First of all, to those who bought the hoops on e-:wizard: for the PE770 (Diane maybe???) would you mind PMing me the seller? This goes hand-in-hand with another question. I feel like I am wasting a lot of stabilizer when I do a 4x4 design, so I am hoping a smaller hoop size means less stabilizer used. Does anyone use their extra stabilizer that you end up cutting off for anything? I am using iron on pellon for my luggage tags and I wonder if I could just use my extra stabilizer for them.

And, any tricks to attaching the hoop? I am particularly having trouble after I trim my applique fabric and the embroidery arm is no longer centered when I go to reattach. The only hint I could find on an internet search was to back up the color so it centers and then forward the spool color again to return to where the design stopped. Does that sound reasonable?


WENDY: For Memorial Day I would do red, white and blue. I made my dd this last 4th of July and never posted it, but I plan on her wearing either this or her USS Cole dress on Memorial Day:
th_005-3.jpg


.

Andrea I purchased my extra set through Mr&MrsSewVac. And they do fit better than the one with the machine:confused3

As for your second question I too have a hard time putting the hoop back on if it is too close to the edge. My trick for this is I hit the adjust button, then the middle button showing the needle and then the Spool- button. This will usually bring it in better so I can put the hoop on. You just have to remember then to hit the Spool+ to get back to your next step.

Love your DD's dress.


WOW love that dress.

My husband isn't just out of town, he's at Disney World for one of those pesky milestone birthdays. (I went solo in February.) We joke that maybe we'll go together someday. He did the Wild Africa Trek tour at Animal Kingdom in the morning and said it was amazing. He went to Boma for dinner, and rode Tower of Terror with Billy Gardell -- Mike from "Mike and Molly". Sounds to me like a better birthday than cold, rainy, gloomy New York!

Wow, that sounds like a great birthday! Thanks for posting the pictures of the pillowcases as it reminded me to get some sewn up with the fabric I bought. You are so generous and your pillowcases look great!

I've been busy sewing a few things for my family and friends:

I made this dress for my niece for her Birthday (she got it about 2 months after her actual birthday, opps).

and a matching version for her bitty baby but I couldn't fit the applique on bitty baby's bodice.

I made this for my nephew and had to add the "Captain Jack" since his name is Jack.

I made these PJs for my DD using the easy-fits pattern. I really love how the applique came out. I've never done a "raggy" style before and it was really easy.

I made these t-shirts for Trace's Big Give

For his sisters:

I've been working on these ITH zippered bags for the females in my husband's family as we will be visiting them soon. I have about 6 or 7 more that I need to finish up but they are all stitched out.

I guess the boys won't be getting anything because I have no ideas for them.
 
This dress is what I spent my weekend on :) I am usually a knits kind of girl but the CarlaC patterns (and the price of fabric!) are luring me to expand my wovens skills!

Adorable!

My husband is out of town for the week so I cranked up the space heater in the basement and finished some more pillows for Give Kids the World.

Wow! You've been busy! I pulled out my one bit of solid flannel to make a set (it's a remnant so may only get 3 pillows out of it) and ds was hogging the computer so I couldn't get instructions (he came home from school b/c he almost fainted -- he truly is not sick). I e-mailed GKTW to see if we can use the marbled flannel like Jessica used or to see if we can use two prints. Flannel prints are on sale at Hancocks this week, but no solids. I may just use a Joann's 40% coupon to get some solid flannel. Of course, I also need to make my kids some t's, but I just can't decide what applique designs I want to buy. Most horses I can find are embroidery and not applique, but I will do some of those anyway. DD is a horse fanatic.

You surely have been busy!!!! I love everything. I adore the carriage so I'm sad it didn't fit on the tiny dress.
 
WOW you have been busy without him and how cool he got to ride with someone famous. Did he buy the picture from the ride?


I don't think so, but after the ride he finally got up his courage to shake his hand as they walked out together. He said Billy (see how I call him by his first name :) ) waited in line with everyone else. Other people noticed him, but apparently let him be.
 
You are obviously a better cutter then me because I would never be able to cut out those letters by hand.
I love these shirts. Would you mind if I CASEd this idea to make some t-shirts for my parents for our next trip? I think they would get a kick out of it since they are the Original Mickey Mouse Clubhouse generation.

CASE away! They were such fun shirts. We wore them to Mickey's Trick or Treat (DL version of MNSSHP) and got so many compliments on them.
