So I made my first ITH project from PicklePie. I made a cell phone case for my friend and one for me but I just skipped the steps about the strap and button closure.

I couldn't believe how easy it was and it only took about a 1/2 to make.:goodvibes
I love the ITH bags. I don't have the cell phone design but I do have the zippered bag and the purse. I find it takes longer to cut out all the pieces that I need for those designs than it does to sew them out. Your cell phone cases look great! I'm sure you will enjoy using it.

That's very sweet! She did a fantastic job! Glad that you are back on here with us and that you've been able to see your son's family again.

I love the cell phone cases. They are so pretty.

:goodvibes Thanks

I had checked some places, but I cannot remember if I checked ebay or etsy or not. However, I did just check them and I did find some. I'm not sure if it is exactly what everyone else has used in the past, but I think I gonna try it.... I'm really just needing it to applique a mickey head with.
FYI, in case anyone else is looking for this type of fabric, it is called International Flag of Nations.
Thanks again to everyone for helping!!
Shonda

I checked ebay too after writing that but didn't find anything. But keep checking because people are always posting their fabric on line.:surfweb:

Welcome back and Elli did an awesome job.

I love the ITH bags. I don't have the cell phone design but I do have the zippered bag and the purse. I find it takes longer to cut out all the pieces that I need for those designs than it does to sew them out. Your cell phone cases look great! I'm sure you will enjoy using it.

:lmao: Actually I was going to say that too. The hardest part was cutting the fabric:rotfl2: I have the zippered bag that I want to try next.
 

Awww, I Love Ellie's shirt, very cute and what a pretty smile. Good job Kiddo!

Think I am going to add Passport covers, Park bag, and Cell phone cover to my list.....
 
Hi Everyone!! Happy New Year!

I havent had much to say or sew for a bit, so have been in lurker mode. But I have to say - you are all just so amazingly talented - I just dont know how you do it all!!!!!!!!

But I wanted to say Hi, and that Im going to try to sew a bit this weekend. Tim and Elizabeth are going to Bible Snow Camp, and I was thinking of making them a pillowcase and PJ's for their little weekend away - and of course I will include Hannah too!!

Also, has anyone seen any free ipad case patterns out there? We got my mom an IPAD for Christmas and she'd like a cover with her initial on it. With a name like Corrie, you cant ever find things with your name on it, so she gets excited when I embroider something for her.

:wizard:
 
About a year ago, someone on here had used the cap hoop on their 770. I bought the hoop and forgot about it. The other day, when I was making out my Jiffy Shirt order, I needed a couple dollars more to get the free shipping, so I added a cap.

Now that I am thinking of using it...it doesn't look like it is going to work. I've searched for the post...but it seems to have gone into never land.

If it was you...can you please either pm me or give me a few pointers...I've got to be doing something wrong!

Just a quick post before I head off to work. I finally made Alexa some matching pajamas for her AG dolls. The easy fits sew up really quickly and I used newborn onesies for the tops. Brilliant idea, Michelle!

Sorry for the poor quality pic.

I made Connor some too but he wouldn't model them for me. They are not horse-themed. My husband hasn't managed to turn Connor into a little cowboy, in spite of his best efforts.
 
Hi Everyone - we have a new big give. Please come and help this little girl to have double the fun because she beat cancer not once, but twice and she is only 6 years old!! She would LOVE a real Rapunzel dress to wear to CRT and she is girly twirly!! Mom loves the kids to matchy match too!!!

I shared photos of my cap holder last year, but I don't think I had any helpful hints to go along with it and it doesn't fit my PE-770.:sad1:

(Helpful reply, right?)

My FIRST ever Feliz. I have had the pattern for about 3 years and just now had the guts to do it. What I found was it is not really that hard. Just extrememly time consuming (sep without a serger like me). I don't want to make another for a while :rotfl2:

But my DD LOVED it and was spinning around the house all day. That made it all worth while.

Great job! It looks so beautiful!

Wow, so much cuteness! I especially love the Feliz. I'm working on the courage to do my first too, and I even have the fabric for it and a deadline of Feb 5 (when we're going to see Sesame Street Live) so I'd better get on it!

I'm not even coming close to keeping up here right now, between the holidays, my son's birthday, and getting ready for our trip. DH bought me a new sewing machine (Janome DC2160) for Christmas and it is getting a workout!

The first thing I made with it - Christmas jammies for the girls (ignore DS and his duct tape dynamite :rotfl:)

2131207650051332420S500x500Q85.jpg


A purse for DD in our high school's team colors and logo. When I finally get an embroidery machine I am SO digitizing this because I have orders for 2 more for friends already.

2596761210051332420S500x500Q85.jpg


And a park bag, also for DD10 at her request. I improvised this one and I love how it came out - the zipper pocket is just the right size for her iPod Touch and has a button hole to run the headphones through, and the slip-in pocket holds her Epcot passport and pen perfectly. The only problem is the measurements on B&N.com for the Birnbaums weren't accurate, so that doesn't fit as well as it should!

2823491000051332420S500x500Q85.jpg


The outside is completely blank white canvas, because DD wanted an *autograph* purse.

2541097650051332420S500x500Q85.jpg


We leave in 13 days and I have 7 more projects on the to-do list. Wish me luck!

Good job on the PJ's and bags. Congrats on your new machine!

Here are a few more items I made for our upcoming trip. Today is 30 days out!

First is my "day bag" for the parks:
388193_10150666771280828_715130827_12024940_1085385161_n.jpg


Next is a tinkerbell outfit for my DD:
403125_10150667483035828_715130827_12028925_767303525_n.jpg

I'm kinda thinking of painting a tinkerbell on the front of this. I have a very small embroidery machine, but it only does 4x4, so I don't think that would be big enough.

I have a couple of short sets I made for my DS also, but they really aren't anything exciting. I am so glad I have a DD! I have 3 boys, and last was my girl, and she LOVES for me to make her dresses. Hopefully I will have time to make her a few more. :goodvibes

Thanks for looking.:thumbsup2

I think a 4x4 should be sufficient for the top. I like the Rosetta!

Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year, I hope you all are doing well.

I have not posted here in forever, but I am so glad to be back. :love:

You guys have posted so many amazing projects. I still don't have my brother PE770 but I will get it eventually. Trying to convience DH to let me fly off island alone to get one - its just cheaper. I paid more to ship my Csi6000 than the machine actually cost last year.

We are heading back to Disney in August and I have started makeing my wish list of outfits for DD. This year its all about conquering my fear of applique, and getting an organized sewing space put together...it's good to be back among my enablers....:cool1::cool1:

Welcome back! I think we may be there at the same time!

I just ordered some Disney fabric and some Hello Kitty fabric from etsy. I can't wait to get it and start on some new stuff. See how quickly I broke my no new fabric promise.:rotfl: I think it was less than 24 hours. And I shouldn't admit this but I bought a yard of fabric earlier today when I went to JOanns for buttons.

Of course I did cut out 4 bowling shirts for my nephews (2 for each of them) using fabric from my stash. I can't use Carla's pattern because our printer still isn't fixed. I had to use a Simplicity pattern I already had. I don't like it nearly as much as Carla's pattern. But I have all 4 shirts half finished after one day of work. Hoping that tomorrow I can put on the sleeves and do the buttonholes. Then all 4 will be done. My next goal will be to plan some special outfits for the niece and nephews with the Dr. Seuss fabric I bought last winter. You see, I really am trying to use up some of my fabric stash!


I also finished the last bit on this bag that I made during winter break.

I love having zippered pockets inside my bag!

Sounds like you have been busy! I like zippered pockets too!

I couldn't believe how easy it was and it only took about a 1/2 to make.:goodvibes

They look like so much fun to do!

Another Friday night and I don't seem to have plans :confused3 so I'll offer a quick tutorial about AG bags that Andrea asked about. As I was uploading to photobucket it occurred to me that I have too many photos for one post, so keep reading when you're done here.

th_3bags033.jpg


Barefoot Dorrrine. For the dress pattern you'll have to go to my etsy shop (oh, wait, I don't have an etsy shop), but here are pictures worth 1,000 words on how to make the other two bags.

Notes . . . in the past I've "fortified" it with a lightweight interfacing, and you can add a button to the front or embellish it any way you like, and get creative with the handle.

:o If I had known my camera was going to take such clear photos I would have slowed down a bit.

Good job on the purses and the step-by-step tut!

Super cute!


I finally finished my AK dress earlier in the week. It was one of those projects that dragged on for no good reason. I need to take a picture of it one of these days!
 
Looked throught the last 6 pages during the week....LOVE all the different bags, dresses...so many cute items. (Sorry, I've not managed to catch multiple quotes yet)...I don't want to leave anyone out but it's all beautiful....:lovestruc Oh, I hope the neighbor that was hit by the car has shown some improvement in her recovery.

Ran into Joann's this afternoon to get thread and a piece of blue and pink fabric for a current project I'm working on. I walked out with all of this..I just don't know what happen:confused3 Now I have 20 new projects running through my head:woohoo: One good thing about this trip was I had a Rebate Debit Card with me that I've been carrying around for over a year and it paid for 80% of my purchase.

I saw this video when I was looking for machines the other day as one of the things my DH wants me to do if I get a machine is caps for our race team. Hope this helps.

And please tell Elli she did a wonderful job - she should be so proud of herself. :lovestruc

These turned out so cute!! I just love them all - and I love that they all have different shirts that coordinate. :thumbsup2

Hi Everyone - we have a new big give. Please come and help this little girl to have double the fun because she beat cancer not once, but twice and she is only 6 years old!! She would LOVE a real Rapunzel dress to wear to CRT and she is girly twirly!! Mom loves the kids to matchy match too!!!

Cute!!

I've been trying to finish up my laundry list of customs for our trip... I am not sure if you all heard or not - but I managed to pay off our girls trip in full with my sewing funds (DH gave us our airfare for Christmas though)... I am still trying to save up enough to pay for everything not included in the package, it's gonna be close. :eek: The girls and I are really excited, it seems to build every day - we will probably explode by the time our trip gets here. :rolleyes1

D~
 
Hi Everyone!! We are really doing great on Keira's big give!! Mom fell in love with the Dr Seuss outfits we have done in the past that are in the disboutique album! Anyone up for some Dr Seuss for a 4 and a 6 year old to wear to universal????:goodvibes

Also, Keira would love a dress with lots of princesses on it - maybe a stripwork or something??? she is a princess lover, and has a collection of all the dolls!!!:thumbsup2

Could also really use the Wish Family Tshirts!!

Pixie dust is ALWAYS welcome!!!:wizard:
 
Sorry, just catching up now that we are back from our trip :)

The Jessie shirt is actually a tee from the Disney store, I just cut it up and re-did the sleeves/neckline then added the skirt. It could totally be appliqued though, but I picked it up on BF super cheap so easier to just use that one.

SO cute. Did you applique the Jessie t shirt or was it already embellished? It's adorable.

LOVE this bag!! I've got several fabrics from Japan saved on Etsy but have been afraid to get them, glad to see you thought the quality was pretty good, maybe i'll have to take the plunge on a few. DD loves Hello Kitty and they have some great HK prints overseas.

Gearing up for our next trip in 2 1/2 weeks. Just me and DH for our 10th anniversary. I didn't do any custom twirly dresses and appliqué tees for myself;) I'll save the hard core sewing for our trip later this year with kiddos in tow. Actually, DD has already made her requests: Cinderella dress, and a Stitch outfit for each day! Any of you ladies want to join me in setting up a sweat shop just to get done in time? ;)
I did make a tote bag for myself. I used CarlaC's Tailored Tote pattern, modifying it only to add a zipper. I didn't do many pockets, just the two on the outside. (I made my mom one with 17 pockets!) I got the Mickey fabric from Etsy. It's from Japan and super-pricey! I winced cutting into it, even after measuring and double checking multiple times for each step.

Sooo pretty!!!
I wanted to share this dress I made for Barbara's auction. Sorry for the big pictures.

cindy_1.jpg



Andrea inspired me to make a shirt for the doll - I don't like looking at her "body" either. I might have to make a new dress for my DD's AG and keep her in my sewing area. Maybe something that coordinates with my sewing machine? At least her hair wouldn't get so messy.

Great work!! These are all adorable :)
Hi all. I love reading your thread and seeing all the pics. I have finally finished the outfits for my youngest daughter for our upcoming trip.

Thought I'd try to share.

I also made an Alice dress for 1900 Parkfare breakfast. Not sure why I don't have a pic. And I made a bow to match exactly with each outfit. I made a few extra t-shirt dresses just in case she gets dirty and needs a change. I'm so excited she has an outfit for every single day!

Gorgeous!!!! I have the Feliz pattern too, just waiting to find the perfect fabrics for it. That is actually part of what inspired the skirt I made DD for AK.

My FIRST ever Feliz. I have had the pattern for about 3 years and just now had the guts to do it. What I found was it is not really that hard. Just extrememly time consuming (sep without a serger like me). I don't want to make another for a while :rotfl2:

But my DD LOVED it and was spinning around the house all day. That made it all worth while.

Love the idea of an autograph bag, how fun! and good luck getting your projects done! I finished up 3 in about a week, so I completely understand, i'm sure you will be fine :)
Wow, so much cuteness! I especially love the Feliz. I'm working on the courage to do my first too, and I even have the fabric for it and a deadline of Feb 5 (when we're going to see Sesame Street Live) so I'd better get on it!

I'm not even coming close to keeping up here right now, between the holidays, my son's birthday, and getting ready for our trip. DH bought me a new sewing machine (Janome DC2160) for Christmas and it is getting a workout!

The first thing I made with it - Christmas jammies for the girls (ignore DS and his duct tape dynamite :rotfl:)

A purse for DD in our high school's team colors and logo. When I finally get an embroidery machine I am SO digitizing this because I have orders for 2 more for friends already.

And a park bag, also for DD10 at her request. I improvised this one and I love how it came out - the zipper pocket is just the right size for her iPod Touch and has a button hole to run the headphones through, and the slip-in pocket holds her Epcot passport and pen perfectly. The only problem is the measurements on B&N.com for the Birnbaums weren't accurate, so that doesn't fit as well as it should!

The outside is completely blank white canvas, because DD wanted an *autograph* purse.

We leave in 13 days and I have 7 more projects on the to-do list. Wish me luck!

My DD would love your Tink outfit! Super cute!
Here are a few more items I made for our upcoming trip. Today is 30 days out!

First is my "day bag" for the parks:

Next is a tinkerbell outfit for my DD:

I'm kinda thinking of painting a tinkerbell on the front of this. I have a very small embroidery machine, but it only does 4x4, so I don't think that would be big enough.

I have a couple of short sets I made for my DS also, but they really aren't anything exciting. I am so glad I have a DD! I have 3 boys, and last was my girl, and she LOVES for me to make her dresses. Hopefully I will have time to make her a few more. :goodvibes

Thanks for looking.:thumbsup2

It wasnt a pattern, I just made it up as I went along. I found a few tutorials that gave me some ideas but then I just winged it. Sorry!
I Love the Minnie Skirt - would you mind sharing what pattern this is? Sorry if this is a repeate question - just rejoining the thread today. Thanks

Oh fun!! I got a new Bernina for Christmas (well actually I still don't have it, it was backordered) and I had planned on taking the new owners class at my local store also. They are lending me a 635 to use til the 330 I ordered comes in so at least i'm learning a little as I go along. What one did you get?

Tomorrow the store that I bought my machine from is offering a Bernina owner class. I am so excited. I have taken it before but I was so overwhelmed that I don't remember everything. I hope to relearn the basics of my machine. I am super super excited about learning to put a button on. My belly has popped buttons off all my jackets!

Such a cute little bag! I'll have to check those out!

So I made my first ITH project from PicklePie. I made a cell phone case for my friend and one for me but I just skipped the steps about the strap and button closure.

I couldn't believe how easy it was and it only took about a 1/2 to make.:goodvibes
 
Ok, now that we are back, I have a few more pics to share. Jessie and our AK outfit were posted awhile back. Here are the other 2 I was finishing. These were both from her birthday -

This is adorable

Looked throught the last 6 pages during the week....LOVE all the different bags, dresses...so many cute items. (Sorry, I've not managed to catch multiple quotes yet)...I don't want to leave anyone out but it's all beautiful....:lovestruc Oh, I hope the neighbor that was hit by the car has shown some improvement in her recovery.

Ran into Joann's this afternoon to get thread and a piece of blue and pink fabric for a current project I'm working on. I walked out with all of this..I just don't know what happen:confused3 Now I have 20 new projects running through my head:woohoo: One good thing about this trip was I had a Rebate Debit Card with me that I've been carrying around for over a year and it paid for 80% of my purchase.
