Here's what I stayed up half the night finishing for Alexa to wear to her Halloween party.

Sorry for the crummy cell phone pics.

Now I have to go start and FINISH her Rapunzel dress for the parade Monday.

FedEx is delivering my machine today. I got mine from Ebay. Crossing my fingers it will work! I also bought my coverhem from Ebay and it was fine.



Here is DD in her Mermaid costume. She got to wear it to her dance class last night. She is happy with it and I'm happy it's finished!

What machine did you end up buying on Ebay? I love the mermaid costume. It turned out great!

Here are a few pictures of what I have been working on!

the outfits turned out great! I had some of the same Bambi fabric. I used it to make a vida dress over the summer. I really like the Asian top.

Love those! I may have to make those to go with the Rosetta's I'm planning on doing for my girls for Christmas!

I have done Patricia tunics with matching rosetta bags for my girls for Chanukah. I was just thinking that I would make them these little bags with the scraps. I have to see if I have enough of everything left.

Here's what I stayed up half the night finishing for Alexa to wear to her Halloween party.

That's adorable! She must love how full and twirly it is.

I didn't grab Meshell's picture- The Belle dress loves terrific. Love the Batman bodyguard. A princess needs her security.

Fruto76, The reason I thought of Treasures was because when our kids were young my MIL would take them for a walk to the beach or up to the attic and say "Let's see what treasures we can find."

Love the Little House dresses.
I like the bodice as is too. It blends in well with the rest of the dress.

Finally finished Granddaughter Gracie's dress..ended up making it longer than I wanted to make it. If I made the layer the same size I would have been cutting most of the Princessess in half.

If all goes as planned the Triplets and I will be taking Beth and Grace their dresses this afternoon. Hoping we continue to get just rain and not any of the snow they were talking about.

Wow again everyone has been so busy and there is no way for me to catch up.
Love the Halloween outfits they are all so great

I have a question...HSN has a sale on Singer® Futura Quartet 4-in-1 Sewing Machine with the 6x10 hoop but no 5x7 only 6x10 and 4x4. Is there anyway you can use the 6x10 to do 5x7 designs. I love the idea of having the bigger hoop, but most of what I want to do is 5x7...thanks for all the help

 

[jennsuko]

I probably just missed it, but where do I find this auction for Barbara? There are some gorgeous things that I would love to bid on!

Looks great! I love Belle!

You did a great job! Love it!

Very cute...I have the feeling your not the only one staying up late doing last minute Halloween projects!

Super cute! Love all the Purple!

What machine did you end up buying on Ebay? I love the mermaid costume. It turned out great!

I got the BL Emore. I saw it on ebay and made a much lower offer. She agreed! Plus she threw in all of the thread/stabilizer...etc!

It's here but I'm too sick to open the box. DH and I have been running a fever . I was looking forward to playing with it today !

Hi people,
I've been on dis for a bit but I just ventured over here. I've been sewing since I was in elementary school. When other kids went to sports and camps and whatever I took sewing lessons and sewing camp. My most ambitious project: a two-piece bathing suit (I was 11, I think?). I've sewed simple things like pillows and I can follow a pattern and make clothes but I am in awe of some of you!

So now I need some help. I got in a battle with contact paper last night (I think I lost) and I told my mother for christmas I wanted a laminator or a sewing machine. She told me I could borrow the singer until I learned to sew. As in the one stitch singer. So now I need a project that I can do to prove to her that I "know how to sew."

Any tips? I'm thinking maybe a purse? I'm also just moving into a new house and have 4 year old twins.

 

[Fruto76]

my dd Cancide got the girls all dressed and took pix in the yard last night..looks like they had a blast...Gracie/green,Kensligh/lavender & Chloe /floral
this is the Ingalls attitude...but I don't think Ma & Pa would put up with those 'tudes!

the girls are the sisters in the same birth order...Kensleigh/Mary { she is older by one whole minute!},Gracie/Laura & Chloe/Carrie .they have several Halloween activities they will attend this year so they willget lots of wear form these outfits and then they will be able to wear them to church...
and i have no idea why they flipped the bonnets back...crazy girls...

They all look adorable. Love the dresses!

I need opinions!

I'm working on finishing a Halloween dress for my niece. What do you think about the bodice? The bodice matches her Trick or Treat bag. I can change the bodice to the plain black fabric as that is what I have as the lining.

Here is one of the ToT bags. I made them for my niece's and my nephew.

I like it with the the ToT bodice.

D~ love the AG dresses!

Squirrel- cute stripwork! I like that it matches the bag....she will have a purse to match her dress!

DJazz- the gbabies r so cute in their matching ensemble.

Here is DD in her Belle SS, with her Batman body guard...gotta have security you know

Belle looks great! Would have never guessed you only needed a few hours!

It looks great! I want to make some trick or treat bags for the kids...but I'm running out of time. DH brought home a stomach virus we are both hurting. Praying the kids don't get it. Trying to get some strength to finish my dress order! She needs it by Nov 2nd! Ahhhh!


HSN has it too. Sometimes they have coupon codes for new customers for 15% or so. Do a search. Plus @ HSN you can do flex play and do 5 payments over time. Not too bad of a deal.

What a great mermaid costume! Did you use a pattern? If so, which one?

Loving all these super cute costumes!!! Gabriel is going to be Tigger, store bought! lol!! Isabelle doesn't want to dress up, b/c all the costumes she likes I told her had to have leggings under them. So I may make her something Halloween-ish to wear Monday.

As if I need to add anymore projects! I am doing about 30 customs for our trip in 5 and a half weeks, and I have 2 orders and a bunch of Christmas things to make!!!!

My dd decided last minute she didn't want to dress up at MNSSHP. She was supposed be Tink and ds was Peter. Luckily I brought a Haunted mansion custom and she wore that.

Here are a few pictures of what I have been working on!

This one is for me!!! It is going on the back of a hoodie!!

Everything looks so cute, I especially love the design for your hoodie. Where did you get it or did you make it yourself?

Here's what I stayed up half the night finishing for Alexa to wear to her Halloween party.

Beautiful. I bet she is the star of the class today!

Yes. I use my 6x10 for 5x7 designs.

Are the twins girls? Twirl skirts are very simple - just a couple rectangles with a casing. Have fun!

 

[chellewashere]

Yes. I use my 6x10 for 5x7 designs.

Thank you thought so but I wanted to be sure.

They all came out wonderful. But I must say "somebody" looks like her mother!!

I love your hoodie design? Where did you get it, or did you design it yourself. Love it!!

The shop that I purchased told me to stay away from singer in embroidery and serger as they frequently need repairs that can't be fixed in shop and need to go back to Singer. So I stayed away.

 

[aksunshine]

Thanks sooo much everyone!!!


Ann and Sally- I got it here and then changed up the colors in my software!

PS-Sally, I wish, she actually looks like her daddy the most. lol!!

 

[dianemom2]

Thank you thought so but I wanted to be sure.

It is harder to hoop things in a 6x10 hoop and there is also quite a bit more stabilizer that you'll need for each hooping.

My friend has the Singer Futura. It is ok but she doesn't use it frequently. She only sews occasionally. More often, she'll come over here and use my Babylock to embroider something. It is always fun to have somebody to chat with while I sew so I am happy that she comes over. Her machine doesn't stitch things out anywhere near as nicely as mine does.

If you are on facebook search for Frou Frou by HeatherSue. I am not sure if I am allowed to post a link to it or not.

For a single stitch machine I would recommend buying Carla C's Easy fit pants pattern from youcanmakethiscom. It is an easy and quick pattern and she always gives great instructions, techniques and pictures. Once you do that it will then give you the confidence to try more.

Love the batman protection. Every princess needs that!

Posted on FB but they are adorable and I can't wait for you to stitch out your design. I really want to use my coupon code but not sure what I will do with them

I like how that came out but DD refuses to wear turtlenecks. She says it chokes her

I don't know that much about that machine but usually you can get different size hoops because the 6x10 will waste alot of stabilizer if you are wanting to do a smaller size.

Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I hope you'll recover quickly and play with your new toy! Good job on the mermaid costume!

Here are a few pictures of what I have been working on!

This one is for me!!! It is going on the back of a hoodie!!

Great job! Isabelle has grown a lot! I am sure the braces don't help either.

Love the AK outfits! You do the best AK stuff!

Awww, thanks (where is the blush smily?). Andrea is the one who inspires me to do patchwork twirls since her work is so amazing! Getting that set of animal prints at $2/metre didn't hurt either. I think I still have at least 10 metres of that sitting in my sewing room.

Here's what I stayed up half the night finishing for Alexa to wear to her Halloween party.

Sorry for the crummy cell phone pics.

Now I have to go start and FINISH her Rapunzel dress for the parade Monday.

Beautiful outfit. I hope you won't need to stay up half the night for the Rapunzel dress!

Welcome! How about a set of pillowcase dresses for your twin girls (I imagine you have girls based on your screen name)? They are pretty simple to do, though I actually haven't done one myself. Easy fit pants from youcanmakethis.com is a great pattern for beginners. I can whip one of those things out in less than an hour (including cutting the fabric and serging the seams).

 

[Amyhoff]

I don't post very much, but I wanted to show everyone my daughter's Halloween costume that I made her. I used the Simplicity Sleeping Beauty pattern. I am really proud of myself!
