I FOUND MY BOX!!!!!!!
Tore up my house one last time and I found it!!!!! Actually my daughter found it in her room! Why it was there I will never know. Don't really care! lol so now I can start going through my designs again. woohoo!!! Happy day!

So happy for you!! Now you can create things for me to drool over!

Pyrxtc Congrats on your new machine!! I hope it arrives quickly!

 

[livndisney]

I am beginning to sew a little again. I am still very slow and have to stop often. I find that having a separate room dedicated just to sewing makes it much easier for me. I am not always having to get out the machines and am able to just close the door on my mess.

I am not doing anything elaborate, just easy stuff for around the new apartment, but as soon as I figure out how to mail packages without a car, I can do big gives again!

Here are some pictures of the sewing room.

I also made the curtains and shower curtain for the bath attached to that room. (and covered the lamp to match)

Skimming and I saw this.

The PO will deliver boxes and pick them up. I go to GREAT lengths to avoid the PO. SO I ship with the prepaid boxes all the time. (Love the prepaid envelopes for simple dresses)

I did it ! I made up my mind and bought myself a new machine. After much review I decided to go with a Brother Machine. I decided to go with Brother PC-420 PRW Limited Edition. I can't wait to try it out and hope I love it. It comes with "My Custom Stitch". I can't wait to design little Mickey head stitches to use. LOL !!

I hope I don't have any issues like I did with the Singer I got when I broke my Mom's machine. I chose the free Super Saver shipping from Amazon so I will have to wait patiently for it to arrive. Give me time to read the manual and get some patterns cut out before it arrives. Also, I can spend some time with my kids before I start sewing crazy again.

Plus, I hit Joann's while I was out tonight and this store had the new pattern's in stock. I bought them right out of the shipping box and got my costume I posted earlier and the pattern for the princess aprons. Yay !!

Wheee! I usually get my amazon super saver stuff within a few days...faster than I expect...hopefully the same for you! Let me know how that apron pattern works out..thinking about it for DD for Halloween...

I stayed up way too late last night cutting out the pieces and prepping to sew today. I made DD9 her Aivilo satchel which will be her carryon for Disney.

She picked the fabrics and button...I think she did great. I am happy with the results..and now want to make mine! I also broke my first needle...in spectacular fashion...does that make me official or something now? Scared the daylights outta me when it happened!

Hi everyone. I have lurked for a while and recently brought my very first embroidery machine (Brother 750e) and have been quilting for a few years on a basic machine and only recently tried to make something other than a Halloween costume. Here are a few photos of a dress I made for my niece:

Also, I have a question

I really need to buy a new machine (and planning on converting a table myself) for quilting and now also sewing. I think I have narrowed it down to Husqvarna Sapphire 875q and Brother QC1000. I am leaning towards the Sapphire and looking for any advice (and some reassurance that I am picking a good machine). TIA.

HAPPY 4THEVERYONE!



Your skirt is great! I wish I could do that for ds -- he has so many jeans that fit in the waist b/c they are a size too big but are too short on him. Ruffles on the bottom won't work for him either! I guess I need to buy my 10 y/o size 14 this year to get them long enough Thank goodness for adjustable waists.

I feel your pain. Wait until he is 14, 6feet tall and weighs 135 lbs. It is really difficult to find a 28 waist/34 leg pair of jeans. Some places (the cheap stores like Walmart) don't even always carry 28" waist. Shorts are no fun either but a bit easier. At least while your ds is still in boy's clothes, a lot of them have the adjustable waist.

That looks great, I went to Joanns toady to look for coordinating fabric for the same bag. I am making it for DDs diaper bag.

I'm sorry I can't help on the machines but wanted to say that your dress is beautiful!

My son is 6"7" and dressing him was always tough. I did OK at Sears, Pennys and Kohls

Teresa-So sorry for your loss.

Piper-love your sewing room!

My DS(11) has the same problem but he won't wear jeans. He would prefer sweatpants but those are even tougher to find slim enough and he sooooo picky. He doesn't want any graphics or stripes. He mostly wears chinos. The Old Navy ones work pretty well for him. Lands End has ones that you can order the inseam you want but they are pretty pricey. We haven't had to do that yet.

Great job on the dress. Where did you get that fabric ? I love the words all over it and the baby blue color.

TinkNH, Love the bag. Great job on picking the fabric for your DD.

 

[TinkNH]

I basically spent all day sewing...so after finishing DDs bag...I started on mine...I just finished it and I think i need to go to bed now

Loved that cinderella dress...very pretty!!

Cute dress! DH tried to get me to buy a Husky when I first started sewing. I went with brother instead and my brothers have been the best machines ever! Having said all that I have no experience with either machine you mentioned, just love my brother!

 

[ItsyBitsy]

I might have to make some of these too.

I love how they are aprons so they can be slipped on and off. Would be great for the kid who wants to wear the dress to the park but you know they'll want it gone after the first 20 minutes. If you do a better closure on the back, they would work as cute summer dresses for the park too.

Maybe I'll get to sew this week after the 4th......

I am sooooo excited you found this pattern and have shared it with us. I've never seen these flipping through the mccalls pattern books. But they are PERFECT for my LS. She's the type to want to get all dressed up and then like ten minutes later take it all off then and hour and a half later put it back on. I am making everyone of these for our trip.


You are LITERALLY my favorite person on this planet right now.

I think she did more than great with the fabric and buttons -- I love the combination! The bag turned out fabulous

The dress is just beautiful I'm afraid I'm of no use on sewing machine advice though.

Yes, I looked on Land's End website a couple of years ago -- the prices made me decide to get bigger sizes and just make sure they have an adjustable waist. I much prefer shorts season -- fortunately it's pretty long here!

I have a remnant of that paisley fabric! This bag looks great too!

I wanted to sew yesterday but my dd discovered My Free Zoo and I swear we played it all day!

I don't know anything about those machines but I might be inclined to go with the Husky.


I just recently switched from sewing on a Duetta to a Cheap Janome model and the difference is amazing.

I am using my Duetta for embroidery only now since I have to take my 770 for service and hopefully get it working

I'm glad too. I can't wait to see one of them made up. I was actually surprised that with all the talent we have here that someone didn't say that they had made something like this before for their kid when I posted this. I'm so glad that everyone is as excited as I am.

I think they are from the new fall line since they just showed up online and in the books.

Does anyone know what Joann's does with the books when they get new ones ??

WOW !! You have been busy ! Must have been inspired by having so many sewing machines huh ? Great job on both bags !

 

[nobodies36]

Thanks for all the lovely comments. Good reveiew on both machines/makes, I'll have to go to my nearest dealer and see if I can try them both.

I got the fabric from a UK fabric shop (who also happen to sell on ebay). Great quality and better than half the price of my local (and very expensive) fabric store.

 

[WyomingMomof6]

Thanks everyone for all the compliments on the baby quilt, onesies and the shower. It was a really fun theme and I can't wait to deck this little girl out!

Andrea, I think Britt looks huge but she's normally a size 3 so if she has a pimple on her belly it would show up! You're right, I did use some of the same embroidery designs. I actually had all the ones from planet applique but hadn't seen a saddle anywhere until you posted the link! The baby's name is going to be Madison Nicole unless they have a last minute change of heart. My daughter wanted Madison Avery but my son-in-law wanted Nicole for a middle name because that's Britt's middle name. They are going to call her Madi (spelled that way).

I have found my costume for Halloween this year.....

I haven't found it in the stores yet but I can't wait til it is. I guess I'll have to have someone measure me so I can know what size to make.

I might have to make some of these too.

I love how they are aprons so they can be slipped on and off. Would be great for the kid who wants to wear the dress to the park but you know they'll want it gone after the first 20 minutes. If you do a better closure on the back, they would work as cute summer dresses for the park too.

Is there anyone who could make some of these princess dresses for my daughter who will probably need a 2T size? I would especially love the Belle one for her. I would just need it by Halloween. PM me if you can and let me know how much it would cost for something like this. Thanks!!

could you pm me the name of the fabric shop on ebay??

I upcycled a pair of holey kneed jeans for the top portion of this and then used the MADE layered skirt tutorial found here: http://www.danamadeit.com/2012/03/tutorial-the-layered-skirt.html

Now I need to finish the shirt! It's all cut out, so once I actually sit down at the machine, it should go quickly.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS LINK!!! You have no idea, it has just help me out with weeks of head scratching and trying to decipher out what my mom was thinking - she's better seamstress than me, but she lives 3 states away. I am making DD an upcycled denim skirt "Jungle Minnie" patchwork-ruffle skirt with two ruffle layers but have had a hard time trying to figure out how I am going to add on the ruffle layers to the denim. This tute was exactly what I needed to make it uber clear. Thank You!!!

Love the Jessie Cowgirl skirt too - I'm making DD a Jessie cowgirl ruffle top with similar fabrics. So cute.
