[/QUOTE] We are a friendly bunch, if I do say so myself! Go ahead and ask any questions you have (after reading the 1st post) and we'll be happy to try to help you out.

I highly recommend the Portrait Peasant from You Can Make This for your first pattern. Any pattern by CarlaC will be great. [/QUOTE]



Thank you so much for the welcome! I will definitely go look at that pattern. I know I want to start with something easy so it does not scare me away!

I love it! That is exactly what I wanted to come up with for our trip, and never did.

I made a super easy and fun scarf last night. And to put a Disney spin on it I added a Mickey silhouette to it. Of course it is almost 80 here today so we'll have to wait a while to really wear it but my kiddo loved it. She looks very J Crew in this picture! Such a ham!

This is super cute and would make a great present, did you use a pattern our just wing it? Now you have me thinking Christmas gifts

 

[QuiverofArrows]

Love, love, love this!

 

[erikawolf2004]

The scarf is cute but your little one is even cuter


I don't have a serger but I am interested in the responses. I am either going to get a new machine, a serger or an embroidery machine this spring and I am leaning toward the serger.

I don't have a serger...some day, but I do have an embroidery machine and I just love it!!! It is such a fun toy, it is kind of like playing paperdolls when I was little, but it is with fabric. If you have little ones it is a great thing to have.

I'm quoting now! Woohoo for me. Yes, I know it is simple BUT I just figured it out. Now multiquoting...

Okay, hubby is taking off tomorrow. We are trying to save up all of his vacation days for our trip but he is maxed out so he has to take a day off this week and one more off before we go. I'm hoping to clean up some rooms so I can spread out for sewing. Please pray my tension doesn't give me grief. Oy! I have no idea what I will get made but thankfully things seemed to have calmed down with family everywhere that it might just happen. I'll have to print out the YCMT patterns and go from there. Schedule is made, meal plan made, rough sketch of outfit ideas complete and need to leave a few days for making hairbows.

Thanks so much for always encouraging and inspiring ladies!

Just wanted to show off the costumes I made for me and my husband. I've already posted my Snow White costume. I made my Prince Charming in an afternoon.

You guys look great, Love Snow White, I made this dress several years ago...wish it still fit for several reasons Have a great time!

You are so awesome to do so much for the Gives- its a lot of time and fabric and love!

I just counted and I have 7 skirts, 9 tops/dresses, 1 bowling shirt, 2 autograph books, 11 onesies, and 28 t-shirts to try and get done in 17 days. Plus a hat for Gavin, a couple more burp cloths and an insert for my Mei Tei.

Luckily my MIL said she could help with her machine...I see a lot of onesies and Ts in her future.

I still have 2 weekends left!

We are leaving tonight! Just wanted to say goodbye and I look forward to seeing all of the cute new stuff that has posted when I get back!

Have fun. Can't wait to see all your pictures!

I've never used a serger before. However, I think it would be nice to have one. What are some good models? Any tips on what to look for? How did you all learn to use yours?

I just bought a brother serger that was on HSN. But it is still in the box as I have not had any time to try it out.

I actually made my own as party favors for my daughter's 3rd birthday party. I drew the outline on the shirt with a fabric marker (you can transfer the design using a heat transfer pencil or trace a coloring page using a lightbox etc.) Then i rolled the tee shirt up and tied a box of fabric crayons to it with a pretty ribbon & that was it. Super easy & you can do any character or design you want.

Maybe I will start doing these as Big Give items if people think they are a good idea.

Let me know what you all think!

That is such a wonderful idea.

I hope you all don't mind if I join in here! I am amazed at all the talent here, you all do some awesome sewing! I am a beginner...well I use to sew while in high school but that's been about 15-16 years ago so I don't remember much at all. My mom on the other hand is an excellent sewer with numerous different type machines. She gave me her older Brother EL-3100 machine to learn to sew on and I finally got my craft room cleaned up and got my new sewing area fixed. Now to find the easiest pattern I can to start practicing. I hope to learn all I can from all of you!

I kind of a newbie here too and just started sewing after my mom gave me her sewing/embroidery machine.

Everyone has been so great and will help with any questions.

I'm working on my first quilt (autograph quilt) and I'm wondering which would hold up the longest & best--appliques of the characters or embroidery??? I would appreciate any help! I did get rayon emb thread since I had accidentally ordered the poly when I got my machine. Isn't it the rayon that holds up the longest? Thanks!
