I'm glad you're enjoying your new machine. I have the Easy Fit pattern too, but I wouldn't know how to put them on Ginger. I've thought of making human size jammie bottoms, but so far, it's just a thought.
Interpretation. That's it.
That's patience. Above and beyond the call of duty, patience!
No SEU, no clothes for Ginger, no more pillowcases. I was a mature adult and painted the deck furniture.
LOL! I was a mature adult today and did housework and
Every now and then I relapse into one....but normally I don't
Easy...there are such things as pin magnets...its like a round saucer shaped plastic dish, with a magnet hidden inside. All you have to do is drop the pin on it, and it sticks. It's great for getting the dropped pins off the floor too...just sweep it over the area and it grabs them all. I've been using them for years, the first one was a gift, and I think it came from Joann fabrics.
I read somewhere those magnets can mess with computerized machines....do you keep it near you machine without problems? or just in the cutting area? (AKA dining table)
I have never posted here but I love all the projects that you do. My Mom just made my DD two adorable outfits that I just had to show off. (Well I think that they are adorable) I hope this works. Here is a picture of one I haven't taken a pic of the other yet.
There are matching shorts underneath.
Love.....your DD is a cutie.
YAY I did it I have finally finnished this dress and I am really proud of my efforts. I made this dress for my daughter to wear to a cupcake birthday party this weekend. I have been working for weeks on this as my sewing maching was giving me dramas when I was making this dress and in turn made my life very difficult.
Anyway after getting lots of lovely help and advice from all the lovely diser friends. I managed to fix my machine and get this dress finnished.
I have struggled with my gathering stitches can anyone assist. I set my machine to the longest lengths and medium tension, however it was very difficult to gather. How do you gather your hems and skirts
Now to start on some Disney Theme Outfits we only have 166 days

Does you machine have a basting stitch? I use mine to do gathers (ruffles) just lengthen your basting stitch to at least a 5....pull on the bottom (bobbin) thread....do 2 if your threads break a lot.
Glad you got your machine working....love the dress!
OK ladies, I need your advice.
DH and I booked a trip to WDW for late September. We're pretty established Disney-goers (with a WDW trip in Sept 09 and cruise in October 10).
We are planning on going to the Halloween party while we are there. DD (3) wants to be Rapunzel (Tangled). Has anyone had any success sewing a Rapunzel dress and what pattern did you use? I'm decent at sewing *stuff* (purses, pillows, curtains) but not overly experienced with clothing.
I was thinking that I might do a Simply Sweet dress and modify it a little. Or just a skirt in purple with an overlay like Rapunzel's and pair it with a t-shirt. DD doesn't like the itchy princess dresses from the Disney store. And this would not be her official Halloween costume, but just something a little more dressy.
I have a Brother SE350, so I could easily do HeatherSue's Rapunzel cutie on a shirt.
I hope if you make a Rapunzel you post it.....our trip is in Nov and I'm waiting to see if DD will be wanting....Belle, Ariel, or Rapunzel.....waiting until Sept to see which way she sways.....I could always make all 3
Everything else was TMTQ.....I loved the wedding pics and D's AG dolls dressed like princesses!
I finished my kids July 4th outfits....DS4 looked at his shirt and asked me why it wasn't striped like DD dress
I made DD a backpack for preschool.....but after seeing how it looks full it may be more for play and car trips (for toys)....its so light I don't think it will hold up to daily use....I may make another with a heavier fabric. The face is hand applique...secured first with heatnbond lite. She is going through a Dora phase...funny since we don't even have cable!
