When I saw Bev's coin purses made with bandana squares I remembered that I had some in my stash so I sewed these yesterday. I don't remember where the design came from. Done in a 5x7 hoop. I got both purses out of one square but had to use additional sc
I came across this unfinished project yesterday and decided to finish it. It started out as part of a different project when I changed my mind about the size I wanted. The butterfly was part of the original project. Then this cat was a freebie from somewh
I think that I will decorate my Christmas tree with angels this year so here is the most recent one I made. The skirt is actually a bell. There are 5 more bell designs in this set and the whole bell is done at one time in a 5x7 hoop. I used glitter tulle
Recently bevintex (Bev) showed you some lace angels from Stitch Delight. Here is my version with a bit of a twist on the original. Instead of leaving them flat like a taco I shaped mine over a bottle and bent the wings and arms. The first one is done with
I took my Brother LB6700, which was running fine, in to have the auto needle threader replaced and he found so much wrong with it that the repairs would cost as much as replacing the machine would so I declined the estimate. Now instead of replacing that
I'm not sure if this is the proper place for this but I have a question that perhaps one of the Cuties that digitize can answer for me. Can a poorly digitized design cause your machine to break/shred the thread? I have been working on some Christmas mug
Today I stitched up the eye glass case (or whatever you want to put in it), that I got from bargain embroidery on their $1.00 sale recently. There are six designs in the set. I pinked the edges and I am hoping they will fray out as it is used, giving it a
Persistence pays off. I finally found that if I put a band of fabric on the edge of the towel I could cut down on the bulkiness enough to make this design work in my 5x7 hoop. I am quite pleased with the end result
No pictures to show you but on Thursday I spent the afternoon making burrito pillowcases for my local hospital. Each surgical patient gets a handmade pillowcase to make their day a little better and then they take it home with them. I was in awe of all th
I did a couple more towels today after a trip to Walmart for supplies. I wanted to be able to hang these from a knob so I left off the hanger and added a ribbon loop. What do you think of the tied ribbon instead of the embroidered one? Using dishcloths in
Is it still a towel topper if it is only a washcloth? The one done in the 5x7 hoop is too small to use anything bigger than a fingertip towel but I didn't have one on hand so I used a washcloth. I thought the hanger loop was disproportionate to the size
For quite some time I have used the thread from Metro for my Brother machines and always had good luck with it. Recently I got some that my machines do not like. Have any of you tried the Sigma thread that they also offer? How does it compare?
Airyfairy asked about sewing a coat for her dog recently. Today this link was in my mailbox and I thought I would share it for those who sew for their dog. http://so-sew-easy.com/sewing-for...
When I made my crazy quilt patch purse I did a test panel first to see how and where I wanted to place the colors. So not wanting to waste that panel I made it into this little pouch today and I now have a cute companion piece. It measures about 4x6.
I just love this little crazy quilt purse from Kreative Kiwi. It is done with 3 panels for each side and the panels are connected in the hoop. It comes in a 5x7 and 6x10 size, but I am limited to making the 5x7 size. Finished Size – 5X7 Hoop – Width 1
