I have found a lot of cute plaids at Joanns. Some I got there last fall on their clearance sale but I was there recently and they had some cute plaids. Do you have a Hancocks near you? I bought that cute pirate fabric and the adorable denim with the embroidered animals at Hancocks. It is fun to go there because they have a different selection than Joanns.

I'll keep you posted.

Diane, your outfits are all so wonderful!! You always get so much done in such a short amount of time. Don't know how you do it! I love the Rapunzel dress. Where did you get that fabric for the dress itself. That is my DGD's favorite character and she would love something made from that fabric.

Were you able to check the stitch count on your machine? I agree that I would be miffed if my bill of sale said Ellegante 2 and I was given an upgraded Ellegante 1. These machines aren't cheap and you should be walking away a happy customer.

I worked on those shorts outfits for a couple of weeks. I did one long afternoon where I cut out all of the shorts and then it took me a couple of days to sew them up. The appliques for the t-shirts take the longest time though. The Rapunzel fabric came from Hancocks. They seem to be the only store that still has Rapunzel fabric.

Thanks! My girls really liked the Queen of Hearts dress and they usually hate everything that I sew.

I don't know if you all noticed but I made one nephew a Chip shirt and the other a Dale shirt to go with the plaid shorts. But I forgot to make Dale's nose red! Oh well, I'm sure he won't notice.

Thank you ladies SO MUCH for your suggestions and comments. I think the 770 has won! Now if I can convince my family for Amazon gift cards for my graduation in May, then I'll be all set!

Thanks for the enabling link too - although I already had the search page saved in my Amazon account! LOL

I can only hope to make things as beautiful as all of you! Finally finishing my degree will help because then I'll have all my free time for sewing - NO HOMEWORK! Thanks again!

Yay for being so close to graduation.what is your program?? I am set to graduate in December and I cannot wait. My sewing has come to a complete halt with the semester in full swing. I might have to borrow your idea to ask for amazon gift cards for graduation as I would love love the PE770. We are going on a cruise for our 10 year anniversary/graduation celebration...

I will FINALLY have my associates in Business Administration - I started it 20 years ago but stopped for more important things - you know, like marriage and kids! LOL I'm happy at my current job, but should the unknown happen, that little piece of paper makes my 10+ years of experience better somehow.

Congrats to you as well! What an awesome way to celebrate on a cruise! We just did a cruise last year for DH's 40th b-day and our 15th anniversary. Our September trip is my graduation gift for the whole family. They've earned it just as much as me. It's tough being this old and going back to school.

Go ahead and ask for gift cards too!!! I look at it this way - I don't need the normal college graduation gifts since I'm already old and established So help me get something fun. And honestly everyone in the family will benefit with cool gifts from that machine!

I found some material at fabric dot com with a coupon for J and I am excited about and I do have some mickey fabric that I have been hording. I am going to try and run to Joanns with my mom on friday when I don't have kids.

We don't have Hancocks but there is a Hobby Lobby that just opened in NJ that I might try or I know of another big Joanns there but I have to go anyday but Sunday since the county it is in has blue laws.

Great job on the dress and also on the bag. We only had 2 feet in RI but our power kept flickering on/off. It never did go off but my inlaws did lose power so they stayed with us for the weekend so I didn't get much sewing in.

Oh no! I would call my doctor and make sure it doesn't turn into something serious.

Those boys madris plaid shorts are also very cute and versatile, and go great with that "Chip" shirt.

I love the Tangled dress/Pinafore and the super cute Queen of Hearts dress. I am a big fan of the villians or characters that you don't see as often.

I posted a few weeks ago looking for a Mulan pattern. I ordered the Modkids pattern off an etsy seller, and it never arrived, I made do though, and made her some pj pants and a t-shirt to go with it instead. It doesn't resemble the movie at all, but it she loved the softness of the fabric, so I went with it (not to mention it was a rememnt at Joanns!)

Here are the pj's I have made so far for our movie nights:
Wendy


Aristocats:


Mulan:


Sorry the pictures are such poor quality. I usually take my daughters picture outside, but our weather hasn't been that good for that here lately.
I have noticed that many of the pictures shown are not on models. Is that for privacy or that the little ones are not there when you want to take a picture?

I love reading and seeing what everyone has been working on. Right now I am trying to finish an Annie dress for my daughter. I am using a Carla C pattern and I do think it is going to look cute. The piping though is going to be the death of me!

I had a concussion a few years ago, passed out and hit the bathroom counter and oak cabinets and tile floor. I was a mess. Doctor told me to take it easy and to come back in a week for another checkup for motor skills I guess. (hand-eye coordination, etc.) When my darling sons collided head-to-head and knocked one unconscious, the ER doc said to not let him hit his head again. Ever. (I laughed at her, clearly she didn't have kids, especially twin boys!) If your mental state changes, if you're confused, slurring, dizzy, call the doc immediately.

I think some people who sew things don't always have the kids around. I try to get my kids to model, but when I made all our disney outfits, I didn't let them put them on until we went on the trip since I didn't want them ruined. But then I have two boys. Of course, they think Lightning McQueen gave them all their shirts when we checked into his hotel (Art of Animation.)

Speaking of my kids, I whipped these shirts up this morning for my boys' first day of preschool. We weren't going to put them in preschool but found this program too good to pass up. It's at the local high school as part of their child-development class, the high school students "teach" with a facilitator who is their teacher. Each kid gets paired with 1-2 HS students, and I get 3 hours a week kid-free. And the cost is like $6/week for BOTH kids. I can't take credit for this idea, I stole it from pinterest, but the shirts are adult sized, and I plan to take a photo of them for the first day of school every year, and my husband had the idea to have their teachers sign them the last day of school. Of course now I have two shirts I need to keep track of for the next 15 years!


(and yes my son has a black eye on his first day of school. See aforementioned: twin boy.)

Which 10 needle machine do you have? Are you happy with it? I am thinking about making the jump to a multi-needle machine but I have only found a few reviews on them so far.



I am not the PP but I have an SWF 601C. This is considered a compact. It is a 6 needle and I LOVE it. They used to make a 12 needle now it is a 15 needle. My only regret was not getting the 12 needle. It is so much easier to use then a home machine and the hoops are HUGH. I use a 12 X 12 all the time. There is a 15 X 20 I use sometimes and embroiderying on hats was a plus as well. If you have more questions just ask. I have had my embroidery machine for years and it is a work horse. HIGHLY recommend the brand, have heard alot of quality issues with the Brother multi-needles and the Happy machines are all made of plastic. If you have a machine in mind I'd be happy to direct you to resources and groups that specialize with "big boy" machines.
