Thanks! I am super excited. I have been on Heather Sues site and so far my cart has $200 + dollars in it. Showed it to DH this was his reaction
I want them ALL I don't know which designs NOT to get....
Soes anyone know if there is a Kissing frog appliqué design - from Princess and the Frog. Also looking for Ray DD loves him....
I guess I would only get the ones you have immediate plans to do. As other mentioned, she sends out coupons which will help with the cost too.
Are you signed up on Heather's site? She sends monthly coupon codes. This month it's 35% off orders of $50 or more so if you do your purchases with the codes it will really help you save
Also, she will send you a design for free if you are using for a BG --- after the BG is done she allows you to use the design for yourself I've amassed quite a few Dis designs that way though I can't say I've ever used them for personal use since we can't afford a trip.
Heather is very generous in letting us use her designs for BG's. She is such a sweetie! I have to agree with Andrea though, I think I have only used 1 or 2 of them for personal use. For me, it often goes the other way. I used a few designs I purchased for myself for BG's and I still haven't used them for myself yet.
?'s for those with Sergers
I am planning on getting a serger book for my sewing library soon. Any suggestions on what I should get? I was also wondering when using a serger to create seams - do you have to add to your patterns seam allowance?
I just got confirmation from the shipping company and all of my packages have arrived and are being shipped down here on Thrusday. The boat will arrive on Saturday night and I can pick up my stuff on Monday!!! can you guess what I'll be doing ALL of next week......
I don't use any books, I am just the dive in and sew kind of person. The 1/4 seam allowance is perfect for my serger. I sew a straight seam and then serge the seams. I use the 4 thread mock safety stitch most often.
Woo HOO!!! Just got back from Wal-Mart and was able to get the fabric I wanted!! Well, actually I got two different ones and a Black and white check.
The plan is to make easy shorts. My DS5 has a wonderful Lightening McQueen appiqued shirt. The shirt is white. Opinions wanted on which of the two fabrics I got should I make the shorts for him out of???
I saw somewhere the check used for pockets, but not sure that will look right with the fabric I have.
Thanks in advance!
I think either one would work. Which one does he like more?
This was my project last night - Simplicity 3531 - I made it as a gymnastics bag for Miss Gracie:
I'm just glad I can pick up wifi at the gymnastics center...watching her practice right now!
Good job on the bag!
Here are my latest 2 creations.
DD8 is not very excited about this Cinderella dress. I am trying to figure out how to make it more exciting.
DD6 loves this Belle dress. I used the same peasant dress pattern I have been using, made the skirt longer so that I could use Lastin to put make the gathers at the bottom and I added the collar to look like Belle's. DD8 is jealous of this one.
The Belle dress is beautiful. Maybe you can ask your DD if she had any suggestions to make the Cinderella dress more exciting for her? I thought it looks great!
