I forgot to share this, on a trip with the hubby to Western New York we stopped into a Goodwill and I found a 1935 Singer Featherweight just chilling on a shelf and tagged for $8.98! I grabbed it and almost ran to the checkout counter, we shipped it home and Elizabeth as I’ve named her, sews beautifully. 

Unbelievable Sewist Find

I made this for a friend of mine, she has 9 kids. I love how it turned out, the design was purchased from an Etsy seller and embroidered on a Brother PRS100.

I completed the second doll last night and shipped them off to their new home. I gave the second one a combover.

My hubby got me an early birthday present. He upgraded me from a Brother PE770 to a PRS100 Persona, it’s been great and the micro hoops that came with it are a game changer, it’s been so easy to embroider on baby onesies. I also did a practice project on a men’s polo shirt. I’m still a novice embroiderer but I’m looking forward to upgrading my skills.

I found this pattern on Etsy and decided it would be a cute idea for Halloween gifts. Instead of sticking pins in it I thought I could use Tootsie pops and give them to family.

The hubby and I did Ursula and Triton for Dapper Day

New Make for Dapper Day

I started my Dapper Day dress last month then put it aside because I had other things to work on and ended up finishing it the Friday before Dapper Day. I used a mash up of Gertie patterns, the Night and Day 3/4 circle skirt, the Barbara Bodice and Rita sleeves. I added purple panels with Ursula inspired embroidery.  Dress is made from Black and purple Kona Cotton, embroidered on my Brother Pe770, all of the sewing was done with my vintage Singer 201-2.

This dress was made using a Joann Fabric lobster print in 100% cotton and a red Kona cotton. I used Gertie’s charm patterns Franken-patterned  together. The skirt is the Night and Day 3/4 circle, I separated the bottom 6” of the pattern to create the bottom contrast, the bodice is the Barbara patreon pattern from Gertie and the sleeves are from her Rita blouse. 

Made a Dress for me

Made using licensed cotton from Joann Fabrics, it was one of my last fabric purchases from there. I used McCalls 2149 in large. The labels were made using 1” twill tape and my Brother pe770 embroidery machine.
