....The sewing bug!! Yes, I am learning how to sew and embroider/applique. I bought a sewing machine and an embroidery machine and have been taking sewing lessons on Monday nights. So far I have learned to make long and short johnnies for Nate and have made one of each! I also made a cute pair of corduroy pants for him last night that I am going to pair with a cute appliqued shirt for the fall. My fabulous sister-in-law, Candice (http://www.mysewsweetboutique.blogspot.com/) has been (very patiently) teaching me how to monogram and applique. She has helped me to make Nate's johnnies very cute along with some really cute bibs. I haven't used my own embroidery machine yet because I am still waiting on a part, but I can't wait to whip up some really cute creations!!

Those look great. I have a sewing/embroider machine and have used it a handful of times. How do you do things like the alligator? Do you cut the fabric to fit first and then load the design into your machine?
ReplyDeleteI load the design in first. The machine will outline the design for me, then I place the fabric on top of the outline and it outlines it again. Then I cut the fabric real close to the outline and the machine does the satin stitch. It's pretty easy after some practice.
