aplique

great site
http://www.myhappycrazylife.com/how-to-applique/


Trying hard to learn to appliqué the problem is I don't maneuver my fabric very well in my machine... So sewing around the edges looks sloppy :(
I just need to learn to use the machine better :?

Made 2 Onesies .. Instead of sewing around edges I used fray check and attached it with heatbond

here comes fall

After a long hot summer in Sept 2011 all of my children started public school...

Sept still hotter than hell was busy with adjustments, car troubles, sick kids and a sick me.. We had a big family party with Dales family on the 25th
Dales Bday is the 26th
As the end of Sept approached hints of cooler times to come lightened my mood :)

As we approach October I look forward to crisp fall weather, having more energy and getting many projects done :)

why a blog..

Lots of reasons

Cheerleading Skirt

so every Friday the girl wear their cheer skirts.. Abs wanted a dif one so I decided to make it.. 3 weeks lots of fabric and tries later I am not finished :(

Length of trim to order 24 inches

This skirt has been a night mare!!!

I got stuck on seam finishes and putting the waist in
I've decided to go with a long waist but not to high.. custom fitted to her :)
