Finally after hours and hours and yards and yards of wasted thread, I won!<br />

<a href="http://www.whimsycoutureboutique.blogspot.com/">Whimsy Couture</a> was kind enough to let me test out her pattern for lacettes - a kind of fancy legwarmer.<br />
When I volunteered to help test, I didn't expect shirring to be that big of a deal; just wind elastic into the bobbin and you're good to go. Turns out, Brother sewing machines are notorious for giving trouble when shirring. And my Brother SE400 was no different, she was not into shirring!<br />
<br />
After winding the elastic (by hand) loose, then tight, long stich, then short stich (and everywhere in between),tight tension and loose tension (and everywhere in between); I finally, finally found my way.<br />
Turns out, on my machine, I need to wind the elastic very tight, short stich, medium tension (around a 6ish). I also need to make very sure that the elastic catches in the tension bracket in the bobbin (which means hand threading the bobbin - what a pain in the ....)<br />
<br />
But the results were worth it - Audrey now has warm legs for dance class and I'm that much closer to being a real sewer..<br />

24 total puppets for gifts and favors!<br />

They were really easy to make. The most time consuming (and tedious!) thing was cutting all the pieces. But I'm pretty happy with how they came out. But I won't be making any more for a very long time!Vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00539233524847391731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1392246879073789016.post-18903123675586296502010-11-29T15:54:00.000-05:002010-11-29T15:54:02.846-05:00Turkey ShirtI hope you had a wonderful, filling Thanksgiving.

My mom and I actually made a shirt/onesie for my niece and nephew, but she hasn't sent pictures yet (hint, hint, Val - if you're reading this!!)<br />
<br />

<br />
She wanted to be a Purple Tinkerbell. Which of course doesn't exist, even in the most creative and unique costume stores. <br />
<br />
So this was my first year attempting to sew a costume. I got the pattern (Simplicity 2872), got approval (from Audrey) on the proper material and sat down to try a read the pattern.<br />
<br />
And it turned out not to be so bad. Don't get me wrong, I spent a good amount of time with my seam ripper, but, I learned a lot and all in all it went together nicely.<br />
<br />
I did cheat and bought the wings - those seemed out of my league. They turned out to be horrible and fell over all the time. <br />
<br />
But, most importantly - Audrey loved it! She danced around the room for hours when I finished it, I had to hide it until Halloween so she wouldn't ruin it before the big day.<br />

Actually it is more of a light sweater. Its been sitting in my closet never seeing the light of day, but it never fit me right, so there it sat, in the dark and alone :(<br />
<br />
This morning, I asked Audrey if I should make it into a dress for her. She responded with a resoundig "YES! and I want to wear it to school today!!" <br />
great...<br />
<br />
so, I tried.....<br />
<br />
here's the before picture....<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>She picked the tights out that she swears that they match....I think it would look better with a belt- but she would have none of it. Her dress, her style, I guess..<br />
<br />
Anyway, it wasn't that bad. It was pretty easy, I just kept allowing for extra, which kept making it too big.<br />
<br />
All and in all, she loves it - I'm happy.
