| I took a photograph which I traced for this special little embroidery for a friend who started our local sewing group, Tubs Anonymous (cause we all have tubs of fabric at home and the local quilting guild had already taken the name, Prairie Strippers). I glued it into the frame on Christmas Eve and covered the mess with some ribbon glued to the back. |
 |
| My brother hates hugs and touching of any kind so of course I had to make him this fabulous design from Sublime Stitching. |
 |
| I love all the felt birds designed by Susan of Downeast Thunder Farm and was very happy to get my Grandma's favorite bird made up for her tree. |
 |
| The not nieces and nephew have started playing imaginary games like "King" so I thought I'd make some dress up clothes! I hacked the Tumble Tee pattern for the make the princess dresses. I used this tutorial for the gathered skirts and cut the front of the Pink Princess's skirt in thirds to add the lace panel while leaving the back in one piece. I just sewed some costume necklaces right on so they wouldn't loose them. The knight/king/warrior costume came from the dollar store and a large piece of purple velvet I cut into a cape shape and sewed onto the shoulders of the breastplate. |
Welp that's about all I've gotten done for the rest of 2013... Stay tuned this week for the wrap up of the Stashbusting Sewalong 2013. We actually have some neat little prizes for those who have participated.... And hopefully we'll have all our ducks in a row and we'll be announcing the details for STASHBUSTING 2014!!

Good idea for the princess dresses! Happy New Year!
OMG I looooove that cardinal. Have bookmarked the pattern for future use. The Hug robot you made for your brother makes me giggle. I totally would have done the same thing.
Thanks, Happy New Year to you as well!
I know!! That lady makes gorgeous birds and I was so happy when mine turned out looking that nice. :)
The hugbot is FABULOUS! He promptly regifted it to my Dad so we blew up photo copies of it and taped it all over his room. He's going to know feel the love one way or another! ;)
I forgot to add that I'm so happy you are doing Stashbusting 2014! I must do a better job of stash busting on the new year if I want to save up for a new sewing machine.
Oooh new sewing machine is a great reason to save up! Do you know what kind you want to get?
Love the dress-up clothes. Great idea sewing the necklaces on.
Right now I'm leaning toward a Baby Lock. But it's gonna take at least a year to save up. Who knows what I might decide then. ;)
Thanks. I was pretty excited with how good it looked!
Nice. When I upgraded I went with a home industrial Necchi and it has been fabulous. Never heard of them before then but it powers through multiple layers of denim and leather with ease.
Your Christmas gifts are all so cute! Sending you very best wishes for a happy, healthy and productive 2014 :)
the princess dresses are fabulous!!! and i love that cardinal too!
