ETA: Some links, a correction and formatting nasty.
I live in a new house. Weird how life turns out. I have a new, albeit smaller, sewing room and all my stuff moved here. As you could probably tell I took a summer sewing break to move and spend some quality time with my kiddos. They seem to be taking the move well. They love the new house.
My first sewing project is an easy one. I had several girl shirts that were booooooorrrrrrring (girls' terms, not mine). I used my handy dandy embroidery machine to add a little pop to them. All these designs are (maybe were?) free. I think I got all except the bird from Emblibrary.com EmbroiderThis.com. The bird was a freebie from UrbanThread.com. I am doing all my posts via iPhone so I can't make links and I'm sure all the formatting will be junk. When I get my Internet hooked up, I'll
reformat these posts.
I have several things to post about. I'll show you my new sewing digs. And, forgive me, but I have found the perfect RTW jeans and, GASP, bought some!!!! I'll show you those soon. I'm glad to be back!!!!!!
Hi Dawn, welcome back! I missed your fun and interesting posts. Those RTW jeans must be something else if they can beat (or even match) the success you had with your own 2 on 2 off Jalies.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Dawn. Hope you are doing ok.
ReplyDeleteNew is always good...welcome back! you and your inspiring creativity were missed...best, Tina
ReplyDeleteI've missed you and I'm glad you're back! Hang in there, kiddo!
ReplyDeleteHey Dawn. Good to see you again. Moving certainly takes a lot of effort!!
ReplyDeleteYour urchins will now be even more adorably adorned! Hope they and you are settling into the new place.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what you're inspired to whip up once you've had a chance to nest.
Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteDawn, it great to have you back *hugs*. It's good you're getting settled in your new place. Taking care of family always come first. It's quite alright you bought great RTW jeans. You can do it without guilt because you've already mastered the art of making your own great jeans!!!! You've inspired me to sew my own which I plan to do sometime this century!!! LOL!

ReplyDeleteMay only good things come into your new house, and may only good things come out of your new sewing room.
Dawn, so happy to see you back! You are such a sewing inspiration. I admit the saggy boob failure was funny but glad to see it replaced by the adorable embroidery. Best wishes in the new house.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, so glad you weren't put off forever by the saggy boob fail :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you all settle well in to your new place, looking forward to your posts - even if it is about the RTW (gasp) jeans Lol.
Dawn, so glad that you are back, although moving certainly counts as a great excuse for not posting lately. Glad that is behind you and hope you and the children will be happy in your new house. Can't wait to see your new sewing room and all of your ever-inspiring projects.
ReplyDeleteWow - sudden move! What a shame...hadn't your husband just converted the garage into a sewing room for you? Well, you'll have fun setting up a new one...Looking forward to new projects from you!
