Hi,
I have a question about the sewing machine.
I usually make small stuff with felt hand sewn and now I really want to start with the sewing machine… but I don’t know which is best to buy, may you have some advice for me?
Hi Luisa! My advice is to do some research online to see what’s got good customer ratings. If you can go into a store that will let you try out the machines, that of course, would be best. I would invest in a big name brand that you can trust and don’t buy the cheapest machine out there ($100 or less), because you really will get what you pay for. I use a Brother PC-420 (a little bit about it here: http://youandmie.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/sneak-peek-new-sewing-machine/) and I really like it. Good luck!!
Hi Mie, thanks for the advice! I looked around the web but it makes me more confused, there are a lot of good and bad reviews about the same sewing machine… and I am totally new on this field! So I decided to ask you and than I’ll go into a store.
I am so excited about this purchase! It will be my Christmas present! I really can’t wait
Hello Cherie!
I’m sooooo glad that I find your website by a chance~^^
Your stuff are amazing! What a creative mom!
Best wishes to you and your lovely daughter.
Warm greetings from Istanbul/Turkey.
Hi-I had been thinking about doing a photo book for my grandson’s 1st birthday and yours helped me get started (actually finishing it today–birthday party is this Sunday). I have everything ready to put together, but I was not able to make square photos from the photos I had, I liked the uniformity of yours and was wondering if you would share with me how you managed to make them all square? I ended up using my embroidery software to do them a bit differently which I think will work fine, but all through my process I just keep wondering how you made them square. Hopefully, I will finish today and if all turns out well, I will send you a pic. I would like to make him more for at least the next two birthdays as our family grows. Thanks! Patty
Hi Patty! I actually cropped them into squares on my computer before printing them out. Depending on your photo editing software, there are different ways of cropping them into squares. Another option would be to print them out as 5×7 photos and then just cut them into the shape of a square after they are printed. I’d LOVE to see the book you made!!
I just saw this “pin” and am very excited!!! I have never botherd to look at the Japanese patterns, because I cannot read japanese!!!! love the styles and would love to make them for my 4 granddaughters. I like the fact that these patterns are not widely seen in stores, so my creations would be unique!
