I have not made this dress, but I have worked with chiffon. Since it is slippery, placing tissue paper under the fabric before cutting ( pinning as nec) keeps the fabric from shifting. You can also sew the seams with the…"

annamc commented on the group 'Sewing For Babies'"Hi! I know that you are excited! A very easy quilt is made by just buying a yd of print fabric, a yd of flannel fabric and putting a thin cotton batting in between and sewing the entire "sandwich " around the edges ( leave an opening for…"
annamc commented on the group 'Husqvarna Viking Users'"thanks for the tip. Do you buy Nettler online? I hope that I can continue to use the thread I already have, but I may need to change. I never had thread issues with my other Hus. This doesn't seem right that the most expensive machine…"
annamc replied to the discussion 'A demonstration of smocking embroidery.' in the group Hand Smocking"I was out of pocket for a few weeks, I think that I would like to find the prepleated fabric a great idea. I could practice the stitches."
annamc commented on the group 'Husqvarna Viking Users'"I am now getting the hang of the serger, I do wish that the web site actually had a video with someone talking thru the instructions. I know that it is cheaper to make presentations, but our machines aren't cheap.
Today was one of those days…"

- Hello Anna: congratulations on your two new grandbabies!! I have a 20 month old grandson and my daughter is expecting in February so I will be neck and neck with you in the race to accumulate grandchildren. I cannot believe how much we have enjoyed our little grandson. Fortunately for us he lives only 15 minutes away. My daughter on the other hand lives in Nova Scotia which is about 1000 miles away.....thank goodness for seat sales!!
what pattern did you use for your baby accessories? My daughter in law is all about 'brand name' but my daughter is already asking for homemade. I got a new Diamond (Viking - not sparkling) this spring so I am anxious to start churning things out for this new grandbaby. Any hints or direction you can pass on would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch :)
