A Romper

Well, once again it's not a quilt, but it's a finish none the less.  A shower gift for a neighbor to give as a gift made by your's truly.  I love the little trains chugging along, and the little train buttons.

Romper for a little boy

I'm happy to say this one took no time at all, and I have another one cut out and ready to sew.  

Today I attended a class at Tomorrow's Treasures Quilt Shop on the the Brother PR 1000, and all the amazing thing's it can do.  I have a Brother PR 600 ll six needle machine, which I have had for quite a while now, and it's good, but I am really ready for an upgrade.  This baby has ten needles, and a camera, and lots, and lots of other amazing additions which my six needle will never be able to do.

Love my six needle as I do, but this baby is at the top of my new wish list.

Happy piecing, happy embroidery,

It's not a quilt.

I finished the most adorable little onesie today.  The pattern is called "Taylor",  and it's made by Children's Corner, and come's in sizes 3 month's to 24 month's all in one pattern.  I haven't sewn clothing in years.  It was really fun, and I think I might make more in the very near future.  Our dear friend's are expecting their first Grandchild, a girl, and working at Tomorrow's Treasures http://www.tomorrowstreasures.info, and seeing the adorable little dresses that the Owner Vickie has been making recently got me in the mood to attempt this little cutie.  Piping was the hardest part, though I did have other issue's along my journey.

Who am I kidding, piping ain't easy!

What was I thinking?

I started this on Sunday, aka: Mothers Day.  I wanted to have it finished today so that I could take it to my guild meeting this evening for "show and tell".  The whole time I was working on it I thought to myself that "this is a test".  But now that it's finished I think it's good enough for the new family member.  My next big project is making a little label for it, "made by: Me".

Piping on.  Looking pretty good.

Oops!  My iron was just a little too hot

Once I got the piping sewn to the tiny garment, I was feeling pretty confident.  Then came the time to press the seams open on the lining fabric, and oops...too hot an iron.  Oh no...Well, lucky me I had to go to work Monday morning, and I got new lining fabric, so no harm done.

Oh my goodness it's coming together!

Then the next hurdle...Buttonholes...I haven't done a buttonhole in a very long time, and defiantly not on my new to me Bernina 350 Patchwork addition.  Once I figured it out, and did one buttonhole, that wonderful little sewing machine remembered the buttonhole and did it again.   I was all over happy and singing the Happy song this afternoon.

I did it, I figured out how to make a buttonhole.  Yeah Me!  

After all that drama, which I am not a fan of, I did get the tiny little onesie finished with time on my hands so I made some Mac and cheese for my guilds Anniversay pot luck dinner tonight.   I hope it's well received from the Mommy to be, and I hope to make one more along with a minky quilt both finished by this Saturday, May 17th.  

Finished onesie.  Amen!

Here's to "Happy" sewing, piecing, crafting, piecing.  Man I'm feeling pretty proud of this little outfit.
