Isn't it beautiful! This is what I got for Mothers Day. My old one ( a hand me down from like early 1960's) finally hit the dust. Well it made dust when it's all metal frame came into contact with the cement floor in the basement. Oops. After many attempts to fix the bobbin issue and a few calls to the Singer people (in India?). We broke down and went to Joanne's and purchased this model. I LOVE IT! I can sew a beautiful straight line. I have hemmed scrubs, and made Twirly Skirts for my girls. I am attempting this week to make pajamas for Kenna. I am nervous as this involves lines that are not all straight. I only had to call my mom 10 times before I got started. This was my first "sewing without someone who knows what they are doing right beside me experience." Brad's mom came for a visit and helped a little with my first skirt. After that I became slightly out of control and have made 4 for each kid. Here are a few of them. I also have made a sundress for them when we go to the beach.
Are they not adorable! I can think of a few girls who need to have twirly skirts, Whitney (Jess just have mom see link below), Rivka's little girl would look ravishing in one as she is about the same size as Bryn. Bonnie's girls and Bonnie's niece Molly (Bonnie DO NOT talk to Savannah while sewing)! And Paige and Rylee. Here is the website to go to for a tutorial on how to do it. Have fun!http://houseonhillroad.typepad.com/photos/twirly_skirt/index.html

You did SO GOOD!!! Call me if you need help with the non-straight lines. Somethings are easier in person :)
Sooooo adorable AD! I may need to borrow a sewing machine from a friend and make Paige one since that is all she will wear.
so so cute! love it. it was so good to see you guys the other night! girls sure are getting big! :)
Good work! I do not have the patience for sewing!
These are adorable! Thanks for the idea...Kate really does need some of these. I'm definitely trying that this month. I'll post on my blog when I'm done.
Good job Adee!! I am impressed you can sew a straight line. Apparently I am the only one of us that can't sew in a straight line. Maybe if I was thousands of miles away I would have no choice but to learn but with mom right around the corner, it is not very of necessity. Of course, I would probably just be broke for buying everything.
yeah, how wonderful to have a new sewing machine. i love mine, too, that I got for Christmas last year. and great job on figuring out the skirts and the sundress...all very cute! now I want to make matching ones for Marie and me, for the beach! can't wait to go.
