I
made this pillow using the built in rose design on the Singer XL-1000. The
rose was rotated and mirror imaged 4 times to create the circle, then sewn
out using the multi-hoop feature of the machine. |

|
The
lampshade uses a design from the PSW library. (Singer software) I changed
some of the fills to a step satin stitch, mirrored the design and placed
one on top of the other. There are 3 of these designs going around the
lampshade. |

I made this sports bag out of
window screen. It has a drawstring closure and a shoulder strap for
easy carrying. It measures 21"Hx18"Wx5"D. It's great for
taking to practice, the beach, or putting dirty laundry in on
vacation. Embroider whatever designs you'd like on it. I modified one of
my Sport Tags for this bag.

bag, CLICK HERE.

I made this water bottle holder out of
window screening to take to the gym. Some of the machines there don't
have a holder for water bottles. The strap fits around the handles of the
machines and velcro holds it. The water bottle easily slides out of the
holder. It doesn't matter if the screening gets wet. I embroidered
dragonflies on it to match my tote shown far left. The water bottle holder
will also fit over a belt so you can carry water with you anywhere! To

appliquéd on. The
birds are from Balboa and the leaves are from Pea
Patch. |

Donna makes bookmarks and
pencil toppers from my sucker holder designs with her grandkids.
Below are her instructions. Thanks Donna!

Bookmarks
|
 Pencil
Toppers |
|
This is how I do the book marks, when the machine stops to place the back piece of fabric on the back of the hoop, place a piece of ribbon, cord or a strip of felt, at the spot
I want it to hang from. Place the backing felt over the the design, put the hoop back on the machine and stitch out the satin stitch outline. |
To make the tag a pencil topper, stitch out the whole design EXCEPT for the stitching lines for the sucker.
Cut a square of fusible web or a square of double sided adhesive. Fold in half to
get center. Next, cut a vertical rectangle out of the web/adhesive for the pencil to rest in. The best way to do this is lay the pencil on the tag, mark and cut that piece out. Iron the web to the front, peel the paper off and iron the back piece of fabric on. Then trim it. Some times I have to stitch the designs out of order, but heck you do anything for your grand
kids! ~Donna |
