Sew busy!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Lately, of course, I’ve spent a lot of time getting acquainted with my new Brother Dream Machine.\u00c2\u00a0 But before my Dream came true<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0 I was kept busy with several small but important machine embroidery projects, like this one.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"com<\/a>

The Scripture design is from Designs by Juju, in her collection Heavenly Inspirations 1<\/a>. It was slightly modified to make room for the addition of the Bible design.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

This was made for our 10 year old granddaughter, Laurel, who needed a bag to carry her sizable notebook and Bible to her weekly Communicant Class (read “confirmation”) at our church.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"com<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you might expect, a monogram was added to the other side.\u00c2\u00a0 The bag has seen heavy usage these past weeks.<\/p>\n

Another quick project was a set of whimsical luncheon napkins.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 They coordinate with the Seaside Madeira Table Linens<\/a> I stitched last summer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The embroidery and gingham made this a more casual setting than the hemstitched linen napkins shown above.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The napkins were cut down gingham dishtowels\u00c2\u00a0 from All About Blanks<\/a> that I keep on hand.\u00c2\u00a0 The lime green gingham was a perfect color match for the linen on the placemats and tablecloth.<\/p>\n

This little project actually took more planning than I expected.\u00c2\u00a0 The number of letters varied and decisions had to be made about size and placement.\u00c2\u00a0 I chose to use the same font in PE-NEXT for each serviette but varied the size.\u00c2\u00a0 After careful consideration, I chose to have the bottom letter of each text be precisely the same distance from the gingham border.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of my first embroidery projects on my Dream Machine was embellishing \u00c2\u00a0two pairs of slippers for a Disney fan.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"black<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I had no idea they could be so easy to embroider.\u00c2\u00a0 The style with a velcro closure makes this a quick and easy project.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"white<\/a>

I just love these cupcakes.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stabilizer was hooped then the slipper flap was pinned and then basted in place.\u00c2\u00a0 The embroidery was a breeze.<\/p>\n

Aside from all the embroidery, I’ve just finished a darling pinafore (no embroidery but sooo cute!) for 2 yo granddaughter Vivian Rose.\u00c2\u00a0 I can’t show it yet as I was testing new pattern by Lisa at Mommy’s Apron Strings<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 It will be released very soon and this simple, versatile, adorable pattern surely will be very popular.\u00c2\u00a0 As soon as it is out, I will post a picture, hopefully with Vivi modeling.<\/p>\n
