Machine embroidery!

I bought a used Brother Duetta and am having so much fun with it.  Now I have to figure out what I can do with my embroidery!  Here are some things I have done so far.  It has taken me awhile to load these so they show right side up!














More costumes

I made a pinbib for a customer in Australia.


 It was fun to research what that was and make it to her precise measurements.  She was kind enough to send me a pic wearing it.

It was a Civil War era (well maybe not in Australia) pin bib.



Here is one Denise and I made for an 18 month old being dressed as Nacho Libre for Halloween.





I hope we get some pics from this one!














And we got them!!


















I made Riley a Superman cape but he won't wear it so Keely did at least for a photo.





viking costumes

I got hired through Etsy Alchemy to create costumes of characters in the movie How to Train your Dragon.  It was a lot of fun but a real grind to meet the deadline for Halloween.  My dear friend Denise pitched in and we got them done.  I am posting photos but they would be much better on real bodies.  I hope to get photos later

Here are Astrid, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut
