Judy Moody Embroidery


Today I learned how to make images into embroidery designs with Stitch Era. At my house we love to read and one of our favorites is Judy Moody, anything Judy Moody. Of course an embroidery design would be awesome! My girls and I are also putting a quilt together. When I asked them what we should do with the test swatch, my oldest said, "make it a quilt block" and that is what we did.
I started with an easy one color design of Judy Moody. I had it from making the "Give your library bag character" post. I took it into Stitch Era, made it a vector image and the intelligent program wrote the embroidery file for me. Love That! A vector image is actually a mathematical formula, no matter how large or small the image is the resolution stays the same.  The embroidery software needs a vector image to create the embroidery stitches for your machine. 
It actually turned out really well!
This was just from a book image! That is amazing right! Ok, I am going to have try some more designs. Stitch Era is free software and it is available right now. BUT Stitch Era has a warning on their site that it won't be available forever. I have already started looking for new software. I am also a Mac user, so I would like software for my newer Mac machine. I did find two options Essentials Embrilliance and Macbroidery. Both will let you move and manipulate images that are ready-made embroidery designs but neither allow you to create your own images. So I continue to search.
If you would like the Judy Moody 4"X4" embroidery design here is the PES file.
Thanks for stopping by!

The Judy Moody Embroidery design is absolutely delightful! The character's charm and personality really shine through in the stitches. This design captures the essence of Judy Moody perfectly and would be a wonderful addition to any embroidery collection.

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....

Veruca Salt Dress

Every year we perform a musical and one of the highlights for me as a theater mom and seamstress is I get to make costumes! I love sewing and when I can sew for a show or for a music reason it is awesome! This year was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and I was able to recreate Veruca's red dress. The first step is to find a sewing pattern that I can manipulate to look like what the character needs.  I wanted to make the dress out of Pont de Roma fabric so it moved with the actress. Then I remembered the  Marianne Dress by Christine Haynes , it is perfect because it also had a peter pan collar. The peter pan collar did have some issues. I did not want a t-shirt binding. Also, the back of the collar did not have a collar. I drafted a back collar piece and since the opening was not stretchy, I created a keyhole with a button and loop closure. I lengthened the sleeves and used the cuffs from the pattern for long sleeves. Next, we added the buttons! We al...
