On a similar note, has anyone ever tried the pleating foot and what did you use it for? It looks awesome!

Just in time for the first day of school…..
The new school year started for us and I couldn‚Äôt find a backpack I liked for my daughter.¬† So when I can‚Äôt find something; I make it!¬† I was able to find a plain canvas backpack from eco gear and a quick stop at that craft store for a few D-rings, snap hooks, and trim.¬† I used a Baby Lock Ellageo Plus, Designer’s Gallery Letter Works software*, and my imagination to create this one of a kind backpack.
A Backpack Transformation -- From Plain to Preppy in Less Then A Day
Did you (or will you) send your child off to school with or in something made by you?  We would love to hear what you made.
*If you do not have a lettering software program, you can download a free trial version of Designer’s Gallery Letter Works here.¬† This is the software I use most often and there is no need to purchase additional fonts or spend time aligning letters.

I have been working on baby blankets and recently found a time saver.  I used to pin pleats on the satin ribbon and then sew on the minky fabric.  After a few blankets and  a lot of time, I purchased a ruffler foot.   You can actually ruffle satin onto the fabric at the same time.  I wish I had gotten a ruffler foot a little sooner.  Now I am looking for projects that need ruffles!  Pillow cases, dresses, etc.

Being a busy, working mom of two small kids, I love to use clothes that my kids already have and some other materials from around the house to make their Halloween costumes.¬† That’s what my parents did when I was young, and that’s what I do.¬† I made this costume with that in mind.
