<span style="font-size: large;">If you have hopped over to the new blog and tried to sign up this morning you are going to have trouble finding the button to sign up! Apparently in some of our updating that button decided to take a bit of a vacation. Our web person is on it, so please be patient and hopefully it will be back by tomorrow. I'll keep you posted!</span><br />

<i><span style="font-size: large;">After months and months of work we have the new website up and going. Along with all the other bells and whistles that the website has the new blog is now only a click away on the home page. Fortunately, learning to blog on Word Press has not been terribly difficult, but it will take a bit of work to get all of the old blog posts moved. So.....the old blog will still be here if you need to refer back, but to continue on the blogging journey with us you will need to go to the new website at </span><span style="color: #cc0000;"><a href="http://creationsbymichie.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">http://creationsbymichie.com/</span></a></span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Our week has been filled with planning meetings, time for stitching, a mini creative retreat for the girls, and plenty of time spent outdoors. As the Easter weekend approaches, we will be switching gears to family arriving, cooking, laughing, hunting Easter eggs, and of course Easter service. We hope you have a wonderful Easter with your family and friends and can take the time to focus on the true meaning of Easter. "He is risen!"</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>See you next week! </i></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I'm often asked about marking fabric for embroidery. My all time favorite is the Dritz brand fine tip water erasable fabric marking pen. The traced design shows up nicely on light colored fabric and rinses away in cold water once the embroidery is completed.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Tracing the design:</b> </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The white broadcloth was thin enough to lay directly on the design and trace. For denser fabric you can tape the design and fabric to a brightly lit window which gives the effect of a light box. Turning a clear baking dish upside down and placing a small flashlight underneath also works well. After years and years of transferring designs, I recently bought a 10" by 12" light box from Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon. The light box has become a well loved addition to my creative space!</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Our <a href="http://www.creationsbymichie.com/embroidery.htm"><span style="color: magenta;">"Heirloom Embroidery Book"</span></a> includes 16 basic stitches along with many embroidery designs to choose from. </i></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>This is not the first time in my many years of sewing that I fell in love with buttons and designed an outfit around them! I often use pretty buttons as the focal point and keep the rest of the outfit simple. <a href="http://www.creationsbymichie.com/babyromper.htm"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Pattern #133</span></a> had the look I was going for and navy DMC floss tied the white pique' fabric and white and navy buttons together.</i></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>To keep things simple, I added a Running Stitch to the collar.</i></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Is there a secret for keeping the stitching straight and even? Yes there is! </i></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mw7k7Kd-hdE/VPjEkTzm24I/AAAAAAAAF-Q/7FvwX0xi2nY/s1600/running%2Bstitch%2Bcollar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mw7k7Kd-hdE/VPjEkTzm24I/AAAAAAAAF-Q/7FvwX0xi2nY/s1600/running%2Bstitch%2Bcollar.jpg" height="308" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Cut out the collars; starch and press. Using a wash-away marker, mark the seam allowance around the outer edge of the collar. Thread the sewing machine with thread the same color as the collar. Set the stitch length to the length you would like your Running Stitch and stitch 1/4" from the seam allowance. Thread a hand sewing needle with 3 strands of embroidery floss and stitch the Running Stitch close to the machine stitching using it as a guide. When the stitching is completed, tie off the floss and pull out the machine stitching. Attach the lining to the collar and complete the garment. :)</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>In my ever ending attempt to organize my buttons in a manner that keeps them grouped together leading to, "wow, here are the right buttons for the right project" I am trying small zip bags. The little bags are intended for jewelry making and came packaged as 100 for $1.99. Now, instead of a drawer of loose buttons and partly used cards of buttons, they are in the bags with color groups pinned together. I find it a bit exciting to open the drawer and be able to tell, in just a few seconds, if I already have appropriate buttons on hand for my latest project.</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I know you are wondering who on earth has time to sit and sort buttons! Well, it is snowing hard, which is unusual for our area, so I found this to be a good project to work on while also being able to sit in front of the window watching the formation of a winter wonderland! :)</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>It is always nice when the <a href="http://creationsbymichie.blogspot.com/2015/02/spring-sewing-for-my-granddaughter.html">dress you envisioned</a> turned out like you...envisioned! A green gingham bishop style dress, trimmed with pink rickrack and pictured smocked bunnies. Picture smocking works well on this style dress as long as you limit the number of pictures, which in this case would be the bunnies. Three is a nice number without being overwhelming. </i></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F5NL5-ZEGqA/VO4vbTKaBAI/AAAAAAAAF7o/J5zMnpXnWS0/s1600/feb%2B15%2B025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F5NL5-ZEGqA/VO4vbTKaBAI/AAAAAAAAF7o/J5zMnpXnWS0/s1600/feb%2B15%2B025.JPG" height="470" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Things to note: The bunnies were centered on the front and close enough together that I didn't have to picture smock on the shoulder seam. Instead of a row of cable stitches right below the neckband, the cable row was moved up and is covered by the neckband. Not only did this give the dress an uncluttered look, it was much easier not having to line the neckband up perfectly to a smocked row. A five step Trellis stitch was used for the pink and white smocking at the bottom and a cable stitch was used for the back smocking on the wrong side of the fabric.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Spring will be here before we know it, so it is time to get busy smocking and sewing for my four-year-old granddaughter. The bishop style dresses are still very sweet on her and the green gingham will give the dress a fresh look. Ellen McCarn's "Precious Bunnies" is one of my long time favorite smocking designs and with a few adjustments will work well. To adapt the smocking design to the bishop style dress, I will only smock three bunnies on the center front of the dress and change the bottom row of smocking to a suitable trellis stitch. Not only will this allow for the smocked pleats to spread out as needed, but I also like the idea of smocking three bunnies instead of a bunch! I'll be sharing more photos of the dress this week as it progresses. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>* A special note to Grandma's and Nana's- When sewing for the grandchildren, I refer to what would obviously be an Easter outfit as a "Spring" outfit. This gives Mommy the freedom to pick out something herself without worrying about offending me. It is my goal to respect Mommy by letting her choose HER child's wardrobe.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Blue and white, always pretty and sweet.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The smocking design is still in the works, but in the meantime another design could be used. And the variation? Simply start and stop the bottom rows of smocking at the sleeve seams. Not only does it give a different look, it also allows the angel sleeves to stand up a bit more.</i></span><br />

<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes a project needs something bolder than delicate embroidery. Fabric paint, heart stencils, and Cotton Pearl #5 embroidery thread were perfect for a Valentine's Day apron. Since I used what I had on hand for the project, which did not include heart stencils, I used heart cookie cutters and freezer paper. With the shiny side down, the freezer paper heart "stencils" were cut out with small scissors and pressed onto the apron with a hot iron. The only trick to the fabric paint was to brush the paint from the outer edge of the stencil toward the center to prevent it from bleeding under the edges of the stencil. I let the paint dry for about four hours, then began stitching. A basic Running Stitch and Back Stitch to outline the hearts was all that was needed!</span></i><br />

<i><span style="font-size: large;">I like to keep thread and paints on hand so the cost of the project was the apron for $4.99 at Hobby Lobby. This would be a great project for someone new to embroidery and easy to do with kids. You can just let your imagination run wild on what you would like to add hearts to. A few of the many things I thought of are tote a bag, onesie, sweatshirt, tea towel, or placemats. Just have fun with it.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Fifteen years ago I slowly began to turn my hobby into a small business. With years of sewing experience and having worked in a specialty fabric store I knew what sewers were looking for and I had the vision. I drafted the first two patterns on the kitchen table, tested, and worked countless hours on the directions and illustrations. With $200 in hand I found a local printer who was willing to print small amounts at a time and I was ready to test the waters at the wholesale market. I was nervous. Very, very nervous, but a kind person offered a corner of her booth and walked me through the process. And the patterns? They sold out!</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Now 15 years later I still work from home, the same local printers have become like family, and I have two great helpers. We are looking forward to introducing a new updated website along with new patterns, embroidery, and smocking designs in the near future. And we will continue to produce classic patterns in order to keep the creative art of sewing alive.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Thank you for your support. You have enabled me to pursue my passion and make a dream come true!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Choosing floss colors for smocking on pink fabric can be a bit tricky. I often use white along with other shades of pink, but for this project I wanted something a bit different. Pink and gray are a popular color combination for clothing and home decorating, so why not for smocking? DMC #415 gray and #604 pink looks nice on the pink Imperial Broadcloth fabric without being too bold or too pale.</i></span><br />
