Aww you have a baby blue too! I have that same sewing machine and I'm in love with it. It is lightweight yet powerful. My sister's fancy singer is wimpier than my baby blue! lol. Anyways great quilt!

It's the very first sewing machine that I've owned. I bought it when I was 17, It's turning 11 this year!

Happy 11th!  Mine is 4 going on 5.

  I am about to attempt to sew McCall's 5838 it's a girl's dress in view A. The requirements for the fabric call for 1 1/2 yds for a 45" and 1 1/4 yds for 60" plus 1/2 yd for contrast. I have 2 yds of a melon colored gingham and no contrast. I was hoping to be able to do the contrast pieces or the other ones on the bias and the other going the right way. Since I do not have extra fabric I am trying to be conservative with what I do have.

The pattern says it is a self lining bodice. It has a bodice front, and two front stays. The directions have you attach one bodice front to one front stay, than it says to reserve the other stay for lining, which gets attached later. Does this mean once everything is finished the bodice front is the piece that shows when worn, the one stay is in the middle, and the lining is on the inside? Does this mean I can use other plain white fabric for the two stay pieces with out it showing? Thank you for your help, I know this post is kind of long, and hopefully not too confusing!

Oh the green one is my favorite! Love green. What pattern is this, or is it your own?

Oh I still haven't made some yet, it's on my to do list! What pattern did you do? Those turned out great. If that is a real tattoo on your butt that is hilarious, especially if it's true!
