Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I ended up finding a pattern with another designer ( peek a boo pattern shop). What do you think?

What a good idea, H.

That’s great news, T. So pleased for you and family. Chloe will love the extra attention.

The invitation says “under the sea”
I’m not sure it’s intended for me.
But I’ll dress as a fish
And I’ll come if I wish

Hi Kristen, I would be concerned about the sleeves. They are fairly narrow on this top. The combo that Audrey did looks great and would be a good sleeve solution.

Oh yes! Important to do a “good copy”😀

I am trying to find someone who knows the difference between the janome coverpro 900 and the 1000, other than $400!! I know the 1000 can use up to 3 needles, and the 900 only 2, and the 1000 has something called a seam tightening system, and I don’t know what that is, so don’t know if I need it. I only want to hem t-shirts. Nothing fancy.…[Read more]
