Hey Thieves, This One's For You!

I use Google Analytics to check out how my blog is doing.  This blog is pretty important for me, because it's the main way I publicize my business.  Found out that some thieves are stealing my blog posts and putting them up on their own sites.  Without permission.   Don't steal my shit and pretend I submitted it to your site.  Don't blame your crawling bots either and act butthurt when I call you on it because I'll have you going down faster than your mom on a Saturday night.

I have ways of dealing with this.  I'm happy to change my source links around so they redirect to other places.  If your readers want to know what a Lemonparty or Tubgirl is, I'll be happy to accommodate them. I'll reiterate...I know people. 

And for chrissakes, if you're going to translate and mistranslate my writing, at least have it make some fucking sense, okay?  I don't speak Engrish, nor do my readers.

So indulge me, and allow me to use the wall o' text for a minute:

Read the top right column on this blog.  Read it carefully.

See where it says, "...don't be an asshole and steal my pictures, artwork, or writing without permission and proper credit."

If you steal from me, you will be dealt with promptly and swiftly, and you won't like it

I promise.


Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

XOXO, PB

Mother's Little Helper (Not Valium...this time anyway)

This is my Mother's Little Helper.  The Stones were onto something, but screw that:


Clear 2" packing tape, baby.  I use it for everything.  Some people are all about the duct tape, I'm all about the the clear packing tape.  Why?  Because if you have kids (like I do) that shred their books, their precious artwork, and anything else they can shove in their mouths, you can put it back together and it's just about permanent on paper. 

Besides using it to pack my customer's packages, I can use it in machine embroidery.  Now, are you thinking I'm really half assed here, and just not hooping properly?  Not exactly. 


This is embroidery onto a 4x6x4 prefold cloth diaper.  I'm converting it into an embroidered burp cloth.  4x6x4 means 4 layers of cotton on the sides, 6 layers in the center.  Not only does that make a terrific, absorbent burp cloth, but it makes one hell of a challenge in embroidery.

Prior to getting a machine with a larger embroidery field, this material was too thick to hoop so I'd have to go with an adhesive stabilizer such as Sulky Sticky Plus or Sulky Spray Adhesive and go the hoopless embroidery route.  However, now I have a large enough hoop to hoop the whole diaper...but I have to unscrew it all the way and it's still a real crush getting it on there because the material is that thick.  This hoop isn't going to last me very long before I have to replace it!  And because it's six layers, it's nearly impossible to make the top layer stretched taut without the whole thing popping apart.

My solution...apply a layer of packing tape across the entire side of two sides (grains) of the material.  Stretching it across both grains might result in some puckering, but that packing tape held the top layer taut for long enough to do some great embroidery. 

This particular item is part of a custom order (you can get yours too) but I hope to have some of these as stock items shortly.

Duct tape, who needs ya???  Clear 2" packing tape FTW!!

The Guts of a Sewing Machine; and Read the Manual, Stupid!

I'm still working out the little kinks in my new Brother PE 770 Embroidery Machine.  I love it, but I noticed that the tension of the backs of my designs was way too tight.  I was starting to get pissed because I was under the impression that the machine corrected the tension itself.

Well...it would help if I would RFTM instead of being a smart ass and zipping along without reading it.  D'oh.

Bobbin thread comes in several different weights: 60 and 90 are the main weights (the higher the number, the finer the thread.)  Being a dumbass who doesn't read the manual, I popped in the 60 weight threaded bobbins from my Brother SE-350 and started embroidering away. And wondering why my tension was all screwed up.



Ideally, your embroidery should not have any bobbin thread showing on the right side of the design, and just a trace of the main thread on the wrong side.  When your bobbin thread is too loose, bobbin thread will appear slightly on the right side of the fabric.  When the bobbin thread is too tight, you will hardly see the bobbin thread on either side of the material.

My bobbin thread was too tight. Looked like I wasn't even using any!  First I tried to manually adjust the tension on the machine, that didn't fix it.  Reluctantly, I removed the bobbin, and pulled out the entire race, then using a small flatheaded screwdriver, I loosened a screw that controls the bobbin's tension.  I was pissed--shouldn't this machine have been pretty much right on coming straight from the factory?

Then I realized it.

I was using the wrong weight of bobbin thread.  Whoops.  Manual said to use 90 weight bobbin thread.

Then, I put the race in wrong and it got stuck.  I had to unscrew the entire throatplate to get it out.

So for shits and giggles, here's what the guts of a Brother PE-770 without the race looks like:


What a fun reference pic, eh?  Almost as cool as watching paint dry!!

Lesson learned: read the manual, stupid!

Burp Cloths...putting the fun in functional!

I see a lot of folks selling burp cloths online these days, but sewing a ribbon or doing some embroidery on a 2-ply birdseye gauze rag isn't going to give it magical absorption properties.  Face it...burp cloths are for wiping up vomit at first, then piss and poo later.  And then who knows what else...washing your car?  Washing your windows?

I distinguish myself by being the only seller I know of selling embroidered burp cloths embroidered on 4x6x4 prefold cloth diapers.  In layman's terms, this means 4 layers on the side panels, and 6 layers in the center.  The majority of sellers I see are selling cheap gauze, or the "heavy duty" diapers, which are better, but not great and can be bought at major retailers.  Not mine!  Even better, I have a General Conformity Certificate from the distributor that the materials are CPSIA compliant...not that it matters because natural fibers are exempt from CPSIA regulations, but safety is my number one concern. 

Many sellers claim their materials are "diaper service quality" diapers, but no diaper service on earth is going to put Gerber birdseye gauze in their rotation unless they want to go out of business instantly.  There is no official standard for what makes something "DSQ" but that doesn't stop unscrupulous sellers from selling you a false bill of goods.  Buyer beware!

Furthermore, I also wash and dry (boil and incinerate, essentially) these dipes before I embroider on them.  This makes them less square and harder to embroider onto.  However, it also ensures the embroidery isn't ruined when you're washing them the same.

The nice thing about DSQs is that they become more absorbent with additional washing.  They "quilt" when they're washed.  While this doesn't look as attractive straight out of the dryer, it's not the same as shrinkage, and it takes 20 seconds and a very hot iron to make it flat again.

Here's a pic illustrating how a DSQ looks coming out of the dryer:


Now, if you're using one of my burp cloths strictly for decoration, go ahead and spend that 30 seconds ironing it.  You won't ruin it.  However, reflecting back on my days with a newborn, I didn't have time to eat, let alone iron.

But rest assured, your product will be even more functional and absorbent, just a little bumpy.  Everyone else selling embroidered burp cloths makes the assumption that you'll drape them gently over your rocking chair and that's the end of its function and never wash them, which is BS.  Their buyers are in for a real shock the first time they wash and dry those burp cloths.  Not only do they have the absorbency of sandpaper, they'll shrink like crazy.  I guarantee my embroidery won't disintegrate either, assuming you're not bleaching them  My embroidery can stand up to bleach at first because I use polyester thread so the color won't run, but the bleach will definitely break down the fibers.  For that, I don't recommend using bleach at all.  Use the hottest water you have, and if any stains remain, hang it in the sun for a couple hours.  Forget the bleach, plus it's bad for the environment and won't get out any bacteria that very hot boiling water can't. 

When I cloth diapered my kids (I used fitted dipes, not flat folds) I washed even the nastiest, poopiest cloth diapers using the Sanitary cycle in my front loader, then hung them in the sun to dry.  No stains, bright white, and they lasted forever because the fibers didn't break down from excessive exposure to detergents and harsh bleaches or enzymatic cleaners.  Then I resold them!  As far as I know, they're on they're 3rd owner (and at least 4th kid) and still going strong!

Anyway, here's another gigantic (literally) advantage to using quality products over mass marketed Gerber dipes:


Notice the middle section is wider.  What's this mean?  BETTER EMBROIDERY!  Bigger letters, cooler designs!  I took this pic without flash so you could see that they're not perfectly flat non-absorbent rags.  Gerber heavy duty dipes are fine, but you'll get a prettier burp cloth out of a DSQ!

FontoFAILia

Fonts.  I have a love/hate relationship with them.  It seems the fonts that look the best printed on paper look the worst when rendered into embroidery.

Take the "handwriting" style of font I offer.  It looks great on some stuff, like this hat:


Then I tried to use it on an apron, and it turned out like total shit.


The software was compensating for the gaps in the font by adding extra stitches.  And apparently I needed to use a heavier stabilizer because I had stitches pulling out, even!  (Yes, I blame my software, as I am omnipotent...and this is my blog, y'all!) 

The stabilizer thing was curious.  This is a semi-heavy twill material.  Generally, the heavier the material the lighter the stabilizer.  I used Sulky Stiffy (don't laugh, that's the name, for realz) and it tore away cleanly and the design was disintegrating. 

I edited the design for a different font, and switched to a permanent cutaway stabilizer.  Same sized letters, much different results:


So, the moral of this story: please be flexible when making your font selections for a product.  Some fonts will scale and render great.   Sometimes, there might be a letter in there that just won't render properly, or scale up/down cleanly.  There is no sure-fire font that will turn out perfect every time.  (Oh hey, I bet Comic Sans would, ha!)

If I'm doing your product and it's not turning out to my standards, I'll let you know before I continue work.  I'm all about transparency, even if it makes me look like an idiot.

Fontophilia!

I admit it.  I'm a bit of a font whore.  Unfortunately for me, not all fonts lend themselves well to embroidery.

For example...many cursive fonts look sloppy when embroidered (except for the ones that are hard installed on my hardware).  Same with serifed fonts.

I'll make a confession...even though it's probably the most popular female child embroidery font...I really dislike it.  Curlz....


This is a font that does not lend itself well to embroidery.  It has a lot of serifs and I think it looks a bit sloppy when embroidered.  But if you really like it, you're the customer!

I have some very cute alternatives to the Curlz font.  These are the actual font names, BTW:


But as I've mentioned before, I've drawn the line at Comic Sans.  I don't feel the Comic Sans love.  When I worked in the defense industry, one of my male coworkers would make up his spreadsheets and e-mails using the Comic Sans font.  PowerPoint presentations too.  It's really difficult to read something like, "we're hemorrhaging money and the project is weeks overdue and the customer is about to put out a stop work order!" when it's written in Comic Sans.  I mean, it's a font that was created for popout windows in Microsoft Bob.  It's a lighthearted font used in so many inappropriate situations, like the scenario I mentioned above.

Take a good look at this:

Look how well it lends itself to embroidery!  Nice fixed width, no serifs, smooth edges. 

And still, I won't embroider it.  As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to uninstall this font on my laptop right now.

Sorry, Comic Sans lovers.  I know you're out there, but like the sign says, I can't help you here!

My Favorite Feet - The Gathering Foot

This will be the first post in a series of posts about (drum roll) sewing feet.

I'm sure this will be exciting to everyone who likes to sew, and about as boring as watching paint dry if machine sewing is of no interest to you.  Carry on then.  Otherwise, stay tuned.

Click to enlarge for detail.


I'mma gonna talk about the Gathering Foot today.


This is for making gathers in fabric, either stand alone, or sewn to another piece of fabric.  Generally, most machine feet attach to the shank, this is one of the feet that requires for the shank to be detached, and then this foot attaches directly to the presser foot bar.

The bottom of the foot touches the material to be gathered, which is controlled by the machine's tension and driven by the feed dogs.

There is a slot between the top of the foot and the bottom; you can insert material here that is not to be gathered, but will have the gathered material sewn to it.

For very tight gathers, increase the tension on your machine.  Hold the fabric that's not being gathered (what goes through that slot), let the feed dogs gather and stitch the lower layer of material, and manually move the top fabric to which the gathers are being attached.

Clear as mud?  Here is is in action sewing a Chef's Hat


Note the white material is being gathered by the action of the feed dogs moving the fabric along.  (Higher tension, more gathers).  I held the red material in my hand and slowly fed it along.

When sewing gathers, it's important to gather evenly.  For instance, you don't want all your gathers on one side, and the other side flat because you blew it all too early.  What I do is mark off in relative increments, and match them up as I sew.

For example: I marked the white material in 4 equal increments (it was much larger than the red band).  I did the same with the red material, and pinned the material together at the marks.  As I sewed, I could see my progress and whether or not I needed to increase or decrease the gathering.  It doesn't have to be perfectly even, and it does take practice.

It's a useful foot to have.  Before I had a gathering foot, I would baste the material, pull the thread until it gathered (and hoped the thread didn't break), stitch it down again, then sew it to the other piece of material to which it needed to be attached.  Or, I'd end up pinning gathers like crazy and having to stitch over a million pins (which would usually result in a broken needle eventually).

Not expensive either.  I think I paid $6 for this foot.  And for the time and hassle it saves me when making gathers, it's totally worth it!

Get Your Chef Hats - Kids and Adults too!

I'm pickled tink to announce my Chef Hats are now available for sale!  Check 'em out!


Inside seams are all serged, so no fraying.  Wash it, destroy it, whatever you can do to it!  Here's an inside out view...no one shows you what the inside of their hats looks like because theirs are full of Velcro and raw edges.  Not mine!!


The best part?  Every other chef hat out there has Velcro to secure it.  This is of my own design and uses 1.5" wide non-roll sports elastic securely attached to the rear seam.  Stretches and conforms to the size of your noggin without squeezing it. 

And you can put your name on it.


You can choose your color too, red isn't the only color!  I pair these with a white top, but if you want a different color other than white, we can work that out too.


Choose your font too!  Here's a couple suggestions, but I can do any true-type font (except Comic Sans, we covered this last night, y'all). 


Pair yours up with an apron and start cooking in style! 

Are you all grown up and want your own chef hat too?  No problem, send me your measurements and I'll work out a quote for you, depending on the size of your noggin.  If you are pumpkinheaded, I have you covered too.

Bon Appetit!!

What a Wasted Week!

Seriously.  I am trying to get work done this week.  I sit down at my laptop intent on blogging, pimping myself out, or working on a design.  Then I get distracted by TMZ and sites like Gallery of the Absurd, and next thing I know it's like 3 hours later and I haven't accomplished shit.

But.  I did manage to update my new apron design.  New colors!  New choices!  Check it out!

The Apron:


Here's where it gets fun.  Pick your twill color:


Pick your trim color:


Pick a ribbon accent...I can even add a little bow if you'd like!



Pick a font...here's a few suggestions, but I can do any true type font...or anything else you can think of.  By popular demand, I hereby refuse to do the Comic Sans font. 


Ta da!  Want yours?  Get some here!

Now tomorrow, if I can drag my ass offline long enough, I'll have chef hats on the table.  Dig it??

A Life Sized Representation of The Huz...with a Chef Hat!

I made The Huz a very nice chef hat.  The top is starched to give it some body, and all interior seams are serged.  It came out great!  There's a 1.5" wide band of sports elastic inside the band, and it's stitched to the seam, so it won't roll or become displaced. 

However, since he refused to pose with it, I am representing his head with a balloon.  And to be a smart ass, I added some prison teardrop tats and devilish facial hair.  And I put it in his spot of the bed, heh.


Get yours at my store soon.  They'll be available in toddler, child, adult, and in this special case, giant pumpkinhead size. 

More Felty Goodness...and a New Embroidery Machine!

Two exciting arrivals this week:

And....


More 100% Wool Felt from Weir Crafts.  I am also now in possession of a letter from Weir Crafts stating that their wool felt is certified and tested to be free of lead and pthalates.  Natural fibers are exempt from the CPSIA regulations (See part D7 of this linked document), but I want my customers to know that safety comes first.  Anyone who orders my wool felt products is entitled to a copy of this letter upon request.

And as for that lovely monster in the first pic, it's a Brother PE-770 Embroidery Machine.  Previously, I had done all my embroidery on a Brother SE-350, but with this new machine, now I have a wider embroidery area (7"x5" as opposed to 4"x4").  The first thing I made with it was an embroidered band for my new chef hat design.  My husband requested a hat and loves his.  However, he refuses to let me take a picture of him wearing it, so now I will have to resort to blowing up more balloons.  Sigh....  It looks terrific though!!

New Personalized Chef Hat...And Balloons!!

Have I mentioned my haterade for patterns?  They make no sense to me.  99% of my non three-dimensional sewing is stuff I've had to design for myself.  I can look at anything and recreate it with my tiny brain, but ask me to follow a pattern and you might as well ask me to recite War and Peace.  It just ain't happening.

But I decided to give a pattern a shot.  I've been wanting to make a chef hat to go with my aprons.  I'm cheap so I googled "free chef hat patterns" and found a pattern that looked simple enough.

Now, the problem with downloading patterns online is that the creators--if they include actual pattern pieces instead of measurements--have to make those pieces fit on an 8.5"x11" sheet of paper.  What if your pattern piece requires you to have a larger piece than that?  They break the pieces up and expect you to sew them together.  Which means you have, a) extra ugly seams, and b) a weaker piece because the more seams, the less durable the piece.  And when you're sewing for kids, this matters.

But I'm a good sport, so I gave it my best shot.  I cut out all the pieces.  The pieces, even after pieced together, didn't seem to match the pattern instructions.  After looking at it for a few minutes, I sort of scrunched my face up, scratched my head, and said to myself, "I can do better than THIS shit!"  And tossed the whole thing in the garbage.  The pattern also called for Velcro strips because your kid's head can sprout a few inches overnight so you need some slack there.  And Velcro strips do not belong in anyone's hair.  This pattern was marketed towards beginners too...I can see how it would turn off a novice sewer because it sucked.  I'm not going to link it, but it's easy to find.  It also assumed you didn't have sophisticated equipment, which is fine, I'm not an equipment snob.  BUT, I have a gathering foot, which made their instructions of "baste and yank" irrelevant and time wasting.

So I made one better.  I don't have one of those fake heads to model hats or wigs, so meet my Balloon Child, Smiley:


This hat has (dingding!) elastic inside the band that goes around the head.  No Velcro, and it won't fall off your kids head when he or she bends over.  WHAT A CONCEPT!!   I used what stuff I had on hand that wouldn't roll, which unfortunately was black and too narrow, but you get the concept.  Please excuse the purple pattern marks, that's just disappearing ink. 

I did not embroider anything on the band prior to putting it together, but shortly I'll make another prototype with embroidery on it.

So pretend Smiley is your kid, and pretend your kid's name is embroidered on the band.  Wouldn't that look cute?  You must get one!

Look for this at my store soon.  Sorry, Smiley is not included.  I'm busy in the corner with him, in the fetal position and rocking because I'm excited/overwhelmed that my new embroidery machine will be arriving today...more on that later!

Have I Mentioned That Custom Work Is Fun? And Testimonials!!

More big fluffy bows!!


At about 4" wide, kids or adults can rock this look.  And so can you!  $5 makes me holla.  $4.50 with your FRIENDS promo code.  Shoot me a message! 

I also got a comment today from one of my clients that made my day and I have to share:
I totally pimped you out at Cheesecake Factory yesterday. Our waitress loved the bow, and then she saw the "[...]" and double-loved it!
Now that's what I like to hear!!   This too made my day!

I had HUGE praise tonight from tons of people who want to know where I got my bows and when/how they can get their own. I am torn between wanting to promote The Awesome and wanting to be unique ;) I will be passing your website around. If you wanted to send me business cards, they would be passed out. It is kind of silly actually. I told a whole bunch of people about the bows WHEN I WAS ORDERING THEM and there was not really too much interest. Then suddenly I wear them out and I get mobbed.  They should have been on the ball when I was getting them in the first place!
 YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I LOVE MY CLIENTS!!!!!!!!!!!

Rhinestones - They Are Not My Friend

Rhinestones.  I can't help but think of the Bedazzler from the 80s.  Which conjures up images like this:


This guy looks less Funky and more Ugly.

I got a request to make a hairbow made from tulle and with little stick-on rhinestones.  This is a great idea and super cute.  However, the execution of this idea was a total disaster.

Making the bow was easy enough, but to maintain a pinwheel shape, the center of the bow had to be creased so that the narrow part of the crease would be touching the clip.  Which will make it much easier for a kid to rip it off the clip.  And to avoid any raw edges, I have a stupid seam running right across the bow.

Originally, I was going to make the bow layered atop a grosgrain ribbon bow, but when I put it together, the tulle looked better on its own.

Next came the "adhesive" rhinestones.  I use scare quotes because the only thing these stones stuck to was their own packaging.


Starts off okay, right?  Except the stones would fly off as soon as I picked up the bow.  They weren't sticking to anything.

Since I had my hot glue gun handy, and the bow was already trashed, I thought I'd give some hot glue a shot.


Nice glue blobs, eh?

The final result:


I'll reattempt this when I'm a lot less cranky.

Loopy Knot Bows - Two Colors and CUTE!

I love doing custom work.  Check these out!


These are similar to my Monogrammed Loopy Knot Bows, but without the monogramming.  If you see something you like at my store but not quite the right color, contact me!  I'm happy to put together whatever you want.  I haven't updated my ribbon color charts lately (bad Puckle) but I think I now have every single solid color of 7/8" grosgrain ribbon that Offray manufactures!

Because these are solid colored and do not have monogramming (prints and monograms are cost drivers) these can be had for only $5 each, and don't forget your 10% FRIENDS promo code!  That's only $4.50.  That's a hell of a deal for customized work, dude!

New Apron Design For Sale!

I have redesigned my childrens aprons!  And you can still personalize them!



All aprons are made from 100% cotton red twill, and trimmed with cotton/poly bias trim.  You can choose your trim color from blue, light blue, pink, red, white, yellow, or green.  If you don't like the circus spots ribbon, I have other choices too.  I applique a chef's hat and embroider your child's name next to that.  Cute, eh? 



Want yours?  Shoot me a message, or check out my shop!
