"Yay for Miss Pfaff!!"
During Abbie's naptime today I decided to be brave and try out Miss Bernina & Miss Pfaff for size now that my head is feeling a bit clearer.
Seriously - I think I'm in love!
The 3 machines worked very well in harmony together, meaning that I can now work even more quickly and effectively. Not that this was the initial plan - but I would definitely say it's a very huge benefit!
So Miss Bernina gets to overlock...
Big Brother gets to top stitch & hem stitch...
And Miss Pfaff gets to shirr to her little hearts content....
And in no time at all (well considering that I had to make up the pattern as I went along and all) I had made 2 pretty cute dresses:
The dress I'd promised Hannah:
Her choice of fabric again funnily enough!
And a cute dress/onesie for a friend's baby:
I could NOT believe how easy Miss Pfaff made shirring!! It was successful on the first try- hip hooray, hip hooray!! I did loosen the screws in the bobbin though before I started this time (on the advice of the man at the sewing shop) - so Big Brother would possibly like shirring a bit more if I did that too - but I'm not willing to try now that I have another solution...
So lets just say I'm a very happy bunny! I can see me getting a LOT of use out of my two new babies...

Yay for both the Misses and their Big Brother all working well together! The dress and onesie both look fab. :o)
Your daughter has good taste in fabric and you've made a cute little pattern. Well done on sorting out the three machines, Kat.
Great to hear that your new toys are behaving for you! Well done, the dresses look great!
I think I would love a few shirred dresses, reckon I can come over one night for a pj party?
Love Hannah's dress..her fabric selection is spot on!
As for Miss Molly's onesie/skirt...fabulous :)
Yay for sensational shirring! I'm hoping to discover the dark art on my Big Brother that has an alternative bobbin feed which apparently will do shirring...
oh my goodness that is the cutest dress I've seen ever. so glad you're getting along with all of your new friends :)
Wow, so cute! I cannot wait to make little girl clothes someday soon. Yours are darling!
Hooray! Both dresses are C*U*T*E!
I've heard of some people who get a second bobbin case - one to keep "normal" & one that they adjust for other projects. Those people probably have organized stashes too.
I can imagine you surrounded by machinery - each purring away on a different job - fabric in at one end completed garment at the other!
I LOVE that dress! I think from now on whatever you make Hannah you should make me for Audrey lol
