If the inside of your machine looks like this, you should probably clean it more often.
Pre-winding extra bobbins makes this notice less annoying.
Headed home. Thadd didn’t get Bumblebee and his car doesn’t transform. Now his meal is a sad meal.
Apparently throwing himself on the floor is a thing now.
Gotta catch ’em all.
Two out of three about to fall asleep in grandma’s van-car.

Old-school metal playground equipment ftw!
Friends.
Thadd is asleep! I am is happy.
Breakfast with family.
Nap time.
Chaos follows us everywhere.
I’m a good boy, right?
Early morning=terrible lighting.

I love the shape of this building.
Pretty, but terrifying, especially with children.
No, we didn’t walk down the scary steps.
Awkward selfie.
Finnian played cameraman for this shot.
Walking to Sons of Liberty Coffee.
I love the little stumps or roots or whatever they are poking up at the base.

Hooped Stabilizer
Backing fleece. Needs to be at least as big as your machine’s stitching area, if not as big as the hoop.
Fabric pinned to stabilizer

T-shirt. I’m not sure where I got this one.
I like to fold it in half before cutting to keep everything even. If your scissors aren’t sharp enough to go through all the layers, cut one side and then fold it in half to use as a template for the other side.
Bottom hem removed.
Looks like a tank top. For a grocery style bag, turn it inside out and lay it back
flat in this position.
For a purse/market tote turn it inside out and lay it flat with the shoulder seams at the top, as shown here. I find this style easier to carry on my shoulder.
Pinned hem.
Normal stitches are in red. Stretch stitches are in brown.
Straight stitch.
Edge of fabric lined up on 5/8 mark.
Back stitched first seam
Second line stitched for reinforcement.I tried to stay as close to the first line as possible.
Zig-zag setting.
Messy zig-zag backstitching.
Side seam removed and jeans ironed flat.
Back of rip with interfacing applied.
First attempt. Once I put it in my machine and had it circle the embroidery field, I saw it needed re-positioning.
Finished sewing.
Patch from the back with stabilizer trimmed.
Finished patch. Next time I will use heavier thread so the embroidery shows better.

We’re still in the hospital and he’s already looking at Finn and Daddy like he knows there’s awesomeness ahead.
One of these is the peek-a-boo kitty. They look just like Daddy cat.
Finished, other than steaming the ruffle.
I’m still not sure about this. I may remove it after wearing it a few times.
Here’s the original shapeless dress.

My boys kite flying on Labor Day weekend. We found that kite at Thrift Town for five bucks. Best. kite. EVER. Even though the wind was unsteady, once Chris got it in the air, it would fly for five minutes at a time. Finn was even able to keep it in the air fairly easily.
