Met Monday...My Embroidery Machine

A few years ago, I bought what has turned out to be one of my most used and favorite sewing tools...my Janome 300E embroidery machine. I can find something that is very inexpensive, and once I embroider a name, or whatever, on it...it becomes a great gift for someone. I found these very cute aprons at Target around Valentine's Day. They are going to be worn by my granddaughters when we make our gingerbread houses for Christmas. They have muffin-shaped chef's' hats with cherries on top..very cute! I also make a lot of Santa hats each year. Scroll down to see the quick transformations!

  9. Well isn't that a helpful little tool! I use to embroider by hand, and thoroughly enjoyed it, but I have arthritis from various hand and thumb surgeries, which makes it hard. These are very cute and the children will love it!

  10. Those aprons look awesome! They look like you paid a professional to embroider. I might have to invest in one of those!!

  12. Ok, you made me do it. You went and made me gasp out loud as I scrolled down your post and saw the first apron.
    I love it!!!
    Love those cute little cupcakes!
    I also do hand embroidery and made a cupcake tea towell for my oven door last winter.
    It sparked a whole obsession with making cupcakes. Now you got me going again. I want a cupcake! :D
