Happy New Year!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Safe and Happy New Year! It's snowing like crazy in my neck of the woods. Tonight my family and some close relatives got a couple of rooms at a relatively close hotel. So the kids get to play in the pool or one of the rooms and the adults get a little time to unwind. 

I had great fun this year making all the Burley Sew videos and sharing with everyone. I look forward to what 2014 will bring. I really never though so many people would be interested. I am working hard to grow my skills and knowledge so I can do better. Thank you for all your kind words and for helping me grow in many ways. Happy 2014 all!!

S0- Do you need a last minute, super easy gift idea? Well today I have an awesome one that you can do in less than 15 minutes provided you have the materials. If you don't you can pick them up for a few dollars.

Using a free Christmas tree design I found (link is below), a 3" embroidery hoop and some ribbon, I made this very likable ornament. I hope you enjoy it too!

How to make a Dr. Who Tardis (Police Call Box) Christmas Ornament Using Sewart

Today I am making a Dr. Who Tardis (Police Call Box) Christmas Ornament for my son. I have made a vector image of the call box and then used a trial version of SewArt to digitize the image into a .PES file. This is the first time I have used SewArt and I think it did a good job. Once I have the embroidery file I will stitch it out and use fusible interface to create the ornament.

Free embroidery Designs just in time for the Holidays!

I was poking around the Brother Sewing site and I came across an area that had fee embroidery designs. All you have to do is enter your name and email as registration. There are many different designs to choose from. I would say there are well over a hundred designs that you can download as a .PES file. The color codes are supplied along with the stitch count and size. Be sure to check the size to make sure you have the right size hoop!

If you need the design converted to different file format or need to know how to import it to your machine you can visit my YouTube Channel Burley Sew. I have lots of free videos on machine embroidery. I will try to bring you more free stuff as I find it on the web in the future so keep checking back.
