So, I am new to blogging. How does anyone find me here? Do I patiently wait to see if anyone stumbles across this blog and starts to follow me?
I appliqued a most adorable Santa T shirt for one of my grandsons last night. I used an applique which I had purchased at Planetapplique.com and put it on an inexpensive Target long sleeved T. Came out really cute. The picture just popped into the wrong place on the page, but at least you can see it. I had done the same thing the night before on a red T for my grand nephew and when I went to rinse off the placement lines the red T dye bled all into Santa's white beard. So sad. Had to place that shirt in the trash can :( Valuable lesson learned about red dye on inexpensive T-shirts.
Here's my mistake T :(
I have gone to my local fabric shop and purchased "fat squares" for quilters to use as the fabric I insert into the appliques. I have started doing applique work about 2 months ago and LOVE it! I started doing machine embroidery last January after I received a sewing machine for Christmas. Love the embroidery too. Guess there is some truth in the old adage that you can teach an old girl some new tricks :)
Jayme, when you write your blog, at the bottom (before you save it) there are options to put TAGS. In it you can write what that post was about. If you write about shirts, you can tag the word SHIRT. That way when someone makes a google search, your page will show up. That's a way to get your blog some attention. Also google likes things in BOLD letters.
