I love it all: sewing; garment construction, fitting, wearable art, embroidery and embroidery software! Please feel free to contact me for rates or information regarding my services. Or just stop by and chat for a while.She Sews Finehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14569560530075961099noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073478880917682552.post-11572106595086965322009-06-12T10:26:00.000-07:002009-06-16T10:04:19.780-07:00Hello,<br /><br />It is time to add to the blog. First, my thanks to Michelle Armas for getting this blog set up and going. She is a wonderful artist. Check out her work at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">http://www.etsy.com/</a>.<br /><br />This summer I am traveling a bit, in between helping/visiting family and showing my new wirehaired dachshund at dog shows. His name is Chuck and he already has 8 of the required 15 points needed for his championship status.<br /><br />My machine goes with me on my travels. I've done embroidery for some dog owners and am working on clothing and designs for my Professional Santa and my budding clothing designer's line of clothing. I rely heavily on my experience and fitting skills learned with Pati Palmer at her Palmer/Pletsch school in Portland, OR for both of these clients. My world is never boring and always interesting &amp; exciting.<br /><br />See the photos of the custom sewing/embroidery/digitizing for "Santa" below. Also, pictures of my daughter-in-law's Champion Bull Mastiff, Clifford, digitized.<br /><br />Have a great summer!<br />Coming soon my Fall 2009 class schedule!<br />Let me hear from you.<br /><br />Diane<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKca_za0OI/AAAAAAAAAGg/XM2yNoWrtOg/s1600-h/poet+shirt-custom+embroidery-digitizing.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346507695259832546" style="WIDTH: 144px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 100px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKca_za0OI/AAAAAAAAAGg/XM2yNoWrtOg/s200/poet+shirt-custom+embroidery-digitizing.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKcuk-OLSI/AAAAAAAAAGw/xrTn3hSNbjw/s1600-h/Santa+coveralls.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346508031654767906" style="WIDTH: 87px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 126px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKcuk-OLSI/AAAAAAAAAGw/xrTn3hSNbjw/s200/Santa+coveralls.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKc8G_YauI/AAAAAAAAAG4/B7Om3j1zgFo/s1600-h/Santa+Coveralls+with+custom+embroideryButtons.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346508264124738274" style="WIDTH: 145px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 101px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKc8G_YauI/AAAAAAAAAG4/B7Om3j1zgFo/s200/Santa+Coveralls+with+custom+embroideryButtons.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKdYUFmW2I/AAAAAAAAAHA/kCiAOoL_2iI/s1600-h/CIMG2781.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346508748676815714" style="WIDTH: 82px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 108px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKdYUFmW2I/AAAAAAAAAHA/kCiAOoL_2iI/s200/CIMG2781.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKckcBIEEI/AAAAAAAAAGo/bMu4yL5tcF4/s1600-h/Poet+Shirt+Back.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346507857452339266" style="WIDTH: 155px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 105px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKckcBIEEI/AAAAAAAAAGo/bMu4yL5tcF4/s200/Poet+Shirt+Back.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKd4LLflbI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/7bU1WPnQ5-c/s1600-h/CIMG2842.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346509296041432498" style="WIDTH: 138px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 105px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKd4LLflbI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/7bU1WPnQ5-c/s200/CIMG2842.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKdxpElugI/AAAAAAAAAHI/pOE6Qbe-fOg/s1600-h/CIMG2785.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346509183806454274" style="WIDTH: 147px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 105px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKdxpElugI/AAAAAAAAAHI/pOE6Qbe-fOg/s200/CIMG2785.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKgiEWfakI/AAAAAAAAAHY/GSoIQ_fCwFk/s1600-h/Clif+%26+bag.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346512214786271810" style="WIDTH: 160px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 103px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKgiEWfakI/AAAAAAAAAHY/GSoIQ_fCwFk/s200/Clif+%26+bag.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKg62fXp0I/AAAAAAAAAHo/QneTRK9JGig/s1600-h/Clif+Embroidery+2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346512640562145090" style="WIDTH: 125px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 85px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKg62fXp0I/AAAAAAAAAHo/QneTRK9JGig/s200/Clif+Embroidery+2.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SjKhWR9KO4I/AAAAAAAAAH4/3v5W1gqVZN0/s1600-h/Cliff+and+bag+1.JPG"></a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9073478880917682552-1157210659508696532?l=shesewsfine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>She Sews Finehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14569560530075961099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073478880917682552.post-71209359255495722402009-04-13T18:37:00.001-07:002009-04-13T18:38:28.330-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SePpDmg1cFI/AAAAAAAAAFo/_0xS-4M_n_A/s1600-h/Digitizing_examples.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cqvwpsmLF6w/SePpDmg1cFI/AAAAAAAAAFo/_0xS-4M_n_A/s400/Digitizing_examples.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324355432569204818" border="0" /></a><br />Here is a sample of some work I have completed this year for various clients, and personal projects.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9073478880917682552-7120935925549572240?l=shesewsfine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>She Sews Finehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14569560530075961099noreply@blogger.com0
