Sewing and Crafting for the Webkinz

I get a lot of hits for people searching for “sew” and “webkinz” in the same string. Hopefully, this following post, brought to you by the Glitter Glue Princess, will help those out who are searching for such a thing.

The kidlet thought her girl webkinz could use a cute dress to make them look more girly. On one of her many snow days, I came home from work one day to find that she had created this -

It is basically a tube, size to the body of the webkinz, with holes for the arms and a carwash skirt to accompany the rump. After I gave her accolades for her ingenuity, she made another, but added a tie at the neck to cinch it up a bit.

The boys then all got scarves so they weren’t nekkid either.

On one other occasion, she made a lovely bracelet for one of them:

It is about 2 dozen safety pins adorned with beads and strung on elastic thread.

You too can come up with easy ways to dress your webkinz.

It’s here! It’s here!…. My Innovis 4000D is here!

But….

It isn’t exactly what was listed in the ebay posting… You see, I was expecting something a bit different in color….

You see, it was white in the listing…. I don’t know if I’m complaining, but this thing looks a bit, um, “pimped out” with all the gold trim. The guy had obviously not taken it out of the box to look at it…

I got it set up and it does sew out nicely, but runs TOTALLY different than my old machine (this thing will thread your needle if you ask it nicely) .

Here is it’s very first stitchout

(The bubbling is from the fact I didn’t put stabilizer under the design!)

The auction was supposed to include a big case of thread, which hasn’t arrived, so I’m not going to approve the item through escrow yet. Just sent an email to the guy, commenting on the color - we shall see what he says about that!
