1. How to pick out a hoopWhen you buy a hoop you’re going to want to make sure there are no gaps in the space between the inner and outer hoop (i.e. the hoop on the left). When there is a gap, your fabric will slip and slide all over the place and will be a pain in general to work with. When you have to buy hoops online (as most of us do right now) try and order a few at a time. When I order in batches I usually have one or two hoops that I can’t use (and I’ll return) but most are going to work

Just bringing home my outfit & tutorial originally posted for Sew in Tune. Hope everyone's having a great weekend! Hi Everyone! I'm Heidi from Elegance & Elephants thrilled to be here for Sew in Tune! I love music...in fact, I was a choir and band schoolteacher for years prior to being a crafty stay-at-home mom, so being inspired by music is something that comes naturally to me. This project however, steered me in a different direction than my typical musical genres, since it all started with some Robert Kaufman fabric my son begged me to get him: Robot Factory. And what song instantly popped into my head? Well, none other than, Mr. Roboto by the Styx. Having grown up in the 80s with an older brother, I was exposed his taste in music, and this song was one that was often played on the ghetto blaster. If you're curious what it sounds like, check out the video. Be prepared for 80s hair, style, and video quality. It's quite something to behold, but the tune is catchy!! Now, about the outfit...well, since I didn't want to make pjs again, I decided to subtly incorporate Robot Factory throughout the ensemble. The shirt features a contrasting button placket and a little robot friend poking out of the pocket. Orange thread was used for all the hems and topstitching, along with navy blue jersey for the pocket and elbow patches, upcycled from a shirt that's been outgrown. Tobias requested that the pants NOT have a zip fly, so, I made an elastic waistband, using the inspiration fabric on the inside. It was also used for the inside lining of the front pockets. His newest little plushie friend, Mr. Roboto, was created for this outfit as well and now sleeps comfortably with all the elephants on Tobias' bed. The free downloadable pdf pattern & template with tutorial for the Mr. Roboto plushie is available at E & E. I modified these two patterns for the shirt and pants: Play Date V-Neck Tee and Clean Slate Pants. And just in case you're wondering how to make a contrasting placket, here's the tutorial... '[] } That's it! And remember, if you're sewing this for a girl, reverse it, so the contrasting fabric is on the opposite side. Thank you so much for having me here today!
