A lovely machine indeed. Project runway is so inspiring. My current make is a blouse
pattern from Sew Different. It’s a loose fitting, boxy raglan top, from a light weight
cotton. I’m just completing it using the L890 serger to finish the seams and the 780e to
sew the seams. A simple top with basic techniques, facing on the neckline and bias
binding on the sleeves and hem. -
Wow, that looks like a great machine. Bernina/Bernette fans have been excited to this machine see developed and released.

Love to win! Thanks for the chance.

I made a gorgeous cape from the inspiration magazine that I’m looking forward to wearing this fall!
-
My most recent garment project was a pair of leggings. I slipped the pattern from a pair I’ve worn for years. I assembled them using my l890 with a 4 thread overlock stitch and then used a 3 thread coverstitch over each seam to keep them laying flat. I also hemmed the legs with a 3 thread coverstitch

My family wanted to attend an Oktober Fest in Idaho on our family bike trip. I decided to make dirndls for each of the women and Lederhosen embellishments for the guys. I sewed using the embroidery module on my Bernina 880 to add to each of the bodices, skirt edges and aprons. We had such a great time!

I recently made each of my grandchildren a robe out of their favorite teams fleece. It was a fairly simple pattern but I did have to embroider their names on the front so they could tell whoose was whose. I woulkd like to get my 7 year old grandaughter into sewing and the Bernette 08 would be a great place to start. We also love project Runway.

I just finished a Sorbetto Top (free pattern by Seamworks) in a Rayon Batik. It is SO HOT outside!! My next up is a pair of work pants. This machine would be great for this! And for making bags!!
-
My most recent project was a summer top made with Liberty fabrics. I would absolutely love to win this celebrity machine!
-
My latest make was a skirt and top, followed by finishing up older projects. Converted a pair of jeans with embroidered pockets into custom pot holders, all on an old SE400 brother machine.

Recent garment I sewed was a cute top, made out of linen, for summer.

My most recent project was a simple skirt and top. I’m sewing on an old brother le400, so could really use and appreciate this sweet b08!

My latest make was a butterfly-inspired garment featuring a mix of sequins, silk, and metallic fabrics. Working with such different textures was a fun challenge and let me experiment with combining delicate and structured materials. I stitched it on my Brother Project Runway sewing machine, which handled the variety of fabrics beautifully. I’m really happy with how the finished piece captures light and movement 🫶

I recently made an Emma dress by Silversaga Patterns out of a floral cotton lawn. I love to dress it up or down, and I feel like the elastic channels in the pattern really make such a great end result. I do not have a Bernina or Bernette, but maybe someday!
-
I made a swing-style v neck tank top with cotton & steel rayon. I used decorative stitches to create an overlock effect to prevent fraying. I used standard stitching to create and attach lining, and double needles to attach layers and finish the seams.
For garments or delicate fabrics, I use my Bernette B38. For quilts, I have used a Juki TL for years, but it tends to snag and isn’t nearly delicate enough for rayons. I need the B08!

I have recently made a long dress called the Freddie that I made out of Kaffe quilting cotton that is now my favorite!
-
I recently made some curtains using a Singer3330 with some added fringe trim! I used a few types of blue fabric as I had a specific area here at home that I wanted these for.

Love the unisex line so much. everyone can wear these!

My most recent garment make was a large handbag that I made last week. I didn’t sew it since I don’t own a sewing machine but I crocheted it. I used three different colors of yarn – blue, cream and purple – in alternating rows. The yarn was a worsted weighted Loops & Threads yarn that I got at Michaels. I used a 5 mm hook. The bottom of the bag consisted of 20 rows of single crochets in a single color (blue). The body uses all 3 colors and is 40 total rows. Each row has 3 double crochets followed by 3 single crochets. This created a checkerboard pattern. The handle is a single color and was made with 5 rows of single crochets on each side of the bag to make a space on the front and back of the bag and then 8 rows of single crochets along the entire bag to close up the top of the handle. The top and the inside of the handles were finished with a slip stitch. I hope that makes sense (I’m sure I probably got some of that wrong). I got the pattern for free from TL Yarn Crafts. I love how the bag turned out and will be using it to store my WIPs. While I love crocheting, I hope to win this sewing machine so I can learn to sew.

My latest make was a baby quilt for my sister-in-law’s third baby girl, sewn on my Bernina Record 730!
My SIL chose to go with dark green and pink colors for the baby’s crib, so I mainly used dark green in varying shades and light pink together. Came together wonderfully! -
I made a summer pair of shorts and shirt using my bernette b05 Academy using hi-viz yellow for the shorts and khaki twill. Both are comfortable to beat the heat during this heat wave. Nothing special about techniques; lots of seams and edge stitching. 🙂
-
My most recent garment and the only one I’ve made in years was a corset for my daughter to go with her Ren Faire costume. My Bernina 790 sewed like a dream and my 10D foot came in handy for sewing the binding on the edges.
-
My most recent fashion project was a summer dress. It is easy to throw on and wear out to dinner. I love it.

I’ve been working on the “ultimate travel tote bag” this last week. I had a nicely sized tote bag in my travel stuff, but it wasn’t optimized for travel. I used my 34D foot on my B990 and stitched two 2″ wide pieces of handle webbing together to make them more substantial. I unpicked the stitches holding the handles down on the back and slipped the webbing under them and stitched them back down. This made a nice strap to put over the handle of my suitcase.
I added two snaps to the top to keep it closed while under the seat in front of me.
Yesterday I made a couple of organizers to go inside the bag to keep everything sorted. Neither organizer was quite right so today I’m going to tweak the patterns of both of them to make the perfect size with the perfect pockets!
