    So many things I want to make. Don’t know if I will be able to do any of the weeks. I’m starting my t-shirt quilt pretty soon.

    Wow. How timely. My sweet husband just upgraded my sewing room on December 30 with the Baby Lock Destiny II and the Baby Lock Evolution serger. This series will be a great way for me to get used to my new machines.

    I just can’t resist this question! Although I love this tote, the embroidery, this fabulous machine, & will follow all 12 challenges, I can’t keep from staring at the sweet & pretty twin set Nancy is wearing in the photo!! I just love it & want to make it!! Where can I get the pattern??

    It it January 2nd and I cannot find the challenge video. The only thing I can find is the Nancy Zieman ad for the challenge. I also do not see a schedule of the other shows. Please add a link for this because this is very frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!

    If we don’t have the templates to make the purse, will we still be able to do the project? Thanks so much!

    Cannot find link for the Jan. 2, 2017 video for LOVE OF SEWING CHALLENGE!!!!!! Also why didn’t you tell us about this 12 week video and the temp plate we needing to buy weeks before I received my first email, which was Jan 1. I can’t get the Hobo Tote temp plate now. So sad because I would have liked to participate.
    But link still doesn’t work, I can’t even watch.

    Nancy, the picture of you is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Your ensemble, hair, make-up and calm demeanor add up to being the best one I’ve seen. I’m 73 yrs and have been watching you for a long time. May 2017 be another great year for you.

    I tried ordering template and it said it wont be ready until January 17. it will be too late to follow.
    Are there other items that need to be purchased and if so can we do it before the videos are due?

    Nancy, I love your program and always learn something new. I’m fairly new to machine embroidery and have an entry level non-Baby Lock machine. However, I feel like those of us who do not have a more expensive complicated machine have been left by the way-side. Can these projects be done on a simpler machine? I do have embroidery software so I can do editing of designs, but not on my machine. Please don’t forget that some of us want to keep up with your projects but just don’t have the same resources.
    I have been a fan of yours for YEARS and love your show!!

    I keep trying to order the template and book, however; the site is stating that it is not available. I would really like to do this challenge with you. Do you know when the product will be ready?

  • Shirley Robbins

    I’ve got my fabrics and ordered the template. I’m curious about the Shape and Create required. The fabric store had never heard of it, nor did it turn up in a Google search. I find pellon shape-flex. Is it the same thing?

    Also, will the project videos be available after the 12 weeks? I don’t expect the templates in time to follow along real time, tho I will be watching.

    Very excited to sew along with the SEWlebrities..I love the look of this bag. My template has been ordered so I’m just ordering my fabric. Can you clarify, it looks like faux suede was used for the blue and green. Was the same fabric used for the trim and handles? The video only shows the 3 fabrics but the supply list has me confused and wondering if another fabric was used on the handles. Thank you.

    I went to the website to order the hobo bag and it is not available to ship until Jan 20, 2017. I just got my Destiny II yesterday and wanted to see if I could catch up and sew with you. I won’t be doing this one right now. Are the videos going to stay up for a month or two?

  • Pat Kimball

    It is January 8th, checked yesterday and today for the video for the 7th, can’t find it.

    How can I purchase the flower that is used for the embroidery?

  • Cissie Rice

    how do I see the next part? Where you make the bag. Am I too late to see it?

  • Wendy

    Love the tote! Where can I find the downloadable embroidery design you stitched inside the tote? I’ve looked at BabyLock.com/LoveOfSewingChallenge and can’t seem to find it. Thanks!

    Nancy
    Can you please email me the link to the instructions and videos in entirety for the Hobo bag. I got all the supplies and cant seem to find the instructions. Or is there someone I can call to walk me thru the website.
    Thanks for your response!
