Zephaniah W Nash Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 We got a used sewing maching (rescued from one of my parent's closets) and my wife has been teaching herself to sew. And as a friend just had a child, we thought we should give a gift that just couldn't be mistaken for anyone else's. They're not quite the pyratical-types that we are, but they're not that far off (more Ren-faire bums). Maybe not the best quality out there, but we're still learning...
Kathyrn Ramsey Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Those are just so cute.... And your wife did a fine job on them I am sure the receiver is going to love them.
Black Syren Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 awwww...I dont have a baby and I want one...lol Thos are truly inspired! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
Atala Syrcuse Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 It's quite inspiring! I have a few quilt patterns (been sewing fer oh......25 years), but never thought o adding the "no quater given" ta any o me quilts. Hav ta try that! Drink Up Me Harties Yo Ho!
Rats Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 That is a really sharp idea! :) My missus and I have 2 yr old triplets and I'm sure the boys would love some good blankets like that!! I might have to get to work with those! Rats No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!
Rumba Rue Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I know all kinds of pirate people who make pirate baby blankets. Some are just really great.

Zephaniah W Nash Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 Thanks to all for the compliments. Her next project was going to be some clothing (plus, once she learns what she's doing, she's to teach me). Once we can work through the ever-popular Jack Sparrow costume pattern that is on the market, we'll feel better about investing in some real patterns, like Kass'.
Hester Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Hi, Cap'n Zed: Those blankets are charming! investing in some real patterns, like Kass'. I suspect you'll find that Kass's patterns will make your machine superfluous, though. Cheers, Hester ... who swears a lot when she sews, and now remembers she's got some mending to do, using her mother-in-law's temperamental hand-me-down European sewing machine
Merrydeath Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I LOVE those blankets!! I might have to spring for something like that. Lady Barbossa found some onesies with skulls on them, and someting about Pirate Diaparrrr.

Rumba Rue Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 **My apologies to you Mr. Nash, I had not realized that the blankets were made by wife. Just shoot me now.....
Zephaniah W Nash Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 No worries, Rumba. We realize we're not quite up to them fancy blankets made by them what know what they're doing. Drab or not, we still loves ya...
Patrick Hand Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 who swears a lot when she sews Not "she" but "he".......... But dosen't everyone swear when they sew............ THAT SUM A B*&^%.... it says right on th' maching that it's a sewing machine...... NOT A WEED WACKER....... SO why does it keep rattailing th' *&&%&&^% thread when I sew...... I'm going ter be takin me axe ter it... then sell alla th scrap metal ter the Japineese so they can make auto parts........ Dang.... you'd think the Swiss could make a better maching...... Add in a lot more profanity.... and that is my daily conversations with the sewing machines...... (I make animal mascots for a living... so I sew daily....)(and curse at the *&%%%$*** machines all th' time......)
Atala Syrcuse Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Like when I was making me first pirate coat with 4 layers of heavy fabric where the lapels got and I nearly knocked me machine over and used language ta make a pirate blush? Drink Up Me Harties Yo Ho!
Rumba Rue Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 No the real cussing is when you are almost done sewing and your bobbin runs out of thread two inches from where you have to end it....
Rogue Mermaid Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I hate that!! I know exactly what you are talking about
Ol Man From the Sea Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 No the real cussing is when.... your bobbin runs out of thread two inches from where you have to end it. No real cussing is when you finisish perfectly sewing a long tricky seam and your bobbin runs out two inches from where you began it. Hate it when that happens
Patrick Hand Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Bobbins running out...... piece of cake..... It's when the timeing on the machine goes out ...Shattering your next to last needle on a project that HAS to go out today..... SO you spend half and hour getting it to sew again....... (Note.... I can fix the timeing on a sewing machine.... most people have to send it to the shop.....)
