Pretty Princess is ready!Thank you for being so patient while we were creating the project. Firstly I have to thank my Pretty Princess team for the past 7 months for their continuous testing and all their advice. Thank you Mari van Schalkwyk, Annatjie Norris and Martha Weingard for all your hard work, re-testing and proofreading the instructions. Then, last but not least, Lisa Brümmer for keeping the website updated, all the printable patterns and to load the files. It really took a lot of time and effort to re-do the entire project. This time around everything is included, from the smallest motif for each page as well as all the wording. We have included test motifs for tassels and lettering for all the story pages with lovely spacers and flowery borders, all in different sizes. To start PES, HUS, ARTv4 and DST will be available. As this is a huge project your purchase for your format will be made in 3-4 downloads. You will receive the following .Zip files:

2014 Update: 21/05/2014Finally all the embroidery is complete and the Pretty Princess is assembled. We’re still busy with the tutorial and already have 142 pages and we are still adding pictures. So, this version will have it all; designs from the smallest, single elements to designs for the largest hoops, text, patterns, diagrams, printing advice and much more. Pretty Princess will be available by the end of July!

This great concept started when I introduced the denim fairytale to ‘Designs in Machine Embroidery’ magazine in 2005 which was published over 1 year in 6 volumes, issues 31-36. This was a huge success and after publication DZGNS changed the very popular project into one of their special project kits which could only be ordered directly from them. This very sought after project belonged to the magazine for the next 5 years. Now it is back in my hands and since those earlier years where most of us could only embroider using 4x4” hoops we were limited with hooping some sections of the project. Now in 2012/13 with all the bigger hoops available we will once again create a very special, one of a kind project. When we started this project many years ago, the instructions were fully published in the magazine, limited to a certain word count per article. We had lots of pictures and the full A3 patterns were included as pull out patterns. The designs could be downloaded from DIME’S website. This was available for a year after publication. The designs included were mostly, highly detailed appliqués with layers of fabric for the dresses, suits for the prince, curtains, pumpkins and other pretty loose elements as a ‘touch and play book’ for little girls 5 years and older. Only the flowery word spacer designs were supplied for the story page on the right side. No embroidery wording motifs were ever included in the set or on the original CD as this was explained that the embroiderer must create this page using their software or machine to stitch their own story on this page. Only a short, edited written storyline with keywords was supplied to assist in creating the story page. Unfortunately I wasn’t involved with the Pretty Princess Kit which was sold for a few years as this was DZGNS’s property and they did a wonderful job of it. They were all sold out and still people want to do this project. Since 2010, I had many request for an update, revised and even a follow up project of Pretty Princess. Over the first year of publication we had some problems such as missing parts but these were uploaded later and available for quite some time. Some ladies had difficulty in creating and completing the story pages on their own, others lost some of the patterns or designs and then there were the stars who created the most beautiful Pretty Princess books, some 1, 2, 3 and a very special lady whom made 13 Pretty Princess masterpieces and all as gifts! Over the years I supplied lost designs, instructions, helped with queries and made wonderful ’Pretty Princess friends’. My aim: For the revised Pretty Princess we’ll start a special Pretty Princess Page on my website first. This will keep you informed with the progress and the releasing date of the project later during 2013. This time around all the wording/storyline will be digitized for you and a few design changes will be made. I’ll see that all the bits and pieces are included. The new set will be sold by downloading it in parts. With all the changes it will still be a huge project and task. We’ll have a mailing list with space for suggestions while I’m busy with the project. I’m thinking of having the storyline designs (wording) sold separately for those who still need to finish the project (those who bought the magazine or kit) and need help with this. For those who just cannot wait any longer and haven’t had the time to start it the first time around can just jump in and enjoy the new version. So, until then, finish all those other UFO’s as the New, Revised Pretty Princess is going to keep you busy for some time! 18/09/2012 |
