I made one, she is not in the hoop. She does come with a machine embroidery face file though
So cute!!! I thought about making those dolls last year for Christmas presents for the grandgirls. Maybe this year!
I use spray on sometimes, fabric glue sticks sometimes and nothing other times!
I missed the move!! Hey page 6 isn't bad!
Here is the Halloween skirt I finished for Kaedyn today. Another bad picture, but oh well!!
Cute!
We're big George fans here too.... Thought I'd share one of my first dresses offered for sale. You can tell by the age of my daughter that it's been a while.... I bought TONS and TONS of that fabric at Wal-Mart for $4 a yard. Now it goes for a premium price on resale.....
So very cute!
Thanks Shannon.... I think it was 2003.... What a great model she has been right from the start....... and what priceless photos have I accumulated!
Before I get back to the costume sewing, I thought I'd post my belated castle pics:
This was from our second night at the Halloween party.... the one my husband and teenage son refused to attend with us..... hmmmm..... can't imagine WHY!!!!!!
I love that outfit!! Your DD was and is still so cute!!
....I will post pics pics of my Cars outfits (finally!).
I've had a hectic time the last couple of weeks. DH is out of the country so I have to all the yard work (which I guess I usually do anyway) and housework and everything kid related. I have kidney stones (so we hope b/c if it's not stones it's bladder cancer -- have some very intermittent back pain though so hopefully kidney stones). And yesterday I had to fork over $4,400 for a new furnace for our lower level -- yes, this was the same day I had to make our final payment to Disney. And why oh why does Halloween have to come along and interrupt my regular scheduled Disney sewing?
Anyhoo, here are the Cars oufits for DHS -- and sorry for the crappy photos. I really should try to do them with the clothes layed out on the floor so you can see the skirt portion of the dress better and the bow is impossible to make look decent without being tied around a real waist (it's Carla's bow pattern and it makes the prettiest bow -- just bad photos and tieing without a model).
Front of dress (Simply Sweet bodice with my own made up stripwork skirt) and Bowling Shirt:
Back View:
Lightning McQueen close up (this is painted -- I tried appliqueing it initially and it was horrid):
Out of focus hairbow: (edited to add it's upside down too!!!)
Better view of applique on bowling shirt: (so you can see the puckers in the fabric -- ugh!)
And sorry for the uber large photos -- I try resizing them and nothing happens. You can also tell by the *ever so fabulous* quality of the photos why I want a new camera for our trip. Sadly I think I got a new furnace for Christmas instead
Never can have too big of pictures!! I love the outfits, very cute! I am about to try my first bowling shirt!
It went ok; the staff were all fantastic. They hired me, so I guess that's good. All their staff is technically per diem, the positive to that being that I can take time off whenever I want, and choose my own schedule freely. (great for summer and winter vacation). The downside is no dependable income, although the nurses I talked to today all said they are working every single shift they're available, and they (the company) are still asking for more. It's private duty for medically fragile children, and in my case, because I have pediatric hospice experience, they're excited for me to work with families in that situation. So emotionally draining, but incredibly rewarding work, doing something I really believe in, but not having to be on call which was my big issue with returning to Hospice. I actually have a second interview on Monday, too with a small home health agency; figures, I've been looking for work for 3 months and suddenly opportunities are opening up. I'm just praying that I make the right choice. The good thing is that the minimum for the agency that hired me today is only one shift per month, so even if I took another job I could still work for them, too...but then I'd lose the ability to have a consistent family to work with.
Congrats! And lots to think about!! The job sounds great with some flexiblity!! Good luck on monday!
Yay!! I have always gotten them quickly from both! Claire is in England, so usually I get hers when I get up in the morning!
Awww, I remember trying to find a "saints" costume when the kids were in school! I see you have gotten some great advice!
Well, my grandgirls are going to be.... recycle girl, kitty, the bowler, minnie mouse, Pocahontas, Kiki of kiki's delivery service and gigi the cat, which is kiki's best friend. Now the kiki is a purple & black good witch (its an old movie from the 80's from the same guy who did ponyo) that we made last week. It turned out cute, but its long sleeves and the weather is suppose to be hot next friday for the halloween party. So I will be making a poodle skirt and bowling shirts for Miss Kadie & Miss Molly this week. And here I thought I was finished with Halloween early!! I got the fabric tonight and will be cutting out tomorrow!
Here is a picture of the grandgirls last week at Disneyland in their costumes for Mickeys not so scary halloween party!
Okay, after a bunch of times of editing, I think I have an image of the grand girls!
It keeps pulling the fabric down into the machine and knotting up the bobbin thread on the underneath side. Then the needle will bounce up and down very quickly and stop. 
I always go overboard 
I hope he gets better real soon! 
!! You can easily learn to sew before May!! Give it a shot, you may surprise yourself! I couldn't sew when I found this thread 2 years ago, and neither could many of the other people on here!
