These are perfect for a tween.
Here are the next two. It turned out better than what I had in my mind! Lots of pictures!
Oh, how they love the twirl!
Love these! I love the back with the applique and they seem super twirly.
,he was so happy when he found it! came to us and was opening the envelope and said " where's the costume?"
my Ellibug got her braces today with pink bands of course! she was cheesin' at everyone who passed by hoping to show them off!
the pattern shopping story is so funny. I bet she looks cute in her braces too.
OT- but need some support if possible...
How frustrating!!! My husband travels alot and always complains that it is so rough and that it sounds so glamorous but really isn't. Well that might be true most of the time but after being repsonsible for two other human beings and running the house by yourself I think travel sounds pretty good. Not having to cook any meals, do the dishes, sleep in a bed you didn't have to make, not having to clean the bathroom and only having to worry about getting yourself on an airplane - yeah, that sounds tough. Where do I sign up? I'm sure he was exhausted and looking forward to finally getting home but I can feel your frustration.
My husband was frustrated with me today because he had no shirts that were ironed. Hmmm, when you take the last ironed shirt out of the closet that is a good time to ask me to iron more. Its not my fault you are running late for your meeting. Doesn't he realize that my iron is for sewing, not ironing shirts
I was at my Walmart today, the one that has always had a pretty decent fabric department. We never had the creative cuts but do have quite a bit of fabrics by the yard.
Today I saw a new item, called stash packs. They were packaged as 2 - 2 yard cuts per package and priced at $8 for the 4 yards.
They look somewhat similar to what others were finding on clearance, but these are priced at $8 for 4 yards as the regular price right on the package.
Not sure if others have seen these, or if they are trying different things in different markets? Anyway, I didn't buy any even though I was tempted, but I thought it looked like it could be an ongoing display. Time will tell.
I was just at our Walmart on Saturday and they did not have those packs of fabric BUT they were starting to put the fabric department back.
I found out why Facebook and Photobucket were not the way they normally are. My computer had run out of disk space. That's fixed now.
Here is the Winnie the Pooh & Friends Vida
That came out really cute, love the piglet
My PhotoPass pictures came in
♥ ♥ ♥ This is my favorite picture ♥ ♥ ♥
Love the one with Mickey and Minnie too but I think the one of your DS and Belle is so cute!
Well, I have been very busy... There may be a WDW trip in my near future. My BFF entered into a "contest" at her work - they are sending 10 people to WDW in Oct for the Disney training seminar that they do... anyways, she is narrowed down to a group of 21 right now, so she has a good chance of winning.
Where do I fit in? Well, she wants to bring her 12 y/o dd and needs someone to "watch" her while she is in meetings for 3 days.
D~
That sounds like a great babysitting job to me. I see you have already made your ADRs.
I think the cancellation fee kicks in at 45 days since that is when your final payment is due. If you end up going to the World and can't get a reservation at Chef Mickey before 9 pm, you could try just showing up earlier and if they can seat you they will. Doing this with only 3 people is probably alot easier then with a bigger group.
I'm such a lurker most of the time but I do want to share some of my latest projects that I made for my grandaughter
Thanks for looking!
These are so cute. I love how you reused the pants and they go so well with the Dalmations and the Mickey ghost. The tink set is really cute but I LOVE the tigger dress. It is so sweet.
i finnally finished the vida'ish peasent
dress/shirt...turned out pretty cute! [/FONT][/B]
I love the Halloween dress and how you did the Trick / Treat on the front/back of the dress.
Hi Everyone! Such cute things posted!!!!
Well, tomorrow am at 4:30 we will head to the airport to say goodbye to Andrew and Jess. They are going to China to teach english through a program at Cedarville University until mid/late June 2012. YIKES!!!!! Since they are going to be teachers, I decided to make them a "Teacher Roll Up" lol...I know things hang over the edges, but still think they turned out okay??? Also made them a goodie bag of stuff to take on the plane for the long flight. If you think of it, say a prayer for them
I know they are going to have a wonderful adventure!!! They will be in Bejing China!!! Gonna be some happy/sad tears tomorrow though
How exciting but I can imagine there will lots of tears shed at that goodbye. Love the roll ups you made for them. Cute idea.
I am sure it was a dead give-away because of the fact that Splash Mountain is my all time favorite ride, and this is a well known fact. It is also a well known fact that I have every square inch of this ride photographed, and when I am feeling especially lonely for WDW, I look at Splash Mountain pictures while I am listing to the ride music... If only I had a log to sit in.
D~
Hmmm, with all of the talent that is contained with in you and your husband I find it hard to believe that you do not have a hallowed out log to sit in. It would be perfect for the lake. Your Project Runway design is amazing. The details on the shirt and on the shorts are outstanding. Shucks, I was going to ask you where you got that doll hat pattern but now I see that it was one of your modifications. There is no way that I could let this outfit out of my house!
I just had to tackle those roll-up pants . . . But since the material I'd bought to make the boys next pairs of easy fits couldn't be "messed up" with any trial and error, Kirsten got to help me out.
The first pair I made, well, they weren't even picture worthy.
But they helped me figure out where to go next.
So - here are Kirsten's version of the roll-up pants:
As you can guess, she's very excited about her new outfit! It was her idea to do ribbon ties (she said she didn't plan on ever wearing them as long pants) and she helped me with the cut of her shirt.
I can see why she is so excited. the pants are really cute! Thank you so much for taking the time to create the tutorial. Great job.
I can't wait to post them Monday night (after I have made reservations for Palo and a couples massage
Now that sounds like FUN.
I have been sewing alllllll weekend. Made lots of progress on orders and still have 3 shirts and 3 dresses to get done before end of the week. Just had to pop in and post pics of my granddaughters back to school outfits. (Mia starts 1st grade and Wendy is just going to Pre-K but needed an outfit too, of course). They didn't want primary colors so I had a hard time coming up with something to use the chalkboard fabric with without using primary colors.
ETA: JES is his initials since "Jonathan" wouldn't fit vertically on a 0-3 month size
And then, as you may or may not know...(who couldn't know as much as I have talked about it
)...my new grandson is due in 3 weeks. They are HUGE into Texas A&M football (both daughters and son in law graduated from there and DD still works there)....so I made mini sized (0-3 months) Texas A&M overalls for him. He is due on the 1st game day...wonder if he will get to wear them?? (Stitchontime did the "hand" applique for me that is on the bib last year but this is the first time I have used it....super impresses with her details)
the back to school sets are so cute. You did a great job creating something with a little pink in it, I bet it was hard to figure out something that was not primary colors. The overalls are the best. I love the football with the year on the back and the "hand" applique is super.
)
Such a great outfit! I have trouble on little girls shirts sometimes, I can't imagine appliqueing on a doll's outfit. Esp. such a detailed applique. I think you did a great job on Brer Rabbits hair & water, btw. 
Anyway, I am stepping away for a bit. I was wondering what you all thought about this.... What would look better for a ruffle, red or black dot?
but I loved his middle name.
