This is the best resource for Bow making and it's free. http://www.girlythingsbows.com/ I think that Teresa has some more in her bookmarks.Still trying to figure out the multi-quote thing. I messed it up a little bit in my previous message.
I'm looking for a good resource for making hairbows. There are so many to choose from on YCMT. Does anyone have one that they love and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks, Jen
How perfect and classy!I made this today! It's for my DD to wear on Chinese New Year. It's not quite complete. The pattern calls for a ribbon tie closure. I'm not sure that I like the idea of that. I'm afraid that it'll fall off if it comes untied. I'm thinking of adding a button closure that is covered with a big sash bow. OR a frog type closure. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet.
It is a Daisy Kingdom pattern that I altered.

Thanks everyone on the comments on the dress I made!
Jeanne, love those family shirts that you slaved over! The Walt and Mickey one is definitely one that I would wear. Very clever of scanning that sweatshirt to make an applique!
Shannon, that wrap dress is beautiful too! I have that pattern on my wish list!
All the other stuff posted has been great too. My mind is just a big pile of mush right now. So little time, and yet so much to do! Two weeks from tomorrow we will be in Disney World!
and some aprons/chef hats
Hang in there with your dad! I hope he can get the help and answers he needs!Thank you ALL so much for the supportive comments and PMs- it really does help!!!
My DD had these (Stride Rite) last year and LOVED them and so did I. She wore them alot- but then again, she doesnt wear red much. She got rave compliments everywhere she went. They are too small now and didnt carry them in her size when we went back in, so the next size up was sort of a pink two tone- not half as much fun IMO. She still tries to steal them out of my "outgrown clothes" box I keep in the bottom of her closet. Good support for an open shoe, comfy like a sneaker, but cuter and a little more dressy than a sneak.
Petti question-
If I want something that is going to add poof to my 2.5yr olds dresses- should I just buy a petticoat that white with the full slip? I know I got a simple slip once to wear understuff that had a pretty lace that peaked out and it was constantly sliding down.
Tom- I simply LOVE the Mickey-Pluto dress with the pinwheel squares- so original!!! What pattern do you use for the underdress? I have seen some like it on ebay.
Wendy- love the horse cord jumper!
As for my Dad- well the MRI results are inconclusive on if theres a tumor where they think it is in his spine. However, he got his PSA level test back today and I know he was concerned it would jump (It was a 4 a couple months ago) he thought it might go as high as a 12. It has skyrocketed to 171!!! So they know there is a tumor, and they are also trying to figure out if he has lymphoma or lukemia. Apparently his urologist is away this week and he is the one calling the shots at the moment and he is the only one who is dessenting in the group. The hormone shot he was supposed to get was post poned by the fill in Dr and he is being given an oral hormone at the moment, and will probably have to wait for his Doc to return next week to get the shot. The pain is moving now, not just his spine, but his leg, etc and the pain meds are wearing off sooner than he would expect.
I went and saw one of my Docs today and I have been told- no more large stores, no grocery shopping, malls, etc, not walking, etc and basically rest, rest, rest in order to keep pain to a minimum, pubic bone is wreaking havoc on everything from my tailbone to my neck, spine, hips. etc...and they want me back on Friday. I get adjusted and that helps some. I am 22 weeks now and it seems like May 25th is a long way off.
Im still an emotional roller coaster. I wanted to sew in the worst way this morning to get my mind off my Dad and of course I could not find the power cord to my machine, I finally found it, but wore myself out looking for it, I spent the afternoon in bed, sleeping and getting up to pee. Bah! I love this baby inside me, but I really hate this pregnancy.
On a brighter note- I am very excited to finally get adult sized bedroom furniture- or at least chest of drawers, 2- one for me and one for DH, my DD2 is enheriting the dresser I have had since I was 3!!! They are arriving tomorrow. Hooray! So I really hope to be able to tackle my Feliz tomorrow morning. I'm putting my grumpy self to bed by no later than 10 tonight.
I LOVE the Walt and Mickey shirt. I would wear that and I could probably convince DH to wear it too. First the Storm Trooper shirt I am casing and now this one I would love to case....Okay, now these I really DID work on, slave over even...
Can you tell what this is supposed to be? This is my big Walt fan
I bought Jayden this hoodie and she loved it so much I made her a shirt to match. It involved cramming a hoodie into my scanner/copier...
I had to hunt for it!
It is Simplicity 9977/0602 HTH!
I finished my biggive outfit for Avy.

I am a little nervous to post my latest with all of the greatness that has been posted on this thread already. You guys are really outdoing yourselves. I cannot wait to see some of these in person.
Here is what I worked on this weekend. the model was less than cooperative (and I found that stupid string hanging down after I took pictures). The pants look wonky in the first picture, but they aren't- the model was ummm asking when I would get the candy I promised. . .
and some aprons/chef hats
And the newest addition to our family (and because it is safe to show his face since he isnt' wearing a dress)
That is soooooooo amazing. I love the fabric. Where is it from? Is there any chance that after you are done with this that you would consider selling it??? My DD is only 22 months old and so in two years this would be so wonderful for her chinese new year outfit! We are chinese and this year we're celebrating at Epcot! We have gold silk brocade dress for DD and same color silk boys chinese pajama-like outfit for DS to wear - we plan to take photos at Epcot, watch the acrobats, eat chinese food, give red packets and visit with some friends who hopefully will meet up with us there! Then we will go around to all the visiting chinese students who work at Epcot and say Happy New Year in chinese to them!I made this today! It's for my DD to wear on Chinese New Year.

Yeah that's why my DH says about me.DH just informed me that I have a problem. He thinks I am OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disney.
That is so close! I could alter that pattern to do what I am looking for. I was hoping to find one online though. Who has McCall's patterns on sale?

I am wearing him down! Little by Little. I will eventually win.

I used to love the Smurfs. Jenna has a little doll quilt that was mine that has Smurfs on it and her first birthday cake was Smurfette.
