I mine! Although I just started figuring out how to use it! Of course I don't do anything the easy way and want to cut fabric with designs not on cartridges!

 

[lovesdumbo]

It worked!
Thanks again.... now I can get this thing put together.
I'll post it when its done.

Can't wait to see it!

I love the purse!!! Hey, did I ever post the pictures of the purse that wonderful sweet Steph made for me??? I uploaded them, but I think I forgot to post!!!

Thanks! I don't recall seeing your bag-would love to see it!

I'm going to stay with my son and daughter-in-law tomorrow - Sunday to help her with little Taylor and her brother Ty. I'm gonna see how many kisses I can give those two precious babies.

I can't wait!

Enjoy!!!

It's officialy Tessa's 6th birthday. She was born at the stroke of midnight between March 19 and March 20. So, we got to choose her birthday. My midwife said she's never seen it happen in all her years of practice. We chose March 19 because that was my grandpa's birthday.

Where has the time gone?

Happy Birthday Tessa!!!!

I am glad you all asked for some modeling. I think this will be my sons Disboard first! In the second pic, he is trying to look like Mickey. I wish I had time to get a better smile but we had to catch the bus. I will get my D8 to model the other outfit later. She was already dressed for school.

Too cute!

here are my st. patrick's day tops (where 1 became a skirt). i did eventually add ribbon ties and buttons to the one with the jeans (funny thing, apparently the ribbons wouldn't stay tied at school so she ended up just pushing the shamrock top down to wear it as a skirt over her jeans for the remainder of the school day!)

the red dress is that preshirred fabric (got it on clearance for $3.50/yd at joann's and used just over 1/2 yard to make this dress! the ruffles and shoulder straps are just strips cut off the bottom of the same piece of fabric )

of course the seemingly "required" disboutique tiered twirl skirt (so perfect for my first project)

i'm off now to keep working on my dds' A-line dresses before they get home....

Cute stuff!!!!

Hi Everyone!

Well, here is my latest creation. I noticed after taking pictures that on one bow the ribbon is upside down, so I've got to fix them. They'll be adorable once I turn the ribbon around!

Adorable!

If you ask, you shall receive! Here is my Jenna in the outfit I made. It looks so cute on her I think.

She looks at little stiff in this one:

I like the way the top came out. I was thinking it is probably going to be pretty hot in Florida in May so I wanted something light and simple. I am going to make a couple of more like this. I am thinking for their pirate cruise outfits. I am in the process of cutting pieces now.

Anyone have any ideas for my son for the Pirate cruise? I was thinking something sleeveless, maybe a cut off muscle looking shirt with shorts. I think that would be good for a boy pirate. Is there any pattern like that or should I just wing it? Thanks!

Love that! I bet you could wing the pirate thing. I made a skull cap for Halloween-I did use a pattern. I ended up getting a chef pattern because that was what they had in stock that was on sale for $1.

So this isn't sewing related, but I'll share anyway because I bet you all will understand my excitement. I live about 25 minutes from the Crocs home base/warehouse. They started their warehouse sale today and I bought Crocs for the boys for this summer and the next 2 summers. 8 pairs total for them, 1 pair of cute Croc slip-ons for myself, 2 messenger bags, 12 jibbitz, and 3 pairs of socks for $64. Hurray!

COOL!!!!!

Aww, look at your other cutie here. That outfit looks wonderful!! Your kids all look so alike....so adorable!

Hi all! I have not posted here in a very long time!! We just booked a trip and I only have 37 days to plan. DD has decided she LOVES high school musical and I'd love to make her something. Has anyone made anything HSM lately? I've dug through the thread and not found anything. Anyone know if there is HSM fabric anywhere other than what I saw at Walmart? The colors are just so bright!!

 

[jessica52877]

SoHappy Stacy made the CUTEST outfit for Tnkrbelle! Kristine post a picture for us please! I could probably go and steal it off your TR. I thought it was super cute.

There ya go!


There is also a navy fabric with the pics of the cast on it that they have at JoAnn's and Walmart I believe.

you'll LOVE your cricut! I don't think I've posted these yet, but I did these with my cricut - love that thing!

OK - so my craft room certainly still needs some tweaking. I needs a good cleaning, and my scrapbook side of my bookcases need to be straightened and organized. BUT, this is what I've got so far.

view from the door looking in

bookcases -
top - obviously piles of fabric that I still need to go through
in the basket on left -commercial patterns (notice they're way up top? because I seldom use them anymore)
basket on right - small cuts of fabric folded on half comic book boards
left bookcase - obviously all fabric
right bookcase - top shelf - all blanks ready to be used
second shelf - cricut jukebox, scrapbook markers, cuttlebug supplies
third shelf - another basket of small cuts of fabric, comic book boards & polar notions boards
fourth shelf - scrapbook paper
fifth shelf - one basket has stickers & misc. embellishments other basket has stamps

To the right of the bookshelves - two ikea racks that hold idea books, computer printer papers & scrapbook mat stacks

desk where I scrapbook & embellishment center

This one is for Heather - my copy of the castle print

My sewing area

close up of the desk where I sew and cut - I put in this metal strip just below an ikea rail. I wanted this so that I could put the calculation sheets especially for Carla C's patterns on the strip to reference while I'm cutting. I think it'll be really helpful.

I don't think you can see it in the pics, but my cricut is in all of this mess. Right above it are two ikea rails that I hang all of my cricut notebooks, overlays and cartridges in.

In the wide holders on the rails, I have all of my machine manuals in one, Carla C's pdf patterns in one, other pdf patterns in one, and the fourth holds various printouts that I've collected for ideas.

To make room for my scrapbook stuff to move back into the room, I had to weed out a lot of fabric. This is the pile that has to be re-homed.

I'm loving it in here now! I still need to sort a few things out, but I can tell I'm gonna really get a lot done in here!


The next project - I want to sew table covers for my sewing area. I'm trying to figure out what kind of color scheme & feel that I want to go with. I went to a few places today on the hunt for fabric, and nothing struck me. I'll wait until I find something that I'll LOVE since it will be a lot of fabric. If you were going to do this project, what would you choose?

Welcome to my Kingdom!!! Where the motto is..... tell DH to get use to it...... we've only just begun!!!
You are gonna love this thing. let us know if you need help. We're more then willing to help you out!

I mine! Although I just started figuring out how to use it! Of course I don't do anything the easy way and want to cut fabric with designs not on cartridges!

Jessica- try starting with something really easy, learn the quirky little ways to set your Cricut then move to something a little more difficult , adjuts again, then repeat- about the 4th time you'll probably ahve it down. I'm juts now learning about SCAL and Inkscape. inkscapes gonna be FUN! I have downloaded soooo many new fonts and dingbats! Tonight- I found some dingbats for Supoerman, batman etc. What are you wanting to cut the fabric for? Did you use Inkscape to get rid of all the little unnecessary lines etc before you put it on SCAL and tried to cut the image??

I SOOOOOOO AGREE WITH YOU T!!!

 

[revrob]

YES! That is AbbyGrace in the Snow White dress! It was her very first trip to Disney after coming home. She had been home for two weeks and wwe went to Disney. She had her BBB appointment and she totally did not understand what anyone was saying when we were all trying to get her to smile for her pictures. She kept looking at us like "why are you acting so silly?" I'll go take a picture of the picture and post it for you.

 

[tanyaandallie]

There ya go!

OH CUTE!!! Thanks for posting! This is going to be a surprise trip for the kids and she will just flip if she gets a HSM outfit out of it!! That pic shows me that the fabric at Walmart actually can be cute!

 

[jessica52877]

Shannon! I the room! I wish I had more room in my room! I sometimes think about taking half the basement but I love my windows also.

I am not good with starting easy! I do everything backwards and start with the hardest first! I think I really need to learn about inkscape and just editing what is in there. I cut a Minnie the other day, really cute but it didn't cut her red hat. And did Mickey, he was simple. I started to do Charlie from Charlie and Lola but it wasn't detecting the pants. I think I kind of figured out to change the one # but then I was tired and went to bed.

I have seen some really good dingbats too! Dallas can't wait for spiderman and batman. There was also one with tons of Star Wars characters and NBC characters.

I keep seeing the infomercial late at night and it keeps calling my name

 

[princessmom29]

ok, pics....

the contrasting hem just placed next to the body of the dress....

then with the hem flipped up so they are right sides facing.....
this is where I get lost

I don 't know if you can see the lower fabric.....

Did I cut one of them wrong?
I have this feeling I am missing something obvious
That I will feel really silly once I see what it is.
Its driving me a bit nuts

I could flip the hem piece and the curves would line up but then the finished hem would be wrong..... right?
ugh, I think I am going crazy

I don't know if anyone has already helped, but did you try leaving the blue piece alone and flipping the toile down os that you end up looking at the wron side of the toile?

 

[revrob]

Here she is!
