Thanks!!! Her birthday is Dec. 1st.

My dd's is Nov. 29th! They are Almost the same age

Happy afternoon all! I am trying to make the Feliz dress for my baby girl for Easter (she'll be almost 9 months old then). The pattern only goes down to a size 18 month/2T which they say is a 22.5 inch chest (I think), so I need one smaller obviously. Right now her chest is about 18.5 inches. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to decrease the size before I go about cutting all my fabric, or a way to determine if the size I decrease it to will fit? Also, silly question but to you add the seam allowance to the outside of the pattern line?

Thanks!

I made a couple Feliz's for my dd who was 12 months at the time. I used the smallest size and didn't allow for a seam allowance. It was still a little big for her, so Looking back I should have taken 1/2" off the pattern as well. I think the only part that was big though was the shoulder straps. The rest of the dress is pretty adjustable.

Not sewing related, but...

DS is sick with a sinus infection an very clingy, so I have to do the cleaning while he's napping so I'm losing some sewing time!! But I was able to make an "altered" paint can. This is for my scrapbooking weekend too. We do a Secret Scrapper (like Secret Santa) and I made this for her. I'll leave her a gift every day of the weekend. The can is filled with scrapbooking goodies too. DD has already asked for one and said she would pick out the stuff (paper, ribbon, etc.) for it the next time she was at Joann's. I think I'll be making more of these, maybe even as Easter baskets!

Side view - the flowers are 3 dimensional and the die cut on the lid is sparkly.

I have done a few of these as well, and I love doing them! This one is great Leslie! I can tell you have great style in all area's of your life
BTW, check your local non chain hardware stores. I can get the gallon size can's for $1.50 and the quart size for $.80 at mine! Much cheaper than Home Depot or Lowe's!

Hi Everyone!

I see everyone's creative juices have been flowing - some really great things!!!

My BFF's daughter snuck the quilt I had made for her mom for her bday after she was tucked in last night - lol - her mom had to take a pic for me!

Here is the patriotic Army quilt I made for DH while he was away last weekend! I love how the edges frayed!

These look fabulous! I'm so glad your BFF's dd loves her quilt. It came out great!

I can post photos now!! YAY!


Ok, so I've been making things with patterns from youcanmakethis.com - the faith top and the boutique bottoms. I've NEVER sewn anything before! Well, maybe a pillow or something but never used a pattern and made clothing.

These are all for my 2 year old. Two are for our trip in two weeks - she needed a St. Patrick's day outfit and then I also am making a pooh outfit for our character breakfast at Crystal Palace. The other one is something just for pretty

Here is the St. Patrick's Day one:

Here is the Pooh one, which I still need to come up with some sort of applique on the top. Any ideas? Not much custom pooh stuff out there for me to CASE!

And here is the last one. A full outfit! She was NOT in the mood to cooperate with me to do photos, so this is the best I could do. I apologize for the crappy photos, you know 2 year olds. LOL

Back:

YAY!! I have this pattern down pat. I'm kind of afraid to move on to something else.


Edit: Why are my photos showing up as links? I have them in the image tags correctly?? That's odd.

Your dd is gorgeous! And I am in awe at how fabulous these outfits came out! It looks like you have been sewing forever!! Don't be afraid to try the other patterns on YCMT! They may even be easier than those!

I edited these on my computer, but they aren't showing up as edited in Photobucket so I'm sorry if they are too big.

Crsytal! You have been busy, they all look great!! Did Jenna get her happy mail?

Positive thoughts needed please!!
Last week I had a rheumatoid arthritis blood work. While I was negative for RA I was Positive for the ANA blood test which is inflammation. So it is still possible I have RA. This is going to sound really odd but i am actually happy to possibly be getting some answers. It has been year of going to orthopedics and drs only to be told I don't see anything you are fine. Many Mri's and xrays and test. Some come back with some stuff but nothing to show why my joints hurt and I have swelling as well as numbness. All the drs said I was way to young for RA. Then thankfully my GP who is amazing said sure lets run the blood test it can't hurt ut I doubt it. Then with the positive ANA he said yup very possible go se e a rheumatologist. Which is fine with me because MAYBE just maybe I can get some answer! So for the 1st time in year I am hopefully for relief and don't feel like I am just a whiny lazy person that maybe there is a reason for all my pain! I am a tad nervous it could be lupus too because that is the other big one that comes up with positive ANA. Either way I may have answer which is what I so very need! So if you guys have it in your hearts please hope I finally may have found answers!

I am so happy that you are finally getting an answer. You know your body better than anyone and it sounds like you have been suffering long enough! Yeah! I am glad that it is not lupus, but something that they have great treatments for now. I will pray that they get the rheumatologist helps you soon.

Abby found this baseball fleece in the remnants section. I used a Burda pattern to make this hoodie for her.

That looks so warm and cozy!

Thank you guys for all your positive feed back I made another shirt today for my niece, still have to make DD a matching one! I feel good like I'm on a roll! I did not have a pattern for this just an idea from other tops I have seen. I can't wait to see it on her.

Very Cute!!!

You have been busy! They all look great!

Okay, I don't think poohnpigletCA shared this yet, so I'm going to...
I made all those crayon roll-ups for Sierra's 2nd grade class. I was quite pleased with myself, btw.

She told me yesterday that all the boys in her class were turning them crayon-side-out, wrapping them around their wrists, and making them lasers. Not guns, because their school has a zero policy....but lasers. I nearly cracked up. All that work, and they are now lasers.

And on the flip side of that, Sierra's friends are placing their orders, as in "I would like for your auntie to make me one with animal print". And to top if off, my 17 yo son just asked me to make him one out of the Wall-E fabric he just spotted. I promised him I would as long as he doesn't use it as a laser.

Gotta love those crayon roll-ups

Boys are so funny!!!

billwendy- LOVE the quilts! How cute she looks using it! I just adore the pics of your puppy!
That is really cute! LOVE that material

Cute it looks so snuggly


great job!

all are adorable!!!! I may have to try that pattern

I was cased I was cased That was the 1st time too! Everything is beautiful! especially Jenna!

I know you might not really want RA...but it is nice to have an answer and then a direction to head! So glad you were able to push your way to an answer!!!


GOOD NEWS!!! Granny is moving to the new nursing home this weekend! She doesn't know just yet becuse we so scared somthing will go wrong and we don't want her to be sad if it gets messed up. We will tell her Friday night because we will have all the transfer stuff set up by then.

I love all the dresses. You are always so busy! I love it. haha

I have a quick question. It is not sewing related but I figured since so many of you dabble in much more that someone should know the answer. I am looking to paint a couple of pairs of shoes for my dd for our trip. Does anyone know where I can find the little white canvas shoes? Our walmart had them last year but I can't find any anywhere.

Thanks!!!

Do you have a payless shoe store near you? I know they used to have some I haven't been in a while. What about a discount shoe store?

Here is Jenna's Mardi Gras outfit.

Love the Mardi Gras outfit!

Im glad you are finally getting answers. That is the worse when you know something is not right, but nobody else does! Im thinkin about you, and hoping it is just the simplest thing they can help you with for some relief!

 

[tinashaver]

Thank you again for all the nice comments... here is a new dress I just finished it was my first time applique I think I did ok it was funny I had to keep taking breaks to look away my eyes where getting tired watching the needle! haha

I saw a version of this on

The rest of the dress is pretty adjustable.

Thanks! I am going to give it a try and see how it goes. I'll probably cut a few trial pieces before using my good fabric. Thanks for the help! I'll let you all know how it goes!

Oh this is great news and I am so happy she will be close to you and in a better home. How is the speech going? It is so hard when words get stuck. I am happy she can laugh about it because in the end the choice is to laugh or cry. Lately I try to laugh more. Yeah for Granny!

 

[Melani]

ILet me preface by saying I have only sewn bibs, curtains, s;lipcovers, tote bags, hem pants, etc...

I finished one dress (well almost - I still have to sew on the buttons & sash)
She liked it so much I couldn't get it off her & she already got a stain on it!

"Belle"

Here are the fabrics for "SoWhite", "Rora" &"Relli"

I still have to buy some blue ribbon. I want satin, but will that hold up in the wash?

I couldn't find any large Princess fabrics, I even looked online.

My back hurts from hunching over. I sewed the straps in backwards & had to do them over., that took the longest.

Maybe I'll get the rest done before May.

 

[Haganfam5]

I love the shape of the top. It's beautiful! Did you use a pattern?
The applique is great too!

 

[Haganfam5]

Has anyone bought the Wizard of Oz Under the Rainbow fabric? I am looking for some. Ebay is too expensive and quiltshops.com is about $.50 cheaper a yard. Do fabric stores carry this? I only have a Joann's near me and I don't recall seeing it. Maybe a small quilt shop?

The "you're too young" comment is just not true. I was diagnosed with RA at 12 (in seventh grade.) After my second child was born they realized that I also had Lupus (it is rare to have both--but what can I say, I'm unique!)

I understand all too well the relief of knowing you are not crazy--there is something going on. If you need to talk-pm me.

Great job on your dress! It looks great! My back always hurts too from sewing.....I don't know if that is because I'm out of shape (I'm sure this has something to do with it) or if I have bad posture, or what. I never would have thought that sewing would hurt but it definitely does!

Not sure if this helps...but are any of these what you are looking for? Not sure how the price compares to what you were looking at.

I was diagnosed with RA about 3 years ago, I was 34. I had been feeling stiff and sore for years, I thought it was just being to heavy, but I got to the point where I could not even lay in my bed comfortably, I was always sore !!! I do have a lot of pain in my arms and hands and I am a social worker so I write notes all day but a good dose of tylenol usually takes the edge off. My blood work was off the charts, it does run in my family and I do go to a rheumatologist because my uncle died from a very rare, aggressive form of RA about 6 years ago. I don't take any medicine for it yet, the side effects of the meds they wanted to prescribe were a little to much for me, so I continue with Tylenol Arthritis and that does help me. It is very scary but a manageable disease. PM if you want to talk.

 

[tinashaver]

I love the shape of the top. It's beautiful! Did you use a pattern?
The applique is great too!

Thank you what I did was use the arm hole and bodice width from a bowsandstuff pattern then just shaped the top how I wanted... If it helps I used the same bodice pattern w/ the cinderella top.
