Anyone out there have any of the red friends around the world fabric left? Sold mine thinking we wouldn't make it back to disney before DD got too old to want outfits! Well, I guessed wrong and would love to find any even if it's a yard....

So this is what happens at my house when my kids are bored. I think I spent to much time making hair bows today.

Yes the my little pony's are climbing up the side of my fridge.
Did you know they were magnetic?

My Joann finally got in some Minnie Dot!!!!! I picked up red and pink. So, excited!!!!!! Now, I just have to actually finish sewing something so I can post it! I am still getting used to my new machine and thinking about braving the ruffler foot to finish my stripwork jumper.

There is a top that has been done a few different times that I really love. I think both times, I have seen them it was without a pattern. I lost the first one in the last thread where directions were posted. If someone could give me some instructions on how to CASE this, I would be eternally greatful. I am not yet at a level where I feel comfortable creating my own pattern out of thin air.

Here is the top I like:

HI GUYS!!!

SORRY IM YELLING THIS BUT DANIEL FINISHED RADIATION TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is FANTASTIC news!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I will dance with you.

This came out great! LOVE IT.

Linnette

Wow! This is fantastic!!

Hello everyone! I am a huge time lurker here and finally decided to join in the crafy fun.

Although I don't sew, I DO make hairbows. Here are some Minnie ones I made!

I love looking at all of your lovely creations ladies. Keep up the good work!

Linda these are fantastic! I just love them.

 

[poohnpigletCA]

Ladies I need pricing help please.
What price would you put on these bows?

What would be a fair price?

I have gotten some interested buyers and I thought this would be a great way to buy supplies and pay shipping for BIG GIVES.

Thanks for the help.

Great Job!
My DD just came over and saw the dresses.... in her little congested 2 year old voice said "Ohh, princess dress!"
I had a feeling she would like it And she has recently developed a strong love of pink!
Great job, Sounds like a busy, busy day.

 

[danicaw]

I am no help with pricing, but the bows are great! really cute!

I forgot to mention before that I love the ponies on the fridge! Who knew they could walk up walls etc. I am most impressed
Magnetic ponies, I need to look for those in the store

My DD9 came home today with a newsletter saying they are going to have immigration day and encourages all kids to dress up like the late 1800's. Does anyone know what that would look like and is it doable for a basic sewer in 2 weeks?

Since they're taking about immigrants, I'd keep it simple. I bet a long full skirt, basically a tube gathered onto a fitted waistband, would be a good start. Add a peasant top and maybe an apron or shawl and you've got a good basic outfit that should be pretty quick to make, too.

I think my question was missed I'll ask again because I'm stuck! When hand embroidering facial features on your appliques, do you use embroidery floss? Also, when do you do the hand appliqueing? After everything else has been sewn on?

Thanks, I'm working on my Seuss creations and can't go any further until I know what I'm doing!

 

[tinashaver]

This is awsome! Did you use the Tink pillowcase for this one? Did you satin stitch around the face? Whatever you did it came out wonderfully!

Yes it is also a pillow case this one was harder to find went to a few differt stores they were all just out of the pillow cases. No I didn't do any satin stitching. I am not that brave yet!

Here is the top I like

I just used a rectangle about 2 maybe 2 and half X DD chest then figure how long you want it because I think the hem and ruffles kinda = each other out. Then I just did the elastic tread then sewed it together. Thats what I did. Hope that helps a little! I just kinda do things then think later which is bad cause then I go "Dang it" I shoulda, coulda.

I avoid any type of hand sewing like the plague! If you are going to do details by hand use embroidery floss. I would think you would do your handwork last.

I do not have any experience, but I would use embroidery floss cause you could always use 3 thread rather than 6. I think thread would be to thin?

I think someone is cutting up the scrubs and selling them on ebay as remnants. I was kinda shocked at this.

I can't find my camera!!! I NEED to find it. It has all my mardi gras pictures of Hannah on it. Plus it is the only one I have.
I'm going to have this huge multi quote pretty soon.. just warning you!

 

[PrincessKell]

I made this dress for Jenna last night. She is going to wear it on Monday for Spring picture day at school.

And of course a bow to match.

I Love that dress. is it hard to make? Oh what am I asking you for, you are pro status! hahaha Not me... so do you think I would have any difficulty with it? She looks so darn cute!

 

[PrincessKell]

Here is it! The St. Patricks Day outfit! My first 4 piece set! YAY!

I Just love the fabric and I think it came out so green and Irish!! (My husband's side has the Irish....so my husband demands green on St. Patricks Day )

Pose 1:

My daughter has some chapped lips that she keeps sucking on, so, that explains the huge red lips!

Another pose for you:

Pose 3:

Close-up:

and trust me, there was many more poses to choose from!

And finally, my first attempt at a round neck that went horribly wrong.....Somehow I think I put the front neck piece on the back and the back on the front!!! I was very fed up by the end of it that I just left it. Needless to say, I did not enjoy that one too much. I don't know, I think the round thing just isn't for me....

Oooh isn't that fabric lovely! hehehe I have the same green one too. HAHAHA Great minds think alike, ah?!

I love those Linnette! You are fabulous! What a great drive by!

Yes the my little pony's are climbing up the side of my fridge.
Did you know they were magmatic?

Whoa, I didn't know that they could climb fridges! I thought well mounds of laundry, yes they could get over, but Fridges...now that is a journey! haha

HOLY SMOKES! That is the scrub I wanted, and posted the link to. I saw that on ebay and thought crap that is a lot of money for a tiny piece of fabric... now I see where it came from! YIKES!

I can tell that your DD has Irish in her, because she looks gorgeous in green. Cute outfit by the way. Don't give up on the Round Neck pattern. It is one of my favorites. Wait a week or two and then try another one before you give up on it for good.

What Pattern is this? I love it. Do you think it is to casual to make a First Communion dress using it? I want to make Abby's dress but I haven't found a pattern I love. I am considering a McCall's pattern and they are on sale on Friday at JoAnn's so I may pick it up. I just don't like the dresses in the stores online, they look like bridal gowns! I want my little girl to look like a little girl for a bit longer. She is only 8!

Honestly I think that the dress would be cute as a First Communion dress. I think that it could look great dressed up. I thought that this one looked a little fancier than I thought it would and I just used regular cotton prints. Shannon made one that really was fancy for Chinese New Year for her DD.

So this is what happens at my house when my kids are bored. I think I spent to much time making hair bows today.

Ok I literally LOL when I saw this. My DH wanted to know what was so funny. I have to tell you that this one was hard to explain to him.

I think my question was missed I'll ask again because I'm stuck! When hand embroidering facial features on your appliques, do you use embroidery floss? Also, when do you do the hand appliqueing? After everything else has been sewn on?

Thanks, I'm working on my Seuss creations and can't go any further until I know what I'm doing!

I use Embroidery floss when I have to do details.

When I made Jenna's Lime Green dress I used the Wrap Top pattern from YCMT.com. It really is the pattern that makes the dress look so great.

Thanks all for the compliments on the dresses that I made for Jenna. I have another one, but I forgot to take a picture of it. It is just a simple A-Line dress.

 

[tinashaver]

Ok so I am sitting here and realize I have a lot of outfits for 7 days in WDW! haha so now I am thinking I will scratch something off and replace it with another! So we are going to the O'hana Breakfast and I just adore stitch he is my fav! what would you guys make for this... for DD of coarse! I am gonna wear a shirt with I heart stitch!

 

[jeniamt]

Thanks for the help. Guess I'll hand embroider Thing 1 and Thing 2 on the tummies and their faces, gonna be greedy... I need more help. As I said, I'm not feeling very creative so I'm hoping you guys can help. I'm making 2 Simply Sweets for DD9 and her BF. Had NO luck finding anything Seuss so here is what I've come up with:

The red and white will be the skirt and the black swirl will be the bodice.

Okay, here is where I need help... what to do for the ruffle and the straps. You can't tell from the photos but the torquise fabric is sparkly. What do you guys think? Is the black/white dot too much? Should I reuse the black swirl on the ruffle? Do I need the torquise on the bottom? And the straps? If I use the dots on the ruffle should I reuse it for the straps.

And if that wasn't enough questions for you... I may make them Easy Fit pants to match. What would you make those out of? Thanks a million for your input!!!!
