Wow! you guys were busy yesterday!
Love the new stuff posted and all the fun St. Pattys day stuff!

I was at Sew Expo yesterday and had a great time.
We left at 6:30 am and got back about 6:30 pm.... it is about a 90 min drive down.... but it was a long day, boy did my feet hurt last night. Next year I wear Disney World approved shoes... not cute new clogs ;)

I found a lot of seriously cute fabric... the prices were not great... the average price per yard was about $9. Fat Quarters ran anywhere from 4.50 to $1 each when you buy 20. But the cheaper ones weren't the super cute stuff. So, yes I spent more than I was hoping for, but I am pleased with the things I bought.
I told the friends I went with that I came home with pieces for several projects but not enough to finish any of them... cute ;) But I will get better prices for the basic stuff at home, so that's ok.
I loved the sweatshirt conversion seminar I went to and when I get all my other projects finished I will attempt one for myself :)
I'll try to post pics of the fabric and patterns later today.

We want pics! We want pics!!!
You have to show us all the goodies you got!


STEPHRES:
I was LOL at your post, because I couldn't quite figure out why you would have to use Meghan's sewing machine if your computer broke. :lmao:
And if you want my opinion (which I am warning you is seriously practical and frugal) I would take your machine to the repair shop and have them quote you how much it would cost to fix and go from there. I love my simple machines. They do the job, and I can get almost any look I want with them even though they are ancient and base models. I know I am wicked boring. :rotfl: :rotfl:
 
thank you. I actually convinced him to leave early and go to the ER. I called the specialist and they can't see hime for 3 weeks so they said go to the er:headache:

The fact he left work early to do this is huge!!!!! He says it is over kill but if he is doing it it must be worse then he lets on.

So after iI get the kids from school my girlfriend will watch them while we have a nice afternoon at the er
Please keep us updated when you can. :hug: :hug: :hug:

WEll because you asked......

The boys in Ben's class now have this new thing...they try to "out do" each other with silly sportcoats. Believe it or not, they are required to wear a sportcoat and tie to the dances and the sports awards. Anyway, Ben and I went to the local good will store and found this beauty. It is a wide whale cordory that is a dark yellow. It has wooden buttons. TONS of them. The tie is seriously hideous, and about 6-7 inches wide at the bottom. Anyway, this is what he wore. He was the big hit with all of his buddies. He said most of the male chaperones came up and said, "The sad thing is, I had a suit like that." I paid a whopping 12 dollars for it. His headmaster said to Ben, "Well that may be the best way anyone has pushed the dress code in a long long time. I can't argue with a 3 piece suit!"

This green linen sportcoat was 3 bucks. I'm sure this will be well used in many St.Pattys celebrations in his future as well. It has nasty huge white buttons. And yes, that striped shirt is supposed to make it even louder. It's a Brooks Brothers shirt. Amazing what happens to good clothes when paired with bad coats!

th_agmskirt227Benwinterformal007-2.jpg


These are not great pics of him. He was "in a hurry" like he is most days anymore. He has some of the prettiest blue eyes. Worst thing about blue eyes is the "red eye" in pictures.

Oh my goodness Maureen!!! I was eating a piece of beef jerky when I scrolled down to these pictures and almost choked to death when I started laughing so hard!!!!! I love it!!!

I am pretty sure our Dad had that first corduroy suit but in a slightly darker brown color!!! Oh Wow!!

Did you feel very Napoleon Dyanamiteish going to Goodwill for these suits???

And, that second one!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Brian had a hideous green leisure suit he wore to his prom, but it was 100% polyester, the really polyestery polyester! That is great! He looks like he was having a lot of fun with it!!! He has the best smile!!! You have the best looking kids! Ok, where's Jackson? Doesn't he wear silly outfits?
 
thank you all for helping me decide (the eyelet it is!!)

NOW ....the funny note:

I had no idea it was a hawaiian print!!!!!!!!

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

When somebody posted about the print(i think it was danicaw) I put on my glasses and there it was the word aloha (tiny) in the print!!!!!!!
Now I am having issues with the print!!!! How could I missed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!:scared1:


WENDY: is the fabric OK???????????? I really did not notice the "theme" I am waiting to hear from you to finish the dress!!!

Yeah I think Napoleon Dynamite must have started the whole thing with these guys. The girls still look beautiful. Makes for interresting photos. Ben said that the "mom" chaperones teased him about the suits, but the men were definately more "OMG"

I have no pics of Jackson today...bad momma! It's the middle child thing...not really..he does not like his picture taken most days. I'll have to go pull one up so I don't feel bad.

I was wondering what the girls wore!

Us poor middle children are always the neglected ones! So sad...:sad2:

Very bad news: my computer died. I unplugged it to vaccuum and when I plugged it back in nothing happens. No light, no power, nothing. I don't know if I should take it in or if it's worth it to fix it.

Anyway, I finished the Marieke with Megan's Hello Kitty machine. It kind of made the buttonholes wonky but otherwise it worked just fine.

I really love this pattern, but I have to agree with Aimee, it is much too short. I added two inches and a ruffle. I found this fabric at JoAnn's; it is very sparkly!

IMG_1156.jpg

Love that. We almost got that fabric too. but she changed her mind like six times! hehehe I got what I wanted for her in the end. If she sees that she will want another dress!

HAHA I love that you finished it on the Hello Kitty Machine!

Recently there was a lot of discussion about ironing, and what are children wear. I will say that I am a clothes horse when it comes to my daughter. We have 10 pettiskirts, boutique smocked clothing, custom clothing...well it's endless and TONS of money spent. However I just thought I'd show you what her father let her wear to the park recently.

agmskirt227Benwinterformal011-2.jpg


agmskirt227Benwinterformal012-2.jpg


I then asked her to give me a "pose" so all of my friends on the computer could see how pretty she looked. This is what I got....

agmskirt227Benwinterformal013-2.jpg



And this is the reason why none of it really matters! She was so proud of her colorful outfit. The best part of the ensemble ( in my opinion) is the black tights with red christmas ribbons on the sides. Priceless really!

You know the funny thing is she looks very Lilly from Hannah Montana! Georgia would love that outfit.

I love it! Stitch turned out great and the red fabric is beautiful. Can you share your image of Stitch that you used?
That is a pretty easy plate. It doesn't have a whole lot of smocking, so I think it would be a good design to start off with. I usually buy all of my smocking patterns from my local heirloom shop. I've bought from www.roxanesheirlooms.com before, but she is local as well. She does have alot of smocking patterns though. I would just go to one of the popular sites like www.thesmockingstore.com(I think) you can google for "smocking patterns" Then once you have it narrowed down to which pattern you want I'd google for that pattern to find the best price. I really like Chery Williams patterns. If you want a basic yoke dress she has a great one with alot of variations. Try to get one that has alot of sizes. Her patterns usually have that too. Collars Etc. is also very popular. Do you know if you have a local chapter of SAGA(Smocking Arts Guild of America)? You should check into it on their website and see. If you do I am sure one of the ladies in the guild would help you. A to Z of smocking is what I taught myself to smock from. Any questions I had were answered by my local heirloom shop owner too. It really helps if you have someone that knows some about smocking. I could go on forever about it! LOL!
Thank you for your help. I think there is a shop near me. I will have to go on a little shopping trip.
A friend of mine asked me to make some "Elmo" pants for her son's 2nd birthday and this is what I came up with. I made the Elmo's out of some really cool fuzzy red material that totally sheds all over the place when cut. Haha. It makes for a very cool looking Elmo though. To make the pants kinda funky and different, I made a big Elmo and appliqued it to the "butt" of the pants...:lmao: There is also a smaller Elmo on the right leg in front. My friend loved them but not as much as her son did...hahaha.

Here is her little guy and yes, she gave me permission to share his pictures!!

How cute are those??
Also I hate to ask for prayers too but George had a blockage in his fake colon over the past few days. Well the blockage seems to have passed but he is still in pain and something isn't right. He is worried it is either pouchitis or his colon ( or lack there of) is kinked. If it is kinked I fear he might need surgery again.
Prayers for George.

what do you think??

please help

all of these insecurities are preventing me from finishing the dress!!!


Linnette

I like the ruffles and the eyelet. The pink fabric is really pretty. I can't offer much help other than that as I am not good with colors either!:confused3 The dress is really busy no matter what fabrics that are used.

Doesn't it remind you of on Friends when Joey had the turkey on his head?! hahaha

DSCF1369.jpg

DSCF1370.jpg


AND.... just because I CAN NOT wait to share when its completely done. I am gonna add rainbow to the bottom, and make the rainbow belt. Oh yeah and gather the skirt part. hahaha :lmao: Did I ever tell you how much I hate to gather!?! Im gonna make her a peasant shirt in green to go under today.
DSCF1374.jpg
 
Beth : those Elmo jeans are too, too cute DO YOU MIND SHARING HOW YOU DID IT? BTW : I pray daily for you and your son!!:hug:

OK: I NEED ADVISE!!!!

I am not a color kind of person ...as a matter of fact you come to my closet and will only find black and maybe one or two pieces (shirts) white

so to me it is really hard to find a balance and coordinate colors, I am working on this feliz and have not finished it because I do not know if is OK
first I do not know if the ruffles in the back work together or look too busy
(of course my husband says it does not work!!!!:mad: :sad2: ) and I ran out of the fabric I used for the inner dress so I am debating whether to use a premade ruffle or use the top fabric for the ruffle

here is the dress with the eyelet ruffle it is about 2" width

Linnette
Hi Linnette....awww you are such a sweetie. Thank you so much for the prayers for my son! I truly appreciate them!!!!! I really do!!!

OF COURSE I will share with you how I did the Elmo......!!!! I figured Elmo is only made of of circles and ovals so how hard could it be??? I just looked at a picture and free-handed it. First I cut out a piece of the red fuzzy stuff for the face...then I cut out white circles and smaller black circles (again I just eyed it..LOL...i was in a hurry). Anyway then I just did a tight zigzag stitch (or is it called a satin stitch???) around the black circles onto the whiite circle eyes (using stabilizer of course). Then I just stitched the red fuzzy part on the "easy fit pants" I made using CarlaC's pattern. Since the red was so furry, I just used a straight stitch and stitched around the edge, then I fluffed up the furry part and you couldn't even see my stitches. Then I attached the eyes and the orange nose using the tight zigzag stitch again. I just had to kinda flatten out the red fur where I wanted the eyes and the nose. Ohh I almost forgot the mouth...I just cut out a black piece for the mouth and did a straight stitch again seeing as though the fur covered most of the edges. LOL.......hahahaha.....sorry not very technical. Haha. I have to say I was pretty excited how they turned out, and it was so easy!!!!!
Thanks again for your sweet comments on them!!!

Oh and Linnette....I LOVE THIS NEW DRESS you are making!!!! I think you picked PERFECT fabrics and I vote for the eyelet too!!! You never cease to amaze me with your outfits.

thank you. I actually convinced him to leave early and go to the ER. I called the specialist and they can't see hime for 3 weeks so they said go to the er:headache:

The fact he left work early to do this is huge!!!!! He says it is over kill but if he is doing it it must be worse then he lets on.

I saw a full grown woman dressed in an outfit shockingly similar to this one yesterday, complete with black tights with embelishment up the sides. I wonder if her father dressed her :rotfl: :rotfl: ?

and I wanted to share a pic of Rylie!!! I thought she looked so cute!

Your daughter is just adorable! And I absolutely love this outfit!
I just love this so much that I wanted to share. I didn't make it - I bought it on Ebay.

th_DSC_6602.jpg
This outfit is amazing (and I'm not the biggest fan of Alice). Your daughter is so beautiful - I always love the outfits you have for her and plan to CAB some of them for my little one for Disney (If you don't mind that is!)
OK: I NEED ADVISE!!!!

Linnette I love the dress! It looks so good with the Hawaiian print, but not overly Hawaiian if you know what I mean. I love the ruffles in the back and I would use the eyelet ruffle on the bottom and on the straps. Good luck!!

These are not great pics of him. He was "in a hurry" like he is most days anymore. He has some of the prettiest blue eyes. Worst thing about blue eyes is the "red eye" in pictures.
I am young enough to say (although I don't know if a mom wants to hear it this way) that your son is a hottie. :goodvibes And with the redeye - I have really large hazel eyes and because of the size I always have redeye!!
 
Yes, I did. I think our girls are about the same age. Lilly was born on 7/2. She is an easy baby. Sleeps a ton! She sleeps about 13 hours straight at night wakes up around 8:30am and then is down for another nap by 10-10:30. Today she slept from around 10:00-3:30! It's great but makes it hard since I can't run any errands. But I know I shouldn't complain :rotfl2: ! I have been a bad Mommy and haven't made her any clothes since we went to Disney in September. My older two have gotten things but I keep putting her in their old things, poor baby! I am going to make them Easter dresses (that's the plan anyway - we'll see what gets done!) and she'll get one of those so she can match too.

Yep - my little one was born on July 19. She's pretty easy, but incredibly stubborn (my DH likes to say she is just like her momma!:rolleyes1 ). She has random sleep patterns. She slept all night from about 8-12 weeks and then goes some weeks where she wakes up and some where she doesn't. She is back to sleeping all night after a time where she was waking up due to her first tooth!! I am hoping to get more things made now that she is sleeping well and can sit and play by herself for a little while. They grow up way too fast though!!
 
Hey all. Got the Hancock's Fabric email today. Does anyone own the Juno Serger by Janome (model 3434-d)?? Hancock's has it for $179 which is almost half off!! I have never used a serger - really don't know much about then except that they make nice clean edges on clothes. I don't want to settle for anything, but I also don't want to spend a ton of money. I'd like to sell my clothes someday and want them to look more professional.

Thanks so much!!

Believe it or not, they are required to wear a sportcoat and tie to the dances and the sports awards. Anyway, Ben and I went to the local good will store and found this beauty. It is a wide whale cordory that is a dark yellow. It has wooden buttons. TONS of them. The tie is seriously hideous, and about 6-7 inches wide at the bottom. Anyway, this is what he wore. He was the big hit with all of his buddies. He said most of the male chaperones came up and said, "The sad thing is, I had a suit like that." I paid a whopping 12 dollars for it. His headmaster said to Ben, "Well that may be the best way anyone has pushed the dress code in a long long time. I can't argue with a 3 piece suit!"

This green linen sportcoat was 3 bucks. I'm sure this will be well used in many St.Pattys celebrations in his future as well. It has nasty huge white buttons. And yes, that striped shirt is supposed to make it even louder. It's a Brooks Brothers shirt. Amazing what happens to good clothes when paired with bad coats!

These are not great pics of him. He was "in a hurry" like he is most days anymore. He has some of the prettiest blue eyes. Worst thing about blue eyes is the "red eye" in pictures.

LOL!! Only he could make that suit look good. ;) What was the shamock green coat for?

AG is getting so big! Her park outfit is hilarious! Emily has come up with some interesting outfits too.
 
Wow cute son you got there. :rolleyes1 I love the suits. The green one is my fav I think.
I was wondering what the girls wore!

Us poor middle children are always the neglected ones! So sad...:sad2:

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
I am middle child too, so I feel your pain.:lmao:

Kelly-I forgot to quote your dress. It is beautiful. I love the rainbow. It really adds that something extra to it. Great job. Georgia is going to be so pretty in it. And she is so silly. That is something that I would expect Jenna to do.
 
I signed up for my first big give thinking I can at least make some iron-ons for the big brother...So I got some designs for him and go to do the shirts. This is my first time doing dark shirt iron-ons and only my 2nd time to do iron-ons period so I read through the directions again & start ironing on Darth Vader. Well, the force was not with me--I kept thinking it doesn't look like it's sticking to the shirt, so I pressed a little harder...You know, it might have worked better if I had peeled the backing off!!!:rolleyes1 So I have a nice Darth Vader picture melted into the paper! :rotfl:

I did get his Sea World shirt done though. I hope it's ok to post it here:

OK--I don't know why it still shows up as sideways, I just give up! I need a nap. Now it shows up the right way, but who knows it may be upside down in a few minutes the way my day is going!
 
These are for Teresa Joy and so my Jackson dosen't think I have forgotten him. They like to hunt...sorry if too much hunting pics, it's what I could find:)
