[jham]

Hey I finally got photobucket to work! Lily wanted to wear her shamrocks like Megan today! It was kinda warmish and spring-fevery here today! (I know, I like to use pretend words)

 

[lynnanddbyz]

I am soooo jealous. All I have are stinky boys so I don't get to make the beautiful dresses and twirlies that you ladies are making. I do get to play with other things though. I am going to try to post some pics so I hope this works.
The is a group shot.

This one is my Elvis Purse.

I love the stuff posted today. I have not been feeling well, so I ended up going to the dr to make sure I don't have strep, and they wouldn't even test me... UGH... I really dis like the health center here in Town. They said if it still hurts in three more days to come back. I don't see what the point would be of just doing it then, specially since someone can be two miles away and I will get it bad. But nooooooooo I have to wait! So I went to the fabric store got my fabric. That was hard! That Dr. Seuss shirt was an odd color. But I will make it work darn it. Its all in the wash right so Iwill show ya when its done. I am gonna work on it when it gets out.

Georgia said she was missing Disneyland soo much she wanted to watch her Disneyland dvd of the 50th Anniversary and Christmas time. Those are the best things I have ever bought! hahaha I still get teary when I watch the fireworks one. hehe

absolutely DARLING! The dress is cute too!



seriously...Lily is just the most scrumptious little cupcake of a child. She looks FAB in shamrocks!!!

PS-totally JEALOUS of the warm weather...it's single digits here...with negative wind chill. I'm pretty much GREEN with envy...great...I'm all set for St. Paddy's day. *SIGH*

Julia looks adorable!! Did you use felt or fabric? That looks GREAT!! you amaze me how much you are sewing all different kinds of stuff lately!!!

Thanks Wendy! I hope you had a great time on your trip!! I used fabric. I ironed on some fuse fabric on the back of the hat pieces, pinned them on and fused the back side of the fabric. Then off I went stitching around the hat pieces I cut out and pinned on. I have no idea if that is how you are supposed to do it but it worked for me! I figured I would give it a shot! Then my daughter gets home from school with a note saying that they are going to celebrate the Suess stuff on Thursday . All of that work for nothing . Oh, well, it was fun!

The shamrock dress is GREAT!! I love it with the polka dots! Too Cute!!! and those mountains are to die for!!!! Where are you located? I need to retire there someday so I can walk out my door and look at that beautiful view everyday!!!!!! Stunning!! I am so jealous!

Use the URL code and cut and paste it in your post. There are 4 code options, URL is the bottom one.

Those are so cute. Some girls made those and scarves to sell at soccer games and they were a big hit. Hope you are warmer now!

Crystal, I just have to say whenever Lily sees a post from you she screams "I wanna see teacups! I wanna see teacups!" It took me the longest time to realize she is referring to Jenna's picture in your siggy!

LOL! Megan says the same thing, except in six year old language! That is still their favorite ride!

Get that girl a fairy costume stat! They have a pattern for the Disney fairies, I bought it when they were 99 cents but I haven't used it. If you need the number, let me know. Someone here made it (Elisa or Cindee maybe?) and said it wasn't easy I believe.

Megan said, it's my Lily friend! The blonde Lily friend!

She looks so cute, are those buttons functional? I still am a little askeered of pillowcase style dresses: I need more supervision I think.

Thanks for all your comments on Megan's dress. My to-do pile is bigger than my completed pile lately so it felt good to get something done and she was happy with it.

Are you kidding??? You make such amazing things and you are scared of pillowcase dresses? Even I can make pillowcase dresses ( In fairness, our pal Jham taught me how!). The buttons are not functional btw.

I just had to say wow that is any AWESOME view! love the shamrocks too!

I have a whole bunch of photos to share!!!

First, this is my DD14's first attempt at applique. She did great!

Two pairs of Pj's I made for my son for our upcoming Disneyland trip. I HATE the quality of the fabric with Cars and Buzz Lightyear on. I bought it from ebay and it turned out to be c****y quality but I wanted to use it. It is ok for pjs.

A pirate Mickey outfit for Andrew. On the back it says Mickey's first mate. The front is a Pirate head Mickey.

I made a top for my DD out of that great gathered fabric you can buy. We added some straps and, 20 minutes later, a shirt!

My first ever Crayon Roll Ups. These are for a Big Give.

Three piece set for Jake's Big Give. It is a T shirt with a pirate Mickey, shorts and a vest.

This is for Hannah, Jake's sister, for their Big Give. I hope she likes it.

Everything turned out cute! I love your outfits for the Big Give! I also bought that Buzz fabric and the quality is horrible. I think I'm going to trash it. And I hate wasting money.

Wendy- Hope you are having a safe trip home. I Love the pictures you posted! You and your husband look so happy and it is just beautiful there. I especially love the ICE covering everything!!! What a nice trip to take on a weekend. Oh, and my package came in the mail yesterday! Thank you sooo much!

Okay, here is one of my latest.....I don't know why I thought I had some time before the Dr. Seuss birthday . My fabric that I ordered hasn't come yet anyway so I did not make anything. We had a snow day yesterday and last night I look in my daughter's bookbag and there was a note saying that they were going to celebrate on Monday (which would be today because of the snow day). So, I had to whip something up.....

Time to teach myself how to applique! I had no idea what I was doing, I had never done this before and it was my only option......here is what I came up with:

She looks mad, but she's not. She is just posing. It's her model attitude!

So, it didn't turn out too bad for a first try. I have no idea if I did it correctly but whatever I did, it seemed to work for me! I made this in about an hour before I went to bed.

Fantastic job on your first applique! You did a great job!

What a little cutie, but I have to admit I much prefer her smiling! I think you did a perfect job on that appliqué!

Well it's March finally so Megan wanted to wear her shamrock dress today. Too bad it's so cold (well cold for us anyway!). She loves the pocket and was already stuffing things in it to play with on the bus.

Love the St. Patty's day dress! Megan looks cute!

My sons' hockey association is hosting a big tournament and are looking for donations for the raffle table, so I decided I would make up some fleece hats and scarves in red and white (the colours of our assoc.)

I got them cut last night and one of them put together. My DS11 walks by, puts it on and then tells me he is not taking it off. Now DS7 wants one too. I should have known better, now I have to cut out 2 more. I did not get the scarves done yet but my boys never wear a scarf, so I am hoping they will not like them.

Here are a couple of pics from this morning. I took them outside so you guys can see what a real amount of snow looks like.







And just cause I can't leave Ty out.



All bundled up cause it was -28 celcius this morning. That is about -19 for the americans.

That is way more snow than I ever want to even think about! And that temperature is awful! I probably wouldn't leave my house all winter! It was 68 degrees here today!

Well, I did it! I went off the deep end today! I've been drooling over a Baby Lock serger. I LOVE the jet air threading. I went to a demonstration this morning, and ran out of the store as soon as the demo was over because I knew that if I didn't I'd walk out of there with a new serger. I cam home, ate lunch, took a nap, and wok up really, really wanting that serger. SO, I went and got it! I'm the proud owner of a new Baby Lock Imagine serger. It stitches perfect. Every time! I'm absolutely amazed at this machine.

Since I purchased today, I got a bunch of extra goodies with the machine. I got a trolley bag, a workbook and a set of specialty feet. They were out of the feet, but I'll get them for free when they come back in to the store. I can't wait to get to work on this machine and show you girls what it will do. Did I mention it's amazing?

I have the Imagine Wave and it's an awesome machine. I absolutely love it and the jet air threading is wonderful. If you don't get the ruffling foot with your set of feet then be sure and buy it. It ruffles the bottom layer of material and attaches it to the top layer all at once. That is what sold me on the machine. You will love this machine.

Pretend words are my favorite along with pictures of Lily with gorgeous mountains in the background!

I LOVE the dress! I have that green dot and it keeps screaming at me to make something St Patty's with it but I just don't have anyone to make something for. And the shamrock fabric is perfect!

I am soooo jealous. All I have are stinky boys so I don't get to make the beautiful dresses and twirlies that you ladies are making. I do get to play with other things though. I am going to try to post some pics so I hope this works.

I made my first dresses the other day and they were so much fun! I want to make more! I'll post pictures of them in a few weeks.

Obviously I can't get the hang of this. Would someone please PM me what I am doing wrong. So Sorry.
Lynn

If you want the picture to show up here click the entire IMG part. I think it is the 3rd one down.

Are you kidding??? You make such amazing things and you are scared of pillowcase dresses? Even I can make pillowcase dresses ( In fairness, our pal Jham taught me how!). The buttons are not functional btw.

I gotta get some lessons. Are they shirred or is there a casing? I can't shir (atleast through 3 layers) but I think I could do it the other way!

Steph I loved Megan's dress too! I've been reading but had so much to do I didn't quote for a few days!

There have been so many cute things posted! The twirl skirt, cat and the hat outfits and more!

 

[NaeNae]

If you dont mind me asking were did you get it from I am thinking about getting a new one and I will have to travel were ever I get it from.

I live in Oklahoma City and I have a local dealer. I have an Imagine Wave, pm me if you have any questions.

Awww look at how cute she looks in her new outfit. So stinkin' cute!!

All these St. Paddy's Day outfits would be making a fortune out here in Boston! Big Parade is Sunday and the parties will continue for the next week and a half!

Well...get busy then girl...you can make 'um!!!

Hope you are feeling better soon. Aww I am sure whatever you make to match your Dr. Seuss shirt will be adorable. So did your new friend go fabric shopping with ya??

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

I gotta get some lessons. Are they shirred or is there a casing? I can't shir (atleast through 3 layers) but I think I could do it the other way!

It's just elastic casing. You can SOOOO do it. It's super easy. And again, that's coming from me. It takes me ages to do anything!

Well...get busy then girl...you can make 'um!!!

I meant that for the EXPERIENCED sewers! I made Aisling a top for the parade (and for when the leprechaun comes to day care) but that's it for me! She wants a twirl skirt to go with it. I have to remind her we got 15 inches of snow yesterday. She's not wearing a twirl skirt for a parade!!!

You know what? I am a skeered of em too. I made one last year and it turned out horrible. It didn't turn out right at all. I am actually a bit jealous of the ones that you and Jham have made. They look so cute, but I don't want to waste fabric in case it comes out wrong again.
