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

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

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.

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!

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.![]()

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.

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.
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 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.

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

Well...get busy then girl...you can make 'um!!!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!
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??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.
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!
Well...get busy then girl...you can make 'um!!!![]()
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.Are you kidding???
