GATHERING..... humm its not to much fun! hahaha I got the ruffler foot and read the rufflier un ruffled but I hate it so I have my own technique I use a tool don't know what it is called it looks like a needle with a handle I bought it to punch holes in paper but now use it to sew. Anyways I feed the fabric with it in the sewing machine I should have DH video tape me doing it for you guys. all so try stitching a straight stitch about 1/2 inch then pulling the string out then zigzag over it then pull that string. Am I making since?

Gathering issues...
So this is my problem, when i do my gathering with the basting stitch method, my thread almost ways breaks. What am I doing wrong or should I give up on this and try a different method?

I say give up and use the dental floss method! It is my most favorite!

Super cute! I love the play kitchen too! I am bit play kitchen obsessed!

Minnie2 - Love the simply sweets! What size did you end up making Nikki? I made a few and they weren't as tight as I would have liked for a nice summer dress without a shirt.

karebear1 - oh queenie! how is SCAL coming along?

I have the brother CS~6000 or whatever it is called. Has anyone found a ruffle foot that will work with this machine? i have tried the gather method, but i dont like how uneven they turn out.
Thanks =)

I contacted Brother when I had my CS6000i. They said they don't make a ruffler compatible with the machine.

Okay, DD4 wants a little mermaid costume for our next wdw trip. I don't really like the ones Disney or BuyCostumes.com have right now so I have ordered some great fabric that I think will be perfect.

I already know how I want to do the top, and I have looked over the design sheets for a couple of the patterns out there, but, as you guys are the experts does anyone have any experience making a tail that looked really good? Right now my plan is to make a 6-paneled skirt out of the nile green taffeta and then make insets out of the nile green chiffon. Comments?

So cute, love the little jacket you found and improved, too.

Any ideas on where to find elmo fabric then?? Joann's doesn't have hardly anything, or if they do, it's flannel (which won't work for May). =(

I think I have seen Elmo at Walmart before.
If you are willing to buy online, try searching fabric.com.

Cute... But I have no idea what I would do with it.

Found it here if you have a better imagination than I do

Sorry the image is soo big. I was looking for a different Mickey fabric and found this. Thought I would share.
Now back to looking

My son picked out the fabric, so I was not really thrilled with it, but made these shirts with it. Not the best pic of customs, but you get the idea.

That is adorable! I love the picture with your little girl laughing!

I finally took the time to upload a few pics from our cruise in January. I had mostly matching outfits all the days for all 3 kids, but didn't get good pics each day because the kids were in swimsuits a lot of the time, but here's a few anyway.
Cozumel Dolphin Discovery. It was Verrrrry windy that day.

I made this one. It came out great, I think anyway .

I modified the top and made the tail as instructed. I am glad you asked, because this was for halloween and I wasn't around here then so I have never been able to share:

Please ignore the junk in the background! I don't know how elaborate you wanted the tail to be but this one worked out nice because she was able to carry it on her wrist.

Oh, and I don't know why she insisted on Cinderella shoes but that's what she wanted to wear .

That is so cute. I love thrift shops. I got a really cute Mickey shirt there once that is a bowling shirt that I made into a skirt for Georgia. I love how it is all matchy matchy!

I'm very excited. Megan turns 3 next month and is still not potty trained- she showed interest at 18 months, but I didn't pursue it and then it faded. I have tried a few different things- a doll that wets and has a potty, encouraging her to sit on the little potty we bought,books, videos, talking about it, etc.

Well Monday night I had done some ironing after she went to bed and i didnt want to wake her so I went in and layed her dresses across her rocking horse.
Yesterday morning I asked her to come to her room to get dressed (after breakfast) and she didn't want the jeans I had pulled out- she wanted to wear one of the dresses, which gave me an idea. I said okay and pulled out a pair of new Tink underwear and explained (as I have before) that she has to use the potty when she wears underwear. As a further incentive...Megan is not normally allowed chocolate because she reacts badly, but I figured an M&M would be okay so I got out a little bag I had and told her she could have a special treat if she used the potty. Well- THAT got her interested!
She must have sat on the potty 6 times in an hour and finally had success!!!!!!
She used the potty two more times yesterday with one small accident at 6pm (I was on the phone with my brother)
I can't believe my baby is growing up!!!!

Now today I have to go to the quilt shop to get some fabric...guess I will use a pull up for the trip out and come directly home.
Im so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With any luck she will be fully trained by the time this baby is born.

I'll do the happy dance with you! My DD will be 3 next month and she is so stubborn, I didn't think I would ever get her trained. Well the drive to Disney world, we did a 15hr drive the first day. She stayed dry the whole time and used the potty every time we stopped. So I decided to train her next wk during our spring break. Well last wk we had AWESOME weather, in the 80's. She ran out of pull ups and so I put her in panties! Thursday will be a wk in panties. We have Good days and a couple of days that there are accidents, but she is officailly in panties now! She even went to school today and came home in the same outfit! I'm so excited!

So congrats to your little girl growing up!
