I love all the sewing room photos!
I did have to add another bookcase to hold more fabric!:scared: But, at least I can see it all together, well, almost all of it!;) I have my scraps in the baskets for now, but I really like the clear shoe organizer idea!

I need to get to Ikea to get some of those cool rail organizers!
Here is my sewing area.

So this is what I have been up to today.

Did you know that YCMT is debuting another sister site called You Can Quilt This?
I signed up for the newsletter and downloaded this springtime runner.

This is probably the first quilted item that I have made, start to finish. It is very far from perfect, but from a distance it looks pretty good. I think I learned alot from this one as far as what not to do on my next project.

TOM! That is GORGEOUS! I was eyeing it on the wall in your sewing area pic (which is very cool, btw!). I didn't realize that there's yet another site - I'll have to check it out. You've done a great job on that runner!

I love :love: love your stash and storage! Its better than artwork I tell ya! :cool1:
 
Tom, that runner ROCKS!

And I love your stash.

My good friend's hubby loves to quilt. I'm always happy when I see creative dads! :thumbsup2
 
What's on the sewing list for today, ladies? I'm working on a peasant top/easy fit pants set. Of course, I'm out of 1/2 inch elastic, so I'm gonna have to pick that up before I can finish up the sleeves.

I made Isaac a YCMT bucket hat this morning, but I think I'm going to have to make him another one because the large is right on the verge of being too small. So I'm going to make myself a bucket hat in XL and see if it fits him better than the L. If it does, that will be on the list for this weekend. I am also making a couple of sleep sacks for my soon to be born nephew and finishing up some overalls for him and his brother. If I finish all that I'll make a fleece pac-n-play sheet for a friend who is having a baby girl on Friday.

This is so pretty, almost as lovely as your stash!


Awesome bunk beds everyone! Growing up, my sister and I shared a set that my grandpa made for us. It was so sturdy it could easily support my dad's weight and he's no small guy. My DH is about to pull them out of storage to refinish them for the boys' room at my parents' house.

I am so glad the Dis isn't gone and that I wasn't banned! I was so worried when I couldn't pull up the site! I couldn't imagine what I had done!:lmao::confused3
 

Thanks for posting this, gulf breeze! This actually looks like something I might be capable of doing!

Beautiful!!!! Love your sewing room too!

My kids & I have huge heads. The XL does fit my DD(6) but I enlarged the pattern 5% on a copier for my DD(9) & DS(8). That size (XL + 5%) does fit my adult girlfriends with small female heads.
 
Thank you, thank you everyone!!

I am overwhelmed with hairbow wonderfulness!! :love: If I can't figure it out now,.....there is no hope for me.

Also, I cut out 2 stripwork bodices to make things for 2 of my girls and got about 1/4 of the way in annnnnddd......

my machine siezes (sp?) up. Ugh!!:headache:

So I was thinking as I was handsewing it of out lovely disboutiquer sister that handsews everything. Can't remember the name,but believe you me I was thinking of you! Well, I gave that up after a few hours.

Luckily my Mom has an extra and lent it to me indefinitely! Yay for nice Mommies!! :banana::banana::banana:

Tom, lovin' that quilted runner!!

And as far as what 8 - 9 yo girls like, honestly if she's anything like mine, you'll have to ask her. She still likes to match her sisters :lovestruc but doesn't like so many frills like they do. Right now I'm making her a umm...whaddyacallit. My brain is leaving me, but it's like a tank top out of cotton calico and you wear a short sleeve shirt under it. I'm using the stripwork bodice and then attaching a "skirt" (only shirt length) with a contrast hem and straps. I'll post a pic when I finish. She also likes dresses and leggings. She likes twirl skirts too, good for runnnig and playing in. Good luck to you and your DD!!
 
I actually sewed today for my May trip with DS. All 3 applique T's are cased.

I found out what I was doing wrong with the Heat n Bond light. It helps to read AND follow the directions! I was ironing it on with the iron too hot and it wasn't sticking.

Thanks to Aimee for the Mike's eye inspiration.

I even made one for me.

Thanks to Steph & Elisa for the Spaceship Earth idea. I used the silver lame I had used on DS's Martian costume.

Now I have to start on some bowling shirts and a button down blouse for me.
 
Hello Everyone! :wave2: I missed you'll but got a little sewing done.

I know there were a few questions about the dresses I made a few pages back so I'll try and answer them. Yes, it was Carla's Simply Sweet Dress pattern that I used for both. The bottom had a double ruffle on the one. It added to the cuteness to get both fabrics in there.

I made it for a friend who took a cruise. No cruises booked right now. I am always a last minute booker though!

I wanted to link to Jake's Pre Trip Report - Dmbfan Big Give

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2034240

They leave later on this week and the mom has been so wonderful in sharing their lives with us. She posted several big give pictures and the children were so happy to receive such special things (along with the parents). So go and take a look! I so enjoyed working with this family!

There are also some adorable videos of Jake singing on You Tube she has a link to. Just be prepared to cry over his adorable-ness.
 
Welcome Back everyone!!! :cool1: So far the only thing different is the two bars at the bottom....something about tags and another one. They weren't there before were they?




While the Dis was upgrading, I posted these on my blog but I thought I would post them here too! I have a bunch of outfits planned for our Nov trip. (cough *at least 24 *cough) These are completely cased. A huge thank you :thanks:to all you dissers :disrocks:out there for all the inspiration! :thumbsup2





These are for Buzz and Toy Story:

Oh and Brook has new glasses with transition lenses! I don't know why I waited! They are the best! :banana: Have a great night everyone!

Spring AND homemade lasagna? You sure know how to rub it in, don't you? You have been busy! I love it all. Those Toy Story outfits are so cute, I bought that story book. What is that cute stripe you used with it? I want some! Just ship some out to me with the lasagna and spring weather, okay? Brook looks so cute. I should get those lenses for Seth the next time he gets a new prescription. He would love those!
