You all do such beautiful work!! I have material for 6 dresses (3 for each dd) waiting to be cut and sewn but instead I am reading through this long thread!!

I'm an sure that this has been asked and answered before - but I haven't found it yet! For all of the awesome applique's that I have seen - do you buy/download patterns and designs or do you trace/sketch the designs yourself? I would love to try some (simple to start!!) Thanks!!!

hi all! Just a drive by to share my Big Give outfit. This is my Sleeping Beauty inspired outfit for a 9 1/2yo...Katie approved and has requested her own now!

Okay, here is te practice run of Kaitlyn's Easter dress. I wanted to try the pattern on some less expensive fabric before I made her dress with the fabric that I chose for her Easter dress. this is the "Ms Lily" from YCMT.com. It was fairly easy to put together and the instructions were easy to follow. Please excuse the ravioli face, I finished it while she was eating her lunch and she is still wearing it as I type this. I think we have found a winner!!!! she really loves the poofyness of the skirt and how it looks when she spins!!

This is what I have been working on so far. My daughter saw the Taylor Swift Romeo and Juliet song video and she told me she wanted her gold Juliet dress. Well she pretty much yelled and screamed "Oh, mommy I want that dress!!! I have to have that dress!!!" So, this is my version so far. We did a fitting today (LOL!) and this is the only picture that came out decent. When I finish it completely I will get some better pics up for you.

GORGEOUS, I love it!

First off that dress is amazing...and 2nd...I guess I haven't learned my lesson not to be on here when my daughter is within 5 feet...She instantly said "Mommy I want that dress" (of course you do) & "Oh my Gosh, that girl is a beautiful princess".

I am far far away from that kind of sewing...heck I have had a brand new Brother CS 6000i sitting in my newly converted sewing room for ummmm 2 weeks and I am afraid to use it!!!

Don't be, it's so easy! This is the first machine I've ever used (did all my sewing by hand until about a week ago) and I already feel like I've gotten the hang of it.

It really irks me when things like this happen. I used to sell on ebay all the time and now so many sellers have made it bad IMO. I have bought maybe 5 things in the past year (minus some fabric I bought recently) but had issues with 2-3 of them.

For as much I have used paypal I really haven't had that much trouble but it really is irritating. I have easily done over 10,000 transactions. When I am thinking I empty my account and pay with a credit card. It way easier to deal with a cc then paypal. Of course I am usually too lazy (like today) to go empty it before paying.

Ugh, I've been having rotten luck selling on ebay lately as well. I hate that you can no longer leave negative feedback for buyers, I feel like it makes them think they're allowed to act however they like and get away with it. I had someone not pay me for almost two weeks, despite my numerous emails/invoices to her, and then, the second she paid, she emailed me at least once a day demanding to know when her item had arrived. That was the last time I sold anything, because that kind of stress isn't worth it to me. I have, however, had fabulous luck selling on a Gymboree site that I'm on.

Wow! Beautiful dress! Great job!

The day is over I have made two pairs of Easy Fit Pants and my house isn't clean... Oh well. I still feel like I accomplished something
DS is sleeping in his new PJ pants so I don't have a pic to share.
But I just finished DDs pants and can share those... sorry no model, its sleepy time.

So I need a top to coordinate, right
I have enough of the fabric to embellish a shirt somehow... but what exactly to do is escaping me. My applique skills aren't good, but I was looking at some cherries over at SWAK so maybe that's an option.
Ideas anyone....

Super cute, love that fabric! I've seen some pre-made cherry appliques that iron on at Joann's that would be nice with that.

So, it was my mom's birthday on the 21st, but she was in Florida for the month, so I am just now getting to her birthday present. I really wanted to make her a housecoat in this particular fleece she saw at the fabric store, but I have not been able to find it anywhere since the day she pointed it out to me in like November. Then I thought I would make her an apron or 2 since she loves aprons, but I never could find material that I wanted to do that with. So, when I was visiting her in Florida she was complaining about her purse.... Thus I decided to make her 2 new purses.





Long story just to show you a couple of pics. I just somehow feel that I am settling in what I am giving her. I really hope she likes them.

They both look great, I bet she loves them!

Oooh, cute, love how you did the skirt to look like her dress! Very unique!

That looks cute, and if your dd likes it then you can't ask for much more.

Very cute. I like the froggy material. Can;t wait to see your fabric choice for the easter one.

All very nice bows. Too bad my boys don't have enough hair for them.

 

[JaimeK]

Boys need cute things too right?

I've been working on a ton of shorts for my sons for our trip at the end of the month but I haven't taken pics of those yet.

I also snuck in time to make this button down. My first time making buttonholes! The pattern is from the Weekend Sewing book by Heather Ross.

I don't know where to start. What do I do with it? lol - - -

Okay all you sewing savvy Disers out there.... care to help out a fellow diser bound and determined to learn how to sew? After seeing all the adorable stuff you've all made on here, I am going to try my hand at making some cute outfits for my kids for our trip in september. I've only sewn a handful of times, and that was all on my moms machine. A friend of my husband divorced his wife and I got the sewing machine. I got it about four years ago, and just opened in yesterday. Talk about an april fools joke the leprechauns were playing on me yesterday... I searched my house high and low for the accessories, and just before bed my hubby found them - just after midnight, go figure! Anyhoo - here's what I've got. Can you tell me anything about it - and where do I start? I don't even know how to thread the darn thing, but the 60's manual is pretty detailed, so I think I can figure it out! I have no idea what these pieces are that are with it though!

Thanks everyone!!! I want to try with some simple stuff - I have been wanting to make some simple diaper bag/purses out of military gear and have been looking for an online pattern. I made a big one for myself with my mom, but we didn't use a pattern, we just winged it. I have no idea how to start with this machine. It seems to be in really good shape, no rust or anything, I just don't know what it can do. Are there any items that I am going to need to help with the learning process?

I have an old machine just like that., circa 1980's. The cream colored piece with the metal plate is to make your sewing surface bigger, instead of a free arm as pictured. The Pattern Cams go under the top lid to give you decorative stitches. The stitch is pictured on the cam if I remember right. The box with all the stuff contains the buttonhole attachment. You choose the the size and shape and insert that plate and turn the knob until the right one is pictured in the little window. The Q needle is for knits I believe. You probably need to look at the book and oil where indicated before you try and start sewing with it. If you have any other questions I'll try and help.

Where should I trim the tulle to on this skirt? half way between the layers, just above the bottom ruffle? What do you think? I am torn And yes I put her on the dinning room tab;e to take pictures. It's rainning here and when I tried to get her to try it on earlier she told me - "it's not perfect yet - I won't try it on til it's perfect!"

I would trim it right to the end of the yellow.

Very cute by the way!

That's what I was going to say. Right above the bottom ruffle. Adorable, by the way! Cute idea!

Had an ultrasound yesterday - one healthy heartbeat! This is a relief to me - now I might be able to relax and "enjoy" this pregnancy a bit, once the morning sickness goes away maybe.

Very cute and I vote for the same spot - just above the bottom ruffle.

Here is my newest creation. I had planned for DD to wear this on the last trip when we ate at the Yachtsmen but MIL told me before the trip that she would watch teh kids that night so DH could eat there alone. I never finished it and today, it was calling to me so I finished it. I love how it turned out. I think she will wear it on the fireworks cruise I am hoping to book for the next trip.

WOW! So cool! It must feel great to have it finished!

I think it looks great as a T but would make great PJ's too. I think I lost your Tink patchwork in a quote. It is beautiful! Hope you like it better now-it always takes me a few days to warm up to things that take a while to make.

That is great! I read your blog about the fabric being too um...flimsy....you should try Carla's bowling shirt. That shirt is lined so it drapes really nicely.

That is wonderful!!!

I had wicked morning sickness-especially with my 3rd. I had to keep telling myself it was a sign of a healthy baby.
