Sorry I haven't been posting much lately, but there have been a few things going on lately in RL, I tend to keep things to myself, but since things are calming down a bit, I thought I would share my latest project.
Here is Leighanna's Easter dress made using the new Precious Dress pattern. I made a few additions, but the basic construction is the same.
Oh, if you haven't checked my Blog in a while, this might be a good time to! Just sayin'!

Well, here are two things I have dont recently, but no model! First is just a cute little capri set. I actually made one for both of my girls, but here is a pic of Rylie's:

Next is my newest hair accessories! Sydni has stopped wanting to wear so many hairbows, so I had to start making these:

Did you fix this yet? I am a little behind. Sometimes a tiny thread can get caught in the bobbin case or any of that bobbin area stuff and cause this. People call em thread nests. I had problems with this on my embroidery machine, and it turned out to be this TINY thread stuck in the bobbin case in one of the little metal cranies. The bobbin case had to be completely taken apart to find it... little tiny screws and everything. my dealer did it. I would have been scared to unscrew too much on my own!

It's not nesting as bad under there, but I had to take the top tension all the way down to 0 to get it to sew right. I just had it completely serviced & he fixed the tensions & everything, so I don't know what the deal is. Is the tension supposed to be that low????

cute outfit. Are the headband directions in the book marks, or is that on YCMT website? I would love to try to make some.

First, I love the 1900 Park Fare outfit! Great job! There are some directions on YCMT, but I have been using some free directions I found online. The owner of Hair-Hardware.com(I think?) has free directions and a video on you tube! Just search free woven headband instructions and it should pull it right up! HTH!

The fabric is by Tanya Whelan her Darla line.

Leighanna wanted to try it on with her new "heels"!
I must say, she looks quite pretty in it!

She's..... gulp.... SEVEN!

But in my eyes she will always be my little angel sent from heaven.

And, her is my version of the Precious Dress from Carla

I've been saving this fabric for this dress!!!

For some reason my camera has decided to only take rather blurry pictures lately. But, hopefully you get the idea what it looks like! I used AimeeG's tutorial (I put it in the bookmarks) to make the piping around the collar. (thanks Aimee!). And, I put ricrac around the apron. Heather has volunteered to embroider something on the apron for us too. I just need to get it over to her.

Lydia with the horse my friend just gave her:

I feel the need to mention that this is not my house, I took these at the Kingdom Hall on Sunday morning, after the meeting. (I mention this because I hate the carpet and the bottom of the wall! Plus, my house isnt this clean)

I finished this Saturday afternoon, but Lydia was dirty when I finished it, so I wouldn't let her try it on. By the time I gave her a bath it was too late for pictures at home. So, Sunday morning, I took her in her PJs to the meeting and had her get dressed in the back of the van so she woudn't get her dress wrinkled before I got pictures of it! She thought that was very odd. I thought it was perfectly reasonable!

I think it's hysteical that you made her change in the van! Of course, she couldn't wrinkle up the dress before pictures!

Love the capri set. The ric rac really sets off the bottom very well. I may have to try those headbands. AbbyGrace is beginning to refuse headbands. It's very, very sad.

I love the dress, it is so classic and the fabric is gorgeous! I remember my first pair of heels....ahhhh the memories . I just read your blog and don't worry dad she will always be your little girl, I am 31 and I am still my dad's little girl & that won't be the last time you fall off your chair in the years to come.

Hi everyone,
Since you all inspired me to start sewing, I thought I'd post now that I've finished my first item, a little sundress for DD. It looks all wonky and not quite even, but I'm excited anyway. I learned a ton, had a ton of issues with my machine, had to pull apart the bobbin casing and get loose threads out, had to re-sew due to tension being too low and I hated the bias tape the pattern called for on the armholes so much I googled and figured out how to make my own, so its been a worthwhile adventure. My next project will be a capri and top set from the same pattern envelope.
I saw some fabric last night at the fabric shop that would be perfect for a Cindy dress. There was a blue satin with sparkly stars and a matching sheer (organza, maybe?) with the stars that would be great for sleeves and the puffy overlay things on the skirt. Do you guys think something like a Cinderella costume would be too much for a newbie? Also, can you recommend a good pattern? I know there's a old simplcity one on ebay, but do you know of any that work better?

Thanks again so much, I love looking at your pictures and seeing what can be done, its amazing! I saw some of that heart-and-cross bones fabric last night and imagined dd in that adorbale corset dress... I'm going to end up getting way too addicted, I can tell that right now.

So cute! Glad your inspired. I find it relaxing to sew.

This is nice fabric. The dress came out nice. I love the Dick and Jane faric at the quilt stores. Guess I date myself.

I will look you up in a bit


Very cute! What pattern is that? I think that is a timeless pattern. I could see older girls in it too!
Murphy's law huh? Yours is great too!
Love smocked dresses!

Very cute!

Love this!

Nikki is tiny so she can wear a lot of the younger sizes and frankly if you really look at some of the clothes out there you can really see some of the patterns on ycmt. I know when ever we go to Justice for Nikki I always see simply sweet in most summer tops! Then Nikki fell in love with this shirt that I frankly don't like but I saw Carla's vest pattern so I showed it to her and now she wants one. Same with this hat pattern I need to still make.
though I would LOVE more Tween patterns! CARLA???????? Us Tween mommies need you!!!!!!!

Hey y'all!!
Been doing some major cleaning of the sewing room that exploded!! I have a ton of extra fabric I'm needing to part with (good stuff but I need the room for my DH's office stuff - grr). Can we post fabric for sale here or is that a no-no?

 

[revrob]

Tom inspired me to finally do something with the blog that I created several months ago. SO, here's the link

http://joyofcreating.blogspot.com/

If you blog, and you're on blogger, I'd love to link you and/or follow your blogs. Feel free to do the same if you would like.

90 days for ADR but if you are staying onsite you can make all your ADR's at the 90 day mark for the next 10 days rather than calling back each day.

I have a ticker on my siggy so I won't forget to call.

That's a great idea with the second ticker!! Thanks for responding.

I saw this beautiful dress from Mrs.Miller.

The only problem is I have never sewn, well the was that 1 time when I was 10 for 4H.
Anyway, would this be wayyyyyyyyyyy over my head for a first project. Should I just go bang my head on the wall now?
