Great group of Vidas. I really like the cross idea. Lovely thought. I am about 40 pages behind on the last thread, but figured I'd catch up here first. I know it's early, but Happy Easter to everyone!

I don't have a code right now.... You can google for a code.

If you have a store local to you- you can call and see if they have the suits in stock.

I am slow to answer about the stroller bags. But I saw Cindee's in person and it was awesome! I took some close up photos so I could make one (someday). I keep thinking that at 6 we can ditch the stroller. The only place we use it is disney but Dallas sleeps in it every day!

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I didn't get to finish Georgia's Easter dress her dad was here early to pick her up, and I am watching my room mates daughter and spent so much time correcting her behaviors this morning. Im so upset about it! OH well... Im gonna finish it, I asked him if he would meet me somewhere tomorrow so she can have it.

and my darn needle broke on me again! Ok back to sewing... Vent over

I am so sorry you didn't get the dress done but it sounds like you have a good plan to get it to her. I hope the ex will meet with you and Georgia can get the beautiful dress. Girl, you have so much on your plate to watch another child with behavior issues. You must be a saint Don't overextend yourself and prayers for you.

Thank you for the kind words, but don't be too quick to think 6 is stoller ditch age LOL. Morgan is 8 and still likes her stroller at Epcot LOL.

Hey everyone!
We had an easter egg hunt at the house today with some friends and their kids. Everyone had a great time. Dh gave all the kids a ride on the trailer pulled by the the four wheeler. I think that was their favorite part.

I also finished some AK outfits. So here they are...

 

[jessesgirl]

Can't wait to see what you come up with! And may I say, you are my hero for doing WDW in JULY...pregnant!!!

LOL thank you so much ! I need to get busy making stuff for the trip I think I am on creative overload I have so much I want to make that I dont know what I should make LOL.. I need to come up with something for Animal Kingdom and narrow down the other 30 ideas I have to just 3 or 4 ..

 

[jessesgirl]

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! It is taking forever to quote anyone so I am just doing it here . LOL As soon as I figure out how to post pictures I will post a few things that I have made in the past. ")

Thanks for the practice!

Great job! If eveytime you go on photoshop is like the first time you are doing great for your first time!

Wow - I finally made it here... on page 15!

Does anyone know if this fabric comes in yellow?

I think I saw some today at JoAnns. If you need some, let me know and I'll stop back by there.

Ok, I am starting on the charmy euro skirt from you can make this. I need two charm packs for the skirt, now here is the stupid question, would you guys wash your charm packs first, I just hate the idea of washing and ironing 66 pieces of fabric. Thanks !!

I was one that ALWAYS washed my fabrics before using them. Then when the charm squares and jelly rolls came out I asked my local quilt shop about washing (afraid I'd lose too much fabric and didn't want to iron all those squares.) - they said that with the "quilt shop quality" fabrics you really don't need to wash them first. Now I don't wash my quilt fabrics if I'm only using stuff from the major lines (Moda, Free Spirit, etc.) but I wash any yardage I'm using for clothing.

For those that still have fabric departments in WalMart... I'm on the lookout for some flannel like the Minnie Dot we all love so much... either with a red or pink background. I would be sooooo appreciative if anyone could help me out!

I am so glad I have stroller supporters on here! I really enjoy having it with us and I do think it will get to the point where I can bring it less and less. We leave it parked alot at some of the parks (NOT epcot though!).

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh EXCITING STUFF..... We booked our accommodation yesterday - its all real now. We ARE going to Disneyland. I had this moment when I was on hold to Hojo's and they had some disney music and I almost cried. After I got off the phone I did a little excited dance and I had the girls dancing around with me yelling "woohoo we are going to disneyland " well Em just yelled woohoo but danced all the same So....if I'm good I should be starting to make some outfits for the trip.



I missed the move as been busy sewing pettiskirts. Will take some pictures later as just finished them last night.

Since I have DH home for a day or two over the easter break I might do some sewing for my girls. I'm thinking Easy fit pants and maybe a portrait peasant top. And if I'm really motivated I might sew up some merino raglan tops since it's coming into winter now and we are really noticing the chill factor.


Now time to catch up and see what all you lovely ladies have been up to.

Hurray, hurray, hurray ! It's so exciting to book a trip!

Ooh, Flonase is helping with his environemental allergies? May I ask what specifically he is allergic too?

His primary allergies are pollen, weeds, and grasses. So we battle it most hard core in the summer, but we still have to give him the Flonase in the winter or those darn allergies act up and he is very prone to asthma attacks.

It's not easy, but there are a few things we do that helps. If your making a seam, you can using seam binding to cover it, then the foot doesn't drag on the plastic. The other thing is to put a sheet of tissue paper between the foot and the plastic. I think you can use a walking foot, but it leaves marks on the plastic.

Hope this helps.

I think I'll give it a try. The plastic is on clearance for $3 a yard right now and I think next week Joanns is putting all their red-tag stuff 50% off. I figure at $1.50 a yard, If I don't like the way it's turning out, I'll trash it! Thanks for the help everyone!

Let me know if you can't get it. I work at Gymboree and would be glad to check and see if my store has them. I work tomorrow for new line so i will check back before then.

Hey Guys! I wanted to update everyone and let you know that Becca is still in the hospital recovering from brain surgery. She is on day 60 something now. Seems like it has been forever!

I would love it if we could start another round of cards or pictures the kids drew for her. I bet it would really lift her spirits!

And Jakob's Mom - Dmbfan - has started her trip report. She has posted a ton of cute pictures of Jakob and Hannah! Go check them all out! Sounds like they had a great trip!

Mandy has said that it is best to send things directly to the Ronald McDonald house, rather than the hospital. It is easier for the hospital to lose things. So, if anyone has the Ronald McDonald House address, they are at the same place.


It's too late to quote everyone, but there were some really cute things posted today!!! And, welcome to the newbies!!!

Someone asked about making the pictures into thumbnails. If you go back to the first post of this thread, there are directions.

And someone asked about Carla's PRECIOUS DRESS. It is SO easy to put together!!! You can absolutely do it!!! Carla explains everything and always shows you the easiest way to do things!!! This pattern is SOOOO much better than any commercial pattern out there! Give it a try, you won't be sorry.

Awww = that is so sweet of you!!! I see that I can get them for 16.99 online and someone else gave me a 20% off coupon - do you think I should check my store? Would it be any cheaper there? Im really hoping the rash guard top will be long enough to cover the girls tummies -at the beach they are always bending over and playing in the sand - I want them to stay covered - do you think these will fit the bill????

Thanks a Million!!

Ok I am making a pleated pageant skirt for someone and I am having the darndest time figuring out how to put this waist band on and the pattern did not come with instructions just the pattern pieces(I bought it online it is a pageant wardrobe pattern set) Can anyone offer any tips? Tutorials? I have to have this thing done this week so the little girl will get it on time to wear in her pageant.

 

[Flea]

Ok here are the pettiskirts I sewed this week. They actually came together really quickly but I just had limited sewing time due to sick kids and having to run around for mum (who hurt her ankle so needed a chauffeur ) I actually took photos as I was making them too so hopefully will be able to finish off my tutorial shortly

Testing the twirl factor

Ruffles ruffles everywhere

mmmmmm catfood (she was actually giving it to the cat and not eating it - for once)

oh and this one just because Izzy has the scariest eyes - but it still makes me laugh (mean mummy)

Tonight I've sewn 2 pairs of pants - they just need elastic in them but I forgot to measure the girls before bedtime so I'll do so in the morning. I've also finished off a couple of tutus so feeling like i've had a productive week
