Love the piratey outfit. She is so cute!



DH came home today after being gone a week. I was soo glad to see him! We went shopping in New Orleans and saw Wolverine. Yes.. NERD ALERT!!!
Then we went to Macy's and he bought me LUSH!! Do any of you LUSH?? I am a fanatic lately. Really.. try it out.... you know you want to spend money on smell good yummy all natural stuffs.

I have Strawberry shortcake over on the Fabric swap thread!
And I LUSH. It's all I use.

I have too much fabric I placed an order for on FabricObession.com- I forget who I have to blame for that!

That would be me Enjoy your fabric!

Hi Guys,

A month or so ago I posted this itty bitty dress and the baby rag quilt - well, this picture is of the REAL THING!! Baby Julia!!! I think she is about 7 weeks old!!

My Make a Wish package is finished!! The Disney Dogs shirt for Joseph, and Disney Cats shirt for Abbigail - plus a pink bow and a pooh bow (Im not good at bows, do you think these re okay to send?)

this bow

to go with this story book twirl...

I love this quilt. The itty bitty dress is sooooooooooo cute. The baby is precious. I am going to have to make one of those dresses now. I love the winnie the pooh skirt. Grace is having a Pooh bday party next month. I might try to make her one. Thanks for the tip on the round neck top stitching. To answer your question I don't use binding. I just did a roll seam or what ever you call it. I found that when I put the round neck part on I don't stitch to close to the gathered part. When I turn it right side out I just iron it down and stitch past it. It stays down better that way. I know I am not explaining this too good. Sorry.

I'm so sorry Eyore.

Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking here ever since I found your thread a few weeks ago. I've been sewing off and on since elementary school, but never been too good at getting things to fit perfectly. You've inspired me to make some dresses for our trip at the end of the month. I made 2 so far with the tinkerbelle pre-shirred fabric and they turned out pretty well. I am currently making a pink minnie dot dress with an embroidered minnie head, out of McCalls M5838(modified a bit), but it turned out huge in the bodice and I had to add elastic to salvage it.

My daughter is six years old, about 49 inches, but still has a bit of a belly. Her measurements are:
Chest 27 3/4
Waist 26
Hips 28
But midway between the waist and hip you can measure 29 inches.

So anyway, I would love to try one of those awesome CarlaC patterns, but do any of them go up high enough in size? Most of them only seem to go up to an 8, but I don't see anything that list measurements for sizes.

Thanks in advance if you can help. Everyone's work is so wonderful!

Krista

My Grandmother passed away at 4:30am this morning. Last night before bed I made the decision that Im passed my "window" of being able to make the drive and I will be the only family member to miss her funeral. They have not set a date yet. I cleaned my kitchen in her memory this morning.

Nicole I am so sorry to hear that. to you and I am sure that your grandma knows that you will be there at her funeral in thought.

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Thanks, at this point I go from feeling fine to crying.
Im going to try and do things today that Gram would have been doing if she could have visited me- like cleaning, and sewing, Id be baking if I could- but I cant be in the kitchen for the hours it takes to make her stickybuns.

sorry I dont know how to enlarge it

Okay gals & gents I have a question.

I'm about to start making Peter Pan costumes from this pattern
http://www.butterick.com/item/B4632.htm (sorry, it's not letting me paste the actual picture). I read the directions and it's not wanting me to finish the bottom hem or the arm hems. The boys are probably going to wear these to the pet & doll parade, the renaissance faire, & Disney so I'm going to have to wash them at some point, most likely multiple times. What do you all suggest to keep the hems from looking terrible? Fray check, should I just hem them, other ideas?

I am so, so, so sorry to hear about your loss. I know you were expecting it, but that doesn't make it easier. Sorry you won't be able to go. I sadly missed my great grandmothers funeral back in 2003 (I was in college and could just not afford the $600+ dollars they wanted for me to come home for it. You just have to find other ways to grieve and say goodbye.

I am highly emotional like that lately. My harmones are all messed up because of the female problems I am having. I cry for just about anything. It is embarrassing.
People can be so rude. I hated that part of pregnancy.
Sorry about your Gram. That has got to be tough. I can't imagine how hard the ride would be on you though.


Okay, what is EDD???? I was thinking estimated delivery date??
I guess I've just never saw that acronym.
I cry for Private Practice and Grey's too. EVERY EPISODE!!! Seriously.. I never remember crying like this. My poor husband must think I am nuts.

EDD - could be Estimated Date of Delivery or Estimated Due Date. . . .I think they changed it because people felt its my due date I should go now, or shouldn't go before, and that is just an estimate. I think less than 1% of babies are born on their actual due date.

Have you checked Old Navy Maternity? Not all locations have it, but online they have it and up to XXL which they claim is a size 20.
The website lets you search for store locations with Maternity.
I bought a few things from them when I was preg with DD. Good Luck.

Thanks, I have. . . the one pair of maternity pants I have (yoga pants) are an XL pair from them, but it's like they don't have very good maternity sales. . . I want to get pants for $20. . . and they are all $32+. . . ugh.

A Halloween baby would be fun! I really wanted Nikki to be born on Halloween October has a pretty birthstone. Nikki had other ideas she was good and came 5 days early but missed Halloween. She was born 11/4.

It would be cool, except I'd be done with 42 weeks pregnant (43 weeks to be exact. . .and I would have to be induced, which I'm hoping to just go naturally), and as much as I want the baby to have enough time in there, I would like to evict it as soon as it is "done cooking"! I've not ever been preggo before, but I do know I don't want to go two whole weeks past due. . .

Just got an email she is having computer issues and the AH/MM buy (May 15) might get pushed out a bit- so plenty of time to go shop!!


Snubie-have fun! Glad you are feeling better and hope you enjoy your trip!

I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandmother. Just remember she's in a better place now. I know she would've understood why you weren't there. I didn't get to go to my Grandfathers funeral when he died. We lived in San Diego and I was pregnant with DS and the funeral was in Oklahoma. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

I am very sorry about your Grandmom and that you won't be able to be there.

Her new dress (precious) goes up to a 10, and I think some others do too. Plus with the dresses I don't think the belly will be an issue - if you do the shorter bodice, the skirt piece starts high and then you can make that as flowy as you need

Also, Carla herself posted how to increase the sizes around here once - I don't have that saved, maybe someone can post it. basically you print one size and the photocopy it at a certain % to get it to be the right size. . . hopefully someone can post that OR it may be in the bookmarks. . .

Don't talk abut poodle skirts--I'm making 10 of them for our school end-of-year program. I'm using Carla's flouncy skirt, black felt for the skirt and different colored poodles and ribbon.

Plus 9 iron-on shirts for the boys.

I just made a poodle skirt for someone on another message board. One was fun & easy! I don't know about 10.....

I am so sorry to hear this. Even though you were expecting it, it is still hard.

Okay Fabric obsession is great! I just got my Kyoko pattern! Now if only they would do the Andalucia line, I would be buying!! I think they already did that one...

For those coming to Disneyland, let me know and I will get you directions to M&L fabrics! Its 7 miles from the front gate at disneyland to the store! Or I will come pick you up and take you there!! Any excuse to drive down there!

I lost the rest of my quotes, so I will spend the day trying to catch up. I don't get it. Sometimes I can use multiquote and come back to actually post and its all waiting for me and other times I loose it?

Wendy, that baby set is adorable!! I wish I had that pattern when miss Molly was born! I love all your rag quilts!

I can't wait to get my patterns from that buy! I'm waiting for some fabric to come in before I request shipping. What do you think of the pattern? Does it look easy?

Eyore4Ever149- so sorry to hear about your grandma.

Fabricobsession.....I'm waiting for approval. DH is gonna kill me! LOL

I went out and bought myself a black dress for two different weddings this summer. I haven't worn a dress in about 9 years!!! I need to adjust it a little bit. I have to add a tie to the back. Just have to find some matching fabric and attach it to the side seams. Fairly simple but I'm a skeered to do it! I also have to hem Jazmins bridesmaid dress. That needs about 12-14 inches cut off the bottom. Why is it that I'm so scared to alter store bought outfits?
