I saved the fabric and made a skirt from the FUBAR dress. I am happy overall and also learned how to do the waistband with zipper skirt.
FUBAR dress
It looks like it fits really well.
WOW you gals sure gab a lot
I leave for half a day and it takes me an hour to catch up
I love all the outfits ~ that tink one is really cute... too bad the real tink didn't notice
I love the prom dress too~ Very sassy!!!
I just got the photos of the EE dress I was having made for my DD. Remember I DO NOT SEW NOR DO I KNOW HOW
I helped a great deal with the design and patterns but someone else did the work...
Also ~ the full shot the color is really offthe white is bright white and the teal is a bright teal...
Maybe you can see the colors better in this shot
The white has a cracked ice look to it
Okay now I have a cute story to share...... DH is in Iraq.... he called Taylor a week or so ago and told her he was sending her Aladin's magic lamp. I thought it was very sweet until she started talking about the Genie coming out and getting to make a wish. I didn't want her to be all sad about Daddy's sweet present so I started prying and asking what she would wish for. She told me over and over again she was going to wish for a bike. So today my mom was watching DD and the package from daddy arrived. I decided to run home at lunch.
Here she is opening her lamp and rubbing it to make a wish
Thankfully she still wished for a bike.
She opened her eyes and looked inside the lamp and was like
"there is no bike in here"
My mom then asked her where she would ride a bike.....she screamed outside and ran to the door. She flung open the door and saw her bike sitting on the porch.
Here she is celebrating
She kept yelling "I knew it, I knew it! Daddy said it was a magic lamp!" She also kept talking about how fast the Genie was, that she didn't even see him fly out of the lamp and to the porch. I would love to be that young again where you really believe a Genie put the bike there and not that mommy dropped it off on her way inside 5 mins earlier. I was so sweet and she keeps telling me how she has the best Daddy to find her Aladin's lamp and that she will never give it to Aladin not even at Disney World.

Okay sorry for the long post, I thought it was so cute and had to share.
no flame tree BBQ thats for sure
Aww about Aladdins lamp. Can your DH send me one? I wanna wish for a porshe!
(that is SO SWEET in all seriousness!)
you got that right!!!!
I'm sorry I haven't been active on this thread. It's been very busy and some personal stuff has kept me occupied. I finally took some nice pictures of the flamingo dress with non-sunburned Megan.
I used snaps on the back and when she bends over they come unsnapped so I don't think I'll do that again. I was trying to be lazy and not worry about buttons!

FUBAR is not a pattern but an outfit gone bad. It stands for F***ed up beyond all repair.Sorry for the language.
Wendy, Here is my first attempt of a design for Daniel. I will make many more and you just take what you need and iron out on a shirt if you would please. Or how about just D/L them for now and then as I finish all the designs maybe ask him which one he likes best. I know you will know what to do.
Thought I would share some of my latest sewing....
T-shirt for ds for dinner at Ohana....
This is for dd..and I am not sure if I really like the "flower" buttons that I used on the applique. I still have to do the button holes.
Little Einstein for ds - oops, just realized that I never went back and finish up Leo's hair because I didn't have any matching thread.
I am also making dd a June applique on a Vida dress when I broke my serger! So I will share that later when I am done.
I was planning on something witty and charming for my 2000th post but ended up with just a sewing question. Sorry.
This is the princess seam dress that is a complete FUBAR. It was my fault for cutting out the wrong size but then I went back and cut all the seams and took it in. It still didn't fit in the back or bust so I took in the princess seams in the back. It was close but still off at the underarms. They went out too much. Then the facings were laying badly and it has gone from bad to worse.
I love the fabric and now want to cut the dress above the waistline and make a skirt with back zipper and waist band.
Please could someone guide me through how to do this? I do know how to cut but the waistband and zipper???

This dress took me a couple of hours to make, from printing out the pieces to sewing the hem. It was very easy and quick!
The next one I haven't even let her wear once because we haven't made it to church and Heather said, why don't you let her wear it to school? So I did, today. It came back with some dirt on the bottom but ok otherwise:
This one took a bit longer because it has a collar, sleeves and a sash but not too much. I am sure you could do it in a week, a little at a time.

Yep I am totally addicted now.... easy fit pants, then the simply sweet with a boo applique, and now I have made a stripwork twirl skirt. Thanks so much for the instructions Leslie! They were really easy to understand and follow. I am really happy with how it came out, I LOVE the skirt, I am still not sure about the shirt.... I didn't get the positioning of the mickey heads exactly how I pictured, so I may redo it.. but here are some pics of DD's animal kingdom outfit.
Since I am not crazy about the shirt and might redo it, I slipped a black tank on to see which I liked better, I can't decide.... do you think the white or black goes better?

Now can anyone help me with this.....I am looking for these fabrics, I want to make a quilt and a purse for my bff from nursing school for graduation.
I know its a long shot...they are supposed to be hard to find. The designer is Loralie and she has a great line of different ladies.
