I LOVE this! I think I need some of that pig fabric

I agree! I LOVE the pig fabric! I saw it on facebook but didn't realize it was little piggies! Great job Jeanne! I was going to say she needs to go to a farm now but I guess church works since they'll sing Old MacDonald. The purple poodle will be so cute! Fancy Lily it will be!
 
I use a program called gimp, which is like Photoshop but it's an open source software product and free to use.
I use CS2 but want version 4. I know it is an expensive program and I am still not even skimming the surface of what the program can do.

I want to say I'm sorry that I have not been more active for several months. A very difficult student whose parents will not admit that he has problems (the school cannot diagnose, just gather lots of material and information so that we can help the child down the road.) I come home exhausted and sometimes actually physically injured from dealing with him--I have a fist sized bruise on my arm and one slightly larger than that on my abdomen from his antics on Thursday.

I read and admire, but don't have the energy or concentration to comment.

Add to that the end of the year "stuff" that has to be done for my class and the 10 poodle skirts and 9 t-shirts I am making (7 done, 3 to go!)........ You can see why I'm in a tizzy!!!
I sure do hope you are ok. You are the most dedicated teacher ever to try so hard with a behavior. I sure do wish you would move out here and teach!

Hi Everyone,

Thank you all so much for your very kind words about being a mom - I actually will treasure those for a long time! I really think Im going to try to talk to DH more about it and see what happens....

Here is a purse I made for my MIL - Im not sure about the button - too big? use something different????

Wendy, you are so kind and loving a child in your life would be perfect. I would love to have you for a mom if you want a 50 yr old? JK!

I love the purse, Did MIL love it too? Super job!
 
So about a year or so ago :lmao: I bought this fabric and posted it not knowing what I would make with it, well I finally made something! Lily calls it her "Old Mikadonald" dress. She wore it to church today and I was walking past her classroom and heard them inside singing Old McDonald had a farm so she's workin' it! She loves that song. :laughing:

Oh my heck that is just too cute! How very sweet and you are so talented.
 
Okay ladies, I know a lot of you embroider as well as sew so I thought I would post this here. DMIL being such a sweet person got me a $50 GC for Mother's Day from Embroidery Garden...and I didn't have the heart to tell her that I couldn't use it as my machine is acting up...not to mention I have som many designs I never use...if anyone has anything they would like to trade for it just PM me. Fabric, Scrapbook supplies....Studio Tantrum.Farbenmix Patterns....Sorry if this was the wrong place to post or if it's wrong all together mods just let me know. TIA! I am also posting on the fabricswap...
 

Believe it or not, I actually have something to share! My daughter Hannah and I made this tutu today for her to wear to the Cirque du Soleil show! (You can see she's still not feeling her best). It's hard to tell but it's actually red, white, black and yellow:

I'm still waiting for my hotfix supplies to come in the mail, but when they do, I designed this and I'm hoping to put this in rhinestones on the tank top:

I'm having a lot of fun making hotfix patterns. If the Cirque shirts turn out okay I want to do these for Hoop de Doo:

Hello everyone!
I've been lurking for a while and enjoying seeing everyone's beautiful creations. I'm posting using my hubby's screen name, so I am the DW in his siggie! I love to sew for my kiddos, especially dd who is 6, and also smock and do embroidery. We are headed to WDW in 2 weeks:yay: and I am trying to work up a few last minute outfits.
I have smocked her a Cinderella dress to wear to Akershus, but just read yesterday that Cindy doesn't often appear there. (no biggie, since we will also be eating at 1900 PF, so she can wear it there) So I am looking to make her something else to wear that evening, but can't decide which princess to go with (she doesn't have a favorite--she likes them all!). Are there any who are there more often than others? I would love for her to have pictures with a princess in a matching dress!
And just one more question, I promise! I am also thinking of appliqueing a few Mickey head tees for DS (age3) and wondered if you all are digitizing those on your own or if the design is available for purchase somewhere. I know I can do them the "old fashioned way" with a satin stich, but the embroidered ones look so nice!
Thanks everyone--and thanks for sharing so many wonderful ideas!!

Sarah
Sarah, welcome and have a great trip. We did see Cindy at the Norway place and all the princesses. DH doesn't like the food there so we are going to do 1900 this time.

Hi! I'm back.:sad1: We had a great time but it was really HOT! The heat was exhausting.
Welcome home, we are all waiting for the trip report! Sorry it was so hot already.
 

That is ADORABLE!!! Miss Lily's Sunday school class must have all loved it!!!

Hannah looks beautiful - how old is she? I was wondering if my neice Elizabeth was ready to do a project like this? Did you use the rolls of tulle from Joann's? How many did it take? Those hotfix things look awesome!! Have you ever done it before?

Question for you guys - Im making a big give Chip and Dale outfit, and think I just want to go for a white shirt since the shorts are colorful, and I dont want it to look like pj's - do you think I need to put something on the shirt or will plain be okay? I also tried making a scrunchie since she doesnt wear bows - this is for Andrea.....

Hannah just turned 8 on May 2nd. We did use the rolls of tulle from Joanns, it was 15 of each color (so 60 total) and we probably have enough left to do another the same size (Lizzie isn't sure yet if she wants one or not). She held the rolls while I cut them and then handed me the colors in the right pattern for me to tie on. It was a lot of fun.

Where did you find the Chip and Dale fabric? I LOVE IT!

How about a purple or green shirt with a chip and dale iron on? They make some really cute ones on the DISigns board. Cute shorts by the way!

It really turned out GREAT!! How long did you make each piece? How many rolls of each color did you get?

I got the fabric on EBAY - it was from Asia - it washed up really nice and soft!!

Each piece was about 3.5 feet, I would guess. I had her show me how long she wanted it to be, doubled it (since you fold it in half) and left about an inch more for the knot. It only took about half a roll of each color.
 
I posted this on the Fabric Swap thread too but ----
For those ladies in the south Jersey area - I went to a fabric store in Vineland on Landis Ave - "The Pincushion" it has TONS of fabric, I almost fainted. They even had Wizard of Oz prints - like 6 of them. McDonalds fry kids, princess purple toile, blue & red winnie the pooh toile, garfield, Beatles, Scooby Doo, Cabbage Patch Kids, a black Buzz Lightyear - I can't even remember them all - I found a 101 Dalmations print! Plus they had the same print in a flannel too. I think I found my new favorite fabric store! :love: And the ladies were sooooo helpful. It was great!:lovestruc

Ahhhh you hit the jackpot...I will have to check this out...thanks so much!!!!:banana::banana::banana:

Wendy I love your bag you made your MIL and this fabric is adorable! I saw it online but I wasnt sure if it would be ok quality wise....I have hesitated buying stuff from Asia....would you do it again? I saw a seller on ebay who sells tons of disney stuff!!! Was the fabric stinky at all after you washed it? I love your tri-color shorts! Maybe you could cut out 2 or 3 chip n dales in the different color fabric (just a circle around the chipmunk) and heat and bond them to the white tee???? That might tie them together???



Prayers for Mia!!! Hope the doctor was able to help! :hug::hug:



HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY EVERYONE! I will post some pics of some projects tomorrow or Tuesday!
 
Okay here is the Fancy Nancy dress I threw together yesterday morning, I know not very fancy..... DD saw the fabric Friday night and was jumping up and down in excitement, she loves Fancy Nancy. She begged for me to make her a fancy nancy dress and since I knew how impatient she would be I just made a real simple Carla C Simply Sweet dress. I still have a lot of the fabric left, so I will make something a little more "fancy" later, especially since I saw some cute appliques on stitch on time. Here is the dress I made for now, DD still loves it which is all that matters I guess.

Sorry the picture isn't great, I should have taken a picture when I first put it on her, but I barely finished it before we needed to leave yesterday. By the time we got home she was tired and had a little dot of ice cream on the dress and was sweaty and wrinkled. She wants to wear it to preschool tomorrow so maybe I can get a new picture in the morning. Also ignore the wrap on her head, she had a costume in the mail from daddy when we got home and wouldn't take it off her head for a picture.
 
Hoping someone is around to answer a quick sizing question-
The measurements I have on my daughter Hannah are:

Top of Shoulder to knee = 27
Chest=24 (under armpit all the way around)
Waist= 22.5
Hip=25
She's 50 inches tall and from the top of her shoulder to her knee is 27.5 inches.

(she's sick and asleep so I can't measure her anything else)


Would something with these measurements fit her?


Elastic waist skirt unstretched is 18 inches, stretched is 26 inches, and from the waist to the bottom is 18 inches. The shirt is is 14.5 inches from neckline to hem (but it ties on top so there is some "play" with the size.

I have a Fancy Nancy fan in my house and I need to know where you got that fabric at?
 
Hi Piper,
This is Kimmylaj's Hubby Thank You for doing the roll ups for her. All Mia's labs have come back good so far, however, we are waiting for major bloodwork to come back tomorrow to know more. Thank you for the prayers and good wishes to you and all.
 
Also, I think my iron might be going - I noticed a few spots where the fusable fleece didnt seem to "take" - any tips or advice on a new iron?
This is the iron I'm saving my pennies for... http://www.oliso.com/iron/index.php

My local quilt shop has one that I got to use during a class a couple of weeks ago. It has an auto-lift feature that is so cool!! They run about $100 (but someone in class said they got a better price at Fry's)
