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.

We're keeping you ALL in our prayers. Hang in there and to Mia.

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


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!



HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY EVERYONE! I will post some pics of some projects tomorrow or Tuesday!

Hi Cathy - yes, I would buy it again - it only was a little funky smelling when I got it, but it washed out right away, I used a nice dose of fabric softener and it softened right up. It isnt the thickest fabric, but somewhere on the lines of the more inexpensive walmart quality???? does that make sense?

Hopefully my MIL will like the purse - DH decided FRIDAY NIGHT he needed something for his mom who lives in TEXAS!!! What is he thinking!!! So he called her today and will mail it tomorrow...

Are patterns on sale for 99 anywhere this week?????

So I realized I have only posted pictures of Hannah here. I shared this with Melissa and thought I'd share it with all of you. These are my two youngest girls, Hannah and Lizzie:

And now you can probably see my difficulty. They both want to be "equal" but they aren't near the same. And Lizzie likes boy type things but doesn't want to dress like a boy all the time, so finding stuff for this trip that are "different but equal" has been quite a challenge!!

Here's Em...and yes, she's only 12:

I wish I could post up a picture of my soon-to-be legal sons, but I'm not allowed to UNTIL it's all legal! Then I can show them off and announce their new names!

I'd like to ask for some prayers for myself. I had 3 moles (2 on my face) removed yesterday that had changed, looked suspicious, one was bleeding. Please pray that it's nothing.

Prayers for you!

Prayers for my sister would also be wonderful.

Prayers for your sister!

Grandpa died this morning. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

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.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Oh my goodness you guys, I have some really WONDERFUL news!!!!! ABSOLUTELY wonderful news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just found out late yesterday that we will FINALLY be able to adopt our beautiful baby boy!!!!! After 17 very long months of worrying and fearing the worst, we finally have an adoption date!!!! Oh I am soooooooo excited!!!! This smile has not left my face since I heard the news! In the beginning of July our son will become ours legally forever and ever!!! No more worrying that he will be ripped from our lives!!! This huge weight of fear has been lifted and we have truly been blessed!!!!!!!!! Oh I can not wait......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and prayers. You guys are the best and I love being a part of this group!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I take some time to go see the granddaughters in Kansas, and now I have over 50 pages to catch up on! Before I do, I wanted to ask--have any of you made a baby wrap thingie? I think they go by different names, but they're about 3 yards of fabric that the mom wraps around her belly, over the shoulders, and tucks the baby into to carry hands-free. They're pretty cool, I don't remember them in my day. But the retail places want at least $90 for what looks like a long piece of fabric! I'm going to try and make one for my niece and my expectant d-i-l (twins!!) to try, just thought I'd see if anyone had fabric suggestions or any other advice.

 

[mirandag819]

I have a Fancy Nancy fan in my house and I need to know where you got that fabric at?

I got it at Joann's on Friday. It wasn't there last week when I was there, so maybe it is new. If you can't find any I can pick some more up. I saw the flannel first and offered to make her pj pants, but she did not like that idea and was very excited when I saw it in cotton a few mins later.

That is so wonderful.

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????

When you guys make these purses, what do you think about the straps - they seem kinda wimpish to me just being made out of fabric - thoughts? Also - it said to fold down the top by a half inch etc - -what does the inside look like at the top of yours - pictures anyone??

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?

Jessica - thanks for your thoughts on that sewing machine - Im not sure what to do!!!

cute purse Wendy. Love the colours

hi all , i am sorry to do such a quick post but my dd mia has been admitted to the hospital and she is most likely diabetic. we went in yesterday morning and it has been very stressful. i had signed up to do crayon rollups for josabbi give. but with the circumstances i didnt finish them. i asked a friend to log in as me on the other board and send a pm, not sure if it worked havent spokent to her. if anyone could help out i think heather is the coordinator. unfortunately the ship date is tomorrow. sorry for the trouble. so sorry i could nt finish them. thanks all. if you wouldnt mind please send up prayers for my mimi she isnt even three and this is such a difficult thing . thanks kim

Hope she is OK.

We leave for my birthday trip to the world Thursday morning and I wanted to get this dress done before we go. We'll be eating at Ohanas on my birthday for breakfast and I wanted to do a Hawaiian print dress for Hayleigh. I like the end product but I didn't not enjoy working with the pattern I had. After making CarlaC's stripwork jumper before this one I think I will be sticking with her patterns and variations of from now on! Hayleigh had to get her 2 Bolts in the pics too. Unfortunately I think Bolt is leaving and she won't be able to meet him. I threw in the pic of the stripwork jumper too b/c I wasn't sure if I had shared that or not!

Love the dresses. She looks adorable.

It feels like forever since I showed off anything I've made. I've been sewing, but I just never seem to have the time to sit down & load any pics (or in some cases even take them - I have no pics of the girls in their Valentine's Day shirts & I really liked how they came out).

Anyway, here's Easter & the egg hunts & the bunnies they got.

We had an egg hunt with one of my bestest friends & her 5 girls. She makes tutus to sell so we got all the girls to wear their tutus for the hunt. It was one of the cutest things ever. There was so much tulle in that yard!

Great tutus and super Easter dresses.

I hope Mia's doing okay, and you too. That must be very stressful! Thanks for letting someone know about the roll-ups. You are very thoughtful to even be thinking of it when your life is so crazy. Lots of prayers for Mia!

So about a year or so ago 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.

Honestly I think my favorite part is the cowprint peasant top! Now I think she needs a purple poodle skirt to go with it! (sorry, just realized the photo is blurry)

So cute, and I love that she always has shoes that match perfectly.

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:

Good job. Nice when they can help you out to make something. Sometimes they appreciate it more that way.

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

Cool Shorts.

.

Very cute.

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:

Very cute tutu and I love your cirque hotfix design, I was wondering if you could tell me how you make the hotfix designs? I love using the rhinestones and crystals, but never knew you could make your own designs!

I really like those designs! What are you using to do the patterns? Are you really happy with the Hot Fix? I have never tried it but was interested mt DD3 is very into shiny sparkly things

I just can't keep up with you gals I am forever 5 pages behind!

There are some hotfix designs on the web, but not many.

For the Cirque one, I copied their logo into Photoshop. I added a layer on top of the image and then lightened the opacity of the bottom image so I could see what I was adding to the top layer. Then I went through with a dot brush and altered the size of the dots to the size of the brush stroke in the image (the "Cirque du Soleil" was easy because it was typed, so all the dots were the same..but they had to be varied in "La Nouba" because of the brush strokes).

Afterward I just deleted the original bottom layer and ended up with the pattern.

I think I found the boots/hat on the web somewhere but I used a font for "Hoop de Doo" and dotted it out.

Ugh...counting dots to figure out how many rhinestones you need is the PITS though!

I have never tried it so I can't say how well it will work. The video tutorials I saw online made it look like something I could do. We'll see once the materials arrive! If someone wants a link to the tuts let me know.

This will either be really cool, or a complete disaster. I figured something funky for Cirque would be fun, though!

Edited to add:
If someone wants me to try a hotfix design for them off an image, let me know. A lot of the applique pattern images work really well. I actually found it pretty relaxing to do!

Doing a run by post. I love all the new things. I am sorry i have been busy all weekend. Happy Mothers day to all. My prayers got to everyone in need.

Has anyone seen Star Wars fabric anywhere? I have a 4 yr old daughter so I've never really paid attention to it, but we'll be at the Studios for Star Wars Weekends so I wanted to make her something. Thanks

 

[mommyof3princess]

Oh Marah Could you please check your pm box. Thank you

 

[Tinka_Belle]

Joann's has the Fancy Nancy Fabric. They also have a flannel. The cotton is 7.99 a yard.

I got it at Joann's on Friday. It wasn't there last week when I was there, so maybe it is new. If you can't find any I can pick some more up. I saw the flannel first and offered to make her pj pants, but she did not like that idea and was very excited when I saw it in cotton a few mins later.

Thanks I will check out the website and see if they have it there. We don't have a Joann's here. Then I need to see if my DH will let me buy some. It has been a while since I bought any so many I might be able to get a yd.

By the Way I am in love with all of the pictures that you guys have posted today. Marah your girls are adorable and I can't wait until your boys are legally yours.

I've made a couple - they are longer than 3 yards though - I would recommend closer to 5yds depending on size of mama. If you use something with stretch in it it's good for when they are little but not so much as they get older. A knit often doesn't fray so it's just a matter of cutting to size (mine was 50cm so I think that is 20" wide) - I got 3 wraps from 5yds of fabric - kept one in the car, gave one away and kept one at home for me.

For a woven fabric you need to hem it so it won't fray. Also a woven one is much better for older children as they shouldn't lose their shape.

I personally prefer one whole piece of fabric and not cut and sew down the center as it makes a weak point but others have no problem with it. Each to their own.

I'd suggest doing a search for hugabub, moby wrap, storchenwiege or look on thebabywearers website (they have patterns and instructions on there)

I'm a big fan of baby wearing, I own lots of different sorts of wraps, slings and meitai's.
