Does anyone have the Little Kimmy doll from SWAK? I was wanting one for Jenna, but my hoop isn't big enough. Would anyone be willing to help me out?

Sorry, I have Stella. I have a big enough hoop but not the design.

I don't have it but I keep looking at how cute it is! I wish I could see all the steps involved before I bought it since I am not fond of my hoop! The one that Carla made for Becca was just too darn cute! And of course I really can't figure out why I need to make a doll! Dallas only like penguins!

You can order it by the foot at hotfixqueen.com . It was the cheapest place I found (though please understand I didn't do a totally thorough search so it may be cheaper elsewhere)

Here's what I used, the cut if for you in a continuous sheet and you just cut off how much you need from it each time:

Ugh I see now it's out of stock right now. If you don't want to wait for it there's some on ebay.

It will be a few days before I'm working on stuff again. With two pain shots today, a pain cream, some pain pills and a sling to wear occasionally, I can't see me getting out the tweezers and placing tiny studs anytime soon. I never knew it was such a dangerous pasttime!

Thank You!! I really hope you are feeling better soon.
I am lucky the only pain that I feel from my hobbies is the weight loss in my wallet!!

The back (the red is not sewn on only pinned so I can change it):

Thanks for any help suggestions you can offer

Adorable - what a great way to use that fabric!!Very original!!

dd would desperately like bride & groom Mickey and Minnie ears for their Disneyworld honeymoon. I would love to have them for her at her "Happily Ever After" themed shower.

Anyone...If it's possible to pick them up for me and ship them to me next time
you're in the World, would you PM me please?

If not, I'm sure I can call DelivEars, right? or is there another Disneyworld merchandise # I can call?

Thanks for the assistance!

someone beat me to the suggestion about the disney website!! did you order them?

Crystal,
Because you asked for it, here is my new hair cut. It is a lob but DS didn't get the picture of the back very well. He did great with the front picture.

So cute April!! Great dress too!!!

Tinka - wish I could help you out with the doll - I dont have a machine though!! Have you been sewing anything lately? Havent seen Jenna in a while!

Prayers for the Pregnant ladies - hang in there girls!!! It will be worth it for sure!!!

Love all the tunics that we saw!! so cute!!! What chest measurement do they go up to?

I have not been sewing. I have been doing other things. I am out of school for a couple of weeks and I plan on getting caught up with some of my sewing things. For a while I was helping out with my grandparents and they seem to be doing really well right now. (Knock on wood). Jenna is doing good. When I sew something I will take some pics of her.

Wendy, the 11/12 goes up to a 30" chest. Hmmm...I need to measure Jayden, I may not have to enlarge the pattern for her since it's easy enough to adjust the length. I forget that length is the reason she is usually a 14/16.

Hi My name is April and I can't follow directions on a commercial pattern.

WHAT directions on commercial patterns?????

I definitely need to learn to shir this summer!

A few things I made for my niece & nephew's trip next week (I made a few more shirts and some matching shorts for my nephew too):

Cute! I love the skirt!

Here is Lily's Sophie tunic! I can't wait to make more! It was sooo easy! I want to make one with a contrasting fabric. And I love the sis boom fabrics. So fun and colorful!

Adorable!

You all probably saw this already but just in case.....

a longer preview for the Princess and the Frog!

Looks great! Can't wait!
this is also on the official site... looks better there
Colors look better....must be higher quality.

I had not seen that-it looks so cute! We saw on exhibit on Up at WDW. It looks really fun too.

Hmm - my Bekah is a 31" chest - I wonder if it would fit her - she would LOVE this design!!! They say it is a full cut - what do you think?

As always I love all the new things I see. There is soo much talent on this board.

I need a pattern for a cap for my sister. She starts a very powerful chemo on Tuesday. It is called Adriamycin aka "the red devil". One of the side effects is hair loss. This is my "big" sister (she's really smaller than me but is 14 years older). I love her dearly and and I am so worried about her. She has breast cancer and has just had a mastectomy and reconstruction. This chemo is so strong that she had to have a heart test to see if her heart was strong enough to take it.

I was always a Daddy's girl, kinda a tom boy who never worries a lot about how my hair or makeup looked. My sister is just the opposite. She always wears her hair and makeup just so. I know it is worrying her that her hair is going to fall out. She plans to buy a good wig but I though maybe I could make her some caps or scarfs (or both) to wear around the house or any time she doesn't want the wig on. Louisiana is hot and humid in the summer and a wig might not always be comfortable.

Has anyone here ever made such a hat? Do you have or know of a good pattern? It needs to maybe come lower down on the head to cover more.
If anyone can help I will be very grateful.

Prayers for my sister would also be wonderful.

Thanks,

Penny

I will definitely pray for your sister, Penny.

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

I'm very sorry about your loss.

It will be 6 years in November. So far, I'm still NED and I intend to keep it that way!!

Ladies, I can't encourage you enough to get regular mammograms...Having several years to compare mine to made it really easy for my doc to "spot" (pun intended) my lump. It was so small that I couldn't feel it, but the mammogram did! I was able to have a lumpectomy (which I call a chunkectomy based on the amount of tissue he removed!)and all the margins around that one lump were clear. They did a bone scan and other tests--all clear. I had radiation, mild chemo and took tamoxifen for several years (the cancer was estrogen-receptive) and I have had no reoccurance!

Luckily he only removed tissue and not your sense of humor!!!

That pattern is easy, but keep in mind I have been sewing for at least 30 years!
Here is a picture of the first one I made.

It was Kadie's birthday and we were waiting to get into Ariel's grotto!

Gorgeous!

Why am I looking at designs on SWAK now! I have a list of 10 or so I would like!! Thanks Crystal!

Hmmm....I'd either upsize it on the copier or wait for the adult pattern to come out. There will eventually be an adult version. I'm going to make the XS adult for Jayden when it comes out. In the meantime I'm going to make her a kid version. I'll let you know how it goes next week. I'm still not even sure what her chest measurement is.

I am sure this has been asked a million times, but does anyone know of any sewing groups on Facebook? I just signed up for it yesterday and am still trying to figure it out. Facebook, I mean.

I got a serger for my anniversary on May 2nd from DH. I'm trying to figure that out, too. But I did learn to thread it. I paid my son $5 to figure it out and then show me. He's unemployed at the moment and I didn't understand the manual so it worked out for both of us

As usual, there have been so many nice things posted, I don't even know where to start. The tunics all came out great!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Wow, did this day go by quickly! Im pretty sure Im going to miss some comments

Love everything you posted! The Pooh quilt is awesome!

Crystal,

Nice new do!

Also, thanks for all the prayers; all the moles were benign.

Wonderful news!

Here is the second dress I made today. This fabric came from billwendy too. Thank you so much!!

 

[twob4him]

Jessica!
I can't wait to see your new dress you made! I am still in awe of that adorable Donald and Daisy quilt! So cute!!!

ETA - Did you check out the $1 sale on SWAK??? I bought 10 for $10! I am all ready for back to school and Thanksgiving!!!


OH yaaa...I updated my blog but you all already saw all of the pics!


OK good night! Dress rehearsals tomorrow!!!!

 

[NaeNae]

Who is Stella?

It's a ITH (in the hoop) doll on http://www.embroidery-outlet.com/designs_overview.htm.

I am so sorry. The bad thing is that yesterday a sale ended that they were having. They had a bunch of designs on sale for a $1. I was able to convince DH into letting me get some.

Just wanted to let you babywearer fans know I took the plunge and ordered a baby hawk tonight.

Thank you to those who complimented me on my "stuff"
I went back and thinned out the post- too many photos so I got rid of the flowers, pets.

Tomorrow I will plan to finish the cupcake purse and the borders on the pooh quilt, once it's all quilted Ill post another (hopefully better) pic of it. The colors in the photo are way off- I dont know why.

Please say a prayer for my friend Dionne- she is pregnant too, due about 5 days before me, she was having irregular contractions, and she went in, but they sent her home, now they are inducing her tomorrow because they are concerned about amount of fluid/baby size.

Linnette- you have really been on my mind lately- I hope and pray you are okay. Some day we should make the drive and meet half way, Id love a mini-meet.
