[lovesdumbo]

Here are a few pictures of Hannah and Elizabeth wearing the LaVida and the Linette Feliz - thank you Linette!! You are such a special person!!

WOW! Beautiful!!!!

OT.....Could you all please pray for my brother. He should find out tomorrow if he still has a job or not. He has been at his job for almost 33 years (July). He'll be 55 in June and would be eligible for some retirement but if they let him go this week then I'm not sure what will happen. I pray that he keeps his job, but if not then I pray that he will get some kind of retirement package. TIA

Prayers for your brother. How scary!

All amazing!!! You have been busy!!

Thanks!

I am still scared to try the bowling shirt one...though I want one bad for my DS. Hahaha...one of these days.

You CAN do it!!!!!

She is all grins and no teeth!! hehehe Georgia lost her other top tooth today at school! She was so darn excited. She actually pulled this one out. She was so happy she didn't swallow it this time.

Too cute!

Prayers needed please
My Grandfather in law went into the hospital last night. He may need surgery but if he has surgery he could die. He has a bad heart and is on many many meds. So they are doing other treatments to try and avoid surgery. They live in AZ so we don't get to see them much. Please keep him in your prayers.
Thanks

Prayers for your grandfather in law.

I need your help!!
Does anyone know where I can get buttonhole elastic without buying a huge roll? I need about 20 inches. Does anyone have some they want to sell?

I bought mine here:
http://www.homesew.com/ee51.html

Well, I actually completed some projects so I am feeling good. Last week was a hectic week and I felt like I got nothing done.

Here is the dress with sleeves, it was so easy! I was kind of putting off the sleeves but they really were easy. It reminded me of the bowling shirt pattern. Lots of steps but each step is simple.

I copied Jeanne and made a sash but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to tie it! I have looked at Carla's instructions 20 times and still can't do it!

I made it with snaps this time because the Hello Kitty sewing machine does not make the best buttonholes. If you do use snaps, you'll want to use your zipper foot when encasing them, I learned the hard way that if you don't you'll get a wavy line.

Also, I broke a needle topstitching so I would recommend a denim needle when you are going through so many layers. I can't wait until Megan tries it on!

With the leftover scraps I made a wristlet and tote bag for the silent auction Friday. If I have time I would like to make some hippie jeans too, but I still have a lot of PTA errands to run (plus I don't remember the last time I did laundry, lol):

I like the patchwork tote bag someone posted so I copied (plus I didn't have enough pink fabric). I thought I would be clever and do the squares on the diagonal. What a PITA that was! If I never see another square again it will be fine with me!

I am wondering it is will appeal to a kid who is not into quilts and stuff. Sometimes I make things and think it is cool but wonder if non-sewing people will feel the same?

Love the dress and the patchwork bag!

You all know I don't sew, so I lurk (everyday) I made a new design for someone on my creative design thread. I was pretty proud I learned how to download some new brushes (well my son showed me) and make a new type effect.

Love everything that has been posted the last 20 pages or so! And praying for all who need it!

Tracie

That is really cute!

WOW! Everything you've posted is so cute!

Pardon the grump girl. She was not having a good day and did not want to model. I was not in love with this fabric but thought it turned out cute.

Buzz Lightyear bowling shirt. The collar was a challenge!!! But, it turned out ok. Not perfect but it gets the job done.

Those came out great! I love the fabrics on the buzz shirt!

Praying for all those in need. I am a big believer in the power of prayer.

Thanks for the compliments, I was a little hesitant to post pics because I feel like such an amateur compared to all of you wonderful seamstresses.

The Buzz bowling shirt is so cute! I love the coordinating fabric, perfect choice. I like the HSM dress also, my daughter would love that!

Love the Nemo dress!

Are there any cake bakers/decorators on this thread? Sydni will be turning six soon and I need to make her cake!!!! I made Rylie's on her birthday, but that was fairly easy! Sydni wants to have a Hannah Montana party and I thought it would be cute to make a guitar cake! Also, I don't know how to decorate it without using fondant, but I can't stand the way fondant taste! Does anyone have any good recipes for cakes or know what I can use for icing? I really can't afford to pay 40-50 dollars for someone to make it, so any help would really be appreciated! I am hoping I can practice enough before then to actually make the cake look good!

have you checked to see if wilton has a guitar pan, if not you could buy a half sheet cake pan and draw off the guitar on the cake and cut it out I think wilton has the decorators icing recipe on their web site you coul probablly find some thing on there site. I don't like the fondent either michaels or hobby lobby gives beginner classes in cake decorating. You could even just do a half sheet and see if walmart or a cake decorating supply place has the hanna montaina decorations for the cake

Ohh I love your butterfly precious dress!!!!! Awesome bag and wristlet I bet it will be a hit

Such cute stuff has been posted! I am a total techno-dunce and cannot get the multi-quoting thing down.

Steph, cute dress and bag! I have to get the precious dress pattern, I think I only have 3 patterns to buy and I will own the entire CarlaC collection! Did you use a pattern for the bag? My older girls would love that!

SoHappy- those bowling shirts are great! When we go to WDW again, I will definitely be making a Disney-themed shirt for Connor. Your boys are so handsome.

Cathy- I love the epcot outfits! Your girls looked so happy twirling around in them!

I know I'm leaving out a lot of people out but if I try to go back I will completely lose this post!

Here are a few more things I've done, most of these were last fall.

Simply sweet dress for the first day of preschool.

Hi all! I really need to catch up! I am so far behind. I have been sewing like crazy the past few days...thank you T for letting me CASE you...I can't wait to show you the kids outfits...they are coming out great!!!

I have spent most of the day on the phone with my Dad...he is traveling to GA to a funeral for my cousin's husband...he was killed in a motorcycle accident Sunday.

I will go check out everyone's stuff...forgive me for not posting comments this time as I am so far behind, I would take up an entire page!

UPDATE

Well we haven't received a phone call from my brother yet, but my sister-n-law's facebook page says his job is safe for now. Thank you so much for all of your prayers.

My son is about 54 pounds and he wears a 6/7 so that's probably what he would need. I think the rash guards are a great idea. My son has very sensitive skin so it is going to be so nice to just put the swim suit on him instead of tons of irritating sun block on his back and shoulders. I bought one for my him from Land's End online. They have been having some great sales and you can seach google.com for extra discount codes and free shipping. The girls sizes sound right on so hopefully you won't have a problem with those.

As far as the Crocs, I think you bought the right size! They run a size small so you should be correct. For example my d8 is a 2/3 shoe and she needed the 3/5 Crocs. Julia is a 8/9 shoe and she needed the 10/11 (they fit perfectly) and my son is a 13 shoe and he needed the 1/3 croc. Sounds like you are going to be fine!

Whew - I hope it does all fit!! Tim wears a 4T in pants and a 5T in a tshirt - so I was hoping with the Tigger suit - but rashguards are so tight!! Oh well - there was a really cool bright green Nemo one that I think I will trade for!!! When you were talking about your girls shoes were you talking about the Mary Janes? If so, Im hoping Im good!!! We are watching the kids for the weekend in a few weeks, so I think Im going to try to get them to try it all on!!!

I'm sure she is going to love it Wendy! It's adorable! I'm confused though......who should I be telling what a great job they did on them? You or Linnette? They really are beautiful!

LINETTE MADE THE DRESSES!!!! Isnt she so talented!!! I was honored to get them!!!

My D8 has the Hannah Montana Mary Janes and my other two have the regular Mickey Mouse crocs. So, yes you should be fine!
I was surprised. I heard they ran small but my kids all have long thin feet.....Well, I went ahead and ordered them the size bigger anyway (figured better bigger than smaller ) and they all fit great!

Oh, yes, Linette those dresses are FABULOUS!!! OMG, those Felizes are just too beautiful!

It's not on their website and there are no hancocks down here. . . that's ok though because I can't buy fabric for a while, lol. . .


I stocked up and built up my stash today. . .

First I was at walmart and the "tinkerbell" (it is what I think of when I see these dots) dot fabric was clearanced to $3 (originally $4.44). . . so I got two yards of each, and I got 3 yards of the teal fabric for a FL Marlins taggie blanket I want to make for the baby and the lining fabric of the nursing cover I want to make.

Did everyone on here know that Tutti Frutti Fabric at Joann's is at $1.99 a yard!! I have been eying some for about a year, but at $6.99 a yard, or about $4 I could justify just buying a bunch. . .but at $1.99 - I went at it. I got one yard of a bunch of them that I liked and two of some that I just loved. I also got two monkey flannels that were $1.50 a yard b/c they were both red tag at 3, and those are at 1/2 off this week.


Here are the Monkey Fabrics. . .

Here is the dotted Fabric I want to use for the nursing cover (it sort of matches with the baby stuff we want from Babies r us - if anyone is interested it is this line: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2982165

I got these because they seem like they would be ok for a baby boy (or girl):

and the rest of these because I liked them, they would be good for a girl or all the cousins and girls at church I already sew for. . . most of them are just one yard, though very few are two yards:

It made me so very happy. . .and I spent around $50 at Joann's. . . . not bad for all that fabric (plus I got batting, boning for the nursing cover and 4 yards of the dotted stuff, which was on sale for $3 a yard). In total I spent around $70 between both stores, and I am going to make up most of that next week when I will be making $150 for baby sitting I was only able to justify it because of that. . . and I am only going to buy some sort of soft fabric for the baby blanket and not much else for a long while (I promised myself I wouldn't).

I can't believe I'm posting pictures of my now 3yr old! She is growing up so fast!

She was posing herself!

These last 3 are TRUE Araeyah! She can make you laugh all the time.

 

[Adi12982]

I worked on a shopping cart cover and case today. . . my future SIL bought the fabrics and bias tape and I made it. It is for a friend of her family that is having a baby this summer, and she wanted to give this to her as her shower gift.

it is reversible, with a super soft Denim on the other side:

Here's the case I made (Denim with monkey trim)

and here it is in the case:

and my back is killing me. . . so I'm off. . .

PS the fabric looks so much cuter in person!
