Thanks, Wendy

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.

It made me so very happy. . .and I spent around $50 at Joann's. . . .

I smiled when I read this b/c I've been looking at the Tutti Fruitti every time I go to JoAnn's for a while too (not a year since I haven't been sewing that long - lol). I was also really excited when I saw it was going to be on sale for $1.99 a yard. I went in tonight and bought several yards in different prints. I got some other fabric I've been looking at on sale and a few miscellanous things I needed. At the last cutting sale, I bought a good pair of Gingher scissors 1/2 off. This time, I gave in and got a Fiskers rotary cutter. I too spent about $50 - it's not hard to do!

I had to take two of by dds in with me, and my toddler, who is normally pretty good (for a toddler), decided to turn into a little monster and take off running every where! Little stinker... I was that mom tonight.

I think that we have all had a turn being that mom! I know I have!

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

I'll be thinking of him, hoping to see a new update tomorrow (think I read that you said they'd be trying something else first?)!

Hello Everyone!!

Tom- Wrinkly! You are too funny!

Wendy- love the dresses!

Linnette- how sweet of you to mail fabric for her, you have a heart of gold

Who else on our thread is into making cloth diapers? If you are, please PM me.

Last night I feel like I won the worst Mommy award.

Today Megan is 3 years old!


I can't believe she is 3!

I made her a "Happy Birthday" pillowcase yesterday that came out cute.

Aww, don't feel too bad. I've had moments like that with Violet, as well (last night I think it was, actually, or maybe the night before? So traumatized I blocked it out, I guess!). And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her, as well! =D

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?

Gorgeous, totally love that bag! I have some of that same fabric but in blue, no idea what I'm doing with it yet though.

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.

Halloween outfits

Back view

Here's a few more pics since my posts don't work if I try to do too many at once.

Another simply sweet I made for Alexa's 5th birthday.

Thanksgiving overalls I did for Connor, I didn't make Alexa's outfit.

Bored yet, lol?

Here is a Thanksgiving pillowcase dress

And a Thanksgiving/Fall Peasant dress

And here is a bowling shirt I did for my son. Someone on here had done a cowboy bowling shirt and I thought it was the cutest thing ever!

Everything looks so great, especially love the Halloween sets!

OK, thought I would post the first 2 things I've made for the trip. Still have to finish the minnie dot fabric dress tonight.

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.

Cute, love the Buzz fabric!

ok... finally got jojo to model... it was rainy this weekend so no sun for pics!

Lori

Cute, especially love the Nemo set!

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.

She's such a gorgeous little girl!

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:

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

PS the fabric looks so much cuter in person!

That looks really neat, how hard was it? Did you use a pattern?

 

[eeyore3847]

Cute, especially love the Nemo set!

Thank you !!!!

Boy there have been some cute things posted. I've been trying to lurk but the computer in my room has decided it doesn't like me anymore It turns on but doesn't turn on the monitor. Strange.

Anyway, I'm starting to panic about our cruise wear and our trip isn't until November! Bought fabric today for a Cinderella dress and the provincial Belle but DD3 wants Sleeping Beauty. Can I tell you, I hate SB's dress! What is that thing below the waist with the points? And the collar, yuck. Its not soft and lovely to me. Does that make sense? Please post pics if you have made a Sleeping Beauty dress! I checked the photobucket a/c but there weren't too many pics. Evelyn wants the dresses to be very fancy, suitable for formal night on the cruise. Ugh.

 

[PrincessKell]

she is adorable. I love that she lost a tooth. Was she ok with it? Don't forget the tooth fairy this evening.

She was ok with this one.. The first one on the top was the kicker! She wasn't happy with that one. I have pictures of me trying to pull that sucker out. That was loose and she wouldn't touch it for a good month or so that is until she swallowed it and that freaked her out even more. hahahaha Poor kid! But this one was a little better. She was more used to it. She actually said it was going to come out that day on the way to school and she was right. The Tooth fairy was very tired and had a lot of flying around that night so no cute notes or anything. haha bad tooth fairy! I love how the best pictures she isn't even looking at the camera! hahaha darn kid.

 

[PrincessKell]

Oh I am pretty tired, but all the things posted in past day or two are soooo stinkin cute. As they always are!

The pictures of Araeyah are sooooo adorable! I love the one with her little belly stickin out. hehe

Lori, Jojo looks so cute in the newest creations. Love the Nemo one.. Or "memo" as Georgia still calls it to this day.

I had a dress cut to sew tonight, but I am tired gonna finish watchin Biggest Loser on tivo and head to bed. I dont even know if I will make it that far. might just be off to bed!

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.

Good news!

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. . .

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).

You did an awesome job! And what a great saver you are! A+

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

She was posing herself!

She posed herself? See what great skills our little models are learning??? She is absolutely adorable .... love the pics and poses!

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.

Very nice gift and it will be well used and appreciated I am sure! Hope your back isn't killing you from sewing?

Wonderful news!

Prayers for you, your family and eveyone else that needs them!



YIPPEEE!!! Good news!!

Where did you guys get the Buzz Lightyear fabric?? I need some for my Henry!

I got mine last summer at Hancocks on clearance...

GREAT finds! Now you are making me toy with going to Joannes today! I was going to go to Walmart because I needed specific fabric but now I don't know!

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

Great pictures! she is beautiful!

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

and here it is in the case:

Great job! Love the monkey fabric! i always by monkey fabric because Kyle is obsessed with any thing monkeys!

 

[minnie2]

I finally have an outfit for Kyle! He is a ham and won't pose nicely for a picture We have a mirror directly across from where he is standing so of course he had to make faces in it...

The lines aren't straight but they are straighter then I have ever gotten them! I am toy with going over the edges again but I am afraid I am going to ruin it.
I have the same outfit almost done for my nephews bday but all I need in is the white tshirt. shorts are done and the laces on the football are done so once I get the tshirt it should be quick.

Off to Wally world today to grab some littlest pet shop fabric and Tink fabric for a dress for my girlfriends niece and her dd'd bday.

 

[Tinka_Belle]

Marlo-that outfit for Kyle looks great. I love how he makes faces at himself. Also that hat for Nikki is adorable. She looks so pretty in those pictures.

Hi Everyone! Everything is so cute! The Nemo dress! The Stroller cover and all of the fall things that were made. Great stuff!

I just had a little laugh to myself because when I read this post this is what I thought of immediatly. My little "Princess'" Halloween costume I made her and I had to show you. I think she looked so cute :

SOrry about the aweful pics, they were from my cell phone. I have made one in the past for my D5, but I don't know where the pics are right now. I used the pattern that was mentioned a few pages ago for toddlers that included Cinderella and another princess. As far as the dog, I just winged it and put it together myself. I am sure you could do that with the "pointy things" and the collar. Just get some heavy interfacing. If you were thinking more summer like I would just use some white cotton for the collar and some light pink for around the waist without the heavy interfacing. If you have any questions, maybe I could help, just ask.

Cute. A girl I know just asked me if I could teach her how to sew, and I was thinking we should do something like this to start. She has a son, so, I figured easy fit shorts and an applique to match. I am going to have to show her this. She will love it.

 

[candicenicole19]

Oh my gosh the Doggy and the outfit are SUPER cute! I LOVE it! I am thinking I am going to make my girls some princess dresses TODAY! lol, Off to sew!~

 

[Twins+2more]

This made me chuckle! i LOVE it I would so do that if my DH wouldn't kill me for dressing the dog up! Besides a 75lbs dog doesn't look as cute as little ones do dressed up. Though since her name is Daisy i have often thought about dressing her as Daisy Dog(Duck)for Halloween.

Cute. A girl I know just asked me if I could teach her how to sew, and I was thinking we should do something like this to start. She has a son, so, I figured easy fit shorts and an applique to match. I am going to have to show her this. She will love it.

Thanks! It was easy! I LOVe the Easy fit pants!

Your daughter is beautiful! The pictures turned out so cute. I wish I could get my daughter to look at the camera. She is always watching what is going on around her.

 

[kmbyoung94]

OMG!!! I love the doggie and outfit! My only girl doggie is a giant yellow lab named Abbie. She is such a ham. You did an amazing job.

 

[WyomingMom]

The pictures of the dog are too funny! I love it!

Cute football set! Where did you find that fabric? I think Connor would like some shorts made out of that!
