Yup--that is the one I go to! Small world! Does she work in the fabric department? If so, what is her name? I know most of the ladies in there. Dana was working today and she was the one that told me the sad news

MIL works either front end or jewelery. I may have to ask her to go with me to get the sales and possibly her discount. We will be driving down that way next weekend to visit the IL's for a few days.

Sorry to be posting hog but I just learned how to do something else with help from Dom who makes the Star Wars shirts. He taught me how to place a character or picture into each letter.

Ok, back to more names. This is a blast and if anyone would like their name please just let me know as I need the practice.

Ok, I am starting on the charmy euro skirt from you can make this. I need two charm packs for the skirt, now here is the stupid question, would you guys wash your charm packs first, I just hate the idea of washing and ironing 66 pieces of fabric. Thanks !!

Hello everyone! I am new here , I have only been a member a few days and I figured I should introduce myself. My name is Kenderly, I have been sewing for years although I still feel like a novice as I have alot to learn. I have two girls and a baby on the way that is due in November. We are a big time Disney loving family and go every year! I am right now in the planning process of making my girls cutesy outfits for our Disney World trip in July. I look forward to meeting new people here !

We do not get our discount on clearance items.

April- IM in a pinch - any chance you'd want to try JAMES with Curious George in the letters? Im making him some pants, and they are bright blue, yellow and red.....if not, totally okay!!!

How do you get the letters to have that look of depth?

No, don't wash them first. They are all cut and they will fray. You'll lose a bunch of your fabric and seam allowance to fraying. Just sew 'em up, as is.

So many lovely things posted. I need to go back and quote and comment on them. Will try to find time later!

Wendy,

Let me go find the wallpaper and I will do it this week! Thank you for giving me a project to practice. No promises on it being great but I will my very best.
You are sweet to ask and trust me to do this.

BTW, how is our little man Daniel doing lately? He is such a good fighter! Let him know we pray and believe he will be better. Does he want a shirt?

I found the Pooh fabric at our Hancock fabrics.

That's cool! Hopefully I won't have bought all the fabric by then I am freaking out! I need to go get more, I think. What a drive! Be careful!

Welcome to this addiction! Try youcanmakethis.com for some great patterns! I learned to sew completely from that site and a little instruction from DH's seamstress aunt and now I have a business sewing custom clothes.

Here's the doll dress I finished for dd last night. I used the scrap material from one of the skirts I'd made for her during our Nov trip.

I see you tried Zyrtec and Clairinex. I so hate Zyrtec! OMg it changed my little boy!!!!! He was on it since he was about 18 months and the dr even upped his doesage as he got a bit older because it wasn't helping and the poor kid was on 10 mg at 3.5 along with 3 other meds for allergies etc. then we took him off the other meds after we ended up having his tonsils removed because they where interfering with his breathing and just left him on zyrtec. Well we were about to start testing him for learning disabilities around the same time some one suggested trying another allergy med and OMG I had a different boy!

We had a similar experience with Zyrtec. Luckily I wasn't giving it to him everyday (even though I was supposed to, I just gave it to him when his symptoms were really bad). When I mentioned to the pediatrician that he was a different child when taking Zyrtec, he said that his son had the same reaction! HELLO!!??!, why are you prescribing it then?

Can't wait to see what you come up with! And may I say, you are my hero for doing WDW in JULY...pregnant!!!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Parents of kiddos with allergies: I've done the Zyrtec thing and didn't love it either. We have found the Benedryl Allergy/Sinus works for Aisling's allergy headaches BUT it knocks her out. She's going to camp in June and we are trying to figure out what to give her. I'm going to try Alavert (which is the exact same thing as Claritin)...has anyone tried either for their kiddos?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Wendy, Here you go. Please tell me if you want me to change the drop shadow colour or the picture in the J. I will fix it to what you want.

Thanks for the practice!

Do you mean like this:

Yep, EXACTLY like that! That is awesome. I don't know if I'm talented enough to just wing it, how hard was it?

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your tips on the Rompers - Im going to make one for a 3 month old - lots a diaper changes - so snaps, right? Boy that snap tape was $$!! Do you alter the pattern in any way or ?????? start at one cuff go up and around and down the other leg??? Any pictures out there to show me???

Praying for those with severe weather!!!!

The pattern I used was set up for snaps, so no alterations. I did just take the snap tape up the legs. If you end up hating snap tape (I do), I've used regular snaps, but you have to double up the fabric and I always put interfacing between the layers.

I bought a plastic Nemo shower curtain for $5 at 5Below, thinking to do something like this or a carry bag. We had a clear bag last year, and they just wave you through security.

This is a great idea! My Joann's has plastic Pooh table cloth material (just like a shower curtain) that I could make one out of. How hard was it to sew with the plastic?
