Hello all, I have been lurking the DIS boards for about a month now, found it while researching my upcoming trip to WDW, and have read so many of your posts from the Disboutiquers. I just thought that this is the perfect place to have my first post placed since you all seem so wonderful!! I am a SAHM of 3 with DS 5 (almost) DD 3 and DD 9 months. We are a Homeschooling Army family. We are currently at Ft. Bliss Texas in Windy, Dry, El Paso and have been here about 6 months.
I am horrible about how often I have pulled out my sewing machine in the last couple of moves (5 stations in 6 years) So I am hoping we stay here long enough to actually unpack all of my stuff, yes I am slow at unpacking! But I am going home to my DM and DMIL On Monday for two weeks, YAH, so I called and asked if they would help me or at least let me borrow there awesome equipment, so we can get a couple of simple dresses made for our kids first trip to WDW in July. Also at least a pair of shorts for my son. They are also both going to WDW with us and so is my soon to be step-father, My Grandma, My Grandpa, One Niece, My Aunt, and my Step-sister who is a great babysitter (Date Night here I come!!) So I am thinking if possible maybe simple Grand Gathering shirts or something also.
I hope to start making some clothing for my children and be able to post them here for you all to see and hopefully have some constructive critisicm PLEASE, I am sure I will need all the help I can get. I have not really sewn anything except patches on uniforms in at least 8 years. And 8 years ago I was not very good and pretty limited to doll stuff, blankets, and pillows/pillowcases. So this will be a new adventure.
Sorry to ramble on but I just wanted to say hi, and introduce myself to a group of people who really seem to be so great together.
Thanks
