I use CS2 but want version 4. I know it is an expensive program and I am still not even skimming the surface of what the program can do.
I sure do hope you are ok. You are the most dedicated teacher ever to try so hard with a behavior. I sure do wish you would move out here and teach!
Wendy, you are so kind and loving a child in your life would be perfect. I would love to have you for a mom if you want a 50 yr old? JK!Hi Everyone,
Thank you all so much for your very kind words about being a mom - I actually will treasure those for a long time! I really think Im going to try to talk to DH more about it and see what happens....
Here is a purse I made for my MIL - Im not sure about the button - too big? use something different????
So about a year or so agoI bought this fabric and posted it not knowing what I would make with it, well I finally made something! Lily calls it her "Old Mikadonald" dress. She wore it to church today and I was walking past her classroom and heard them inside singing Old McDonald had a farm so she's workin' it! She loves that song.
Sarah, welcome and have a great trip. We did see Cindy at the Norway place and all the princesses. DH doesn't like the food there so we are going to do 1900 this time.Hello everyone!
I've been lurking for a while and enjoying seeing everyone's beautiful creations. I'm posting using my hubby's screen name, so I am the DW in his siggie! I love to sew for my kiddos, especially dd who is 6, and also smock and do embroidery. We are headed to WDW in 2 weeksand I am trying to work up a few last minute outfits.
I have smocked her a Cinderella dress to wear to Akershus, but just read yesterday that Cindy doesn't often appear there. (no biggie, since we will also be eating at 1900 PF, so she can wear it there) So I am looking to make her something else to wear that evening, but can't decide which princess to go with (she doesn't have a favorite--she likes them all!). Are there any who are there more often than others? I would love for her to have pictures with a princess in a matching dress!
And just one more question, I promise! I am also thinking of appliqueing a few Mickey head tees for DS (age3) and wondered if you all are digitizing those on your own or if the design is available for purchase somewhere. I know I can do them the "old fashioned way" with a satin stich, but the embroidered ones look so nice!
Thanks everyone--and thanks for sharing so many wonderful ideas!!
Sarah
Welcome home, we are all waiting for the trip report! Sorry it was so hot already.Hi! I'm back.We had a great time but it was really HOT! The heat was exhausting.
I'm still waiting for my hotfix supplies to come in the mail, but when they do, I designed this and I'm hoping to put this in rhinestones on the tank top:
I'm having a lot of fun making hotfix patterns. If the Cirque shirts turn out okay I want to do these for Hoop de Doo:
Question for you guys - Im making a big give Chip and Dale outfit, and think I just want to go for a white shirt since the shorts are colorful, and I dont want it to look like pj's - do you think I need to put something on the shirt or will plain be okay? I also tried making a scrunchie since she doesnt wear bows - this is for Andrea.....
I posted this on the Fabric Swap thread too but ----
For those ladies in the south Jersey area - I went to a fabric store in Vineland on Landis Ave - "The Pincushion" it has TONS of fabric, I almost fainted. They even had Wizard of Oz prints - like 6 of them. McDonalds fry kids, princess purple toile, blue & red winnie the pooh toile, garfield, Beatles, Scooby Doo, Cabbage Patch Kids, a black Buzz Lightyear - I can't even remember them all - I found a 101 Dalmations print! Plus they had the same print in a flannel too. I think I found my new favorite fabric store!And the ladies were sooooo helpful. It was great!
Wendy I love your bag you made your MIL and this fabric is adorable! I saw it online but I wasnt sure if it would be ok quality wise....I have hesitated buying stuff from Asia....would you do it again? I saw a seller on ebay who sells tons of disney stuff!!! Was the fabric stinky at all after you washed it? I love your tri-color shorts! Maybe you could cut out 2 or 3 chip n dales in the different color fabric (just a circle around the chipmunk) and heat and bond them to the white tee???? That might tie them together???
I have a Fancy Nancy fan in my house and I need to know where you got that fabric at?Okay here is the Fancy Nancy dress I threw together yesterday morning, I know not very fancy..... DD saw the fabric Friday night and was jumping up and down in excitement, she loves Fancy Nancy. She begged for me to make her a fancy nancy dress and since I knew how impatient she would be I just made a real simple Carla C Simply Sweet dress. I still have a lot of the fabric left, so I will make something a little more "fancy" later, especially since I saw some cute appliques on stitch on time. Here is the dress I made for now, DD still loves it which is all that matters I guess.
Sorry the picture isn't great, I should have taken a picture when I first put it on her, but I barely finished it before we needed to leave yesterday. By the time we got home she was tired and had a little dot of ice cream on the dress and was sweaty and wrinkled. She wants to wear it to preschool tomorrow so maybe I can get a new picture in the morning. Also ignore the wrap on her head, she had a costume in the mail from daddy when we got home and wouldn't take it off her head for a picture.
This is the iron I'm saving my pennies for... http://www.oliso.com/iron/index.php
