Not cheap ($7.95) and the auction is for 1 yard but it says if more yardage is needed to please contact the seller, so if you get stuck maybe this will work. Good luck on your hunt.

I hope this works. First Link :yay:

But it's only price per a "fat quarter"

A lot of places seem to be sold out!

(this is almost $9 a yard, ouch)

I found it online but I was wondering if anyone could fine it at their local craft store it might be cheaper. If not I will just have to pay the gasp 7.99 a yard.

No I thought joanns had it. When I went back it was gone.:sad1: I took the pic off :wizard:E***so I could ask you all for help.
 

Well, since I made the Cinderella dress with the pillowcase for a Birthday present last week I have had requests from others to purchase them. Here are 2 I did for ladies I work with. The jumper style one is for our receptionists 7 yr old daughter, and the halter style for the bookkeepers 3 yr old granddaughter.


Very cute!

Good morning all I am loving all the new things. You really make it hard for me to sew and keep up here. It's almost like you have to do one or the other.

I am writing to beg for help. I need atleast 2 yards of this fabric if i can get three that would be better.

I am headed to Joann's today. I can look for you!

:yay::woohoo::yay::woohoo::yay:

I'm SO HAPPY for you!


hi all , i am sorry to do such a quick post but my dd mia has been admitted to the hospital and she is most likely diabetic. we went in yesterday morning and it has been very stressful. i had signed up to do crayon rollups for josabbi give. but with the circumstances i didnt finish them. i asked a friend to log in as me on the other board and send a pm, not sure if it worked havent spokent to her. if anyone could help out i think heather is the coordinator. unfortunately the ship date is tomorrow. sorry for the trouble. so sorry i could nt finish them. thanks all. if you wouldnt mind please send up prayers for my mimi she isnt even three and this is such a difficult thing . thanks kim
Thanks everyone for the thoughts and prayers for mia. we are home from the hospital earlier than expected. originally they told us a week but let us out today after 3 days. mia went in with a blood sugar of 269 which was taken at the drs office, she also had sugar in her urine. when we got to the hospital she had normal blood sugar levels but elevated sugars in her urine. that resolved eventually also. so they did some fancy tests the first one came back good so that is how we escaped today. we are still waiting on others that take 2-3 weeks so right now it is a wait and see thing with frequent visits to our pediatricians ( who we love) so right now she is not diagnosed with diabetes, but it is not ruled out either. my dh calls it our own episode of house.(but i dont like being part of a medical mystery) thanks again for all the prayers and support and a special thanks to piper for taking over the rollups for me.:grouphug:


Linnette sent me a message today that she is feeling very depressed. Her family is in desperate need of prayers and well wishes. Tomorrow is going to be a very tough for them all. So please say a prayer that everything will turn out well.


My Granny was sent home from the nursing home this last week. (She is the one that had the stroke). We are still trying to figure out how and why she was sent home. My mom has been taking care of her, but my mom works full time. She has a nurse during the day. Granny can't really do much of anything for herself. So last night, she went back to the ER. Not sure what was going on...her heart rate was up, her sugar was way out of wack...

The DR at the ER asked why she was not in the nursing home...ummm....that is what we all want to know! So we are hopeful we will get her back in the home...the DR said he will do all he can. So please pray for her again....I know all the prayers here help!:goodvibes

Praying for everyone who asked for prayers, and those that didn't but are not feeling 100%.


Crystal,
Because you asked for it, here is my new hair cut. It is a lob but DS didn't get the picture of the back very well. He did great with the front picture.

April, love you haircut! It's very flattering on you. Your dress also turned out great.

Why are you'll so chatty on days I have to sew! I have not really been taking real computer breaks minus the 10 secs here and there and I just had to scroll through a zillion pages!

The pooh quilt is so cute! What a great job for your first quilt and applique! Quite a large project to tackle, especially being so pregnant!

I went through one whole spool of elastic trying to shir. I was trying to shir through 3 layers and wondered if that made a difference. I have a spool left but haven't had the time to even think about it again.

I can do an iron on though! I can even walk while changing my shirt and Disney World and no one notice!
I finished the most adorable dress today and can't wait to share pictures! it will be a while though! Got a few more to go so back to the machine!

:scared1::rotfl2:


Just wanted to let you babywearer fans know I took the plunge and ordered a baby hawk tonight.


Please say a prayer for my friend Dionne- she is pregnant too, due about 5 days before me, she was having irregular contractions, and she went in, but they sent her home, now they are inducing her tomorrow because they are concerned about amount of fluid/baby size.

My baby hawk mei tei's were my favorite babycarriers. I still have one I can't part with; one side had day of the dead fabric on it.

Praying for your friends, and you and all the other expecting mommies too.


All the clothes and projects posted in the past 100 posts are super cute!!! Sorry I couldn't comment on each one or I'd never catch up with this fast moving group.

Hi to all the newbies who came out of lurkdom. :flower3:
 
Hi All this is my first post on Disboutiquers although I must admit I have been lurking and getting ideas for at least a year and a half. I even had someone come up to me at EPCOT and ask if I was on the tread because my girls were wearing the dresses I made for them after getting inspiration here. So now I am finally posting (mostly because it took me this long to figure out how to post pictures LOL:rotfl2:)

I got this super fabric from billwendy (thanks )there wasn't enough left to make both DDs a dress so I improvised. These are still works in progress and I need advice on what to add next I am thinking a strip around the bottom and a v tie but I'm not sure. I just know it needs something.

The front:

The back (the red is not sewn on only pinned so I can change it):
100_4548.jpg


Thanks for any help suggestions you can offer

I think I would def. add a ruffle around the bottom and some kind of straps. Just to be able to tie all the fabrics together. here is a pic of what I did with a similar fabric.

??? I wanted to make bloomers for my 11 month old. The kind that are just mainly a diaper cover. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on a tutorial or a pattern?? I was thinking of maybe trying to do a easy fit shorts but with no leg and putting small elastic at the leg opening..... Does anyone think this might work. I would rather have my dd diaper covered in the dresses I make.
:confused3

I think I saw that the other day at our local quilt store...I remember my ds saying."Yum..cupcake with sprinkles"...and if I remember correctly, it is priced at $9.50/yard.
 
:laundy:I am waiting for my sheets to finish in the wash so I was able to upload a few pics to photobucket! :cool1:

We had a great time in florida I spent alot of time with my family. Both services were very nice and my Mom and Sister with baby Abby were able to fly down. It was very special to have the whole family there.
I am thinking of posting a little Trip report on our time. :confused3

So The girls and I are going to find Tyler and Terry after riding the teacups, and I see this woman who looks just like Teresa Joy, So we get alittle closer and I noticed Corey then Brian and the girls! :scared1: I really didnt want to act like a total freak so I was just a little bit of a dork and I said" I know you from Dis boards I am a disboutiquer" We talked for a few minutes and Corey and Arminda took pictures for us.

I might be wrong, but I believe that is how Nicole did the bloomers that she made to go with the A-Line dress that she made and posted a couple of pages back.

Okay I know I lost some quotes...
I sort of did a play off the "bloomer" idea. I made the Aline top and "bloomer shorts" a few pages back- that was for my neice (turning 2yrs, and is 32" tall) who wears a size 3 in the Aline and size 2 in the Easy Fit- I measured it to 16" and then used 1/4" elastic, about 1 and 1/2" up from bottom edge, using the "basic pant" this means the whole thing should fall just above her knee- sort of a Raggedy Ann look.
You CAN shorten it all the way up to the crotch line, insert your elastic right at the edge of your hem, I would suggest using thin elastic fo course. You can also finish the leg hem (they will look like daisy dukes), then stretch your elastic as you sew a zig zag over it, when its released it will automatically gather.

OR...you can try this pattern- a diaper cover

I ran some errands early this afternoon and all day I have been having what I assume to be stronger braxton hicks stuff, with more pressure, I know some girls get these for days so Im not getting too excited at this point. But I did pull out Megan's little suitcase to at least get it started.
Im not in the mood to sew...naptime!!
 
Thank you all for your prayers! THEY WORKED!!!!!

Mom just called and Granny is doing better and we were able to get her back into the nursing home (the one near my mom) and Granny could not be happier about it! All the doctors agreed that she needed to be there and one DR even wrote a letter to Social Services on her behalf...without being asked or telling us....we found out from her social worker! We are so happy and now my mom can relax! THANKS again to all of you for you kind words and prayers!

Great news!

My sewing attempt so far has not been so great.

Okay - first off, I did read the applique instructions from the link on page 1 and printed them out. They are wonderful. I bought heat n bond and when I started my practice mickey head, I realized I bought Heat n bond Interfacing. What in the world can I do with that?

I went back to the store yesterday and bought the Heat N bond lite.

I cut out a small Mickey head and put it on an old tshirt of dds. I used the Sulky stabilizer. I did some practice stitches then went around the mickey head. It looks pitiful. I seriously think my 2nd grader could have done just as well :rotfl2: I had a problem with staying on the edge because I couldn't see the edge due to my presser foot. Now, the instructions showed an applique presser foot, but my sewing machine instructions on the applique page show the regular foot being used. I looked at the optional foots that will fit the sewing machine and an applique foot was not listed. Then I saw that one of them is called a Satin stitch presser foot. I remembered reading somewhere that this stitch is called a satin stitch. So I found a clear satin stitch presser foot online and ordered it. So hopefully that will come soon and I can practice my applique again.

Shew ---- that was an earful. Sorry to ramble.

Last night I started my dd's pirate shorts. I am just adding some pirate fabric to the bottom of her shorts. It took me over an hour to do one leg.(Don't laugh, but my sewing skills require that I read the manuel everytime I sew. Maybe I need to sew more often.) On the plus side, it looks much better than the pair I did for her last year. :rotfl2:

Thank You:) I really hope your Braxton's ease up so you can be comfortable!! And packing the bag is probably A good idea. You never know how quick it may come on! I only had a bag packed for 1 out of 3 of mine. Of course he was my first and I had been packed since about 20 weeks pregnant, I was slightly excited :laughing: We tried for almost 5 years for him.

That is exactly how I make mine. . . basically d on't add any to the leg :)
 
Hello Everyone!! I am a long time lurker, like for over a year now. Just haven't taken the time to jump on board with you guys. You all move along so quickly!! After finding this thread I was inspired to start sewing. So, over the last year I have improved some, still no where as awesome as you guys are.

This is my latest creating Carla's Precious Dress

Matching Bow - still working on getting down the bow making process.
DanceComp-KayDress015.jpg


I do have a question!! :confused3
I haven't ever sewn for anyone else, but a teacher at my children's school asked that I make her girls a pair of easy fit pants and a T-shirt with a applique on it. Where would I begin to figure out how much to charge her for something like that? She is going to provide the t-shirts. Can someone please PM me and give me an idea where to start in figuring out a price. TIA

Lee Ann
