[emcreative]

Wow! We're all pretty close to each other!!!!!

Do you remember how long it took you to get yours if you did the site to home shipping?

Site to home, and I think I did the 2-3 day shipping but got it in 2 days?

HannahDiva loves this too...though for SOME reason she thinks it would be better with an "H" on it...\

Okay ladies, what about this for Phineas for his breakfast at Crystal Palace? the shirt will only be worn for breakfast because after that we all turn into PIRATES!

That is SOOO SOOO cute!!

I've been making these for a little over a year now.

(This is a bad picture. It was not stitched at all, let alone double stitched like I normally do. It's not even the same clip I use now. This was just an example of one of the designs I do.)

I just came across this ribbon today.

(pictures borrowed from Ebay)

What do yout think?!? I can't wait to make some with it! I'm thinking of making some key fobs out of this, too!!

WOAH!! I love the paci holder and the ribbon - do you mind PMing me the seller info??? Where do you get those clips for the paci holder??

Thanks for the positive responses on the Pooh iron-on. I put his "new" name and an image of Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Roo jumping in a circle holding hands on the back.

LOL Last trip, doing all those iron ons felt like SO much work...now I feel like I'm cheating!

Okay, I know this topic has been going around for a while, but I have a few quick questions before I go out and by this.
I inherited a Bernina Deco 500 (or 550) Embroidery Machine from my SIL's MIL (long story). I haven't actually used this yet - too busy making outfits and figuring out my serger!! Anyway, it takes those little memory cards, so I can't hook up directly to my computer, but I of course love the embroidery designs I see on here.
I found a website that has the PED basic with a card for $119. It says it works on Bernina Deco, and that you must have the files in PES. The Deco has two different sizes of hoops, although I am not sure of their exact sizes. Does anybody use anything like this?? I could just buy, for example a HeatherSue design, transfer it to the card and sew it out??
Also, does anyone know where you can get this cheaper? I thought someone said they got theirs at JoAnns with a 40% coupon??

Thanks for the help!!

After a week of waiting anad waiting and waiting for my ruffler foot to come in, I took a needle, thread, and lots and lots of pins to my son's therapy appoihntment today. I hand gathered...yes, that's right, HAND gathered two of CarlC's stripwork jumpers....(my grandmother would be so proud!)....


Get home this afternoon, and guess what is in my mail??? That's right...my ruffler foot!


Oh well...Happy mama!

oops...I bought single fold bias tape today. How do you sew that on to trim a skirt or can't you? That tutorial that someone posted a few days ago doesn't seem to work for this.

(((hugs))) I'm sorry Nini, but I'm glad I'm not the only one with that kinda luck. Thank you for not making me feel so alone!

Goodness, that IS a bad day! I can't help with the ruffler but I hope your toe feels better soon!

Would you guys like to know what I did today? Remember my scrapbooking desk?

Now it looks like this:

The worst part was trying to sort random pictures and figure out when they were taken. I will STAY organized this time, I swear!

I also finished a family book (I only had December left to do):

Only 2 and a half years to go!

You're still miles ahead of me LOL; love the organized desk, it looks great!

Just watched someone's hilarious home video of a DW trip...one of the oldest kids in the group has a shirt (while everyone else's is matching) that says "I Don't Do Matching Shirts" IT IS HILARIOUS! Of course now hubby wants one. I so totally have to do this now...thought I'd let y'all know in case you have a stick in the mudd, too....

That is too funny!

Ok So this is another pattern that I just got off of YCMT.
This was the first time making it so please no jokes...

(NOTE I need to cut off the threads that are hanging out)

Love the fabrics; she looks adorable

Ok
ok. I'm sorry. My internet is down, hopefully I'll have it back up on Fri. And I promise lots of pictures. But first things first. The new princess has a name. It was awful being under the gun of the vital statistics office.
Her name is Violet. Violet Cincinnati.

And she is LOVELY! She has a touch of jaundice so we are nursing constantly and mom would like a nap but otherwise we are both well. She is a bit fussier than my other 2 were. She certainly had been acting like the youngest even since the false alarms!

Thank you all for your well wishes and concern. I love this thread!!!

Welcome Princess Violet!!!!

The Vida is a piece of cake.

I had to laugh about the babies customs. I swear if I ever had another baby that would be me. LOL



I love the name Violet. It is beautiful. I really love classic girly girl names. My oldest has an unusual middle name. It's Cheek. It is a family name and I love it. We call her Cheekies.




Fantasmic is intense but I firmly believe it is the best attraction Disney has. My kids have always loved it. We just reminded them that Mickey saves the day.

Check this out for the crystal palace. http://stitchontime.com/osc/product_info.php?products_id=1861 It also comes in 4x4.

Here is my DD's latest tank. If anyone does not know she is slightly NBC obsessed.

That set is fabulous!

Here are some Carla C's stripwork jumpers I've been working on.
This one I made first and did it very quickly when DD expressed the desire for a 4th of July dress for her doll. I used a smocked insert that I got off of ebay a couple of years ago. I didn't get it centered, but this was the first sewing I'd done in a few years.
The gingham I used was too thin, I think. I should have used a thicker lining and maybe the top of the bodice wouldn't have been so wonky. This was the first stripwork jumper I had tried and was scared to add the ruffle!

Here are the jumpers I've worked on this week while my children are with their grandparents. These will be a surprise for DD! Thanks again for all the advice on the gathering of the ruffle!

Now, I want to make matching nightgowns for DD and her doll using an extended portrait peasant top, a stripwork jumper using the Michael Miller Dick and Jane fabric for the first day of homeschool co-op, not to mention customs for DW in September: a stripwork princess jumper with a smocked inset of a glass slipper, a stripwork jumper with minnie dots, a zebra print twirl skirt with matching mouse ears applique, a smocked insert tee for DS with Aladdin and Genie, a couple of mouse ears appliqued tees, and maybe some bowling shirts for DS. I also found some aqua fabric with darker aqua mickey heads on them and some aqua gingham, so I'll come up with something to use for that. Maybe portrait peasant and the easy-fit pants for DD and shorts and a bowling shirt for DS? I think the sewing bug has bitten me! So many projects, so little time!

Great job! I love the matching stripworks! And your project list sounds like mine LOL.

here is my newest creation. Roseanna is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to wear this one to school. SHe hasn't taken it off since I finished it

I love this, I love this, I love this, I love this!

HannahDiva loves this too...though for SOME reason she thinks it would be better with an "H" on it...\

Okay ladies, what about this for Phineas for his breakfast at Crystal Palace? the shirt will only be worn for breakfast because after that we all turn into PIRATES!

I think it;s great!

Is this the same fabric you guys were looking for?? I don't think it is, but just checking.

Ooooooohhhhh, I really, really HAVE to get that; where'd you find it?

 

[bear_mom]

Hmm...off the top of my head, how about either 1) including the name of their doll on the invitations, for example "Sally and Josephina" OR, sending a separate little invitation to the doll (sent from your daughter's doll) along with one for the girl from your daughter? I'm guessing you're just going to do a "general" American girl party, but if your daughter has one of the period dolls, maybe the invitation could be personalized around that?

Smaller plates and everything for the dolls would be cute, too.

A general idea might be something like this?

I love the idea of the second invitation for the dolls!

Thanks!

Been a bad girl again. 2 days ago I purchased the Precious dress and bucket hat. Had a pin for a little discount, so not bad.....welll....today, I decided I had to have the Vida pattern. So, I ordered it. Hopefully, dh won't be too mad that I spent $30 in the past 2 days on patterns!

I did score some free fabric at moms today. She has been too busy to sew, so she told me take what I needed. She had the blue fabric I need for the Alice dress I am going to make! YAH! Now I have a pattern and material! About ready to sew. And I took some muti colored polka dot material that will work with her birthday outfit!

And some really good news! I came home yesterday and checked the mail to find 4 1 day PH's fof Disney! Yep! I guess since I worked for Disney store at some point this year I still get my free tickets! WOOHOO! Now we have 7 days worth of tickets and 3 of those days are free! We are going to stay through Sun evening and then stop somewhere near the beach off of 95 on the way home. An extra day of vacation!!!

Now that I have a craft for dds American Girl party, any one of you creative ladies have an idea for invitations?

Emily

How about making a paper (or fabric) sleeping bag with a pillow on it (either out of paper or just glue a flat piece of fabric for the pillow). Inside the sleeping bag insert a cut out cardstock paper doll (as best you get to resemble an AG) and put the time/date/details on the doll. The recipient would slide the paper doll out of the sleeping bag to read the invite.

That is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO adorable. Really nice pictures, too.

 

[Rebecuberduber]

Man, I wish kids dressed for school like this, here. This is a roll out of bed, maybe brush hair on a good day, then go straight to school kinda city. It's sad, for me, who loves to dress up my little punkins.

Really good news! I'm so happy for you.

Haven't been sewing but I did find picures from our March 2007 Disney Cruise so I have been working on them. It is so funny to try to scrapbook pictures from so long ago.

I do go to JoAnn's and forgot to look at the sissix stuff (doh!) but they had the stacks for 40% off so I bought three (eek!). I looked at the fabric but the line was so long with only one lady cutting that I put stuff back.

 

[ncmomof2]

I love it! And your daughter is adorable and a great poser!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Who is the one who made the mickey cupcake applique to buy? And how do I find the website???? Help!

 

[ncmomof2]

Here is what I have been working on yesterday and today. Thank you Lisa for the tip about serging, then iron, then stitch for a hem! It made the hem on the ruffle so much easier. I cased the idea of using the minnie dot fabric with a tiered dress like this. Oh, and this is the first time I did buttons. I put them on the back so they would not mess anything up. I am glad I finally tried it! Next up, a zipper!

A little bit of twirl:

Thanks for all the great comments on the patchwork dress!

 

[emcreative]

Where in Alaska do you live? It's my favorite state. My family spent 4 weeks exploring it when I was in college. If it wouldn't be so far away from family I'd move there in a heartbeat. My 4 dogs (3 husky mixes and 1 purebred husky, all rescued) would LOVE it there!
