Have ya'll found this fabric yet or the name of who makes it?
Wondering... is it a japanese cotton or no? I have been checking out the Kawaii sites and am seeing some really cool snow white, alice in wonderland and other stuff but not this print. I can continue to look but was wondering if you already found it. Let me know, I will continue to gander through the zillion fabric swatches.
I would love to see these Kawaii sites and see if Judy can order them in the coop i am in.
That is so cute! I made a minnie dress 2 years ago, and couldn't find pink with big white dots anywhere. I made the dots one by one.. boy did I hate that dress by the time it was finished! I appliqued each of them with the embroidery machine.
Toadstool- The closest places are in Baton Rouge.
I've never been fabric shopping in Baton Rouge. I bet yall have more than one Joann and Hancocks huh? I should go shopping!!! okay.. maybe in a few months.
I was so sad when Old Fashioned Baby closed down. I have never been and I heard her shop was awesome.
As Shannon said, these are a printed pattern only. I will say that most people I've ordered from online are very prompt to ship so it's usually not more than 4-5 days from purchase. Still, when you're in the mood to create NOW, it's hard to wait.
Fabritopia ships really fast! I got my Feliz in 2 days after she shipped it. I was thrilled with her. I think she is going to be my go to for Euro patterns. I hate waiting 4-5 days. 2 was much better.
No, but it's a close second! Where is it?
etsy! It looks like she only has a small piece of it. I hope someone buys it so we can steal the name off the selvage.
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!
Can't wait to see pictures!
Update. I did not have any of the spray adhesive. I have tried it in the past and it was a mess. Got on the hoops and would not come off. I did have some of the wonder-under and it worked great. I cut the fabric out a little larger then the design and ironed the wonder under on the back. Did the trace. Peeled the backing off. Put fabric down. Did Tack down. Trimmed. Ironed fabric (in hoop) to shirt. Then did the outline. So far so good.
Thank you ladies for all of the advice. You are all so great. Now that I have it down. (I have been practicing on old shirts) I am going to try the real thing in the morning. If everything goes good I will post pictures tomorrow.
I use fusible web under the pieces of applique when I have the time. I think it makes the designs come out better. Just wanted to say that you'd probably have better luck stitching on t shirts with fusible poly mesh or some sort of cut away at least. I'd use a topping on it as well.
www.rnkdistributing.com has a workbook on stabilizers that is really great.
I wanted to share some pictures of Gracie at the American Girl Boutique & Bistro in Atlanta. We went last month during a visit with family.
She is so precious!!!
We're going back in September and here is a sneak peek at some of the new customs I have for the trip. There will be too many for that trip but we will have seasonal passes so I plan to do lots of day trips. We may go back for a weekend in October, definitely a day trip in Nov. for my birthday, sometime in December and we are taking Gracie for at least a day on her 4th birthday in January. How can she be closing in on 4?
I have a few others on the way too.
Gorgeous!! I am jealous! I wish I could buy all those customs.. I'd never sew that type of clothing again. Euro is my least favorite to sew. She looks like a little doll. You have great taste!
Aimee, you did the steamboat one too? I love the NBC one. Unforunately it scares my DD. I really want to case you.. lol
I think that Fabric is on Etsy... I found it when I was doing my search for the other one. Actually the print is what led me to the overseas distributors as the seller is from Japan.
But... maybe there is another source for it. Do tell because I have been cruisin' swatches until I fall asleep. LOL
Yep, etsy! if we could get the selvage info we could probably order it somewhere!
Ok, so these are TERRIBLE pics! They are actually from video but Jerry had my camera in the car today so this was all I had..lol..I'll take some better pics tomorrow. I FINALLY finished her Nemo outfit. After many a seam rip...lol...it's done! This is my 1st patchwork twirl. Now that I know what to do, it'll go a lot faster next go around.
That is really cute! Love all of the tiers!
My Diamond fell out of my wedding ring
I was cleaning the carpet last night and I took my ring off but I didnt notice it was gone unil this morning when I went to put it on.
Oh no!
When I lose something small like that I vacuum with my water vac and then strain the water in a strainer will small holes. I lose everything, so have experience with that. I haven't lost my diamonds yet though.. you poor girl! Let us know if you find them. I would be so happy for you!
I'm so sorry
That happened to me about two weeks after The Husband and I got engaged...I was erm...sitting on the throne and HEARD it "drop". Then when I saw it, there was a missing corner! They had set it CHIPPED! GAH! They of course replaced it.
I did get a new one.
Earlier this year, not very long after Phineas moved in with us, he "moved" my wedding ring somewhere. It was custom made and cannot be replaced. We still haven't found it.
I hope you find yours!!!!!
Hannah took my engagement ring off the nightstand while we were on vacation once. She was probably almost 2 years old. We called the hotel and they claimed they didn't find it. We drove all the way back to the hotel and DH went in the room looking for it, and he found it in the closet. He is sure Hannah did it because she was awfully quiet and playing in the closet while we were packing.. I am so luck y to have found it. The room had already been cleaned! I hope you find yours. Those little shiny things are so tempting to them!
I've been so wrapped up in getting ready for the trip, I just realized when I posted and the tickers caught my eye...three weeks from tomorrow Phineas and Ferb will be my sons, officially, forever, and always!
Thanks..but it's been quite a few months so I've kinda lost hope. Maybe when we take everything out to move?
I think maybe Phin was just trying to tell us he was here to stay. When my husband had the wedding band made, he had three stones placed in it- one for each of the girls, as he was "marrying" ALL of us and we were ALL becoming a family:
So maybe Phin knew something we didn't and he wasn't going anywhere, so he was telling us we needed to go get one with FIVE stones now!
Haha.. that is a cute way to make better of the situation. Your ring is gorgeous!!! Very classy! I forgot to mention that my DH has had his ring lost for several months now. He is convinced Hannah took that one too. You'd think he had learned his lesson with my ring getting taken by the little caper, but no!
I had a jeweler come up with the best idea for my wedding ring; because of my autoimmune problems my fingers swell up too, and there is over a size difference (almost 2, actually). But I really love my wedding ring, so he sized it up to the maximum point, and then put a "spring" band inside of it, where it's not seen. When my fingers are less swollen, they come in towards the center, making the ring smaller, but when my fingers are more swollen, they give off to the sides, expanding the ring size (if that makes any sense) All I know is, my ring used to not fit most of the time, and now it fits all the time!
Oh wow! That is such a great idea. The medication I am taking makes me swell like a baloon. My face is swollen and my hands are swollen. I'm hoping I can find a jeweler who knows about this spring band. I would love to get one! I don't want to have my ring resized again.
My embroidery machine is in the shop. Oh how I miss it so. It started making loops, and I figured there was a thread suck in there somewhere. It needed to be serviced anyhow. The needle randomly falls out while I am stitching designs. I can screw that screw in there as tightly as possible and it will still just fall out sometimes. DH thinks the screw is stripped. Hopefully that is all it is. I break tons of needles because of this. I'm hoping to get some smocking done this weekend because of this. I actually lost the last insert I pleated. Did I mention I lose things? what a bad thing to lose. I remember picking it up, and can't remember where. It was finished except for a few rows of backsmocking.. this is why you have not seen the hula dress. I hope I find it so I can make the dress!!!
Oh, and I am making my first simply sweet. I hope I like it.. I have gone on and ona bout how I don't know if I will like it. I finally got some cheap fabric, and will test it out on that. It is hard going from heirloom patterns to things with no buttons... really it is.
Is there anything else I can use??? I have stabilizer; double stick fusible web; and some kind of fusible padding like thing, but alas no fusible interfacing like I thought
