That would be PERFECT, and I am ready to spend that if I have to, but the youth 1 and 6 doesn't look promising.... I think I need a 2 or 3. She might be able to squeeze into the 1, but at that price, I want something that will fit for a bit. They would be very pretty at Christmas too....

I'll measure her foot when she gets home from VBS tonight and call in the AM.

Is it just me??????????? Or are the shoe gods telling me to give up????

Many thanks again for everyone who's looking!

Never give up on shoes. That is sacrilege!

Is anyone making Personalized Retractable ID badge reels?

This is my sister's.

I have a cousin that is making them but I thought if I could find them cheaper, then I would buy elsewhere.

Thanks!

just doing a drive by to say Hi. I still work all day long and I am not having fun! I have made some adult bibs and I still need to finish another set of curtains.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Hi April -

Could you share your pattern with me - A friend asked me to make her teenaged sister some bibs out of hand towels...but im not sure how to do it!!!

Thanks, Wendy

mom2rtk YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was browsing your shop on etsy and WOW WOW WOW! that is all I have to say! That belle dress is STUNNING! I mean they all are, but my daughter was going CRAZY over that belle!!!!

I should probably post this on a BBB thread but.....

Those little crowns that they put on the bun in the BBB - how much are they usually? I found some on clearance and was wondering if I got a good buy. My nieces wanted to know what I was going to do with them and I told them while I sew I wear one to feel pretty...hehe They aren't really into Disney so they have no clue what the BBB is.....lol

Anyhoo - can someone tell me?

Thanks!

Thanks so much, I thought so but wasn't sure! I have been wanting to try that one but I am scared!

I just ordered that pattern your dresses are gorgeous!!! Am I correct: you use a "regular" sewing machine to applique (by "hand" ) versus an embrodery machine? You rock!!! And give hope to many! lol

OK, I really don't need much encouragement! I won't give up!!

Many thanks! Belle has been my biggest challenge. I have an all new one just about done for our fall trip. I'm really hoping for a little bit of birthday magic for my daughter!

Just wanting to issue a warning to all of my disboutique friends!!!!!!!!! I have been looking on craigslist for some time now for an embroidery machine. I would love an embroidery machine with a 6x10 field but can't afford one. Today there was one listed on the Dallas craigslist for a Bernina Artista 730E for $1000. When I checked out the specs and compared prices on ebay I realized it was a steal at that price. So I contacted the seller and they said they would mail it to me since they had now relocated to Toronto and would take payment from Western Union. So, of course, I now know it's a scam. Just disappointed that I can't get the machine. I knew immediately that it was a scam since it wanted payment through Western Union but just in case someone didn't know, don't fall for it!

And now my search continues for an embroidery machine. Although I think I'm going to buy the Brother PE700II machine that so many of you have on here. Other than the machine, what else will I need to use that machine initially (other than fabric, stabilizer, thread, etc.)? I am counting on becoming a great customer of Heather's so I'm not planning on digitizing my own designs, but what software would I need if I wanted to?

The little crown that goes on the bun is included with the bun hairstyle. If they choose the bun they get that crown a the multicolor mickey clips. I don't know if they sell that crown on it's, they do sell crowns, but I don't think I have seen that one for sale on it's own.

I have the Brother PE700II, it has a USB port so you don't need any software if you want to buy and use Heather's designs. So you would just need the things you listed and probably a good pair of applique scissors.

I've noticed this scam on ebay as well. They offer a machine and say to contact them, when you do, they try to sell you a fabulous machine for next to nothing. They want you to western union the money. I'm almost certain that it's a scam.

As far as what you'll need - stabilizer of all types. I use cut away the most. Fusible cutaway for tshirts.

for digitizing, I own Embird. It does cost several hundred dollars by the time you add all of the different parts, and it is not really easy to learn. But it is cheaper than a lot of software.

Hi Y'all.

Who remembers several weeks ago, Carla showed us a tease of her new patterns for ladies? It was a short sleeved dress, looked like elastic arount the neckline and under the bust. She said she was working on it, but she was headed out of town for the weekend or a few days? Anyway, I've been waiting for her to release the pattern, but I haven't seen it yet.

Carla? Are you still working on it? Or has anyone heard when it might be released? I checked over on YCMT, and didn't notice any info about it.

I Want That Pattern! It's perfect for easy summer living!

 

[Stephres]

I know she is still working on it, so it should be out soon.

I've got Part Two of the Vida Sew Along on my blog!

They do sell them separately and are about $10 each. My dd usually gets the pop princess style and then we buy a separate crown and stick it in to make it extra princessey! They even have one with a skull and crossbones crown!

Who was asking about Halloween customs? Here are the 2 I made last year. (Sorry the pictures are all different sizes!)

Daisy dressed as Minnie

Oh my! That is awesome! I love the idea of daisy dressed as minnie!

Woo hoo! I just ordered PED Basic so I'm a step closer to being able to do some fancier fonts and new designs. I'm so glad I saw the post someone made about using a coupon to order it online from JoAnns. (Thanks to whomever posted that... it saved me more than $50!!!) I always assumed I couldn't use a coupon since it specifically excludes sewing machines and sewing machine department but it worked. My goal is to be caught up as much as possible on sewing before it arrives so I can download the Embird trial to play with.

Since we're getting inspired for Halloween and Christmas themed creations, I took a look through my photos. I actually don't have any of something specifically Halloween themed - I know I've made a few but I guess I never took photos for some reason. Anyway, here are some that I think are great for Halloween:

Every time I see your stuff I cannot get over how amazing it is!!!!

Screamin' Deal on Cricut Expression.... for those that were looking..... For the next 3 days Joann's has the Cricut Expression on sale for $249.00. It includes 2 cartridges and a cutting mat- normal price at Joanns- $399.00.

Good luck!

My BFF just got one there and she got an extra 20% off of that price b/c she is a teacher!!!!

I finished part one of the vida sew along, for anyone who is interested. Here is a sneak preview of the amazing photography skills involved:

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!! THIS HAS ALREADY CLEARED UP QUESTIONS FOR ME AND IS VERY THOROUGH! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE REST!!!!!!
