What about one of those rounded neck dresses?

You could make the "shirt" but have it fit like a sundress?
Hrm.. That is a good idea. I wanted to buy a pattern similar to this one anyhow. I may use that. Thank you!
EEKKK - why would they need to do the camera for constipation??? Emma's gastro never did that if that makes you feel better. Just talked about diet and monitored her mineral oil amounts. All he had to do was feel her belly to see if she was backed up. You could probably do all this on your own though too.
I don't know why they would. My doctor couldn't tell me either. It is really hard to find a good doctor in my area!
I doubt we even have a pediatric gastro doctor. I had to go 3 hours to find an endometriosis specialist.
I will do some reading up on it. I'm not sure if DH will be okay with it unless I take her to a doctor that suggests it.
I think the Simply Sweet or the Portrait Peasant would work well. I would probably shorten the bodice of the size 6 to a size 2 (or whereever size corespondse to her height).
I have a pattern similar to the portrait peasant. I was thinking because of the elastic in the arms that this might be bad? Good idea about shortening the bodice. I kept trying to think of things without a bodice. I usually make Alines, but I fear it won't work well on her.
Toad Stool- I don't have it, somehow it got lost when the movers packed the machine (along with the cord) but I found it online. My only problem is it says "the thread is tangled" but I have cleaned the dumb thing 3 times and I see no thread at all in it ....
So now I don't know what to do..
Can you unscrew the plastic off of the machine to see inside of there? If your hubby has an air compressor he can't blow it out too. Tiny threads can cause huge problems in my experience. Then again.. it may not be the thread.
I joined Elizabeth's yahoo group and asked a question about all of this. She sent me a sample so that I could stitch it out. She also said that she recommends pleating with the same color of thread, but pulls out the threads as the design stitches out. Sounds easy, except when I stitched out her design, I couldn't pull out the thread. SO, the design stithces BEAUTIFULLY! I love it! And I'll be buying more for sure. BUT - I will definitely need to pleat with the same color of thread. Lesson one learned.
I did really think that some of Deb's designs would make great backgrounds. My next sample is going to be one of those designs stitched in the same color of thread as the fabric, and then an embroidery design on top. We'll see how it turns out. The only problem now is that I'm out of inserts! SO, I guess I have to wait until my pleater gets here. I've been having fun learning, though! I can't wait until I have a product that I can actually use in a garment. The next thing I need to figure out is how to actually insert the panel into a garment!
LYNNIE PINNIE! Why do I ALWAYS forget about her! I love her stuff, and own a CD and always forget to look at her stuff. Off to check her out!
Glad Elizabeth's designs worked out better. Did you want me to pleat you a piece of fabric and send it to you? I'm not sure how long your pleater will take to come in. Hopefully it comes with needles and you can start right away.
OT:
THE GIRLS CAN ATTEND THE ADOPTIONS!!
Whoo hoo! So, August 7th at 9am it is!!!
So happy for you!
In the Kaiya Eve Couture directions, she uses a button and button hole in the elastic. I know this is for multi sizes, but won't the elastic hang out of the skirt?
One more question. I saw some cute skirts made with printed Nylon Chiffon. I found where to get the solids, but I haven't found any zebra or cheeta prints. Any ideas?

Buttonhole elastic definitely won't be a problem. There is a slit you have to insert the elastic you just push the tail of the elastic through the slit and you won't see it again.
I don't think you can get printed chiffon other than the small dots. I think these petti companies must have it produced for their use. They are making tons of money, so I think they can afford it. hehe.
You can find organza and organdy with more prints, but it is stiff.
I've commented on this before, but it is gorgeous!
I love the way the wedges look over the strips for me. I think you can see the fabric better.
This is a new set my mom made. She is getting back into sewing again.
Too cute! Is she a quilter? Those jeans look like something you'd see on a quilt.
Here is Lily's "Fancy Fancy" outfit. Everything is fancier with a petti!
Love it!! Those little angel sleeves are just perfect. I soooo need a white petti!
What a beautiful picture! That photographer really captured both of you! He is adorable! Do we get to know his name yet??
confused3) as I used a lot of fabric for the skirt and the linen lace provided a little stability to the inside skirt, which bring me to the question: How do you care (wash) a dress like this.. it has heavy cotton eyelet for the inside, kona cotton for the lining(top) and my issue again is the linen lace as I imagine it will be hard to take care, but if is only worn once it will be enough for me
as Mya's Give is really close to my heart
It brought tears to my eyes. He is so cute. Now you can share lots of pictures.
I'm so excited and happy for you (okay, I'm a little jealous, too!!)
Thank you!! I really am blessed. I am trying to sort through tons of pictures now so I can pick a few favs to post. (It's hard though since every picture seems to be my favorite....Hahaha).
Yes, his name is a secret. Hahahaha. I am SOOOO glad our wait is over!!!!! I can't wait for yours now!!!
