[emcreative]

Thanks LisaZoe (and the other posters) I did it! And it almost doesn't look too bad!!!

Here's Phineas' 4th of July outfit!!

 

[100AcrePrincess]

ok, I finished the dress and I really like it, the only issue is that the dress is a little too puffy 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

Here is Lily's "Fancy Fancy" outfit. Everything is fancier with a petti!

Perfectly fancy!

To My Dear Dis Friends,

Thank you all for the wonderful prayers and kind words you have sent my way. I truly appreciate them more than you will ever know. After going through the saddest, most heart-wrenching and difficult case we could ever imagine, we were finally able to adopt our beautiful baby boy. Last night was the first night in well over a year and a half where I did not stay up fearing the worst; that our son would be ripped from our hearts and lives forever. We have truly been blessed once again. Our lives have been enriched and we are forever grateful for the family that we have been given.

Sincerely your friend!!!
Beth

I'm so happy for you. He's just adorable.

 

[MomTo4+more]

Beth, I am new here, so I have not been following your story. Congratulations on your adoption!! Your son is adorable and so happy! I know how it feels to wait and to wonder and hope for the best but just not know how things will turn out. I found out yesterday that "my" littlest one will remain in my care at least 6 more months, but we don't know what will happen after that. I am happy for you and the peace you must feel knowing your little boy is YOUR SON in the eyes of the law. Enjoy him!

Looks like you had a great one, Lori!!

Thank you.

I don't have that particular pattern. I have her back wrap jumper, bishop, and basic yoke dress. The way the placket on her yoke dress is made is really neat. You cut 2 back bodice pieces and fold them in half and the fold line becomes the placket. Is that not how this one is? I need to get a pattern for a bubble, but maybe I should stay clear from that one? I was thinking of getting a Miche Mooney pattern or Wendy Schoen anyhow. I want to make something for my friend's little baby boy, but she told me she doesn't like old fashioned.. I need to find one without frills. How is the bodice lining made? do you sew it right sides together? Is there a separate piece for the placket? I have made one where you sandwich the placket in between the bodice back and bodice back lining and then when you turn it out the placket is sticking out. THere are so many ways to do it. I'm surprised she didn't do the self lining thing like on the dress. I love how it is made on that pattern.





Does anyone have a pattern suggestion for a baby that is very chubby? She is turning 2 and wears a size 6. She is still short of course too. I'm just worried to make her something that will be ill fitting because of upping the size and having to shrink the skirt of the dress alot. Any ideas would be appreciated. Would the simply sweet work okay for that? I was thinking maybe I need to make something with buttons or elastic so it can still fit but be okay to actually pull over her?

The placket for the bodice is done that way but you have to do a skirt (or bubble placket in this case) placket. You sew a V cut down the center of the V, spread it out so it straight and sew a rectangle onto that. It never works for me.

What about a Bishop for a chubby girl?

I so want to try the vida now. I love the look of that. I am just trying to patiently wait for the tutorial some said they are waiting on, plus, I still need to buy the pattern! Guess, I had better find a place to buy it so I'll be ready!

*cough* I'll get right on that. This weekend, I promise!

I also said I would do one. The dress is done and I've taken pics but just haven't uploaded them yet.

Too puffy???? NEVER!!! Everything turned out awesome!

THE GIRLS CAN ATTEND THE ADOPTIONS!!

Whoo hoo! So, August 7th at 9am it is!!!

What great news!

I think your idea of cold and ours waaayy down south are different, b/c we froze last Nov. A low of sixty is jacket weather at least for us, but definitely not shorts or short sleeves. I only wore capris one day when it was forecasted to get above eighty. Most days it was in the fifties when we struck out for rope drop and we were bundled up pretty good. 2 different days i broke out earmuffs and gloves. There were 2 days where we did come out of the long sleeves by the end of the day, though. Was last year colder than normal, or about average?? We didn't even consider swimming and I refused to do splash mountian and chance walking around frozen all day. I had a jacket on about 1:30 in the afternoon when DD asked to do it.

I love you southern folks when we are in DW! We usually go in January and it will be 50 out and we are in shorts and tank tops. We can always spot the Southern folks in their mittens and scarfs!

This is a new set my mom made. She is getting back into sewing again.

So lucky, I wish my mom would start sewing again! Very cute outfit.

Here is Lily's "Fancy Fancy" outfit. Everything is fancier with a petti!

Love it, everyone always tells me my DD3 looks like Fancy Nancy. I'm not even sure what/who she is!

Hi everyone, wow you are all chatty chatty now I am 10 pages behind again but will have to catch up later. Just wanted to post some pics. of what I have been working on. The shirt is what I made for my DH for Father's Day and the other is a Fish Extender for a fellow diser for her cruise.(unfinished right now.)

Sorry if the pics. are big, photobucket was giving me issues.

Great FE. I really need to finish ours. I really wish I had an embroidery machine just to do the names. I looked into paying someone locally and she said it would be $10/name. I have 9 names to do.... at that price might as well buy an inexpensive machine! Some friendly folks on here offered to help but I'm sadly not that organized.

What a beautiful picture! Congratulations.

Well I got Taylor's 4th of July outfit done, and my new camera arrived this morning, but no model.... I wanted to play with my camera so I went ahead and took a picture.... I'll put a picture of her in it when I get back in town sunday. My DD went with my mom to her house 5 hours away yesterday, and I am joining them there tonight.

I really should be packing, but I think I am going to try and work on another Disney World outfit for a little while.

Awesome!

That is really cute! I think it is my favorite twirl skirt ever. Great Job!!

Mya's Big Give-

I thought I would share my pics for Mya's Big Give. This was really bittersweet for me because Mya is three months younger than my daughter and they are almost the same size. My DH got really upset when he heard a little bit about her story. He was really happy that I made the outfit too.

The skirt is only 10 inches long. I know it is going to be hot so I decided to keep it one layer. Also, I am really happy I had two hats. Let's just say the first was a hot fix disaster!! The second I just bejeweled. It will cover her and head and add a little bling bling.

Oh I love this. The fabric on the skirt is so perfect!

 

[NiniMorris]

Please ignore this post!!! I just need to rant a bit and get it out of my system...and has to be where I know 'certain' people won't see it!

Our two youngest have lived with us for the past 7 years. Bio dad hasn't seen them in those 7 years and bio-mom hasn't seen them in over 4 years. Bio dad was bio moms pimp. Bio dad was in prison for child molestation for the past 7 years... I just found out that he is now in a half way house. I was supposed to be told when he was about to be released, as there was some threats of bodily harm sent our way...but I found out only because I got a letter from the state telling me his wages were going to be garnished for child support and that dughter's welfare would be reduced by that much money....(she gets a whopping 95 a month!)

My husband (a police officer) did some checking...seems bio mom and bio dad are back together???? and living not too far from us! I have just gone from being a happy mom planning a Disney trip in September to being afraid to let the kids play outside! I truly fear for my daughter's safety. Not so much my son, as his bio dad considers him 'damaged goods' and has no desire to have him back.

I am so upset with the state of Georgia! Of course today is a holiday and no one is in any office to complain...not that it would do any good! Hubby is going to get the restraining order redone since it has expired.

OK..rant over. I promise to be a good girl now and get back to sewing...I just made DGD a 'cupcake' A-line (Carla C) dress for her birthday...only to discover that the front has all the cupcakes upside down!! DIL said it looks the way her cupcakes look when she is finished with them!!

Back to work!

I love this! I have tried to do satin type fabrics in t-shirt appliques and I keep having problems with getting holes in the satin where the needle goes through. I've tried smaller needles, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I have been really bad at forgetting to put a topping stabilizer on though. Do you think that would make a difference? Do you have any special tricks?

Thanks!
Jen

Hugs to you about the situation regarding the bio-parents. Sounds scary to me and I'm not there. Feel free to vent away.

And you probably put the cupcakes upside down so DGD could see them better while she is wearing the dress.

No need to promise, I COMPLETELY understand. I have even had to use an alias when staying in the hospital with Ferb because of violence occuring in hospitals and against police officers. We used to be able to track a bio by the offender tracking system, now even that is "blank." And the other bio is on the run, we think because baby 6 is on the way.

So I understand. PM me if you ever want to chat about bionightmares.

This outfit is adorable. I can't wait to see pics of your little one wearing it.

Oh Beth, that is fantastic! I love the picture! He's a handsome little guy! I'm so glad he's yours!

Thank you!!! I am so glad he is ours forever now, he just completes our family wonderfully.

Congrats to Beth!!!! What a beautiful little boy!!

Aww thank you so much!!!!

BETH -CONGRATULATIONS! I am soooooooo HAPPY for you and your family!

Thank you as well. I am very EXCITED can you tell???

Omgosh this is adorable. I love it. It is just so sweet!!

What wonderful news, Beth! He is a beautiful boy and definitely looks like he loves his mommy.

Thanks Lisa. He is a little mama's boy, hahahaha. I do have to say though that he is just in awe of his big sister. He follows her around everywhere and wants to do everything she does. I love to watch the two of them together. It is so sweet.

It goes under the garment. (applique on top, then garment, then stabilizer. If you are appliqueing on knit then it's best to have a water solvable clear stabilizer on the very top of the project. It keeps the stitches from disappearing into the knit. When you are all done you just run it under water and it desolves.

Where do you buy the water solvable clear stabilizer? Does Joann's have this stuff?

 

[MouseTriper]

I bought my first heathersue design, and I don't even have an embroidery machine! My friend has an embroidery machine, so we had fun making mickey cupcakes! The only problem is, I nicked a hole in the t-shirt while trimming the fabric. Any ideas on how to keep it from falling apart? Or do I need to start over?

After we made the ones to go with the cupcake skirts I plan to make, we decided they would make good 4th of July outfits too.

I made these shorts for my friend's DD, now I have to make 2 prs for my 2 DDs! Nothing like waiting until the last minute!

Those turned out cute. I love Heather's designs!!!

CONGRATS!!!!!

Thanks snubie!

Thanks LisaZoe (and the other posters) I did it! And it almost doesn't look too bad!!!

Oh Man!! That one is perfect. The other cats are going to drive me crazy. I guess I need to redo the dresses. UGH! I have one month until we leave and not enough time!!!

Could you maybe just do a panel??

Where do you buy the water solvable clear stabilizer? Does Joann's have this stuff?

I got mine at Joann's (with a 40% off coupon )

Where do you buy the water solvable clear stabilizer? Does Joann's have this stuff?

Yes and I think it may be 50% this weekend. I bought some tear away yesterday and the sign said 50%.

ok, I finished the dress and I really like it, the only issue is that the dress is a little too puffy 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

Yep, I'm sitting here with my Joann's flyer right next to me (as it should be, right? hee) and the notions wall is 50% off until July 18th. (There are a couple of things excluded, like dressforms and bobbin winders, but none of the bread-and-butter notions are excluded.)
