[Mirb1214]

Ok, I've Finally (I THINK) figured out how to post pictures. Below is Mollie's July 4th outfit.

 

[Mirb1214]

Here is the complete outfit. I accidently hit the wrong button before getting all my pics in one post.

Here's a link to the buttons I bought. It looks like the seller is out of town until July 6. Hopefully she'll still have these buttons when it reopens.

Heather that is the same seller I buy my buttons from...the seller do not have them in the store anymore only white and pink, I convo her this week and the reply I got was that i could order "gross" and I will get a special price of I believe 76.00 for the buttons I think it was over 1,000 or something like that (i did not place the order!1) maybe if enough of us make request and convo her she will bring them back?????? I am in the fence with this one as I sure do not need that many and I specially do not want to spent 75+ just in buttons!!!!!!

Hi y'all; I lost my quote, so I'm going to go back and try again, but in the meantime, wanted to let ya know what I've been working on this week.

Made two outfits for the kids:
4th of July-

and the Zoo-

I also learned how to use my serger, ruffler (many, many thanks to Carla for her awesome tutorial, hated the math-blech- but love that I now know pretty much exactly how much it's going to ruffle) and the embroidery part of my machine; only took 9 years, but who's counting! I now know for sure that I need a bigger hoop; Joanne has the Brother PE 700II down to $649 w/ free shipping and my birthday's less than a month away, so I'm trying hard
so all in all, a busy week

Those are great. Love the Zoo outfits.

here is my very first attempt at sewing a dress!

Great job. Too bad DD feels that way about the twirl factor. I have made the simply sweet a few times (actually it was the first dress I ever made) and it goes together easily and is fairly twirly.

I've made two. I'm very much a beginner sewer and thought they were pretty easy. I just elongated the pattern and flared it out a bit. It worked well and I will probably make more in the future...now if I could just find the time! Here are the two I made:

Hope that helps!!

Looks cute. nice for a casual school dress.

OK.. picture time.. This is my first attempt, so hopefully I won't embarass myself too much!

This first picture is of my attempt to make a Minnie Mouse top. It is for my oh so sophisticated 9 year old...nothing fancy or princess for her! (I wish I had paid more attention to the thread...should have used black for the top stitching...) Somehow it doesn't look like Minnie to me. It is definitely missing something. The only thing I can think of is a bow...she will be wearing blue jean shorts with it. (have tried and tried to get her to let me make some matching shorts...NO WAY!!)

I will be making a similar one for DGD2 in a dress length.

This next one is the cupcake dress fiasco! I really like the CarlaC A line dress... and it was soooo easy! MY DD9 will be making one in this pattern for DGD2's second birthday in a few weeks.

and the back...

Gentle now...remember this is my first time!!!

Looks great. And I think the first one is def. Minnie. Maybe not if you are not at WDW, but anyone at WDW or in that state of mind will def. think Minnie.

Ok, I've Finally (I THINK) figured out how to post pictures. Below is Mollie's July 4th outfit.

Very cute. Love the red fluffy stuff.

As you see from Steph's photos that will work. I have done a super quick dress using a bodice from a simply sweet but making the dress an a-line and then finishing with bias binding:

Thank you that looks like it would be fast and simple (my two favorite things in sewing!!) I will for sure try this when we get back because................................We leave for our 1st DW vacation in 16 hours!!!!!!!

Thank You and it is adorable!!

and the Zoo-

I love this! We were looking at the exact fabric last night. DD9 couldn't make up her mind which fabric she wanted. Saw this and and said this had to be it!!!

Thanks for the inspiration...

Nini Morris

Love your DS shirt. You have inspired me. I needed something for my DS for AK, but I didn't want it to look girly. It is hard to get stuff for a 7yr old & not have him think he it looks too kiddy.

Wow. Love you Minie dot. You picked a complex pattern for a 1st dress & you did a great job. I just did a round neck top & it liked to make me crazy.

Isn't black, red & yellow dots always Minnie. Maybe it is just a frame of mind.

I finished Violette's 4th outfit last night. It had been so long since I last sewed. It took me more time than I thought. I made the hat this morning. It's my 1st pageboy. I was rushed for time and didn't put a liner in it..oh well. Today is probably the only day she'll wear that one anyway. The capris are just ones I got from Old Navy. If the darn top hadn't taken so long, I would've made her some shorts

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Happy 4th everybody! I hope everyone is enjoying today. I took the kids to the parade in the next town over this morning...2 1/2 parade! Lots and lots of candy...the kids had a blast. DH has to work today...I hate retail for that reason...he never ever gets to be off on holidays! Tomorrow we get to celebrate 9 years of wedded bliss...which means I get The Melting Pot! YUM!

Take care all! I think I may go do some sewing now...I really hate to mess up my very pretty sewing room! But I have not sewn since we got back.

I LOVE that top!!!! What pattern is that?

 

[xdanielleax]

Thanks! It is the Ruffled Halter Top by Erin's Designs on YCMT It's the 1st time I've used that pattern. I've also used her all ruffled up dress, which is really cute.

Stacey: Jeanne and I have bought black Mickey head buttons on etsy!

Guess I have to go check etsy now.

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!

Nini

Oh my gosh, my prayers are with your family. I am so impressed with all the families on this board with adopted or fostered kids. Wonderful.


Where did all my other quotes go? AHHH.

Great outfits. Love all the 4th of July stuff. I'll post mine soon.

I think the Minnie top would be adorable! with the yellow flower that Minnie has from her hat! You can make one and put in on the bottom of the collar (like a corsage) or near the hem. It is super cute

If you order I would def. buy some from you! You can also sell small lots of them on etsy and fee-bay to make back your investment!

Hope you are all having a great 4th of July! Here's a big THANK YOU to all of our troups, military personal, and their families!

Here are some things I have made lately...all cased I am sure!!!

It says... Got Spot?

Did I post this already??? sorry...if I did...

Thanks for looking...going to try to back up and catch up...sorry I have been so MIA on this thread lately!

 

[DisneyKings]

I FINALLY finished my 4th shorts! Nothing like waiting until the last minute Things I learned while making 3 pairs of ruffled shorts: when Carla says baste your ruffle together, you probably should, the ruffler foot works much better when you remember to put it down, and it's a good idea to make sure the needle is in the UP position when pulling out your fabric! I've been going back & forth between a computerized machine & old basic one, so I guess I've been getting to used to the modern conveniences of the newer one.

Hi guys! I am in a hotel room in Toledo, well actually Perrysburg, Ohio. I was down here for a religious convention yesterday, today and tomorrow.Unfortunately, Arminda started feeling sick today, so I had to get my Dad to take us back to our hotel. I'm hoping Arminda feels better soon! Thankfully, Corey brought his laptop, and I figured out his password, so I had something to do! I really don't like the way the keyboard is working on here though, so I can't comment too much.

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 not going to thumbnail this celebration!!! BETH!!! BETH BETH!!! YOU are posotively GORGEOUS!!! LOOk at you with your FOREVER AND EVER AND AEVER SON!!!!!!!!!! I'm crying so bad ,Arminda is going to think I'm nuts!!!! It's been too long coming sweetheart!!!
