SOOOO stinkin' cute! (Both your DD and the dresses! I love the Minnie dress!)

Thanks so much!

Love the Sleeping Booty.

Thank you!

Look at that little Rylie! ADORABLE! Love both the Minnie & Sleeping Booty!

Thanks so much Shannon!

My DD still calls her Sleeping Booty.
Your DD is so adorable! I love seeing pictures of her. What a cutie! I like the way you did the random rick rack going across the patches. That really gives it some interest.

Thank you!

Love all the little girls in their customs! Such cute stuff posted lately.

My three day project is finally done. This is so embarassing but I am a fan of the makeover shows so here is my closet before:

And here is after:

Here is what is next:

WOW!!! You are an inspration! I have my scrapping room taht I want to turn into a sewing room since I don't do much scrapping anymore. It just takes too much time! I wish I had the time though because I love the albums that I have created!

I have been so inspired to make some things for upcoming "preview" trip to Disney (we're planning a big trip next year but could get such a great military deal this year - we're going for 4 days).

We're not going all out this year because we'll go next year so I'm not doing any big princess dresses..I'll save that for next year when we hopefully do the castle, etc.

But I wanted to do some things...I'm looking for where you might've found the great zebra prints in all different colors (someone made a skirt from them). We're definately going to AK and I want to do something for the girls. (DD5 and DD2)

Also I live in Hampton Roads are of VA where fabric shops are limited..I'm going up to visit my mom in NJ though this weekend (Bergen County). Anyone from that area and could point me to some good shops?

Now I have to go buy some new patterns. Besides CarlaC...any other ones you love?

TIA. I can't wait to start sewing again. I'm so busy that I hardly have time but I NEED to make time because the girls love it when I embroider or sew them stuff.

Virginia Beach here and I do have to agree that our fabric stores here are awful. And now we can't even get fabric at Walmart anymore I haven't sewn for a couple of years but am getting inspired with this thread.

Six Flags in New Orleans may be bought out by Nickelodeon peeps! I soo hope that happens. I know my DH would let me go there!
They just said on the news that the proposal was for a themepark with water rides. It is no DW, but at least it is something!

I finally started customs for our trip in October. Here is Minnie and Sleeping Booty! (that is what my 2yo calls her)

Very cute!

Mindy,

Your DD is adorable!!! Morgan is going to be so jealous of those curls!!!!!! (she had curls ONCE for 20 minutes LOL and I worked 3 hours on them)

 

[emcreative]

Mindy, even The Husband laughed about "Sleeping Booty"


Does anyone have a "source" for jewelry/flip flops, iykwim? Please PM me?

 

[*Toadstool*]

I can't wait to see the pics! AbbyGrace is having a great time, and we do all miss her. I'm not totally kid free because Ethan is at home. However, he really is pretty self sufficient so it's a lot different than having a 5 year old to care for. I do miss her, and talk to her several times a day. But it has been kinda a nice little breather!

Hope your parents aren't spoiling her too much!

Using this image to digitize an embroidery design.. Is her face supposed to be white? and her neck flesh colored? I found one picture that was coloredi n and her face was white. Any help would be appreciated! I am a Mulan novice!

The umbrella is wrong here, but the face is better to see:

I found a picture of a Disney pin and her face is natural color.

ETA:I think this pin is actually the same picture as you posted.

The closest Morgan has ever come to having "curls". It was her 4 1/2 B-day party. She was still in China for her 4th so we celebrated 4.5

One of the first dresses I made her for pre-school.

Oh My! I forgot about this outfit!

 

[mommyof3princess]

I was lurking and wanted to play along.

My first outfit I posted.

Thank you for letting me share. i have not been able to post much but I look every day and I am always in awwwwwwww over everything I see.

Need quick Opinions.....

I am using the ladybug patchwork fabric from Walmart that a lot of people really liked from early this summer - it had quite a few coordiantes - I have the black with red & white plaid hearts (bodice is made of this) small white on red minnie dot, & i think I have small white on black minnie dot. which do I use for the ruffle on the borrom of the skirt? the rest of the skirt is the patchwork blocks. I barely had enough for that. What do you think? I have the hearts cut and ready to sew for the ruffle but didn't know if it would be too much of the heart since the bodice is all hearts.

Anyone want a Sneak Peek?! I took more than 100 pictures today!!

Tickled Pink!!

Gorgeous!!!!! I love Emily's hair in these pics. She looks so gown up!!

I finally finished this skirt...my first skirt! First thing, actually, that I've made besides the easyfits, hideous glasses case, and sewing the edge around some squares on tee shirts, lol!

Emmy picked out all the fabrics. She can't model it right now, though, as it's 4am. Let's hope it fits. If not, I'm safety pinning it tighter and calling it good, lol!

Now I have to go clean my house in time for the housecleaner to get here in the morning!

Super impressive! I love it! I laugh at the irony of your last sentence...

Did you use bias tape around the hem? I love the look but I've never felt confident in my ability to sew it on neatly. Any tips or tricks?

Are you kidding!!!! You with your super mad sewing skills have never used bias tape on a hem? Get to it! I'm sure it will be fab!!!!

wanted to share my beach dress that I made Roseanna for the trip.

Beautiful! I love the pics!

Wow ladies (and man, I read)... amazing things are going on in this thread. I was super excited to come across this, as I LOVE TO SEW! I've always sewn, but YCMT has taken me to a whole new world of thinking.... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE CarlaC designs... thank you!

First family trip is Sept 23 through 29 via POR... DH and I went for our honeymoon 98 and 1st anniversary 99. DD 9 and DD 6 do not know we are going yet. Trying out free dining for the trip.

We just moved a month ago... still have quite the mess. I desperatly need to start sewing again. I really appreciate seeing all the wonderful customs out there... gives me a lot of inspriration.

Where can I get the BIG white dot minnie mouse material... also other tweenish fabric?

Also, for a beginner in embroidery, what machine would you purchase? Mostly for our trip, head bands, and hairbows.

I love twirl dresses and skirts. I love to applique/ decoupage and mostly just working with fabric... LOVE it! Oh and I LOVE YCMT! Can't wait to figure out how to post pics (need to find the cable) and learn the ropes of the disboard!

Welcome!!! The red dot is sold at JoAnns!

I have been lurking for the last couple weeks because I have been working like a mad woman on the house. (Not even any time for facebook!) We are hoping to move in a few weeks so I really want to finish it!! Just so you can see what we started with, and what a ginormous project this has been (hence why you haven't "seen" me!)
Our charming little farm house. lol

back

living room... this is actually after we sheetrocked and painted

den looking into the kitchen which as you can see has NO walls. We has to start from scratch in there!

what the upstairs looked like. lol

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can show you what it really looks like now!

I had to walk down memory lane too. my first post is on page 38 of thread one, 4/20/2007.
I have been sewing for a long time (mom is a seamstress) so the first thing I posted was not the first thing sewn...
I will show you the first thing I appliqued though, which like a lot of you also said, was a "hot mess".
Without further ado...

Tired of Morgan yet? LOL

I barely had enough for that. What do you think? I have the hearts cut and ready to sew for the ruffle but didn't know if it would be too much of the heart since the bodice is all hearts.

I made a stripwork jumper out of those fabrics. I used a double ruffle on the bottom with the ladybug white fab first and then the black and white dot. I would go with the black and white dot for the ruffle. Here's some pics of Hayleigh from Hilton Head this spring. This was my first CarlaC pattern attempt.....so I guess this is my "first" post. SInce I started using hers I haven't touched a store-bought pattern. I can't wait for her to post the adult dress! (hint hint)

Here's an outfit I made last week using just the patchwork for easy fit shorts and the ladybug print on the bottom. I am kicking myself for not buying the rest of what walmart had when it was there
