LOOK AT MY FABRIC FIND!!!!!!!!!!!!



I have been looking for this since it was posted here and finally found it. It is not blue like I wanted, it is the pink print but I am so freaking excited. I got 2 yards of it. (now I just have to decide what to make) I can't wait to see Roseanna in that fabric on Main Street! It will be so hard to cut into. I am thinking maybe a Vida with some appliques of castle and rides, but I am not sure. I really need to think this one out so it is perfect!

Great find!

Sorry, but I am going to ask again, does anyone know much about or have the Brother ES200? Someone is trying to sell one for $80 and I was wondering if that is a good deal or if I should keep looking for one at Wally's? Sorry to ask this questions twice.

My GF has this one or one that looks just like it. Wally world has it. Not sure if it is the same one but it is close. IS the $80 one new? I think my GF only paid a little over a $100 for it new maybe $130 and frankly I would rather get it new with that little difference in cost.
She also had to exchange hers once already though as we joke she just has a gift for messing things up! God love her but she is used to working on her grandmother old hand crank machine and always winging patterns and never reading. So I am slowly trying to teacher the modern way of sewing!
I am actually trying to convince her to join this board because she booked a trip to WDW and new realizes her DD needs customs!

Wow! You are doing great. I love that fabric. Where did you get it?

Thanks! I got the fabric at JoAnn's - DD picked it out herself.

 

[disneylovinfamily]

Where did you find that? Was it locally or online?

I finally found it on etsy. It is shipping from Japan. It was all he had. The search terms that I finally found it with were japanese fabric amusement park.

Thanks to all of you I made my first dress ever last weekend and posted it earlier in the week. In case you missed it I had not touched a sewing machine since middle school. Thanks again for all of the kind comments on it! Since then, I made a second pillowcase dress for my niece and I made a scaled down version of my first pillowcase dress for DD's AG doll. Here is a photo of them in their matching dresses at a tea party today. I have a long way to go and will never be able to do the complicated things you guys do but DD is very happy so far.

The girls look great!! You can tell how much they both love thier tea party dresses! Before you know it, you'll be making all sorts of special dresses. But no matter what, your daughter is going to love eveything becasue her mother made her something special.

I'm not sure about what kind you have at your Walmart- but I would suggest getting the Cricut Expression- it will cut 12x12 pages. The cricut machine is all you need to cut- it can work without your computer. HOWEVER- I would also highly suggest getting a program to put on your computer called Cricut Design Studio. Using this program and hooking your cricut machine up to your computer (all the cords you need will come with your Cricut), you will be able to weld letters together along with anything else you may want to weld. this means that instead of cutting each letter seperately, you can weld the letters together so they hook together like cursive letters would. it's great for linking letters to shapes etc.- kinda like this;

here I took a rectangle and the letter and welded them together to make them one piece. You cannot do this unless you have Cricut Design Studio.

Probably seen better here:

Give me a day or two to find some screamin' deals for ya- ok?

Cool! Then I know what I want then...I have always loved that book since you made it! I will wait for further instruction from you if you find a deal!

I know Queen Karen already answered but I wanted to add that if price doesn't matter get the Expression (the more expensive one). I bought the basic one and wish now I had spent the extra money on the Expression. Problem is I got a hot deal on it Black Friday 07 and didn't have time to research the difference at 6am!

Thanks for the added input...I need lots to pull this one off...with the $1000 dog surgery we just had, any extra money going out right now is a lot to him.

If you are on Facebook, there are several pictures up there! She is GORGEOUS!!! And, T looks absolutely fantastic!

I will have to wait...I am Facebook challenged...it's a long story, but lets just say that people from my past have easy enough time finding me without me being on there! I was on there for a day...A DAY...and my ex husband wanted to be friends...really....has he lost it! So it kinda scared me...really have no need to tick Tim off! I know it wasn't my fault...but that's just not an area I EVER want to tread in...we were both cheated on by our first spouses. So that was my very long answer to...I will have to wait to see the baby!!!!

On Wednesday DH had to take a trip about two hours away...so we all tagged along, better than sitting here while it rained...it was perfect weather an hour away from here! Anyway...I did get to check out a fabric place...all upohlestry fabrics...which is good because I want to do the kids couch.


Love lots of fabric!

Here is what I picked out...going to do the coushions in the brown and accent with the other fabrics...now just have to figure out how much I need.

AND I did sew some too! I was able to make Katie a dress with fabric I purchased 4 years ago! I always wanted to make her a dress with it, but never found the right pattern! THANKS again to Carla for always coming up with what I need!!!! Katie said this is here favorite thing I have ever made for her! (Then funny part of the fabric... I know you can't tell in the pic...but it is the same fabric Carla has in the bodice pic in the instructions...Katie said it was meant to be!)

And Timmy wanted to be in on the picture...

And here is Buckley...he is doing really well...big silly tried to chase a rabbit yesterday...I had to stop him to keep him from hurting himself!

 

[jessica52877]

Oh! I'm so glad you asked! I'd love to show you!

My best buy of the day you ask??? Well- it's between the $12.00 Disney princess hand held game I got for 1.50 and the VTech Create a story book machine thingy I got that was normally $50.00- and I got it for 12.50.... and the extra books for it that were normally $10.00- I got for $2.50! pretty good - huh? Those Magnetic thigns were a great value too!



This is just too sweet! GREAT JOB!

I LOVE this picture! I love nothing more then having stacks and stacks of toys at christmas time to give away! Once Dallas was born we started buying for charities instead of the family (or ourselves besides Dallas) and it is so rewarding!

Just a thought and not sure how you do it but when I give something that needs other things I carefully open the box and shove as much in as I can. As in with leapfrogs, I could open it and put 8 batteries (enough for 2x) and 3 books all in their packages without much issue. We tend to give to toys for tots and the like so I always worry about the kids getting the extras!

We did 2 FP dollhouses one year and that was much trickier! I did get a few little accessories in but I sure hope they really kept some of it together!

Sorry to ramble! I heard about this deal and wanted to run to Kmart. It is just so dang far and DH would probably kill me if I brought more toys in this house! I collect them all year long!

this photo shows how he went thru my stitches- although this flower is better than some of the others he did

this one it's not hte pattern I asked for, but at least it's good


My husbnand takes much better pix than me, ill see if you can take some tomorrow- these really dont show the colors well at all

And I so had to comment on this too! I LOVE it! You did a fab job.

I have also seen so many other cute cute things but really gotta get back to the machine.

Good news for me! I am a big dumb dumb..... my flights I wanted to Disney on Southwest were dinged a few weeks ago for $68 each way.... normal is $110 each way on Southwest....so I quickly booked....well when I gave the flights to Disney for Magical Express they pointed out to me that I booked my flights backward..... I was flying from Orlando on my arrival day and flying to Orlando on my depature day. I was so glad they noticed it, because that would have stunk to arrive at the airport and find out I wasn't booked for the flight I thought. Anyhow.... since the ding had expired, even though it was offered both direction and I was just silly, I would have to pay full price on the new flight, so I would have had to pay $386 more for all 4 of us to get the same flights I already thought I booked. I was pretty bummed. I decided to wait and hope the flights I wanted would get dinged again. Well today they did!!! They even went a little lower then before $60 each way....so I got them booked and got a $64 credit for a future flight (which will work good if DH gets to join us and I need to book him a 1 way flight) Anyhow I had to share my excitement with someone.... I started to call and tell my mom, but then I realized I never told her I screwed up the flights because I didn't want her to worry about it.

When is your trip?

My Mom love her. Threw a surprise Birthday party for Megan yesterday. Megan theought even thought it was her birthday we were just going to pick up her sisters which had been vacationing at grandmas for a few days. Then I told her we were comming back home. My mom thought of everything even hula outfits for the girls. And a hawaiian theam cake. I thought I would share them with all of you.

My 3 hula girls (Sammie only wanted to take pictures by herself.)

Now she is ready and all smiles.

Birthday girl and her lilo cake.

Hi Timmy!
Hi Buckley

I'm glad he is doing better! I hope he continues to improve.

No RABBITS Buckley! or:

I thought about you right away and thought she is gonna die that I found this fabric! Keep searching, it is out there. I have been looking since you posted that pic. I felt like a crazy person looking for it and I got it for a good price. With shipping it worked out to like $19 a yard---which I think is really good for japanese fabric

Oh wow, what a fabulous party! Could I ask please, where did you get the Lilo and stitch cake??? My DD wants a lilo and stitch themed birthday party in September, and since we are in the US in August, I would love to get her one, then maybe I could keep the figures and decorations and make her another one when its her real birthday

 

[mommyof3princess]

My Mom ordered it from stater brothers. They have the same cake set at vons. If you cannot find it I can go to my stater bro and buy the cake kit and mail it to you. It is really cute lilo really hulas.

It is wedding day for fairygoodmother!

Her daughter walks down the aisle at 5:00 tonight. All of the dresses Darla made are gorgeous.

For the little girls she made Aurora, Cinderella, and Snow White but in white and ivory brocade. She also made all of the bridesmaid dresses.

I will take lots of pictures, but I will let her post them.

Does anyone know if there is an article somewhere on how to do "in the hoop" designs? I've seen a few I like and wanted to try it. I did a search, but just came up with designs sites. I think I need more details before I jump into something I am clueless about.

Hi Everyone!!

Beautiful creations just in the past few pages - I dont know if I can bear to go back 120 pages to review it all!!!

We had a great trip to Camp Promise - the campers were wonderful! We are totally exhausted and I am hating the idea of getting back to real life!! Here are a few pictures to share with you all....

This was our 5th year going - Matt and Bekah have come with us all 5 years!

This year Matt and Bekah had to help as counselors instead of just work crew - I think they were ready for it and they did great jobs!! Matt especially seems to have a talent and way of working with people with special needs - he just treats them like he would his brothers!!

Group shot from week 1 and week 2

Cute shots of the campers...

Our lake with a rainbow.

And Bill and I at Glacier National Park

Oh - I almost forgot - when we got home, Tim was at the airport and he wanted you to see his new buzz haircut -

Back to reality!!!!!

Nikki does non competitive cheer and I coach a squad. Last football season we practiced 4 days a week for 2 hour each then when school started we went down to 2 days. For Bball we did 1 practice a week for an hour and a half and there was a HUGE difference in what the girls could do for football as to what they could do for bball. I didn't coach bball. Needless to say bball imo was a mess and it irked me!

Personally I think practice makes perfect BUT it doesn't have to be that much as long as you get some quality practice in. I was always like no biggie if a girl can't make practice or a game because it was 'rec' cheer and people have lives. I just wanted to be available for whom ever could ad wanted to really practice. I didn't run the program I just coached and we had SO MUCH fun. I LOVEd my sqaud and to be honest most of my girls took it so seriously and I had people/parents who weren't part of my squad telling me how great my squad was and I would beam with pride for my girls! I adored every one of them! I can't wait until it starts again this yr!

That said this yr I don' think the new director wants that much practice so I am not sure. I feel if we can get 2 days in at least 2 hours a day we will bee fine.
Actually it is Kyle whom I am more nervous about he starts football! They practice 4 days a week I think!
did you use a marking pencil to trace all the lines from the original image?


Great idea!
That is really cheap!

Are you in competition cheer?
Nik wants to do the short season one after football season but man it is pricey and time consuming but she is pretty good and loves it so if that is what she wants to do I may have to break down and let her do it.
So cool! YA it is a girl!



WOW what a fab deal! Very sweet of you to do that too.
I may have to head there and see what they have since Kyle's bday is coming up rather fast1

I think it looks GREAT! I don't wee what youa re talking about it could be because it is a picture. I think you should be thrilled with it.


Wow and I was happy yesterday I got 8 hard covered books for Kyle for $3! I like your deal better!
Great deal so glad you got it straightened out.

Great job!

They looks so cute!

Thanks for the reassurance. I fell better about it now. I was worried about all the prctice time, but as long as they re not too competitave it will be ok.

Most of us started exactly where you are, I promise. Especially if you get great, easy to follow patterns like CarlaC's, you'll be amazed at how quickly you improve! These look adorable btw! Love the fabric, and the matching doll dress!

Yesterday I took Jenna and my niece Renee to the zoo. We had a blast even though it was super hot and we were drenched in sweat by the time we got out of the zoo. I guess we got there at a good time because we saw tons of animals. The only ones we didn't get to see were the bears and that is the one that the girls really wanted to see. Oh well. Maybe next time. Here are the dresses that I made for the girls. Of course they had to match.

Love the dresses! Looks like y'all had a great time!

This is the most amazing fabric I have ever seen- no kidding! Now I have two objects of envy and constant web search obsession: this and the mickey swirl!

I think there are tutorials available at emblibrary.com if you look on the list at the left, under the header exclusively EL, there's a project listing. Click on that, and it has several in the hoop tutes.
