I am just showing you a few pics...I will post more on my blog. I have to update it tonight. And I still haven't revealed the "big announcement" news....I'll have to do that soonerish too!
I still need to make my other DD her skirt. Everything is appliqued and ready to go I just have to assemble it. I was considering doing a pictorial sew-along if anyone would be interested in making a skirt like this. I am no Carla C but let me know if you would be interested. This is basically a panel double layer twirl skirt....not hard at all.
Thanks so much...no I can't digitize but I can buy really well!!!Just beautiful. Did you digitize some of it yourself? Is it applique or embroidery? Just really loving the designs and your talent

Thanks so much...no I can't digitize but I can buy really well!!!For this set I had purchased designs (see credits) back in June.
Thanks for your interest!!! I will definately do the sew-along tutorial. I would say that since the panels are so big, the outfit is probably best for ages 4 and up. I'll try to do it at the end of next week or the week after. I have some other stuff going on in the mean time. I will let you know when I post it on my blog. I did update my blog last night in the midst of the whole sad news about Noah. Again, my heart and prayers go out to the family.![]()
jham - your girls are about the same age as mine and awhile ago you posted pictures of Minnie shirts you made each of them. I'm trying to explain to DH that I want to do the same type of thing, but "he needs to see it" in order to understand it.Would be kind enough to repost the picture of the girls in the Minnie suntops - I believe they were jumping/on someone's bed.
I picked up the red and black pokadot fabric last night and I figured I'd do a line of yellow rickrack on the seam between the red and black and make suntops but a little longer. Of course I have little to no time to make them, but the girls will be coming home late tonight so that gives me two hours to cut and try to sew something together without them seeing it.

It's been awhile but I finally have something to share. The inspration for the sets was this great knit hat that I got offI just love how they turned out and can't wait for halloween to roll around. I am halloween mode around here with lots of ideas scetched out. Now i just need time to make them come to fruition.

Everyone is amazing and I want to thank you for giving me the inspiration and motivation to figure out how to sew. I had a working knowledge because my Mother and Grandmother have always sewn. I just never picked it up. I have had a machine in my cabinet for close to 10 yrs that I rarely used.![]()
Here are a couple things that I had taken pics of. I have also made a an outfit for my DD and a couple pillow case shirts that I do not have pics of yet.
this is actually like a skort (it looks like a skirt in the front but shorts in the back). Just can't really tell in the pics.

I am also going to make one of these for my DD friend whose birthday is next week and is going to Disney for really the first time. The last time she went she was a baby.

Thanks for looking!!!!
I am tracing the pattern right now....I was wondering about the "yolk" - it has way more lines than the dotted cutting lines - LOL. So - if I am making a 110/116 - is the yolk supposed to be 26 3/4 x 6 1/4??? And is that one piece - with only one seam? I would also love your opinion on sizing - how it runs. Oh - one last question - seam allowances, I didn't add them to the bottom of the skirt pieces - do you think that will be ok size wise?
TIA!
Love all the cute clothes. I want to make t-shirts for our next trip. Who did you write to/e-mail at Disney to get permission to use the images? Could you post the address? In particular, I want make shirts with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Thanks!!
Well, I've been working away at my first pink/blue Aurora. It's almost done. It's not grabbing me, but I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun at the park. I guess I'm just thinking it's a bit too "court jester-ish"......
Of course it doesn't help that I chose to use Simplicity 9384. I've only done that one 3 or 4 times before, and I forgot how much I hate that pattern.....
Anyway, here's how it looks:

I AM BACK!!!! I finally got a new computer.... laptop... got the great deal at walmart on sunday! oh yeah..

Introducing Evangeline!
This is the first of our new Disney wardrobe for young Miss Evangeline. SHe is wearing a flowing summery Simply Sweet halter with a fuller double layer twirly skirt in classic Mickey & Minnie colors. And to showcase her new dress she got to wear her sisters petti (safety pinned to a smaller size until hers gets here.) --Well, It;s not perfect but Evie sure loves it so I am happy. Hopefully Joci & Juliet will love theirs too when I get them finished.
Thanks for looking. - Here are too many Evie's.....

(she was excited to wear the petti!)
I am so excited! I know I've mentioned it several times, but I finally pulled the trigger today and bought the embroidery machine! I got the Brother PE 750D! Woohoo! Now if I can just figure out how to use it................... One of my neighbors wants some fabric embroidered with her daughter's name on it so she can make her a nap mat for preschool so I think that will be my first project!

I did that dang rolled hem with an iron, a regular sewing machine, and my two bare hands! I really need a serger!

I am SO glad I got this done and I hope we can run fast at Toontown rope drop in a few days so we don't have to wait too long until my girl can meet Tink! I plan to pick her up and carry her, running, to the Meet-the-Fairies line. If that doesn't get me there with a wait of less than 90 minutes, then I'm not sure what would have!

I probably can't justify it either, but I've really wanted it and the dealer I bought it from gave me a decent deal and threw in the smaller 4x4 hoop (it comes with the 5x7 but I figured for little things for babies it might be useful), some stabilizer, prefilled bobbins and lessons on it.
So for all of you experienced users out there.........where do you buy your embroidery thread and what brand have you had the best luck with? Does anyone know of any great deals on it? The store where I bought the machine had a set of 25 for $60 but I didn't know if that was a good deal or not.
I just read that. Here is the blog post:
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I write this blog.
Noah earned his wings today. Just after 2pm this afternoon he went to be with Jesus.
No more tubes...no more pain...he is whole.
Love this! So original and creative; just awesome!It's been awhile but I finally have something to share.

She looks just like Tink!Okay, so after two test bodices (I just took measurements off of something that fits my daughter well instead of using a pattern, so I wanted to make sure it was right) and two do-overs on the leaves at the bottom of the shirt (finally decided on a rolled hem because everything else was too bunchy) I have at last finished my daughter's Tinkerbell set for her to wear when we visit the fairies next week. (And I was cutting it close! We fly out on Friday!)

PrayingHey Ladies & Tom.....
I was wondering if I could ask all of you to say a prayer for a friend of mine. If you've seen me on Facebook, you may have seen my status already.
Anyways.....her name is Keri Cain and a couple of days ago she had a heart attack and had to have quadruple bypass surgery. They were having trouble with her blood pressure yesterday and I received word this morning that she had taken a turn for the worse and she was going into another surgery today. They are preparing her for an artificial heart. She is only 34 years old and has two small children -- a boy 4 years old and an 8 month old baby girl. This girl was in good shape and is a nurse. I just cannot believe that this is happening to someone so young.
Please, please pray for my friend!
Thanks!
Awesome as always, especially love the school stuff!I AM BACK!!!! I finally got a new computer.... laptop... got the great deal at walmart on sunday! oh yeah..
