After I replied to you the first time I saw you were from Miami and almost pm'd you back to ask if that was the birthing center you were using. It looks awesome and funny thing is the doula we had for our first birth moved to Florida and I saw her on the show once.

Women give birth without pain medication all the time. My water broke 36 hours before my first was born (we lied to the hospital about what time it broke so I wouldn't get induced) and I did it without any medication at all. Fatigue was my biggest problem. My second labor was short (5 hours) so the pain was more intense, but still very bearable. You'll do perfectly fine and I think a drug free birth is one of the best gifts you can give your child.

Thanks for your words and encouragement. . . I appriciate them more than you know!

I can't believe your school lets them wear tank tops. I'm so jealous. It's SOOOO hot here in Florida and they don't let them wear them.

I think birthing centers are such a great resource! I didn't have that option as we lived in a smaal town when I had DD. I also think that epidurals are pushed way too hard by hospitals as a "you must do this" thing. I made my wished clear to my doc before hand, and the only reason i had an epidural was b/c we knew the baby was 9 lbs and would probably need assistance making her appearance, and i would likely need a lot of stitches. I wanted to do as much on my own as possible, and I labored all the way to 8 cm without it. That was the point at which it had to be put in if we were going to use it. I did fine as far as pain b/c although I was in a hospital, I was allowed to walk the entire time up until the epidural was it, and I think that was what made the difference in needing the meds versus not. I could not have labored that long in a bed.I barely made it the half hour they made me stay in the beginning to get a heart rate tracing. I honestly don't believe epidurals ar harful to the child in any way as the medication stays in mom's epidural space and doesn't get transfered to the baby. Mine came out kicking and screaming!! Some of the other drugs the give in an IV, like staydol do transfer though. Long story short, I did fine without the epidural and I feel like i could have delivered without it if she wasn't 9 lbs, but if you need it get it would be my advice. I was glad I had it when it took 45 min to stitch me up after. (sorry if that is TMI, but it along with the fact that the doc had to use froceps were the entire reason for my epidural. It was just not preactical to deliver that large a baby without it in my situation)

I was just thinking the same thing. It is sooo hot here and our kids all wear uniforms with sleeves.

Everything I have seen here is beautiful. I am wanting to start sewing for my daughter can anyone offer help/advice?

I'd recommend the simply sweet dress with the jumper style bodice from CarlaC on youcanmakethis.com if you want practice before that, in the bookmarks are directions for a pillowcase style dress.

Here is my latest for my little one. I was about to give uo last night! After almost finishing the dress, I realized I had not done the bottonholes. Well, one of the buttonholes woukld not work! After trying twice, and ripping it out twice, I had to just sew the one strap on. Thankfully I can still get it on and off her. Hopefully I will be able to at the end on Sept as well

So sweet!

I had to put them in photobucket- So now I know I haven't posted these on here!
Sorry I couldn't find many with out a bunch of other peoples kids in them.So here is lucas and sophia in their outfits. The other picture is the mushu cake and dessert sushi.

These are from the baby shower:

And these are my favorites from our trip:

I have a share site set on shutterfly with the rest of the trip pictures. If you are interested you can check there or pm me.

These pics are awesome! I really love the Mulan outfits and cake.

Love the outfits; I too am jealous about the tank tops.

Can someone help me again? I am finally trying to post pictures, and I am not able to do it. I am following Heather's directions, but I think it's user error. TIA

Sorry to "shout", but you posted a pic awhile back of a Cinderella dress with a bow on the rear to DIE for. Did you just make the bow on your own or do you have any advice where I can find a pattern/directions for one like it????
TIA!!!

Hi there! Feel free to shout, as I often skim over a lot of the thread. You guys move fast and it's hard to keep up! Is this the one?

This was one of my more involved bows, but still not hard. I'll assume you don't want it rhinestone studded, nor would I recommend it.... Big mistake!!!

I do use a single thickness of netting on the inside of my bow fabric, which becomes a double layer when it's folded over. For this style, I construct the "ties" separately and sew them to the bow when it's done. I use snaps to attach it to the back of the dress.

If you need more details, feel free to PM me. Are you working on a special costume??

 

[DznyDreamz]

Hi everyone.

I haven't posted in this thread for quite some time, but I have a new project in mind and am looking for some inspiration by you uuber-creative ladies.

My daughter is doing the Pirate's League makeover in October and I'm wondering if any of you have made any pirate princess type dresses that you can share with me.

Thanks so much!!

Ciaran

So I finished Isabelle's Pooh top, but I am ripping the bottom 2 teirs off. I'll redo them tomorrow. It will still look basically the same, just rufflier!

 

[anggye]

These are school bags I made. I have been into bags lately!!

This is what my 3year oldDD refers to as Elpheba Minnie. This is one of the 1st appliques I have done, still not as great as you ladies and Tom, but I feel that the more I practice, the better I will get!!

That night at 10:00 she went home to be with my Papa in heaven. I know she missed him so and I think in my heart she knew we were all happy and safe. So, today I miss her, but I know she is happy, she can walk, she can breath with out any trouble...she is healed and happy. I will carry her with me forever and there will NEVER be a time I will not sit at my sewing machine and think of her. When I needed to know how to do something, she was always just a phone call away. I sat in her home at her sewing machine yesterday and knew she was with me...it is a love we will always share. I walk around her house and I can smell the collards she taught me to cook (all good southner has to be able to cook good collards!) or hear the gospel music playing. My heart is breaking for her to be near.

Please say a prayer for her today.

Sending my blessings to her and your family today. She seems like quite an awesome lady and you will meet again. Just never forget her and never let anyone else forget her either. Sounds like she shared a lot of love with you and when you feel like reaching for the phone to call her just ask her anyway, she's there... even if you can't see her.

If a person adds you as a "favorite seller" they will get emails from time to time with new items you have listed. Also, as a seller, you can use their email marketing tool to "announce" new items. An email is also sent out to your subscribers when you do a store sale. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me!

Woo hoo! I have to do that!

Looks like a wonderful place for a ribbon or ruffle.

What cutie patooties! Love the dress!

Nice outfits! And I do cakes and the musha is just tooo cute! I heart Mushu I may have to borrow the idea one day.

I'm so sad. DD10 isn't interested in anything I'm making. I just made that last Minnie shirt and I asked her if she wanted something like it, but she said no. I'm thinking if I can make something HM-like then she'll be happy. It just makes me so sad that DD7 will have tons of customized outfits, but DD10 won't. Maybe I'll make iron-on shirts for her.

I have a 10 year old boy and here I am making frilly girlie outfits just because. I had him in the fabric aisle the other day asking him if there was something I could make for him and he wasn't interested... so I am a nut Funny thing is I just make the outfit and then give it to someone who has a girl - last 2 (easy little halter with the tiered ruffle skirts that I am practicing) went to my niece and a girl at works daughter...
I feel your pain....

 

[tracipierce]

If you made it to 8cm without an epidural chances are you would have made it the whole way. That happened to a friend of mine -- she finally got the epidural and then delivered 15 minutes later. Everyone is different regarding their pain tolerance. I think a lot of people just give up right away though or have themselves programmed to think they must have an epidural (or any type of pain meds). It really is a very personal choice and hopefully everyone makes the right decision for herself. I am, however, very willing to encourage and support anyone who is interested in natural childbirth. It's a wonderful experience and can be very empowering. It can also be very exhausting too! My first was 8lbs 13oz and had a huge head -- I had a nasty tear from him, but it was the head circumference rather than the weight.

Serious help needed with patchwork twirl skirt/dress before I go any further.

Ok..help..I love the fabrics and all..but as I piece together the tiers..they look HUGE..like..I could drag them across the house! LOL

I am following Miranda ?sp improvisions as described.

instead of yoke, I used 10--5 1/2 inch wide patches
next tier...10--11 inch wide patches
next tier--20--11 inch wide patches (this looks *insanely* long..even folded in half...) will match up 2 to the 1 above it
bottom ruffle will be 20-22 inch wide patches folded in half.

HELP!!! I can't imagine one petite little 5 year old wearing so much fabric. I want to do this so bad, but don't want to mess it up.

I have until end of day tomorrow to finish at which time Mara, my nanny/housekeeper puts everything away and helps me get ready for a housefull of company for a week and hosting a baby shower saturday.

Part of me says "give it up..you did 2 adorable princess sundresses..be proud and leave it at that" the other part says "noooooo, you cut all those strips, made the bodice and want to do this...do it!"

I'm putting so much pressure on myself I'm almost making myself cry. I really want to do homemade autograph books and passports too but I'm just woman and there's less than three weeks left till our trip..not to mention I do have a business to run.

A little perspective please from anyone who can relate?

I know i could have made it the whole way now in hindsight but the fear was with a large baby and a small pelvis i was going to need a section, and in a hurry if her shoulders got stuck, so it was done as a safety measure. It was a judgement call and the doctor asked that I get it b/c she really had doubts if the baby was going to fit and didn't want to have to wait for a spinal should we end up in distress. She is a really great doc who had her kids without, but she said if she were in the same situation she would have had it done. guess that was my point. If there is any question about the safety of the baby.

Well, not to create controversy, but I consider myself a "victim" of natural childbirth and in NO WAY found it wonderful or empowering. Pain and torture would be the words that I would choose.

I was induced and it had taken almost 20 hrs to get my first contraction. My water had broke but nothing was happening. They wouldn't give me the epidural for fear it would stall the contractions. They did however give me staydol (sp???) which basically puts you in a coma but doesn't remove pain. So I would pass out cold and wake up screaming in agony. At one point I vaugely remember some issues with the heartbeat, umbilical cord around the neck and an internal fetal monitor. I was totally out of it and had no idea what was going on and in incredible pain. It was the worst of the worst.

So, like you say, everyone has different thresholds and what works for one person doesn't always work for others.

You must be one tough woman if you "enjoyed" natural childbirth
