[jham]

AIMEE, I thought I had Hannah's NBC outfit quoted on here. I love it! Hmmm, Jayden might need pleather leggings to go under her black petti If I could just figure out what size she is in juniors!

Thank you for the welcomes, I was nervous because I didn't want to upset the wonderful flow of this thread!! I have lots of things I want to post pics of, but I need 10 posts to share photos, right? I tried to multi-quote, but I am tech-challenged. we will be at DL oct.7-11. We are all so excited. This will be my 2 oldests 6th time. My kids think that everyone goes there as often us us!!

SO COOL! We'll be there October 6-11, where are you staying? You must show pictures of your customs so I can spot you in the parks! We need a mini dismeet!

Oh! Finally baby Hannah fell asleep! So I can post a few photos.

This fabric I picked up when I was checking out a new shop, showed it to DD3 who said she wanted a dress out of it...


you cant tell in picuture, but I have a cute bow embroidery stitch on my machine that I did instead of top stitch along top and the rick rack was totally last minute, I found a scrap in my closet and it fit the bodice!

My first experience with co-ops, my fabric arrived in the mail today!

The cupcake dress is adorable and I love all your new fabric! SO fun!

WAY OT question:

Has anyone had a Central Air Unit replaced? We only need the outside unit bought and installed, nothing inside our home.

I had hubby talked into an embroidery machine, and it was in my cart for purchase (darn you HeatherSue you have me hooked...we'll be making your car payment for you one month I'm sure!! ), and the Central Air goes out today So now he says Central Air first, then embroidery machine. I'm hoping I can use it to make Christmas presents for extended family.

You went top Garrett's and you didn't go to AG? They are like 2 streets apart! You were so close! Unless you didn't go to the one on Michigan Ave.

Actually, I did go to the one on Michigan Ave.! Can you believe I did that? I was totally okay with not going at the time but have kicked myself ever since! Bad Mommy! Bad Mommy!

This morning I felt like sewing but not for our trip in 6 days. LOL Yesterday when I was at Walmart I picked up this tank and the "beyond awesome" pleather stretch leggings from the Miley Cyrus collection. LOL

My DD told me- "Mommy, these are the ugliest leggings I have ever seen but I LOVE the shirt. Can I wear this to Kindergarten?" LOL

Her pleather leggings are actually a size 0 from the Juniors department. Here is my daughter channeling her best Joan Jett.

As an FYI, Target has something very similar to those leggings right now in their girls section. I was looking at them the other day when I was there and kind of laughing about them! They are horrible but I was drawn to them for some reason (kind of like a moth to a flame!)!! I kept holding them trying to figure out what to do with them since I knew my girls would love them but couldn't figure it out! Now I know! Thanks Aimee for the idea! I just wish my girls could wear tank tops to school - their straps have to be 3 fingertips wide (totally abstract measurement in my opinion - please give me inches! - since I'm not sure if we are talking about their fingers or mine!). I am thinking I'm going to have to go back now and get them!

Unfortunately we just had our outside unit replaced and $1800 later we have a/c!

Actually that's better than I'm hoping for, so you gave me a little glimmer. Of course this happens with money is tight though. We just returned from the trip and the boys are switching over from fc stipend to adoption subsidy (which takes a while). LOL not though,t hat it was gonna stop me from an embroidery machine!

I am glad that was better than you expected!

Wow, I think I am finally caught up. After trying to stay off of here to get some sewing done, 2 birthdays and then I was sick I was WAAAYYY behind. So I have been on here almost all day skimming through, I love all the new stuff . Glad to see lots of pics. of the Feliz I finally got the pattern and enough New fabric to do 2 and now I have lots of inspiration, . Now I just need to get off here and finish the 4 shirts I have left for my customer.


Marah--sorry to hear your trip wasn't the greatest, when we went in May I think we had more things go wrong than they ever have which is why I would love to go back this year but I don't think we will get there till next year either. Well I am glad everyone made it home safely and is willing to have a do-over.



Minnie Van Mom--I have a Brother 270D, I have had it for about 2 years but would love to have the Brother Duetta (this does sewing and embroidery), Brother does make one that does Embroidery only, which might save you a little if that's what you are looking for. Like someone else said-you only get Digitzing software if it is offered as a package deal otherwise it is a seperate purchase. I have had my software for about 8 months and detailed faces are not the easiest to digitize, but simple shapes are pretty easy, it just takes time and practice. Hope this helps you with your purchase, have fun shopping!

Thanks pixie!

We have to make it better in 2010, we just have to. Adi and I were kinda talking about a little Disbou meetup would be wonderful in December 2010, if anyone is interested in meeting for a breakfast or dinner or something.

 

[Jajone]

Whoever made the boxy bags, what size is the finished bag? I am wondering if it is big enough to really use as a bag for all my beauty products when I travel.

We are in the tentative stages (meaning: dh said it was okay, but he didn't want to hear about it until 6 months or so before) of planning a trip in early Dec. 2010.

I am finally getting the nerve up to post. I have been lurking here for the last year. We are avid visitors at Disneyland, but have never been to the World. We are planning an Oct. trip to DL, and my husband thinks I'm crazy because I have started making customs. You all are a really bad influence on me. After each custom I see, I feel a need for a new one!!

Do you have any to show us yet?

Ok I am working on my little ones 3rd Birthday dress. I am using Mccalls 5793 view A ... I am not wanting to do the flowers or the ribbon at the waist (pattern calls for ribbon and not a sash) I want to make it a bit more fun and festive but I just dont know how .. Any ideas ?? The fabric for the dress I got a walmart at the begining of summer it is light pink with kind of a retro design to it in different shades of pink,red,teal and light green oh and yellows...For the yoke I am using a bright almost hot pink. I tried to copy and paste a picture of it but it is not working of for me .. sorry

What about the ties on the other versions? I like the tie in the front. Some piping maybe? Can't wait to she what you come up with.

Yes, they are hideously trashy. Just what I want to put on my daughter. Daddy has not seen them yet. LOL It is funny because I am really particular about keeping my girls looking like little girls for as long as possible.

I am not sure if our ES has a tank top rule. I was thinking of putting this tank over a long sleeve tee when it gets colder this fall. That might work for you.

My first experience with co-ops, my fabric arrived in the mail today!

Is that from fabric obsession? Now that I see the princess fabric better, I am kicking myself for not getting in on that...I should be getting my 1st obx any day now to!

Whoever made the boxy bags, what size is the finished bag? I am wondering if it is big enough to really use as a bag for all my beauty products when I travel.

I have not finished my first yet since I used the wrong zipper! But, you use a 14 in zipper..so it is atleast that long. & you start out with 14.5x18 pieces of fabric. So I am thinking that it would...but not sure how much you pack.

 

[jessesgirl]

Ok first has anyone made the dresses from McCalls 5793? It calls for the entire dress to be linned.. I am wondering if that is really needed. I can see lining the bodice but the skirt too? It calls for a very big and fluffy petticoat. We are in Texas so it doent really get all that cold here. Anywho any input on this would be awesome...
Alright question # 2 do you think it is possible to turn McCalls 5951 into an Ariel inspired dress?? I am kinda thinking that I could make it work with view C but I am not just 100% convinced just yet. Any help would be awesome...

Sorry for so many questions. I am just trying to get a ton of projects done for Birthdays,Halloween, Thanksgiving,Christmas and stuff for the baby b4 I either get too big and miserable (Im not far from that now LOL) or the baby gets here (I am due Nov 1st) i am trying to prioritize but that is not going all that well .. LOL ..

I am really loving all the creations I have seen lately !! It is always fun to look around on here when I have a little time.. have a great day ladies ..

Has anyone made bathing suits before? I can not find a boy short bottom that my cheeks don't hang out of. I bought material to make on instead. I wanted to know if anyone had any tips? I checked the bookmarks but didn't find anything about swim suits/bathing suits.

Does anyone know what the "Kuddly Kits" at Joanns are?

Here is the link:

It doesn't give dimensions or fabric type or anything.

I made my first dress for my baby girl. It took longer than most of the dresses I have made for my 3 year old! It is a little big but I have two months until we go to Disney!
