[lori123]

Morning all!
I hope this is ok to post......
I am part of an organization called 24/7 Moms - http://247moms.blogspot.com/ - every Tuesday night there is a live webshow and tonight is going to be GREAT! In fact it isn't going to be much of a "show" because we have over $3000 in prizes to give away so we will just be doing that one after another! And tonight I will be a cohost - so come watch the show and win some prizes! Show is at 7pm PST/ 10pm EST - just click the link to the blog, sign in to the show and start chatting to win!

First...TBI? The only time I have heard that in a medical situation is Traumatic Brain Injury...

Second...I know several of you make bags, both Tote Bags and Handbags. I've been looking at YCMT and am having trouble deciding which one to start with...(after Disney of course!) Does anyone have a favorite, suggestions or warnings?

I'm really bad about purchasing patterns and never using them. The amount of time between Disney and Christmas (less than 3 months) is going to put a crimp in my sewing/quilting time (I've got 3 quilts that absolutely have to be finished ) so I don't want to waste my time with a pattern that I won't even use.

Thanks in advance!


Third...do some of you EVER sleep?

I really like the Simple and Chic handbag at YCMT

NCmomof2 I had to check when you were going because I thought if we ran into eachother and my daughter was wearing this dress they may all look like sisters, I love black and white with pink or red, this dress is for our Cinderella's breakfast.

I love the color combo. I am really loving the look of the Vida, I don't have the pattern. I am thinking about using Lynette's CASE in the bookmarks. What are the sparkly's on Cindy's shoe? Is it glitter? Beautiful work

Thanks! My FQ has no selvage so I didn't even know the manufacturer. I did get another Marcus Brothers' print from JA that I really liked - it's black and white flowers with just a small hint of yellow in the centers. I just liked the FQ print because it had red as well. Of course I just wish it was a whiter white instead of more of an off-white.

Yea - I was wishing it was more of a white-white as well. I thought it was when I ordered it....

Well Ms Kitty gave the first dress to her friend the monkey (which may or may not be a boy ) yesterday so she could have a Halloween themed dress with kitties in costume on the front and back panels. Another friend put in a request for a Christmas themed dress. Ms Bunny is still being too hard to please. I think she was hinting that the dress doesn't have enough twirl to it, though.

It sounds like Ms Bunny need an attitude adjustment! Can you make her a "feed sack" dress and remind her of what she COULD be wearing?

Oh and poor mr/miss monkey?!?! to have an identity crisis so young

 

[emcreative]

I thought my daughters Lion and cheetah were the only ones with identity crisis. Sometimes they are boys, sometimes they are girls, sometimes they are girls who like to dress like boys. I think it's because my daughter can't make up her mind how much of a tomboy she wants to be, lol.

Hmm, maybe they all came from the same Build a Bear and plotted together!

Cute!! Love the matching dresses!!

I think the topstitching does make it a little more durable. It lays nicer too and makes pressing after its washed easier.

Thanks! I guess I will be going back and topstiching!

ANDREA!OMG...I love you! Okay my DH may not after this. I just went to Walmart. How did I never know that one still had fabric (except that I only work in VB not live). They had pink sparkle with the crowns on it..perfect for the backpack I'm working on. They also had some curious george stuff (NOT FLEECE) that I've been looking for. And of course I got a bunch of other stuff. I can not thank you enough for telling me that one still had fabric.

Just wanted to answer your question about the handbags. I have the Aivilo Pocket Handbag pattern from YCMT. I love it. I think I have made 12 for family and friends so far. Everyone keeps asking me for them. It is very easy and looks good in all sizes.

This one is very small, for a 4 yr old:



And this one is larger, for a teacher to carry her books:

Those are great!

Love this- can I CASE it please?????????????

Thanks! My FQ has no selvage so I didn't even

Wow, sounds like serious drama at your house; makes me think of an alternative soap opera. I agree, potato sacks only for Ms. Bunny - that will sort her out. And it's nice to know that Mr/Ms monkey is comfortable with their feminine side. Sounds like Ms Kitties come up a winner, though!

Finally got some pics taken today. You may notice a puss on her face in the princess vida (which I know I cased from someone on here). Sara Beth told me she is too old for princesses today. NO! She is only 5!

Well, I am off to work. Thanks for looking!

Hopefully she'll love princesses again tomorrow, because the dress is lovely. I love em both.

I hear you on that ..
I drive an extra 10 miles to get to the walmart that has fabric...
I wounder why some have it and some don't...

I have been looking and looking where is the fabric swap? I have some fabric for it (finally) and I can't seem to find the link

It is a cheap pink fine net like material I got at Walmart, the sparkles are somehow fused onto the material and they lasted through a wash too!!
"Love this- can I CASE it please?????????????"
WooHoo someone wants to case little ol' me -go right a head I am trilled!!!

We just got back from a Florida/WDW trip yesterday and I'm not completely caught up, but I'm just jumping back in the recent past for now. ::waves::

Look on the first page of the thread, there is a link there.

That one got closed by the mods because of too many mentions or insinuations about payments. I thought one was going to start on Facebook, but I can't find it.

One hasn't been started on FB. I am willing to start it on yahoogroups - I think it would be easier than FB, if others are interested I'll do it. Just let me know and I'll get on it.

 

[Camping Griswalds]

So I'm wondering. If I don't have a Vida pattern, but really really really really want to make a Vida....and I have a vida that someone else has made us...do you think there is a way to "trace" what I have and make my own pattern from that? The tutorials really make it look like a vida is within my reach. But I'm not often inspired to sew anymore, and I want to do it NOW instead of waiting for a pattern...which I will have to trace anyway right? So do I just try to "rig" a pattern from this existing dress for my DD??

I would be interested. Yahoogroups is a great place and so easy to use.

Um, I'm pretty sure they'll just have to see what your daughter is wearing to guess that. Of course your insistence that the princesses do a 360 degree turn during 'meet and greets' as you take photos from all angles will be another clue.

Absolutely!!
