Miss HeatherSue, when you get a gift you are supposed to say thank you and smile. (Not sell it on Ebay LOL)


Love Morgan

Finally!! I've had the Vida done on this for awhile, but finished the jeans on Monday. Come to find out Em has had a growth spurt, and a 5slim doesn't fit her anymore - no way, no how!! So I had to re-do the jeans!! Emily LOVEs this set and actually had fun modeling.

I'm so excited to be actually sewing something for our October Disney trip, that I had to share before it's finished! I'm making this for Tessa for 1900 Park Fare. I'm going to do a shirt with my Cinderella cutie design on it to go with it. But, I haven't started that yet.
Here's the front:

And the back:

Here are some closeups of the appliques I digitized for it:

I hadn't trimmed the threads on these yet and I fixed the "y" in the first design:

I know that's a lot of pictures, but there will be even more when it's finished and I get some pictures of Tessa wearing it!

 

[emcreative]

Oh Heather that's absolutely STUNNING!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Heather that is absolutely beautiful!

Went to moms today to work on some designs we got from a certain someone on etsy and we had some technical difficulties. She just bought a new computer with vista and her program will not work with it! She called pfaff and they told her she needed to upgrade! The lady at the store said $2000! AHHHHH. She called back for more info and was told that program she can digitze with and she has no need for that, so oer $700 later we may have a working program....

Got nothing done today...hopefully her next day off next week....

That is so sweet! I want one! Love all the different icons.

 

[tricia]

Wow! That is SO cute! I think you did a fantastic job on the applique!

Cool on the mini dismeet and spending time with your sister. I don't have a sister, but I love spending time like that with my mom when the rest of the family is not around.

And thanks for the compliment on George, of course I would have never even dared something like that if not for your SUPER AWESOME TUTORIAL.

Awesome. And don't you hate it when they grow like that without permission? How dare she!?!?!?!

And the back:

:

Oh, Heather, those are fabulous. Right now I don't think I would use an embroidery machine enough to make it worthwhile, but if my DB and his wife would hurry up and get pregnant AND have a little girl, I may just have to consider it. Your designs are so awesome.

OHHH That is absolutely gorgeous!!! I have a 3 year old who wants it. I told her that I can't do anything like that and she doesn't beleve me. I guess I should be happy that my children think I'm that talented!!!

My first disboutique board share! Okay, so i know it isn't anything special, or (disney related LOL) but I just wanted to share an outfit my daughter Gianna & I put together for her 7th birthday party. She had it at an old fashioned ice cream parlor & decided she wanted a vanilla, chocolate & strawberry themed outfit. I don't have an embroidery machine, so I cheated and bought the tank on etsy, but she "designed" the skirt & I sewed it and I even snuck a fabric hair tie on her (mom....bows are sooo babyish!!) so here she is...my now 7 year old DIVA Gianna!
Thanks...Krysta

Oh no, I hope you're able to sort it out without any more expense.

Then you would like this one I made two years ago to go to Disneyland.

Sorry they are not the best of pics because she was going through a sprinkler at the rest stop so the dress is quite wet in the second pic.

This is the other one I made for this trip.

Cute; those are great; love the fabrics!

Wow! Those are fabulous! I want to do something with the cindy shoe and the phrase "The right shoe can change your life" or "A shoe can change your life" but I haven't figured it out yet. Of course, if you have any ideas

Very, very cute!!!!

What kind of stabilizer are your using? If I use anything sticky, it'll make my thread break. Here are some other things you could try:
1. change your needle
2. rethread your machine
3. retrehad your bobbin
4. try a different spool of thread

I will try that all of that. I am using the same stabalizer that I have used in the past so I don't think it is that. I am afraid that it is the thread but I don't have any other brown. I guess I will go buy some. Thanks!

Awesome!

Love it! I want an embroidery machine!!

I am so sorry you had to deal with clueless HR people. I would like to tell you that it has gotten better....I was told that if I went to China, I would be fired by my Manager. I walked out and called a lawyer. FMLA guarantees certain protection (and imposed fines to anyone who violates it)

I am so proud of the company I work for. My good friend is on a 5 week paid leave right now for the adoption of her son. He is 3 1/2 and she was his foster parent from 2 days old. His adoption was final a week ago and now she gets her time to celebrate with him. We even got her a cake and gift basket of things for her kids.

It's too bad not all companies are like that. She had it rough...having to come to work after being up all night with a week old baby. Just because she didn't give birth to him.

Oh I love Bambi! Show those pictures here will ya? There was the sweetest Babmi dress on recently, I just couldn't pay that price. Wanted to though. Even tried to pick a fight with my DH so I could "make myself feel better" by spending money on DD. Didn't work though.

LOL! Luckily my DH tick me off so I have a great new outfit coming.

Cute!!

Question for those who have done fabric Coops
I'm sorry to be the official group troublemaker, but:
I had a weird situation today, and while trying to be vague enough, I'm wondering if y'all can tell me if my expectation was wrong.

A large group of fabrics that was seasonally based was being ordered yesterday.
On the run up to it, there was a lot of tooing and froing to fill bolts.
I originally chose 3 yrds; one main fabric and two coordinates, to do a Vida
one of my coordinates didn't get enough orders to fill a bolt, so was dropped. No problem, moved it to another coordinate.
Then they were having problems filling, so I added a yard of each, thinking I could also do a ruffled capri, peasant top, maybe a stripwork skirt with the extra.
Then today, the owner says the order was placed and all but one fabric will be arriving as expected, the other fabric won't come for another month. and those who ordered it would have to pay extra shipping.
Of course, that was one of the coordinates I needed.
So I asked the group owner if she had any suggestions
She accused me of lying and basically having buyers remorse and not wanting it.
So now, I'm trying to figure out how to handle this. I'm obviously stuck with a bunch of fabric that hopefully DD will agree to wear next year. I would have thought that she would try to help me come up with a solution, at least not charging the extra shipping, but no, she immediately became angry.

So my question is, 1. Did I unknowingly do something wrong? 2. How do you think I should handle it at this point? 3. Is this sort of thing common? Cause I really didn't need this drama today.
TIA

I am part of a co-op. I really do not like it. I did one order back in Feb and I am still waiting on fabric. I will not be ordering again. As soon as I get the rest of my fabric I will be closing my account.

for anyone following my coop question: apparently I shouldn't have asked, 'cause I've been pretty unceremoniously kicked out. Are you guys sure you're all ok having such a "black sheep" hang out here?

OMG was it because you asked here? That was craptastic!

I love this. Did you use Carla's scalopini pattern? How big are you appliques. That is so cute!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Finally have pics of finished outfits! Had a storm, so moved photo shoot to the living room.... Here are the AK dress and the story book outfit! Fogot to add...the mickey head is my first non square applique! My sewing machine actually cooperated with me and the material didn't pucker thanks to that great stuff you put on the back of the material!

Now off to work I go.

Hi, I am totally out of my element here but I just wanted to say that you all are SO tallented. I you all and all the beautiful things you have made. I just wish I had a little girl to sew dresses for. They are all so cute!! I'm a quilter (only been quilting for a little over 2 years now) and have not yet ventured over to the world of making clothes but you all sure are making me want to try my hand at it! I've been looking at the pictures on your photobucket account and I'm in love with all the great things you all have made.

Anyways, good work one and all! Keep it up! Also, all of your children are just adorable!!

Welcome! Nice to see another quilter (and Georgian) here! The leap to clothes making isn't so big for me...I started in clothing, went to quilting and now doing both! Compared to quilting, making clothes has more 'instant gratification'! I like that!

First of all, I have quickly read everything that has been posted but forgot to multiquote. As usual, every one has created some great outfits. I love both Vidas (the Pooh and Halloween), the Minnie Princess Dress is unbelievable, and Marah I am so impressed with your applique -- to me it looks like your 100th applique -- not your first! Love the new kitty as well. If it's a girl I say name it Candace in honor of Phin and Ferb.

April, I so hope your mom's dog comes home safely. I know cats are great at disappearing for days and I have had a few stories about dogs as well that make it home safely. Our pets are our families as well.

And, after seeing HeatherSue's latest endeavor (I am oh so jealous!!!) maybe I should wait a few days to post my pics, but here goes anyway.

DD loves horses so I made her a ruffle halter from YCMT and Carla C's easy fit pants, which I wanted to be capris and they turned out more like crop pants. I presume it's b/c dd is so frickin' skinny. I think I need to take the pattern in a bit for her. Also, I hand ruffle and see I really could have done a better job on the shirt, but it's really not noticeable when she wears it (and she wore it to the dentist today and got compliments )

Here are pics of the top and pants:

View of the back:

Not the greatest lighting but shows off the outfit:

And here is a picture of nsdp (not so dear puppy). He is nsdp b/c he chewed the corner of "Sewing For Dummies" which I checked out of the library. I never even opened the dang book, but took it back to the library yesterday. Being the good citizen I am I took it in to the librarian and told her what happened and expected to be fined a couple of bucks. Wrong!!! $24.99 later I now own a used dog chewed copy of the book. The book is still very usable as he only damaged a few pages on the corner, but I'm not happy about the $25 that I instead could have spent on fabric!

I think I'll make him a devil costume for Halloween and dress his sister as an angel (though she's clueless with potty training so an angel isn't really fitting).

And I MUST put in my two cents on the adoption issues. My heart goes out to all of you have adopted. DH and I very seriously considered international adoption but we ran into a couple of problems with him being in the military (he was required to be present for an adoption and with his going to sea all the time we may have had to turn down referrals) and the issue of of us not being able to sell our house in RI (again military related that we even had to get that house in the first place!). So due to timing and finances it's not working out. Which just kills me as someone had posted that they received comments about adopting for financial gain -- if only they knew! Adoption is a hard emotional, financial, and selfless act. It makes me cry that some of you have friends and family members who don't accept your adopted child(ren) as your own. I just do not understand it. You are more their parents than the person who gave birth to the child. It pains me to hear your stories.

I could go on and on, but I digress. I actually won't be sewing for the next few days b/c I am helping a friend with her dd's birthday party this Sunday. I am making the cake and food. My friend has breast cancer which progressed to the lungs, brain and bones. She just had another seizure the other night and isn't even sure if she will be at her own daughter's party. Her dd is turning 5, and btw, she was adopted from China. My dh and I threw the family a couple's baby shower when they adopted and thankfully they've received a lot of love and support from family and friends
Anyway, please keep my friend in your thoughts that she's well enough to attend her daughter's party. It's at the Botanical Gardens so I'm making a caterpillar and flower cake. I will hopefully get cake pics posted on Monday (I am not at all a professional, but I can make a decent looking cake).

After that, I'm going to attempt either a stripwork Simply Sweet with applique or a skirt with a t-shirt applique for dd for Halloween -- fabric is already washed and just waiting for me to get my hands on it. It will be my first applique!
