I am finishing up my big give for Jozlynn, but I need a shipping address. I posted on the big Give board as well.

Does anyone have recommendations for a sewing machine for a child? My soon to be 5 yr old is asking for one for Christmas. Hobby Lobby has a little Singer for kids which I though would be great until I read the reviews. Any one have one they really like?

I got Jenna the Purple one by Singer. I think it is called Pixie. It is too cute. It has a couple of stitch options on it and it backstitches too, which is why I chose that one. Whatever you do do not get the little one by Shark. We tried for two weeks to get that thing to sew and it would not sew and the instructions that came with it were so minimal. It was like 1. thread machine 2. sew. I was told that the machine that Singer made for kids is junk. They said that it was really just a toy and not to get that one if you want anything to stay together.

I didn't check in for a couple of days and I come back to about 100 beautiful customs. I Love everything!!!!

Teresa-Jenna wants me to make her some dresses with the Precious Dress pattern because she saw the ones that you posted on Facebook. She loved them and said that you are a good mommy for making those for your daughter.

This outfit is precious and so is your dd.

Thanks!

Really cute.

Thank you!

Front of Dress (I made the front panel larger to accomodate the length of the cat as I thought that was easier than resizing what I wanted to do for the applique ~ so the bottom panel on the front is very small):

A close up of the applique so you can see all my mistakes. The only thing I really don't like (other than the mistakes) is that the cats front legs don't show up well since the thread color closely matches the fabric used. The little stuffed heart on the cat's collar is removeable for washing (it's just looped onto a button):

The back of the Vida:

My model in her first, but definitely not last, Vida -- note the straps are pinned b/c they are way too long and I didn't have time to move the buttons b/f school started:

BIG HUGE THANKS to LisaZoe and Stephres as their tutorials were beyond awesome -- I incorporated bits of both of them. And of course Heather as well for the applique tute.

I already received three compliments on the dress from just dropping my daughter off at school this morning, one being from her teacher who sews and sews well enough that she makes wedding dresses!

So pretty, and love all the bright colors!

Please pray for DGD3, Araeyah. She is having surgery today to put tubes back in both ears, her tonsils and part of her adenoids removed. They can only take part of her adenoids out or she would have an open cleft palette. She has a submucus cleft palette and the only thing closing it is her adenoides. She fights like H*LL when she comes out of anesthesia. DD, GoofyG, is not looking forward to that part.

I'll be thinking of her and hoping everything goes well today!

Just adorable and your applique is really good -- I always have little blips in mine.

Thanks! There are a couple of areas that aren't totally even, but those didn't show up in the photo so I'm hoping no one will notice them at Disneyland, either!

GREAT JOB! I love this!

Thank you!

Great job! Look how cute Violet is!!!!!!! Love the bird pose


Great job!
prayers said! When Kyle had his tonsils and Adenoids out it was AWFUL seeing him com out of anesthesia! I was holding him as they where wheeling him back to his recovery room and he was screaming for me and I was right there and he couldn't tell. He was in pain and wanted me and didn't know I was there. It hurts me to this day thinking about it. Poor guy had to have some more morphine to help with the pain and calm him down. The nurse said all kids are like that but I think she was saying t to make me feel better.

Thanks, Marlo!

Very nice! You did a great job on the applique.



for your DD. I hope it all gets straightened out soon. The waiting is so stressful.

Have a great trip! I'm glad you got the doll's clothes finished too.



Great dress! The applique looks good to me. I've found that once I step back for a bit, the 'mistakes' I saw as I was making something are far less noticeable & often disappear completely.



Poor baby. I'll pray for her & GoofyG. It's going to be hard for both of them, I know.

Thanks! I really didn't think I'd like applique that much, but I definitely prefer it to gathering!

Anyone want a Sneak Peek? This is going to be a Holiday set. The faric is the YUMMIEST MM corduroy! I didn't know these prints were in cord. They are so soft that I kept petting them as I was waiting to get them cut. (I posted this on FB too, so disregard if you've already seen it )

This is what I have been working on for the past few days. Now that all of our activities have started back, I don't have much time to sew. I am so glad these patterns are so easy. Here are Abbie and Maddie. I really do have a little boy, too. I am going to be making him some shirts and promise to post a picture of soon.

I think I asked before but my life is so crazy right now I may have imagined it or missed your response. Where did you get that polka dot bedspread/comforter? My DD12 would love it!!! Could you pm me? Thank you!!!


Cute cat Vida!


Cindee, I pmd you on the big give board.

Some one in the last couple of days requested pics of our sewing rooms. Well my sewing room looks like a tornado hit so NO PICS! But while I was looking online for something else I found this site, It had tons of pics people had posted of their sewing rooms. I hope this will help and inspire you to get decorating.

Help please. I am looking to order some white cotton bike shorts for my girls to wear under their dresses. I can not find any.

I thought maybe some of the online shirt suppliers would also have shorts. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be great. Thank you.

Thank you everyone! It will certainly be interesting adding a 4th...

My daughter orders the cheerleading shorts/bloomers from Danskin for her girls to wear under their dresses. They are really nice because they are not bulky like regular shorts can be.

I wish I had picked up some over the summer too! Aisling had two pairs and got little spots on both of them that won't come out. Since you won't really see them I might let her wear them anyway. I did find "bike shorts" at Target (in the socks section) that are basically just shortened tights...I picked up a pair but I don't know how comfy those would be at WDW. Better than nothing though. Aisling can NOT sit like a lady yet in her dresses Let me know if you have any luck.

Great job on the Vida!!! And compliments from someone who knows difficult sewing must really make you feel good.

What size does your DD usually wear, and what size did you make? I'm asking because my Vida pattern arrived today, and I'm torn on what size to make...she's a very petite 4yo, and the size 3/4 Feliz is so wide on her she can slip off the shoulder straps and pop out of it in a hurry (this is the kid who hates the Feliz!) I had debated making the size 2 width and 3/4 length, and didn't do it.
