she also has a problem with me trying to stick pins in her to hold the skirt up...

Picky little kid!
OK, we're going to play catch up for a bit. I made these back in June. I found 2 great 54" fabrics for $2/yd & decided I'd make me & the girls matching outfits for church. I still need to take pics of the other set.

I love all the outfits you posted!!! Arminda did Locks of Love when she was in 1st grade. It turned out a LOT shorter than I'd planned! Yikes!
And, I loved the pictures of you standing on the toilet!!! I have to admit that I was trying very hard to figure out what was on the back of your toilet! Arminda thought it was a book, and I was really hoping it was a pregnancy test!
Here are the outfits that I made for my July trip that I was going to post and never did. I hope the pictures come out okay.
These are so cute!!! How old is your son?
I wish I could help you, but I don't have PE Design and I've never done a split hoop design!
I don't have PE Design or Embird, but I have looked up how to split a design on Embird. It
looks easy in the tutorial.
I have finished a few things. This is Abbey's Steamboat Willie Outfit. I'll put a shirt under them.

Great job on the outfits!!! They both look fabulous! Anyone could tell it's the Mad Hatter!
Most of the ones with both of us are on the photopass I don't have yet.

We saw aksunshine briefly at the Fireworks dessert party and another disboutiquer at Chef Mickey's. Sorry, don;t know her name, but she has 3 children a daughter and 2 boys named Tristan and Logan I think. That was all I saw all week for customs!
I love the pictures!!! You guys look like you were having fun!
Look! I finally got an avatar!
Thank you Teresa! I don't know why computers throw me for such a loop!
So after how many years (yes - years!!!) I finally have an avatar! So when I need the photo updated after our next trip, will you fix it for m again
!
WOO HOOO!!!
Of course I will!
I so need to get my sewing in gear. Only a few more days and I still have 8 outfits to do.
Question:
So my
saga continues about the dress. I finally got it after almost 2 months and it has a big label on the front of who made it. She serged the label on and it will tear the silk to remove it. The label is in the front about 6 inches from the hem and measures 3.5in by 5in. Am I being to picky by complaining to her. It makes the dress look so tacky. Best part was she sent a reminder about how I need to leave feedback. I am not sure she wants my feedback. I did go thru the pics again and it shows no label.
Thanks.
Ugg! That is frustraing. Could you post a picture of it?
1)
Calm yourself!!
Though it may seem blasphemous on this board- even if you don't get all the customs done, your trip will still be great!
2)I looked!! My eyes! My eyes!!!
Tessa has been talking about American Girl dolls a lot lately.
3)Benita?? Is that you?? I almost didn't recognize you!
1) This is so true! Why you could actually go with NO customs and have a great time. You do what you can and everything will be fine, trust me!!!
And, in two weeks, could you PLEASE remind me the same thing??
2. Oh shush!!!
3. About time, isn't it!
I think I don't have one.... I can't remember. Guess I will see after I post this.
Get one!
I am so impressed with everything that has been posted.
I am in a
funk
I just havnt had the inspiration to sew anything lately. I havnt talked to my sister in 6 weeks since the accident, she wont return my calls. I dont understand why she is acting this way. She even deleted me from her facebook. She had made the comment we were going to sue her to my Dad, which is so not true. I would never do that.
I tried to talk to my Dad about it and he said Her husband talked to a Attorney and he told them to not contact me, even though I told her flat out the day after I fell that we wouldnt do anything like that, and that my health insurance is covering most of it. It really stinks because I feel like I have done somthing wrong, and I have no one to talk to since she was my best friend too.
This literally has me crying. As you all know, my sister is my best friend, I can not imagine something like this happening. I would be devestated. I agree about sending her a letter if she won't talk to you. I'm so so sorry you are going through this.
Oh my, how adorable!!!
Now that IS funny Teresa!
.
Oh, you cracky me up! )(hmm, I need a tongue sticking out smilie. Just imagine one right --------------> here <---------------
It's that time again...I'm looking for new ideas to sew, she's finally outgrown her favorite Disney outfits. I saw a dress on the disboutique photo site that we both loved, but didn't see it on YCMT. The front is plain, and has ties that go around the back, which is totally covered in layers of ruffles. Can anyone please tell me where I can find this?
Looking at all the wonderful creations is dangerous now that DD has an opinion...she wants one of everything!
TIA
It sounds like a Feliz, several Disboutiquers have made those. It is a European pattern, you can get them on Ebay and probably Etsy. There are tutorials for them in the bookmarks too.
I want to thank everyone here for the amazing amount of talent and inspiration. I don't think I would have ever made these outfits without you.
I'm not thrilled with Vidia. I may add a ruffle to the top. If my little one would pull her pants up to where they should be, so much of her belly wouldn't show. I think it's kind of cute, but dh hasn't seen it yet and I think he wont like it.
Neither girl has wings yet. That will be this weekends project. We leave for Disney next Saturday!
The outfits look so cute! I love the Precious Dress. But, the pictures are too tiny!! Please make them bigger!
Okay I talked to my gal at the local shop. She said for you to mark the center left to right with a chalk pencil if you're working on dark material or a water soluable pen. You should have a plastic grid that lays inside of you hoop that is used for lining things up. You line the line on your material with the cross line on the grid. When you move your hoop you realign the line on your fabric with the grid again. That way it should line up for you. Make sure you remove the grid before stitching.
If you want to pm me your phone # I can give you a call and see if I can be of any further help.
You are so sweet to ask about that!
Please ignore the lines. DS has taken my sewing marker so I used permanent as this was a test.
:
April, this looks great!! And, you did it without a multiposition hoop? Good job!
I also think I remember seeing Heather's safari mickey head in a complete applique somewhere? Is there a place we can see finished designs?
I purchased the design but DH wants his to be more "MAN" I am using 5X7 on the back of his shirt that is the black and white zebras. What colours an I use to man it up? He didn't like the red micro dot with yellow hat
Heather has a picture of the Mickey version on her Facebook account, and I think in her Etsy shop, although I'm not sure about that.
Well, the girls did a half decent job cleaning their room yesterday, and since we had to go out today to do school shopping I surprised them with this:
In case you missed it before, here's almost a shot of the back (and I just think it's cute how Emmy and Hannah were walking):
They are so cute!! I'm glad you got to the movie!
Here's the Vida I made for my tomboy's first day of school. She'll wear a dress as long as she likes the fabrics. She LOVES dogs so she loved the dog fabric that I got from fabricsgalore but I was worried she wouldn't like the floral that I got at JoAnns but she loved that too.
Really cute! I love those fabrics!
I finally decided to buy the Carla C a-line. I felt guilty doing it, because I have another a-line pattern that is supposed to be so easy. I am so glad I did. Cutting out the pattern and making the dress took me about two hours. The other one would take me all day. Here is Maddie in her new dress. Sleeping beauty is her favorite princess.
I need to go to bed soon. I have to wake up at 5:00 for ADR's. For those of you who have used the website to make ADR's, is it easy?
Great job, it really turned out cute!
For those with the Brother PE700II...what materials will I need when Igor finally arrives?
Like Shannon said, stabalizer (I use the heavy weight cut away) bobbin thread (although your machine may come with a spool of that), little embroidery scissors with a bit of a curve to them, and thread. Why does it seem like I'm missing something? Extra needles are always a good idea too.
It was well worth it though. It really is nice stuff!
. I couldn't think of any projects at the time for them though. I'd like to see what some of ya'll come up with.
And it should get easier each time - I can say that though because I haven't tried digitizing and multi-hoop designs yet
