I want a serger, too. If anyone finds one laying around for $50, let me know.
Here are Maddie's new hippie jeans. I just realized I forgot to topstitch. Maybe I will remember later. Thanks again Steph for your wonderful tutorial!
I forgot to attach Maddie's Thanksgiving Day outfit. She is napping right now, so I don't have a picture of her wearing it. But I am not about to wake her.
Maybe I did it right this time.

I'm sorry to hear this. That must be horrible to learn. One of our neighbors is growing some 'Plants' on their balcony and a police officer told me that one of my other neighbors was most probably a drug dealer, because of how their apartment is completely blacked out including the baby's room.
Nini, I am so sorry you are upset and I have to agree, there is guarantee of safety anywhere.
Well, she was there with us and she's part of the reason we were so happy!She looks so pretty! I love it!
I believe she got my Brother CS6000i for $30! My sister is the queen of smokin' deals! Although, I got my Viking embroidery machine for FREE! So, maybe I'm the queen!
I'm with you! I don't like making the same thing more than once either!
I can't wait to see pictures! It's not a problem if the carriage is off-center. It just gives it a sense of motion!
I wasn't thinking that I could link to that! Thanks!
I enjoy your long-windedness immensely!One of the ladies who comes on this board off an on (theseamstress, Laura) lives near me. We were talking one day, and she told me about a serger underneath the cutting table at a nearby Walmart! She said I should go see if they would sell it cheap. So, I went to the Walmart and found it. Unfortunately, the person who could make me a deal wasn't there that day. So, I had to call back the next day. When I finally got hold of her, she told me I could have it for $50, because she was just tired of having it around. It didn't have a cord or a foot pedal, but I called Singer up when I got it home and they sent me one for free!
Or, I could have just told you:
It was a floor model.But, that wouldn't have been NEARLY as much fun, would have it!
That outfit is fabulous!!! I love it!! I have that Nemo fabric you used in the jeans and I could never figure out what to do with it. This is a great idea! I imagine it would work great as a stripwork skirt, too. Your daughter is too cute!I want a serger, too. If anyone finds one laying around for $50, let me know.

And here is Maddie's Thanksgiving Day outfit. I took her fabric shopping and she picked out the blue print. She said everything else was ugly. That is the only fabric she wanted. She doesn't even like the orange, but I told her she has to have pants. I can't wait until she gets older and starts having an opinion of her own
I have to get off of here and go get ready. I have to take Gray to the doctor today. I am trying to get him off of one of his asthma medicines. I don't know if I have ever taken my kids to the doctor when they were well. This will be a new experience for us.
Very cute! I love that fabric!I forgot to attach Maddie's Thanksgiving Day outfit. She is napping right now, so I don't have a picture of her wearing it. But I am not about to wake her.

I watched the whole video and I loved it! It surprised me how much she acts like Tessa!
Yikes!
It's awful that no neighborhood is a "safe" neighborhood anymore.
1.) I love you too!1)That's perfect! I just love you, my dear!
2)Thank you oh so much for putting that in big 'ol letters!

Gorgeous! Can't you go on a camping trip or something so they can wear them again? They're too cute to only wear once!Ok.. here is so more Disney customs from our trip... I'll get them all posted someday... hahaha
Jessica did the appliques for me, but I did the actual construction of the outfits...
So sad that they wore them for a day only... we will not get a chance to wear them again.
I love that girl!!! Hope she's feeling better- sending her hugs.
Cute!Just finished this outfit for the Big Give for a baby -
I can't believe no one knew who she was, of course she's traveling Tink! She looks amazing!Here are some pictures from tonight's Zoo Boo. We were lucky that it got rained out on Thursday and Friday of last week, so they did it again tonight to make up for it. That worked out for us, since Jenna only got to do 30 mins worth of Trick or Treating on Saturday night. Anyways, Jenna wanted to be Tinkerbell from the new movie. It took me a couple of days to get it done due to all of the pieces that she has one.
Jenna was so proud of her costume. She was telling everyone who she was. Only one person knew exactly who she was.
It's beautiful! Great job!I think most of you saw my pictures of the Bo Peep costume I made on Facebook, but here it is in case you missed it.
I hope I don't get thrown out for making the non disney version.
Hannah and I both love how it came out. I wasn't thrilled with the smocking, but didn't have time to rip it out and fix it. Her skin tone and dress colors are too light so they kinda blend in. I was very pleased that everyone knew who she was when we went trick or treating. Oh and I have to mention.. this pink fabric is so yummy! It is a swiss voille something. I love it. It is so soft.
I couldn't bring myself to cut off any of the fabric. I have this pretty scallop edged swiss embroidery to put on the bottom. Maybe I'll do it when she grows a bit.
Cute!I haven't posted any pictures of my creations, but I wanted to share my boys' Halloween costumes. They chose Dopey and Prince Charming. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Fab!Here are a few customs I did for our September Disney trip. Let me know what you think.
Dawn
Awesome!I posted our Day 1 and 2 yesterday and I will try to continue with day 3 and 4 (and maybe get to the others shortly)....
On our 3rd full day @ the world, we went to the Animal Kingdom. I think these may have been my favorite outfits. Not sure if you can see from these pictures, but the band under bodice has Mickey faces with zebra print.
Day 4 was back to Magic Kingdom...Mia had BBB reservation that morning so she wore her Ariel costume that she picked out most of the day...these were first thing that morning before her reservation...
After the breakfast.....we changed them into Wall-E for the rest of the day in Epcot
I will try to get a few more uploaded to photobucket and post the last couple days.
Wow! Amazing- I love the pic on Cindy's horse!Day 6 was our second day to go to Hollywood Studios. For this day, the girls wore JoJo (and thankfully we saw JoJo on this day) and Snow White.
Our last full day we started out with a CP breakfast to celebrate Wendy's birthday....I posted this dress a few weeks ago but will post again....
After breakfast, they changed into their Cinderella overalls. These were probably the hardest of all of them. As with all of the overalls (except Wall-E), all of the appliques are hand pieced and satin stitched (no embroidery machine yet, so I do it the old fashioned way still....I am saving up for one though).
And just because Mia was so excited to ride the carousel and actually get on "Cindy's horse", I had to post this one!!!
That's a lot of pictures, sorry to overload. Believe it or not, they had a couple more customs each that they never wore but I am sure some lucky person will benefit from them.
Oooh, great job! What pattern did you use for Patric! I want to make Danny an Obi Wan Kenobi outfit for Christmas, but can't find any kind of pattern in kids sizes; ugh!Hi all! I have not been around in a while because I have decided to stay sick forever!!!!
I love all of your costumes! They look great!
Wanted to share my babies too...
The force was strong in my house this year for sure!
ETA - in case you can't tell...Timmy is a Jawa...(Luke bought the droids from the Jawa's)...Patrick is Luke and Katie is Leia
Love it! Sorry about the problems, can't tell on the finished shirt; glad you're using your new baby!AS most know our DS has autism which means life is different for us. For some unknown reason he really wanted a tinkerbell mickey shirt. I told him tink is a girl and mickey is boy, they don't mix. That just doesn't work with autism.
So with much help from digitalbydesign, we want to present you with TinkerMickey
This was the first applique on the new machine and I had a major problem when the screws on the large hoop didn't stay tight and the fabric slipped out! I did the last two colours by hand but I think it is hard to tell where.
I have the Brother 1034D. It works like a dream (just be sure to never, ever run pins through the cutting blades) and was just under $200. Does everything I need it too, I love it and am amazed I ever lived without it!
So cute! Both of them- I just ran out of image spaceI forgot to attach Maddie's Thanksgiving Day outfit. She is napping right now, so I don't have a picture of her wearing it. But I am not about to wake her.
Maybe I did it right this time.
Now that I'm working, we need to take the kids over summer vacation instead of during school. Downside- crowds
but on the upside: DS's birthday (I can't believe my baby will be turning 8), Star Wars weekends (Did I mention he's the worlds biggest jedi fan?) Better weather with less chance of a hurricane, and it's 3 months sooner!!!!! I'm so essited!!
