Would those of you that pray please say a prayer for my brother? He was tragically struck and killed by a car Friday night. My Dad died 12/12/67 when I was 6 years old so my brother was like a Dad to me.

I am so sorry for your terrible loss. It is so hard to loose someone you love but it is especially worse when it happens at holiday time. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Hi All,
I am fortunate enough to live not too far from Jennifer Paganelli's home. Which means I had to honor of seeing her home while I checked out her "Holiday Sale". My main reason for going was to meet Carla (Scientific Seamstress of YCMT) In fact, I loved it so much I went twice! Carla was SOOOOO sweet, she's so cute too and she was wearing one of her creations- a cute dress- Molly?? was the pattern name maybe. I had so much fun chatting with her and I bought one of her dollies to give to Hannah for Christmas (made with Sis Boom fabrics of course) with a face like Raggedy Ann. She was so busy cutting fabric for everyone. But still had time to discuss a pattern question I had and she GAVE me a couple of her super cool new pattern formats- on cd, can't wait to show my local quilt shop and beg them to carry them. I have to make the baby bubble for SURE for Hannah for Disney world.
The first day I bought the fabric megan is wearing below, along with another I have not used yet. The second day I returned and purchased fabric to make a Patricia tunic for my Mom for Christmas)
Im just sorry I didnt get to meet Louie!
Its been ages since I have done the portrait peasant dress- I forgot how easy and fun it is!
It's been really hard for me to sew like I used to with the baby and Hannah. But I had this done in a weekend.
Megan (due for a hair cut!!!)


and for here is the gown Crystal made for Megan for Halloween. I never would have been able to get this done in time and it came out perfect!

the back

why yes, that is a baby unicorn...
(store bought)


thanksgiving...sorry I dont seem to have a photo of her wearing it, and it looks so much better on.
(I did get around to pulling out gathering stitches)

The girls (and their customs!) are so adorable! I love the Picture Peasant and the Thanksgiving - and of course the Cinderella is awesome. I think I have that baby unicorn costume at my house, too!

Would those of you that pray please say a prayer for my brother? He was tragically struck and killed by a car Friday night. My Dad died 12/12/67 when I was 6 years old so my brother was like a Dad to me.

So sorry for your loss - you (and your family) will be in my prayers.

Prayers are being sent for those in need. I wish you peace.

I finished uploading my pics of the Tiana outfit I made as a gift for the angel tree here.

I hope that they will like it. It was so fun puttig it together. Now to work on some outfits for my own girls.

Awesome Tiana custom! The little lady who receives this is gonna love it! What a special treat to get something made with so much love on Christmas morning!

What I've Been Working On - HELP NEEDED!!!

First, the good:
Birthday Dress for my son's friend - My take on a Hannah Montana...her initials are EP, so I jazzed up a logo for her...

Three finished Christmas purses that need to get mailed to the mainland ASAP - the first and last are identical, so you get front and back in one shot...

Reversible A-line Top for Emmy (my first Carla A-line!)

And now the help needed - my first Easy Fit pants! What a disaster! I wasn't worried about making these at all, as everybody says they are so great and so easy - I guess I should have been worried! I thought I followed the instructions exactly, but there is no booty room in my pants! I haven't tried them on her yet - I finished after her bedtime last night - but I know they aren't going to go over her diaper. I am so bummed - I am going to try to squeeze her in them for pics, as they are so cute, but this and the A-line was supposed to be her school outfit today.

Does anybody know what I did wrong? I would LOVE to make more pants with these instructions, but I gotta have some booty room in the pants! So bummed....

LOL...I did the same thing! Believe it or not...the current 'booty' area is actually the leg! Not only did I do that ...but twice on two different outfits at two different times...you think I would learn!

Great HM dress, and adorable A-Line.

At first when you mentionned the 'no booty room', I was thinking, well, that is just how those pants are, cause the front and the back are the same.

BUT, then I saw what you meant. Looks like you either cut it wrong, maybe, used the leg end for the waist, and then elongated the waist side to the right length for legs. OR, you folded down the waist WAY to much for the casing. Either way, you sure did end up with some cool LOW RISE easy fits, although that may not be appreciated by a toddler in a diaper.

that is what I thought too.

At least she got the print going the same way for both legs. I have done the print up one side and down the other thing a few times.

I am do terribly sad for your loss. Prayers are being said.

Does anyone know how much the babylock imagine and the babylock enlighten cost? After all this talk about serger's I looked them up and they seem incredible, so I was wondering how much they cost and I cannot find any info on the internet. Also, does anyone know if the imagine gathers (I saw that the enlighten does 2:1). I won't be able to get one any time soon, but I was just wondering how much (and how many years) it would take me to save for one TIA!

 

[tvgirlmin]

Thanks for the help, girls! That is exactly what I did, Nini!!!! After I had some caffeine this morning, I went downstairs and read through the instructions again - it says plainly on them to be careful about reversing the legs and booty, but I was tired and did it anyway! Glad I am not the only one to make this boo boo...

And I may have got the print right on the pants, but i had to cut out the Santa hat applique on the A-line twice cause the first time the birds were upside down! Yesterday was just not a good sewing day for me - I have a tutu to make today, lets hope it goes better...

Thanks again for the help! You ladies rock!

 

[NiniMorris]

Hey, speaking of gthe print going the wrong way...over the weekend we were looking at an expensive boutique in the mall. They had some really cute dresses at over a hundred dollars apiece. Over half of them had the fabric going upside down on at least one portion of the skirt! Unbelievable!

There is a reason I always buy a bunch of extra fabric on a directional print! More than once I have had to redo something!

I have been wanting to get that pattern... I now know to avoid that mistake.

OMG, that is just too much. My mom has a pair of Pooh PJs that has the print upside down on a few pieces. I just couldn't believe it.

I bought my Babylock Imagine Wave 2 years ago and paid $1500 for it. I does gather and you can get a foot that gathers and attaches all at once. I use it constantly, it's the only way I do gathering. I just leave one side seam open, gather my ruffle onto my garment and then sew up the side seam. I LOVE my serger and use it on just about everything that I sew. If you can wait until you have the money it is definitly worth every penny!

Definitely will say a prayer. I lost my mom and dad several years ago (not same year for both) but both just before Christmas. I know how hard it must be for you. I pray peace for you and your family.

Hope it's okay to ask this.....
For those of you that sell....how does copyright work??? I get most of my "by hand" applique designs from the internet or coloring books. Are outfits with these on them okay to sell on etsy and/or ebay?? I see them on there, I'm just curious. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words. I think you could save your adorable pants if you take the elastic back out of the waist & add a band of fabric to the top to give it more length up top & make a new casing. Just a thought.

I usually can't buy anything made of corduroy. The nap is almost always upside down. Just a quirk I have.

 

[aksunshine]

Was at a sewing shop I don't normally go to today to get needles after I broke 2, and looking at their sergers. They have Janomes. Anyone know much about them. The had a summer model for $400. It just cuts edge and serges. Is that good? Matt was with me and he may get it for Christmas if I don't say otherwise.
