I ordered a Vida pattern tonight.

I know that you have to trace it, but what do you trace it on? Paper & then cut out on fabric or use tracing paper directly to your fabric?

Hi! My little one isn't so little anymore. She's growing so fast! I can't believe she's already 8 and in 2nd grade.

Want to feel better? Mine is 9 next week and in 3rd grade. WHERE did the time go?

I have the Vida, and almost all the others and have yet to try one all except the Hoodie... and honestly my eyes went crossed while trying to retrace the pattern for the size I was using! LOL

Wow, Lisa! I didn't realize Zoe was already 8! It's hard to believe she was only 4 or 5 when I ment you over on the CBD!

It's so important to make each day count... time does fly!
Mine are 17, 14 and 12... I would have never dreamed that time would go so fast!

 

[MermaidTales]

Okay, I'll stop posting. I think this is my 10th post... making me eligible for some sort of posting privelege... I think!
LOL... I'd better just get back to work!

It's amazing, isn't it? Of course I'm still trying to figure out how I got so old!!!

I use tissue paper. Since I make different sizes of most styles, I use different color paper for each size so it's quicker to find all the pieces for a specific size when I need them.

Can you believe she was only 3 1/2 when I started there? I don't even want to think of her being a teen! It scares me to think what she'll be like when hormones kick in.

Evidently I am out of creative ideas! I need to make a Princess Tiana dress for my DD9 for BBB. Since I've only seen parts of the movie (I know, I know...BAAAAAAAD Mommy!) I can't seem to wrap my head around the dress. I can usually 'see' the dress and pattern that can be altered... but with this dress, nothing!

To all of you that are making a Tiana dress, what pattern are you using? (or altering) I think I need to buy the movie when it comes out and check it out a little better!

Thanks Shannon! I appreciate it.... but can I ask what a BA is????

BA = Business Administrator. It seems that I hear these kinds of things a lot (and have experienced them myself when struggling to get things listed, dealing with issues, etc). Someone start a BA service for online artists! That person could handle all of the business issues and free up the artist to do what he/she does best - create!
Not that I'm planning to do that - just thinking out loud!

And here I thought you were volunteering......

I also could use a maid, but that's not likely either! But yes indeed a great thought!

Great idea....

But unfortunately, that would cut into the meager profits you already get. Unless you were to find an incredible DIL to do it in exchange for free babysitting... hmmm...

I just posted these on FB but for those of you who may not be on FB here is my latest:

Alice in Wonderland Vida:

Snow white Vida:

I know they don't compare much to the things posted in the last couple of days but I am just in love with the Alice in Wonderland and Thomas Kincade fabrics! I better go bak and fix my top-stitching I just noticed it's a bit off on the Alice.....and I need to iron it with some steam..... Sorry about the terrible pics but it's getting late and I have so much to do. Trying to be quick!

Love the fabrics together; very unique!

I trace onto interfacing. You really have to trace onto something, because you'll add your seam allowances. Also, you don't want to cut your original pattern so you can use it for other sizes. I like the interfacing because it's more durable, and I tend to make several dresses in whichever size my dd is at the time. I choose one that I can see through but is not loosely woven so it doesn't pull apart easily. I think mine is actually made for pattern tracing, but for the life of me I can't remember the name that was on the bolt; now it's just a big piece in my pattern drawer.

Well... since my boys are not quite 15 and 17, I think I'll pass on THAT plan!!! I'll hope you were thinking for yourself and not me!

They sell an interfacing-like material with a grid on it made specifically for tracing patterns. I use it all the time and love it. I love the way it stays put on most fabrics when you lay it down to cut... no need to even pin unless it's on satin or something slippery. It's sold in the interfacing section of the fabric store.

I'm going into town (well the next town over) today. I will look for some.

I wonder if the tissue paper from the Dollar Tree would work? You know the one that is one step away from writing paper instead of tissue paper.

I use the kind of paper that the Dr. office uses to cover the exam table. It comes on a roll that lasts FOREVER. My local sewing shop sells it.

AMEN!! That is the main reason I haven't updated my shop lately, I just don't have the time/energy to create AND list. I've been trying to skip naptime now that I'm out of the first trimester, but any time I do I get a migraine the next day...a tell tale sign I still need the rest. I just don't get ANYTHING done if I sleep when the boys are sleeping.

Well, anything will "work". But I love the grid fabric. It doesn't tear easily or deteriorate over time, it doesn't hold the creases that develop when you fold it, and I LOVE the way it holds onto most fabrics for cutting.

But in a pinch, I've even taped together copy paper!
