I was thinking abou going on Friday. I wish I could have taken some classes though!!!

Is it worth going even if you do not take classes?

More then likely Friday was the day I was thinking about going. I am free pretty much every day, just gotta be home by 2ish to get Dallas. I wasn't sure what I would see and if it would be any fun.

I didn't sign up for any classes, but I think it would be great to walk around and look at stuff. There are some make it and take it classes that sound good but nothing that I "must do"

I hope to see you there! I haven't met any Disboutiquer's in person!

Nini, I wish you could go on Friday but I understand!
 
Oh my goodness!! She is absolutely beautiful, Adi!!! I think I'm in love!! Such a little sweetie!! Her outfit is so cute!! What a great picture!

Thanks Heather! I'm so flattered, maybe I can make one of the meets one of these days and you can meet her and I can meat your two cuties :)

She is adorable!
Thank you!!

What a doll!! Love all the hair and the outfit is adorable.
Thank you!! Amazingly - she has less hair now then when she was born. AND its a little flat in this picture - LOL, you should see her after a bath or when she wakes up!

Adi, the little outfit came out great! Isabel is sooo adorable! :)

I smile and think about how fun getting the girls together will be when I see pics of Isabel. Looking forward to getting one of Isabel and Kaitlyn together!
Thank you! I cannot wait to get the girls together either! Our little MT cousins ;)

She is such a doll and the outfit looks so cute on her.
THANK YOU!

I love the new skirt you made!

She is such a cutiepie!
Thank you :)
 
My first t-shirt appliques - for Noah's big give! - I can see a few little boo-boo's, but I don't think they are bad for my first try on that stretchy t-shirt material! Hope the boys like them...I am really happy with how they came out...

That's cool. I'm sure the boys will love them.

Here is the outfit I made Isabel for Valentine's Day, she was 3 months old here (3 days shy of 4 months). The top is Carla C's Portrait Peasant (made the 6 month size, fit her big, but we can use it again since it doesn't actually say anything about Valentine's Day) and the bottoms are Crala C's easyfits - I had to do a modification. Isabel is a slim baby, so the 6 month size was HUGE! So, I started over and got the 18-inch doll pattern and extended the leg part and the behind part to accommodate for her diaper, but it fit perfectly :)

So cute. I love babies with hair :love::love: (could be cause I was bald till almost 2, and my mom used to tape bows to my head for pics)

Last week someone posted a photo of a beautiful snow white outfit. I was inspired by it and here is my result.

The bodice and shorts are navy blue eyelet, the skirt is a pretty yellow calico with roses on it, and the sleeves are broadcloth. The bows were added for pretty and also to cover up the fact that I serge everything with white thread :rolleyes1 I guess I get a little lazy...
Thanks
Stephanie

Pretty. I only serge in white too, it's the only thread I have still.


She is such a doll and the outfit looks so cute on her.



That came out great!

Here's the second test skirt for the Audrey skirt pattern (named in honor of a little girl who must have 'butt ruffles' on most things :rotfl:)

I'm very pleased with how the development of this is going. I used the actual pattern I drafted for this one and only had to tweak a couple things. The next step is to resize the pattern and see how it works.


Looking great Lisa.
 
Thank you! I've got the book in my cart at amazon and I'm trying to find $7.87 worth of stuff to bring my total up to $25 for the super saver shipping! ;)


It looks like you both suggested the same book, and you both have husbands named Robert! Thank you, Shannon! I think adjusting the shutter speed really helped with the blurryness.

That's funny - who would've known! You'll be glad you ordered the book - it is reallly helpful!

Girl...do you EVEN know how talented you are? This is just absolutely adorable. I love it!! I am in awe every day at the creativity of the ladies on this thread. It is more than just sewing, it is an art.

Lisa - Since I know you "hand" applique, do you ever have any problems with pieces this large pulling away from the fabric after it is washed? I use heat and bond or wunder under but I have never done anything this large so I was just wondering. Also...do you put stabilizer on the back before you applique? I have mostly "hand" appliqued on overalls so never needed it, but now I am starting to do other appliques on cotton...just wondering.
 
Here's a Tinkerbelle top for the Flower and Garden festival I made for a customer. This gave me such a hard time, for something that should have been pretty easy! I couldn't get the petals to puff out enough, but I think I finally got it!

This is so cute! I love how you used the buttons for the centers of the flowers. I'm such a button and ric rack girl!

So cute!I love the navy eyelet! Gorgeous and adds a shabby chic touch!

I've never had the fabric loosen on a big applique but it does get a little 'bubbly' looking after laundering (I'm lazy and usually machine wash and dry). I just iron to smooth it out and it looks fine.

BTW -I recently had someone send a dress I'd made with a large applique. Her daughter spilled chocolate milk on it and it stained - right on Minnie's face. :scared1: The only way to fix the problem was to replace the flesh colored fabric on the applique. I know the dress had been at least washed a few times in the attempt to get the spots out but I still had to work to get the stained fabric loose from background.

I do use stabilizer even on denim unless it's heavy weight. I like Sulky Totally Stable for just about everything.

I hope you don't mind a newbie barging in with a question, but the snow white outfit above is adorable. (Sorry - I don't have enough posts to quote the image) Did you use a pattern for it? I'm woefully behind in my sewing, but this might inspire me!

Hello mamommy!

I think you can accomplish the look for the Snow White set with a basic peasant top or dress pattern. I use my own pattern for mine which I haven't published yet. I piece my sleeve stripes together, however you can achieve a similar look by sewing wide ribbon in the areas where the stripes would be or if you are lucky enough you might be able to find red and blue wide striped fabric! You can use any type of blue or navy for the middle bodice. I love that she used navy eyelet! I use soft denim for mine. Give it a try and share your masterpiece once you've finished!!!! You can do it!!!

I love it!!

1.) Poor Tessie!! I'm guessing she is going to miss pizza night tomorrow. :sad1:
3.)You could have asked Corey. ;)
I'm guessing you wanted an explanation that made sense?? :rotfl:
1. She still isn't looking any better. She keeps throwing up and she still has a fever. Darn it! Maybe Henry will stay home with her and I'll be able to come over.
3. I'm so glad you said it so I didn't have to! :lmao: He's a smart boy, but not the best teacher!
 
Here is my new baby.. :love:
IMG_4381.jpg

We have been rearranging furniture to make room for a new sewing table to put it on that my hubby is building so sorry for the delay! I've had it home since Sunday night. :goodvibes
I haven't had that much time to play with it yet, but I think the most impressive part for me is the sewing. It just does wonderful things with sewing stitches that my older machine didn't do. I'm loving the knee lever thing that lifts the presser foot too. The buttonholes are gorgeous!!!

Wow! It's gorgeous! My mom always had Bernina machines and LOVED them. I keep waiting for her to decide she doesn't need her Bernina serger anymore and find it a new home at MY house :rotfl:

Now my vent for the day....I bought Catie a cheap pair of jeans from WallyWorld for my first jean applique endeavor. I washed them 3 or 4 times. This weekend I made the Alice & Hatter appliques and she loved them. Just took them out of the dryer & Alice's face is navy & her apron is all streaky!!!!! ARGH!!! I know I should have waited to go the store to get some color catchers....now I am just mad at myself!

HOW FABULOUS! Congrats!!! I just invested in a Bernina on Tuesday. I set it up last night and embroidered my son a pillowcase edge with a Buck and his name. I still need to learn how to use it and finally learn how to machine applique!!! I am dying to do it!!! Looks like you already are aquainted with the machine applique process! Have fun with yours!

Thanks! I figured I could probably find something similar. I'll have to go to Joann's and look. I'm already imagining a Dopey shirt to go with it for my DS. I just need to finish the mickey/minnie project I started first!

Thanks. I got it from my MIL. :)
This is why I ALWAYS wash my fabrics before using them. I wash darks with darks and lights with lights too. How frustrating!!

CONGRATULATIONS! It looks like it's stitching great, too! I know you're gonna love it!
It does stitch great. It's alot faster than the other machine too.

Wow! She is beautiful!:love: I bet you are :cloud9:
Yes. :goodvibes

Oooh.. which one did you get?? I bet you got the 830 huh?? I drool over that machine everytime I see it. Pillowcases are good practice. My daughter has alot of them for that reason.
Did you buy software with it too? I'm buying software too because I can't concert to the art format. I want my designs to be in the right color!!
