Teresa! These turned out so beautiful!!!! You did an amazing job and I love your little hidden heart!



I would love to know! Thank you so much!!!!

Sorry I couldn't find the packing slip so I'm not sure where I got them. But on top of the box it says

Part No: 13305
CG15 Poly White
Clear-Glide 15 135 YD

064JIHB PDRUMMON

So I'm thinking 15 is the size HTH!

Glad that you had a great trip!! I personally think the problem with the ressie system is that there is no accountability, meaning anyone can make a bunch of ressies under different names and then not use them with no consequences. It ends up blocking out tables everywhere and then on the actual day they end up going unused because the people don't cancel and don't show up. I have a "friend" who makes a different dinner ressie at each park for the same date & time this way she is covered no matter what park she ends up at. So somehow those other 3 ressies go unused. It is reallyl unfair and frustrating. I honestly think you should have to old every ressie with a credit card this way people are only taking them who might actually use them & they also would have to cancel them outright instead of just letting them go unused. That is my rant for the day

It really isn't fair is it that people make reservations they know they won't use (or at least they know they won't use all of them). I didn't mind giving my credit card when making a ressie, because I only made ones I was really planning on using. I think they should go back to doing that.

1.)Thanks! I think that petti of Jayden's is my favorite petti we own!


2.)Too pretty to th_!!! The dresses turned out gorgeous and the wedding looks like it was beautiful. I love Lydia's special secret heart! She will treasure that and the story behind it forever!

1.)She looks gorgeous in it!
2.)Thank you Jeanne! I was pretty tickled with the heart myself! At the reception, once word got around about it, everyone was coming up to her and asking to see it! Joey told her not to show Jessica before the wedding, because, "She might say, I don't, and we wouldn't want that to happen!" to which Lydia replied, "I DO!"

the dresses are great and the girls look beautiful! You should be really proud. How funny if she ends up marrying a man named Joey and she can have this as her hanky

Well, Joey is named after his Dad, so I told him and Jessica I will give them 2 years to have a baby boy for Lydia to marry! I really think it's the LEAST Jessica could do after stealing Lydia's man!

Teresa! These turned out so beautiful!!!! You did an amazing job and I love your little hidden heart!
!

Thank you! I need to post that on Heather's Frou Frou page too. I keep forgetting.

Teresajoy

The dresses for the girls are absolutely beautiful! The special heart was such a sentimental touch. She will never forget that little touch, and I am sure neither will the bride and groom.

Dawn

Thank you! The heart made us all happy I think!

The girls with the bride and briedsmaids:

You did an amazing job on these dresses. And the girls are just beautiful. It looks like they had a great time.

I prefer Target tshirts - but if Target is out, or doesn't have the color I want, I use Old Navy or Wal Mart.

Hi Shannon,
I did try target, walmart and sears....no luck...
my SIL actually had her 2 from Target (but she lives 2 hours from me)
My Target says they dont have it out yet, but no idea when they will.
but I figured maybe it was better to find some place online that sells them since my stores are always finicky about blank shirts- i can never find them...

I am SOO grouchy today!!
DH left at 4am and DD was up, anxious of him leaving, then up again at 5 something, then 7, waking baby at 6, etc
and all our snow melted and it rained, which wouldnt be so bad, but all that rain at once turns our well water brown and makes it smell like dirt. I crave sleep and a fresh shower, neither one will happen..

Teresa, Ill post of FB, but have to say, you did a really lovely job on the dresses!!

Pitterpat, are you looking for a commerical pattern? with full sleeves? WHich princess? Are you wanting a ballroom style gown? Mom2RTK has some gorgeous confections to look at for ideas....

I know a lot of you have seen these on Facebook already, but I thought I'd share here too

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, our friends asked Arminda and Lydia to be in their wedding and wanted me to make the dresses. So, here are some pictures:

The girls with the bride and briedsmaids:

Arminda on the right demonstrating the fantastic twirl factor:

Arminda after lots of dancing:

Lydia with the groom, Joey, the man of her dreams. He had just snuck up behind her.

the girls danced and danced and danced!!!!! Lydia was SOOOO tired!!!

After I took that picture she got up and danced some more!

As a secret special touch, I added this heart (designed by Heathersue of courese!) to the front of Lydia's dress:

it says, "My heart belongs to Joey"

and there are lots more pictures on Facebook if any wants to see even more!

GORGEOUS! I love the little surprise you made!

Girls, for those of you who pray, I am asking you to pray now. My dad was just rushed into emergency surgery in Chicago for a severe blood clot in his leg. It is unknown whether they can save his leg or whether he will survive the night. Please pray for him, and for the surgeons to have wisdom.
Thank you so much.
Nicole

Praying for your dad!!!!!!!!!!!!


I adore all the new stuff. That pink dot is one of my fav materials can't go wrong with that it just makes me smile. The patchworks, the new box everything stunning!

I swore I would keep up this yr and I stopped getting emails UGH

I wanted to add I LOVE the SIMPLY SWEET! I think it is so versatile! Nikki was always one of those kids who dressed up even to go to walmart she would be full on fancy mode ever since she was little. She thinks nothing of wearing a petti skirt food shopping. I truly believe the SS is a classic that can be dressed up or dressed down as a top or a dress. In fact when I was looking for dresses to wear to a wedding for myself I kept thinking most of them where really adult SS! Heck on the Golden globes last night alot of the dresses looks similar it is all in the fabric and the embellishments to make anything fancy or casual. IMO

Did you try Oldnavy.com? A lot of times they'll have them? Wish I could be more help.

I second this recommendation - Janet (mom2rtk) makes GORGEOUS gowns - I bet she can help you out!

Oh, Teresa the girls look so beautiful! The dresses are beautiful too! It looks like you all had an amazing time! I love the extra little heart detail!

Just finished my first simply sweet! It turned out so wonderfully! I cannot believe I didn't buy this pattern sooner! I'll post pics in a min! Need to find my usb for my camera!

Adorable!

I haven't posted in MONTHS (I think it was late October or November?) but I need some help.

QUESTION ONE: For those with the Vida pattern, could you please tell me how much of each fabric is needed for a size two? I don't have the pattern yet, but am going to Joann's tomorrow and was hoping to purchase fabric then.

QUESTION TWO: What is your favorite YCMT pattern for a diaper bag? My friend is having a baby shower in two weeks and loves Betty Boop, so I wanted to make her a fun bag to go with the matching burp clothes/blanket/bibs I'm making her.

Thanks!

Could you put the block on a scanner and scan the signature in then shrink it on your computer, print it out and use it to trace a new, smaller signature?

I REALLY want to try this sometime!

This would definitely work!! It's really only bad on a couple. I had extra blocks left over anyway!

Although if I were to do it again, I would put tape around the seam allowance, just to give them a guideline.

I'm not really sure why it was offensive for me to say "fancy, not like an altered Simply Sweet" but clearly you were both stung. I want to apologize and say it was not my intent. My daughter sees that as an everyday dress because she has several so while I think it is perfect, she feels she needs something fancy and unlike what is in her closet. ....and misunderstandings like this are why I should just stay a lurker....

I think that your statement may have been taken in an insulting manner simply because it is single handedly the most used pattern to make princess dresses in this group. Many of us that have been posting on this thread for more than two years have reproduced that pattern to be every princess ever known. Many of them for our children, and many of them as requests for customers. There have been dozens upon dozens of requests on these threads for explanations of how to "princessify" the simply sweet pattern to obtain a certain princess look. Many of us have discussed this on these threads over and over and over again trying to make sure that everyone knows exactly what to do to make the perfect "dressed up simply sweet" dress for their desires. It has been created in silk, satin, calico & organza. It has been worn by 100's of thrilled little girls who thought their dresses were absolutely beautiful. To top that all off, the dressses are cool, comfortable and washable. SO, to say that you desire something "fancy, not like an altered simply sweet" really does state that those 100's of dresses that have been created and posted here just aren't quite up to your standard. That, I'm sorry, could be perceived as an offensive remark.

(YES! I'm quoting myself!)

I think I need to clarify what I have posted. I made this statement simply to help you understand how it could have been perceived as offensive. I did not make this statement in an attempt to do anything other than pointing out that fact. I hope that in doing so, that I haven't offended you! I do hope you post more, comment more on the things that catch your eye - maybe that will help us make suggestions about where you can find the perfect dress for your daughter's fancy dress!

Please tell me to get to sewin'.... I half finished an Animal Kingdom Vida, and am a loss of what to put on the front. I'm torn between the logo of Animal Kingdom or Minnie...I'm kind of leaning towards the logo....I just need another glass of diet Dr Pepper first for inspiration...LOL

 

[jenb1023]

I've been MIA for awhile but am back in action on the DIS and hope to keep up with this hopping thread!

For those who don't "know" me, I started sewing in the summer thanks to this thread. I wanted to be able to make my DD and her AG doll matching dresses. I started with a pillowcase dress, then made 4 simply sweet girl dresses and two simply sweet doll dresses.

Here is my first dress from a pattern that was not a Simply Sweet - a Stripwork Jumper. I made it for my DD for her Christmas dress and still can't believe I did it. Thanks everyone for the advice, encouragement and inspiration!

How about a mini clip board with a cardboard frame over the square so the characters don't go into the edges.

 

[mom2rtk]

Teresajoy: I was amazed to see those dresses already done and the event over! You don't let any grass grow under your feet!!! You did a great job. They are gorgeous (the girls AND the dresses!)! What a beautiful bridal party!!


Pitterpat: If you are looking for a more authentic reproduction princess pattern, feel free to PM me and I'll point you in the right direction. They all have their ups and downs, and once we chat I'll let you know what I think!

I really miss seeing you guys on a daily basis.

Until I get my computer up and running, I can only sneak peaks on my phone or "borrow" a computer.

A few things I have made: A Simply Sweet Easter Dress. I made it out of Satin and a sheer overlay, along with the Free Bow on YCMT.

This picture was taken before I actually sewed the bottom on.

There is no bunching on the bodice, it was being modeled by my size 6 and the dress was made in a size 4... so maybe thats why it looks like it.

The beautiful bow.

Sorry I don't have good pictures... I can't load them onto my home computer and then I forget to bring my camera while "borrowing" computers. It seems phone pictures are easier

Here are some Easy Fits and Simply Sweet that I made for the Big Give.

I do have more to post... but took pictures on my real camera. I feel so unorganized

I decided on the Logo. I found this gorgeous collection of African prints and can't wait to see it all finished! It will be done tomorrow...LOL

I promised you guys that I would sew up the Children's Corner Callie pattern and let you all know how it went - so, here it is!
Here's the pattern
http://www.childrenscornerinc.com/store/cart.php?target=product&product_id=385&substring=callie

Here is what I stitched up today:
front:

back:

As you can see, it is identical in the front and back and I still have to figure out what buttons I want to use.

This thing stitched out FAST! From cutting the pattern to the last stitch, it wasn't more than 2 hours! AND, that included reading the directions since I had never made it before! I LOVE how it goes together. I also love that it is dress length - I plan to shorten it to make it shirt length for some others that I have in mind.
Thought I'd share!
