warm up suit in fleece from sears...


I got confused on which color pink I was supposed to be using..




Okay- here's what I am working on, this will be a simply sweet bodice with a peek a boo skirt (I havent decided on what the ties with be, but I think it will be the same as the bottom ruffle)...I folded up the fabric to give you an idea of the bodice...
the pink ruffle ended up being a bit shorter and a bit less ruffly than I planned, so I was contemplating adding a second ruffle under it, maybe the gumball- opinions?
Oh- I will be embroidering a mickey-cupcake in the peek a boo spot.

she will wear this over a petti skirt that is bright pink with light pink fluff.

Hi girls, I love reading along with this thread, so much inspiration here. I need some expert advice though. I'm looking into buying an embroidery machine. I've been sewing my disney twirl skirts, but can't make those cute applique embroidered shirt to go with them.

I was looking at the Brother 2800D $2600 and the HusqvarnaViking 20 (I think it was the topaz) for the same price. Does anyone know anything about either of them. I can't find any reviews online, and for that amount of $ I want a great machine.

Does this seem to be the going rate for a good machine? I think I need one that will handle the larger hoop, some of those disney designs can be pretty big.

I would love to hear any advice you guys have.......I really know nothing about these kind of machines, so fill me in!!

Also do you all have sergers? They look like they would cut my work time down a ton.....are they work the $$$.

Thanks so much!!!!

Latest project....

This was my first try at the Farbenmix Sasha. I will make the next size up next time...it's a little tight over the shirt but will be great in the spring by itself.

That is so cute!!! Great job!

Y'all, I am so proud I could burst! You know I have been soooooooo askeered to shirr. Like, reeeeaaaallly scared. Well, I practiced a couple of times, took a deep breath, and...
(excuse the lousy pics please, I can't take DD outside, it's too cold)

It's the Whimsy Couture bow twirl .

YAY!!!!!! You did a fabulous job!!! The dress is adorable!

Hi there Disboutiquers! My name is Karen, and my 16 year old daughter and I have been looking at this thread for the past couple of days, we absolutely love everyone's designs! My DD, Shannon, suggested that I put up some pictures of things I made for her when she was little. She's helping me out with the photobucket thing. Hope you enjoy!

This was the first one I made Shannon, she was Tigger for Halloween when she was 3. She looks so little!
Cinderella:

Welcome!!!!! I'm so glad you guys found us!! Your creations are amazing!!! So gorgeous!!! Your daughter was and is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love all the things you made, you are very talented.

I finally finished one Read Across America Day outfit....I think its in March but this one took two weekends and I have another to make so I started early. My DD6 designed the whole thing. I started out with a Vida in mind and she thought of the patchwork twirl and the top too. I used Carla's Precious Dress pattern but I just extended the bodice. The skirt is her Patchwork twirl. Carla digitized the words for me and the applique is from DigitalByDesign. And the fabric is Michael Miller a mix of "ta da" and "plain jane" and some red dot thrown in for good measure And my friend, RevRob, was the source of the Cat in the Hat fabric and ruffle in the skirt!!! Thanks EVERYONE!!!!!

Too many pics coming right up!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!!!

CATHY! That is just amazing!!! I love it!! The girls were sitting next to me while I was looking and they made me stop so they could both get a closer look!

I am so sorry to hear about your nephew.

Thank you so much. It was a really bad summer. A month later, our friends had a new pool put in and the day they filled it with water, their little 3 year old fell in and died. Lydia was friends with both of them, and it was so hard for her. It was hard for all of us.

Everything that has been posted is really nice.

While the snow fell outside, I was busy inside.

Emma needed a blue fairy dress for school on Friday so that was first up.

And the Lily wanted a skirt...but then she wanted a dress...sigh.

Your daughters are too cute! I love the blue fairy dress, and the circle skirt is one of my favorite patterns! It looks adorable!

That is wonderful! I thought I had read that it was filled.
I went and registered. I'm just waiting for authorization, then I'll go see what I might be able to do
Thanks!


I am so sorry about your nephew and your friends' little one. What a terrible summer you all had.

Teresa- it wouldnt take my login- I had to re-register!!


I also wanted to share with you, for those not on facebook. Hannah started out a bit cross eyed, but as the months have gone by her eyes have become more and more crossed rather than getting stronger. Her pediatrition requested we see an ophthalmologist. I took her to one last Saturday, an ophthalmologist who does not do surgery. However, after the exam she wrote a script for eye drops that she takes 3 days a week to dilate the stronger eye to help aid the weaker one. She also said we really needed to see a different Dr in the practice because she felt that eye therapy and surgery were going to be needed, and she didnt believe this was a condition that was corrected with glasses.
I have been doing some research and so far what I keep reading is that babies born with this do need the surgery. They also say that these vision problems can contribute to developmental delays and I dont know if I'm being premature, but she is 8 months old now and not confidently sitting up yet, and when put on her tummy immediately rolls to her back. But I know development time tables are broad anyway....
I have read that these eye surgeries can sometimes require being repeated. Ugh. I hate the idea of my little baby going thru surgery. Thanks for letting me share.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Do you save your receipts for the fabric for the big gives and add it to the deductions? DH says yes but I say I am donating to the family.

What do you do?

She is beautiful!

By NO means am I an expert, just a mom/grandmom, but I tend to think that sitting up may make her dizzy and laying on her tummy may be putting pressure on her eyes and making her uncomfortable.

Cross your eyes. It's not a pleasant feeling.

I think the red bow itself would make a great clip.

Hi girls, I love reading along with this thread, so much inspiration here. I need some expert advice though. I'm looking into buying an embroidery machine. I've been sewing my disney twirl skirts, but can't make those cute applique embroidered shirt to go with them.

I was looking at the Brother 2800D $2600 and the HusqvarnaViking 20 (I think it was the topaz) for the same price. Does anyone know anything about either of them. I can't find any reviews online, and for that amount of $ I want a great machine.

Thanks so much!!!!

I have a brother 1034, but I'd like a machine that can handle something heavier. But it is a decent starter. My embroidery is a 780D, I paid about $800 for it. I didn't want a combo machine. But eventually when I can afford a larger hoop, I'll certainly go for it. The 780 is a 5X7 hoop.

Do you save your receipts for the fabric for the big gives and add it to the deductions? DH says yes but I say I am donating to the family.

What do you do?

Charitable donations can be a tax deduction. I started to save mine, but I never had enough to matter. I don't own a home. I don't know if donations have to be to a 501c org or not?

Charitable donations can be a tax deduction. I started to save mine, but I never had enough to matter. I don't own a home. I don't know if donations have to be to a 501c org or not?

I think the only way you can claim deductions on a donation is if the organization has the 501-3c designation, which is hard to get for small groups. My oldest was part of the Team USA Showdance team, and we were responsible for raising the funds to get our part of the team to Germany in '08. When we looked into getting that designation for her dance studio, it was going to take more time than we had, and a fair amount of $$, and a good tax lawyer. We did become a non-profit, so any fundraising we did wasn't taxable, but any donations weren't tax exempt, and because of that we couldn't get any major sponsors because they wanted that tax exempt status. Make sense? It's really confusing, the parents on the team spent hours trying to make it work for us with no sucess...but we did get the $$ raised through too many bake sales and car washes.

Do you save your receipts for the fabric for the big gives and add it to the deductions? DH says yes but I say I am donating to the family.

What do you do?

No, doesn't the organization have to be gov't approved (or something along those lines)? I know make a wish is so in my opinion stuff should be but because it isn't going directly to them I don't believe officially it can be deducted.

LOVE these The Bear Ballerina is adorable!

Agreed! And they could be done in SOOOO many colors....I think I am off to buy felt tomorrow.

THANK YOU!!! The photos help. It's a great tutorial!

I am sooo glad everyone think it's good. I had never tried to photo-document anything while I was making it before.

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Thank you so much. It was a really bad summer. A month later, our friends had a new pool put in and the day they filled it with water, their little 3 year old fell in and died. Lydia was friends with both of them, and it was so hard for her. It was hard for all of us.

!

Oh my! That's awful! Again, I am so sorry! Poor Lydia!
How is your sister? Haven't seen her on here much lately. She's missed!

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Teresa,
I missed your comments amongst all your multi quotes, I can't imagine knowing a 3 year old who died, let alone 2. So heartbreaking.
I can't imagine trying to recover from such a loss.

 

[CastleCreations]

We've had some terrible losses this week. My brother's wife lost her baby this week. She was around 16 weeks. There is also a wonderful nurse at work, who also lost her baby. She was 16 weeks also. So terrible. I can't imagine.
I did manage to get my Epcot Vida done, and now I'm searching for ideas for my next outfit.

I like how it came out, but I'm still not sold on the fabric for the bodice. I do like the buttons across the bottom.

 

[CastleCreations]

We have a great debate in our house...There is a new silver fox in town..

 

[littlepeppers]

I'm looking to organize my fabric stash & I have a few questions concerning comic book boards.

What size fits so nicely on your book shelves?

Where do you order them from? Some of the websites look shady.
