I made my first Precious Dress on the weekend. Of course, as with all of Carla's Patterns it was easier than I expected. I never imagined I could do pretty puffy sleeves like that. This is a size 1, for the granddaughter of a co-worker.
OK... I promised to show pictures, but you have to understand...it is still a work in progress. From these pictures, it really looks spacious, but you have to remember the Quilt Machine needs to come out from where it is against the wall to the middle of the room to use it.
I still have some storage issues to work out, and the decorating Really needs to be worked on! LOL! And...there is a large treadmill in the corner that is really taking up valuable space. I also have a full size kitchen (just out of camera range) with a table that seats 6. The bedroom is now a playroom for the kids with toys, books, tv, video games, and a bathroom just off from that.
Now, if photobucket will just cooperate, I'll get a few pictures uploaded here.
Now to see if I was smart enough to get the pictures right on my first try!

) about this beautiful sparkly purple princess fabric, well I knew I had some too but I couldn't remember where I had bought it. Well, I was looking at one of my favorite online fabric shops and I found it. Here is the link: http://www.fabricsgalore.com/view_item.php?item_id=7553 
Hello! Someone had asked someone else (sorry about not being too specific
Enjoy!
But that is the truth. IBS can be stress related. Have you been to the Dr.? They have meds for it. And watch your diet. Certain foods, usually greasy foods will set it off.
A new job helped me!
but since you asked (and I can see you have a Mary Poppins fan too) I would be happy to post some. There is a great story that goes along with it that I am sure you can find in my past posts. In short, we experienced some truely amazing and unforgetable Disney magic 
that gave us memories that will last a lifetime. 
This story made me laugh. My daughter carried a stuffed duck around from birth to around 10 or so (we tease her and tell her she carried it until she was 13). I made most of her clothes when she was small so I used the scraps to make matching clothes and hair bows for the duck. It was always dressed to match. We had to repair "ducky" many times. Once while at day care one of the other children got some scissors and cut "ducky's" beak off and so we had to sew him up(she called the duck a him even though it always wore dresses). We used to tell her that if she didn't give "ducky" up that when she got married, the duck would have to go down the aisle with her in her wedding. This past May, at age 22, she got married. I didn't forget. I made the duck a matching flower girl dress and the flower girl carried "ducky" down the aisle.
Just had to share this after reading your post about "Betty".
Yeah, that is no where near us but huge congrats on getting it done.
Maybe, I bought the fabric at Walmart then...I can't remember....
Yes, I made the Mary Poppins dress. Thank you! I made it before I even found this thread a couple of years ago. Then I found the Dis-boutiquers and said to myself "Oh, my goodness, there are others like me?" Needless to say, it was a very happy day for me.
I have posted so many pictures of it before some of the ladies might be tired of seeing it,
Here you go, my pride and joy, mini-Poppins:
This picture was taken our last day of the trip when we had to say goodbye to an amazing Disney CM Mary Poppins. Julia's dress and shoes were beginning to show wear because of wearing it multiple times throughout our stay, but this picture is one of my favorites. My daughter knew exactly what to do and how to act right next to her favorite character. This picture makes me smile everytime I see it!:

Thanks for the congrats! I am working on another idea for those of you that aren't close.
LOVE the Mary Poppins!!!!!
