What a sweet dress. I am going to have to try that bow soon.
TThe beautiful bow.
I can't wait to see it.
Thanks for sharing . I love it. You really aren't helping with my addiction to purchasing patterns.
Thought I'd share!
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!
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 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!
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!
This is a great idea! When my sister was pregnant we had everyone who came to her shower write a message to the baby on a fabric square. I never thought to make sure everyone left enough space and a few of them wrote right to the edge. My nephew will be 7 yrs old next month and I feel guilty at each birthday because another year has gone by and I still haven't finished his quilt! With your idea I may be able to put this together without losing the messages!
UMMM, Get to Sewin I really want to see it when it's finished

That is so pretty, I can't wait to sew one for Emily although I am sure it will take me more than 2 hours!

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. Thanks!
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!
rotfl: I'm kidding, but I couldn't resist)!
Thank you Shannon!
Thanks Marlo.
Thank you so much. It was a little nerve racking making something for someone else's wedding like this (someone who wasn't family) but, I really was pleased with how it turned out.
That is so pretty! I love it! That sash is so pretty. You need to put this in the "I made this" section of YCMT!
(
That was what i was going to suggest. I can't wait to see it.

My niece and nephew live a couple of hours away from Disneyland and they've NEVER been there! Can you imagine?? All it took was his brother asking and Henry agreed to go (that and me agreeing to pay for it all
