Great job! And you are correct. That is one long ruffle. I just finished one that I need to get pics of...maybe today.

I love all of these outfits. I am so ready to help with the next big give.
I love the coat. And what a precious little one you have there.
Great job. Little girls should be able to twirl when they want to:)

I love the snoopy outfit. I have bothe of these patterns on my to buy list. Your little girl is soo cute. And I am jealous. I wish we could go swimming now.

Is anyone else making Mardi Gras outfits? I am washing my fabric right now. I bought it the other day with plans to make Maddie a stripwork. Abbie saw it and thinks I need to make her a stripwork top, too. I guess I should really be happy that my almost 12 year old wants me to sew for her, and I am, but now I have to go and buy more fabric. Oh well, I'm sure she won't allow me to sew for her much longer, so I will take advantage of dressing my girls to match at least one more time.
 
More Big Give Outfits! (And a better picture of the fairies)

Beautiful outfits! They are all so great! It is very kind of you to make so much for the Big Give. I am sure they are going to love them!

I am so behind! You ladies move fast!!!!

Just too adorable! The outfit and your little girl! Excellent job!

Ok I thought you all might get my vent so....


I have an order to make a entire crib set and the woman wanted a print that I can get at walmart. So I get all the different lengths of the same fabric cut and tagged. Get the the register and the cashier is pooping zits on her head and looks like I distrubed her. Go to the cashier who is allready a little rude that I tried to load the full bags in my cart. Ok. Then she proceeds to removed all my tags off the fabric. So I tell her not too and she claims that she has to per walmarts policy. I tell her that corporate actually says they can leave them and she is not to remove them. I try to explain that it lists every different measurement and she says well read your receipt. I tell her it onlys list Fabric and price and she gets nasty with me and prints off the receipt to show me. Well, I was right and she just rips off the rest of the tags while I am yelling at her that she might rip the fabric too. Finally, when she is done with her tantrum, I ask why she won't leave the tags on. Her Answer........

Because you can stabbed yourself with a pin and Walmart's policy is not to sell pins to a costumer.



WHAT. I guess she didn't notice the box of sewing pins I was buying.:rotfl:

I think she might not like me but who cares. The kicker here is that the fabric manager and I are very good friends. She is livided at the cashier who tells the manager that she was told this eight years ago and it is gold. So now the have to write a lovely letter to corporate about this woman's behavior.
Sorry for the vent.
So if anyone would like to help measure 23 pieces of the same fabric, come on over.

WOW! What an experience! I would be livid too. The Walmart I went to the other day, did not use pins anymore. They have little zip-loc type baggies and they label it with a printed out sticker. That Walmart should get with the times! I can't believe they cut all of those pieces for you of the same fabric though. That was pretty nice of them. I have heard cutters in Joann's say they will not cut different lengths of the same fabric, you have to get one long piece. Maybe it depends how busy they are at the time. I hope it all works out for you.

I would have been livid and I probably would have taken it out of her hands.
My walmart staples the slip to the fabric :scared1: it makes me crazy!

I probably will, but haven't even thought about that yet. I made DD a Mardi Gras top last year that I loved. I bet last year's would fit again this year... I'll have to give it a try!
 
Just wanted to say I got an email from Disney with free dining for a moderate or Deluxe stay and free Counter service meal plan with a value stay

Stay has to be 8/15 through 10/2

I just went to the site to look it up and it wasnt there. My email said that you had to call the Disney Travel agency so I thought i would share the info here incase someone didnt get it!

Hope to have helped someone and debating if I should move my date back for this. Just wondering if anyone has been during this promotion and how crowded it is!

LUCKY GIRL!!! :woohoo: I am hoping for either free dining or a 40% pin code for our trip in late Sept or early Oct. I am green with envy :thumbsup2

You are so lucky she will still want you to sew for her. My dd is 7 & says my sewn clothes are for "Disney Trips Only" :rotfl: I guess I should be thankful for small miracles. No Mardi Gras outfits here, I asked dd and she didnt' know what it even was. We live outside NYC & it isn't a very big deal here.

I just saw that there is a pin on the email. I am not sure if it is a one time only pin or not. Hmm, now I am wondering if I should call and see if I can just post the code BUT if I decide not to use it and it is a one time code and they will let ya, you are more then welcome to the code!

Thanks for offering but the pin codes are non-transferrable. I had gotten a pin to my home address in my brothers name & they would not let me use it. I went to the disney website & tried saving some vacation packages to my account. Sometimes that can generate a pin code, we shall see what happens.
 
I just LOVE the dress and the pictures! I Want to live where you do! WIsh it was warm enough to go to the beach here.............. Where did you find that adorable fabric? I have not seen it before!

YAY!!! I LOVE Pop!! Teresa and I stayed at All-Star Music in December. It was nice, but I'm still a Pop lover.

I LOVE this dress! The pictures are fabulous, too! I particularly like the last one- so funny! Did you use fleece for the Snoopy applique? It looks so cute!

I love this dress. How cute!! And the water there is GORGEOUS!! Where are you in these pictures? I love the fact that she got in the water too....those pictures are priceless!!!

That looks awesome -- love the dive into the ocean!

Thanks for all the kudos on the Valentine's dress! I saw the fabric on the auction site and had to have it - I LOVE snoopy!!!! It was from 2001, but there may still be some floating around on :wizard: if you check it out!

I made Snoopy out of Fusible Fleece - all my white fabric was really see there, and I wanted him to have a fuzzy look. It was really hard to applique, though - it kept slipping around. The paint had been dry on him less than 24 hours when she took her swim in the ocean - I was soooo nervous, but he washed well! Thank goodness!!!!

I had told her not to get in the water, but Emmy and Jack both love the ocean and there was just no stopping them. We all ended up wet and had a blast! We were at the lagoons at Ko Olina Resort on Oahu, Hawaii (about a half hour drive from Waikiki - the government does not allow any privately held beaches on Oahu, so even the fancy resorts have to have public beach access. Ko Olina is soooo gorgeous, exactly the way I picture Hawaii in my mind. The water is crystal clear, and I have never had it stain any of our clothes (knock on wood!).

BTW, I am a POP girl too, Heather! I love that place!!!! So convenient and it just feels like home!

I probably will, but haven't even thought about that yet. I made DD a Mardi Gras top last year that I loved. I bet last year's would fit again this year... I'll have to give it a try!

Post a pic of last years top, if you don't mind - I would love to see it!
 
Hi ladies and Tom! I had a wonderful meeting with Juli from Make-A-Wish today about my scrapbooking event that I am planning in honor of Levi. Plans have been coming along and she was trying to find ways to help. We chatted about all sorts of things. One was Dis Big Give. I bragged about you guys and she worte down how to check you out! She seemed impressed that you are helping so much!
 
Teresa - Your girls are beautiful and the wedding dresses are gorgeous! I love the hidden heart]
The dresses and the girls are just beautiful. Great idea on the heart.
Teresa, these dresses are phenomenal! The girls look great and you did a super job!!!
Teresa Great dresses for the wedding! I haven't had a chance to quote everything but I had to comment on those. It really looks like you put a lot of work into them. The girls look beautiful!
Thanks guys, it was a lot of fun making these (once I finally decided how I was going to do it!) I love making fancy dresses.

The only thread that it doesn't like to work with, is slippery embroidery thread. Then when I thread the cartridge, instead of letting the tail of thread be cut off, I hold it while I thread. This forces it to thread correctly.
It works for me...I just got done with a 2 hour sewing marathon this morning... I can hear my machine crying in the corner.
Thanks, I will have to try that!


Don't be afraid of coats/jackets! I made the Make It Perfect Uptown Girl coat for my DD and it goes together so well (and is reversible)

That is so sweet!!!

th_100_4306.jpg
I love the outfits!!! You did such a wonderful job!

Finished another simply sweet today! I know have 2 outfits for each of my girls done. 3 more to go and we'll have one for each full day at Disney!!!!

th_002.jpg

I love that dress! That is one of my favorite fabrics. Your daughter is precious! Let her twirl!

That is so adorable!!!!

Will they have anywhere to wear these dresses??? :rotfl: You are talking about the girls that wear their pettiskirts to the grocery store!

So true!!!

I have a great book by Nancy Zieman called "Pattern Fitting with Confidence". Our library has a copy so you might want to check to save some money. She has you start with a smaller pattern and increase where necessary so it might just do the trick. I use her methods nearly every time I sew for myself and now finally have great fitting items I am proud of.
I am going to have to see if I can get this at my library.

Ok I thought you all might get my vent so....

SOOO... they will hand you the fabric and let you carry it around the store for as long as you please with the pins in it, but they won't let you carry it out of the store IN A BAG with pins in it???? How stupid! I would have been so mad!


Well, I've got my hubby 99% convinced that a new embroidery machine is a good idea. (only about 75% convinced it should happen sooner than later! LOL)
As of this morning, HSN still has it in stock and on 5 payments. In less than 2 weeks I will be ordering it...even though he isn't convinced, I usually get what I want! He's good that way!

I have a list of about 20 designs I want to get from Heather, the Marathon site is bookmarked, I've read a bit on stabilizers (just haven't decided which ones I want to get (read need). I have the outfits planned and half the fabric bought. (the rest of the fabric is in my head and I even have the store and price listed on my design wall)

So, other than actually having the money in hand what else do I need? I know I am forgetting something.


Nini
What machine are you getting?
You might want to get some prewound bobbins, they are really nice.


TRICIA: I loved the twirl skirt and top!!!
 
I'm being lazy and not quoting tonight, but all the dresses are just so beautiful!! Ya'll are making me feel like a major slacker these days!! Teresa, those flower girl dresses are amazing!! You're girls are so gosh darn cute and so lucky to have a talented Momma!! Did you embroider all the lace work too!? They are just georgeous!!:lovestruc

Still crossing my fingers this baby will be my girl...she'll have a Simply Sweet in every color of the rainbow:rotfl:

Sorry there aren't any full front pictures. My dd only likes to pose for pictures if she can twirl!!!!:lmao:

That dress is so pretty! I love that fabric.

And, just in case you haven't got totally tired of reading my post yet, here is what I have been working on - my daughter's Snoopy Valentine's dress! It is a criss-cross top with a peek-a-boo skirt hybrid. I love how it came out! I had a ton of problems with sizing the criss-cross, but it was easy to sew once I figured out the measurements.

I wanted to get some good pics of her in it before it got dirty - Didn't plan on her hopping in the ocean in it! Oh well - it washed fairly well!

That is a lot of peices to measure! What a PITB! My Walmarts use the sticker labels and sometimes they take them off and sometimes they don't. :confused3 I hate gross checkers.

Brother PE 770....question about the pre-wounds....on my quilting machine there are two sizes: M and L, are the embroidery pre wounds sized the same....
