Sorry to be a bother with posting more pictures but here is Abby's Snow White dress! I like it better as a full length Vida then with the jeans and she just adores it!

This looks really great. I've ordered a Vida pattern, so I plan on trying something soon. Where did you get your appliques?

For all of those who are on here complaining about Wal Mart getting rid of fabric. One of our local stores is getting rid of theirs and of course nobody is happy, I used to work there and still talk to alot of the managers, the dept. manager suggested calling the home office and complaining so me and my SIL did and were told that eventually all Wal Mart stores that currently carry fabric would be no longer,:headache: they would have pre-packaged stuff :confused3 so basically no matter how much we complain, they don't care and will continue with their plan. As told by another manager, they (wal mart) are taking their business model from Target and will eventually be rid of all outlying service departments, hence less employees to pay. And I know alot of you are in the same boat as us Wal Mart is inexpensive and convenient and the next closest fabric store for me is 30 min. away, I know alot further for some of you. This is a total bummer for most of us. Ok my venting is over.

Our Wallies told us some time ago that all the stores would be getting rid of it. But when was up to the district manager. If the district manager supported it, then his stores would keep it until he didn't I suppose. Anyway, one of stores is supposed to be getting all the fabric when it goes out. But I'll believe that when I see it.
 
I think I can help with some of the WM questions :) DF is a store manager for Walmart, but is also in charge of rolling out and developing new programs (we live 30 min from the home office). As of right now, they are making the decision on a store by store basis. WM has developed a criteria on what each department needs to do in sales vs how much it costs to run the area, and the need for the fabric in each area (IE- no other stores in the area sell it). DF's store is actually getting a remodel in May, and will be keeping fabric, however, on a much smaller scale. It won't be pre cut- regular bolts, but just in one "valley" as we WM people call it. I agree with you guys- I don't sew as much as you guys do- but I think it stinks! I took DS to find some fabric to do a Woody costume for him last week, and had no luck finding anything that would work! I am glad to see there are a lot of online retailers selling some cute prints- but having them at WM makes it much more affordable!
 
Oh, and I love the little Tink that was posted, too! As for the shoes - does she have any crocs? When Ella dressed up as Fancy Nancy for her bday a couple years ago, I made a little pom-pom jibbit with a bought pom-pom and a button that was the same size as real jibbit. I just sewed the pom-pom onto the button, but left a little slack on the thread so that the button would easily go through. I hope that makes sense. That was long ago and the crocs and pom-poms are long gone, or I'd take a picture for you. . .

I have a couple of new projects. Two finally for Caleb. I was feeling bad that I hadn't made anything yet for him for our trip!

My DS is in love with this shirt!!! Where did you get the fabric, I've been trying to find Buzz for a bit but can't seem to find it locally. I've never bought fabric over the internet, but looks like I might have to suck it up and do it this time. I love the print you used, if you don't mind sharing where it's from?

& Thanks so much for the advice on the tink shoes, that makes total sense! Now to find some light green crocs... :goodvibes
 
Hey everyone! I've been trying to keep up, but keep falling behind as usual! As always, everyone is so talented and I've loved everything posted!

Nicole and Candice - hugs and prayers for both of you. :hug::hug: (and Candice, all those customs you posted were awesome - Alice was my favorite!)

Teresa and Heather - Teresa, you did a beautiful job on Tessa's dress - she's just gorgeous in it! And Heather, that photo of Tessa and Henry was just too precious!

I LOVE the ZURG shirt!! How cool is that applique!! You must have a HUGENORMOUS hoop for that! I bought that Sham-rock design too, and I've been stewing about what type of shirt to put it on, I like the reglan idea. :thumbsup2 If you don't mind me asking you make it or buy it somewhere??

And your little girl is precious as always too!! The cupcake skirt is adorable. Didn't want to leave that out, but I have all boys at the moment, so your son's shirts stood out to me.
 
Ahhhh...see that...I'm human again.

I survived a short shopping trip for new shoes, and actually made hamburger soup for dinner. Then DD9 and her dad started talking about the father - daughter coming up in two weeks. She has designed her outfit.

She wants a twirl skirt made out of colors like the quilt I made her and a peasant top. I just happen to have a bit of that fabric left, so we went down and searched for enough to make the skirt.

I spent an hour in the studio and feel so much better now! I really missed my studio! Hopefully I will get the Big Give dresses done tomorrow so we can start on her father - daughter outfit tomorrow night! Since she is out of school this week for intersession we should be able to get it finished this week. I know I could do it in a few hours, but since she is helping, it may take a bit longer!


Still am not 100% well, but I now feel like I am on the road to recovery!

oh, everything looking so cute guys...shout out later, promise! It's just been 5hrs and I'm still working on my 1st applique! My first attempt I got my sleeve & back of shirt caught during the stitching....had to start over, it was a mess. Then I decided to just try on a scrap fabric instead of another shirt...I was almost done, and during the satin stitch, my thread got tangled and broke my needle!!!! So attempt #3, back to the tshirt, did great, was on the satin stitch and my thread got tangled again, saw it happening though and stopped it. But the satin stitch in that part looks bad....is there anyway to just do that step over without running the entire design again?
 
So great!!!

Glad you are feeling better. I know you answered this question for me but I can't remember what you said...sorry...anyway, I am getting ready to order my machine and I know you ordered the prewound bobbins from marathon. Does the pe770 need size A or L? Thanks for answering it twice! :thumbsup2
 
I am getting ready to order my new embroidery machine and Joann.com actually has it with free shipping tonight...even the express shipping. Does anyone know if this offer for the free shipping expires tonight? :confused3 Is it okay to order it through them?

it could be fine - but I've had serious issues ordering online at Joann.com. It is one of the only places that I refuse to place an order online because the issues were so bad. I don't know that i would trust them to honor the free shipping, honestly.
 
I'm sorry to be a total pain in the hiney tonight! I'm just so excited everything is working...I'll definately post a pic tormorrw....One last question, I want to buy some additional fonts from Etsy (mainly the disney font) Is it better to get the satin stitch or the fill stitch version? I would think the satin would look better, but the fill probably holds up better.....
Any thoughts?? As usual, thank you!!

Thanks! I had trouble with them during Christmas too. Right now I am up to where my cc info needs to be put in. So don't they have to honor that? Did they charge your cc with a different amount than what they showed you on the computer screen?
 
:thumbsup2Hey all! I'm working on skirts and ruffle butt diaper covers for my kiddos for our trip in May, and I need to do a rolled hem. Don't have a serger, but am using a Janome Memory Craft 5000.

Question is: will an overedge foot give me basically the same result for a rolled hem? I tried it on some scraps, but it didn't look as good as a rolled hem. Is there any other way to do this? Trying to avoid having to iron and finish my edges that way, but will do if need be! TIA!
 
Here is what I've made so far: Carla C Patchwork Twirl for Kayleigh & Lillian, and Pillowcase Dress for baby Carlin. The tops the bigger girls are wearing is actually Carlin's pillowcase dress, just wanted to see what it would look like all together! Thanks to all for your inspiration! :cool1::cool1::cool1:

I have been working on some customer orders and was so excited to finish a Lilo dress. I was already to ship it out-then remembered the post office is closed tomorrow:rotfl2:

I hate that! I need to see this Lilo dress!

Wow! Don't you get tired with all that sewing? These look fabulous! (who else hears Sharpay singing in their head when they type fabulous??) Caleb and Ella are just growing up so fast! You should make them stop it!

ETA: Here, this post, this is how big Ella should be:

That little ruffle dress is how I always think of Ella!
