Hi all! I just caught up and boy you have all been busy.

I am so sorry for those of you losing your WM fabric, that really stinks! Wouldn't it be nice though if one of the fabric stores noticed the void and started expanding! We just had an old K-Mart close and every time I pass it I think it would make a nice Hancock Fabrics!

Everything posted is just beautiful. I have managed to finish my nephew's bowling shirt. It was very exciting to actually see it come together, I would have never done it without all of you. I was really worried about the button holes, it was a learning process but really pretty easy. I figured it all out just in time because my DDIL called last week to tell me that my second Grandchild, due in June, is a boy!!!!! :banana::banana::banana:

OK, I'm off to work but I wanted to post and say hello. I'll post a picture of the shirt and the easy fits I made to go with it when I get a minute. This working thing really cuts into my free time! :lmao:

Blessings and a good day,
Mary

Here's a picture of my baby...LOL
 
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



The Brother PE 770 takes a size A bobbin. I actually did not get my bobbins from Marathon...yet. Marathon is going to be at the Atlanta Sewing and Quilt Show in 3 weeks, so I will pick mine up there...hoping for some good show sales and no shipping!

So far, I have been winding my own bobbins, but I'm not all that happy with it. Since I use prewounds so much, it is really hard for me to accept the poor quality of the manual ones!

I'm working on a custom for the movie!! I hope to have it done this week. I know, no help, but I wanted to share LOL! :)

Can't wait to see!!! I just feel like I should make a custom because going to a special screening is pretty cool BUT no clue what to do.... Shocking me and my kids were never big fans o Alice movie so I am not inspired.
 

I just watched GMA and they showed a new toy called Harumika....has anyone else seen this? I haven't seen it in stores yet but it looks like my daughter would LOVE this. She is a budding designer, and already is trying to make clothes for her dolls....

If someone see these in a store, let me know please. I want to see it in person before I actually purchase one for her.

Hi there...
Isn't that the fashion toys for tweens? I looked into it for my DD9 for Christmas. I think I've seen it at my local Walmart (very small selection). I know for sure, I saw it at Toys R Us. I ended up buying my DD project runway stuff. (just a small starter kit, so she had "something" under the tree!)

I found both of the brands to be a rip off. Overpriced for what the child actually gets... but then again, we understand the price of fabric and little accessories!
:o)

I didn't see the show but I just looked them up and frankly I want them!!!!!

My DD got a set of these at Target. It was not what I expected. It's 4 pieces of surged fabric that she would fold and place around and tuck-into the doll. Then stickers for accessories. It's already in the trash so sorry no picture.

They have had them at our Target store for months. From my dd7's friends they have said they are lame, that the fabric doesn't stay on, you can't make it look the way you want etc. They may just be too young for it, but that is the feedback they gave.

Hi! My DD6 Julia has these and LOVES them! They have them at Walmart and Toys R Us as others have mentioned. I don't think I would have spent all that money (like $30. or $35. for the case and starter kit) but she got it for Christmas from her aunt. You can buy just a single dress form for around $10 if you want. It just uses small pieces of fabric serged at the ends, that you could make yourself. Again, my daughter loves fashion and clothes (as many of us know ;)) so she just loves it. It is perfect for her. Hope that helps!
 
I finally received some knit fabric I'd ordered online, and I'm now preparing to make 4 Olivia dresses for the DGDs. First of all, when I opened the paper to trace the pattern, I just about cried! What a mess, all the pieces overlapping with all the sizes. Oh well, taking it slowly I think I can do it.

Question--has anyone made the dress without the hood? I don't think the girls will really like that hanging down their backs; they've never had their hair cut, and the three oldest have looooooong ponytails and braids. The hood will just get in the way. I figure I can just swap out a facing?

Any pointers from anyone before I get started will be much appreciated! I checked the bookmarks, but didn't find anything on this dress.
 
Ahhhh...see that...I'm human again.

I survived a short shopping trip for new shoes, and actually made hamburger soup for dinner.
Nini

Hey Nini, tell me about that Hamburger soup!! I love soup in this weather. Now that my throat is better ............... did I tell anyone I had tonsilitis? Now I know how a little kid feels!!.......... I am ready for something hot again.

Oh, one more thing. She/we don't seem to have a problem with the fabric falling off or not sticking in the back. Sometimes it slides down the chest but that's because the dress-form is slippery plastic an if you pull the fabric too tight around the waist it will slide down. Maybe an older girl would get bored with it after a little bit but my daughter seems to enjoy it a lot.
 
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

I got the fabric at Hancock about two years ago. . . but I have seen it on that auction site we're not supposed to talk about. ;)

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.

LOL! I wish I had a hugenormous hoop! I did Zurg by hand!

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:

Cute! I love the fabrics - that touch of green looks great!

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!

I know! Look how little! I miss my baby Ella:sad1:, but she's awful fun at this age, too - she's my little comedienne - always cracking me up! I ask them all the time to please stop growing up, but they never listen! Maybe if I tell them that others are demanding it, too, they'll finally give in!

Hi y'all, I can't find the sham rock design you're using anywhere- can someone help me out with where to find it?

Also, Dad was moved to the Rehab floor today; and for the first time he sounded like himself and was cracking a few jokes; thanks for all your prayers; I know God is with him.
 
I've been having a hard time trying to keep up with you all lately. Life has been crazy. I took Maddie to have her birthday picture made. The proofs are online, but I don't know how to link the pictures to here, so if anyone would like to see my brand new three year old, send me a pm and I can send you a link and the password.
 
Yay! Just got my Feliz pattern in the mail! I really want to give it a try, but I have a couple other projects I am working on at the moment (hope to have pics to show you soon!), so I will have to back-burner it for a week or so. Can't wait to give it a try, though!

I had a little trouble finding it in stock, so if you are like me and have always wanted to try it but not purchased the pattern yet, you may want to go ahead and get it before they are all gone! It has been discontinued, so who knows how hard it will get to find....

Can't wait to show you what I am working on now - hoping to finish up today or tomorrow so I can get some good pics. Let's just say, I am truly amazed at what you can do with a simply sweet and some imagination! How's that for a tease? :)
 
BIG GIVE ADVICE NEEDED...

I am planning to make tshirts for the adults...

I was thinking for the women maybe a 5x7 sized design, center-front, should I go bigger?

For the Men should I do a larger design on the back of their shirts instead?

If not these options- than what??
 
Me too! Little sweetie pie!

I took the kids to the Y yesterday and told the guy working at the front counter I wanted to sign up the little kids for tennis and he said, Stephanie, those aren't little kids any more! I was :snooty:

What does he know!

I know what you mean. Each age is so special. Well, except for those few difficult years from 18 months to age 8 with Corey. :rotfl: Really, he was a very good kid, but he was a bit more trying at that time! He is absolutely delightful at 17!

That is so good to hear!
 
Could I ask for some prayers please?

My Aunt fell and is in the hospital. She has to have surgery. She lost her husband a few years ago and never had kids. She is too far for me to go see her.

Also my Mom's husband is having heart problems. My dd just loves him.
