I wanted to share a sneak peak of an upcoming venture! I digitized and stitched this out this morning.

Cute! What an awesome idea!

Man, I feel like I have not gotten any sewing completed in forever. I did do a few crayon roll ups for friends, but nothing worth posting. My serger is in the shop and I don't want to sew anything for anyone outside of the immediate family without it.
I have done one thing that is kinda cool. My DS, Tyler, is having this hoarding problem lately. Does not want to give away or throw out anything. His PJ's were getting so small on him and some even had rips, so I made him a compromise and built these for him with a bunch of old pairs. The shirt is the Imke and the pants are Easy Fits.
Oh, and the new thing is that he does not like to have his picture taken, so the face was not allowed to be shown.

Ok I am just ready for this month to be over already. I think I am going to set up my little crafting area this weekend so I can sew up the new CarlaC pattern it looks super cute and simple, easy to sew up. I know that Peach would love it and look really cute in it.
I need to sew new things for her.... Poor thing. Another one of her friends died last week. In three months they have had 7 deaths at her school (four of them being a family. so so sad...) Friday there was a email sent out (since there was limited details), and today a formal letter that went out school wide. One of Georgia's little friends that is a grade below her (1st grade) was killed by her mother. They found them Friday morning in bed. Oh its so awful.
This one is hitting her a bit differently emotionally since she was rather close to her at school. The mother always said no to play dates to anyone that asked so we didn't get to know her more than just at school. But Peach played with her and talked about her since meeting her last year when the little girl started. She didn't believe it at first, and then yelled an angry "NO" and held back tears and came home and slept. She did her typical going silent after any emotional bad news (deaths, leaving, moves etc) and got to doing her homework rather quickly after waking up. It was the tears that really got to me. I had to fight them back myself to actually see my baby girl having emotion about this. She was a bit more easily upset tonight and angry so I kept things very routine and normal for her. Not to mention my mom was here over the weekend and left today, so that threw her off a bit too.
Im going to talk to the office in the morning after school starts about if she gets upset or angry and aggressive (more than normal) to give me a call.
Its just so sad and horrible, I just don't understand how a mother can do that to her child. I won't go into many details, because its just so awful. but the paper said she left a note, but didn't say what was written, and that they died from an over dose on pain pills..... If you could just say a prayer for the family tonight, and hug your babies.
Just got off the phone with my DD9's principal. Basically it was a waste of time! Evidently he has a built in lie detector and can tell when a child (who is on his first day of school) is lieing to him! Of course, the fact that he had the two kids in question in the same room at the same time had nothing to do with it! I mean if you were in the room with your bully, would you disagree with anything he said?
He will not 'punish' the other kid based on unsubstantiated claims. I fail to see how moving a kid to another class on his second day would be punishing him, although he did offer to move my daughter to another class. I guess it is ok to punish the victim.
So, for the short term fix, my husband will be having lunch at her school every day in uniform (he is a deputy) and the school resource officer will be keeping an eye on him.
Long term fix, we are speaking to our attorney tomorrow and may be home schooling again.
Thanks for all the well wishes and good thoughts. I really think it was easier when my older three were in school. We never had problems like this. Of course we were in the military, and if the kid messed up the parents got in trouble! Now, too many parents are looking at the schools to 'fix' their kids.
...off my soapbox!

I am so sorry that you have no support from your principal! Our school has a No Tolerance policy but there is still some occasional bullying. But it does get dealt with quickly - i would also appeal all the way to the Superintendent if needed!
And guess what arrived today?? My new machine!!!I have only sewn on a mechanical machine, so this one seems so fancy to me! I won't get to play much until tomorrow, but I can't wait!!

Okay, I think I'm ready to dive into my first YCMT patternAnyone have any helpful hints?? I'm doing the Raglan pattern, it looks pretty simple for a novice like me. I'm just nervous, because I've never made anything from an "e-pattern" before. I hope I get the measurements right so everything will match up correctly.
Also, does anyone know if there are any maternity clothing patterns?? I'm shocked that I can't find any no matter where I go! Basically I just want some nice pants, casual shirt, maybe a sundress, and a nursing gown would be nice too...

I have a bunch that I have not gotten around to posting on my etsy...(maternity) these are NOT epatterns, they are mccalls, simplicity, etc.
are you interested in those kinds of patterns or just epatterns?
I absolutely think you should start with a pair of easy fit pants, and then a raglan to go with. for summer, they make easy shorts to whip up, or capri length. You can easily alter it to use a narrower leg size, or add some inches to the top for a higher waist, etc.
the portrait peasant is very versetile too.
Not epatterns but elizabethleedesigns.com has great maternity and nursing patterns.

Hey guys, I'm new to this thread! I just had to post because my sister made the most delicious Tinkerbell gown for our goddaughter. We are taking her to Disney World for her 7th birthday. We're leaving tomorrow and she turns seven on Thursday! We are definitely going to be meeting with fairies, and also having a surprise dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table, and she has a gown that I don't think could be better if my sister was a FAIRY godmother! We bought an adult sized dress at Ross for $29.99 and altered it quite a bit to make this dress. The little jacket was $14.50 at Sears with their Easter dresses, it was originally white and I dyed it to match.
Here it is...

And here's the detailing on the back, you can really see the sparkle:

There's also wings, a crown, a sash, and little sparkly sneakers to run around in. We'll have the finished product photos when we get back!
