So cute! DH talked me out of buying that fabric the other day in those colors! I just love it! Why did I listen to him!!! I did get it in a different color and have it in two others, but it just looks precious on your daughter!

Hey Jessica,

I heard a rumor you were considering a trip for SWW?

Hey Jessica,

I'm in! Talk to one of my friends! I can't get either to commit! One is almost there I think though, we'll see!

Teresa, have you noticed how EXPENSIVE Seuss fabrics are???? Holy COW!!!! I am bidding on some on Ebay, but I saw so on Etsy for $50/yd!!!

I think I will find a plain cotton romper and embroider it. But I want to make something matching for Isabelle. We have never been to IoA.

To embroider a tshirt or similar, do you take out seams and then put it back together?

I have been looking to my daughter is going to do our first gs due in sept nursery in dr suess so if you find anything give me a holler too.

Thanks guys! The first name we really like the most is Emily. Dd is Ashley so we think they go well together...short and sweet. The middle name I really wanted to use was Anne...because it is my grandma's and my MIL's middle name...but that would make her initials EAT. I just keep thinking...what if she is chunky and is teased with initials like that? Names we can't use are Lynne, Brooke, Elizabeth and Catherine. Soooo...that eliminates lots of the popular middle names...lol. I am totally open to suggestions!

I will be honest that I am scared to have two sisters. My sister and I are 2 years apart and STILL don't get along. And we have lived over 1,000 miles apart for over 9 years now. We are just polar opposites. I would hate for my girls to be like that too. I am hoping the large age difference might help. My dd will be about 2 months shy of turning 5 when number 2 arrives and will be in preschool half days.

I just finished up some digitizing and should be able to at least get started on two of the 4 dresses for our trip in two weeks. Dd went to the fabric store with me and her Tianna Barbie to help pick out the fabric for a Tianna dress. She was holding the doll up to the fabric and it was so cute. I was afraid that in her current "pink" kick she would change her mind but she went with exact color matches! I don't think I could have picked anything better actually. I can't believe next year I will be doing double the customs! I am really going to have to stop the procrastinating!

How about Grace? I think Emily Grace is a pretty name.

I see that Trend Lab is making things with Dr. Seuss material. I wonder how hard it is to get hold of?

I have never embroidered on a little t-shirt, and do my best to not directly embroider on ANY t-shirts! I have always just made a patch on regular cotton and sewn that onto the t-shirt.

I think that the stripes and blue always make for the most adorable outfits! I cannot wait to see what you come up with!! But I could play, let's make a deal, come on down and visit and the hoarder in me will let you use some suess fabric!

I hope I can pull it off!

OOOH, that would be a great reason to come to Georgia! Actually, just seeing you would be a great reason! I didn't even know you had Dr. Seuss fabric! Is there anything you don't have in your stash??

Sooooo, has anyone else ever 'won' a fabric auction...and never remember bidding on it? I do remember LOOKING at it! So, I guess I did bid...just wish I knew what I was planning on using it for!

I hate getting old!



Nini

Nope, not yet!

This is adorable!

I love everything posted, I have just been super busy.


I love the Cinderella Apron Pattern. I love cute vintage things like that. So... how do you feel about making color copies of it? I would love to buy one and frame it...

Congratulation on the great dress form! Finding bargains makes me

I could do that for you. Maybe I could make a nice scan of it and send you the file? I would not let you pay for it though!

I love a good bargain too!

Does anyone use a rolled hem foot on their regular sewing machine? I really want one but only if it works well. I do not have a serger and I hate hemming.

I really like mine! I watched a video of of how to use it, and then just did it! It was pretty easy. The video should be in the bookmarks.

My new machine came in Thursday. I made two projects so far. I wanted to share a picture of my first sewing project.

I LOVE this! That fabric is gorgeous!

Haven't we discussed this before that we should NEVER listed to our husbands about things like this??

Thanks for all of the compliments on the Big Give Minnie outfit and the Alice dress.

That was the format I was told I needed. I just go by what I am told, LOL!!!! I'm still pretty much clueless!


Anita, I love both! I have yet to make a scallopini, I have the pattern. Made LOTS of stripwork! That Alice is very cute!

Question, when you do a tshirt like that, do you take out the side seams?
Very cute!!!!

Thank you. I didn't take the tshirt apart. I just put the stabilizer under the front and put the hoop on under that (so in between the front and back of shirt). Then I flipped the sleeves and back of shirt around the hoop (so sort of making a wad of fabric all the way around ....ha...that sounds horrible, huh?) and while it was stitching I just held the bundled up tshirt out of the way so it didn't get caught in the needle. It was kind of complicated but it is a little girls shirt (size 5). I think maybe a little bit larger one would be easier and a smaller shirt would be impossible to do because it would be too little to get around the hoop. Someone else may have a better suggestion. It was only my second time to do this and thats all I could come up with without taking it apart.

Hi ladies! I love reading your threads & seeing all the gorgeous outfits you make! I'm just starting DD's dresses for our trip in May (need to get moving on them!!). I'm almost finished this Cinderella dress but can't decide if it needs anything else to make it a little fancier. Any ideas? Maybe a satin ribbon to tie in the back? I used CarlaC's Simply Sweet pattern for the top & improvised a pettiskirt pattern for the skirt part. Chiffon is definitely a pain to work with, lol.

It is beautiful!

Ok so i have been so busy. makeing this dress that i have not been able to so how amazed and in love i am with everyones designs. Happy late birthday to all the kiddos and so on to everyone.

So i was very nervouse about making this apron. I did not have a pattern and did not know how to make one. Let me say I was very nervous but i think it turned out great. I love the Phrase that Sweet Heather Sue made for me. Thanks a million on that. I painted Alice on the bottom of the dress. So this is what she will wear for her Alice Tea party birthday for next month.

Great job. And I love the saying on the front.

I must confess...I have done this several times. Or I bid and never go back to see if I won it.

 

[tricia]

Ok...finally got a couple pictures taken and loaded into photobucket.
This is the outfit I made for the Big Give. I hope she likes it.

And then, just because I was having so much fun appliqueing, I stitched out Alice and then had to think of something to put her on.

Isn't she cute?

Too cute. I have the scallopini pattern but have never made it. I think I should put it on my to do list. I always love what everyone else does with it.

Great job with the Alice dress too. I am thinking about getting an embroidery machine and I will probably have the same problem. The need to stitch things out, and nothing particular to make.

I finished my grandma's apron Took me around 2 hours (even though I had to recut it because I accidently cut it upside down!) and I'm so happy with it! I used an apron I had already as a pattern aka carbon copy of the design

I can't find my camera so I used my cell. You think she'll like it?

Looks really cute, I;m sure she will love it.

What a pretty way of doing that, awesome idea.

Now they should show up!

Great job.

[RMAMom]

It's ridiculous how expensive it is! Last year someone found some scrubs made with Seuss fabric, if you buy a large size you could cut quite a bit of fabric out of it, and the price wasn't too bad. I will goggle and see if I can find one again.

Brilliant

Ninni, you are soooo funny!

Get the Garden Started Party!!!! I have an Aunt that was married for 47 years and her husband (Uncle Sam) passed away last February. Aunt Carol & Uncle Sam have a beautiful house in the country and Aunt Carol is a Master Gardner. Every year she and Uncle Sam spent hours in their many gardens. Uncle Sam was in and out of hospitals for the last year so the gardens are a mess. My sister sent an email to the family to come to a get the garden started party and today my sisters, cousins, Mom, Aunts etc spent the day pulling weeds and laying mulch and fixing decorative fencing etc. At the end of the day we had a great dinner and just enjoyed being together! It was such a great day! We are tired and our muscles are screaming but we feel good about what we got done today and days like this remind me how great my family is. The kids played and chased the dogs while everyone worked in the flower beds and now when Aunt Carol comes outside she wont be overwhelmed and maybe she'll feel just a little bit better and I just know that Uncle Sammy is smiling down on all of us!

I have it all! LOL! I try to have it all atleast! I have 2 different Dr. Suess ones still. I passed on the pottery barn sheets because I thought the designs would be too big. I am sure I could have done something but at $20/yard still it was a bit much, although I paid that for my last green yard accidentally.

I quoted myself!

I actually feel kind of bad, I now have purple and yellow dot in my stash, the bigger Joann size (but not supersize). I feel bad because just last week I traded fabric and those were two I didn't have. I got them at Mary Jo's the other day, but could only get a couple yards of each. I spent WAY too much $$!

Here's another dress I made with a variation of the Zoe skirt. This is the longest one I've made so far and I think it came out really pretty (if I say so myself LOL).

It WAS $4/yard at Walmart!!! Back when they had Buzz and Woody and all kinds of stuff that couldn't be found for a while. I am thinking it was towards the beginning of the start of this thread, or before it even existed. Actually, it must have been before Dallas was 2, because his crib was up, but as a toddler bed. I made a Toy Story set and remember taking a picture using his crib!

I probably bought 10 yards of the blue Suess fabric! I have 2 left.

 

[jessica52877]

I need to expand my search!

I didn't think the crib sheetprice was horrible, it gives you close to two yards (minus the corners) but kind of thin. I usually line my white anyways.

I think at christmas two years ago there were some scrub tops at walmart too. Hmm, I must go there too often! I feel like I hardly go in the store.
