Hi...can anyone join in?

My name is Kelly, and I live outside of Philadelphia, PA.

I'm definitely a beginner at sewing, but I've made a few curtains, and (simple)halloween costumes for my kids...so I'm not totally new.

I need a hobby that gets me away from Facebook games..... so I've decided to try to fill my time with sewing.

My kids are a little old for most of the things here, but I have a few little girls in my life that will LOVE some frilly skirts and dresses.

and since I see you are 3 pages in after a few hours..I KNOW I will not be able to keep up

Hi Kelly and everyone!

I'm Alison and I also live outside of Philadelphia. (Well outside of Philadelphia!) I have been a quilter for almost 15 years but I haven't had a ton of sewing time since having kids. I have two princesses (almost 7 and 4) and a little prince (1). I am used to sewing in two dimensions, so I get a little frustrated when I try clothing (usually costumes). Fortunately, I have a dear friend who used to be an Imagineer who helps me through me darkest sewing hours.

I have enjoyed looking at your projects here and look forward to being wholly inspired by all of you! I actually stumbled here because I want to make a stroller bag to hang on the back of our umbrella stroller for our next trip (in May) but haven't been able to find a pattern that I like. I suppose I could wing it, but that would involve thinking and my brain's busted.

Well...I was wrong...there is NO fabrics left in the WalMart at Snellville anymore. Boo Hoo... I was positive I got my fabric there last year...but my daughter said it was Loganville... sorry.

Well, yesterday was Spring Picture day at Gianna's school (love that it is on St. Paddy's day LOL)...anyway this was her choice of picture day outfits:

Also, I posted on the big give site also, but if someone can email me the mailing addy for the give I would appreciate it! Thanks

Here is a pic of one I made a few years ago. I did my own thing, but I do remember Simplicity had a pattern style for hanging off the backseat of the car that might work for you.

 

[scarlet_ibis]

Thanks for the stroller bag picture! That's really cute!

(And Simplicity is the pattern company that was escaping my brain! Of course, it escaped my brain to bring the JoAnn coupon, too, so I won't be picking up any patterns today anyway...)

Thanks everyone, for the well wishes and prayers for my mom.

They first discovered the cancer in her lungs. After a second CT scan, we were told yesterday that there is another (large) mass on her colon.
She is 89 years old, and in frail health. She has Parkinson's Disease and Osteoporosis. She's lived a very full life - she is a Christian and believes that Heaven is waiting for her. She's my step-mom but has been married to my dad for 40 years. My birth mother died in an automobile accident when I was 5, so this woman is really the only mom I've known.
Between her and my dad, there are 11 children - I'm the youngest
Together they have 29 grandchildren, and I don't know how many great-granchildren she has.
So there's the biography

She is opting for no treatment. She's ready to "go home", and my dad is ready to let her go. We've not been given a timeframe yet.

Your prayers are so appreciated - especially for my dad. I can't imagine losing not just one, but TWO spouses in a lifetime. Pray for comfort and peace for him. He wants to take care of her at home as long as he can.

Again, thanks so much!

I agree with pp...what a wonderful legacy your mom is leaving to you and all your siblings. If only we could ALL be that spoken so highly of when we are gone. She has MUCH to be proud of and her "homegoing" will be a celebration with the knowledge that you WILL see her again!! Enjoy every minute with her. I will keep you in my prayers.

Can I ask where you all buy the sisboom fabrics? And those Vidas are just stunning. I LOVE them.

I bought mine on the E__y site. You can just do "sis boom" in the search.

HELP!!! IF YOU HAVE A JOANN'S NEAR YOU, PLEASE READ!!!

Okay, everyone..I'm despearate. None of the Joann's has this fabric near me and I have a dress and a half! If you knew how many incarnations these Easter dresses have been through because I couldn't find the fabric I wanted and then changed to a more casual dress because of it. I didn't take into account the directional issues with the fabric and then I cut some pieces wrong...sigh. I had taken all they had at the Joann's at the time. I'm willing to reimburse you if you happen to find it when you are at a Joann's. I need only a yard but I'd say get a yard and a half Just In Case. LOL. It's called Garden Bunnies and the sku number is 400021283046. I'd love you all forever and ever.

Of course now I can't get the scan to attach because it's a pdf, not a jpeg. I'll have to take a picture at home but it has bunnies on it in the garden with easter eggs, baskets and watering cans.

I'll try to get to Joann's tonight if I can and check.

Can I ask where you all buy the sisboom fabrics? And those Vidas are just stunning. I LOVE them.

I didn't make the vidas, but I have gotten my sisboom fabrics through a coop I'm part of, and also from fabric.com They currently have pretty much the full St. Croix line.

Well, yesterday was Spring Picture day at Gianna's school (love that it is on St. Paddy's day LOL)...anyway this was her choice of picture day outfits:

Cute!

 

[SallyfromDE]

I am FINALLY finished with my DGDs Easter dresses. I was so inspired by LisaZoe's vida that I had to try it myself. Now, I realize mine isn't as intricate and detailed as hers but I am pretty happy with it. Thanks Lisa!!
I used all SisBoom fabrics by Jennifer Paganelli...I just love them.

This is the front and back of DGD5's dress (they are alike mostly except for the placement of the ruffles). I did little sis's first and decided to put more ruffles on Big Sis's.

This is DGD2's dress....front and back...(the ruffles are straight...my photography is crooked..LOL

And a closer look at the applique...

Thanks for letting me share these.

I just love this. Kirsta is 9, but is asking what I'm making her. I was thinking a tunic length Vida with bike shorts. But I doubt I can do anything like this or LisaZoe.

She is your mother for get the step! That is how I feel about my step dad. My dad died when I was 19 so I say he raised me for the 1st half of my life and my step dad raised me the 2nd half. So when he was dx'd with cancer I feared loosing him too. Still do but I pray that won't happen just like I pray for your mother.

Joann's can use the sku and check all the stores in the country to see if they have the fabric. I had them do this for me once. I belive the local store checked for me. They may have had to call the corporate office.

I had the same experience. I think I hugged everyone too! So basically, I was walking up to complete strangers hugging them but really it felt like hugging a long lost friend!

Then, you called me! Someday I want to meet you Kristine!

I agree! I never even once thought about how we hadn't known each other for years and that was our first meeting! That was one of my favorites parts of that trip. I also really enjoyed going to the Boardwalk with Steph and Downtown Disney! Thanks for inviting me. We will have to do it again. Up for Disneyland in October???

I'd love to meet up again! We are planning Florida again in October or September. We are hoping for free Dining again.

Can I ask where you all buy the sisboom fabrics? And those Vidas are just stunning. I LOVE them.

I just wait for Jennifer to send them to Carla, then she sends them to me! I may have to buy some though, because I really want the Nancy from the St. Croix line!

Wait, your friend is a Disney Imagineer?? Tell us more!

I'll be there in May too, when are you going?

I am always telling Corey (my 17 year old) that I can't learn anymore because my brain is FULL. I can't fit anything else in there. Your comment made me think of that!

and, !!!

 

[teresajoy]

*sniff*sniff*

Corey just left and won't be home until Sunday night. He's going to a BPA (Business Professionals of America) competition. I don't think he's ever been away from home this long before!! He tried to sneak out without giving me a hug, but I got him!

We won't find out until Sunday if his team won or not (this is the state competition). I'm so nervous and excited for him!!!

 

[dogodisney]

We have to make our ADR's soon. I have even thought about it yet. We usually do a bunch of the same character meals, but would like to do something new and fun. We have never done Hoop De Doo. What can you tell me about it? Is it worth it? Is it 1 or 2 TS credits? Any other recommendations of fun places to eat? I have 2 DD's ages 3 and 5.

WE ate at Hoop De Doo for the first time this past December. It's alittle corny but fun. My DH and DGD(6) enjoyed playing with the washboards.

You all got me sewing and I have to say that I love it.

Now, I want to make my infant daughter a princess dress (nothing too hard) for our upcoming trip. Any idea where I can get a pattern for a 3-6 month old? Do they even make them that small?

 

[LisaZoe]

(big sigh) Kids are tiring! I honestly don't know how teachers do it every day. I went on a short field trip today with Zoe's class to see a play. We left just after school started and were back in time for this kids to have lunch a little later than usual. It was pretty much 4+ hours of sitting but I feel exhausted. LOL It was fun though so I'm glad I went.

On another subject, for those who have the Zoe skirt pattern, please feel free to give me feedback on it. Honestly, I won't be offended. I want the patterns to be as user friendly as possible so any input I get on what to improve for next time is appreciated.

If you do have the pattern, I'll be sending out what should be the very last version. The previous ones are totally usable but Heather Sue caught a couple of my 'oops' that I want to fix ASAP. Thanks again Heather!

Hi Kelly and everyone!

I'm Alison and I also live outside of Philadelphia. (Well outside of Philadelphia!) I have been a quilter for almost 15 years but I haven't had a ton of sewing time since having kids. I have two princesses (almost 7 and 4) and a little prince (1). I am used to sewing in two dimensions, so I get a little frustrated when I try clothing (usually costumes). Fortunately, I have a dear friend who used to be an Imagineer who helps me through me darkest sewing hours.

I suppose I could wing it, but that would involve thinking and my brain's busted.

I had to laugh because my brain is busted and yet I sew. I started with clothing and just changed to quilting. Quilting is hard! Much harder than making a shirt. Hope you get your stroller organizer made, I did one for the back of the car so DS can put his stuff in it. Sorry don't have the picture any longer.

I don't have a girl but everyone raves about youcanmakethis.com and the Carla C patterns. Now I have the bowling shirt and Carla's patterns are easy to make. BTW, Welcome!
