Re: washing bias tape.

I strongly recommend washing red bias tape. We got caught in the rain and DD had her AG dressed in a dress I had made. The red bias tape bled all over the dress and the doll

THanks for all the answers. It was off white because I couldn;t find any light enough purple that it would not show thru. Adn white is too hard to keep clean. I;ll post pictures before I give it to the little girl I made it for.
THanks

Did you send Dena (Digital by Design) a message? I'd think she'd be able/willing to do them in 4X4.

I haven't wanted to post here about this, but I would appreciate prayers from those of you who don't mind. My husband of 11 years has struggled w/ depression on and off over the last 7 years. Suddenly, a month and a half ago he just "shut down" emotionally- coincidentally, right after we went away for a weekend and had a wonderful time. He hasn't spoken to me since, except for the truly necessary whos picking up the kids, etc. Today he said he's not sure if he loves me anymore or wants to be married anymore. he says there's no one else and that he hasn't made up his mind. I'm completely stunned, confused and overwhelmed. I still love him as much or more as the day I married him, and had no idea this was coming.

Would y'all pray that he would find peace and wisdom, and that if it's God's will he would find his way home?

Thanks.

ETA: I know it might seem strange to post here, but I consider y'all friends, and I know we pray for each other a lot when needed. It's very humbling to ask for prayers for this. I know I must have done something wrong, and I just can't figure out what it is.

Prayers and hugs Nicole. As others have said....I'm sure that you've done nothing wrong. Mental illness is a gigantic mystery to everyone who is NOT going through it.

I am glad to be back ladies...I have had a crazy few months. The Give items I shipped out this week were the first things I have sewn since January....but I have a good excuse.

Back in Nov we decided to try for another baby. We went to Disney world and low and behold two weeks after our trip I got a positive test. Unfortunately, that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. We had another trip planned in January and it was kind of our little joke that maybe we could bring a little "magic" home with us again. You won't believe it but two weeks after our trip on my birthday I tested and got another positive! So right now I am just a day shy of being 12 weeks pregnant with a due date of Oct 5th. We are just ecstatic!

So, in early Feb morning sickness hit me hard. Sitting at the computer made me queasy but not as much as watching my sewing machine needle bob up and down and don't even think about getting me behind my embroidery machine...you might as well have thrown me on the teacups for an hour...lol. I survived my give outfits and have some other projects lined up so I think I am back on the horse. I was missing seeing all those wonderful outfits for two months!

I see a few other ladies are due around the same time as me...I am so glad to have some company.

Congrats!!! I'm a Disney Souvenir from my parents' 1976 trip Just be forewarned...that means the Disney obsession starts from birth

Well, she got home safely, but didn't make the cut, and neither did her 2 friends. Evidently they were looking for blondes. But she's ok with it, and says it was a good learning experience. Her next plans are to go to Miami at the end of next month for an audition with Royal Caribbean. I'll take her to that one, letting her go to Orlando for the day with friends is one thing, but overnight 5 hours away into a big city is another.

Sorry to hear that your DD didn't make it but nice to see she handled it so maturely. Sounds like you have a good girl there

I really think that this dress needs a hoop skirt...I wish I would made one for dd before she outgrew it. It needs some serious umpf to truly display it properly. I have played around with the idea of making it again for her and making a simple hoop skirt for it next time.

My DGD was over tonight and I tried the mostly finished dress on her. It looked great but you are right, it needs huge poof power. Any recommendations from the experts how to make a hoop skirt or something similar with great poof, or where to buy one?

I haven't been on for several days, but saw your post and had to reach out. Please don't blame yourself. Whatever has happened, or is happening, is God's will....regardless of how difficult it seams and it will either bring you closer in the end or open new doors for you.

Our hearts & prayers are with you

MMM

Okay maybe I'm just not smart enough to find it or I'm not looking under the right name but I can't find the vida pattern that is so popular on these threads! Can somebody help me before I lose my mind!

Just had to skim through the last few pages. I can't keep up!

I was searching around for a party theme idea for Ella and came across this blog. This is the cutest girl party idea! It's an American Girl pioneer theme. The homemade bread and jam are making my mouth water! It's way more involved than I would normally do, and I think it may be a little old for Ella this year, but I'm bookmarking it for future and thought I'd share!

Oh, I just noticed a Vintage Glam Barbie party, too! Ca-ute!

That party planner is in my town! Now if only I had $1,000...

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Hopefully he can get the best treatment for his depression and come around.

Sorry about the miscarriage but congrats on the new little souvenir! And just remember, morning sickness is a good thing! I have a souvenir from the 2002 Winter Olympics. His name is Luke!

I have been sewing all weekend. These are my last outfits for a few weeks (I am off to finish quilting my vintage baby quilts....must be done by Easter).

So here is what I worked on all weekend. My DGDs and daughter are having professional pics done on Thursday so in addition to the Bambi vidas that I posted a few days ago, I made my DD a shirt (the Meghan peasant) to match the girls dresses...
I made it out of the only piece of fabric I had left over from the dresses..

And then, I decided they needed another outfit for pictures so I made two of these cute little Simply Sweet nautical outfits for them.

Now I am back to the quilts for awhile and hope to post pics of them in a week or two.

Ahhhh...those are sooo cute! I love the Mickey band at the bottom...is it ribbon? That was sweet of you to make the adults shirts too. That will make a very cute picture of all of them.

Hi everyone. I've been poking through the thread the last few days. i just love all the pics. the outfits are soo cute.
I have not sewed in A LONG time! so i made be a little rusty with the lingo.

I'm trying to make a Mary Poppins costume for my DD. I'm using a old flower girl dress. I'm almost done!
I've been working on the hat, when i noticed that mary's hat in the movie is different then the one she wears in the park.

I will be useing thin elastic to hold the hat on the DD head. with tool around her neck. Now i'm re-thinking it.

to anyone that has made a Mary poppins dress, how did you do the hat???

 

[billwendy]

Anita - yes - it is ribbon at the bottom. Its from Joann's new line of Disney stuff - its usually $$ but I had a coupon = lol!!!
