[billwendy]

Twirling....

Close up of the flowers:

It told her we could go inside and she said, what about the back? What a good little disboutiquer!

Hey Tessa, there is our pond with alligators in it. And our fence! Heather is getting a fence to keep the coyotes out, Sawyer told me.

I love the Zoe skirt with the tanks posted earlier. I think I will try that for Disney for a big girl outfit. We are going for a weekend in May, so she should have one new thing, right? Maybe I will be really brave and embroider something on the shirt?

Steph - that is really beautiful!! How did she do the ribbon thing on the embroidery? That is amazing!!! Tell Megan she looks great!! Do you really have alligators? What about Scrappy:? And, did I hear you were laughing at poor Pierre??????

you really should just go ahead and try something simple on your machine - its not that hard with Heather's designs, she just makes them a pleasure to do!!!

Love the Easterry dresses posted here and on facebook!!

Can you believe I can now say we will be in Florida next week!!!!!!

Isn't there someone on here in Tallahassee? I have to take DD4 to the eye Dr there Tues & if I'm going to drive 2 hrs to get there, we are going to have to do something fun too! Could you PM me please, I need to know if the Tallahassee Museum would be good for a 2 & 4 yr old or if there is something more fun for us to do. Thanks!

I grew up in Tallahassee. HERE is where I would take the little ones. It has trails where you can see native animals and lots of places to run around. It is a lot of fun.

THIS is new and my parents have taken my kids there and they like it, but I am not sure about little kids.

I just asked my son and he recommends the first one (it used to be called the Junior Museum and I still call it that). PM if you need more information. I hope you and the kids have a great time!

I do not know how she did it Wendy! I think she took a class and bought some fancy silk ribbon and did it! We have alligators that come and go through the drainage pipes. That's why we have a fence! We also have coyotes, hawks, and a bobcat so we really have to watch out for him.

Pierre is really funny looking, poor thing! His ears are so big compared to Josie's and he always looks confused. Both dogs were great though, when I told Megan to tell everyone goodnight last night she kissed Josie and Pierre first and just called "good-night" over her shoulder to everyone else!

I do need to try it, especially with the good feedback I hear about Heather's designs. I'm just askeered!

I thought it was you, but I'm so bad with names I was afraid I had it wrong. Those were the 2 I had been looking at & was leaning toward the first, thinking it looked more kid friendly. I'm glad to have the confirmation though before getting there & spending the $$. Thanks so much!

LISA: Congrats on the pattern! I'm so happy for you!

I've been really backed up on sewing lately, so haven't had much time to keep up on the thread. But fortunately I did eek out an Easter dress for Katie Friday night. Kit, her AG doll even got one to match. Although I didn't finish that one until this morning!

Happy Easter everyone!

I love this dress and jacket not to mention the dolly dress also. Too cute

 

[Tykatmadismomma]

I love the Easter dresses. I finally got some work done and finished a whole dress complete with my very first Applique!!!

Here is the dress I made for myself, Tyler cut my head off.

Hello All,
I have not been on the boards for a long time....had a baby, been busy sewing for our recent trip (not to mention I own a business and am the mother of a competitive dancer....no sleep for me!). Anyways, I wanted to share the sustoms I made for my trip. I will try to post one or two outfits a day for the next couple days. (I made 11 sets of 5!!!!)
Enjoy!
P.S. The older blonde girl and the baby are mine....the other three are my nieces and nephew.

I know you can't advertise your website here, but is it forbidden to ask that you (or someone else) PM me with a link to it? I found HeatherSue at etsy but I tried your ID and didn't come up.

Lisa, I've been drooling over your work for a couple of years now (I'm mostly a lurker, heaven knows what got into me this weekend to actually post, lol). Do you have a website too?

You were making fun of poor Pierre??? Shame on you!
Don't be scared of the machine! It's really easy! hoop, stitch, place, stitch, cut, stitch... boom, you are done.

You guys look so pretty!!! I love the dresses!

Dresses from Animal Kingsom Day. NOT the best pics of the kids, but I was trying to show the outfits.

 

[ireland_nicole]

First off, love, love, love the Easter stuff- y'all have outdone yourselves.

Second; love the new Carla C pattern- I've now actually made my first top for me- I made tunics for my mom and friends, but not for me yet- Let me first say, I hate pictures of myself, I don't like the way I look, and I'm definitely not photogenic- but the shirt looks better on, and I wanted to show the "larger" ladies how the shirt looks in a 3x. So, without further ado-

Please, please thumbnail it if you happen to repost it

Did you use a pattern for the girls tops?

And where did the print fabric come from? It's ADORABLE!

Love it...I wasn't sure I would like it in the larger sizes, but I do! And I like that you didn't use a rolled hem (my serger and I still don't 'do' that...no matter how many times I have watched my dvd or read the manual!)
Thanks for giving me a look at how it would work....I might just have to get that after all...



Troijka,
I'm right there with you on the number of outfits I am making...7 people; 2 outfits each day; 10 days...I'm busy but having a blast! I have been making 14 outfits (for one day) each month. So far it is working pretty well...Give me another 6 months or so and I will be in overload trying to get everything done. At least my DIL is in charge of the hair bows and accessories for this trip!)

ABSOLUTELY LOVELY! Great fabric, great pattern, and it's wonderful to put a face with your name!

I hope things are going ok for you.

Hi all! Happy Easter (a little late)! We had an amazing weekend and the weather was BEAUTIFUL!!! I got WAY too much sun but it was so worth it! We were outside the entire weekend. Spring weekends like this in New York are as good as it gets! I think we were around 75 degrees, sunny, no humidity, a little breeze and blue skys!

Anyway, the Easter dresses, wedding dresses and the spring dresses posted are just adorable! I can't help with any of the embroidery machine questions because I don't have one.

The coodinating Disney outfits were so great! That must have taken a long time but was sooo worth it!

The 3x top is awesome too and it looks great on you!

Sorry I didn't take the time to quote, I have to head to class and was skimming through. Keep up the good work all!

 

[troijka]

Hi!

Thanks for the compliments! The tops were from instructions from youcanmkaethis. Here is the name: How to Make a Corset Top With a Shirred Back.

The fabric was a michael miller print: Plain Jane. SUPER cute line.

Do you mind if I CASE this for my daughter for our upcoming trip? I LOVE it!

I didn't have time to multi quote but I love everything. That ribbon embroidery is very impressive.

Sounds like everyone had a nice Easter. The weather was beautiful and we got to spend some nice time outside. I wish we had family visiting though as it didn't really seem like a special holiday KWIM. And everyone was in a mood...we were all arguing. The girls wouldn't even stand still to get a nice picture. I hate that we have hardly any family pictures. I ended up with a massive headache and woke up with it to. It's definately allergies and that may have been what was throwing everyone off yesterady.

I got so many compliments on the dresses. I'll upload pictures tonight since I was down for the count yesterday. I really think they are the nicest ones I've ever made partially because of the serger. It looks so professional on the inside and they went together so much nicer.

Now to finish big give items this week and my blankets for my GAD project that are due this week.

I wanted to comment on the embroidery machine question.
I LOVE my brother. I have a 2003D so it's an older machine (in machine years) but I love it. I did buy it because of the Disney designs originally but would highly recommend it. The only problem I ever had with it was when the plate got burrs on it and I kept breaking threads/getting jams. I took it in and they got it running perfect. Now I make sure to take it in every year for a tune up. I wish I had a USB but my takes floppies (again the old machine years thing) which is a PIA.

The only reason we got a machine that expensive at the time was because we got an excellent deal on it. My MIL bought a husquevarna at the same time and the dealer gave us both such a great deal. We've sent 3-4 other people to buy machines from him. Unfortunately for me, he's up in the Poconos but whenever we visit the IL's we go for a visit as we get 10% off.

Anyway..I know my MIL loves her Husquevarna also but she is more of a quilter and I think that machine does more quiling things than my brother.
