and thanks for the prayers, her apt is at 11:10am tomorrow and Im a bit nervous.

I assume you are there now....I prayed for her just before your appt. time. I hope all is well and that their ideas/suggestions put you at peace.

I finally finished the Ariel set a few days ago. I had some leftover fabric after I cut out the stripwork twirl so I made some ruffled Easy fits too, then some Easy fit shorts, and with the very last scrap, appliqued a square onto a t-shirt. So now a mix-n-match set. I had intended for the dress to be a top--but it looks fine as a dress.

So cute having coordinating mix and match. What a great idea.

My pattern tells you to put the ruffles on. Kinda confused how you said yours doesn't. It doesn't tell you where to put them, but the pictures show them and it tells you to put them on. I think it just says "embellish with ruffles". I just followed the pictures on the website.

If I remember correctly, it just says "if you want to embellish, do it now"... I looked at that and said "what?" But I told myself...you can do this...just put your mind to it. I just measured the length of the back piece and divided by the width of the ruffles I wanted to add and then spaced them accordingly so they looked even before I actually sewed them on (just make sure you allow for the ruffles to overlap the seam of the other ruffle below it...does that make sense?)

Hi all! We took our pettiskirted children to the boardwalk Easter Sunday! What a blast! The weather was unusually warm and they even had an egghunt on the beach!!! They got lots of compliments on the skirts! Thanks Teresa for making sure we got them on time and helping us pick out such pretty colors!

I love the petti's ...especially how the colored ruffle changes around the bottom...so cute!

I don't know anything about the machine models but sounds like a good deal to me if you get all of this.

I love everything that I have viewed lately. I'm trying to stay off of the computer lately.

I decided that we needed more outfits for the baseball park.

I just got digitizing software for free! It is SticthEra Universal. Does anyone have this? Do you like it? I am going to start looking at it this weekend. I have to work tonight & tomorrow night. I have a couple designs I want to digitize so badly and DH wants me to digitize something for his friend's tree service business. Plus My dad would love to have new racing shirts. (He runs a dragster at Atco Raceway, NJ)
Wish me luck!

 

[birdie757]

I love that idea. If anyone digitilizes it -please let me know. I will buy it.


Or this one....



or this one!!

My hoop saga contuines, I still have not recieved my 2 hoops that I ordered a week and a half ago. The account says "processing" still - which means that they have not shipped it!!! I have got to do my big give outfits. I have emailed the company three times without a response. The company is the one that runs the singer futura yahoo group, so I put a question on the message board. I am a little ill at the moment about it. I finally gave up and ordered another one from ebay. It is from a store not far from my house and they have already shipped it. Maybe I will get it today.

Once I digitize one of those ideas I will show you how it turns out. I don't sell my stuff usually cause I am too lazy to set it up and I don't want to compete with the other disboutiquers on here. I am sure I can share it though.

If I remember correctly, you had problems with the screws in your hoop right? I just got rid of my futura and it did the same thing! I would have to stop it every minute to tighten up the damn screws or my design would be totally off. I am so glad to be rid of that thing...that bothered me more than the angry beeps all the time...lol. I will make sure I try to keep the minnie design in the "futura" hoop parameters...that is the whole reason I started digitizing...cause I wanted to use the maximum hoop space and no one digitizes for that odd size.

I hope you get your stuff soon. That would drive me nuts.

I use this software. If you have some experience with graphic design software...particularly with vector based programs like Illustrator you shouldn't have a problem.

There is a yahoo group that is very helpful I would highly recommend subscribing too. There is literally no support for this software so if you are not familiar with that type of programing this might not be the one for you. They do have a few nice videos you can watch for the basics that is on the main page when you open the software. It will run ads while it is open and you have to be connected to the internet at all times. This will slow our network down at home so I can't use it when dh is playing WoW...lol. Even if you decide you don't want to digitize it is still helpful for text (you can use any true type font you have on your computer or that you download) or even just for changing file formats or resizing. Good luck!

Thank you to everyone for suggestions on the clown outfit! I have to go do some more research now.

Hannah's eye appointment- so she still has strabismus with esotropia and one eye has an "upward shoot" Which means it turns in and up at the same time, both eyes do it so she will have to have surgery on both eyes. 2 muscles on her left and 1 on her right.
scheduled for April 27
ETA: The Dr said she has no depth perception whatsoever and that it's not unusual to see young children develop much faster and become much more abulatory. So while I am pleased we can help her, anxious that she has to go thru, and excited to see her have a desire to move more. Right now she will sit up and scoot a tiny bit on her butt, but will only reach for toys within a short radius, I think this is because she can't see the toys further away from her or even things I hold too far from her face.

They say its a 1 hour procedure (so not too long to be "under") and will go home with out a patch or anything and will only need tylenol afterwards and her eyes may feel scratchy to her for a day or so. She has a 50% chance of needing it again- but he rarely sees it happen, he's been doing this for 35 years and the lady who schedules surgeries told us he has children from other parts of the USA as well as other countries come to him.
Her surgery will take place a a Children's Hospital, so all pediatric experts.

Ohh, thank you. I would love try to digitalize myself - but I don't have the time or the program to do it with.

Hoop update: I got the second hoop I ordered today. Yeah - I get to do my big give outfits today. I am really not thrilled with the singer futura. I do not recommend that machine to anyone.

Good luck with everything. I am glad they are going to be able to help her. Hopefully all will go well and she will be doing great in no time.

My youngest son had exotropia (similar I guess but the eye goes outward instead of inward) but never ended up needing the surgery because it wasn't too severe. He is 21 now and when he is tired I can still see his eye wander a bit. I guess his wasn't as bad so they felt we didn't need the surgery, but I did learn about it and consider it. Everyone told me it would not be a difficult surgery or recovery, I certainly hope that will be the case for Hannah.

Will be thinking of you all.

Oh.. YAY FOR WICKED TOMORROW NIGHT!! FRONT ROW SEATS!! YIPEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such a dream come true for me.
Please don't think I'm nuts. If I screamed that outloud right now irl my hubby would laugh at me.

I wanted to make a shirt for myself that says "Defying Gravity" across the chest.. then I thought about it some more and realized it was a bad idea.

Have fun tonight! I've seen Wicked twice and I LOVE it!

Um- okay- wow- sorry that photo is so big! I dont know what happened!

No- I didnt make it- see the tags? It's a Wil'Beth, popular heirloom clothing brand

I just dropped Megan off at Preschool and her teacher said she needs a clown suit for April 30th!

I would love ideas- I peeked over at etsy for ideas. I saw 2 different things...
I saw Tutus with suspenders and striped tights and I saw some traditional clown suits-
I would have to buy the tutu and I dont even know where I would find tights or suspenders this time of year..

can you girls give me ideas of cute clown suit patterns?

I had a friend ask me one year to make her DD a clown costume like one she saw on ebay. It was a pillowcase dress with pants (like easy fits) in cute clowny prints. She ended up changing her mind but I was going to use 4 different colored ribbons for the straps. It was really cute!

Hi all! We took our pettiskirted children to the boardwalk Easter Sunday! What a blast! The weather was unusually warm and they even had an egghunt on the beach!!! They got lots of compliments on the skirts! Thanks Teresa for making sure we got them on time and helping us pick out such pretty colors!

You all look gorgeous! I love the girls' pettis!

My DD7 wasn't in the mood to help me out. The girls these are for are 5, so that's why it doesn't fit DD! )

cute!

Too cute! She is going to be a "hit" on the field. BTW....I made the jambalaya last weekend....also a HUGE hit. The family loved it.

So happy she will be getting good specialized help. Sounds like they have a lot of experience and know what they are doing and need to do. I will continue to pray for her.

While we are on the subject of embroidery software(well, sort of on the previous page)....does anyone have the Ped-Basic that you download from the computer to a memory card with? As we have already discussed, my new Brother machine does not have USB port and I was wondering if this is a good one to buy?

I have the PED basic and had to download it from the brother site because of the windows program we have, but it took me forever to figure out what I was supposed to be doing (and i am not totally computer illiterate) but once I figured it out (thanks to heather sue's advice and instructions) i think it is pretty easy to use.

 

[lollipopsandgiggles]

It is official - I can't sew or cut in a straight line....ugh....

And, I did the first Simply Sweet and I can't read directions & the second one I cut wrong and had to do it differently.LOL
I will learn how to sew... I will learn how to sew...

You can do anything you want to do. I wanted to learn to sew but I am so far from family that I was forced to try at teach myself. After many errors I have it down pat. You will to just keep trying. It is a journey that you will learn much about yourself good luck...

How odd...my niece had the same thing...She had the surgery and was home in just a few hours. By the next morning she was up and running and never complained. She was 4 when they did the surgery, and her only comment was that things looked "different" after the surgery...doctor said it was because things looked normal for the first time...
