Well I just got back from our Vegas/Sea world San Diego trip this morning. I decided to spend today resting and looking over this thread. Let me just say you ladies are soooooooooooo impressive! I love everything I've seen. Now I looked through 50+ pages but didn't see everyone so i'm sure I missed some things.

I love the applique work on the Ariel and Lion King Dresses. Great job ladies!

I couldn't get over how original the Woody dresses and teh Pop Century outfit were.

I also loved the Alice in Wonderland Feliz. It was so classic!

I apologize I don't have names down but for the poster who did 5 of 11 different cusotms - WAY TO GO! I was so impressed. I love the Minnie outfits!

Great job ladies!

How do you get invovled in the Big Give? I'd love to join in.

I think I'm officially a Texas mom now LOL. Apparently I missed the whole have to get the kids pictures in a field of bluebonnets memo- but now that I'm working the other girls looked at me like I had 2 heads when I mentioned we didn't have any. So I may have lost a couple years off my life (an autistic kiddo and highway speeds within 50 feet are a scary combo) but got 90 pics. This isn't the best example, but at least it's representative of the idea (I hate that when uploading to photobucket you can only see a tiny thumbnail- makes it hard to pic a shot when 40 of them look vaguely the same at that size)

Nini, I am amazed at what our kids come up with- I still think you should make the dress the way you want to though... tell her the dress was speaking to you

Well, on our trip she will be 10...and is fastly approaching the age where she won't wear the dresses...in fact, she thinks I am making her tops and not dresses...causes dresses are just for church! If I want her to wear them without complaining too much, I have to let her have some say in the design...it is the agreement we came up with! LOL

She has agreed to let me put the embellishments on another dress though...so I guess I'll win in the end!

And truthfully, I think she might have been right about the applique on the bodice of the vida. Right now I'm thinking it would have been too much since the main panel is so busy. It is starting to come together though.....

I warned you, you could be mocked! (although at the moment it looks like my sister typed that, because I was slackin' the day we had to move the thread!) Stick around long enough, then you can tease other people about it!

I like you guys already!
Tomorrow I am going to try and sew my son some shorts. (Lighting McQueen) I am excited about it!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

ok, I can't get the new picture to load and I don't like the one posted. BRB with a better picture

 

[WelovMickey!]

I would like to try a vida dress. Could I get a link to purchase a pattern that you use?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I hope this works !

Mary

Mary you made my favorite shirt the bowling shirt, it looks super. I also love your sewing area, very very nice. The skirt is too cute.

I have been having my behind kicked on this DHS dress in black and white ...sort of a modified Stripwork Jumper...now I have ran out of thread and no time to go to Joann's (30 minutes away) until tomorrow. So I started on the Santa Pooh vida.

I was out voted on the applique on the bodice, but figured I could still use some of the other embellishments I have already gotten in anticipation of these dresses....NO!!! MY DD9 told me to 'let the fabric speak for itself!' Where did she learn THAT!!??!!

I know I should think a nice simple dress would be nice for a change...but I really wanted to embellish this one....
Nini

Nini, Sorry you ran out of thread, we are going to city tomorrow, can you say 4 hours in the car with the kiddos. But I have to get shirts and lots of them. I know about the vote. I think I waited a week to get the boys to agree to the 1900 cuties. Sometimes I wonder why we ask.

Love this beautiful picture Nicole!

I haven't had much time to catch up on all the posts. I have been busy getting my taxes ready for the accountant, making ADR's, and birthday and Easter celebrations.

Now that I have some time again I managed to sew a Care Bear dress for my niece's birthday next month.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

ok, it wont take my cropped picture so sorry you must see me , just look at the design.

 

[billwendy]

Really beautiful!!!! Please dont tell my MIL that this is a necessity for a TX mom though - they live in Georgetown ( been there 11 yrs) - next time we come to TX she will make Billy and I get our pics taken in the bluebonnets!!!!

April = you are too sweet to be wearing a grouchy ol lady on your shirt!!!!!!!

I would like to know where I can get a vida Pattern as well.

I have been reading here for a while and you gals have given me the sewing bug. I am getting back into sewing slowly but surely. I don't have a sewing machine that does all the fancy appliques yet so I just make the outfits. I am working on a shirt now for my one daughter and I would love to make a vida dress for my other daughter or maybe even a vida top and some capri pants. I have the pattern for the pants but need the vida pattern Thanks in advance.

Nicole - this is a beautiful picture. I was with the grandkids last weekend but with Easter and all, we didn't get a chance. We usually take them every year to "the side of the road" to take bluebonnet pics. They are at their dads this weekend so I hope they will still be pretty next weekend when I can get some good pictures of them.

Wendy - you only have to worry about that if it is the last week or so of March or first couple of April. They only last 3-4 weeks around here.

wendy- like granna said, they're only up a few weeks, but more importantly, you better tell me when you're coming next time- Georgetown's only about 15 minutes away from me!

I remember in AIT at Ft. Sam Houston a drill sergeant of mine showed me a picture of her twin girls in a field like this. I didn't know it was a "Texas" thing to do I only remember it b/c she was a drill instructormad and just seeing her as a mom and the artistic side of the picture really changed the way I saw her.

Your kiddos look beautiful!

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Wendy! I am so excited to see you wear it and it looks comfy! YES! It is VERY stretchy fabric!
April- they were from Target, I found the Ts for women at Target and Walmart to be thin and extremely stretchy! I Used Tender Touch by Sulky- some call it "cover a stitch" but you fuse it with an iron on to the back of your Tshirt- Your Step Mother came out nice, what did you use behind her?

Funny, I have had a clown aversion too, but I am open to some now- depends on the face.

I may post photos of ideas for the dress I am doing. I am going to use the bodice of the strip work (with the ruffled edge across the top of the bodice)
and I think I will do a peasant top blouse to go under it. The bottom will be a peek a boo skirt with the top dress being out of rainbow organza I am thinking I need 2 embroidery designs- one for the peek a boo and one for the bodice.
My embroidery idea is to take a Rainbow Bright horse design I have from stitchontime (white horse with rainbow mane and tail) then put a ribbon around his tummy and then knot a little bit of tulle in all the colors of the rainbown (creating a tutu for the horse) then doing ribbon somehow sewn so that it becomes a bridal.....
But Im still brainstorming...

For Megan's I know what Im doing, heres the pattern coming in the mail (lower right corner)

T-beri- Thank you for the photos! So nice to catch up!


BLUEBELLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have pics of the fields when I used to live there. Wow, brings back memories!

How I spent my day-
Working on a little dress for Hannah. I went back to the Sewing Studio- it's an hour away which is a drag. But itll be cute- butterfly embroidery and it will have a mediera collar, but the clown stuff means Hannah's little dress will be put off a bit.
The dress is in bellissima batiste cotton (white) and pink gingham.

My eyes get really drive after so much focusing. I really thought I would make a little more progress than i did, that seems to always be the way with sewing lessons.

Oh, and Wendy, I know I still need to get you a shopping list, I just havent managed to have time without Megan around to call WDW merchendise.

I don't post on here very often, but I do lurk a lot. I love looking at everyone's beautiful work. When I found you all less than a year ago, I had almost given up on ever being able to sew. My mom had been trying to teach me, and everything I made was a complete disaster. I came here and learned about Carla C. patterns, and never looked back. You all are such an inspiration. I wanted to share Maddie's newest dress that I finished today, something I never would have even attempted before. My mom is impressed.

and Maddie's favorite part of the dress:

I was going to take more pictures, but Maddie looked down right after the twirl and said "Look, it's a snake," very calmly. I grabbed her and took off. I never looked to see what she was talking about.
Thanks for letting me share and for being such wonderful teachers.
