Sorry- Drive by- again. ugh. Love everything that's been posted- Lisa- WOW!

Can y'all continue to pray? My dad is still in ICU in Chicago, they think he'll still have enough stump to walk on and that they got the worst of the infection out, but he'll still be on IV antibiotics at least 6 weeks and he's in a lot of pain. Today I either lost or had my wallet stollen, and because I'm distracted and stupid lately, I had my social security card in it- I've spent the last 4 hours calling everyone, getting a lock on my credit, and figuring out how to get a new ss card and dl. DH is leaving at 6 am for a week, coming home for a day, and then leaving for another week. DD is already having trouble sleeping because she's so worried about state mandated testing this week (breath), and just when I literally said, well, things can't get any worse, the phone rang. My uncle who we're very close to (my DM's brother) is in ICU in Florida w/ a bleeding brain aneurism. It appears to be a smaller vessell, and they're going to go in and try to surgically repair it.

I'm so overwhelmed at the minute I can't think straight or get a full breath in. FWIW, we had a great day at Morgan's wonderland (except the part where someone took my wallet anyway) I'll try to post pics when I can.

ETA: at least since I'm not sleeping I'm getting some sewing done for our trip. I'll post some things when I have a second.

It WAS $4/yard at Walmart!!! Back when they had Buzz and Woody and all kinds of stuff that couldn't be found for a while. I am thinking it was towards the beginning of the start of this thread, or before it even existed. Actually, it must have been before Dallas was 2, because his crib was up, but as a toddler bed. I made a Toy Story set and remember taking a picture using his crib!

I probably bought 10 yards of the blue Suess fabric! I have 2 left.

Walmart? I didn't know that's where it came from! I wasn't sewing much then, so that must be how I missed it. bummer!

I didn't think the crib sheetprice was horrible, it gives you close to two yards (minus the corners) but kind of thin. I usually line my white anyways.

I think at christmas two years ago there were some scrub tops at walmart too. Hmm, I must go there too often! I feel like I hardly go in the store.

I could never find the scrubs!

Nicole, I'm sorry you are going through so much right now. I will be praying for you and your family.

 

[livndisney]

I need to expand my search!

I "think" I found them at Walmart. But it may have been Target.

But I did make a Who outfit out of red, white and tealish fabric. I thought I had a pic in my photobucket but I guess not. I did a Who face applique on the bodice with the lovely blue who hair.

(Just to tell you how long ago it was, I think she wore it the day we met you at MCDonalds (before she changed into her Minnie dress))

Now I need to find the pic LOL

Ninni, you are soooo funny!

Get the Garden Started Party!!!! I have an Aunt that was married for 47 years and her husband (Uncle Sam) passed away last February. Aunt Carol & Uncle Sam have a beautiful house in the country and Aunt Carol is a Master Gardner. Every year she and Uncle Sam spent hours in their many gardens. Uncle Sam was in and out of hospitals for the last year so the gardens are a mess. My sister sent an email to the family to come to a get the garden started party and today my sisters, cousins, Mom, Aunts etc spent the day pulling weeds and laying mulch and fixing decorative fencing etc. At the end of the day we had a great dinner and just enjoyed being together! It was such a great day! We are tired and our muscles are screaming but we feel good about what we got done today and days like this remind me how great my family is. The kids played and chased the dogs while everyone worked in the flower beds and now when Aunt Carol comes outside she wont be overwhelmed and maybe she'll feel just a little bit better and I just know that Uncle Sammy is smiling down on all of us!

What an incredibly sweet thing to do for your aunt.

Here's another dress I made with a variation of the Zoe skirt. This is the longest one I've made so far and I think it came out really pretty (if I say so myself LOL).

Lisa - it is beautiful.

Oh Wow...sorry you are having to go through all of this. I hope some honest person returns your wallet and prayers still being said for your dad and uncle now.

 

[LisaZoe]

Lisa, this is GORGEOUS! I love the long layers. That looks so pretty!

Thank you! It's funny, I didn't think the skirts looked right when the layers got this long (which is why I stopped at 16") but I think it works well on the dress.

Lisa, you are killing me, do you know how many times I have had to turn off the computer so "someone" did not see the Fairie stuff you are making?

Should we establish a 'fairy free' time period?

(I have Dr Seuss fabric(Grinch)-you will NEVER believe where I got it> Sleep pants!)

Was it knit? I've seen some cute knits in the Wal Mart sleepwear section. I even bought some capris last year with Tink, Minnie/Mickey and Marie (Aristocrats) on them thinking to use them for fabric but ended up letting Zoe have them. They look really cute on her so I don't regret that decision.

I could never find the scrubs!

I just did a google search for 'seuss scrubs' and found a cute print with book names with several characters. I still can't bring myself to pay that much for a character print, though.

 

[LKD]

Wow I'm so behind! I'll catch up tomorrow

My grandma loved her apron I'm so happy. My cousin's lil boy wanted to take it for his mom since she's a chef

I cleaned out my sewing table and wow I threw away around 3 trashbags full of uselessness! I found so much cotton that I was inspired to make something.

So I made a small bag for my cell phone and wallet.

I wanted to make it similar to this tote bag I made. It was one of the first things I ever sewed, I think it was my final for my sewing class back in high school. I won 2nd place at the county fair with it Unfortuantly since it was made around 3 years ago I have used it plenty and its so faded and one of the straps ripped off!

So, guess where I was 8 years ago today? Holding my first baby! After being induced, b/c I was 2 weeks ovedue, 26 hours of rough labor (and only dialating 5 cm), resulting in an emergency C- section, Isabelle Autumn Winkler came into this world at 6# 9oz.

That is so great of your family to do. I'm sure she appreciates it more than you will ever know.

Looks great as a dress Lisa. You have such an eye for style, I wish I had just a bit of that.

(I have Dr Seuss fabric(Grinch)-you will NEVER believe where I got it> Sleep pants!)

There were some Grinch sleep pants at Zellers last year, and I was tempted...But did not have anything I needed to do with him at the time. I know now that I will eventually regret the decision not to purchase them.

Well then, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISABELLE

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I re did a shirt for DH and also made an outfit for our little guest, then I added in my sewing area with all three machines going. I love being able to have a dedicated machine for the ruffler. I just take it out and it works.

[MinnieVanMom]

Sooooo, has anyone else ever 'won' a fabric auction...and never remember bidding on it? I do remember LOOKING at it! So, I guess I did bid...just wish I knew what I was planning on using it for!

I hate getting old!
Nini

Nini, you are so funny, that happens to me all the time.

Does anyone use a rolled hem foot on their regular sewing machine? I really want one but only if it works well. I do not have a serger and I hate hemming.

I just did this for the ruffled diapie cover. I used the foot on my brother and it worked ok. Starting out is hard but I watched U tube and did what the it said.

Sorry- Drive by- again. ugh. Love everything that's been posted- Lisa- WOW!

Nicole, you have so much on your plate now and hope you can get rest and peace. I will pray for your family and for you. Wish I was there to help you out.

Great use of scraps. I love it.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

somehow my multi quote went very bad! 2nd try.

My new machine came in Thursday. I made two projects so far. I wanted to share a picture of my first sewing project.

I missed the picture of your machine but I love this fabric choice and she is too cute.

Here's another dress I made with a variation of the Zoe skirt. This is the longest one I've made so far and I think it came out really pretty (if I say so myself LOL).

As usual your work is stunning and I love the length.

Amazing as always

Here is my daughter's dress for her first birthday.

 

[GrammaBelle]

That is not it at all. I'm not very good at asking for help so I didn't want to impose on the same group who tested the first pattern. I'm still trying to work out the best approach for this. If you're interested in testing, I'd be happy to have another person giving feedback!

I have 5 granddaughters ranging from age 10 to 9 months! I'd be happy to test drive any size you need! Finishing up my first Feliz now; I'm having fun in the sewing room again

Thanks so much for the picture! That gives me inspiration! I couldn't find red and white striped fabric in my stash, but I hadn't thought to just use red and white fabric! I love this... Lydia saw it and thinks Aunt Heather needs to digitize her a thing 1 design!

Thank you! It's funny, I didn't think the skirts looked right when the layers got this long (which is why I stopped at 16") but I think it works well on the dress.

I just did a google search for 'seuss scrubs' and found a cute print with book names with several characters. I still can't bring myself to pay that much for a character print, though.

It is so beautiful long like this. It's a differnet look, but it really works!

I know, it's hard for me to pay more than $5 a yard for anything!

Wow I'm so behind! I'll catch up tomorrow

I had no doubt she would love it! You should post pictures of her modeling it!
Your bags are really cute!

April, these look great!! I can't believe how busy you have been!

I love the fabric choice. Beautiful!

OOOOOHHHHH!!! She's soooooo adorable!!!! Look at those cute little toseies!!!!

 

[teresajoy]

Oh my, I'm in the final countdown now!!! We are out of the teens ladies!!! Lydia says we should start packing!

You became famous for your hand sewing! Such a beautiful job you did!

And why have I never seen this before?? You need to post pictures more often! I know you make WAY more then you post!
