Second day was Epcot. I loved these dresses the most. I actually had a woman in the park beg me to take her email address so I could sew for her daughter. Hah!! Like 7 grandkids aren't enough for me!! (I also want to get involved in Big Gives this year)
that's a lot of ruffling.
I know I haven't posted here in like FOREVER, so some of you might not remember me! lol! Wow! Everything that I have seen posted is fantastic! I need to Dis more again!
That Minnie dress reminded me of one I just did. So teeny, tiny compared to what I usually sew for my ever growing princess.
DW surprised me with my very own embroidery machine for Christmas! I am like a kid with a new toy and have played with it almost every day! lol!
Pattern: Scientific Seamstress Precious dress. Scientific Seamstress easy fits for bloomers.
Applique Design: Frou Frou by HeatherSue.
Thanks for the reply. I just ordered the Famous 770 from Amazon and the website suggested add-ons, so I ordered four additional hoops including the repositionable hoop. My husband's out of town this week so I should have paid extra for expedited shipping so I could play while the cat's away, but I didn't so it won't arrive until next week.
Wow. It's hard for me to think that some day I may be a "granna" and might be making pink things or Barbie things or American Girl things. I love those dresses -- and the models
Thanks! Yes, I remember you and that dress! I am so glad that you are able to use it now!Too bad the fabric collection you see there is only part of what I have! I am a total fabricaholic and I am not afraid to admit it! lol!
Thanks for everyone's comments!
Here are a couple of more outfits that I have recently made. Total CASE from the original Mickey bandanna outfit that was posted here!
Now off to finish a Big Give outfit that I am working on now!
Not having an embroidery machine either, I am left with the same dilemma. For our cruise, I did our Fish Extenders using the Walt font appliqued on the pockets. Each letter is 1.25 inches tall and the name "Chris" from end to end is 5.25 inches. Would totally work on a shirt as long as you don't have super long names.
Ok, trying this again. Finally back to the thread after the trip to WDW the beginning of December with the 5 grandkids, followed by the holidays. I don't have very many good pictures yet; my daughter is the photographer and promised to send them "right away." But with 5 kids, I cut her a little slack
Our first day was Animal Kingdom. These pictures are mostly taken at the condo, since Orlando was experiencing RECORD LOW temperatures the week we were there!! After the first day at the park, we went to WalMart for thermal underwear and tights!!
Hi Everyone!
I was just remembering a year ago today was the tragic earthquake in Haiti. Hugs to all those who lost a loved one, I know they are greatly missed.
Also a reminder that we are going our blankets for the Haitian orphanage project and you can sign up over on the Big Give boards. All it takes is 1/2 yard of fleece, edged how ever you want. The orphanage will house 66 children at a time, and so far we have enough blankets signed up for to cover 1 round of children plus a bit more. If you have signed up, thanks so much - this means alot to our dear friend, and will mean alot to the children. If you haven't signed up - come on over!!!! Its a project that everyone can help with including your children!!! Its amazing what we can do if we all pull together!!
Love this outfit! Love the different colors too! We are like that at our house each girl has her fav color - pink, purple & blue too! I do't put names on them becasue of hand me downs, the one and only exception is Evangeline's Princess & thh frog dress.
My daughters name is Evangeline and since it is Ray's girlfriend it fits the dress anyway but it will not get passed on to anyone. That dress is hers & hers alone. I will end up making a dress for each girl - a feliz with whatever special designs they would like. I digitized these except for Louis the alligater - that was Heathersue's. I just added a couple music notes. to bring in the pink color to that side.
Otherwise I don't put their names on things. They do however wear a reminderband (rubber bracelet) that has Mommy's cell ***-***-**** imprinted on it that they know goes on before we leave NJ and comes off when we get home to NJ. just in case anyone gets lost.
Ok, that is just adorable. I love adult things and this is a clever idea. Super job.Went to a dinner last night where the theme was to wear an apron. I, of course, had to make mine and I made the same for my mom and SIL. Then I still had some fabric left over, so I made a chef hat for myself from the rest.
Ok, I am ready to purchase my Brother 770! I wanted to get some opinions though. On the web there is one for $679 and then a package for $898. The package includes the 15,000 designs grand slam CD, cap hoop and sock hoop. I'm pretty sure I would use the cap and sock hoop, but was really planning on purchasing individual designs on the interet. I had a Janome MC prior to this and that is what I did. I found that most of the package software had designs that I probably wouldn't use. I think I may be answering my own quesiton as I type this! Any opinions are GREATLY appreciated though. Also, any suggestions for additional accessories while I'm making the initial purchase?
I'm so excited to get this to finish the outfits for our upcoming trip and then to be able to do the Big Give!!!
Also, what about the PED basic software? Is it worth it? like I said, I used to have a Janome and have already purchased many designs in the .sew format. Is there a way that I could convert these .sew designs to .pes?
Thanks for any input!!!
