Have you all ever felt better just because you own it?? I wanted the rosetta bag pattern from Sis Boom for a while now, but just held off purchasing it. Well, this morning I finally gave up and bought it. I am not going to make it any time soon (that MASS cleaning of my craft room/fabric stash found about 10 unfinished projects) but I am just happy to own it.

This morning is church, then my daughters have their first basketball game to cheer for. Then, hopefully some sewing this afternoon.

I have that problem too! I won't be sewing for at least another month, and still have patterns already I haven't used...so I've been making myself NOT go to YCMT because I know I'll find a bunch of patterns I want!!

Ticker check

I fell today snowboarding, backwards and slide head first on my back down for a time period I don't know. It all got a bit lost. I am tired, feel sick but going to be fine. Let's hear it for having fun.

Are you okay?!?!?! Honey maybe you should be checked for a concussion?

Hi All

I just finished my Donald Duck t-shirt for the Big Give but not that it's off the hoop, I see hoop marks! Is there some way to get these off? Do I mist around the marks and then iron? Or would steam ironing take it off? I'm almost afraid to iron that I'll set in hoop marks! Please help!

I believe that is what others have done (sprayed and ironed) but wait for them to check in, I'm sure someone will let you know soon!

Well, I'm a bit worried, apprehensive, scared, confused and ...excited! Tomorrow morning I will be giving my very first official sewing lesson for beginners.

I have had so many people ask me for help in learning to sew, I decided this may be the niche I am looking for. (in a previous life I was a trainer at a large insurance company)

Since I have such a large sewing/quilting studio (complete with a overly well stocked toy room/game room next to it!) it really makes sense. I have room to have another 4 or 5 sewing machines hooked up...so I can also do a class on how to use your machine now that you've taken it out of the box!

My guinea pig class will be tomorrow morning at 9 am. I really hope it goes well...wish me luck!

Nini

Nini, you will be AWESOME! I SO wish I could be there (well except for the 9am stuff...I do NOT function in the morning!! hehe!)

 

[ItsArmaya]

It's really tough to get to 10 even semi-constructive posts in this thread when you can't even quote a picture!!!

 

[ItsArmaya]

Woot! Finally at ten! I'm trying this question again with a picture (Adi is awesome) so I don't get lost in the thread ...




Anyone have a serger recommendation? I'm just starting to think about picking one up.

LOL!!!Nine am is NOT early...try 5 am for early! That is when my youngest thinks it is time to get up...and we learned the HARD way not to let him up by himself...think garage full of paint and deep freezer...


Never a dull moment around our house!

Nini

PS...my serger is a singer. But I don't know that it is a particularly good one...hubby bought it for me for a birthday a year or so ago...

That's how the boys are. I cannot function (I won't go into the whole whiney list of why) before 9am...as in, that's when I can pull myself out of bed. I try to never schedule anything until 11 am because if it's before then I get so worried about making it up in time that I don't sleep the night before!

So what's the lesson tomorrow?

A few of us have the Brother 1034D its a good beginner serger at a great price and there are a ton of youtube tutorials if you need them. I bought mine at HSN.

Tomorrow's lesson is about how to thread an old, old, old machine! From what I have heard from the participants, they aren't even sure how to buy the thread...so I've picked some up for them. I can't find any model numbers on the machine, so I am having trouble finding a manual for it...It was her mom's...

OOOOOOO HSn is having free shipping and 4 payments on that one right now...wonder if I can convince hubby I need a new one...probably not...

Good luck, although I am sure you will do great. Sounds like a great fit for you!

I have a janome, I think it is a mylock 304d. Not sure if they still make it, but it was the cheapest one at the store. I think it works just fine. I later bought a singer coverstitch machine and have yet to ever try that feature. It's too much trouble to change the needles/thread every time you want to do a different stitch.

Now I use my janome for rolled hems and my singer for overcast stitching and never have to change the setup on either one. They both seem to work fine, but I know I don't use them to their fullest capabilities.

I haven't been posting anything too exciting because I have still been working on my yankees baby bedding set. I think I am mostly done, although I may make a fleece tie blanket as I still have enough yankees fleece left to do one, just need to pick up a coordinating solid color some time this week.


This one shows the quilt, the bumper pads, and a little pillow I made:

The diaper stacker:

And in this one you can see the crib skirt, set up on my dining room table since I don't have a crib to try any of this on:

Hi -
I am looking for a dress pattern for my DD. I don't have a picture, but here is my best explaination.... it is one type of material for the main body of the dress and then a matching type of material to trim the bottom of the dress. The dress has ribbon at the top of the dress that ties on each shoulder, and when you tie the ribbon at the shoulders - the neckline of the dress gathers together. I need the pattern in a size 8-10. I appreciate any help!!

 

[dbprimeaux]

This is my very first attempt of an Amelia Dress, I just love the vintage look Christmas fabric. Calliope loves it as well. I think the colours suit her complection. This dress is not for our Disney Holiday the fabric was on sale so it was perfect to practice with.

Now this is my second dress and this was done in a rush and after a 12 hour shift at work. I made this dress a little bit big so that it will still fit Calliope next year in December when we will be on the Dream Bahamian Cruise over Christmas. This fabric is stunning, it features Santa enjoying the summer at thebeach ,fishiing, swimming with dolphins, and playing golf.
This will be perfect for our Christmas cruise.

Sorry for the "double" post....but I found the dress I was talking about above...except it ties on both shoulders.

The style is called a pillowcase dress I think. You can probably find free tutorials, (Did you try the bookmarks at the beginning of this thread?) or you can probably purchase a pattern at youcanmakethis.com

It sounds like a pillowcase dress. There are a lot of tutorials on the internet - but there are also patterns for sale. Here is one that shows a good picture so at least if this is what you're looking for, you can find what you're looking for.

Teresa, I don't remember the Alice dress...Want to share? I haven't posted pictures of Audrey in ages have I? How about I promise to post a picture of her in the notorious Tom twirl Snow White when we get back from our vacation. A "Modeled Tom" in early February!

It's been a long time!! I will be waiting for the picture when you get back!!

Is that a satin stitch you did around the Disney Letters?

And we were at Disney May 14-24 I think ??? Last year.

Vester

We left on the 15th, I think. So, we just passed you!

Maureen, here is the original Alice dress I did. I had fun looking at my little Alice to find these photos.

Teresa, I got the Brother PE770 embroidery machine. So far, I really love it!

Adorable!!! I just love this dress! Here it is on Lyddie.

Someday I'm going to write a trip report. Of course, some day I'm going to sew again, too!! But for now, I'll just be jealous of all your upcoming trips.

Fabulous outfits!!! The girls are so beautiful! What a lot of work and a lot of love!

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.

You guys are so cute!

Going in May 5 nights at BWV and 2 @ AKV- jambo House!

And we will get to see the Flower and Garden Show which is one of my favorite things to see at WDW!!!

LOVE THE ADULT APRONS! THEY ARE AWESOME!

I am rearranging my bedroom at the moment- better get back to it!

We are seriously considering cancelling our May trip. I love the Flower and Garden Show too (and Davy Jones....) Have a great time!

[/IMG]

I am in LOVE with the skirt!!! Absolutely beautiful!

As a faithful reader of page 1 I can tell you that there are over a zillion apron patterns on teresa's wist link. I love the ones you made and expecially the matching chef's hat.

Hi all!

My name is Denise and about a million years ago I used to post here. It was under a different user name that I have no clear memory of or the password so I made another. Life got a little crazy and sewing got put on the back burner for a while. I moved twice and I still don't have my sewing stuff unpacked, but my goal is to get it out tonight so that tomorrow I can sew sew sew!

I was wondering if any of you knew where I could find a printable 40% off coupon for Joann. I can't find a current one anywhere in my house and I have plans to make Drew and her 6 AG dolls matching jammies for her birthday Sunday. I cannot afford to by 6 doll outfits! So this is some motivation for me!!!!

Thanks! And I have really enjoyed digging through all of the creations I've missed over the last million years!

You are going to have to post a bunch of pictures (if you haven't done that yet, I'm posting before I get all caught up!) so we remember who you are!

Ok I solomnly swear not to flood yall with pictures over the next few months but I am so happy about how this turned out!

I love how this looks!!! Wonderful job!

Well, I hope you are happy with yourself. Now, I have to completely steal this idea, and do it. One more thing for me to do. Lydia LOVED the Crush talk last time we went, she will LOVE this. I'm sorry, but I have to steal the entire idea. I hope you dont mind Add it to the ever piling up list of things to do haha!

Now if I could just figure out how to do Disney letters without having an embroidery machine!!!!!!

Vester

I have a Lydia too.

love the nemo twil dress.....and dd is cute too...sorry didn't quote!!!!


and I just wanna say that what you ladies do for 'the big give' is sooooo sweet....I'm practically in tears here in work as i'm reading this....it's all new to me as i'm semi new to the boards!!!!

hopefully i will be able to find some time and improve my skills so I can help you out....i would soooo do it!!

i am a very beginner sewer..if made a couple of quilts in the past but haven't done anything in a while......in fact I haven't used my machine since my kids were born 3 years ago.....but I picked up fabric for a tinkerbell twil skirt for DD and hopefully I'll remember how to thread my machine

if any of you guys have some super easy sewing patterns that i could make for 'the big give' i would certainly try to help you guys out.....I wonder if the bibs you were talking about would be easy IDK!!!!

We would love to have you join us!

The photos you posted were the pillowcase dress. I don't know if you saw it on here or not- but I did this one, which is like a pillowcase..

Is this it? I don't remember the pattern name, it's in a Kari Mecca pattern book, but IF this is it- I can look it up
