Which Babylock exactly, and I'll hold my breath but how much???????????

 

[jeniamt]

Send me a message on FB and I can send it to you. I just google images and print it out from there and trace it.

That is what I do too but haven't come across that picture yet!. I will go see you on FB! Thanks!!!

Which Babylock exactly, and I'll hold my breath but how much???????????

This is the one I have.

I paid $1600 for mine but that included the Gold Standard Warranty:
http://babylock.com/accessories/gold-standard/?Product_ID=GS

It was worth every penney!!!! I use it on almost everything I make. It's a real work horse. I love that I can ruffle and attach to the garment all in one step!!! That is the feature that sold me when I bought it. With girls to sew for it really saves time. All you have to do is buy the special foot for it.

Which digitizing program are you using? That looks ADORABLE!

 

[MommyBell08]

Now that Chelsea from the big give has received the dresses I can post them here! She looks SOOO cute in them! I love it!
Daisy: They're going to Tusker so I wanted to make this! I had these great fabrics from when I made my neighbors baby bedding (so cute too - need to post pics) and I digitized a daisy to go along!
Can't find a full front pic.

And the pink Cindy dress - she looks just like a princess in this one!

Thanks for looking! Jessica

Really cute! Great Job!

Well the headache and the throw up stopped and now I am just sore. Glad we know what happens from previous hits to my already TBI. Today is better.

Oh my goodness...vomiting after a head injury is quite serious. It's indicative of a concussion. Are you sure you shouldn't get checked out (especially since you blacked out?) Thinking of you...

Hi Everyone!!

Okay - Billy wants me to get a self threading surger if there is one out there - any ideas? My Singer from Walmart just hasnt been the same since its major injury this fall...I was trying to serge the ruffle to jeans and kaflooey something happens and it gets all unthreaded and wacky????

Here is the outfit I made for Mallory's Big Give it will coordinat with Callie's necklace and a tutu that is being made!!!

I have to admit - I watched a Christmas movie while I was watching it!!! lol - Mallory has gotten me in the mood (although it isnt to hard for me - Im BAD - my tree is still up!!!)

Oh my...I LOVE it! I've been following Mallory's PTR and I love the Rudolph tie-in! I think I'm going to actually try to tackle ruffle-bottom jeans tonight. Yikes!

WOW. Just...wow. LOVE that pink Cinderella dress (My DD would love that...she's absolutely obsessed with 'Rella'.) Well done! I need to learn how to do those pick-up pleats!

Thanks to all for recommending spots to check out toddler t-shirts. I checked WalMart yesterday, but since we are in the midst of winter, they don't have any short sleeves available (and the ones they did have had screen-prints all over them.) I'm planning on checking Old Navy this week...we're about to get more snow (on top of the 30+ inches we already have) tonight and again on Friday. Will it ever end??

Also - this may be a bit OT, but I'm also hip-deep in planning my DS5's March birthday party. It's a surf's up-themed party (indoor pool.) I really wanted to make custom flipflops for all of the kids but, again, being mid-winter, I can't find any flipflops around here. Does anyone know of any sources for plain rubber old navy-type flipflops? I remember Old Navy had them on sale for $1 at some point last year but I have no idea if/when that sale will happen this year. Any help you could provide would be totally appreciated!

My 770 arrived today. So while everyone else was out getting milk and bread in anticipation of tomorrow's snow, I went to Staples and bought a USB flash drive so I can get some of Heather's designs.

And . . . .

Two days ago I got email from Disney offering a resort upgrade for my trip in 20 days. At first I wasn't interested because I'm planning to stay at Port Orleans Riverside for the first time. I was looking forward to trying POR (it would be my fifth different resort in five years) and I figured there must be a sales pitch for DVC.

I read through some posts on the Resorts thread and a bunch of people have gotten the same offer and there don't appear to be strings -- so I upgraded to Old Key West. I had my choice of OKW or Saratoga Springs, but I live 15 miles from Saratoga Springs NY so that didn't appeal to me.

Now . . .

Gotta figure out something to make for Khelsea's Big Give.

 

[miprender]

I Well, Im a little sad today - it would have been my Dad's 74th birthday today! It was always fun because he was 10 years older than my mom and she is 20 years older than me and all of our birthdays ended in the same number - he would turn the corner for us first. He graduated to heaven right after Billy and I were married. With being an only child, my parents and I were very very close. Thankfully God took care of my mom and gave us Bob (who is doing very well by the way) so she wouldnt have to be alone at such a young age (she was only a few years older than me when he died). But anyways, Im missin him today!! But, today is the day we celebrate Zoey's birthday - we are guessing she is 13 yo (not sure of her real age since she was a rescued doggie). Got her some new pupperoni treats and some Dingo bones - lol!! And she is sporting her Heathersue cupcake fleece today!! lol!!! THanks for listening, sorry for the ramble!! lol

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and compliments on the Mickey tie shirt (as welll as your kind words about the books!) I did them all by hand...Photoshop is my BFF! I had them printed through Artscow, Shutterfly, and Picaboo.

I
So - I found a few 'ringer' tshirts at Walgreens for $1 and just couldn't resist buying a few. I whipped up a new project last night while watching football:

that is really cute

Well day one sets are done I already posted EE's squirt but this is for the three boys. My oldest has talked about she wants Bubbles now so we will see. All of the characters I choose I try and make them characters that fit thier personality. Course Bubbles does fit her lol.
Pearl for Noah because he is contantly giving the play by play lol.

And all
TFL

I have a Noah too All the shirts came out great.

Thanks for the info. I will have to check it out too.

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

Hope your class when went well.

Ooh I was looking at that one, too!

I have that same brother serger too but unfortunetly it is still in the box. I still haven't taken it out.

If you are looking for a pillow case dress I have two free tutorials bookmarked:

So your pros are- the pool slide is fantastic, but there's no food court and the resort is HUGE. You will find you can not walk from your room to the "main building" Conch Flats/Main Pool/etc. There is no room service, but you can get pizza delivery that comes from POFQ. The rooms are the largest on Disney property anywhere and the views are of serene golf course and just so relaxing. When you check in, if you can't be near the main building, ask to be near a bus stop. If you have stayed at CBR, it's bigger than that. Oh, and I can't remember the name of the table service restaurant, but I can tell you the food is great! A well hidden secret.
Oh and if you have little ones, I really love their kiddie pool- it's small and at an easy level for 1,2,3yr olds. You can rent DVDs and all sorts of games near the pool- We loves this-especially on a rainy day when we had a couple movies on hand.
This is my home resort, if you have any questions please feel free to PM me. Oh, and as a non-DVC person you get the perk of daily housekeeping (DVC do not)
Have an awesome time!

My dear...those are all the signs of a head injury, and are much more significant if you've had one before....get yourself to your neurologist, or at least your primary care doc.

I could've written this myself...well, except for the clean house part...and taught myself a year and a half ago, and am now an avid sewer. Don't assume you can't do it, just go for it.

Hey thanks friends for the words of concern regarding my bump on the head.

I feel so much better today, just tired and little headache. I had a very busy day and got so much done.

I really do appreciate the concern.

My beginners sewing class went great. In fact it started at 10 this morning and just finished up a few minutes ago...sort of!

I had two students. One was my oldest daughter...and the other was her best friend and 2 of her 3 kids. (one of which is my youngest daughter's best friend)

We had a blast! The best friend had never seen a sewing machine at work so it was all brand new to her. She brought a packaged apron kit from WalMart. We got it almost completed before our 3 hours had passed! The younger girls made fleece blankets for Haiti.

My daughter raided some of my fabric stash and decided to make an outfit for a little girl at church who is having her second birthday later this week. She made an A line top with a pair of easy fit pants. She had to make a quick shopping trip to get some buttons, so it ran a little long....

My daughter is a great photographer and loves to blog...so once she blogs about her 'epiphany' I'll post a link to it. It was hilarious!

I can hardly wait for the next class next Monday. Of course, since the kids will all be in school, it should be a bit quieter!

Jessica, you are so kind to do the gives. I know the family really just is so grateful for your hard work. The outfits are amazing as always.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and compliments on the Mickey tie shirt (as welll as your kind words about the books!) I did them all by hand...Photoshop is my BFF! I had them printed through Artscow, Shutterfly, and Picaboo.

I really wish they had plain white shirts in DD1's size (24 months.) I searched everywhere and all I could find in her size were onesies. Can anyone suggest a place?

Welcome and I am glad you have joined us. It is so addicting and fun all in the same breath. I like PS5 and use it a lot for iron on's. I get shirts from Jiffy shirts. Love it all!

Well day one sets are done I already posted EE's squirt but this is for the three boys. My oldest has talked about she wants Bubbles now so we will see. All of the characters I choose I try and make them characters that fit thier personality. Course Bubbles does fit her lol.

Brucie for Jackson he is our brute of the bunch

Nemo for Tyler he was on ekmo for a while as an infant and lost part of his thumb we call it his little fin

Pearl for Noah because he is contantly giving the play by play lol.

And all

Wow, can you bottle your mojo and send it out our way. You have been sew busy and I love the bright colours. The boys are adorable.

Hi Leslie (or anyone else that might know)~

First, the outfit is adorable. My daughter now wants me to make her one with Minnie on it I have been searching for the pattern all day, and it seems the only place I can find it is in Australia? Do you know if it is a new pattern or should I just go ahead and get it from there? I am not really sure about shipping from Australia.

Thanks for any help!

Hi!! I think the falda is a newer pattern. It is in German , and there aren't any english instructions or tutes out yet and the only place I was able to find it was probably the same Australian seller I wound up ordering directly from Farbenmix instead, cost was a little less than it would have been from Australia. It cost be about the same as some farbenmix patterns on or etsy. It took just under a week to get to me from Germany too, it would have taken twice as long coming from Australia!!
