Very exciting news!!! My mom called to tell me they had just gotten off Its a Small World and headed to the upstairs super-secret bathroom at Columbia House. While in the bathroom a woman started talking to DD4 and asking her if her mommy made her skirt (she was wearing a Minnie patchwork twirl). DD4 said yes and then my mom got into the conversation. The woman asked if I was on the Dis boards and then asked about Disboutiquers. Well... it was AboveH2O. Isn't that cool!?! I love it! It is a Small World After All.



where is the super secret bathroom , exactly?

and im very interested in how you "float" a tshirt instead of hooping it

how do you get your ribbon on the fabric? i usually use other things for trims, but have wanted to use that type ribbon.also, do you ever wash the clothes you make with that type of ribbon, does it stay looking good?

First I measure and mark my dress dress and I might make a tiny tick mark for where I want the ribbon to go,
2. I put the ribbon down using wash away wonder tape to hold it in place,
3. I use an edge joining foot and sew a straight edge on both sides of the ribbon. When I get to the part where they join, I fold one end of the ribbon under and stitch across.
Yes, the dresses with ribbon are absolutely machine washable.

back- Im sorry the satin sash is crooked in the pics

That is just too sweet and perfect for a girly valentines dress.

thank you everyone for the opinions on one machine or two. I mentioned to DH wanting a seperate embroidery machine or upgrading to a newer machine and wanting a serger. he told me to order the PE-770 and the serger. So I did. I have to love that guy LOL.

Oh and the PE-770 will be here today.

BEst thing is they don't count towards the anniversary or Birthday present

Ok, I must have a picture when it arrives. Congrats to you and I am so happy you are getting both.

I just set up my old computerized sewing machine and have the Brother 4000D that I am only using to embroider now. It is working better, less time changing feet and set ups.

and im very interested in how you "float" a tshirt instead of hooping it

You use Sticky stabilizer and hoop it, then put the shirt on top of the sticky, press it down and follow up with a few pins. The shirt is not in the hoop but floated on top of it while stuck to the sticky. Clear as mud?

Ok, I will most likely get a few points for this one but I just have to put it out there. If you know anyone (3) or even a split 1 and then 2 others, who wants to go the Jimmy Buffett concert in Tampa on April 16, would you be so kind as to send them our way.

That seems safe enough to post.

Hey Nicole! That got there quick! And your dress is adorable!

When ruffling with the ruffler foot, make sure you put down the presser foot! It solves all kinds of problems.

I don't use the spray because it gets on the hoop. I have read to make sure you cover the hoop before spraying. I just use Sticky by solvy. I put it in the hoop then peel the paper back and it is pre sticky. Easy without worrying about spray.

Again, I did read about spraying and just make sure you cover the hoop. If you get any on the hoop, wash it off.

Good luck.

There is a separate board/forum for the Big Gives. You have to sign up and then one of the administrators will approve you within a day or two and then you will be able to log on and sign up for items.

If this link does not work I am quite sure you can click on the Big Give thing in Wendy's sig and it will take you right there:

Don't worry about being amateur -- I am too. It's very fulfilling though knowing you are helping someone in some way.

OMG! This is so heart wrenching. I cried! I'm praying for a good outcome. Prayer is powerful. Thank you for letting us know.

I found this Holly Hobby fabric and had to buy it, I loved Holly Hobby as a kid, I cut the squares and found this patchwork twirl tutorial that looked simple enough so I thought I would try it.

The tutorial was super easy and I love the skirt.



I can see more of these in our future it was just so easy and quick. Also thanks for the heads up on the floss method for gathering, it was great, I also realized I was cutting my fabric to short to do the gathers that would add to why it was so hard.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I made this to match the twirl patchwork skirts. It is a med bag. The dog won't take a picture of me with it on my shoulder and the cats are worthless. I only am making one as I have more clothes to make. Why do I always wait to the last minute?

That is SOOOO CUTE! It's so Minnie, I love the flower print fabric.

I might have to attempt a bag for our trip when I get a little better.

Such a cute skirt. It turned out great. Thanks for the link. Glad to hear that the floss method worked for you.

Don't worry, I have yet to teach any of my pets to use the camera, either. Too funny!

No, seriously, though, that bag turned out real cute. I think I need to break down and buy the pattern and make one for myself for the trip. It really is a cute bag! I love everyone that has been posted. How long did it take you to do it?
