Thanks again everyone for the sweet comments on the Minnie safari dress.
Taking a break from ruffles for a few days. That is 2 feliz's and 2 vidas with butt ruffles all in a row. I absolutely love the ruffles on those 2 patterns though.

Makes sense! Thanks! I hope mine will be done to post tonight.

Good...I am glad I made sense (because usually I don't)
I can't wait to see your dress.

Finally found the perfect pattern and got brave and decided to cut my princess toile. This was my first ever pattern that was not a CarlaC pattern so I am pretty proud of myself that I made it through it! I did make some mistakes but I was able to fix them at least

From the front. I had bought a custom a little bit ago and she sent me some extras. These bows were some of the extras even have castles and crowns on them they are perfect I was so excited.

I love, love, love this dress. That toile has always been a favorite of mine and it looks sooooo pretty on this little EE of yours! BTW....congrats on the photo shoot deal. Can't wait to see the pictures!

This is absolutely gorgeous, just like everything else you have been making lately. Those are some lucky kiddos! I love looking at your pictures, but it gives me mixed emotions. I am a beginner sewer as well. You make me feel like I should just try it, because even a beginner can do it, but at the same time, I am nervous that my attempts won't be anywhere near as good as your creations.


I have been washing yards and yards of fabric for our trip. I had promised myself that I would have the outfits planned by the end of January. Ha - that didn't happen. I got really sick and had to have 2 emergency surgeries. Then, recovery with a 10 week old was not very easy. Luckily, the older 2 helped a lot, and my parents were here to help, too. I really need to get crackin' on my planning. The time is flying by. I booked airfare a few days ago, so now it feels "real".

Sorry about your surgeries. That couldn't be easy with a 10 week old
I hope you are doing better. Good luck with your sewing projects but hey...if they don't get done, you will still have a great time!

Wendy - that is too cute! No superbowl party here. Our church is having a huge party but we are not football fans by any stretch so we will probably just stay home.

I bought the Rosetta pattern but haven't made it yet. My DD's both want one...just trying to find time to squeeze it in. Can't wait to see yours and hear how you liked the pattern.

I was thinking P&F maybe meant Phineus & Ferb?

That makes sense!! It's not hard to find Princess and Frog. I haven't seen Phineus and Ferb.

Sooo pretty. I go back and forth about this pattern. It does really look nice! I just wonder if I could modify the simply sweet halter to do this.

 

[rtruba]

Can someone repost the pic of the Disney inspired Carla C ruffled bag?

 

[haleyknits]

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!

Granna, what a beautiful dress!

Ms Mckenna you did an amazing job! I adore the fabric and the dress. The girl is pretty cute too

 

[haleyknits]

Here are the dresses I have made for dd this week. I am a novice at sewing and my machine has a problem, but I persevered!

she thought she was SO funny lol

I had leftover fabric so I made this one too. She wouldn't take the leggings off

Just do it! We all start somewhere and it is so much fun.

I have a couple of questions about my Brother 770. I have been playing around with it and I seem to have accidentally deleted the color listing. This is for all of the patterns, even the ones I put on my USB port. So I have no idea what colors I am supposed to use when. Does that make sense? They were listed when I first got the machine. Has anyone else had this happen?

Also, is there a way to stitch out an entire phrase? I'm sure there is but I haven't figured it out. I can just do one line at a time and I know I will get the spacing all wrong if I keep doing it this way.

I hope all of this was clear. It's early and I havent' had any coffee!

My 25 year old son was home a few weeks ago and dug out Super Nintendo and was playng Super Mario. He would have LOVED that outfit as a kid. I love it now, nice job!

No Super Bowl party here. I have reservations for Rose & Crown at 5:35 on Sunday. First time there.

oK - so I got my jumbo hoop and I have no idea how to use it?????? Anyone???????

I have the jumbo hoop, too, but I'm waiting for the basement to warm up before I play with it. Come on spring!!!

I love Minnie dots, any way shape or form. Your dresses are perfect. Congratulatioons for persevering. It's so easy to give up when sewing's not going right.

Love this!

Both of these are great!

Wish I had more time right now because there have been so many great things posted lately and I want to comment on them all. But I have to get my kiddos off to school.

 

[aboveH20]

Ok, I have to confess I was on the phone when I typed that up last night, so I probably wasn't as clear I should have been. You can just make one pattern piece (probably by doing just the outline stitch on a scrap piece of material), flip it upside down, and trace the outline on a piece of paper. Use that piece of paper as your template for the fusible web. Fuse the web (with the paper backing still on!) to the Mickey head fabric, cut the pieces out. I then let my machine do the outline, take the hoop off the machine (but leaving the material in the hoop - otherwise I will never get them back in the same spot!), line up the applique piece, and fuse the applique to the material in the hoop (that's why I use a travel iron - my iron fits perfectly into my 4x4 hoop). After that, I put the hoop back onto the machine and let it do the satin stitch. With this method, I don't need to worry about trimming the material close to the tack down stitch. I have to say I didn't realize the more common method until I started reading here.

I don't know why this quote didn't appear with the others. Anyway. . . thanks for the reply. It seems like there may be two schools of thought on machine applique - and it sure seems a LOT easier to me to make a template versus stitching and trimming. From the very limited stuff I've done since getting my machine, I can see how trimming takes a lot of skill and patience.

 

[ncmomof2]

Here is my first Vida. I enjoyed working with trim, since I never have used it before. I think I will getting more for our next Disney trip! Our church has Tailgate Sunday every year and you are suppose to wear your favorite team. We are not into pro sports so we always wear our Aggie stuff (my husband and I are both Aggies). My girls never have anything to wear so I decided to make something this year. I still have to make a smaller version. Now I hope the snow goes away so she can wear it!

 

[Colleen27]

I love the way you did the straps on this!! Did you have a pattern for that or just adapt a basic jumper?

 

[tricia]

First up is a Valentine Portrait Peasant (with a few modifications). I decided to graduate dd to a size 6 (she's 7 y/o now) and it's sooooo big! Oh well, she can wear it next year too!

Awesome job. What a sweet mommy to make a great dress like that at the last minute.

Beautiful. And I had to read it twice to believe that it was hand appliqued. I just don't quite have the patience for all those little pieces.

Gorgeous. I just saw it on Facebook, but didn't comment there. The stuff you have made for this trip has been just awesome.

I finally finished Mario outfit for Valentines day! I hope he likes it and it fits - that little guy has been growing like a weed!!!!!

Super cute, Super Mario.

great dresses.

Great looking Vida. And if the snow does not go away, just put a long sleeve shirt and some leggings underneath.
