I got mine washed and ready to make yesterday (during the ice storm here in Houston). Now just waiting for my DGD6 to come over. She wants to help and I thought this was the perfect thing to do with her and I can explain where we are sending them and why.

Oh that is so sweet she wants to help...you are creating the next generation of compassion :goodvibes, tell her thank you from us and thanks to you too and here is a :hug: from us to you both !!!!!
 
Thanks for the info, and I really am not in the market for making stuff to sell much these days anyway. But if someone asks for my info I will be willing to give them my etsy id. So having it already written down will be handy, but I certainly won't be going around handing out business cards!

Here are a few pictures of the ruffled bag I made.
Here it is laying on the bed:

And hanging on the doorknob:

And with me holding it to get a perspective of how big it is, although this isn't a very good picture since I had to take it of myself, and the flash conveniently wiped out my face, lol:

I know this was done a while ago...but I love love it! did you use a pattern? I haven't sewn in months...and just might break out my sewing machines to make this for our trip next month!
 
Where is the best place to find the Red Minnie Polka Dot fabric???

(the one with the larger sized polka dots)

Thanks!

The best place I have found it is at Hancock. I just looked on-line though and didn't see it. It usually comes out when the halloween stuff comes out.

Ahh....she is precious. Any word on your tailgating party? Is it still on?

Thanks! It is on and we have our Sunday School Super Bowl party at our house as well. It ended up in the high 50's so all the ice melted. Yeah! I can't wait for them to wear them tomorrow.
 

Hi, I'm new!!

I've been looking through the pages and you all make some beautiful things. I especially love all the appliques.

I'm a fellow sewing mom but have had my machine packed up for about 6 months now. I'm hoping to dust it off and make a few things for the kids for our upcoming trip.
 
I've been on Disboards for a while but never post. I saw this thread today and fell in love. Umm.. will you have me? :worship:

Cute stuff!!!
:welcome:
Here is the smaller version:) I need to move the buttons for a tighter fit but I am pretty happy with them!

th_IMG_5300.jpg
Love it just as much as the first one! I hadn't noticed the sparkly trim. Love that! Your littles are so adorable!

Like I said earlier, I started doing applique "by hand" and that's how I learned to applique. I mostly do simple stuff like Mickey or Minnie heads, so I suppose that's why I haven't had any problems. I also digitize my own applique patterns so I make them work for me. My big test will be when I finish princess Minnie as it will be more complicated. I figured I can always go back to doing applique "by hand" or learn the "new to me" method if this doesn't work out!

Will continue to pray for your mom and your family :hug:
Ah okay.
Thanks for the prayers.
Thought I'd share our princess with her Countdown Chain we made last week! She cut's a link off every morning!

Very cute!

Thanks! I would like to see the Minnie dress you made.

I hope your mom gets some comfort and answers @ MD Anderson. I work just a few minutes from there.
Thanks.
I will try to remember to post a picture of it later. I had a hard drive failure and don't have anything on my computer right now!
 
Nini, that explains why I get along so well with you from the start!

I have 31, 15, and 7. The 7 year old was a total shock, my tubes were tied, or suppose to have been! But we love all our kids and wouldn't have it any other way.
I knew about the 15 year old and 7 year old, but you surprised me with the 31 year old! Is that a son or daughter?

I would like to know if any of you know of a easy to follow ebook tutorial, ( a while back Carla gave me a link but can't find it :flower3:) I do not know how to do e files and it will make it so much easier to send it thru the computer than to mail it. If anyone knows about an easy to follow tut please let me know
Linnette

Linnette, as usual, you have made some gorgeous dresses!!! And, the bag is cute too! I love the story about the doll!! :rotfl:

If you already have something ready and just want to turn it into a Ebook (from a Word document or something). I use a program called Primo PDF. When you go to print something, you chose PrimoPDF as your printer, then it prints whatever it is as a PDF file and saves it on your computer. Here is a link: http://www.primopdf.com/index.aspx It's free software.

I've been on Disboards for a while but never post. I saw this thread today and fell in love. Umm.. will you have me? :worship:

Cute stuff!!!

:welcome: !!!
Hello! Alicia from Facebook shared a link to this forum and to another one for participating in Big Gives. Everyone makes such adorable things!! I had to make myself stop going through the pages!! I was wasting too much time at the computer!

:welcome:

Shoot, I missed a few new people!! :welcome: to you too!!!


I would say TMTQ, but in truth, I'm just TTTQ (too tired to quote). I loved seeing everything posted the last few days!!!
 
Hello, It's been a while since I've been on this board! I miss it and miss sewing. I've been just way too busy and we moved 2 times last year (long story) and I don't have a space set up for my sewing as of right now! lol

But, we are headed to Disneyland (live in Cali) this March for our daughters 7th Birthday (1st day in the park is her B-Day), so I've been trying to come up with some more modern Disney Customs...since she seems to have outgrown the Customs that I love to make for her!

Here's a couple things I did today. As you can see I screwed up on one of the Mickey ears!!! Darn it, but oh well!




We are so excited to go to DL and we are staying @ the Disneyland Hotel for the first time ever!

We have reservations @ Ariel's Grotto for her Birthday lunch with the princesses - she didn't want a custom dress, so I bought a store brand Princess Belle Dress...it killed me, but hey it's her B-Day...right!?!? lol

Very cute! How can a seven year old have you buy a dress???!!!!??? We need to have a talk with that girl!

Where is the best place to find the Red Minnie Polka Dot fabric???

(the one with the larger sized polka dots)

Thanks!

I got mine at Joann's.

I have made several and never put batting in it. I usually sandwich a layer of flannel between the front and back no matter what I make it out of. I have used flannel, minky, plain cotton, etc for front and back.

Thanks. I already got flannel yesterday and cut it last night. Time to start sewing today. I think I might find these quilts to be addicting. I picked flannel b/c it's so soft but I bet minky would be great to. I have never sewn with it before but may keep that in mind for a rag quilt for my dd. She's a blanket lover -- well, we all are in this house!

Anita.....

I went back to Joann's today, and my store didn't have the fleece sale. I confused the heck out of them :lmao:

BUT.... they honored the price in the email (thank you iPhone) :yay:
Thank you!!!!
Someone working at your store forgot to put your sign up! I'm in VA and it was on sale here. Good to know that they honored your e-mail.

My Joanne's even gave me a remnant at the flannel sale price and then half off that -- so I got .75 yards of flannel for $0.94. However, my cutter had about .75 yards left of flannel on a bolt she was cutting for me and surely did not bother to offer me that at remnant price. And one time the same cutter (different date, different fabric) asked me if I wanted to get about .5 yards more b/c otherwise she would have to remnant it. I said sure b/c usually they half price that fraction -- no, she charged me full price! Just depends on your cutter.

Hi, I'm new!!

I've been looking through the pages and you all make some beautiful things. I especially love all the appliques.

I'm a fellow sewing mom but have had my machine packed up for about 6 months now. I'm hoping to dust it off and make a few things for the kids for our upcoming trip.

Welcome and do get that machine dusted off -- your children are at perfect ages to wear just about anything you want to make them!
 
So yesterday I decided to reorganize my basement and I moved the table where I have my sewing machine and made it easier to walk around so now all my crafts have their own section.

I figure if DH can have his sports memorabilia all over my first floor I can take my basement over with my scrapbooking supplies, art supplies and sewing. Not to mention my home business but I did decide to give DD a better space to work with her art stuff.

I still have more to do but I am going to sew at some point today. I have a lot to finish. But I need to get to Target for printer ink and some things.
 
Welcome to all of the new posters! I can't wait to see what you all create.

I spent most of yesterday making curtains for my sun room, 12 windows. I'll take a picture later and post. I am sooo excited to have them done, I have been looking for fabric to make curtains for this room since we bought the house 4 years ago!

LOL! Wish I HAD a basement! But down here in New Orleans....well, you know...
 
I was extremely excited yesterday when I had my first Etsy sale...until I realized that there are no orange size 2T tshirts anywhere in the area! After I pay the S&H to get one here by early this week...I have a whopping 3 dollar profit! Hmmmm, good thing I am still getting local business! LOL


Nini (whining almost over! LOL)
 
I know this was done a while ago...but I love love it! did you use a pattern? I haven't sewn in months...and just might break out my sewing machines to make this for our trip next month!

It is the Rosetta Ruffle bag by Sisboom and Carla C. Available on youcanmakethis.com

HTH
 
ENABLER ALERT!!!


In case you didn't see...There are three separate 15% off codes at YCMT.
Use SewClothing for 15% off items in the Clothing Creation category
Use SewHomeDecor for 15% off items in the Home Decor category
Use SewValentines for 15% off items in the Handbags category


Now...I was not a happy camper when WalMart stopped selling fabric by the yard. However, when they get a new shipment in, all the hanging 2 yard cuts of fabric gets marked down....so I just spent $25 and got 28 yards of fabric! A two yard cut of fabric is less than the cost of their fat quarters!

This is the third time I have been able to do this...but the problem is there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when it happens. Since there is no dedicated 'fabric' person, the computer decides when they need a new shipment and how much. (unfortunately, this new way of selling fabric is costing them money, so my local manager said they may be discontinuing the selling of fabric...)


Just in the sharing mood today!


Nini

My wal-fart never did sell the pre-cuts after getting rid of their fabric department :mad: I'm still bitter about the entire thing and refuse to shop there.

Thanks for the code!! Off to get the simply sweet princess:

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.

SOOOOOO CUTE!!!! You do such lovely work :worship:

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!

Very cute, I love the halter dress very clever to use your extra fabric:thumbsup2

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!

Cute dress and ADORABLE little girls you've got. I saw the smaller too, but didn't quote...such cuties!

So I have started the girls valentines outfits and I got one of the shirts done today. I still have to embelish jeans and make the bows. I will post pics of the finished outfits all together but for now here is the first shirt:

LOVE IT!! Where did you find the cutie designs?

Cute Valentine's Day shirt. I need to get working on my dd's skirt that I promised her.


Need expert opinions, please. When we go on our trip in September, my baby will be 10 1/2 months old. He's a big guy, so I'm sure he'll be in at least an 18 month. Now, do you suggest regular t-shirts or one-sies? I'm leaning towards regular t-shirts for a couple reasons. 1. If it's hot, I can pull up his t-shirt and put a cool washcloth on his tummy. 2. If he has a really messy diaper, we would just have to change his shorts, not his entire outfit. Since he'll match or coordinate with the older 2, I'd be upset if I had to change his whole outfit. What do you experts think?

I vote for t-shirts...onesies are a pain especially if he is prone to blow outs, ack!!

Question ???
Does anyone here make custom bedding sets? I am wanting to do EEs room in some plush fabrics. She won't keep a sleep cap on her head so I try to keep really soft fabrics in her bed. She has slept on a minky sheet since we got her at 3 months old. We are moving this summer though and moving her into a big girl bed (either a twin or a full). I am trying to decide if I want to buck up and buy one Etsy or give custom bedding a go. Would love any info anyone has.

I definitely think you have what it takes to try out bedding!! Most of it is just straight lines anyhow.

Japanese fabrics are usually really fine quality! I love them. I think alot of them are better or just as good as high end fabrics here. It is expensive because it is high quality. I have alot of it. It washes beautifully. They seem to all be made from the same company too. I got some from This and That Japan on etsy. Pretty much the only etsy shop selling them is him I think. He/she is really nice too!

Thanks!! gonna check it out :banana::banana::banana:

Way to get it done. I love to reorganize and find a better way to make things fit. Hope you have more room. I would love to see a picture.

Welcome to all of the new posters! I can't wait to see what you all create.

I spent most of yesterday making curtains for my sun room, 12 windows. I'll take a picture later and post. I am sooo excited to have them done, I have been looking for fabric to make curtains for this room since we bought the house 4 years ago!
Oh please post soon. Is it worth it to sew curtains? Did it take a long time, was it hard? A sun room, sounds lovely.

I was extremely excited yesterday when I had my first Etsy sale...until I realized that there are no orange size 2T tshirts anywhere in the area! After I pay the S&H to get one here by early this week...I have a whopping 3 dollar profit! Hmmmm, good thing I am still getting local business! LOL


Nini (whining almost over! LOL)
Ok, so you made $3 that is good and you had a sale! That is a big thing in my book.
 
I've been on Disboards for a while but never post. I saw this thread today and fell in love. Umm.. will you have me? :worship:

Cute stuff!!!
Welcome and to all the new members. I love this forum and the great ideas and help when it comes to sewing. Feel free to ask questions, it is a very friendly group.
 
Someone working at your store forgot to put your sign up! I'm in VA and it was on sale here. Good to know that they honored your e-mail.

I said sure b/c usually they half price that fraction -- no, she charged me full price! Just depends on your cutter.
oh, that would annoy me. I would realize the mistake after i got home too
I don't think they forgot the sign... We tried a couple of patterns and none were coming up on sale. We had to get the manager to override it. Both at the cutting counter and register.
I had them offer me the last .5 yard for the first time last week. I never had them do that before.
I do usually try to go to my Walmart though.... The one girl there must HATE cutting the fabric.... She does such a sloppy job... I always end up with a lot more than I asked for ;)
 
I can now post pics :yay:

So here are my very first projects, not perfect to say the least but DD loves them and that's all that matters.



Then I made this top to go with the skirt also.

 
LOVE IT!! Where did you find the cutie designs?

I bought them at Hancock. I do not have an embroidery machine and I would never be able to do something that small with such detail by hand with my machine. I also got a goofy. They had tigger, pooh and piglet as well but not enough of each so as both my girls could have em all. I will go back this week to see if they have more.
