Yes! but I'll take it over the horrible spring allergies I had when we lived in CA , would always get a sinus and ear infections from being so stuffed up...my stuffy nose now here in WA is just from having the heat on!

The family has got the package so I'm posting what I did for Kade's Big Give. I had a card written out for them and Alexa had drawn a picture for both boys and I packed up the box and mailed it without them. Oh well. This is the most fulfilling thing I've done for quite some time.

Connor was really jealous of the Buzz and Alien shirt so I will have to make him one some time. He told me I never make him anything anymore. Hmm, does he not remember the pirate outfit from last week!!!

I think I missed this on Big Give. They are GREAT!!

I do understand your dilemma with the comment of not doing this or that anymore...only ours is because DS is no longer an only and his DS is now 14 months old. Amazing how that age group forgets yesterday...

I'd go with maize...it is more golden like her dress in the parks. The banana seems a little too yellow...although if I didn't have a choice and it was all I had I would use it.

I am still working on getting a few things together for little warrior Ian.

I am just wondering how to do these beautiful appliques? I am guessing you need an embroidery machine, but it looks like there are also fabric pcs that are used. I am just amazed by what everyone here makes!!

I am pretty crafty, I've done a few things for my daughter and son, but you are all AMAZING!!!

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

anyone know what happened to "Beadiful Kids Boutique" on etsy???- Nevermind, found her on facebook- she's closing cause she's moving.

 

[RubberDuckyRanch]

Anyone else having problems on YCMT? it isn't letting me put anything in my cart.

 

[camac517]

You can use iron on's on the nylon backpacks. In fact tonight at my daughter's cheer gym they were blinging & decal-ing a bunch of them using a commercial heat press.

Are you serious? Everything I have read so far said that in order for the iron on transfer to stick the iron would be too hot and melt to nylon. Maybe I should just try it....

 

[PurpleEars]

You guys are gonna get tired of me, since I finally figured out the pic thing.
This is a tink simply sweet that I made for my daughters third bday and for a trip to disney on ice.

This one is for my niece to wear to the show. I made them both shorter than a dress so I still need to finish a pair of ruffled jeans for both of them
thanks for looking

They are both very beautiful!

My son goes to a Special Pre-school for kids with Autism and PDD-NOS (which is what DS has) for March. They have March Madness where they do all kinds of little things for the kids.

today is National Pig Day and they were supposed to wear something pink. Well I can tell you DS has nothing pink (DH would freak) so I made J a Hamm shirt last night.

Here are some pictures of him. He was not being very cooperative this morning

Good thinking with the pink. Glad to hear the teachers liked the shirt too.

Purple Ears - Love the aprons and jewelry bags for Big Give. Love the unique ideas.

Thanks. I enjoy doing something a little bit different once in a while!

Just got back from picking up my new baby!!!! And this one doesn't need diaper changing!!! Its my new Viking Designer Ruby. I am so excited to try it out and thought I would start with a Dr. Seuss Applique but can't seem to find one to purchase?

Any suggestions???? Thanks!

Congrats on your new machine! Can't wait to see what you make with it!

Thanks everyone for your prayers for my Matt!! He was actually discharged this afternoon! Billy went up and saw him this morning and they thought that Matt was possibly going to have to have surgery to drain his hand (ICK) but, by lunch time, the swelling had gone down enough that he was able to finally eat so we ate our lunches together - lol. He was impressed with the touch screen ordering system and was having fun throughout the afternoon - lol. So, he does have cellulitis and some blood tests about the bacteria in his hand are still out. But, they decided that the redness was really going away, so they thought he was on the mend and were comfortable with discharging him around 4pm today. Our hospital is so overcrowded with kids with the flu right now that we need every bed and, they really dont like to keep kids who are healthy in the hospital if they can help it!! So our pancake plan got cancelled.

But, Billy had a GREAT day with the kids - lol. They watched Disney Jr together for Handy Manny and Chugginton and Babar. Then they had a nerf war in our basement which evidently went on for about 2 hours!! Then they had lunch and of course everyone wanted something different, but he made it for them. Then they played with a remote controlled airhog helicopter, then they went to the playground, played hide and seek in our basement and first floor, sent their brother ecards to the hospital, had a snack and took Zoey for a walk!! Im guessing Billy is going to bed early tonight!!!! BUt you know what - he really had a good time. He really hasnt watched the kids on his own for that long before- an hour here or there, but never all 3 for all day!!! He loved it, and felt very loved - My big Teddy bear!

Sorry to be long winded!! Im just so happy that Matt is home!! Thank you for your prayers!!!!

Thanks for the update Wendy. Glad to hear that Matt is doing better!

Hello DIS'ers!! Everything looks so great! I need to catch up. I am looking forward to seeing the Dr. Seuss inspired sets for his birthday tomorrow! I made my DD a skirt, i'll get a pic of her wearing it tomorrow and share it.

We are heading to DL in 8 days for my DD 7th Birthday! Here's an outfit I made for her to wear As you might notice...one of the peace "mickey ears" I did backwards! lol I might have shared the shoes before...I can't remember.

Good job on the park outfit and the Easter clothing!

I love all the work that is being displayed here. I am currently saving for my first sewing machine. I am going to go with a Brother, something reasonably priced but new. I had a hankering a few weeks ago to learn how to sew. I remember seeing DISBoutiquers in a few signatures. So here I am looking for a few new friends.

I have a little girl she's 6 and she would love some of the dresses I have seen on here. That's her absolute favorite thing to wear....dresses, dresses, dresses. Oh and Bags she loves bags....but I know I have to start small first.

I can barley sew on a button....should I learn to hand sew before using a machine?

I just want to say welcome! By the way, sewing machines can even put your buttons on for you as long as they don't have shanks. I use my machine for buttons all the time. I only hand sew if it is absolutely necessary (like slip stitch something close) - I used to do cross stitching but haven't been able to do so due to carpal tunnel.

My oldest DD30 loves playing Scrabble. I found this fabric the other
day and just had to make her something with it. I decided to make the
Avilio Messenger bag. She loved it.

...I liked the pattern so much, I made one for myself too.

Both of those bags look great!

Off Topic-
It looks like I may be able to get a new vehicle. I think I want a minivan- something I know ZIP about.
My husband is looking at the hyundia elantra- and the dealership has multiple properties under one ownership, so we might get a better deal getting both at once.

The salesman said he felt the Kia Sonoma was the best minivan out there...
Do any of you have exeperience with this one?
I would like to try and find something used, with low mileage if possible.

THanks!
PS- I am almost done with my Cat In the Hat dress- I just need to sew 3 buttons on the front- I dislike sewing buttons- even decorative ones....so I keep putting it off!

I liked the Mazda 7 (?) when I was riding in the back seat. I think my in-law's had it as a rental when they visited us.

so i see loads of you loving your sergers. so i dig out my moms ( which was her moms) that she doesnt use. it is a simplicity serger from 1987. it took about 45 mintues to thread it last night, and then, the very last hole of the very last spool on the very last needle, i simply could not get the thread in the hole, with or without the tweezers that came with the machine. then i figured, i am not the type to spend 45 mintues threading something when i need it. so are newer sergers much better and do you all have infinite patience? tia

I just practised a few times so I can do it pretty quickly now.

I stayed up really late last night finishing these for "Read Across America" day. It was really hard for me to cut into this Dr. Seuss fabric! I've been hoarding it for months!

Great outfits!

My love (oh Okay obsession) with ric rak can only be matched by my new love Michael Miller ironwork.

Look what Auntie Darla did:

When we went to Aunties house for Olivia to try on the dress Sierra asks Darla if her dress is also a vida.

Darla and I quickly had had this non-verbal conversation.
Darla looks at me as if to say "oh no you did not ask me to sew her anything."
I looked at Darla with an expression on my face of "what the heck she is 9 I did not think she would want a Dr.Seuss outfit."

Darla eyed the fabric scraps and I could hear her whispering "22 plus 12 with elastic."

Without missing a beat she looked at Sierra and said "No honey yours is a skirt."

Here is the last minute I did not realize I was making it skirt:

I like Auntie Darla's quick thinking!

This fabric with like suede on one side and fleece on the other was on sale last week at my local store, so I had to try a little jacket with it.

One of the girls at work bought it for her granddaughter, and the little girl wouldn't take it off last night. Its still too cold for this jacket here, but I'm hoping spring will come soon.

(looks really wonky in this photo, I should really line thing up nicely before snapping a pic)

It is a beautiful jacket. I really like all your creations though.

Okay, I have to run out the door to pick up our next foster puppy...
BUT I've been shamed into sewing on the 3 buttons and calling this done! Since apparently today was Dr Suess day or something (guess her school doesnt do anything with that I had no idea, just made this for fun)

Another cute Suess outfit!! Amazing!

Okay. Let me start off by saying that I am not a sewer but I REALLY want to learn so I keep stalking you guys in this thread lol! For right now I just have a question. I am on the hunt for a bag that I can put an iron on transfer image on. I want one of those cinch style backpacks (know what I am talking about?) but I can only find them in nylon which you cannot use with iron ons. Anyone know of a pattern to make a bag like this? Would it be fairly simple?

I think a simple drawstring bag should do it? They are very easy to make!

Here are my Seuss loving girls! I wasn't there this morning to do hair & take pictures before school so I had to wait until after school.

Wow, these outfits are great too.

hey everyone. Just wanted to show my daughters stuff off. My sister made it for her. So not me. But it is what she wanted.

This is her Minnie tunic. You can't see her leggings but they have bling on them. She is so ready to go.

Promised I would share.

I really like the outfits. Have a great trip!

That's an amazing Give! Thank you so much for doing them for the family - I am sure they really appreciate them.

It came out a bit bigger, and longer- but nothing a pettiskirt can't fix LOL
she loves it (yeah!)

Adorable! Fun colors.

You are brilliant! I found an easy one using a pillowcase right off the bat! Once I try to make I will post a pic (if it isn't too embarrassing!) Thanks!

Welcome! I'm glad you got help with the backpacks (I'd be too scared to do nylon as well). I just had to comment on those two cute young men in your avatar -- what sweeties!

Here are my Seuss loving girls! I wasn't there this morning to do hair & take pictures before school so I had to wait until after school.

I LOVE these -- I was playing around with squares of fabric deciding what to buy last night in hopes of doing something like this. Never mind that the night got away from me and I never completed my order! That fabric had better go on sale again b/f next March!

hey everyone. Just wanted to show my daughters stuff off. My sister made it for her. So not me. But it is what she wanted.

that is her Miami mouse clothes, Lizabeth had to have something as well. Hubby and I have a shirt as well.

that is the one that she picked up to look close to Tink.

This is her Minnie tunic. You can't see her leggings but they have bling on them. She is so ready to go.

Great wardrobe! And what a beautiful smile your dd has

Awesome job! And here you were worried about having time so I suggested to just make one or two things and then you dive right in and take care of the entire family! If it's any condolence, I forgot to put the suckers and Phineas and Ferb fruit snacks in my package

HELP ME CHOOSE-
If I were going to do a cotton version of Belle (just inspired by Ellen's facebook)
I want to use Fairy Frost fabric-
there are 2 fairy frost yellows I could choose from-
This is Maize from fabric.com
http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=e2cf1428-3a77-49e8-bbcc-0fd2d29dae51
Or Banana from maryjos.com
http://maryjos.com/fabrics/quilting-fairy-frost-banana-2412

which one??

I saw you got a vote for the maize, but I happen to like the banana just because it seems brighter. Just a personal preference -- I didn't compare either swatch to a photo of Belle. You may want to try that to see which compares the best. I have a feeling the maize might, but I just really like the banana.

 

[DMGeurts]

I just wanted to hop on and say that I love all the Dr. Seuss outfits - they are adorable!!!!

It seems that I only have time to multi-quote once every few days... So, I just want to add that I love everything else! You all are so talented!

Anyone else having problems on YCMT? it isn't letting me put anything in my cart.

What browser are you using? Google chrome didn't work for me but when I used aol it was ok. I complained but they said it was my fault?

 

[NiniMorris]

I HAVE to step away from the computer...Michael Miller Fabrics are on sale for 15% off at Fabric.com, AND YCMT is having a 15% off sale.....

I have a million projects waiting to even get to the planning stages... Several dresses already cut out and waiting for me to finish, clothes for a Disney trip to plan for EIGHT people!!!! Embroidery designs bought for THREE quilts I am planning, a new round of sewing classes to plan for ... so WHY am I still here sitting on the computer?


Hubby wasn't much of a help. I complained the other night about the hoop on my machine...and he FORCED me to bid on a set of new hoops on Ebay....they should be here early next week!


Stepping away from the computer...now...

I know that feeling. I cut out 4 dresses and 2 shirts yesterday. I have orders on Etsy for 4 shirts but I still sat down last night and ordered some of the Seuss fabric that was on sale. What am I doing????

I do wish that my husband would force me to buy new hoops! LOL!!!!

Love them! They will be so excited!

I would shir before attaching. I would use the pattern for the halter back but make sure there is enough length to hem the top of it, only one layer I think, hem the top and then shir down to about an inch or so from the bottom. Then attach to the front bodice by opening out the front from the lining, line the back up with the front right sides together, then sandwich between the lining layer and the front and stitch, so that the seam is inside. Then if the back is longer than the front, trim it. That way you don't end up to short after shirring.

Hope some of that made sense.

Thanks for this! I have been wondering myself!
