[VBAndrea]

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

I totally forgot to multiquote you this morning and had to go back and find your original post to quote.

First, how incredibly sweet of you to do something for Ian, especially on such short notice. You are one kind soul

Is that a bowling shirt without the placket? If it is, please share your secrets (I can be very patient and wait until you get back from your trip).

The shirt is AWESOME and you are going to make Ian one happy little camper!

 

[billwendy]

I missed the move - I REALLY need to get a moving buddy. . . anyone want to have me as one

Pick me!!!!!

Nicole - how CUTE is she!!!!!!!!!

Callie - loving the pics - your kids pose so nicely!!!

Okay, guys I need your help with Taylor's big give ASAP!!!! There are still many things that have not been shipped yet!!!!!!! I've attempted to contact the original people who posted they would make things but I havent heard from them (I did email and pm on the BG board). If you are friends with any of our buddies, would you mind reminding them its time to ship Taylor's gifts? You can just go over to the old board to see whats what - thanks for spreading the word!!!!!!!!

Also, did you see there is a new big give????????

I hate to complain, so let me call this explaining, not complaining. I've spent way too much time thinking about what I want to do for airplane busy bags for Kade and Jackson. It's good the deadline is soon so I'll just have to do it one way or the other.

For Jackson I'm trying to "kick up a notch" the idea of a car cozy. Short (well, actually kinda long) story, does anyone know the size of a standard airplane tray table? I'm trying to make a village mat with roads for the cars, and I know they tray tables are pretty tiny.

Like I said, I've spent way too much time visualizing sewing this into a zippered bag, and I may just end up with a basic car cozy.

Don't you hate it when your creative size doesn't quite mesh with your engineeering/sewing side?

PS I hope things settle down in Bahrain. That's where my submariner son was deployed to last time.

We leave on Friday ...SO excited. I've been busy this weekend playing around with the Portrait Peasant pattern (which currently is 15% off - yay!) Have a peek:

Love the portrait peasant shirts...especially the black/white/red one. And the socks are great!

For whoever asked....I made these for my DGDs 2 years ago and they wash and wear very nicely. We haven't had any problems with them coming apart or fading.

I love all the stuff that has been posted lately!

Here's my latest project. Connor is having a pirate-themed birthday so I totally CASED this outfit from T-ROX. I did ask her if it was ok beforehand, lol.

Good job and the pirate cupcakes are really cute too!

I have a quick question and I'm hoping that someone could help...

My BFF since childhood was diagnosed with breast cancer last Monday (we're only 35...so scary.) I am absolutely devastated, obviously, but she is an amazingly brave woman who is taking this all in stride.

Her oncologist is being extremely aggressive with treatment and is starting her on chemotherapy tomorrow. She was told she will lose all of her hair within 2 weeks. She has the most beautiful long brown curly hair...and just had it all chopped off this afternoon.

Anyway, I wanted to make her some headscarves for when her hair begins to fall out. Does anyone have a pattern they can recommend? I wanted to try to make some and send them before I leave on Friday.

Thanks a million, D'Boutiquers.

Sorry about your friend...just wanted to send her way!

Well, sewing has been slow here lately. We've been busy with Hockey and other things, but I did get a spring jacket sewn up for Tyler before our ski trip. It is the Silverlake pattern from the Sewing clothes Kids Love book, and he designed it himself.

Tricia - you always find the cutest patterns. It looks great!

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

This was so sweet of you to do for Ian. I know he will be thrilled! Be safe and have a great trip!

So cute! I love the Marie...I think it is great. I would just let Hannah wear it with a little tshirt or tank under it.

I have not gotten much worth posting done lately. I did figure out a very important thing there is a HUGE difference between Heat and Bond lite and the Heat and Bond they carry at my walmart! I have been using the heavy stuff and it gums up the needle. Tried the other the other day and WOW so much easier!
These are the little boys Crystal Palace shirts. I needed to take some pictures of them so I decided to pull these out and kill two birds with one stone

Tyler's Pooh

Jackson's Tigger.
We got home to late to get pictures of Noah maybe I will get to that tomorrow

These boys are just precious. You have a beautiful family. The shirts look great....beautiful job.

I have been working on a customer order. She requested "something gymnastics" so here is what I came up with. You can't really tell in the pictures but the gray has some sparkle in it.

Sorry, I don't really have any advice on the car cozy. I "think" that an airplane tray table would be like 8-10" x about 12" but that is totally a guess on my part.

Good thoughts and prayers for your son.

Tricia - you always find the cutest patterns. It looks great!

Thank you. I like trying new patterns and hardly ever make the same one multiple times. I now have a subscription to Ottobre, so many more new things to try.

Love the gymnastics Vida.

Just did a google search and most are about 16.5" x 9.5" but some apparently 16" x 9". I just did a very quick search so you may want to do a search yourself and see what you come up with.

My dh should get an IA his next tour and he was oing to try for Bahrain. Looks like there's no safe place to go now! Hopefully everything on the base stays safe and glad it was your son's last deployment and not his current one.

Love it! I think you will have a very happy customer on your hands

How bad do I want to finish the shirt for warrior Ian? Bad enough to take my machine apart to get it done.

Sewing with parts off but stitching out and nearly finished.

Is that a bowling shirt without the placket? If it is, please share your secrets (I can be very patient and wait until you get back from your trip).

The shirt is AWESOME and you are going to make Ian one happy little camper!

I also made Ian some Cars shirts and when I looked at them I put the buttons on the girls side I pray he doesn't notice and Mom won't care.

It is not the bowling shirt but my commercial pattern following the ideas of bowling shirt. I took a lot of pictures on my brother's shirt and plan to write a tutorial on how to make a commercial pattern into a bowling shirt.


For basics, sew the strips of fabric in, topstitch, and then cut out the commercial pattern. For the plackets, I cut the commercial pattern but then serge them in from the bottom of the shirt, wrong sides together. Then at the neckline I keep going across to the other placket. Turn the plackets outside, right side correct out, use pin to finish corners. Then press the serge area along to neckline down. Attach the collar using Carla's method. Easy. I promise when I get back I will put my tutorial together with photos.

you are very brave!!!!!

Be safe and have a great trip!

 

[mommy2mrb]

And I've seen your autograph books in person and they are great!

Ah, Thanks!!!!! they are fun to do....you all create with fabric, I use paper!

I heart my Bind it All for Autograph books.

got the autograph books done! took a little bit to figure out my new toy, but once I did went pretty quickly....the photos are over on the BigGive site!

aboveH2O- I hope your son stays safe and prayers sent yours and his way!
as for the trays- it depends on the airline- I know the Jetblue ones are pretty big- but southwest has smaller ones, I dont think they are standard.

I have half a aline cut out now in a lavender batik and trying to decide what to put on it- piglet or lumpy would be cute, but I already did one with the Pooh iron on applique and I have Pooh fabric to use too (if I get to it)
I have a figment cutie but got a response from my husband that he didn't know who it was, then I said who it was and he said it looked weird. Alrighty-then.
Maybe Dumbo!? Or the chipmunks...but they don't seem right for a under 2yr girl for some reason- but maybe I'm being strange...
I'm thinking Dumbo should work...

Dumbo would be cute. I also like Ariel or Tink on purple...

Oh, I would be so afraid to take mine apart, lol.

I've actually only made two. One I made when I wasn't posting for awhile on here and the other I made as a Christmas present -- I did post a pic of it sometime right around the holidays -- maybe not until January knowing me! It had daschunds on it as it was for an avid daschund lover. Maybe I will eventually get around to posting the one I made myself. I'd like to make more -- I love totes. It's just finding the time to do something for myself that is the problem!

Oh I do remember that one. It was very cute.

We leave on Friday SO excited. I've been busy this weekend playing around with the Portrait Peasant pattern (which currently is 15% off - yay!) Have a peek:

Have fun... and take lots of pics.

Everything looks great. I love those cupcakes too!

I have a quick question and I'm hoping that someone could help...

Anyway, I wanted to make her some headscarves for when her hair begins to fall out. Does anyone have a pattern they can recommend? I wanted to try to make some and send them before I leave on Friday.

Thanks a million, D'Boutiquers.

Sorry to hear about your friend.

And to all our survivors

You did a great job. Very cool

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

Great job.

Now that they have received them I can post my items for Taylor's Big Give. I made applique t-shirts for Mom and Dad.

For Taylor and Sami I made them each a zipper pouch and a bag called the Aivilo one hour hipster.

The hipsters were way too thick to sew through at the end, so if I had to do it over again I would not line both the inside and outside with fleece, but otherwise it is a cute and fairly quick pattern.

Ellen those came out great and your blue hipster matches my vida

I

Tyler's Pooh

Jackson's Tigger.
We got home to late to get pictures of Noah maybe I will get to that tomorrow

Too cute

Last night I read 2 patterns. I am going to make DD an a-line skirt and I am finally going to attempt making DS the Bowling shirt it actually looks pretty straight forward. I just need to find some fabric to do it with and also some lining fabric.

I finished my big Gives yesterday so I just need to take pictures and then re-wash the shirts tomorrow night.

Trying to find some things for DS to do he is upset about not going to school this week

I so want to try the bowling shirt but I am a little nervous. It looks a little over my head.

so here she is modeling it, I notice it being a bit oversized when she sits (which right now is alot)
We are not going until May 10, so she still has some time to grow- but you see how it's big in the shoulder area.

So cute and Maria came out great. I think we notice more of our imperfections than anyone else.

DH is very concerned about a winter storm that is suppose to blow through Utah/Wyoming on Thursday night. We are suppose to leave at 4 am Friday for Salt lake city, 4 hours away.

He informed me last night that we are now leaving tomorrow when he gets home from work.

Today just got very busy! I need to get to the bank, get luggage out of the garage, pack, clean up the house more and make sure I have everything we need.

This is the first time in about 5 years we are not at my DVC but DH has a conference at the Swan and his work paid for it. We are hoping we will like the Swan.

I need to call Mom and tell her we are leaving early and her dog/house sitter needs to be here early also. Busy busy day.

I have one more shirt for Ian to get done. I want to put Buzz on a black T-shirt. I also need to get the ribbon for my AK shirt.

Ok, I need to get busy.

I love the purse, the cute dress with the cat, the great boys jacket.....I am sure I have missed mentioning a few more things. I will try to get back on this afternoon and multiquote.

Have a safe trip

PS I hope things settle down in Bahrain. That's where my submariner son was deployed to last time.

Sending prayers that he stays safe

That is so cute.
