[ellenbenny]

Ellenbenny do you mind if I ask where you fond the pattern for the backpacks?

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments on the backpacks!!

I really love how they came out, but I have to now admit to you all that Kris (Kylee's Mom) contacted me today and said that one of the straps came off where it was sewn in! And that was in the area that I modified how it was made, so my fault really. I feel so badly, I offered to fix them and reinforce the stitching on all 3 of them just in case, so she is sending them back. SO anyway I am not without my mistakes and problems!!

As far as the pattern, it is from here: http://www.made-by-rae.com/2009/03/finally-here-toddler-backpack-pattern.html

These are amazing Ellen!!!

I got the fabric yesterday, thank you!

Glad you got the fabric, will it work for what you needed?

Sorry to double post for those of you that have already seen this on FB, but I'm pretty happy with how Annabella's princess dress came out and I want to show it off...

The front (btw, it's so hard deciding which princesses to put on the front and which should go on the back!)

The back, I'm thinking a sash wasn't a good idea since it takes away from the princesses on the back.

See, poor Cindy gets completely covered up!

I didn't do the hem yet, since our trip is a ways off yet...I'm thinking of doing a cuffed hem with more of the teal floral fabric.

And here's a screen shot of Annabella's portrait session at JCP in her Valentine's dress, I can't wait to get these back! She was so good, it was hard to not buy every single picture!

I absolutely love the princess dress, and the v-day portrait is just precious!!

Would you mind sharing where you got the fabrics for the princess dress? I am planning to make coordinating dresses for 3 little girls for Lhea's big give, and those fabrics would be perfect for what I have in mind.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Jennifer but most of the time I go by Jenn although I actually answer to almost anything...just ask some of my co-workers--one calls me Julie and one used to call me Cheryl.. Someone (I won't mention any names, Wendy) encouraged me to come join your group. And now that I have more time to sew and create things, I can't wait to see what everyone is working on. I will post pictures soon of some more recent things but here is a pic of the quilted autograph hanging I did for my BFF who is also a fellow DISer.

This is an upclose of the stitching. I machine crazy-quilted mickey heads into the stitching.

Hope Everyone has a GREAT rest of the week!

Love the autograph quilt, that will have to go on my list of a million things I would like to do some day, but will probably never have time for.

This is what I have worked on this week. I made reversible super hero/princess capes. I did 2 of the Superman/Batman capes and 2 of the princess/Super Girl capes. One set is for my little niece and nephew for their birthdays next month. The other set is for a cousins 2 little ones who are coming in from out of town to visit tomorrow. After I was all done with both sets, my younger daughter informed me that I did the Superman design wrong and that it shouldn't be black. It should be blue. Oh well!!!!

I hope they all like them. In addition to these capes, I also sewed a ton of badges on my older daughter's Girl Scout vest, a chore which I hate! And I did 2 couple of appliqued t-shirts.

 

[heatherskiba]

I third about the princess appliques!!! I LOVE them!!!! Haven't seen them anywhere, and I swear I have looked at every site!

 

[Adi12982]

Thank you!

1. I have the Brother PE770 that so many on here have. I got mine off of HSN with the 4 payments. I have had really no problems at all. These designs are all 5x7. My daughter is only 2.5, so 5x7 still looks huge on her clothes.

2. These are all my designs. I actually made this because I needed to test out the designs anyway and didn't want to waste material/time.

Jessica

You did a great job! Will you be selling those??

Does the machine have bigger hoops??? Mine does ALMOST 5x7, not quite, but those look so big and huge!

 

[Adi12982]

Pick me!!!!!
.

I'd love you as a moving buddy - a post on my wall on FB would be amazing - and I would be VERY thankful!

This is AMAZING - did you do those by hand? or did you digitize them? Or buy them? I WANT those applique's!

The Valentine's outfit is incredibly beautiful as well!

Totally love the quilt

 

[Dustykins]

I can't post pictures yet, so I can't quote pictures, either! I love those backpacks! The princess dress and Valentine's dress (and the baby in it!) are adorable. That quilt is awesome, especially the quilting - I have a quilt top all put together but it's been waiting for months for me to actually quilt it, maybe by next winter!

You guys are fast!! I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off today getting the last bits of stuff done for DS' birthday party on Saturday (he's 6 today!) before the snow hits tonight - oh and going out with the family for his birthday dinner (silly boy picked Taco Bell with McDonald's pies for dessert )

Happy BD to your DS!

You need to make several more posts to get to the magic number of 10 so you can share pics with us! So, introduce yourself with 5 more random facts we should know about you! That will get your count up to the magic number.

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

Those two shirts came out great!

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.

I would keep it for her since she has a few months of growth between now and then. You can always put a cute top under it if it is still too big.

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.

This dress looks amazing!

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.

I don't think I would have the courage to take my machine apart!

I had a lot of fun making this skirt for DD. It went together really well and she really likes the styling. I may see if I can find a flower applique similar to the flowers on the skirt.

It looks beautiful.

Hi girls! Mind if I join in?

I just joined the DIS a couple of days ago (planning our first trip to the World for my sister's wedding in Sept. 2012) and found this group. You guys make such awesome things! I've been sewing for just over a year so I'm no where near your level, but I love making cute things for my daughter (and to a lesser extent, my son (but I have a hard time finding stuff to make for him).

I just love everything I've seen in this thread - so adorable!

(and, strangely enough, I'm actually a member on sewingmamas - the site linked to a couple of posts up)

I just want to say welcome!

Some of you have already seen these on the big give board or on facebook, so sorry for the repeat for those that have already seen these.

For another big give: this was an add on after I had read Korissa's pre-trip thread and saw that Mom was looking for a cute girly backpack for little sister Kylee that would suit her needs for her feeding pump and allow for the tube on her right side. I decided to try my hand at making something for her, and then I decided that she needed more than one to coordinate with the outfits she got/is getting for their trip.

I found this pattern online, and I am pretty happy with it. Not sure if the straps will be comfortable for all day wear for her, but they look really cute anyway!

Thanks for looking!

The backpacks look amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with this family!

I have a couple of sewing projects to share now that more Big Give packages have arrived at their destinations.

First, we have Minnie skirts and aprons. The aprons are intended for baking at home since they like baking! I put the initial on the Mickey head pockets so the girls can tell which one belongs to whom.

The second project was jewellery pouches plus one pillowcase (I didn't realize the Canadian spelling for "jewellery" is different until I started making them for Gives)

Inside of the pouches:

Thanks for looking!

That dress is to die for! Fabulous!!! I have a feeling that when the dress is on the sash will not cover everything. My dd's least favorite princess is Cinderella since she doesn't like her hair in the bun, so hopefully your dd has the same attitude toward Cindy in case she does get covered up

HaHa! Everytime you mention that you sew in your laundry room...I have to stop and realize yours is probably a little bit bigger than mine. I can only picture mine It is about 5 ft x 8 ft and has 2 doors and a washer/dryer set in it. I would have to sew on top of the dryer if I were doing this.

Mine isn't much bigger. It's about 7 ft x 11 ft and has two doors as well. One goes to our walk in attic so I have some crafty things stored in there in plastic totes. All my fabric is in cabinets and totes in the laundry room. We do have our washer and dryer stacked -- influenced dh's decision in buying Duets though I really didn't care if they were stacked or not. I will have to take a picture one of these days (should do it today b/c it's fairly clean). I managed to be able to keep my ironing board up though will have to slide it over to get into the attic.

Beautiful work! Thank you for all the hard work you do for the gives. It seems like you do something for almost all of them. I know I commented to you before about that but it deserves merit once again. I really like those skirts with the aprons.

I will not go look....I will not go look......


oh crap.... I wanna look.

 

[babynala]

Just wanted to check in and comment on all the great stuff. I've been busy working on Kade's give so I've been reading while I hover over my machine while it is stiching out the appliques.

The gymnastics dress is so pretty and I love the princess dress and the valentines outfit. Too cute. The back packs are great - even if they need a little extra stitching. I'm sure the family will got stopped often to ask where they got those back packs. So much cute stuff for the gives. The flowery skirt and the minnie skirts are so sweet. Those jewlery pouches are a great idea, they came out very nice. The pooh and tigger shirts are really cute too. Hope I didn't miss any body.

Question for Lisa - how do you create scrapbooks for the big give so quickly? You sign up and then it seems like you are requesting the shipping address 10 minutes later. I'm impressed. I forgot if you said if you liked your new binding thing.

glad I don't need anything

 

[kelly1218]

glad I don't need anything

I keep drooling over the Brother PE770 and the Singer Futura CE-250.... I have no idea which one I want.

And NOW....


The Singer is on sale for $549 with 4 payments and free shipping....

DH would strangle me......


So.... has anyone ever used both those machines??? Can anyone tell me the pros/cons of them? Before I just leap in and buy it.... if I'm getting strangled....I want it for the right machine
