Hi, I don't post much and my computer was giving me a hard time lately. I love everything everyone does. I also haven't had a camera for a few months. So we finaly upgrated our phones so I can take pictures. I just finished DD Easter dress.

Love it! What pattern is this?

PE770 HELP!!!
I am using the built in fonts. Is there a way to make a space so I can type out a date like March 7, 2011? I can't figure out how to get a space in there!!!
 
I am quite a few pages behind again, going to catch up now. But first, I had to tell all of you my good news for the weekend.

My youngest daughter, Brooke, is pregnant and expecting Sept. 17. I get to be a Granna for a 3rd time and now have a new little one to sew for. We are sooo excited!! Just had to stop in and tell my friends!!!

That is so neat

If you keep advancing through all the letters and numbers, you come to the space (and a few other symbols). It looks like an underline on the screen...



Hope that helps!

This is great. I just love the colors.

The dress looks great! I have some of the coordinating material with a green background. I used it to make DD a new shower curtain. It looks great. I will take a picture and post it later.

Thanks so much! I wondered if that was the space, but just wanted to be sure before I stitched it on the baby blanket. Thanks again!:thumbsup2
 
so, i am craving spring and put this together ( along with 12 other things!) this past weekend. its the striped jumper pattern, obvi without the stripework.

Oops! Meant to grab this one! LOL :)
 
Here are the shirts I did for Kade's big give for them to wear to the Wishes Dessert Party, using heathersue's dessert designs:

I love the dessert designs. Next time we head to Disney, I want to make those for us to wear. Now I am thinking about dessert!
 
Ya, it is really hard. Somedays I do soo good when I'm busying myself by sewing or digitizing or something.. Other days it is all I can think about. It just hits you over and over and over. I wish people I knew understood more and could sympathize, but honestly most people don't get it.
I'm so sorry you don't have more supportive people around you. I really think that is so important in getting through something like this. :hug:
Thanks to all for the nice comments on the books I made for Kade. I've only done a handful of Big Gives, but this was the first one I was worried I wouldn't get done on time! I made it though so Teresa hopefully won't fire me.

You nut!

I REALLY love this!!! So beautiful! The FSL is such a neat touch!

I'm so excited for you!!!!!!!! :banana::banana::banana::banana:
I saw that on Facebook...but I have to tell you...I am soooo jealous! I have one grand daughter...and her momma and daddy have said that is all! My daughter and her hubby have to wait until 3 years after his final chemo before they try...(just a few more months!); and my other son is in no hurry to make any type of commitment to anyone...not even his DOG (which lives at my house!)

I'm seriously thinking about adopting grand children! Have fun with you new little one...do you know if it is a girl or boy yet?

Health and happiness to Mommy and child!

Nini

The comment about your son and the dog just made me laugh!

These look great!!! That was a lot of work!

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their kind remarks about the dress I posted a few days ago (as well as my DD and her father daughter dance!). Your kindness is very much appreciated.

I also wanted to tell you how much your wishes for your health have meant to me. It has been a long road, and it is not completely travelled yet, but I am grateful to have come as far as I have. I'm very grateful that none of the conditions for which I've been treated are not serious, life threatening situations. Simply getting older and dealing with issues that should have been dealt with years ago. I joke that once you hit 40, it's time for a tune up! That's what's happened to me (though I'm 41!). Time to get rid of spare parts, lube up the ones you've got and keep moving!

So, I've spent a lot of time cutting things out getting them ready to sew. I'm going to a scrapbook retreat this weekend, and I'm planning to sew instead of scrapbook. I'm trying to get all of the things I want to sew into bags - already cut and ready to stitch! After this weekend, I should have a LOT of items ready to post.

I hope you are on the mend now Shannon. I can't wait to see the things you make!
 
WOW! Everyones creations are so great! You are all so inspiring!

Here is what I have been working on the last couple days
Tink Sundress for DD9

Minnie skirt for DD9

I love the dress,skirt and the fabric WELL DONE :thumbsup2. Would you mind sharing what pattern you used for the dress and skirt and where I might find it...

Also can anyone recommend a good online fabric store that carry's all of the wonderful Disney Character prints I see displayed here? or at least some...

Last weekend I went to every Fabric store on this island and I quickly realised I'll be doing 99% of my shopping online and importing my fabric, supplies and other materials .....so disappointing...on the upside just 2 more weeks until I can order my sewing machine....:banana::banana::banana:

I love all of the Suess outfits/skirts. You guys have such great taste in fabrics. Are most of these cotton fabrics? What is the technical term. I need to go back to post one and do some more goggling...

I <3 this thread. I spend most of my DIS time reading here now then anywhere esle...
 
Did you all see that Simplicity patterns are $1.99 at Joanns this week? I should not have gone in there. I bought 8 patterns and bunch of other stuff. I am already up to my eyeballs in projects!
 
Thanks to Heather! I think I have fixed my machine and it may not have to go to the shop. :banana:

Now, back to that men's shirt: Any suggestions at all? Change it into a Dress or make it into a sleeveless fitted shirt?
 
Thank you everyone that commented on Ash's Easter dress.

This is beautiful! That fabric is so adorable. Where did you get it?
The fabric came from fabric shack it is called Lily & Will from Moda, they have blue, green and pink; and coming out this month is Yellow and Aqua.

disneygirlsanddrew- the pattern is https://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/featured-products/natalie-dress-sizes-2-8.htm. The pattern seemed to run a little small, Ash usually wears a 4/5 so I made a 5 and it is very snug on her, I easily could have made a 6 in this dress.

Those are super.

That helps me too, thanks. I never could figure out why I couldn't find a space. I have been using the period and then just stopping the machine and skipping ahead a few stitches to the next character instead of letting it stitch out. :rotfl: And I have had this machine since last May.

I love this dress - I am so ready for spring... we've had record snow falls this year (we are at 78"+).

I love this... the mickey bar embroideries are just my favorite! So cute!

Dorine - you are just tooooo talented! I absolutely love these. Tiana and Rapunzel is my favorites (which I seem to have lost the quote on). Soooo cute. Congrats on your success on your shop over the weekend too...that was awesome!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You have no idea what your comments mean to me. :lovestruc

Here is the shower curtain that I made

dangerous post- i just went to converse.com
i was looking for those nemo shoes- anyhow
you can customize your very own pair of dr seuss shoes!!! down the the thread, the grommets and the racing stripe. you can even add a name!!!even if you dont want to buy them for real, it is so cool just to build them. it is in the kids section
don't say i didnt warn you
 
Thanks!! That is so cool that you guys came to Grand Isle. I live in between Grand Isle and New Orleans.. so if you went to Grand Isle you probably passed in front of my house. hehe.. I live near the bayou on the way to Grand Isle.
You probably even rented from my friend Christie. They handle just about all the rentals there in Grand Isle. I have great memories of going to the Grand Isle parade as a kid.
Thank you.. yes I hope our miracle is coming too!

I don't think you will have any trouble with that since its Japanese fabric! It seems like they are all made by the same company and the ones I have ordered are VERY nice fabric. I love working with such lovely textiles. :)

We have been going down to Grand Isle between Christmas and New Years since I was a baby, but last year was the first time we made it for Mardi Gras. We loved it! We went to parades in Golden Meadow, LaRose, and Cut Off and of course Grand Isle. Part of me wishes we could move down there. My dh has never been, and I'm not sure it's his style. I'd have to take him down for a vacation, but most of our vacations tend to be to WDW!

Who do you order Japanese fabric from on Etsy. I've been too nervous, but now, I'm thinking that's the way to go.

Love the dress. I have the same fabric, and just never had any ideas how to use it. I like what you did. It looks like spring to me, and I have spring fever BAD!

How wonderful! Can't wait to see the fun things you make for the baby! Congrats and best wishes for a healthy pregnancy and baby! Let us know when you find out if it's a girl or boy!

Too funny about your son and his dog. Sounds like my brother!

These turned out really nice. I would love to do these if I ever do the dessert party, but even so, they are still so cute!
Thanks to Heather! I think I have fixed my machine and it may not have to go to the shop. :banana:

Now, back to that men's shirt: Any suggestions at all? Change it into a Dress or make it into a sleeveless fitted shirt?
Glad you got your machine fixed without having to go to the shop. I'd like to see you turn the shirt into a dress. I'm sure either way, it'll be great.

Wow. Sounds like fun. I dated a guy in high school who had so many different pairs of Cons. Even Christmas ones, it was pretty funny. I ended up buying myself a pair of striped ones. I loved those shoes. Oh, those were the days! I should buy my son a pair of Chucks!
 
I just wanted to stop by real quick and show pictures of my latest outfit... Cinderella. :)

The carriage is my own design... any tips for working with silver embroidery thread??? It took me 4 hours to embroider this teeny-tiny carriage! Ouch...

And the headband - which I love! :)

Thanks for looking everyone. :)

Next up is Aurora.

Andrea - I have the good 'ol Walmart Singer serger too!! that was my first. I never could figure out how to make the rolled hem either, and what I thought looked like a rolled him on the Singer, I know for sure is NOT now that I have the brother!!! lol!!!

Chiara - give it a try!!! Which one do you have? IT was fun doing the edges of those ruffles!!

I got the Brother 1034 that several here have. I went back and forth as to whether or not to get it . It was on Craigslist. I asked a TON of questions and she sold it to me for 150, which I thought was a good price. I can tell it was not used very much at all!!! there was only a teensy bit of lint inside!!!:rotfl: The person seemed very honest and gave me the sales slip from Amazon plus the warrenty card, CD, thread, and 2 feet that I dont know how to use yet - lol!!!! The threading is so much easier for me on this serger as well!! It does sew a bit slower than my singer, but Im so happy with my rolled hems!! lol....

Ellen - that is a very high compliment coming from you!!!:lovestruc
