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.
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.

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!
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!!!
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!
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!

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