Awww - I did!!! Thanks for remembering!!

Anyone else having crazy weather lately???? We woke up in the 60's and the temp dropped all day - now its COLD again!!! lol

Wendy! That is really cute. You know come to think of it I did an applique once similar to that. It was a little add on to the Make it Pink/Blue Birthday dress I made for a friend. Hmmmmmm That might be fun to do tonight.

Talk about insane weather! We broke a record of 86 in Maryland yesterday. Then we had a crazy storm with a tornado warning. It was 60 this morning and in the 40's by the afternoon. I have asthma and do NOT do well when the weather changes suddenly. I can barely breathe tonight.

Okay! I got it (wish I had looked harder when I needed to do this. To bend the word, first choose the font and type the word. Then in the arrange pull down, choose which one you want. If you do the templates it automatically does it. But if you choose one of the defaults, for example the upper arc you have to use the little handles on the border of the word (the little circles that change the size and what not). At first it is just straight and looks like nothing has happened, but on the upper arc the bottom middle little circle makes it arc up. Just click and drag it however you want.

Are you talking about moving a design you bought form someone else, so that you can add a name? I just open up the PES in SEU and then using the select object arrow and drag a box around the whole design to select it all, then you can move it so that it fits in the hoop. Then add the word.

As for the hoop, it doesn't really matter. I also have the PE770. I think they have the right one in the horizontal hoop, but I just use another Brother models vertical 5.118x7.08. It doesn't really affect the machine, it is just used as guidance.

Good luck!
Jessica

Thank you Jessica!!!! Everything you explained worked!!!! I have the 770 as well, I wonder why they dont list the vertical hoop??? Do you have the multiposition hoop? Im still trying to figure that out....it seems like 3, 4x4 fields that overlap each other????

Is there a way to rotate a purchased design in the program???

THANK YOU!!

Wendy - we had crazy weather in my part of NC last night. I woke up to winds of around 70mph at 2am. It even woke DH up...nothing wakes him up! I was scared to death! Then the power went out....we live in the country so it was pitch black...did I know where a single flashlight was? NO! Then Timmy woke up and ran into everything between his room and ours...then Patrick...Katie never budged...pre-teen tired! The kids were out of school because power was out across most of our county. Our power came back on about 10am, but when I drove by the school about 7pm, there was still no power...they have to go to school tomorrow!

We are pretty much right in the middle of Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis. Although we are closest to Annapolis. My allergies haven't been too bad . . . yet but my Dh's are horrible.

We're having crazy weather here too. Saturday was just gorgeous, in the 70's. Sunday it snowed like crazy, the roads were bad and we had several traumas come to the hospital. Today, it's just incredibly windy and we're supposed to get more snow.

She loved them when she got home from school!! She immediately switched their outfits!

These came out great....hopefully my DD's friends will all get AG dolls so I can borrow this idea. I have yet to make my DD's AG dolls dresses....but you are inspiring me.

Thank you again for sharing your creations! What an encouragement and inspiration!

These all came out great!

Thank you sharing, this is great!

Adorable!

Now I can cross this one off my 'to do' list. Trust me, it looked MUCH better in the book I got it from.

PS It's a bear.

My hand's in the photo to give an idea of size, but if there are any agents out there for hand models, now that my career making bears is over . . . . .

I think this is super cute!

These are all fantastic and looks like a great trip.

Now that my Big Give gifts have been received I can post them here.

A Simply Sweet Halter for January

A baby Bubble for Kaitlyn

And some other stuff I have been up to too.

Easter Table runner for a friend.

Easter table runner for my mom.

Simpsons wrist cuff for my DS9 (on my wrist for photo)

Wrist cuffs for some other family members.

These are all great!

Dress (Frankenpatterned Simply Sweet assembly and sizing, but kind of made up the rest of it):

My son was five on our last trip. I did a combo of easy-fit shorts, appliqued tees and bowling shirts for him to coordinate with his sister.

So cute!!!

For my boys (4 and 3) I do easy fit pants and appliqued tees. They always match one another because otherwise they'll argue over who wears what I have yet to try the bowling shirt pattern. One of these days I'll give it a go ! We went to WDW in January and I did shirts with Lightning McQueen, Heffalump (Lumpy from Pooh), Stitch, Ice Cream Mickey, Phineas and Ferb, Star Wars Mickey and Prince Charming Mickey shirts. I used a lot of Disney Fabric to make them easy fit pants to go with their tops.


I finally finished my first Vida! Yay! That was the first time I'd put buttons and button holes on with my machine. WOW! was that easy or what!! I am already planning on making more!

Great Job!

My daughter designed this set. I think she did a pretty good job.

LOVE THIS!



If I missed anyones work I'm so sorry-everything on here lately has been so great and inspirational!!!!

I have a photo of the one that was photographed in the window at Disneyland- do you want that?


I'm gonna cry, I just gathered the skirt (which has this V shape to it) and only after attaching the whole thing did I realize I forgot to line up the SIDE seams- I was so focused on the getting the front right- I pinned front center and back and gathered.

So the seams are now off to left and right front of the dress- so do I rip out and re-gather,pin and sew?
I also hate that the peplums stick up and don't lay nicely- the pattern piece, in my opinion should have been bigger.
here's a photo of it-

Hi there ladies! Not a sewer here, just a HUGE fan of all of your work and of Disney customs in general! Was hoping someone could help me out, I saw this dress on Facebook and am trying to track down the maker, as I would LOVE to have one made for my daughter for our trip in December. Thanks so much everyone, just love looking at your creations!!

Ah it won't let me post an image. It is a vida dress, with appliqued Cinderella's castle and a silouette of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse and it says "It was all started by a mouse"

I need help sizing this pattern down. It's for a twirly skirt that supposedly fits a 5-6 yo. My DD is 4 her waist is 20 inches and I don't want it any longer than 9 inches! Help! I hate math!


STEP 1

1st band: 6"x 13.5"
1st ruffle: 7.25" x 25"

2nd band: 4.25" x 13.5"
2nd ruffle: 5.75" x 25"

here's a link to the actual pattern
http://grandrevivaldesign.typepad.com/photos/ruffled_skirts_tutorial/step1.html

Let see hope I got this math right....

top band loose 1 3/8" to elastic casing (lets call that 1.5") plus 1/4" seam allowance so that leaves 4.25"

top ruffle loose 1/4" seam allowance and 1/2" to hem leaving 6.5"

bottom band loose 1/2" to seam allowances leaving 3.75"

bottom ruffle loose 1/4" seam allowance, 1/2" hem and 2.75" hidden under top ruffle leaves 2.25"

so the skirt in the tutorial should be 4.25" + 6.5" + 2.25" or 12" so you would need to get rid of 3" somewhere.


I think you could leave the width of the strips the same size as the elastic waist will make the skirt fit.

Anita made it for my little girl I sent you a PM

It says I don't have enough posts to reply back to you
Could you PM me your e-mail or Facebook and I can write you there? Thanks so much for letting me know, btw!

EDIT: I just went to message you on Facebook and found that you had sent me a message with Anita's info on Sunday and I had missed it (thanks facebook, lol) I just wrote you back on there!

One other thing I do with the Aivilo (can't recall if I already mentioned this or not) is to pull the lining up so it peeks out the top of the fashion fabric by maybe a cm or so. It looks nice if you use a pretty lining fabric.


Normally I make the straps whatever the pattern recommends which off the top of my head I think its 36 inches. For this bag I made them the width of the fabric (44 inches) for two reasons. One is that Mom had a bag with a longer strap length that she used and I was originally thinking of trying something with a messenger bag style strap but canned that idea -- but Mom's t-shirt size was a bit larger so I figured a longer strap might work better for her anyway. The second reason was that it would be easier to hang the handles on a stroller and still have easy access to the bag.

I would love to see a picture if you have one handy of the lining peeking out. Sounds real cute!
I made my straps the width of the fabric as well. I like my bag to hang lower and I'm a big gal, too, so I like the extra length in the straps. Didn't even think about putting it on the stroller like that. Great idea!

Destashing divas is a page on facebook where you can sell your fabric extras
check it out, it looks easy enough

Was not aware of this. Thanks so much for the lead. I'll go check it out. I appreciate it.

Awww - I did!!! Thanks for remembering!!

Anyone else having crazy weather lately???? We woke up in the 60's and the temp dropped all day - now its COLD again!!! lol

This is adorable. Nice job. Hope you get nice spring weather soon. We have been hanging on tight to winter and I'm sick of it!

Yes, Maryland was nutty the last couple of days. DH and younger daughter have free safety patrol tickets to the Orioles this Saturday. We are hoping that it is warmer than the 50 degrees that is predicted! 50 is so cold here for April!

 

[NiniMorris]

I think this was nutty weather weekend around here!

Sunday and Monday we were in the 80's. Monday night the storm came through and were in the 30's. Downright cold out there right now...37 is what our local numbers are...and back to 69 today with 80's within 2 days...

Spring! Love it!


Yesterday didn't see as much sewing as I would have liked...something about not sleeping made it a bit difficult to function. Today is another day! Lots of work expected from me today!!
