Absolutely adorable! I love your daughter's hair -- it's such a pretty strawberry bolonde as it appears much more blonde than strawberry. I bet she gets tons of compliments on it!

YAY I did it I have finally finnished this dress and I am really proud of my efforts. I made this dress for my daughter to wear to a cupcake birthday party this weekend. I have been working for weeks on this as my sewing maching was giving me dramas when I was making this dress and in turn made my life very difficult.

Anyway after getting lots of lovely help and advice from all the lovely diser friends. I managed to fix my machine and get this dress finnished.

I have struggled with my gathering stitches can anyone assist. I set my machine to the longest lengths and medium tension, however it was very difficult to gather. How do you gather your hems and skirts

Make sure you are pulling on the bottom (bobin) thread to gather. Or you could zig zag over dental floss or cord.

Beautiful Sheri!!!! Looks like it was a wonderful time!

 

[tricia]

If you can get your hubby to 'remember' when he is at the auto parts store...they have stainless steel holders for small parts and tools with a magnet in it. They are bigger than the plastic ones at the fabric store and much cheaper! I can get up to 1000 pins easily in one.


Nini

This is what I use also.

Welcome, the outfit is Very cute.

Well..... I guess that is an OK excuse for not being around lately.

Congratulations, and nice pics from the trip too.

 

[mommy2mrb]

Sheri the wedding photos are beautiful! your DD looks so happy!!!

 

[aboveH20]

Shhhhhh! Don't tell anyone, but my 2 liter soda bottles are all naked too!

Very cute dress.

Thanks.

I'm going to have to look for one of these myself, hubby doesnt do auto parts store. ive probably got 1000 pons, but it takes 4 sewing magnets to handle them.

I like the idea that the magnet helps pick them up off the floor. May look into them myself.

I love your adorable DD's adorable outfit. Let the sewing begin.

That made me laugh!


Looks great! I don't see any mistakes! This thread does that to me too. Four years ago, I didn't even own a sewing machine. Now I'm addicted to buying fabric, whether I have a use for it or not.

Thanks.

I know what you mean about buying fabric.

this is what I have been working on lately why I have been mia my baby girls wedding this is the daughter that works for disney she had to come back to texas to get married you can take the girl out of texas but you cant take texas out of the girl

The dress is beautiful. How cool to have a "in" at Disney. I tired to get my older son to apply to the college program. What area does she work in?

Jen

I love the dress. Cupcakes, yum.

I did the zig zag over dental floss method when I was working on a patchwork twirl that has a lot of gathering. Try it if you haven't already. The only problem I found was that I was getting hynotized watching the sewing (to make sure I didn't sew over the floss). The CarlaC recommended method is two rows of stitching, one at 1/8" from the edge and one at 1/2", then pull the bobbin threads.

 

[aboveH20]

Easy...there are such things as pin magnets...its like a round saucer shaped plastic dish, with a magnet hidden inside. All you have to do is drop the pin on it, and it sticks. It's great for getting the dropped pins off the floor too...just sweep it over the area and it grabs them all. I've been using them for years, the first one was a gift, and I think it came from Joann fabrics.

I just saw your ticker. One day until your cruise! Hope you have an amazing time.

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

I just saw your ticker. One day until your crusie! Hope you have an amazing time.

Thanks! We're so excited! The kids are driving me crazy...usually we sail on a Saturday or Sunday, this waiting until Tuesday is agonizing, lol. But that gives me today to finish getting everything together, running last minute things and not at Walmart at midnight as usual. Would you believe I fished my sewing last week? I don't know what I'm going to do with myself tonight, I might have to start a new project, not cruise related!

You should be proud! It's beautiful!!!!

For gathering you can either zig zag over dental floss and pull the dental floss which glides very easily or you can do two rows of long stitches using upholstery thread in the bobbin. You pull the bobbin (upholestery threads) when gathering. I've done both ways. If I have TONS to gather I prefer the dental floss, but for a normal ruffle on a dress I prefer the upholsery thread method. HTH for your future projects.

Don't you have any last minute jewelry to make? Hair accessories? Socks? Flip flops? You just can't possibly be done the day before. That's not allowed on here!

Have a super time and if you could post loads of pics on your return I'd appreciate it. I am thinking about trying a cruise in the future if I can talk the family into it. DD would be easy to persuade, not so sure about dh and ds.

 

[babynala]

Here's the photos of one of my sewing machine covers... Also, the elephant pin cushion that V made me (I won't admit to doing the hard parts for her though - even though I did). Also, the elephant pin cushion she did for herself - which is adorable too!

The little elephant from different angles:

Then the adorable elephant that Victoria made for herself:

D~

Everything looks great. Your DD did a fab job on her elephant. I can't believe she made a FB sale. I'm VERY impressed.

If it will make you feel any better, a couple of years ago I bought 3 used american girl dolls on eb*y. I don't have any girls, so these were definitely for me. I just bought them to make clothes for and dress up.

Here they are in their Carla C princess simply sweet dresses.

How cute, I love them all dressed up in your princess creations.

To really prove how crazy I am, I also bought 3 used Dora dolls a few years back (they were sold in one lot for like $10 I think so quite a bit more reasonable). I got these for my DGD to play with when she comes over, since I wouldn't let her play with the American Girl dolls yet.

I used to make my DGD and the dolls matching outfits, but I haven't done that in a while. She does still play with them quite a bit when she comes over though.

Oh wait, just remembered a recent picture on my phone of the 3 Dora's, lol!

I love all the Doras dressed up in their matching outfits. I really like the minnie easy fits and the white shirt. That is a cute picture of your DGD and her "playmates"

So - I just realized that Zoey is the original Pillow Pet!

I also finished those dresses for the girls..... according to the pattern measurements, they should fit - keeping my fingers crossed!

And, some ITH rainbow hair pretties for their rainbow outfits - still waiting to hear when we are celebrating their birthdays!!! I wonder if they are waiting till we all get back from camp???

Cute, cute, cute. The dresses for the girls are great. Is that fabric knit or just regular cotton? The ITH hair pretties are really cute - they will look great with the rainbow outfits you made.

....if I know what you are talking about when you say merging designs, here's how I did it.

First, start a new wizard, choose the machine brand, model, and hoop:

I hope that makes sense...never done a step by step before!

Thanks a TON for this tutorial. I've never been able to figure this out so I'm going to give it a try.

Thank you for your prayers everyone... They are back on the road again and through the storms. They aren't home yet, but I think the worst is over. I hope.

My girls don't like storms either... they were caught in a vehicle during a tornado a few years ago (I was at home and they were swimming at a public pool with a friend and her mom) - they were on the way home when a tornado hit our town... I was terrified for them because I knew they were out in the middle of no where. They ended up in a stranger's basement... and I was in ours. I never want to go through that again.
D~

Glad to hear your DD is out of the storm and back on the road. Wow, that tornado story is very scary. I'm glad they were able to find shelter and everyone was OK.

I have become a lurker, but just wanted to drop by and say hi and wow! You all never cease to amaze me. LOVE the elephant too. I have hit a dry spell....just cannot make myself sew! And I need to make myself some scrub tops! Anyone have a cure for the I-just-don't-wanna-sew mood?

Welcome. I suggest a small project so you can get a sense of accomplishment. Maybe something for yourself or your sewing area.

I have never posted here but I love all the projects that you do. My Mom just made my DD two adorable outfits that I just had to show off. (Well I think that they are adorable) I hope this works. Here is a picture of one I haven't taken a pic of the other yet.

Your DD is a cutie. That dress is great, love the fabric.

this is what I have been working on lately why I have been mia my baby girls wedding this is the daughter that works for disney she had to come back to texas to get married you can take the girl out of texas but you cant take texas out of the girl

Your DD looks gorgeous in her Wedding dress. It looks like a great wedding. I love how she came home to Texas for her wedding.

You did a great job on the dress. You can tell your DD loves it too. As for gathering - as others have said the dental floss method works good for me but I've never been able to pull the bobbin threads to gather with out breaking the thread. I usually use my ruffle attachment and then adjust the gathers while I'm pinning the skirt to the bodice.

to having all your sewing finished last week. Have a great time on your cruise. Can't wait to see your pictures when you get back!

OK ladies, I need your advice.

DH and I booked a trip to WDW for late September. We're pretty established Disney-goers (with a WDW trip in Sept 09 and cruise in October 10).

We are planning on going to the Halloween party while we are there. DD (3) wants to be Rapunzel (Tangled). Has anyone had any success sewing a Rapunzel dress and what pattern did you use? I'm decent at sewing *stuff* (purses, pillows, curtains) but not overly experienced with clothing.

I was thinking that I might do a Simply Sweet dress and modify it a little. Or just a skirt in purple with an overlay like Rapunzel's and pair it with a t-shirt. DD doesn't like the itchy princess dresses from the Disney store. And this would not be her official Halloween costume, but just something a little more dressy.

I have a Brother SE350, so I could easily do HeatherSue's Rapunzel cutie on a shirt.

Sounds interesting -- especially opening new stores. I keep saying that I want to work in one of the gift shops at the Grand Floridian. My husband keeps saying we live in New York and the commute would be too long.

They sell these at Home Depot too( in the tool corral)..... not sure about Walmart...but I'm pretty sure I've seen them in the automotive section

Such a pretty dress and model too.

Wendy I was able to cut your trees out so I will get them out in the mail hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday the latest.

We have dance recital dress rehearsal today so it is a busy afternoon and evening.

I finally finished the first outfit for our August trip so psyched about that and dd just asked for a matching shorts instead of a skirt so that makes life a little easier.

I'm making Kirsta a Rapunzel tunic using the Portrait Peasant top. Theatre house has long braid attatchments and rapunzel wigs. I figure it will be warm, so I ordered her an attatchment in her own hair color. We plan on braiding it and glueing flowers on it. Back to the dress, I cut it down the front and added a peice in to fold back. On the folded part, I just put button holes in so I could thread the ribbon on. I'm working on the bottom now. I'll a post a picture when I can.
