Hi Everyone,

Ugh, what a day!!! Didnt get around to finishing the girls Valentines skirts - so Im thinking I may have to hold on to them until next year and just add some length! Zoey has gastroenteritis (not sure how ya spell that!) and is in the hospital for an overnight stay for fluids and discomfort relief. Poor baby woke up barfing - we were scared to death worrying that she had a blockage - ala what she had this fall - so we decided to take her to the vet. I am SO THANKFUL that she was not blocked. She had knocked over the trashcan yesterday morning before church, and there was some cake that I had made. The cakepan had been sprayed with cooking spray, and when the cake came out of the oven, we noticed a funny smell and a really awful - almost rancid - taste to the cake - so maybe that was what gave it to her???? Anyway, I hope my furbaby is home with me again tomorrow night!

If anyone wants to chat with me tonight here or on facebook - I need some company! I cant settle and am feeling rotten. I'd go sew, but im so distracted, I know I'd make mistakes.....

We are doing pretty good with Jayden's Big Give - still alot of things open, including pixie dust for the twins, and we'd love to have ya!!!

Thanks Friends, Wendy

Praying for you and Zoey. Hope she's home cuddling with you soon!

I'm going to try to post a few pics. We put half of the pics on my husband's computer to clear the memory card while we were there, so I had to use a few hanger shots since that's all I have until I move everything over. So, here are the 4 shirts, 1 dress, and passable applique stroller tag

I threw away my first attempt at this. This one is only slightly better. I'm going to practice. A LOT.

I just have to say that I LOVE the bowling shirt pattern. I've made a couple of button-downs for my little guy, and this was just so easy!

Everything is so cute. Your shirts look awesome! The applique is great for your first try. It does get easier. Keep at it!

LEGO DESIGNS!!!

ok. I have not bought anything from this designer, so I have no idea how they stitch out, but I stumbled upon some LEGO designs today.

Can anyone point me to a Chef Mickey design, please?? Thanks

We aren't going to Legoland, but my kids LOVE Legos. We actually went to an awesome Lego Expo in Raleigh last fall. It only toured 5 cities, but if it comes to one near you, go!

Anyway, they are also obsessed with Star Wars so I found some cute Lego Star Wars designs (google Vincenzo Embroidery) and made these with an Ottobre magazine pattern.

Hey, you're the sparkley Sandi from patternreview.com I recognized the Feliz.

Here is today's outfit. I did the Blue and Magenta designs because my friend's 3 year old is obsessed with Blue's Clues. She's been looking for t-shirts with Blue and Magenta for a while but can't find anything. I guess they are not as popular as they used to be.

Once again this wasn't fabric that normally would have picked for this outfit but I am committed to using up some of my fabric stash!

QUESTION?

My DD4 has had heart issues and more and we just got a phone call from her cardiologist at Childrens Hospital who said that we are go be there for a sleep study in a couple of weeks and she will be comming home with a monitor to wear for a month or more possibly, until we get her issues under control. This means she will be wearing a small monitor and 4 electrodes while we are at WDW and then some.

My questions is, does anyone know any cute and EASY way to make a little fanny pack to put her monitor in or some cute idea for it. It will be a small box, aboua little bigger than the size of a tape cassette box was. It will have 4 cords going from her chest area to the box. She is little and skinny and it does have a belt clip, but it usually weighs down her pants too much and falls off easily.

Im not good at sewing, but thought this would be a must, not to mention Ide like to make it with some kind of Disney print, to it just looks cute, maybe she will be a little more excited about it all!

Any help or ideas would be soooooo gladly appreciated. Again, it has to be simple as I have only tackled 1 pair of shorts and a little almost like pillowcase dress and both were only OK! Thanks!

Sorry to hear about your DD's health issues. I wonder if you can do a little purse with a cross body strap? I think the hipster style bags are quite easy to make.

Great job on everything. The applique looks great! It is hard to do something with all curves!

Heather has some Chef Mickey designs I think.

Here are a few things that I worked on last week:
Lady and the Tramp dress. These were the designs that I made and then went back and reworked because I wasn't happy with them. I'm not thrilled with the fabric but I'm trying to use up some of the stuff that I bought on the clearance sale at Walmart last summer. If I was going out to buy fabric, I wouldn't have picked it but I wanted to use up some of what I already have.

Wow! Those designs are terrific! And so are the Blues Clues ones! You're really getting so good at it!

This weekend I decided to tackle the quilted handbag that I thought I would might use at a future trip to WDW....but now that it is done....I'm thinking it is too big for me because I'm only 5' tall and it seems too big. I wanted it a good size so I could also carry around my larger camera. Here's some pictures of it...I should have had a pic of me with it so you could see what I'm talking about. I was going to try and make a little Mickey Head as the zipper pull but didn't have enough time to figure out how to do it. Maybe later.

Cute dress! I think the colors are great for a 3 year old - very cheery and bright!

Very cute, and the fabric is great. I have been trying to sew from stash lately too. Otherwise I will have no room to bring in any new fabric.

Sorry - I haven't read through the thread to see if anyone has answered this, but if you are interested in something already made, you might look for insulin pump carriers. I know they make fanny pack or back pack styles for kids. There are some here:

We don't have any trips planned, but I love to sew for them Disney related and otherwise. You all do such fabulous work!

Thanks everybody! I have been very happy with the way my designs have been turning out. I worked on some Lego designs yesterday but didn't have time to do more sewing on them today. I can't wait to share what I am making with them!

I have been trying hard to use up some of my stash because I tend to be such a fabric hoarder! I see the fabric and I love it, then I buy it and forget what I planned to make with it. Or I imagine an outfit and don't have the fabric that I exactly think is perfect already in my stash so I go and buy more.

While using stuff from my stash I have decided that some of the precut fabrics that I got at Walmart are a very cheap quality. I have been mixing them with some of the fabrics that I bought other places and the feel of the fabric just isn't as nice. Since I got them on a pretty good clearance I am not upset, just an observation on my part.

Very cute, and the fabric is great. I have been trying to sew from stash lately too. Otherwise I will have no room to bring in any new fabric.

The fabrics on the Blue's Clues dress are from Hancock fabrics. I got them on a very good sale last spring. I am glad that I finally found a use for them. I had originally imagined making that fabric into a patchwork twirl skirt but I never got around to making it.

Love the outfit for your niece! How did you do the heart? It is really cute! I haven't sewn too much with knits. I love this pattern.
