I think that is Ginger and Rod's love seat and the last pic shows the aftermath. They're kind of kinky from what D's told me about them.

And how would I know? I had to google the word "kinky"...

I truly hope you didn't google kinky! That is a terrible idea! Yikes. Some words are better left un-googled.

 

[dianemom2]

I got a good chuckle out of that! You definitely don't want to google "kinky"!

 

[DMGeurts]

Googling Kinky isn't the problem... Google image-ing kinky is...

Andrea... I am speechless.

Now I think you've put some wild images in my mind!

I need a few opinions.

Which way would you run the strips for a sash/ruffle.

Option 1 - Horizontal

Option 2 - Vertical

Option 3 - None of the above.

I'll be the odd ball...for some reason I like horizontal, but I also think the vertical looks great! Sorry I'm no help

I love reading about ginger and dorrrine. Ginger's costume is the best!

It's almost as bad as when I googled Minx Club

I am SOOOOOO behind! I haven't had a chance to go back and look at what all I've missed!

Sorry for dropping off the face of the computer. The ILs all came down for a visit: MIL, FIL, BIL, SIL, and nephew. They brought a tummy bug with them. There was at least one person sick ALL.WEEK.LONG. as it passed from one person to another. I have never done so much laundry in my LIFE! The ILs left Sat morning and my last kiddo to get sick has finally rebounded, so we should be all clear from here on out.

Off to see what I've missed (other than all of you!)

I think the sash would look better horizontal but I don't think ruffles would look good that way, they would be better vertical. I say vertical ruffles and a solid colored sash.

DH will be gone almost all week this week so I am getting the velcro tomorrow for my mother's clown costume and have been enlisted by my DD15 to make her a Sailor Moon halloween costume and she even let me make a duct tape body double of her. Wish I had more duct tape but I think it will work okay. I know what I need to do better next time. I need the red white and blue fabric for her costume too so I guess I better find that pattern and see how much.

And thank you everyone for all the compliments on my costume. My first pics were horrible but photopass was great !

Which day were you at MNSSHP? Just wondering, because someone in one of my facebook groups said she was there and saw a Meridia that looked way better than any they met in the park. I first thought of you.

haha, I was there on the 28th of September. I did have someone stop me and take my picture.

Andrea? I keep checking in to see how you're doing.

I may as well post my latest. Next week I'm having dinner with some women I used to work with. I asked the youngest one if her daughter has AG dolls. She has four! I had planned to make each of them an outfit but quickly remembered how time consuming the clothing is -- despite its size -- so made one outfit.

Dorrrine with her American Girl Halloween outfit.

The skirt is reversible.

And, of course I'd never leave Ginger out.

All set for MNSSHP.

Well, except for tickets.

Love it. They are too cute!! I miss seeing Ginger.

I like horizontal but vertical would look best on the ruffles. I had a similar dilema with a rainbow stripe for a rainbow brite dress and I ended up doing vertical on the sash and horizontal on the Ruffled straps for a simply sweet and I think it looks okay with the mix.

Bummer - she was there last Saturday. Well, you looked better than any other Meridia I have seen.

I haven't heard from the store yet. But I found a used Innov-is 4000d that is in great condition, with just over a million stitches. It fits into my budget to upgrade my machine so I think I am going to buy it. I talked to the guy at the store yesterday but he wanted almost double for a used Ellegante 1 with about 5 million stitches. He kept saying that I'd get free maintenance and lessons. But I could an awful lot of servicing done with the difference price and I really don't need any lessons.

The Haunted Mansion would look terrific on a shirt with the glow in the dark thread.

Sounds like you have a great plan for the upgrade. I would like to find out how you like the 4000D as it would be one of the options I'd consider for my upgrade.

Oh I am sorry to hear that the family visit was interupted by a stomach bug. I hope people managed to have a good time despite the sickness.

DH will be gone almost all week this week so I am getting the velcro tomorrow for my mother's clown costume and have been enlisted by my DD15 to make her a Sailor Moon halloween costume and she even let me make a duct tape body double of her.

Sounds like you have a busy sewing schedule ahead of you. I can't wait to see the finished products!

Hello, I have been on the disboards awhile, but have never found this thread before. I have finally made it thru this thread and I must say I am highly impressed with the talent on this board. I am not sure my sewing skills are good enough to be here, but I thought I would jump in instead of being a lurker. I have a son, so I don't have many cute disney outfits, but when he was younger, I made his halloween costume every year. This one particular year he was crazy over Peter Pan and captain hook, so I made him a Captain Hook outfit. It doesn't compare to what you guys do, and it was quite a few years ago, but thought I would share anyway. I can't wait to see more pics of all your guys stuff, you have inspired me to start sewing again.

 

[4HppyCamprs]

Welcome. I am new too but I am new to sewing altogether. I think your Captian hook looks great!! I spent my evening becoming one with my seam ripper because I m working on my first pattern and managed to sewing the top of the shirt skirt closed. Yay me!! These ladies are very inspirational!!

Glad everyone is on the mend. How nice of your ILs to share

How sweet. Your costume was amazing

What a great costume. I have only been sewing for a few years and had some limited skills when I started and would have never attempted that project at first. Great job.

The seam ripper is my BFF But you do learn alot from sewing when ripping out seams

Hello All.
I have not posted in awhile, but I have been keeping up and everything is beautiful.

QUESTION:

I am making my sweet daughter the PINK Cinderella dress for Halloween. So far I am very pleased with how it is turning out; however, I am having a hard time with the fabric bows. I have made sewn ones and just turned ones. Both kinds look ok, but not full and puffy like I want. Any ideas or suggestions? I like the turned bows for the top, but not the bottom and the sewn ones are not full enough for that either. Please help!
