I want to cry. I don't know why the needle isn't catching the bobbin thread. I've threaded and rethreaded. I know it's correct know. I'm so frustrated, tears are coming outI just want to sew!
I don't remember what they were called. I know I bought them last fall on disneyshopping.com.
OH MY GOSH!! I about died laughing when I saw your new siggy picture!!! I CAN NOT believe you are puttin' that out there for the world to see!!! That was probably the last time I ever looked good in a bathing suit!Thanks!!! I can't wait for Heather to see it!
When Lydia saw it she said, "Why is Aunt Heather smiling and you are not?"
Well, look at my HAIR!! Would YOU be smiiling with a hairdo like that???
I'm so glad we're your new habit! Can't wait to see what you make!!
You are just the sweetest sister, EVER!
No one has ever had a better sister than you. 
Yes, that's the 18 inch doll pattern. What is your great idea????
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
I like westies in general. But, Daphne has absolutely no manners!
She's constantly scratching at my legs as if I'm a door and she wants to go out! She gets a little nippy, too. I'm sure Riley is a sweetheart! Tell her we're proud of her, too! She looks adorable in her new skirt!
How funny! Great costumes!!
Okay, I feel REAAAAALLLY stupid now! Well, at least we know that Saylor is even cute when she's not smiling! Lily is radiant, also!! I love their little matching outfits, and the pile of clothes in the background! LOL!
Even sadder it is snowing today so I don't know when she'll ever wear all the summery stuff I keep making!
Okay, this might seem like a dumb question, but are you holding onto the top thread when you're trying to get the bobbin thread to come up?
That is absolutely pathetic!! I just went to our Joann today and there was a whole row, about 10 feet long, 2 shelves, of Disney fabric! I guess we are very lucky!It's been a month since I went to our "local" Joann's. Last time I was there I was frustrated over the amount of flannel and lack of Disney fabric. I decided to go back and see what they stocked up on now that its spring.
Drum roll please..I actually brought my camera and took a picture of all of it...
I LOVE IT!! How cool that you made it with scraps, too! The pictures turned out adorable!
That is great Elisa!!!!! I'm so happy for you!I found out today that I PASSED!
I'm so happy. I actually cried, again, when I saw the screen and saw the word pass. I had to look at it twice before I really saw it.
Thanks for the kind words everyone! It's a huge relief to get that over with... Now let the sewing weekend, begin!!!
I am wondering why we don't have a smily face sewing? We have all these other cute ones to use hmmmmm I wish I was talented enough to make one.
ok as promised Megan at hornor roll with her new skirt on.
I was just checking this afternoon to see if you'd updated yet!!! WOO HOO!!!Okay, I took a break from sewing and updated my trip report! In case you've been anxiously awaiting...
How CUTE are they!!!!! I love the little pile of clothes!!!!!Here are Lily and Saylor (the first time she ever DIDN'T smile, I think the poor babe is teething) in the outfits Sugarbees made them. Lily was THRILLED! She had to put it on immediately (hence the pile of her discarded clothing in the background) and kept saying "we twins". Too bad she is sitting in the photo and you can't see the cute pants she has on underneath.
Even sadder it is snowing today so I don't know when she'll ever wear all the summery stuff I keep making!
That stinks about the fabric, but look at those flowers!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing that with us!!!It's been a month since I went to our "local" Joann's. Last time I was there I was frustrated over the amount of flannel and lack of Disney fabric. I decided to go back and see what they stocked up on now that its spring.
Drum roll please..
Yes, folks, that's right. There were two bolts of Car fabric with checkboard coordinating fabrics. One flannel Ariel and that was it.And thats all they've had for the past 4 months I have been checking on them. Pretty pathetic huh.
Luckily, the Disboutiquer Sohappy is going to hook me up with some fabric she managed to find! Thanks!
Here's a pic outside today I also took....Happy Spring Everyone!!!
Seriously, could she BE any cuter!!!! I love seing her hair down like that! She looks so cute in the hat! You did a fantastic job.Okay, here come a lot of pictures because Lily was in the mood to model! This is what I made with my Easter dress scraps. This is the newsboy hat (it was fun to make something different), Carla's simply sweet dresses and tops, and Carla's easy fit pants from YCMT. Next time I will make the elastic pieces longer because the size 3 is a little snug on my 2yo. That being said, LOVE the pattern! It was very easy and I will definitely use it as a "staple" pattern.

Here is my editing out the runny nose dripping down the face photo (it would've turned out better if I'd used photshop, but then Id've had to change computers):
I love this one!

It must have been the timing. Because I gave myself a breather, sat down and did it slow and it worked. Threading down...figuring out how to sew together what I cut....to go....I want to cry. I don't know why the needle isn't catching the bobbin thread. I've threaded and rethreaded. I know it's correct know. I'm so frustrated, tears are coming out

for you! I hope you can get it to work!Yay!!! I did it!! It only took 2 hours!!!
Okay, this might seem like a dumb question, but are you holding onto the top thread when you're trying to get the bobbin thread to come up?
If you are, I'm worried that the timing might be off. That's what was wrong with my machine once when the needle wouldn't catch the bobbin thread. It was going to cost me more to get it fixed than to just buy a new machine. I posted a video of it on youtube so everyone could help me. Let me find the link for you so you can see if your machine is doing the same thing:

Teresa-every time I see your siggy I bust out laughing about the hair comment! The reason being is that when I was very young I had that exact same hair cut!!!!
With humungo glasses!
Pictures????
Really, could it have been ANY worse??? It's a permed mullet!!!
that is scary!!!!!!
but it fits perfectly.Teresa-every time I see your siggy I bust out laughing about the hair comment! The reason being is that when I was very young I had that exact same hair cut!!!!
Thank you! I was a bit askeered of the pattern, but it was not bad. It took me a little while to make it, but I think from now on it won't take that long. If you do get it, just make sure you go by your DDs head measurement. I made Lily a size large
Oh yeah, well I had the haircut AND the glasses!
We are off to Disney On Ice Princess Wishes tomorrow! Lily is sooooo excited, she keeps asking "can I dance?" I was going to let her wear her fancy Cinderella dress we bought at Disneyworld but I CAN'T FIND IT!!!!! SO she'll have to settle for a leftover Cinderella custom from our trip! I'm adding this on an edit or I would insert laughing smiley here.
