[eeyore3847]

Hi everyone, we've been back since Thursday, but just now getting out from under the loads and loads of laundry. Will post pics when I get them all together, but I have one question. What do I do now that we're back and have nothing to sew for? Hubby says no trip for 3 years

3 years

I say start sewing for the holidays! july 4th is next.

ok, so I finished DD's dress and I am pretty pleased with how it came out. Here is my first attempt at photo posting. Hope I can get it to come out

Your dd is adorable, and you did a great job on the dress!

mytwotinks: LOVE your AG store pics! I took Jayden there for her 9th birthday. We had so much fun! I might be taking her to the one in L.A. in June.

Here is what I have been up to: more boutique dresses. I'm sick of them. I need to do some headbands and more doll dresses, then I'm moving on to something else.

Very cute! And I love Sydni's poses!

Thanks, I thought she looked cute!!! I LOVE all of your dresses! Everything looks soooo great!

I love all of the dresses that have been posted today. I really like the way that the Zebra turned out.

Mytwotinks- It looks like you guys had a great time at AG. Your DD and her cousin look a lot alike. I love those matching outfits that you made.

I've been lurking for a long while and you've inspired me to make a shirt for my tomboy DD. She loves Cars so I made her this Butterick 3832. Unfortunately it is WAY too short. I'm going to make it again as it was so easy. I haven't used my sewing machine in over 4 years. Thanks again for sharing all your amazing work!!!!!!

the boutique is at the end of the month so I'm just trying to get some stuff done. I hope it sells. Now all my friends who go to this boutique are telling me to make bigger sized stuff for their 6-12 year old girls I have no idea what to do.

cute! If she wasn't a tomboy, I'd say add a ruffle! We do that a lot around here when things don't work out.

That top is so cute. My daughter likes Cars too. Wal-Mart sells some croc-like shoes that look like Lightning.

Yup I don't think that would work for her. She's outgrowing some of it. As you can see in the photo she's growing her bangs out. She used to have really short hair-at her request for a "boy's cut" but now she wants longer hair. She still won't wear pink but she wears more than black lately. A few years ago white pants or shorts would have been out of the question.

I was thinking maybe I would use a different fabric for the lining or back on the next one. It was really quick to make and maybe I can do a better job on the shoulders of the next one.

Maybe I can make something "girly" for my almost 9 year old DD. I have a 7 year old DS too.

Thanks! I'll have to see if my Wal-Mart has them. The Payless ones have a stationary back that I don't she would like. I was thinking about getting the Payless (boys of course) Cars sneakers. I don't know if she'll wear those store bought capris or if I'll buy her white shorts.

BUT? Where's the size 5's

Shoot, you should open a boutique store on e-bay featuring several Utah artisans.

Denise (mytwotinks) - not sure where the quote went - but it looks like you had a great time! SO cute! Love the customs, btw!

WOW! That's a LOT of dresses! You've been busy!

I finally got my pics turned upright, so here is my latest! Sydni was all about posing!

And this is a closeup of the applique:

I used Carla's simply sweet tops pattern and pants!

MYTWOTINKS-Looks like you guys had a great time and the girls' were adorable in their customs!

This is a fab outfit. I think I am going to try something with pants next. did you use the Carly C easy fit pants?

These dresses are great, even if you are sick of them you are great at it. One day i will get brave enough to try my hand at applique

great shirt!!! I am new here too and am just trying to keep up with all the great things these guys are making. Don't feel bad about it being too short. I had to cut down the dress I just made for DD. It was like 8 in too long. That's what I get for assuming I knew about how long it needed to be.

 

[Astro Orbiter]

OK, I did it. Entirely from stash, in 6 hours, I have made a Peter Pan top that DD's in love with even though it does not have either TickTock or Tinker Bell. DH even gave it a 2 thumbs up! Thanks, HeatherSue!

I finally found a peasant top pattern that fits! I gave it one more try with a Butterick (after having no luck with on-line ones, McCalls, and Simplicity). Well, once I add 4 inches to the length! I made it out of muslin last night and made DD try it on first thing (length was 1/2" past her belly button before hemming!) then adjusted the length.

From the back, Nana's hidden! I might cut off the ties.

I'd forgotten how tiring applique is - I'm out of practice. And, I need a new sewing chair, so that's not helping. I'm sitting waaaaaay low.

In 12.5 hours, we'll be leaving!

Delicate Question (worded carefully):

Does the fabric from "far away lands" come stinky?

If yes, is the stink easy to get out?

I was reading some comments on and am scared to bid on said fabric.

There is a certain smell, but it does come out in the wash.

What pattern did you use for this top? All of your outfits are amazing, you're very talented!

In 12.5 hours, we'll be leaving!

Amazing CASE!!!!!! And 12hrs, :in my best Napoleon Dymanite voice: LUCKY!!!!!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Your daughter is adorable!!! Sorry the shirt is to short, it really is cute!

Thanks!

And this is a closeup of the applique:

How cute! I think my DD might even wear that. I love the zebra! I used to applique but my machine was really stiff today. I think I have to get it professionally cleaned if I'm going to keep lurking here.

Thanks! I didn't buy enough fabric to make it any longer. The pattern only had requirements for shirt & shorts so I just "estimated". If I had know it was on sale I would have bought more.

Great job!!! Loved the original too!

I wonder if all Butterick's are short.

Have an awesome trip!!!!

I think we have the patterns/material planned out and I will post those pictures tomorrow.

I knew Erin was thin, but had no idea HOW thin until we measured her for the pattern size. She is like a 3 on top but a 7 in length! Thank goodness my mom knows what she is doing!
