I miss Megan! She is so stinkin' cute!!! I love the hat, and the shirt!!
I want to tell everyone about a really sweet thing that Megan did for Tessa. She knew that Tessa was nervous about starting kindergarten, so she made Tessa a little book called "Kindergarten Rocks". She drew little pictures of the different things you get to do in kindergarten. It was SOOO cute! Thank you so much for helping her with it, Steph! Tessa loved it!! I've read it to her at least 20 times already!
Aw, I'm glad Tessa likes it! They do a lot of little books like that in kindergarten; they kids really like making them. It's a fun easy project and she has them on lots of subjects: the life cycle of a plant, the seasons, Johnny Appleseed, etc. After Megan showed me her book I was a little worried that Tessa would think that she would not learn how to write legibly in kindergarten! She is such a messy kid I had to put translations on the pages!
Hurray for Jacob's fabric! I can't wait to see what you make for him. When we were at Wal-Mart over the weekend Wyatt begged for digital camo in nylon from the $1 shelf. I couldn't say no, but that fabric just feels like a nightmare to sew.
Jacob picked out camo too! I made shorts for his first day of school. So different than the shorts you can buy in the store.
Now I am working on CarlaC's bowling shirt.
I enlarged it on a copy machine at work that could print onto 11x17 BUT....I was able to cut it out and make a copy of the enlarged pattern all onto 8 1/2 x11. The extra 5% actually adds quite a bit. I should take a photo of the 2 hats next to each other.
Thank you! Maybe I will try that. I made it in the xl size and it seemed to fit Jacob and Megan, but now I think I need one for me!
Cute! It looks like she really like her AG doll. Maybe she and Aurora can be friends. Happy belated birthday!
Everything is super duper cute but this is my favorite picture by far! I love that little hip shake!
Here is my latest stuff.
A purse I made my mom along with a sunglass case. I am not happy with how it came out but oh well. My ,machine kept jamming I think because the fabric and the interfacing were too think.
I had that problem too. I bought a denim needle and am going to try that and see if it works better the next time I make one. It turned out cute at least. Love the twirl factor on the minnie!
Oh my! I love the striped skirt and would never attempt anything like that! Actually, it would never occur to me to do that: I looooove it! I almost bought that fabric but I refrained because I have so much waiting to be made into outfits.
Megan says, "I love that outfit and her sandals but what is that black stuff around the picture? I do not like that. I like just Tessa."
Sorry your paint shop artistic attempts were not appreciated.
Man, Tessa really looks like a kindergartener in those pictures. Sorry, mom!
Steph - would you think that if I measured one of the kids heads and made patches to fit around that size, winged a circle for the top and a brim it would turn out at all? i'd love to try but until my i find something else to sell on ebay i cant purchase patterns
I have to dig through the house some more!!!
but anyways, I wasnt sure if it was a terribly hard thing to make...????
Thanks, Wendy
Well, seeing as Tom said he did not follow the directions exactly and his first attempt at the hat came out caddywompus, I really can't recommend it. It is an easy pattern, just a few steps getting all the patches together. Here, go ahead and buy it and then make a bunch of hats and sell them!
So cute! I can't wait to see the Wall-e shirt!
That is completely adorable! And your house looks gorgeous too!
Cute! I can't believe you have Halloween done already! I haven't even finished the first day of school outfits!
Love it! It will be cherished I am sure. I love how you did the panels in the front. I hope the two year old cooperates for you!
So cute! We love Hello Kitty around here. Zofia's hair sure is cute, but don't tell her I said that.
Jacob says thank you for all the birthday wishes. He is playing with his new wii fit. I am going to try to finish his bowling shirt this afternoon.
(That's what I refer to it as now.
Jacob and Happy Anniversary 
Teresa and Brian!!! 
(Really wanted another girl) Actually I couldn't lean over to cut out the fabric on the floor anymore. Finishing my DD Thanksgiving outfit made me so sick, I was done sewing until now. Trying to make a tutu for her Charlie and Lola party!. Any who my son is two months old now, and in desperate need of some cute boy stuff. So please keep on inspiring me!
I took one at a Joann's years ago...it was great. Then I just practiced and read some "how to" books. Patterns like Carla C's on youcanmakethis.com are really helpful and adjustable too! Love em!!! 
11000.00 was just to cover the cost of the cosmetic damage.
i had to do it 3 x's before i finally did it seperately, then attached it to my skirt ..
