[jham]

I have been MIA , but finally I am back from the Spalaughing THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONCERN AND PM'S THAT I GOT....

Before I went to my retreat I finished some of my big give outfits
these are for the girls
tinkerbelle outfit (the green is better looking than in this picture)

Belle

two extras that I made for the girls

I only have to finish Brody's shirts I got tank tops for him , but now I am rethinking it , as I forgot that some boys do not like to wear them (like my son ) so maybe I should get tshirts?

once again thank you all

Linnette

Okay just lurking since I have to run the kids to swimming lessons then get everything packed and out the door. We are going camping today and DH just told me he wants to leave about 4 hours earlier than I was planning and I haven't even packed and the trailer is not ready. But I had to respond.
So glad to have you back Linnette! We missed you! And thanks for the update from your DH. I hope you are feeling better. The girls will LOVE those outfits! Belle is my favorite, I love it! And I'm sure whatever you make for Brody will be fine. It will be hot there so maybe he will be grateful for tank tops.

I love your animal kingdom outfit! Very cute!

Our houses look a lot alike from the outside.......and then I see aggiemomof3 on your photobucket account so are you in Texas too? We are in the Dallas area. Just wondering!

What is the Vida pattern?

banberryplace
or
fabrichound

Look for FARBENMIX.DE Patterns,
FLEDGE or STUDIO TANTRUM Patterns
You'll love them ...
Very EURO! Fresh & Unique!

Some may be in GERMAN, but there are ENGLISH work-along picture instructions & tutorials, available on the above sites, all over the net AND on those pattern sites.
Even a novice could do use them, with a bit of patience.

You have to add your own seam allowance & trace the patterns from the original (instead of cutting them out of the original) ...
But that's not so bad & allows for alot of creativity

I use tissue paper or table-liner paper (for like a wedding or banquet, comes on a HUGE roll x 36" wide) on my light table ...
IF I'm going to be using the pattern more than once, or storing it for awhile, I put clear contact pattern on my traced&cut-out version ... make sure your tissue patterns are flat & smooth on a very flat surface, when you install the contact paper = once it sticks, it's stuck! I suggest going slow & smoothing it as you go along. And don't iron them after the contact paper is installed

Best of Wishes!

Ggodness, I am soooo in awe of all of you The items you create are incredible. Last year I bought the BROTHER, sewing/embroidery machine from Walmart.. and there it sits on my floor. I have no idea how to thread it, use it, what to buy.... and then I see all these gorgeous items, and feel I can NEVER EVER do it. I would love to.... My DD would love to wear all these clothes, I would love to do it.. but HOW? Is there a Dummy's book for sewing? Although DD9 I think is getting a little older here, yesterday she informed me she is almost a tween and can start dating soon! she also has aspergers, ocd and from my viewpoint even though she is extremely bright, she is also of a mindset of a much younger child. She believes in all things magical.. believes carebears, pokemon and disney are all real. She believes in the magic, so How can I take that away from her? I tried the other day to tell her that the cartoons and comic books are not real and she started crying and telling me how they are. .. But I digress, been doing that alot lately... So how does one who doesn't have a clue, learn to do the wonderful things you do?

Linnette

Oh, LINNETTE!!! We're so glad your home!!! I do hope you are feeling better. The outfits are wonderful as usual. What a great surprise for the girls!! Maybe, since you have the tanks you could pm Denise to see if he would like them before you replace them w/ tees.

Yesterday I stopped at Joann's on my way home to pick up some stabilizer to work on an *gasp* applique. I found this really cute strawberry shortcake in the remnants. It was just about 8/10 of a yd. for $1.81

So I took it home and made THIS

Her it is on Little.

This is what she did when I asked her for a pose

Here is the modified version

It was just a simple pillowcase top BUT I was impressed. I did it all start to finish...including setting up my machine and dragging out all of the supplies (ironing board and all) in the time it took DD to watch Toy Story. I think I am going to scrunch the fabric up and sew it to the ribbon at the ends. I think it will take it a bit lower on her and also, I am neurotic about symmetry but Little rarely gives me time to make things even, which is why you rarely see her w/ 2 pig tails. SO it drove me nuts this morning (yes she had JUST woke up-poor puffy eyed thing!) trying to get the ribbons even

I am also thinking about doing a red and white striped pant gathered just above the knee, a bloomer I guess. and adding a strawberry applique and one of the little fishy on the fabric for her to wear to her dads gig on sat. It'll be cute.

Since I said I would post pics of my meager stash whenever I got it somewhat organized here are a couple. Mind you this is in my closet, so forgive my DH's uniforms in the pic!!

and lastly... THIS is what my ankle has looked like for the past 3 days.

I've been keeping it up and putting ice on it when I can... but eventually the swelling comes back.

ALSO, I have a nasty little secret. I have NEVER hemmed my own arm holes. or any other kind of skinny hem. My MIL always does it for my cause I am askeered and she does it really fast w/out even ironing! BUT last night I was forced to do it myself and I am proud to say that they came out quite nicely. I mean, I wouldn't enter it in a arm hole hem contest but they're even and don't look half bad if I do say so myself, and I DO! YAY me!!!

I gotta go run lunch to DD at school, I opened up the PB today to find that one of the boys put an EMPTY jar in the pantry

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Thursday so far!!

[Natalie_89]

still wondering if anyone knows any good places to get disney applique..any website you can order from?? the ship to the uk with uk pricing too lol

 

[t-beri]

OK, I resized those AND rotated them which took a flippin' long time.. But i really have to run, I'll edit that post for you guys when I get back...SORRY!!!

Well, Heather, Lily's pictures are BIGGER this time

 

[longaberger_lara]

Hey, everybody! Been lurking for a while - my girls started back to school today and I went and signed up for classes yesterday ! I'll be having my little man's 4th birthday party this weekend and then hope to get back to sewing after that. I've got to have the dining room clean for his party and that's where I leave my sewing set up most of the time! All the new things are just gorgeous! Love the Big Give Ariel, Linnette's Tinkerbell and all of the Halloween goodies!

 

[iheartdisney]

So I took it home and made THIS

Since I said I would post pics of my meager stash whenever I got it somewhat organized here are a couple. Mind you this is in my closet, so forgive my DH's uniforms in the pic!!

First off, I need to stop looking in thisd thread when my 5 year old is in the room, becasue all I hear is "I want on of those! And one of those! look at that! Make me one of those!" Keep in mind, I've only made her one dress so far in her life!

And I love your "stash"! I'm in the process of organizing mine from the 3 boxes it is spread throughout from the last move. I've got to divide the actual fabric from the scraps and unfinished projects.

Linnette,
We were worried about you girl. Now unless you want a time out don't you leave again without telling someone!....LOL! Darling outfits. LOVE THE BELLE

 

[CampbellScot]

two extras that I made for the girls

So glad you are back!!! All the outfits are FABULOUS!!! The pink and green print is my absolute FAVORITE!!!!

Her it is on Little.

and lastly... THIS is what my ankle has looked like for the past 3 days.

I've been keeping it up and putting ice on it when I can... but eventually the swelling comes back.

Darling little top on that darling little girl!!!

YIKES on the ankle! Are you sure it's not broken? That's pretty nasty swelling...on BOTH sides. It might be time for an X-ray!

hope you are feeling okay soon girlie!!

 

[cerberus]

Here are my first creations.

These of course were very easy since they were pre-shired....that is my idea of sewing

My model was not cooperating so here is the pillowcase dress, made with help from my mom Made this to coordinate with the birthday dress my bought for my 3yo DD for her party at Chef Mickeys

 

[Natalie_89]

Here are my first creations.

congratulations those are great...ur girls look adorable

 

[t-beri]

I've been fearing that today. I can get the swelling down w/ ice and ibuprofen but it comes RIGHT back. I need to stay off of it but it doesn't seem to really be an option. I will most certainly be chasing Lily around the park all day saturday at her dad's walkathon gig.

I am still recovering from the bills of my last injury.

I hate to go to the doctors and have them say "oh, it's just a twisted ankle..."

I don't know what to do. It doesn't hurt terribly but i was squatting down to get those pics of Little and my ankle turned right out from underneath me...boy THAT did hurt!!!

Where is everyone today?

Beautiful song!
Reminds me of another of my favorite songs Butterflykisses from Bob Carlisle.
Good thing you can't see me. Not a good looking crying man here!

Oh, that song gets me too!!!!! To combo both songs, Steven's oldest daughter Emily had just announced her engagement! What a tough time for this family....

This song makes me cry along with butterfly kisses. I didn't realize Curtis Chapman lost one of his little girls. That is going to make me cry even more everytime I hear it.

Yes - little Maria - I think she had just turned 5 years old - she was one of the 3 little girls they adopted from China. She was a cutie!

That song made me cry from the 1st time I heard it but after the tragic loss of his little girl I can't even listen to it! They are such a strong family. That poor son Will he is going to be so scared for life. I love how the whole family just rallied around him showing so much love to him. Ok need to stop crying now!

Oh that is a good one too! Don't Blink by Kenny Chensey gets me too! These kids have to stop growing!

I'll have to check out that song when I get home...I feel for Will, what a horrible experience -

I had never heard that song, but I found it on youtube and now I'm right here at my desk at work. Another song along the same lines that always gets me going is You're Gonna Miss This by Trace Adkins.

Did you see the video of the song? With the dancers - oh goodness...We were at night of Joy last year where he premiered that song, and I dont think there was a dry eye in the Magic Kingdom - and to hear him tell the stories of the 3 little girls and bath time, and them dressing up like princesses,,,,

That is totally sewing and GOOD JOB!! There's nowhere to go but up now!!!
I have had that same minnie fabric since the beginning of the summer. I serged up the seam and then didn't have the right color of ribbon. then a month later I finally bought some and STILL haven't made time to add the straps...maybe she can wear long sleeves under it in the winter

The pillowcase dress is darling too!!

At the very LEAST you need a compression bandage...either an ace wrap or the "ankle brace" types. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation! R.I.C.E!! It's the best formula for treating ankle sprains. Your ankle needs support and stability or it will keep rolling! Sometimes breaks don't hurt at all at first.

But start with the compression...keep RICE-ing it!!!

(okay so once upon a time I thought I'd be an Athletic Trainer I'm not sure what I was thinking there...aside from getting to hang out wiht the mens basketball team...*ahem*...sprained ankles were my specialty! )
