Ok, I know that I can sew. Here is the proof. I made this when I was 13 or 14. There was a belt and a pair of pants that matched. My girls (now 22 & 19) have worn the shirt at some point because it was back in style again. I still have the belt somewhere but the pants are long gone.
I made DD a tee to go with the tutu twirl skirt eeyore3847 made. I love the tee Lori made - she'll wear it with the skirt as an everyday set. I loved this fabric so much that wanted a tee to match! I think I'll make myself one on a pink tee. The bows are petite bows and they are sooo cute!
So I finished two skirts
What do you all thinks?
So my DH decided to be all super sweet and mine and went out to buy me a surger. Problem is I have never used one and I have never seen one in use. So I basically have no clue how to use it lol! Any good suggestions on surging for dummies?
OHHHHHHH BELIEVE IT!!!! WOO!! She is so much better now though! Corey was pretty busy, but turned into a total terror at 18 months, I still remember the day! Arminda was the calm between the storms! She has always been extemely well behaved (if not overly sensitive at times!) I believe God gave me Arminda so that I could catch my breath before he sent Lydia my way! BUSY BUSY BUSY!!! She walked at 8 months, talked at 6 weeks, and has a temper to go with the red hair! Other than that, she is a little angel! Lydia has the attitude that she can do ANYTHING that Corey or Arminda can do! She doesn't seem to notice that Corey is 10 1/2 years older than her!
See, if you weren't nosy, you wouldn't have known that was directed at you!
So true! I think it looks fine, so I doubt she will say anything!We'll see what the mom says. I e-mailed her the pictures. If she comments on it, I might try what you guys have suggested (thank you!) or rip it out and start over like Leslie said.I am hoping she will love it and not notice!
I think that is the deal. The ruffler is the one that looks more like a contraption than a presser foot.
MAN, do I hear you about the boys knowing everything!

And just a reminder...DS2's tee
Thanks for the compliment but honestly I am pretty selfish. I am in it to adopt a little one. We figure that fostering we are giving back to the system that will eventually give us a child. Not to mention I am a full believer in Karma. Praying that my future kiddo is in a good foster home if we do not get him/her first.
Now I just have to find something to make her big brother a quilt out of.
I am laughing so hard that I woke up Arminda and Lydia!I am not sure why she is making that face. I think it is because she is only wearing the top and she was very afraid I would take a picture that included her panties (Sunday from the Disney days of the week pack I got from that big on-line sale). Also, she slept with her hair in braids so it is a big disheveled. She is really not crying! I didn't bribe her with gum and then refuse to give it to her, honest!
I am all thumbs when it comes to bows - those came from ebay. I think there a directions in the bookmarks for the same style bows - just make them the size you want?
Yes, that's right, there is no control on the gathering foot. The ruffler is the big scary one!
Adorable Leslie!!!! I love that idea!I made DD a tee to go with the tutu twirl skirt eeyore3847 made. I love the tee Lori made - she'll wear it with the skirt as an everyday set.

Oh, and I was not allowed to take a picture of the boy's face. He was fresh out of the shower and his hair was wet.
Those are SOOOO cute!!! I'm really loving the orange one!So I finished two skirts

Thanks! I'm going to buy a ruffler!!!
Actually my 8yo is a girl, and she knows more than boys, at least that's what I'm told!

I love it too!! It is Moda fabric from their Sweet hearts line.
We saw Jiminy twice in MK in November. Both times he was just inside the gates on the right at the foot of the steps of whatever that shop is (ggggrrrrrr!) maybe something-or-other Emporium? Anyway it's the first one on the right as you walk in & it's huge.
This is dd4 & my Mom who LOVES Jiminy
Well, actually my 8 year old, is now an 11 year old, and he knows even more now than he did when he was 8! It's amazing that I've survived for almost 39years since I know so little! The pre-teen years! JOY!
Thanks so much, I'll check out the link!

I was at a second hand store that my friend suggested. Usually I can't stand them, and stay far away, because of the smell. Long story...but I hate that musty moldy attic smell....ick
Anyhow I found something that doesn't fit my dd but had to have...
I just thought it was the funniest thing. I was laughing in the store and people were looking at me..LOL.
I will have to list it because it is way to small, but I just thought it was a total riot...it would definately stand out against all of those plain ponchos.
