These are soooo GREAT! You did a fantastic job! They are all cute!

I was in Wal-Mart a little while ago picking up some fabric to make DD a Valentine's dress and I asked the lady about the book panels. She said that they had just put them on sale, and they were already sold out. I told her about making a skirt with them. She pulled a panel from under her table and told me that she would put a good price on it for me. She had cut off the instructions, but since I was going to be using it for a skirt she said that it shouldn't matter. So I got this panel:

And I only paid a penny for it. It has little children's prayers on it. It is a cream color and I found some lace that matched it. I have a pink t-shirt to go with it.

A PENNY?!!! you got a great deal! How do you all find this penny fabric????? I want some!!(Insert whiny smiley)

Here is what I worked on today!

This is great and your little guy is a cutie. I have the raglan pattern on my wishlist.

You did it! I lost your other post, but the Epcot outfits are my favorites. I love turquoise! The MK jackets are very cute too. These are just the type of outfits my DD likes to wear. Great job!!

Of course you can join us! I made my first Barbie dress last week and now my girls think I'm Queen of the Universe! I should've never opened that can of worms!

You sewed for BARBIE? I still complain about sewing for Jord. I would go nuts sewing for Barbie. I want to see pictures (please)

Here's my work for the day. It took approximately 6 hours to do the work. Still need to fray check the ribbon and attach the lace on the hem. Or should I just hem it? What do you think?

I plan on making a peasant top to go with it. Maybe out of gauze or batiste.

GORGEOUS!!!! Your daughter and the outfit! This is just soooo pretty! And I like the lace!!

Oh my - I am doomed! I just can't keep up! Here is the pic of the outfit I made for Emma for her birthday tomorrow. I couldn't help but include the one of her rolling her eyes at me! This is the YCMT peasant top - I used the long sleeved pattern but had to add at least 4 inches on it to make it that way. Anyone else have that problem?

Gorgeous - now that is something I'd have my girls wear to a wedding or christening - stunning


Carla - I've been reading through those patterns I'm so glad I *won* as I think I'm going to have a new addiction I love the detail in them. THANK YOU


Now.... I hear everyone talking about a ruffler, I've been thinking of getting one (but they are $90.00 here so I'd have to do some serious sweet talking - or get selling some stuff on Trademe which is our equiv to ). Do you think I *need* one??? ATM I gather using the shirring elastic which I find works well - or I do a zigzag stitch over embroidery floss (prefer the shirring elastic now I know how to use it). Will a ruffler do proper pleats also??

What other non normal feet do you consider a must have?? as I will probably buy a couple to get the most out of my postage.

I did manage to finish one of two VD outfits. Yaaaa I'll post pics when my models are awake and somewhat clean.....I have included WHITE in the outfits...

This is truly beautiful! I like the lace hemline.

I LOVE this! Your dd is just soooo cute!

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

Thank you! Shirring is the stitching around the neckline. You use elastic thread as your bobbin so it gives it stretch. You can see it better on Tom's peasant top pictures.

Does shirring around the neckline looks better than using elastic in a casing? I think you can do it that way as well?

I love it! I like it with the lace on the hem.

Beautiful birthday outfit. Which peasant top pattern did you use? Is it the portrait peasant top or the other one by Dainty Design?

 

[lesliewitt]

lesliewitt - when is your trip? Your outfits are adorable!

Thank you! I wanted something that my DD9 (almost 10) would actually want to wear-there are very cute outfits here, but some might be a little girly for her taste. Also, I do not have enough talent, like many of the wonderful seamstresses here, to do a lot from scratch. I found it easier to work with clearance clothes I got at Old Navy, Gymboree, Gap and Target.

The last project I am working on is tye-dyed t-shirts for everyone with Mickey heads. I'll post those when I am done.

We will be at Disney from Feb. 9-15, and then head back over to my ILs for a few days before the kids and I head home (looks like DH will have to head to Miami for work first). We can't wait. Florida was almost 100 degrees warmer today that it was here in the frozen tundra (area windchill was -28).

Beautiful dress! I personally like the lace better at the bottom, but if it is easier just to hem it, I don't think it will look like it is missing anything.

Ok, now you are just showing off!!!!

I tell you what though, if you find anymore of these penny deals, I will give you a whole QUARTER for it!!! That's quite a profit, don't you think!

Love the new pattern, I'm adding that to my wish list! DD10's name starts with a J and she wants that shirt! (but a little larger ) I guess you've realized by now that the stripwork jumper and portrait peasant dress patterns are very popular around here! They are my 2 favorite patterns! I'm dying to try raglan t's but I'm askeered. I haven't sewn with knits before.

Here are my 2 favorite patterns in one outfit (shameless photo reposting)

I LOVE seeing pictures of her!!! She is just such a cutie!!!

What is the name of this pattern, the ruffled peasant top that Tom made
, and where on YCMT do I find it?

Tom taught me about upholstery thread when I was going crazy trying to gather a flannel nightgown. I use it in a basting stitch whenever I gather and it works like a charm and never breaks. I am ruffler foot-challenged, so basting and gathering seems to work the best for me.

If it gets stuck in your machine DO NOT yank on it!! Right Heather!?!!
Unless, you want a new machine.....

You sewed for BARBIE? I still complain about sewing for Jord. I would go nuts sewing for Barbie. I want to see pictures (please)

I'm kind of missing Jord. I haven't seen a picture of him in a long time....

Here's my work for the day. It took approximately 6 hours to do the work. Still need to fray check the ribbon and attach the lace on the hem. Or should I just hem it? What do you think?

THAT IS BREATHTAKING!!!!! Just beautiful!!!! I love the lace at the bottom, it makes a gorgeous outfit even more special!!! That is something you could pass down to your grandchildren!!! Sooooo pretty!!!!

I love this picture! She has such beautiful hair! It's growing really fast!
That is a cute outfit!!! What is the fabric that you used? Do you have some close ups?

Now.... I hear everyone talking about a ruffler, I've been thinking of getting one (but they are $90.00 here so I'd have to do some serious sweet talking - or get selling some stuff on Trademe which is our equiv to ).

You need a ruffler! I love mine. I haven't optimized it yet, but I will! I HATE to gather, so this thing is great! Do you know what kind you would need? low, high or slant shank? (there are pictures of the different shanks in the bookmarks) I like the rolled hem foot too. Which reminds me... YEAH DEANN!

Does shirring around the neckline looks better than using elastic in a casing? I think you can do it that way as well?

They both look nice, it just depends on what look you are going for.

All the outfits are great- when is your trip??

Louiesmom- that skirt is really cool- you've got my wheels turning how you did that- Maybe there's answer coming up!!

Very, very cute!

Thanks!

I LOVE this! Your dd is just soooo cute!

AWE - shucks !

Beautiful birthday outfit. Which peasant top pattern did you use? Is it the portrait peasant top or the other one by Dainty Design?

Thanks so much! I used the one by dainty design - but I would like to get the other to see if it is a little more size acurate.

I love this picture! She has such beautiful hair! It's growing really fast!
That is a cute outfit!!! What is the fabric that you used? Do you have some close ups?

THANKS! Her hair does grow so fast. She has donated a total of 23 inches and she is only 8! It has these beautiful natural highlights too. She picked out the fabric for the outfit - I know it had a name on it but I just looked and must have gotten rid of that part. Sorry! I did get it at JoAnn though. Funny you should ask for a close up - I was thinking I should have posted a closer pic when I saw my first ones too! Here ya go!
