This is for the Tink petal dress.
Hancock's FYI-
McCall's patterns are $.99 and Butterick patterns are $1.99 until Sunday.
Halloween is also 50% off.
Grab the new sale flyer because there is a 40% fabric coupon on the back that starts on the 16th.
BTW- I am officially in the "club." I bought the Epcot Fabric today!!!
Good Morning Ladies, and Gentlemen closet tailors (do you know any of them?)
I have decided that I would like to thank everyone here for all your kind words of encouragement, tons of helpful tips and advice, and even your gentle nudges of "enabling".
I have been witness to some of the truly wonderful things that "strangers" have done for other people out of the goodness of their heart!And I would like to reciprocate this, even in just a little way.
I would love to send one pair of custom "boutique" style bows to a poster, or even "lurker" on this thread.
Your choice of colors, but my choice of design. If you have a certain outfit in mind, I am sure that I can come up with something to coordinate.
DW has told me that my "new-found" talent is awesome, and is really impressed! (That means a lot coming from her!)
I do not sell or have I sold on "Voldemonte", or do I plan to sell on "Voldemonte", so I am not trying to advertise or promote my business.
(Yay! I got to use the code name!)
I do not have a Boutique, or a Web-site boutique, or even sell from the corner of my garage or from the depths of a dark and spooky basement!
I am just doing this to spread a little pixie dust and as a friendly gesture to a fellow DISer!
To make this fair to everyone, I have decided to take PM's until 8:00 p.m. EST tonight -DIS time, August 10th. (Please state "Bows" in the subject line) Please do not PM after that, I will just have to delete them.
I will put all the names in a hat and have DD pick the lucky name. I will then PM you to make all the arrangements.
I will post the lucky recipients finished bows on this thread!
I will not give the recipients name on this thread. They are welcome to come forth if they want.
So anyone with a daughter, niece, grand-daughter, or even yourself (why not?) feel free to PM me.
Sorry for all the above mumbo jumbo, but I really don't want to get any infraction points against me, so I am trying to clearly state my intentions to just cover myself. (Did that make sense?)
DW has been collecting ribbons for quite some time now, so I have quite the array of colors available. (o.k. not as much as The Seamstress
Have a great day all, and again Thanks!
Hancock is soooo far from me and I have a Suburban that hogs gas...so I plan on taking my as to Walmart! They totally match the prices and they have a selection! Last week when that sale was on at Hancock, they literally only had 2 of the 10 McCalls patterns I wanted. POOH! "Waldemort" (heh-heh, did you muggles get that?) had all of them
I can't believe that Mickey swirly print is $9.99!!! OUCH! Maybe just a little bit to add to a twirly skirt? That's too much for my blood. Unless, I have a sweet coupon!
get back to sewin'!
i kinda like it big....maybe some velcro strips on the top to hold it too the t shirt so it doesn't slide off and you are good to go
.
I totally "get " all of the "tongue in cheek" references to sweet et al! Well immitation is the sincerest form of flattery right? Oh that AND 300 dollars cheaper

Who knew Lord Voldemort could cause so much giggling.
It was so very sweet of you to do that for us.
to Tom and "Princess Leigh" for drawing me as the winner! I am so excited! I told Tom I felt like I won the lottery! 
This is a non-Disney..outfit that I loved..I didn't bid but I bought the fabric today... and can't wait to get it...it's it darling...
I guess there's no reason this should be a secret, so I wanted to send a big
This was super nice to you to do, Tom, and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say your contributions to this (long) thread have been really enjoyed!
Thanks again! I really appreciate the Pixie Dust...I hope it follows us on our vacation...this is a great start!
I tried something new on the back. It's simple but I thought it added a nice amount of color to the back (the button is sewn on through the straps so no buttonholes were needed... gotta love that! LOL)
