[teresajoy]

Whoo hoo! I have to tell someone! I totally just made a Mike from Monsters costume. My best friend was looking for one and the one she wanted went to $50 already on ebay or whatever we call it. So tonight I have made one! I am so excited! She is fast asleep though so can't share my joy!

Well, where are the pictures!!!???!!! That is pretty cool!!!

We are going to a Seafood/ Chesapeake Bay Festival this weekend. This is the dress I made for both of my girls. This is the baby's first custom. I am so excited.

I do suggest not learing how to applique with the MD Blue Crab. (They are blue until you steem them. Yummo! Well I don't like them but a lot people do. )

I still have to cut some little threads. I was busy watching Monk and Psych tonight.

 

[mindymouse1]

me three....another RN student here too! I made a few outfits for our trip back in June and since then I've been buying fabric without time to sew any of it, lol...

Don't know what number I make but I have two semesters left to have my RN. There is no way at all I have the time to do anything right now!!! Between kids and traveling to school and doctors I barely have time to study!! Good luck to all the other students-- it will be worth it all in the end!!!

Aww that is absolutely precious amieeg. I LOVE the blue fabrics! I am seriously wondering if you ever sleep though lol.

For the straps, I cut elastic the length that I want the strap. I make the fabric for the strap double the length of the elastic. (sewing right sides together and turning the strap right side out) Insert the elastic and secure the ends. I like the straps this way, no need for buttons! There is plenty of "give" for easy dressing! (Hope my directions make sense!)

I've copied you on the straps! It looks so nice and they stay up on her little shoulders better with the elastic. I love that tink outfit!

Right ON! That crab looks a leeetle on the tricky side! I 've only done a mickey head applique and thought I'd stick to iron-ons!

The outfit is so cute and I love the fabric!!!! Hope she doesn't act "crabby" sad2: )

Well, not tonight. I am in Mermaid heaven. Last night I got 9 hours and 45 minutes. Hope that makes everyone feel better about my sleeping habbits! I did these dresses for the most part on Thursday when my oldest was at school.

Wednesday we picked everything out. I had everything already but, I laid it out on the dining room table. Hannah helped pick the trims and the order fabric went in. She supervised the cutting. She is also in charge of the pin cushin. Hannah is an extremly destructive child. She likes to see how things are made and how they work. Sewing has been great for her. She loves to sit on my lap when I am using the serger. Although, the little stinker took the foot off my machine tonight!

After I got her dressed for school on Thursday Hannah came in the kitchen. I was getting her lunch box. She looked up at me and said Thank you for making my dress Mommy. It is beautiful! It was not one of those forced, "What do you say?" It was genuine. That is why I am in Mermaid heaven tonight. Hopefully it will not turn into Mermaid @#$$^%$%Q@$^%^.

With that I am off to bed. Have a great Saturday everyone. I will post Crab-tastic pics tomorrow. That's not going to get old. hehehehe

I'm finally working on the autograph books. I have the 5 X 7 book and I've covered the front and back with fabric. I "glued" the fabric on using Mod Podge and I've gone over each piece with two coats. Tomorrow the kiddies will be adding the scrapbook stickers that they picked out at Joann's. Should I use ModPodge as my "glue" for these items too? I plan on sealing them using ModPodge and Acrylic Sealer. The "stickers" are raised (3d) and I'm curious as to what tool to use to apply the ModPodge. I used a sponge brush on the fabric, but I'm scared that would ruin the raised portions of the "stickers". Does anyone have advise?

Are princesses supposed to make these faces??

I swear I have a Tinkerbell pin exactly like this!!!!


HAVE FUN!!! That is one sweet outfit and bow!!!

Sometimes the modpodge gets sticky. I modpodged the inside of my book because I also used scrapbook paper inside mine for an inside cover. And the first page is a TITLE page. Well, sometimes my title page kinda sticks to the inside cover. I didn't modpodge any of the inside embellishments. I cant post a inside picture of it because it's goodness-knows-where! Sorry!


But even though mine sticks a little, it's not damaged or torn at all from the sticking. Maybe try one page and see? For an obscure character

I have to steal this strap idea too....I hate how her straps fall off her shoulders on some of her tops I made, and I dont want to make them smaller for fear of not being able to get the on and off of her!

Here she realizes I'm actually planning to go inside with her!!! :

I am so dreading see that exact face next fall when My DD starts!

Are princesses supposed to make these faces??

I have seen that face in my house too....alot some weeks! Hope you have a great trip!!

 

[dance2874]

Is there a place online I can look up patterns so I dont have to do it at the stores in the books? (preferrable mccalls because they are on sale) I have to take DD with me to the fabric store today and dont want to have to sit ther ewith her while I try to find what I need. I want to make her a Jasmine outfit...as she has told me several times it is the only one she doesnt have yet

I also want to pick up the Alice pattern too...she doesnt have that yet and has been watching that movie over and over again for about 2 weeks.

Just wanted to encourage all the nursing students on this thread! I'm sure you'll all be awesome nurses and goodness knows we need more of those!

I've been a NICU nurse for 7 years now and I love it! I does cut into the sewing time, though, LOL!

Good luck to you all and have fun with all of those nursing diagnoses!

gee...thanks...
here's one for me...
Impaired mental status related to 2 screaming kids as evidenced by continuously taking them into public places despite their inability to behave.

I love that face!

Ok, get that child up so we can see it!!!!

I think the outfit is adorable! And why is it that we all think it's adorable when "other" people's girls do this? But it's not funny when our's does it!?

I love the ricrac trim on the bottom and the colors look so good together! I agree that the crab looks very tricky. You are very brave my friend!

Is there a place online I can look up patterns so I dont have to do it at the stores in the books?

Yep, I do it all the time! And you never know if your store will have the books, someone may have sold them!!!

I'm cracking up picturing Megan hopping around in the mermaid outfit!!!
When I was younger, I use to tell everyone that I was going to be a mermaid at Weeki Wachee. I use to love going there! We had a pool at home, and I would practice swimming around with my legs tied together with a piece of shoelace! Unfortunately, I wasn't that young when I did that!

I used to do the same thing when we visited my grandmother's retirement community and we got to swim in a pool! I loved Weeki Wachee when I was a kid. I am sure all the seniors thought I was nuts!

Oh my goodness! That is an awesome costume!!! What kind of fabric is that? Is like swimsuit material? It's very shimmery - perfect for a mermaid! And your DD is a gorgeous mermaid!

It is purple sparkly swimsuit material. My mother actually made swimsuit bottoms so it would be useful as well as gorgeous but either my dad lost them packing them or we did unpacking. I never saw them.

Whoo hoo! I have to tell someone! I totally just made a Mike from Monsters costume. My best friend was looking for one and the one she wanted went to $50 already on ebay or whatever we call it. So tonight I have made one! I am so excited! She is fast asleep though so can't share my joy!

I wanna see too!

Arminda and Lydia are now both BEGGING me to make them this outfit! Then, they saw me looking at the Weeki Wachee site, and they want to wear the outfits there!

I'll e-mail my mom and ask what pattern she used. I don't think it was hard, except the end of the tail was tricky she said.

Are princesses supposed to make these faces??

I call that the "princess pout" and I think all princesses make it! That outfit is just stunning: have a great time!

I love it! I really like the blue and orange together: it's very striking. And not that I have an occasion to make a crab, but I think I'll leave the sea creature appliqués to you! I love the buttons for the eyes.

Hey everyone -- just letting you know I am still here, lurking here and there. I've been too busy to sew and my fabric stash keeps growing. I did want to share what happened this week at DD's school. Thursday was the school's yearly back to school picnic. All of the teachers came up to me and asked where I was buying DD's clothes because everything she had been wearing to school was so cute. When I told them that I made them, they could not believe it. This made me feel really proud (since I've only been sewing for about 2 months, I also thought "Thank goodness, they are not looking at the inside of the outfits (not too pretty)). Anyway -- if that's not encouragement for a newbie, I don't know what it.

Also, OT, DH swapped one of "his toys" for a boat -- so we've been driving to the river every day. Actually, we will be off in about 10 minutes. We're thinking of names -- right now "Still Afloat" is in the lead. (Does this call for a custom outfit for DD?) --


KEEP UP ALL THE HARD WORK!! I've loved all the custom autograph books lately -- wonderful!!

I agree that it's inspiring when someone admires your work. Especially when they do so before they know you made it.

I think the new boat does call for a new custom for your dd!!

Sorry, I just had to throw in that nursing diagnosis part. I think care plans are the worst part of nursing school! It's worth it, though, I promise!

I really admire all of you who are going back to school and have kids at home, a household to run, etc. You are superheroes!
