This is very cute. I love it.
I love those fabrics together. Never too many pictures. Is that a You can make this pattern? How do those work? Do you print them out at home? Do you end up having to tape pieces together? DO you have to enlarge them yourself? HMM sorry to ask so many questions. It turned out really cute. I have to find some of that glow in the dark rick rack.
Yep, this is the YCMT pattern. It was truly very easy to do! It goes together so nicely! When cutting it out, I cut out squares of fabric first, and then stacked them up and cut about 5 pieces out at a time. It is a bit time consuming and monotonous to keep sewing the same thing over and over, but it wasn't hard.
I also wanted to mention that I added a yoke to the top of the pattern. The YCMT pattern didn't have that. I just didn't have enough of the blue sparkles to make it as full as I wanted, so I made it with a shorter spiral and then added the yoke so it wouldn't be too short.
HOW did these people find my husband?! He used to stand up on the balcony at our local Meijer store when he was a teenager and yell to my mom "Barbara, Barbara, don't leave me. I love you." He still likes to embarass me with any cylindrical shaped vegetable in the produce department.
See guys??? I TOLD you it sounded like my brother in law!
As much as I enjoy basking in your
, that was my wonderful sister who posted those patterns! But, we think so much alike, we're practically the same person!
I am called Heather so much in real life (even by people who don't even really know HEATHER but see me several times a week1
) that I don't correct people much anymore, and just take any compliment thrown her way for myself too!
Like she said, we think so much alike we really are practically the same person!
That's my fabric!!! I am working on a Cinderella themed outfit with that pumpkin fabric. I absolutely love what you've done with it! Hopefully I'll get mine done one of these days.
NO that's MY fabric!
I think it's time for a new rule NO APOLOGIZING FOR YOUR CHILD'S HAIR!!
I have yet to see a child on here that is anything other than stunningly beautiful, whether their hair is disheveled, wet, or downright ratty! So, just go ahead and say "Look at my absolutely gorgeous child in their fabulous creation".
I couldn't agree more, and was wondering when you would make this a rule!!!
Really guys, we don't care if you kid has messy hair! They are ALL beautiful!!!!
I am SUCH a sap! I'm getting teary looking at the pictures of my beautiful nieces. I just love them so much! You did such a wonderful job on this outfit. I absolutely love the glow in the dark ric-rac and the spiral sleeves! I also love how well-pressed it looks!
Awwww, you are the bestest sister and bestest Aunt in the whole entire world!!! (Besides me that is)
Yah, I knew you guys would miss me.
TJ- NO, that would be cool, but the jumper was LILY'S. Still, I'm totally down w/ repurposing stuff.
Well, you see I was all teary eyed seeing you posting again that I couldn't see straight to read your post carefully enough!! I told my husband how excited I was that you were back, and he just looked at me like he was a little worried! (right now he just told me that he is going to leave the house because I'm "clicking too much"!)[/quote]
Teresajoys little baby sister Heathersue said:
Teresa, I remember you printing out a pattern for some little pants or something for kids in Russian orphanages once. Do you remember what I'm talking about? They were like footed overalls that tie on the shoulders.
They stopped doing that right after I was all set to start!
Did someone say Mackinaw Island FUDGE?
You know the only thing better than Mackinaw Island fudge is Frankenmuth Fudge! (And Frankenmuth is easier to get to
)
Cindee
Hey, if you were there, I'd go over to Frankenmuth!
God bless all you mothers and grandmothers and all of the adopted and waiting to be adopted children
PS I donate money every payday through our united way to the adoption agency that DD used as they give 85% of my donation directly to the orphanages....it isn't much, but every penny helps.
Susan, thank you thank you thank you for sharing this story!
I also have a sewing related question. How do you keep the bobbin thread from unraveling off the bobbin when you are storing them? My "bobbin bin" is a mess of tangled thread and it's driving me nuts. Any tips?
When Tracy (our cousin) gave me Aunt Marilyn's sewing machinge (to borrow) all of her bobbins had a tiny little rubberband on them. Like the kind you would use in Tessa's hair. They really stayed nice and neat that way. Although the rubberbands were a little hard to take off. I think that's becasue it hadn't been used in so long though.
Hello everyone. I just wanted to check in and let you know everything is going well here. DH is home and baby is doing wonderful. I'm off all restrictions and should be in the clear with this little one. I've spent the last few days resting, hanging out with my family, etc. The internet when down for a while so I have some catching up to do!
You guys are making some lovely creations! Keep it up!!!!!!!
I can't tell you how many prayers I have said for you and your little one! I am so happy to hear that everything is ok!
I got it at Wal-mart
Hope it's ok to say the store name, not sure.
Yep, you can say store names! Just don't like to any Ebay auctions or give "hints" to find any Ebay auctions.
Thanks everyone! I have checked out the first page and the links too. I tried cutting some mickey heads out of extra fabric last nite and attaching to heating bond. I then stitched around the edges. Lets just say it did not turn out pretty. Am I going about this the right way? I didn't print and go directly by the links. Maybe I should try that.
I have never appliqued, but I know everyone has said to make sure you are using the heat and bond lite. Make sure you show us what you did, we like to see pictures!
Ask and you shall receive. I put it under "crafts" and under "sewing". There's some cool free stuff on there. Thanks for the Christmas gift ideas!
My sister and her husband are installing a new patio door on their house today. I hope she doesn't mind me saying this, but they're not real handy.
She needs our good thoughts today!!
Actually, Brian ended having to go into work yesterday. Someone's friend was in a car accident and they had to go to the funeral.
So, we didn't get the window in. However, we did get the window put into his van. (Remember someone broke into it the other week). So, we did get something done.
I doubt we will try the patio door today, since it is cold, windy and raining.
Yeah, we aren't real handy, so I was hoping he would call one of his brothers or someone to come over and help him.
Hi everyone,
I don't know if any of you remember me, but I used to post here fairly regularly before summer. With the girls home, though, it just got too hard for me to keep up. Then, I had a slight ToonTown addiction that kept me off the boards for a couple of weeks too. Anyway, I would come on as often as I could and just scan the board looking at the pictures. Ya'll have been doing some really good work. Props to everyone. I know I won't ever catch up, and I haven't been sewing a whole lot (except for some pirate outfits I made for our cruise). I hope to get started again soon though.
Anyway, t-beri, you are the reason I am coming out of lurkdom. My girls enjoy pin trading and looking for hidden Mickeys, too. If you have the pins and the book, those activities don't cost anything either. I don't know if you have pins or the hidden Mickey book; but if not, I'd like to send you some. I don't have a lot of pins; but if you send me your address, I will get a couple in the mail to you. I also have the hidden mickey book. It has a section on HMs at the resorts. Anyway, if you are interested, PM me your address, okay. I can still get it in the mail to you before you leave.
Of course we remember you!!!!!! Glad to see you posting again! And, wow, how generous you are!!!! I would add some smilies here, but I'm sure I'm over the image limit for this post, so just know there would be several dancing bananas her and big hug smiley!
Too cute to make small! Fabulous skirt!
Awww, Thank you!!!!
Okay, I've heard a couple of you mention the rolled hem foot and I know I have one but I have no idea what to do with it. I need a remedial home ec class but in the meen time, would someone explain what this is and how to use it. Thanks! You guys are great teachers.
By the way, I bought a clear embroidery/applique foot today. Let's hope I can figure out how to get it on the machine!
Here is a great video demo of the rolled hem foot (not to be confused with the roller foot!)

I had always wanted to be a grandma and it was heartbreaking to me knowing that my DD would never have the joy of carrying a child, but she has the joy of our Nicholas, the joy of providing a life to a child who so deserved this life in America with love and comfort and security...
Wow, thanks for the pictures!
So I've been working on some outfits for my girls to wear to Disney...so what do you think?
I love them!!! Your daughters are cuties!!!
Hi ladies, I haven't read in a while, but am going to get started again soon. We just booked our trip for Jan/Feb. So, I'm going to get started on outfits soon.
I know this is just totally a dream, but does anyone know if you can find the fabric with the faces that everyone uses for Epcot outfits (I can't remember the name) anywhere. Or anyone know what the name is so I can start stalking ebay? I really want some!!! I'd love to use it to make dd an outfit and maybe shorts for ds? TIA!!!!
I think Deann allready answered you (Hancock's), but just wanted to say it was nice to see you here!
I wish there was some way to let them know what a gift she is, how much we love her and how amazing she is.
Giving birth to my sons was amazing but to be able to experience the miracle of adoption as well has been a tremendous gift.
Hi Angel!!!! Great to see you here too!!!
I bet Gracie's birthparents know.
this is an outfit I made for my daughter.
Aww, that is cute!!!!
