howdy.. any good sewing places by you?Hey neighbor!
that would be cute... and let me say i have done that also many timesAack!!!! What should I do? I made Halloween patchwork skirts for DD5 and DD4. I added Mickey heads to the tops. While trimming the threads, I accidentally put a small hole in the fabric with the scissors. The hole it above the small Mickey head, so kind of in the middle left front of the shirt. Can anything be done?!?!
I thought about putting ric-rac around the shirts and adding it to the bottom of the skirts. But that's a lot of ric-rac. Any other suggestions? I thought the skirts might need something anyway. I do have white irridescent ric-rac. It's kind of bright on the tops, but seems to match the sparkles in the Boo fabric and the spider fabric.
Here's a pic of one skirt and both tops.

One skirt layed out so you can see it better.

the hobby lobby is at The District i can't go there unless i have money you could go crazy i still have not made it through the whole store....Not many! There is a Cotton Shop on 9400 S. and 700 E. My DS4 goes to pre-school in Draper so I go to the newish mega Joanns on 123rd. I think I read earlier that you and Utah Mama discovered a Hobby Lobby? Where was it? How was it? Never heard of it until this board. I'm afraid to go because I have been spending too much money! Any other recommendations? Even the Hancocks by me has closed.
that is such a good idea i could have done that with my last outfit i ruined... see you learn something new everyday..Very cute! As for the hole, I would just pinch it together and stitch it up from the backside with black thread. Just pinch it in and stitch as close to the edge as you can without it pulling out. Since it is black it won't be as obvious. But you will probably get some amazing better suggestions! These people here are good! I'm just a learner!
That's not how I read it.... Anyway what about past auctions?...I was about to post about one that ended several days ago... Oh heck here it is anyway...
Does anyone know what was so special about this outfit for it going so high? $736 ouch!
Deleted link even though it is old and no longer for sale on ebay, because I just might get into trouble...
Here is what I accomplished due to the fact that it snowed most of the day Saturday (no yardwork, cancelled soccer games, too cold to go outside etc.) And I did it all without leaving the house. I bought some patterns on YCMT and had the fabric in my stash. I only had one pack of Mickey head scrapbook buttons though, so I thought I'd just stick a yellow one on there until I got back to the store for another set, but now the mismatched look is starting to grow on me. The mini buttons worked perfect for the matching doll outfit. Unfortunately that is her sister's doll. I'm thinking Santa may have to bring her her own Bitty Baby. I took her on errands today and she got a LOT of attention, so I'm wondering if it might be a bit too much. One lady in line at Walmart asked if I made it for her and I said "yes" and she said "I knew you were a good mother!"![]()

At least I got her to look at the camera! She never holds still. I took the first picture and she yelled "TA DAH!"

I got my model to cooperate, somewhat. So, here's what I've been working on for the last week or 2 (I can't figure out how some of you whip them up so quickly)!
Yes they do! Seriously it is very awesome. You can check out the sneak peek screenshot tour.I just got back from DL and so far behind on these threads!
I just learned how to knit and I tought myself to crochet before our trip to make a pirate hat for DD. I will post pics of that soon, we just got back and I am pooped!
I will have to check out the website above, do they do crochet as well?
I'm sorry is it by the mickey head? If so is it close enough to cover with a Minnie bow? That would be my solution.Aack!!!! What should I do? I made Halloween patchwork skirts for DD5 and DD4.

I have finally broken down and dusted off my sewing machineI will now attempt to sew an article of clothing- a feat never done before- I've only made blankets and stuff. So here I go. I will definetly need some practicing!!! Wish me luck!!

I forgot the whiskers, but the pants were already stitched back up by the time I realized this. Oh well! Hello Kitty was actually easier thean the pre-made princess panels! It's not purrfect but not bad either!
I am in awe, I have no desire to make anything that requires seem ripping jeans!!! And I could eat you DD up!!!I got my model to cooperate, somewhat. So, here's what I've been working on for the last week or 2 (I can't figure out how some of you whip them up so quickly)!

hi aimeeg!!
i did a pillowcase dress as my first thing, it was soooooo easy, and the girls got comments on the simple dress - give it a try!!!!
now i want to try a twirl skirt, still working up the nerve - got some fabric today, but just dont understand the whole ruffler foot thing!!!!
here is hannah in her minnie pillowcase dress!! the black minnie head, is actually one those patches that you can iron on to mend jeans and stuff, then i made a little polkadot bow and just hand stitched it on - the ruffle at the bottom was bought premade off a bolt at walmart and the rickrack was in a package - all simple!!!
