I love it!! I have seen that beautiful fabric and I always want to buy it! I think your DD looks adorable and the ruffles look perfect to me!
OMG, I am not even going to attempt to catch up on here, but Maureen told me to check this out and I LOVE IT
There is not a single day that goes by that dd2 doesn't ask everyone in the house "are you going to ride the peter pan ride with me" Most often those are the first words out of her mouth when her feet hit the floor. I MUST make her one like this!!!! I just hope I can find that fabric or something similiar.
Deann, if you can't find the material let me know, I can add it along with the other things I'm sending you.
I love it!!! (smilies courtes of Arminda! She also noticed your weight loss ticker and we are BOTH impressed!!! Way to go!) I bet you that by the end of the summer, the length will be perfect!! I like it as it is too! You really did a great job. I picked up some of that fabric at our Walmart the other day.
That sounds like a good plan! My Walmart closed their fabric dept. so my odds aren't so good! I was going to ask Maureen to get me some, but if you can get me 2yds, that would be great!
Hey Disboutiquers! I always stop over here and look at the things you have made. You all do beautiful work! I make boutique items also, but with 2 boys, I don't take a lot of pics, lol! I would really like to do some things for my boys for our next trip. They are 6 & 3. Any ideas? Last year, I put a big mickey applique on a pair of overalls for each of them. They were really cute when they wore their ears! I absolutely love the Peter Pan dress HeatherSue, I would love to just put Peter like you have him maybe on a blue shirt. Anyway, after lingering for a while, I just thought I would post!
Consider it done.
Did you want that this year though???
Well, I wasn't going to say anything.... But I'd like to have it before June
I HATE to cut fabric, so I sat down and cut out the fabric for 7 different outfits a few days ago. So far, I've completed this one, and a matching Build-A-Bear dress. Tessa's going to wear this on the day that Sawyer wears his Peter Pan costume and Lydia will wear a Tinkerbell dress. I frankenpatterned the portrait peasant top for the top and CarlaC's a-line jumper for the bottom half. I don't have a picture of Tessa modeling it yet. It fits like a long shirt and she'll wear some capris under it.
Here's Nana on the back:
I'm almost done with a minnie dot jumper (and matching Build-A-Bear dress), too. Hopefully I'll finish them today.
My record is 4!
Thanks so much for the compliments on the Peter Pan dress! Tessa wanted all of those characters on her outfit, but I didn't want to piece together a bunch of appliques. So, I got the idea for the silhouettes while we were watching the movie. The silhouettes were easier than I thought they would be! I'm working on making a picture-heavy applique tutorial. I'm trying to spell out each step carefully to make it as easy as possible for beginners. When I get it done, I'll post it here.
The link Aimee just posted is for a Trip Report!! YAY! I love me a TR!!
Barbara update: She just called me and told me that the sonogram they did on her left breast a few days ago was clear. The cancer they have already found is in her right breast.
After Teresa forwarded a very helpful PM from CampbellScott (thank you so much). to me, I called and made Barbara an appointment with an oncologist at our local cancer center. Then, I called her and let her know she had an appointment. She seemed really glad that I did that for her. I didn't want to overstep the boundaries, but I also really wanted her to see an oncologist. Barbara is mildly mentally challenged and also deaf, so it's really hard for her to communicate with doctors. My brother is really stressed out about everything and doesn't seem to know what to do. So, I really hope they don't mind us "interfering".
I went back and read all the well-wishes and prayers that are being sent our way. You guys are so wonderful.
Hey Heather! I found a purse for you!

The internet is a strange place....
I guess it's time for me to take a break from the Dis, for a while.
I had a mean baby sitter who put me off of clowns and sock monkeys too...she told me their mouths were red b/c they ate children.
To THIS DAY, clowns freak me out. I can't look at them.
good thing I have a good therapist...
