Ok, I am back!
Shannon, my mom called me yesterday to ask if she could make a tie for Jacob when I realized that I don't have anything for him to wear for Easter either! I think he will just wear a polo and khakis like every Sunday because it just doesn't make much sense to buy an outfit he will only wear once. At least with a dress Megan will wear it more!
Good luck at the mall! I am headed to Target this morning to go Easter shopping. I hope there's stuff left!
QUESTION
Could you use ribbon to hem off something? I need to hem off a patchwork dress and I don't have enough bias tape and I really don't want to add an extra ruffle to do the fold over hem. I could fold over the last row but I think I need those extra 2 inches of legnth.
Hey Guys! I wanted to update everyone and let you know that Becca is still in the hospital recovering from brain surgery. She is on day 60 something now. Seems like it has been forever!
I would love it if we could start another round of cards or pictures the kids drew for her. I bet it would really lift her spirits!
And Jakob's Mom - Dmbfan - has started her trip report. She has posted a ton of cute pictures of Jakob and Hannah! Go check them all out! Sounds like they had a great trip!

I just looked in my dot stash. I've got yellow in the small dots, but not the larger dots. I got mine at Joanns.Does anyone know if this fabric comes in yellow?
K.. you asked for it!

I love, love, love the castle bed! I'm putting my order in for 3 beds please.
I think they have them at Joanns? I can check the next time I am there.
Today is Kirsten's Easter Egg hunt at her school, and I made her a skirt to go with the shirt that I got from Target after Easter last year.
Here's my dd modeling it before school this morning..
Not the best picture, but here is one of ds and dd...
Hi ladies, I've been lurking for a while, but I waited to post until I had something to share! I first discovered you in 2006 when we had our first trip. I designed a couple of outfits for my dds, but my mom sewed most of it, so I didn't learn a lot. I then left sewing behind until the next year (2007). I tried to make some drawstring bags w/o any directions on my own, but I messed up and they became pillowcases. I use one to hold diapers in the diaper bag, but the rest are unused right now. However, they are big enough for some travel size pillows and can be used as pillowcases. I did not sew at all in 2008, and this year I found all of you again and was again inspired to sew. I have 3 princesses, and all of you have kept me motivated when I've felt like giving up! You're awesome!
Here are some photos of the outfits I designed in 2006.
This is our Minnie Mouse dress:
This is a Tink shirt and another view of Minnie:
Here you can see that the shoulder ribbons for Tink kept slipping down. I wanted it to look reminiscent of Tink's wings. I don't think my dd thought this outfit was too comfy either.
My recent project of this year was a pair of pajama pants. I used a Simplicity It's So Easy pattern. Ha! I really struggled with it. I could do another now easily, but the first time, yikes! I hate patterns, and I think I may follow all of you toward YCMT.
Here is dd showing that the pants have pockets.
I want to make a skirt or dress for my next dd. I need something really simple. What would you recommend on YCMT?
Here are the girls' Easter dresses! I think that they turned out wonderfully! they might even be my favorite dresses to date! I just love the fabric!!!!!!
Ane here is Kaitlyn's ( she wasn't in the mood to model for me yet this morning)
I'm not sure if I would do that simply because I'd be unsure of the ribbon running when washed, or if it would wrinkle up badly when washed. Other than that, I guess it would work.
I was just thinking about sending something new to Becca but I wasn't sure if the mailing information I have is still correct. I think a new round of cards and pictures is a great idea! I have really been enjoying all of the photos from Jake's trip! If you haven't seen them, take a minute to peek.
