Marah text me this afternoon asking if I can please ask you all to pray for her girls. Something happend on their trip and it is not going so well. I think if we all send so pixi dust that way it just might help. Nothing seems to be going right for them. Thank you for your help thoughts and prayers.
Melissa
I pray everything is ok with Marah!
HEY!! If you wanna squeeze me into your room, I can be your medical excuse for a fridge! I have several medical issues you could pick from too! This could really work out!

It's not Halloween, but it is a fall dress: my first precious dress; went pretty smoothly when I wasn't trying to sew at 3am; I'm going to shorten the apron a bit. The headband is from the free YCMT pattern, and the fabric just came into Joanns. (I still need to clip some threads on the apron)
So cute!!! I love that fabric! I think it will look even better with a shorter apron so you can see more of the brown fabric. It really looks pretty on your daughter!
Hey gals! Matt decided on Sunday to move our trip up. We leave Aug. 24!
I have been sewing the past couple of days, pretty well only time I've had my machine out all summer. I made this for me last night. It calls for a drawstring right below bust. I'm afraid I'll mess it up, but the bust isn't quite right. It may fix it. What do you think?
I think it looks really pretty on you!
AAHH!! I've been trying to not listen about the AG QVC sale! DD got Samantha for Easter and I made a ton of clothes for her including a white pleather rain coat that was super cute! I've actually started to use the clothes that they've grown out of for fabric and have saved so much money.
Here's the bathing suit I made out of a pair of pants and the Samantha chairs I found at Savers for $12 (reg $80)
I think DH would kill me if we bought one more thing!
I love all the AG outfits!!! I NEEEEED to make outfits for my girls' dolls!
: Thank you! Those are the front and back of one dress. I have similar ideas I want to try... whenever I have time to make something new
I can't even remember the last time I sewed for myself. I keep thinking how simple it would be to make a tee or peasant top for myself but that's as far as I've gone. I need to start updating my wardrobe, though, since I'm going to try to get back on the job search 'wagon' once school starts. I have a few things that are office appropriate but very basic and boring.
Rumor has it that Carla will be coming out with a cute peasant top pattern soon!
No Teresa I do not think I will dye it. There are several people that you do not want to make mad.
Like your dentist before a root canal, or say your seamstress before a 9 day trip to Disney World!
I couldn't help laughing at that!!!
PhEW! I'm relieved! I thought I might have to drive over there and confiscate that dress from you!
I finally got around to taking pictures of Gracie's Tink outfit so I wanted to share pictures.
I love that Angel!!!Did Cree make it? Those wings are so cool!
I finished part one of the vida sew along, for anyone who is interested. Here is a sneak preview of the amazing photography skills involved:

YEAH!!! Thanks Steph!!! I'm sure you have just made a lot of people very happy!
Well, first off, thanks for the nice post! It's fun to run across my customers. I actually found one in the Liberty Tree Tavern last December. I recognized the dresses her daughters were wearing! Your daughter is adorable, thank you for posting the pictures!
I don't know how much you sew, but I do consider Cinderella 9383 to be one of the most complicated costume patterns I've ever used. I don't think your daughter is too young, but if you decide to tackle it, give yourself PLENTY of time. My daughter wsas 4 when I did it for the first time, and it's still one of my favorite costumes. I did it again last year, but it's a HUGE project.
It is very important that it fit well, or the sleeves will slide right off her shoulders. If you have questions as you tackle it, feel free to drop me a line.
I do consider the other princess costume patterns to be an easier level of sewing.
Here's that pattern in 2 versions:
Your daughter looks adorable in this!!! I love the way you put the bow on the back of the second one.
I made the same dress for AKsunshine's daughter. She has some pictures of her daughter in it in her TR.
I did change the top though, because I didn't like how low it was. I just made the neckline a bit higher. I plan on making Lydia one one of these days!
Here is Lydia modeling the one I made for Isabelle. She wouldn't put a petti on under it, and I didn't feel like arguing with her about it!
thanks, Id like to do both eventually. so far I have only worked with cottons
Hannah's quilt on the bed..
Wow!! I guess I KNEW how big the quilt was, but for some reason I didn't realize how big it was!! That had to be SOOOO much work! But, it turned out beautifully!
OT Topic alert!!!
Please send a few extra prayers and pixie dust out for my son and his wife (parents of my one and only DG2) They just became the proud parents (even though it may be only temporary) to her sister's 18 month old and 6 month old sons!
Bio Mommie Dearest failed a mandatory drug test and DFACS took the kiddies away. Not sure how this will effect our Disney rip in September, but really glad the two little ones are out of the situation they were in!
(hmmm...maybe a few shirts and easy fits for the boys...it's doable...right?)
Nini
Wow, I'm so sorry for your family, but so glad the children are in a safe loving home now.
If I shouldn't post it, I will delete it. Let me know.
I've seen that outfit, and I think it is adorable!
Adorable Outfits!!
I am working on some birthday gifts for my nieces. They are both turning 1 year old. I was thinking about making stripwork skirt for one of them.
What do you think?? When DD was that little I didn't put dresses or skirts on her because she would get all tangled up in them when she crawled.
Is 1 year old too little for a skirt?
My girls have always worn dresses, so I say go for it!
I always had my daughter in dresses. When she learned how to crawl, she "crawled" on her hands and toes...that is how she figured out how to not get all caught up in her dresses.
I did feel bad at times and put her in pants or shorts, just so she could figure out how to crawl like the other children
Anyway, she turned out just fine, and can negotiate a pettiskirt on the playground, and on all of the rides at Disney, so I think that the dresses when she were little were just good "in training" for her future
You cracky me up Maureen!
I am doing a mini give for a fellow disser. Here are the outfits I made the little one in her
I'm waiting for some chiffon to come in so I can make a petti--then it is off in the mail!
Wow Piper, you have been busy!!! Great job!!!
Hi, I am new here!
I have 2 DD's 5 and 2. We are going to Disney for Thanksgiving week!!! This is DD5's second trip and technically DD2's second trip, since I was preggo with her the first time!
You all have been so inspiring me to get on some clothes for the kids!
Someone mentioned someone having digital designs. I have an embroidery machine and would love to see what they have! (If you get my inuendos here!)
I have a Viking so I need HUS files or I can convert PES.
If you know who, can you send me either a link or an email with contact info, my address is msumissa @ yahoo.com (without the spaces!)
Thanks so much. I look forward to posting.
I just made a twirl skirt this week for my DD5 with frog princes on it. (Practice!)
OK, I am an idiot and re read the first post about HeatherSue. Please ignore me now!
!!!
