So I know this awesome lady who is really super creative. She created an ebook and I had the fantastic oppertunity to test it out for her. If I didn't test it, I would totally buy it here..

here is what I made. I totally love it. you can make it look dressy boutiqueish or dress it down with jeans and a Tshirt under it.
Hello all! I am enjoying reading and looking at at all the wonderful pictures. Love the Friends Around the World outfit; it looks like a winner to me!
I was working on an elastic back option for kid pants and finished the tutorial HERE. Hope this help someone!
I want to thank Kathy - dis Id NaeNae for helping me with these! She was a super help!! thank you...
I decided to go with the gerber cloth diapers... sadly walmart was all out.. so had to go to Babies r us but I got them done! woo hoo! I hope the mommy likes them...... My first time ever doing these

Well... seems like all I get is bad news lately. or at least the bad over rides the good.
I think I told you all that when I went to my mom's to help out with my step dad my mom had been sick. she thought it was just a cold a really really bad cold. She went to the dr it was Bronchitis that was a few weeks ago. last week she got worse. Went to the dr for a MRI, they found a lump on her lung. They did surgery yesterday and a PET scan to find out if its cancerous or not. She is at the specialist office today. I haven't heard from her yet.
Please keep her in your prayers. thanks, I know there is so much love on this board.
Look at Baby Abby in her dress! I am a proud Auntie!
I am closing in the outfits for DL. We leave Sat afternoon. I still have 2 capri with cuff and belts in red dots and two shirts for DH. The on the wish list is a kimono style dress shirt for the DS BFF.
Jeanne, It was so nice of you to make the original shirt for Hunter. We liked them so much I made them for the others. Thank you again.
Linnette helped me with this dress and we got it done in an evening. After a few adjustments. Don't make this with a ribbed knit top, it doesn't work well as you can see.
Well here it is. My first completed applique with my new embroidery machine!! I am working on an UP outfit for my son also. I work at Gymboree so I just did this one real quick to go with a pair of knits shorts from the mermaid magic line. I am pretty happy with the results. It's one of Dena's designs. The pic is kinda blurry but you guys get the idea.
Size Question for a simply sweet halter
Sophia is in between sizes should I go up a size or down??

You ladies have been busy! I am loving all the new creations everyone has made. They're all gorgeous!
I haven't been around lately or sewing much lately, but I did make a blankt and taggie for my cousins baby Ava.

I love this outfit; the top really makes the whole thing come together and work; so unique and I love, love the applique!Okay I am still trying to decide if I like the skirt or not. It seemed like a great idea in my head, but in reality it totally clashes with itself..... it is at least 50 different prints and the only thing they have in common is that they are all Disney, none of the colors or tones are similar.
Taylor was watching an old Disney VHS and there was a preview that talked about how it all started with a mouse, then it panned out to hundreds of small pixel like squares and then slowly zoomed in revealing different disney movies/characters. I was trying to capture that idea, but I don't know if I was able to pull it off, it may just be a few too many different colors.
I couldn't really get any good pics, taylor was not in a posing mood....she kept doing this before my camera would flash
Here you might be able to see the outfit better since she wouldn't hold still.
Oh hon... we're praying!Well... seems like all I get is bad news lately. or at least the bad over rides the good.

gorgeous; a vision of pink perfection!Look at Baby Abby in her dress! I am a proud Auntie!
these are great; and it looks like snow white is all grown up! Second the emotion of keeping your head in the pics!I am closing in the outfits for DL. We leave Sat afternoon.

This outfit is really gorgeous! I think I'm gonna have to break down and buy that pattern for the top; I really, really love your choice of fabrics and how you brought the applique to the shorts; perfect!Hello all!

Tifani you cracky me up expecting this baby to come so early! Just enjoy yourself, that baby will be here soon enough!Ok, still no baby. I don't think it's ever coming. To be fair I'm not due for 12 more days but still....
...t.
Aww, look how cute she is!!! Great job Kelly!
Oh no! I hope your Mom heals up quickly!! My Grandma doesn't have a knee cap, so apparently, you don't need it! Weird, huh?And my mom called yesterday to tell me that she was a klutz and she shattered her knee cap. She is having surgery today. I am such a total brat, the first thing that I thought of was- how is she going to get around the park in Sept. I didn't say anything to her, but I feel like such a jerk thinking that. If they can repair it, they will, but she will have pins in her knee for 6 months, then another surgery. The other option is removing the knee cap all together- seem like you need that, but apparently, you don't. In that case, she would be OK with just some rehab. She is really pushing for the second option as it has a quicker recovery. I just want her to be OK either way.

Sorry you are having a hard time right now!My life is going bonkers right now - DD (5 mo) is having hearing issues, I have kidney stones and a kidney infection, and DH is deploying. My therapy - SEWING Anyways, I have decided to try some appliques. I want to do Sebastian and Flounder and was sent cutouts from a sheet (thank you Laura!). Should I just put them on the t-shirt or would I be better off using different materials and piecing it together?
Also, I would like to make my youngest dd a shirt and applique a Mickey head on it for the Christmas party... she will be 10 months old when we go, so probably in the size 9-12 months. Does anyone know a good pattern I should use? I've always used Simplicity, Buttericks, and McCalls, but am willing to venture into the YCMT patterns.
TIA

I might try that next time.. never thought of that!!Lori - your finished burp cloths are CUTE!! My favorite burp cloth was dish towels from Wal-Mart. They are similar to a micro-fiber and have a waffle-weave design. They come in a pack of 2 or 3 for about $5. They are double the size of a traditional burp cloth, so you can embroider, sew it in half and you have a traditional size burp cloth, but without your embroidery back-side showing.
I think she will...... I will be mailing them out today, so I will keep you posted!Those are very pretty Lori. I;m sure mom will appreciate them very much.

HUGS!!! I hope you find out that it's not cancer!Well... seems like all I get is bad news lately. or at least the bad over rides the good.

It is definitely worth it for all of the patterns you get. I have seen several dresses made out of the book and they are gorgeous. I love her patterns. She is very detailed. I don't have the book yet. I have patterns coming out of my ears.
Miranda!!! I love your 2nd Boo dress!!! That fabric was so perfect for that. Where did you get the flower one?? Your progress is really amazing. Your hubby will be so lucky to come home to such a great seamstress. Omgosh.. Is he in the Army? I can't remember. There is a really cute embroidery design on sewforum that has combat boots and says "My Hero Wears Combat Boots" on it. I can point you in the direction if you are interested.
Sorry to hear about your mom PrincessKell. I said a prayer for you and your family.
Here is the Sleeping Beauty dress my mom made for when they went to DW. I think I like it better with the ribbon strap thingie. It keeps it up pretty good. She just took the sleeves off of the costume pattern she had. I just did the embroidery.
It is getting short on her now. Guess that means its ruffle time.
I couldnt remember if the collar just stands up, but I turned it down in one of the picture.. it goes up right? oops.. thats why I took another picture. yes, that was the best one I could get. I had to promise her that I would email the picture to Aurora for the first one....
If anyone has her email let me know please.
Awwww adorable!Look at Baby Abby in her dress! I am a proud Auntie!

I made up my own pattern for some board shorts with elastic for Tyler last year. It was pretty easy.
