PRAYER REQUEST
DGD3, Araeyah, is having surgery Monday morning at 11:00. It is suppose to be a 3 hour surgery. She has a submucous (hidden) cleft palate and they are going to correct it and put new tubes into her ears. As far as we know they will be cutting the entire roof of her mouth and then repositioning the muscles and tissue and stitching it up (think Z shape). She can have no straws or sippy cups and has to eat pureed food for 3 weeks. DD is of course very nervous about the length of the surgery. We really hate to see her have to go through this but it is affecting her speech and we feel that the sooner it's fixed the better. TIA

In my T&Ps for a speedy recovery.

There's probably no chance in making that socially acceptable for a 35yo mother of two boys to wear, is it? Probably not. *sigh* no chance of me having girls, and that is the CUTEST skirt style ever! I'm a huge fan of not only butt ruffles, but aprons.

I think this would be fun for a mom... not me but then I haven't done any applique for myself nor even sewn for myself in years.

Thanks again for the feedback on the skirt lengths. I've got all the pattern pieces drafted and measurements double and triple checked. Now comes the hard part - testing each size and trying to write the instructions, create the illustrations and figure out all the other details like yardage needed. BTW - I'm posting my status on this project here so I can hopefully keep on track with it. I found with the first pattern that if I didn't talk about it or keep it on my mental 'To Do' list, it was too easy to let it slide for much too long.

 

[Stephres]

For my pattern, I'm doing sizes 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8. I want the skirts to fall just at or a bit above the knee so I'm working with lengths of 9", 11", 13.5" and 16". Since Zoe doesn't fall within any of those sizes, I thought I'd check here to see if those sound reasonable.

Thanks!!!

I measured Megan and 16" comes right at her knee, and that's where I would expect it to come if I bought that size so I think you are on the right track.

Prayers for all of you. My son had hernia surgery when he was 5, it was one of the scariest times for me. I will pray for a successful surgery and peace for you and DD.

My 25 year old just said she wants one to, she also wants a skirt to her ankle with butt ruffles. I'll bet there are a lot of 20 and 30 somethings that would wear it, not to mention the teens!

I think this would be fun for a mom... not me but then I haven't done any appliqué for myself nor even sewn for myself in years.

I'm so excited that you are moving forward with this, I can't wait to make it!!!


Embroidery Question My machine came last week and I've only had the chance to try two designs but I am having a problem with the bobbin thread showing. Could this be from not having the fabric tight enough in the hoop?

 

[cydswipe]

ok so i showed you these 2- woody & jesse

now - here is my youngest dd's bullseye dress! It is my first twirl. It wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. I made it with waist length simply sweet jumper top with short ties.

love it!

Oh my - what a delicate surgery - prayers for her and you guys as you care for her.

Lisa I have no doubt at all that you will be able to do it!!! Hang in there!! I love the skirt- its so adorable!!!

 

[teresajoy]

I just finished two Ariel dresses for two little sisters!!! While they were both so fun to create, the little 6 month sized one kept me smiling!

This is so cute!

To start I love the princess dresses and Lisazoe your skirt is so adorable, I love ruffles for Ash's dresses.

I finally finished some things I have been working on for a while. The first is sister dresses. I actually already posted the feliz and this shows the baby's dress I made to coordinate with the feliz. Close friends are having a girl and have a 3yr old DD so I wanted to make coordinating dresses and the 3 yr old loves tink.

This is a dress and leggings I made for Ash.

I also am almost done with a G. I. Joe bowling shirt for Tim, but I still need buttons and button holes. I an making the shirt as a surprise for St. Patricks day since it is green. I will post the shirt after I get the buttons done.

I LOVE the Tink dresses!!! How darling!!!
Ash's outfit is cute! I keep wanting to try leggins!

Yes go get more. When I went in I got the last of it here this week & got some in pink too.

OOOH PINK!?! I didn't see that one!

Ok so I showed you these 2- Woody & Jesse

Oh my goodness gracious!!! That is so cute!

More pics on FB.

That turned out great Jessica! It looks so pretty! I need to get started on mine!

For my pattern, I'm doing sizes 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8. I want the skirts to fall just at or a bit above the knee so I'm working with lengths of 9", 11", 13.5" and 16". Since Zoe doesn't fall within any of those sizes, I thought I'd check here to see if those sound reasonable.

That sounds about right. I wish you were going up a size or two though. Lydia is in a 7/8 now, but I fear she won't be for long. I think even Arminda might wear this. Do you think we will be able to scale it up when we get it?

Is anyone else having issues staying logged into the DIS - I've been getting logged out on every computer here (3 of them) and on my mom's computer. When I used to check the stay logged in it would stay logged in permanently, not anymore

YES! And, it's driving me NUTS!!! It will log me out in the middle of typing a post!

I pray the surgery and her recovery goes smoothly.

My daughter has to have a 45 min surgery next month and I'm going bananas. I cant imagine 3 hours. I will say prayers.

On another note, you all have inspired me so much, I have cut out my entire pillowcase dress (done with fabric not a pillowcase haha!) and the lining, and the ruffle....AND all the parts of my twirly skirt for my daughter. Whew. I need a diet coke now.

Tomorrow will be the sewing - THANK You so much everyone for your inspiration - you are all so awesome at sewing, I feel like a baby novice haha!

Vester

I hope your daughter's surgery goes well too!
Have fun sewing!

This turned out so cute! Love it!

Can I ask you guys to remember me in your prayers too? I have been sick for about 3 months. At first I thought it was related to my IBS but I am not getting any better. I have lost quite a bit of weight since December and am very tired. I finally went back to the doctor 2 days ago and he said he is very concerned and thinks the diagnosis of IBS may be wrong. He said I shouldn't be this sick and feels I have become malnourished. (which makes sense since the last week I have only been able to eat plain white rice and bread and have still been getting sick). They are going to send me on to a specialist and run a bunch of tests. I went through a lot of these tests about 11 years ago so I am not looking forward to going through them again, but I also can't function like this anymore. They also found a cancer spot on my face that needs to be removed. He feels like it is the type of cancer that will only grow in that spot and not spread into the rest of my body. I am praying he is right. I have been pretty emotional the last few days and am really trying to trust God and not let fear rule my life, but I must admit, it has been hard. Thanks for letting me vent. I believe in the power of prayer so I figure the more people who pray, the better off I'll be. Thanks for listening.

Embroidery Question My machine came last week and I've only had the chance to try two designs but I am having a problem with the bobbin thread showing. Could this be from not having the fabric tight enough in the hoop?

Usually if I loosen the upper thread tension it fixes this problem. I don't think I've had it happen when I use the embroidery function of my machine but it does happen sometimes when I forget to adjust things for applique.

That sounds about right. I wish you were going up a size or two though. Lydia is in a 7/8 now, but I fear she won't be for long. I think even Arminda might wear this. Do you think we will be able to scale it up when we get it?

I'm considering going to a 10/12 with a length of 18-19" but I need to see how the 7/8 skirt looks (my next test). In the past when I tried to size up my designs the proportions just didn't look quite right once I went past a certain length, especially ruffles.

 

[Diz-Mommy]

I triple love this, beautiful work And a beyond precious little girl

 

[aimeeg]

She is such a doll and the outfit looks so cute on her.



That came out great!

Here's the second test skirt for the Audrey skirt pattern (named in honor of a little girl who must have 'butt ruffles' on most things )

I'm very pleased with how the development of this is going. I used the actual pattern I drafted for this one and only had to tweak a couple things. The next step is to resize the pattern and see how it works.

OMG!!! It's AGM!!!! I just died laughing. I think you found the perfect name for the pattern and I for one cannot wait to buy the pattern.

Hi all! Been super busy! I love the Marie dress it came out adorable! and the Toy Story trio is just darling!

I am glad to see Ollie girl on here! Hi! Big fan on facebook!

Here is what I worked on today. Another Tiana. This one is calico with pretty much the same underskirt as the last. I guess I am pretty happy with it but it's just HUGE on Julia. She is just skinny. She gets lost in these dresses!

I still have to work on another flower. I will do that tomorrow or Sunday.

I did 2 rows of elastic and ties on the back:

More pics on FB.

This is really beautiful. I love the fabrics you chose and your stitching is just lovely on the bodice. Really great job!

For my pattern, I'm doing sizes 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8. I want the skirts to fall just at or a bit above the knee so I'm working with lengths of 9", 11", 13.5" and 16". Since Zoe doesn't fall within any of those sizes, I thought I'd check here to see if those sound reasonable.

Lisa- Sophee is a 3/4 and Hannah is a 7 now. The measurements sound right on target. Good luck finishing the skirt!

ANGELA- I lost baby Ariel. It is even cuter than I imagined! I bet it was like making doll clothes.

Okay, so I have not posted in forever and a day. Well at least since late summer. We had a fantastic trip to WDW in January. We stayed at the Poly and it was heavenly. I will have to upload some pics from our trip in a bit. We had planned on going to the beach this summer but decided to go back to WDW instead. Woo Hoo!!! We plan on going for out youngest DD's fourth Birthday. My oldest DD is turning six on Tuesday. Wednesday, I am going to start sewing for our trip.

The last outfit I sewed was for Alice in Wonderland. We had a fantastic time at the movie and my girls LOVED it!!! Here are a few pics.

(Pay not attention to the mantel that needs to be painted! )

LOL! Yes!!! I had until 5 pm to finish and I finished at 5:06. How I do not know. I wanted to put elastic sheering in the back but I ended up doing elastic strips instead. It worked but next time I will make my fabric wider. I also wish I had one more ruffle on the back. The white fabric is cute in person though. It is polka dots. It was too cold for her to wear it without a top but I think it will look really cute without the top underneath.

HELP!!!

I purchased the CarlaC bundle pack (peasant top/dress, patchwork twirl, stripwork jumper) last fall from YCMT and had saved all of the tutorials on my desktop because I couldn't get them to print right (computer would freeze up after 3 pages). Anyway, my laptop crashed and I lost the tutorials. I tried finding the e-mail I got with the pdf files in them and couldn't find it. And, I hadn't registered at YCMT when I bought the tutorials so they are not in my library. Would YCMT be able to search for my purchases (I know the date of purchase) and e-mail them to me again or am I screwed and have to buy it again? Any suggestions?

I'm so upset because I also had our Disney pictures from our Dec. 09 trip on that laptop and we hadn't gotten around to backing up all of our pictures, so we lost the last 2 days worth of pics! Darn computer!

 

[aimeeg]

Get ready for way too many pictures! These photos were from our trip in January. Honestly with Christmas the trip snuck up on me and I did not really start sewing until three-ish weeks before. I will not make that mistake again!

Arrival at the Poly. It was great to take advantage of the AP discount!

Captain Jack- Notice the fierce pirate face. LOL

Anastasia and Drizella- We met up with a friend who wore the "Pink Cinderella" dress. The girls looked so cute and we had a blast!

Epcot Princesses-

The Little E's at DHS-

Princess Tiana- Thankfully I had this leftover from Halloween. My younger daughter opted for the Disney Store Cinderella Wedding Gown.

We surprised our girls with Pirate Pals Cruise. This was super fun and great night out.

We had breakfast at Ohana's.

Alice Customs- I did not smock the top on my youngest DD. Bengalbelle smocked this top and it is AMAZING! I cannot tell you how much I adore it. My older daughter pants have the Queen of Hearts and a Card on the legs of the pants.

One of my daughter's favorite characters is the Evil Queen. Last year she even had an Evil Queen 5th Birthday. This outfit I also had from the fall. The Queen told her to look straight ahead and DO NOT smile.

Petti's from TJ and designs from HS-

You cannot see much of the outfit but here is another adorable design from Heather.
