Since last update, he has gone home from the nursing home. He was not getting the care he needed there so his wife set up a hospital bed at home and had a home nurse come in. He has still been not doing well. This weekend he told his wife he will not got back to the hospital and signed a DNR. So, today he has been referred to Hospice. We are waiting for his evaluation from Hospice today to see what we need to do. Most likely DH will travel to Ohio tomorrow alone and come back Thursday so he can spend some time with his dad. Just say some prayers is all I ask. These are difficult days.

My thoughts are with you and your family. I know how tough it is to finally make the call to Hospice.

HELLO LADIES!!! I am SO excited...I catucally sewed a skirt had to redo the hem just once. WHAT A DIFFERENCE WITH A SERGER!!!!!!

Very nice, and you're right about sergers.

goodness you all have been very busy! I took a couple of days away from the computer and missed almost 20 pages!

just a couple of things I have been working on over the weekend:

for January's give:

and for DGD3 (these are my absolutely favorite so far!)

thanks for looking!

I love the flip flops, and the weather to go with them would be very much appreciated right about now.

Thank you! These are great directions too! Thanks for allowing us to post them on the Big Give board too!

And, anyone making these, I would love it if you posted to the BG thread too. We are trying to keep a running total to see what we can do!

You're welcome. I've finished my first set. I want to (no, that's not right, I feel as though I should) iron them before I send them off. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

I'm going to ask this again just in case it was missed before:

Is there a trick to using satin with your embroidery machine? I have used it once before and it pulled away and frayed by the satin stitch. I would really like to use a satin for appliquing some ballet slippers but I don't want it to look awful. How do you guys get it to work? Thanks so much for the help!

I'm glad you asked again, and I see that you got some answers this time. I think sometimes people ask a question and it's just missed with so much going on.

Its been a LONG while but I am back to peek in and say Hi! I miss chatting with all of you wonderful ladies (Mostly but there is at least one guy I remember) Hope everyone is doing well! Here are a few of my latest creations! Just wanted to share and read up on how everyone is doing! I think about this group often and miss it! With 4 kids it is so hard to find time to sew let alone get on the computer!

Thank you all for allowing me to share with you and I hope to be back into the swing of things and back often very very soon!

Candice

Wow. What more can I say!

Sorry I haven't been around in awhile. Everyone in my house has been sick for the better part of two months. During that time we bought Tangled. dd fell in love so I decided to make her a dress. She's a bit shy, but she did model it

If you are wondering, I altered two patterns then combined them. The skirt is from the Juliet Dress (YCMT) and the bodice is, very loosely, Whimsy Couture Peasant Dress

Beautiful dress and I love the photos. From the first photo I thought she must take ballet lessons, and then with the second photo I thought maybe karate.

My first ever pillowcase dress! Thanks Ellen for the fabric! I just LOVE how this turned out! I can't wait to make many many more!

 

[woodkins]

Applique question: I do all of my appliques by hand (no embroidery machines here ) Gianna has agreed to wear appliqued tees and tanks for our trip in October and since I do it all by hand I want to get a head start, but at the rate she grows I don't want to make the shirts just yet for size reasons.

I know that some people have made their appliques on a patch of cotton fabric and then sewn the patch to the item, but I really don't want the "patch" look. I had an idea, but don't know if it will work. Can I piece my applique and do the satin stitching all on a piece of tear away interfacing, then put that interfacing on the shirt and do the outline satin stitching and then simply tear away the surrounding interfacing when I am done? Don't know if I am explaining my thoughts clearly, or if it will work, but I don't want to waste hours on a detailed applique for it to crash and burn!

Any advice would be appreciated!!!

I went and signed up ... now just awaiting approval Same username as here! I've wanted to ask before, but wasn't sure what the families were wanting ... Star Wars t-shirts I think I can handle Especially since my two DS LOVE Star Wars and I can get them involved ... Phalen thinks BigGives are AWESOME after what everyone did for his bff Sebastian for his MAW trip ...

 

[PurpleEars]

I guess it will probably depend on the shape of the doll's body. Do you have an AG doll you can compare it to? The problem with AGs is that they are very narrow in the body and quite wide in the shoulders - they are really not proportionate. Hopefully it's just a matter of upsizing the pattern. I've never sewn for anything bigger than an AG - doll wise anyways. I would opt for a loose fitting dress, if you can.

D~

Thanks for your help. Like I said, I am not a doll person (I honestly do not have a doll in the house!) I think I will just measure and hope for the best! The Portrait Peasant is loose fitting anyway so there is a bit of wiggle room.

Great job on those flip flops!

Hi! I live in Ontario, Canada, and I've been lurking for a LONG time!
I love looking at all the creations! You are all so talented, and I get lots of inspiration.
I am a beginner/novice sewer, but have learned a lot from YCMT patterns! I am a SAHM with 2 girls and 1 boy.
Will add more in next post, so I can get to add photos!

After breaking my LONG standing rule to never sew for Barbie, all I can say is I will NEVER again complain about sewing for the AG.

I couldn't imagine sewing for for a tiny Barbie doll let alone trying to create something that would fit those measurements. My grandma used to knit lots of sweaters for our Barbies and Ken dolls.

HELLO LADIES!!! I am SO excited...I catucally sewed a skirt had to redo the hem just once. WHAT A DIFFERENCE WITH A SERGER!!!!!!

How pretty.

Yes, we will still be in Florida. We have a timeshare that is close to Animal Kingdom. Maybe we could meet up at DTD one of your days? I'll PM yah.

Someday mabye I'll have a sewing room! Brian keeps saying that he would like to eat at the dining room table again, you'd think he'd take the hint and build me a sewing room!

I'm hoping my favorite digitizer (heathersue, my little sister) will make some more ITH designs soon. I even offered to write up the directions for them if she does!

Just wondering what you guys are going to be doing while in Florida. We are headed down to Orlando this weekend, but we are not going to Disney (I know - how terrible). We are planning on just hanging out at the hotel pool but I'm trying to think of something to do in case the kids get restless. We probably won't go to any parks. I'm hoping to make it to Beaches & Cream to try a Kitchen Sink but don't have any other plans.

These came out really cute.

QUESTION

I am sewing a pair of shorts from DS baketball ones kinda like the easy fit.....Can I do front and back from the same pattern that I traced or is there a difference?

I've only ever made Easy Fits so I'm not 100% sure but I guess it would probably be OK since those basketball shorts run pretty big with a loose fit so the shape is probably the same in the front and the back.

We went for our first trip with Grandparents in 2006, then returned in 2007 and again in 2009 for free dining each time! It's all about the food! As a Mom with 3 young(ish) kids, I love being able to eat at a sit-down restaurant and order what I want to eat!

I feel the same way. It is the only time I get to relax and not have to worry about waiting in line for something.

Just wanted to say the work you ladies do is amazing!! I recently got me a pattern and some fabric to make a simple pillowcase dress.. Maybe one of these days I will figure out what to do with it all and then I can join in on the fun here!

Can't wait to see your dress.

First...Ipromise to post pictures of the finished project...

Since I don't have an embroidery machine, I had to find SOMETHING to do. After reading the blog of the sewing room last week, I got inspired. My sewing table is a 4 x 8 sheet of 'chipboard on top of an old sewing table and a bookcase. It has enough room to hold the embroidery machine, my thread racks, a big basket of scrap fabric and my daughter's sewing machine. (My sewing machine is on top of a big old desk placed at a right angle to this one.)

I saw in that blog about how she used modge podge to put fabric on tables...so I took all my black, black, and yellow scraps...and I am attaching it to the top of my plain old boring piece of lumber. Sort of a crazy quilt look. So far I really like the look...but after 2 hours I only have about a fourth of it done.

Then I used some boxes I had and covered them in scraps of Minnie Dot...can you guess what the decorating theme is going to be in there?

Nini

Your project sounds like it will be really cool. sorry your machine is in the shop but you seem to be putting your time to great use.

teresa areyou coming to disney in may we check into the camprounds on the 29th of april. We have been in kissimmee or should say celibration since the 6th but when we got here morgan was sick took her to er on the 7th said she had kidney stones sent her home on 9th still runnung fever she went back to er they put a stint in her kidney she kept getting worse so last wednesday early thursday morning put a pic line in and put her in icu saturday she started turning a round and today said hopefully she will go home tomorrow and stay on iv meds we are having so many problems finding an atibotic because she is allergic to pennicillian the doc told her she would probablly be back at work in about 2 weeks. that part is driving her crazy not being able to work

Sorry to hear about your DD, I hope she recovers soon. Being allergic to penicillin must be very tricky.

I'm going to ask this again just in case it was missed before:

Is there a trick to using satin with your embroidery machine? I have used it once before and it pulled away and frayed by the satin stitch. I would really like to use a satin for appliquing some ballet slippers but I don't want it to look awful. How do you guys get it to work? Thanks so much for the help!

I've used a light weight fusible interfacing on satin with good results.

Amazing work. The dresses are beautiful. I LOVE the Hello Kitty dress and the Belle outfit with the denim skirt. You did a fabulous job on all of the dresses - the fit looks perfect. Your DD is a cutie.

Lorelei is in love and wants one of these now too. I have got to keep that child off this board she wants one of everything she sees. This turned out absolutely gorgeous!!

Me too!

Can you see two sets? I always remember AFTER I set up my signature that I have this wide screen, and everything is always squished at work. Haha! So I had to add the little blurb at the beginning of my signature.

Great stuff, everyone!! I've barely made a dent in the thread, but I'm already feeling inspired!!

I can see two sets but my screen is also wide. The pictures aren't too far off to the sides so I think they should be OK but they aren't showing up right now. The space is there with some wording in it but no pictures.

Thank you all for your help and advice. I was able to make Anthony these shorts to match Eva's skirt for Sea World.

Nice job.

My first ever pillowcase dress! Thanks Ellen for the fabric! I just LOVE how this turned out! I can't wait to make many many more!

glad you were able to get some comic book fabric. Your pillowcase dress is really cute.

Any advice would be appreciated!!!

I think I understand what you are saying, that you would hold off and do the stitches that go around the outside of the design last, when you put the applique onto the shirt. I think that might but it might be more time consuming and hard to make the satin stitches look continuous if you had to finish a section at a later time. I guess you could try it on something you could make for now and see how it works. Otherwise you might be able to do all the cutting and ironing the pieces together and then just sewing them onto the t-shirts when you get closer to your trip. The sewing part is probably the fastest part. Clear as mud??? I'm probably no help.

This is all I have accomplished this week First time ever making pleats.

Great dress and I love the fabric.

We're getting down to the wire for our trip in May but as I started packing I started adding more things the baby "needed". So here is my CASE of the Jessie Toy Story dress. The boy has a buzz shirt to wear and the older 2 just won't match.

Lots of great stuff posted but since I'm usually browsing while nursing it gets too hard to quote everyone.

So adorable

REMINDER TO ALL
Teacher Appreciation Day is May 3. Time to get cracking on gifts for your children's teacher's. I am a big advocate of taking care of our children's teachers. They work very hard and oftern spend more waking time with your child that you do. Take care of the person that takes care of them. Even if you just do something small like buy a flower for their garden and give a card of cute poem, DO IT!!!! My kids share a teacher so I have it easy this year. But ds also has a tutor, so she gets a gift too. I am making totoe bags, luggage tags, bookmarks, keyrings (hopefully if I remember to order the hardware!), and likely a bracelet for each. I may also try covering clipboards or doing notebook packets.
.

DH is a middle and HS math teacher and the story's he tells of some of the kid's lives are just sad

That and your son's outfit came out great. I love the color of the fabric.

I'm going to ask this again just in case it was missed before:

Is there a trick to using satin with your embroidery machine? I have used it once before and it pulled away and frayed by the satin stitch. I would really like to use a satin for appliquing some ballet slippers but I don't want it to look awful. How do you guys get it to work? Thanks so much for the help!

When I went to a embroidery class they said you should use a stabilizer made for Satin. It was sponsored by Florini (sp) and I think it was called Dream Weave which prevented the satin from fraying.

Thank you all for allowing me to share with you and I hope to be back into the swing of things and back often very very soon!

Candice

WOW... that is alot of sewing and appliquing. Everything looks beautiful. What size hoop was that because it looks bigger than 6x10.

Sorry I haven't been around in awhile. Everyone in my house has been sick for the better part of two months. During that time we bought Tangled. dd fell in love so I decided to make her a dress. She's a bit shy, but she did model it

If you are wondering, I altered two patterns then combined them. The skirt is from the Juliet Dress (YCMT) and the bodice is, very loosely, Whimsy Couture Peasant Dress

She looks like a little angel with that pose.

Okay ... HOW does one sign up to participate in the Big Gives? I think I could probably handle Star Wars shirts and I have no idea how to help out!!!! TIA!

I would really like to use a satin for appliquing some ballet slippers but I don't want it to look awful. How do you guys get it to work? Thanks so much for the help!

I appliqued the hearts onto Arminda and Lydia's satin flower girl dresses. I haven't had any trouble with them fraying. I've washed them many times. I did first stitch out the hearts onto stabalizer, then cut around them and sewed them on the dresses. I did that because the dresses were done, and I couldn't risk having my embroidery machine mess up and ruin the dresses!

IOr maybe the big give recipients that are now the owners of the shirts are cussing me out this very minute for the shirts that are coming apart, and I will never know about it.

That made me laugh!

I'm near Toronto. ( A 23 hour drive for WDW! )

I was at Lens Mills Store in Hamilton (Ontario, Canada) and they had all sorts of Disney material.
Some of it was as much as $10/m (just a bit more than a yard), but they had some panels for $2 and $3.
I didn't buy any , as I stocked up on 4-way stretch material for $5/m, and couldn't justify buying any more material
when I had $100 already in my basket ! (3 bags of material later!)
My girls are taking figure skating and gymnastics lessons, so I am making dresses and bodysuits for them too, Jalie patterns!

We live 19 hours away driving. One year we only lived 16 hours away though. I'm still not sure how we did that.

Its been a LONG while but I am back to peek in and say Hi! I miss chatting with all of you wonderful ladies (Mostly but there is at least one guy I remember) Hope everyone is doing well!

I always love seeing your creations!

this is the fabric (I know... It is totally vintage. lol. Don't you love the headbands)

I would be happy to send some if you could use it.

I love that!

OMgoosh!! Way too many. I love to do these keyrings for lip balm or USB port. That is by EmbroideryGarden.com , I also made her tissue box covers. SmartNeedle.com has some great stuff also. I made headband covers that were different. You make one half, rehoop, cut a hole in the stablizer, slip the part you made through the hole, and make the second half. I have a pattern for pot holders, but I haven't got around to them yet.

I'm still trying to convince Heather to sell her lipbalm holder! I need to look into some of those places though. This ITH stuff is kind of addicting!

Sorry I haven't been around in awhile. Everyone in my house has been sick for the better part of two months. During that time we bought Tangled. dd fell in love so I decided to make her a dress. She's a bit shy, but she did model it

I'm hoping to make it to Beaches & Cream to try a Kitchen Sink but don't have any other plans.

We are very boring people actually! We love just hanging out at our timeshare. We go to the outlet malls and we also like Downtown Disney and we visit the resorts. We usually spend a day driving over to the Gulf side. Brian wants to go to Venice Beach this year, so I think we'll head there. Brian also wants to go to the Ocean, but I'm hoping to talk him out of that if we go to Venice beach. Sometimes we go to Kennedy Space Center too. This year we have plans to go to Sea World. WE ARE SOOOO EXCITED about that!!! Lydia was jumping up in down about it this morning while we were planning her outfit! We haven't been in years, and I don't think Lyddie has ever been. We might hit the campfire at Ft. Wilderness this year too. We did that last year (or was it the year before???) and had a lot of fun. We also want to go to a few museums. On Groupon the other day I was able to buy a family membership at one of our local museums for $25 which allows you into a lot of museums around the country for free! Lyddie loves the museum in Orlando (can't think of the name of it right now), so we will probably go there. Now that I type it all up, it sounds like too much stuff to do!

You can make iron on designs too! My son (he's 18 ) actually prefers the iron ons to appliques.

There have been many variations of this dress. If you check out the Photobucket account, you should be able to find many. I think most of us have used the Simply Sweet as the base for our dresses. It looks really cute!

Iron on shirts would be awesome!!!! I think he would love a star wars weekend iron on shirt! Mom also thought he might like something sharky for sea world!!!

 

[MissElizabeth]

Wow! I just looked at the photo bucket account. You ladies have skills!

Some of the dresses I really loved had shirred backs, which I think make the fit so nice. Does the simply sweet pattern tell you how to accomplish that? If not, how do you do that?
