Froggy, I lost your uote last night. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
And, you daughter is getting so big!!! She is so adorable!!!
Playing with a new pattern...and finished a dress I started over a year ago...still need to do the buttons!! (Easter Stripwork Jumper).
Thanks for letting me share!
These are so beautiful!!! I love the brown toille! What pattern is the second dress, I really love the draping at the neck!
So far, I don't need it. I couldn't believe that Fabricland finally had some. It was so new it was still in a box, but was tagged with the price.
I haven't even started sewing for the next trip. I'm so far behind. I got a new kitten in December. I haven't been able to start working on making the Vida pattern I was going to start in January. I'll have to find a time when Pippi (the kitten) will sleep for a while, otherwise she will distroy the pattern before I finish.
OOH! A kitty!!! Do you have a picture you can share with us? I love kitties!
HILARIOUS!!!! (the girls, not the dress!) The dress is beautiful and I love the Drizella pose. I also think Arminda's boots are a "lovely" compliment to her attire!
Our Cinderella was really good there. I had Lucifer appliqued on the back of dd's dress and Cinderealla first came out and told me dd's how her stepsisters raved about her dress and then told my dd that Lucifer was seen just yesterday chasing Mickey Mouse and how naughty of a cat he was and my dd kept talking about Lucifer chasing Mickey all week long.
Very nice --love the rose!
Thank you, the girls were having fun! Shelby was SOOO excited!!!
Your Cinderella sounds much better than any we've ever had!! Most just seem to want to move on to the next table as quickly as possible!! Hmm.. maybe it's us and not the Cinderella!!!
Awesome! Could you explain to me how to do the peplums? Is there a tutorial online? You could PM me if you want. Thanks!
I followed Carla's tutorial, but I was going to make it with one piece of fabric instead of two, so I had it stretched cross the back instead of gathererd in the middle. That's the way I usually do the Drizellas. But, for this one, I cut the peplum in half in the center back, then did a rolled edge to cover up the cut edges.
Teresa......... I don't get over here all the time but caught these...........
Absolutely PRICELESS!
Thank you!!! Shelby is 13, and she really is great fun!
I made myself an Evil Queen costume a couple years ago. I will warn you that no matter WHEN you do the Halloween party, it CAN be really hot. And no matter how you do it, this is a hot costume. I had mine on only briefly, long enough for pictures with the dwarfs.
I used several patterns, one for the cloak, one for the tunic, and another for the skull cap.
You absolutely amaze me!
Just posted on the old Big Give board, but I am also posting here since I am not sure how much traffice it gets now. I am not going to have the Rosetta bags finished in time for Taylor's Big Give.
My serger has died and gone to serger heaven after it ate quite a bit of my Jennifer P fabric
DH has said I can get a new Brother serger when income tax money comes in, but that won't be in time to finish. I have new fabric cut out and interfaced, and can send them as Welcome Home gifts, but they will not be ready before the trip. I am soooo sorry!
I saw that you posted that this morning, I apologize that I didn't answer you right away! I think Wendy has now though. We are still checking the Gives on the old board everyday.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! These pictures of the girls made my day. What a hoot to see them having such fun. Great dresses!
Thank you April!!
Honestly, I couldn't tell you how much it took. It was a bunch (That's a technical term.....
). It probably took that much crushed velvet for the tunic. Probably a little more than that of each color for the cloak. I still thinking I'd like to make myself a Maleficent costume. I think we're going to have to consider DL for a future Halloween trip. The odds of weather cool enough to wear the really fun costumes in FL is just too iffy!
I like your technical term!!!
Teresa it is SO sweet that you made Arminda's friend outfits!
I was thinking the same thing about April's DVC!!!!
And, thank you! I have always told Shelby that when she goes to Disney, I'll make her some outfits. I'm just so glad she is going! She has had a really rough year, so I'm happy she and her Mom will be having some fun at Disney!
(and, I've told her that I want to hear all about their vacation when she gets back, unless she doesn't have fun at Disney, then I don't want to hear it!
)
Just moving the pages along so it jumps before my trip. I am so selfish!!!
I did list the DVC but because I don't need to sell and it is just a thought, I am asking more than most that the Timeshare store has for OKW because I don't really want it to sell. If it does, I will be happy for the money and being able to take DS to new locations around the world.
ALERT: I found a coupon on a public site for Joann's. 15% off including sale price items. TEACHER2011. I don't know if you have to work for a school but DH does and we already had this. Again, I found it doing a general search for Joann coupons.
Just trying to help you move things along, although I really should be doing the dishes or cleaning. (so, if we get towards page 249, you guys just all wait for me to get back, ok?)
Thanks for the code April, I had wondered how you could get the teacher discount online.
