So here's what we have done so far...
That is soooo adorable, cute and well made!! I can't wait to see it all done. So awesome! I love that you sew with your grammy!
So here's what we have done so far...
So I am sitting at my sewing table last night when dh get's home from work and he tells me to come sit down and sends dd7 to her room. He starts to tear up and says the store is closing I am losing my job. I swear it as if I stop breathing. The store will be closing the first week of december. He has been there 8 years. I am so beside myself with worry right now even though he tells me we will be ok. Not to worry. I am so lost right now I don't know what to do. Thank you for letting me vent.
Thanks, me too actually. It helps that I am very motivated b/c I dont' really have the time for all of this sewing But once you're in so deep there's nothin' you can do. Besides, what kind of mother would I be if I took my kids to wdw in regular clothes or *gasp* OLD customsI am AMAZED at how fast you are working!
Anna! Bo Peep is coming along quite well. I don't blame you for getting a hand at your Grands while getting to spend some time w/ her. Sometimes it's nice to sew w/ an extra pair of eyes and hands. Of course sometimes it a giant PITB!!!! I can't wait to see the finished Bo Peep costume!!!So here's what we have done so far...
Thanks!great idea with the goggles
thats sound like a good idea- like swim googles? Do they make them for toddlers? She is about a size 18-24 m in cloths, so on the petit side. Where do I find those in October!
Also- One more thing!!
There is a gal in my MOPS (Mothers Of Preschoolers) group. She and her husband have a 1yr old and a 3yr old and he was recently diagnosed with brain cancer- stage 3, he's been given 5 years to live, he's about 37 years old. She has been a stay at home mom since her first child was born and he has been out of work for the last 3 months and money is very very tight. Her neighborhood is doing a tag sale/bake sale/activites day to raise money for them, but more than anything they need prayers. I know many of you pray, and this nice family (Jen and Ken) could use all the prayers they can get.
Thank you Teresa, I am doing okay.Beth- I hope you are doing ok today.
I still wanna catch up on your TR Heather....and I plan on it very soon!!For the 6 of you that are still reading,
I UPDATED MY TRIP REPORT!
This is the day we went to Epcot and had a truly magical experience. I highly recommend this one.
Aww hug for you too...I am so sorry to hear about your friends. I will be praying for them as well. That is so sad. Cancer SUCKS!!!! It is so scary to me!!!Oh wow... we will add them to the prayer list. I cant imagine going through that. My best friend's husband had brain cancer at age 25. He passed away at 27. They have 2 dd, 5 and 18mo. The 18 mo old has down syndrome and also had lymphnode cancer (not exactly sure what it is called) had some lymphnodes removed and one kidney. I tell you that to say it is amazing the strength that she has. God has been the only thing to get her through it! That is great that the neighborhood is doing that for them.
WHAT? Not a BEACH girl?? I didn't know there was such a thing...hahaha. (Coming from a gal who literally grew up on a beach and still miss it)!!!Had some quick things to share before I am off to Wal Mart. Tom took the kids to the beach so I could have a sewing day, isn't he sweet? I am not really a beach girl.
Oh no, I am so sorry you are going through this. I sure hope that your DH can find work soon. That has got to be a very stressful feeling, I am so sorry!So I am sitting at my sewing table last night when dh get's home from work and he tells me to come sit down and sends dd7 to her room.

Love the outfit and the baby things...very cute!Here's another one of Jamahl's Big Give outfits. Thanks to a special designer for making the perfect iron on. I thought the shirt matched better when I ordered it and it does match some of the fish, but looking at it now, I'm not sure.

I have 2 baby showers coming up, so I made a diaper and wipes tote, a nursing cover and a "taggie" taggie blanket for the soon to be little girl.

This is a nursing cover and "taggie" blanket for my sister's soon to be little boy.

I HATE when they give parents homework! It bugs me to no end!1)I have to admit that I'm annoyed that I have to fill out a paper every week telling the teacher how long we read each night. She let us know that it will be marked on their report card how much time we spend reading to our kids. I always read to my kids and I'm sure the parents that never read to their kids aren't going to start because the teacher gave the parents "homework" (when I volunteered last week, I was in charge of writing down who brought the reading sheets back and who didn't). I know it's nothing unusual, but it irritates me.
!
Thanks!!!!!Teresa-I signed up over on the Disboards for Hank's shirt.
Had some quick things to share before I am off to Wal Mart. Tom took the kids to the beach so I could have a sewing day, isn't he sweet? I am not really a beach girl.
The school is having a bazaar where you pay them $25 and you can set up a table to sell things so I think he wants me to work on that, lol. I am hoping to make at least $25 so I can get my money back!
Here is the corduroy fabric I wanted to make a jumper, but Megan insisted on a jacket instead. I had to lengthen the darn pattern by 3 inches so the buttons look weird. I am going to buy more buttons to add to the top:
Now that I look at it again, I remember what a pain those pockets were! Oh, I hated them! Commercial patterns will never come close to the ease of Carla's I tell you! The collar came out totally wonky on the inside too. Good thing it's just for Megan!
Here is a MAW outfit. I almost feel guilty at how quick the boy stuff is. I feel like I should be doing two outfits to equal the time spent on the girl things!
I remember when they first came out and I ranted and complained to everyone I knew about how disgusting they were! It takes a real sick mind to design a baby that wears sexy nighties! Sick sick sickThank you, Crystal!!
I LOVE the jacket, Steph!! Tessa is sticking her tongue out and panting, so I'd say it's a hit with her, too. I can't wait for Megan to outgrow it!
Whenever I try to make rounded pockets, they turn out square. So, I am really admiring those pockets.
Jamahl's outfit turned out great! Thank you!!!
I have refused to buy any Bratz since my friend showed me her daughter's baby bratz who came dressed in a negligee and thong undies. EW!!!!
I am so sorrySo I am sitting at my sewing table last night when dh get's home from work and he tells me to come sit down and sends dd7 to her room.

Can you believe someone bought the giant baby Bratz doll (complete with thong) as a welcome home gift for Morgan? It went back to the store so fast!
Great MAW outfit. The jacket is stunning!Had some quick things to share before I am off to Wal Mart. Tom took the kids to the beach so I could have a sewing day, isn't he sweet? I am not really a beach girl.

looks like a great day! Thank you for sharing.
It is beautiful. You know she can always have a change of clothes!Did I ever share my Belle outfit with all of you... sadly we have 10 days to go before our trip and this one is not coming with us. I made too much stuff!!!
Sad Sad Sad..
Talk about cute! I can't wait to see it!So here's what we have done so far...
The sheep is a neck pillow my grammy made a little while ago.
So Both the Bonnet and the pants are 100% done. The skirt is sewed together minus the pink dots and the bodice is partially put together. Going back over on Wed. so it should be All done then!! I'll be working on the poofy parts too. The skirt is VERY Full and it gonna take alot of poof to fill it out!!
ETA: Apparently my camera lens is filthy- Sorry for the blurs and I swear I rotated the one picture- Hmm
I guess I will zig zag the edges of my fleece. I just had alot of trouble with the shirt I made Kyle with the zig zag stitch. I am hoping it was the fabric that i was using at the time. It was so thin so it would get pushed down easily and jam everything...
I will post pictures in a bit of it.

GOOD MORNING DISBOUTIQUERS!!!! I am just sitting down to begin sewing for another day and I realized the I have to take Mac to a birthday party at 1:00 and I have no present We NEVER do birthday parties. He has about 3 friends whose parties he goes to and that's it. This is his oldest and closest friend so no getting out of it. I am hoping to drop him off and run back home to sew a while longer.
...t.
Well, I've been lurking lots, not sewing so much. It looks like everyone needs a GIANT group hug! There's so much going on. And sadly, I'm in need of a hug too. We were looking to buy a house, found one we liked (that we could afford) and put in an offer, had my Dad do a home inspection, hired an arborist to check out a large tree in the yard, AND put in an offer. Then we waited while the sellers were ON VACATION, and couldn't be reached to present the offer to! Anyhoo, long story short, we lost the house, the sale was almost complete too! Now we have to be out of our present house in 27 days, and we're not able to secure a mortgage in time (thanks to a data entry error at the credit verification company, and that market crash from earlier this week ). Sooooo, we have to rent a place for a while until this whole mess is sorted out. This just rots! So DH and I surprised the kids by picking them up from school at lunch and driving to the USA, took them to Target and bought them their Hallowe'en costumes, bought some junk food that we can't buy in Canada and ate at the Olive Garden (we don't have those here either). Yum! Love the Bellini iced tea there. A little cross-border retail therapy was all we needed to lift our spirits, but we just didn't have time to go to Joann's

Thanks for the idea I love giving homemade gifts. Just as long as you don't mind me doing it.
Hi everyone, I am sorry I havent been around in a while. I havent been feeling too good (morning sickness that just sticks with me ALLLLLLLL day)

Ok. I have Lily's Toy Story pants done except for fixing the waistband...fortunately I made her try them on before I sewed the elastic together so it will be an easy fix.
I have cut out: AK capri pants (EF)
Mini Minnie Dot Capris pants(EF): for Friends around the world
Hello Kitty (halloween)Double Layer Twirl
Minnie Patchwork Twirl (minus casing)
Toy Story Halter
I still have to cut out the AK bowling shirt and Mac's bowling shirt.
Do button minnie and hello kitty shirts
AND sew everything together...MY MIL is helping so we can knock it out before the week we are leaving. We are always sewing our costumes last minute and I've certainly followed suit since I started making her customs.
I have fabric for a pirate dress ( I think Steph will help me w/ an applique)and a Buzz dress to match Macs bowling shirt even though he doesn't want to match his sister...b/c I'm mean like that.
I guess I'm off to bed so I can start sewing early...not to mention I need to get out of the house for elastic and bias tape before B gets here and knows I'm spending more money
...t.
So here's what we have done so far...
I'm going to shrink the easy fit pants pattern to try and fit a newborn and I'm going to make him a bunch of easy fit pants with simple applique onesies to match.
I used the easy fit pattern for the 18" doll to make Attikus's pirate pants for MNSSHP. You might have to lengthen them but they fit him great around. I wanted his to be capri length and I think I used the pattern as is as far as length. I had to add an extra piece at the top for the casing. They were too short through the crotch. I had already sewn them so I just added to the top. You could add that before you cut them out.
that is really cool!! Be sure to poast a pic of the final product,Good news!!! Katie was chosen as one of 4 4th graders in her school to do a tile art project for our town. She went yesterday to make the tiles and they go back on Nov. 8th to glaze them. The tiles will be used for a mural in town. She is pretty excited.
oh we have so many outfits, it is a tad out of control.... I think I over sewed! HAHAHAIt is beautiful. You know she can always have a change of clothes!
That is really pretty!
I was going to say it's very cute, but I'm not sure Kyle would appreciate that! (although, it is!) It looks fantastic!!! You did a great job! (as usual!)Here is the shirt I just made for Kyle. The sleeves gave me some trouble but I think t was because the fabric was so thin. At least that is what I am hoping.
If you can't tell by now Kyle is a clown!
Say goodbye to the mohawk he has class pictures Tuesday so I am cutting it.
Such hard times. I hope your husband finds an even better job! Or, you win the lottery!Hi all I am poping in to say thank you to all of you for all the support. I am so darn worried. While my dh is calm and cool don't worry honey we will get through this. All I can do is keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. I really love all the things that were posted. I got to see the model in the fall outfit. A few things for boys. I have a nephew so I saw that you can make things for boys. Baby stuff you have to have things for baby showers. And I love the belle outfit. Thanks again to you.

That happened to Corey when he was in 4th grade, he had to stay in from recess for it! He had asked me to sign it, but I had forgotten, it was a really stressful day for our country, September 11, 2001!As for the homework for the kids/parents. I fogot to sign Katie's daily aganda last week and SHE had a point taken away form her that day! I felt so bad! She NEVER has points taken away!

Next Friday thru Sunday Joann's will have all Simplicity patterns on sale for .99 each.
I was in yesterday and the clerk gave me the post card. It is 3 hours RT for us to go back to the city and a tank of fuel but the savings is going to be worth it.
