[disneylovinfamily]

Posted this on my pre trippie but no one seems to be there tonight so I wanted to ask my fellower disboutiquesr thier opinions.

Friday, they are having a father son look alike contest. Now I think as does most people we come in contact with think that Russell is the spitting image of Mark. Mark doesn't think so. The 1st prize is $500 gift card to the mall. I am going to dress them alike too. Do you think we have a chance? This is not the best pic but I just snapped it quick.

I've been asked to teach sewing lesson at 3 different places, One of them is for basic sewing (beginners) now , the only time I went for sewing class I was told to leave so I am not familiar what is taught in beginners class, what is taught? , do they work with patterns or with a sloper --I kind of like the idea of teaching from a basic sloper-I'm thinking basic sewing machine operation, basic fabric knowledge including grain/bias ,how to take measures, hardware (zippers and such) and pattern making and garment construction??? -- i just need a general idea on what is taught at the beginners level... Not sure on what to do...

I'd start by asking the place where you'll teach if they have a syllabus or other outline of what a beginning class covers. If they don't, I think it would be best to start very simple with the emphasis being on operating the machine, cutting out the fabric correctly (i.e. how to follow the grain and when to use the bias) and other basic skills. As for what to make, I'd keep it simple as well, such as a tote bag or apron. Depending on the length of the class, a simple garment might be the next step.

IMHO, introducing new students to slopers and pattern making might be overwhelming with all the other things they'll need to learn. You could definitely mention what slopers are and how they'd be useful once the students were ready to move past commercial patterns. Heck, you might even be able to teach a class on using slopers to intermediate to advanced students.

BTW - Do you have a good source for slopers? I've never used them myself and think it's something I'd find useful.

Wanted to share my latest creation! I just loved how this came together. It is Carla's patchwork twirl skirt with Jennifer Paganelli's Sisboom fabrics. I think I used about 20 different fabrics all together.

This is her trying to twirl!LOL

Wow Mindy!!! That looks great!!!! So gorgeous!!

Honestly, I don't think they look much alike, but I'd still enter them in the contest anway! It will be cute and fun!

Are we playing Where's Waldo? I give up, where is your son in the crowd?

I was going to be my normal "wise"donkey" self and say..

WOW, I know LisaZoe's stuff is amazing, but that's an INCREDIBLE amount of detail!!!

Here's another Captain Mickey Sparrow.

OK, I can't resist sharing a couple July 4th themed items I made.

Here are some I did for boys - I'm still not totally confident of my designing for boys but I'm getting there.

Just beautiful! I love that fabric and it looks great on a patchwork skirt!

Thank you!

That is so beautiful. I love all of those fabrics, and they all look perfect combined like that.

Thanks so much!

Ohhhh, I just love it. Those fabrics so summery and airy.

Thanks!

That is so adorable! Love the twirly-ness!

Thanks so much! I love how twirly it is too!

That came out great! I love the combination of prints. It makes me want to dig through my box of fabric remnants and make a twirl skirt right now. LOL

Thanks Lisa! I know what you mean! It is pretty tedious, but when I was done, I immediately wanted another one!LOL They are slightly addictive!

That is so cute. Love the fabric.

Thank you!

Wow Mindy!!! That looks great!!!! So gorgeous!!

Thank you Teresa!

WOW Lisa! You are AMAZING! How could you not be confident? You ROCK!

Thank you! I've struggled with self-confidence in my work since childhood. I can usually ignore the doubts but I have to admit I look at my things and think they are pretty plain. Of course I'm a fairly plain kind of person so elaborate, highly embellished, over the top creations don't come as easily as simple and functional.... but cute.

What's funny, is I think your things are FAR from plain! They are always extremely detailed and just perfect.

So I bought a cupcake bling iron on for baby Abby now I am conflicted on what I should put it on. I have this fabric.

I love the aqua blue, but it might show up better on the darker fabrics.

I think it's amazing! Someone posted something of yours on here and I had to go back to a "different" site because I thought it reminded me of something there (in terms of style) and it was yours, too, just like I thought!

I've really really struggled finding things for my boys for this upcoming trip. I think what you just posted is wonderful and right on target!

so this is OT, but i hope y'all can indulge me a little bit; I'm just feeling really overwhelmed and frustrated. First and foremost, it looks like we're going to have to cancel our Disney trip because of the tornado damage. Our decuctible is 4000 and because of the kids ever increasing medical bills we can't think of any way to come up with that kind of money and still make the trip. And the worst of it is that DD will turn 10 in January so it will cost a lot more to go from now on. I know that it's a vacation, nothing more... but everyday is so hard! and that week keeps me going the other 51. I'm just in a bad place at the minute, DH has been extremely distant, the bills are piling up, my sewing machine broke, I've been in a flare from the stress this week so I'm not sleeping well, am exhausted and in much worse pain than usual, etc. etc.

OK, thanks for being patient. I know I just have to put on my big girl pants and get over it... but I know y'all will understand the Disney disappointment. And to make it worse, DH "helped" by changing my computer wallpaper today- to Cinderella's castle. Yep, definitely a sensitive guy

So, I wanted to ask what your opinions are on cloth diapers/diapering.

Also, wasn't someone sewing some??? T- was that you??? If so, where did you get a pattern, what supplies did you need, etc. I was thinking about trying a few, maybe when at home. . . but not sure, which is why I'm asking about opinions too. . .
