Here is Isabelle's Back 2 School set!

This is sooooooooooooo cute!!!

Lisa I am so excited you did this. Your Alice Vida is gorge! Do you have a picture to share? Hannah still does not know it is hers. I thought I would surprise her since our trip is all about her sister. I had so much fun looking at everything you did on the dress. It was honestly like taking a sewing class. I took notes!!! LOL I learned so much.

Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial with us.

That really is cute! Maybe one day I will get brave enough to try to sew something else.

I don't like the photo quality but here you go...

Oh thank you so much! One day I'm going to own that dress I have bought fabric to make that dress.....I picture it in my mind

 

[aimeeg]

Angel, you are going to die when you see Hannah's Alice Vida. It is BEAUTIFUL!!! You know I have a history of pushing Alice on my kids! Sophee is having an Alice pinafore smocked also. I can't wait!!

Guess what??? A certain pink fairy has that polka dot on her dress! Good thing you like it.

Hi Everyone!

We made it home late last night. I had to run and pick up the pets and some food this morning...then I think I'm gonna crawl back into bed for a while!

Thank you so much for sending us prayers and pixie dust (and to Melissa/mommyof3princess for being such a great friend, my link to the outside world and helping me hold together that last bit of my sanity.)

As for the trip...I just don't know what to say. I saw as I scanned through someone mentioned about "disney expectations", etc. I do want to make sure I let everyone know it was NOT anything Disney that impacted our trip! The service was great, the events were phenomenal, loved the shows, had great food. Other than an Ariel and Mulan who were nice but probably not having their best days (kinda running on automatic, y'know?), every character greeting (especially the fuzzy ones, Belle, and amazing Pirates League people!) was phenomenal. We will not return to Pop Century but again, it wasn't a Disney thing, I think it was just our personal preference with the kiddos- nothing was wrong with it, just didn't feel like as good a fit as our last resort- we all have our favorites, right? But that really wasn't anything we had complaints with or that made the trip bad, either. We had some very magical moments, but some very very horrible ones kinda overshadowed the whole thing.

I'm sorry to seem so "vague" but it doesn't seem right to do so over the public boards. I just wanted to make sure you all knew it was NOT Disney (and our little family of seven is strong and holding it together!)

So, it was not anywhere close to what we'd thought would happen, which is the bad news. The "good" is that where before hubby was hemming and hawing over when to return, he now says we have to go back, this needs to be different, and how about December 2010! So off we'll go!

I had hoped to put up a trip report on the report boards (after Aug 7th) but I just don't see how that's possible now without leaving out a ton of stuff and making it seem fakey. I think I will try to find a way to do it (blog with password protection?) so that I can share the good and bad with those who want to hear it, since I feel like you'll all become friends/extended family these past few months! Any suggestions on how to do this (sites that might work, etc) would be greatly appreciated! Then I'll just ask whomever is interested in sharing our trip with us to PM me and I'll pass along the info.

((Hugs)) and thanks so much for all your concern and caring (and I'm off for a nap!)
Love,
Marah and The Husband

I love all these!!! Where did you get that AK fabric?

The peekaboo skirt is adorable too!!! Heathersue's designs look fabulous!!!! She just sent me a bunch this morning, I need to get over my embroiderymachine and (shhhh...don't tell anyone) my "maybe-I-won't-be-as-good-as-my-sister" phobias and just try these out!

I got the AK fabric at my local quilt shop. I've had it done for a couple months just hadn't taken the time to put the applique on. I was so frustrated with the pattern that I didn't even want to look at it!

Here you go! I hope you'll share photos of Hannah in it... once she gets to actually wear it.

BTW - I'm always nervous to send something to someone who sews! I worry that my seams, stitching, etc. will be inspected with a magnifying glass.

I hope the tutorial makes sense. I wrote the steps last weekend and then added in the photos once I'd had a chance to edit them. They aren't the best photos but hopefully they show what I mean.

That is SO cute!

Thank you! I have to admit I'm not a fan of the 'cuties' but I'm definitely changing my mind now that this dress is done.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love this dress and have been afraid of tackling it. I'm really thinking of making this for my last dress for Crystal Palace in some Pooh fabrics...minus the beautiful embroidery of course!

...now to just re-read the instructions for the Feliz and how to add the Butt Ruffles to make sure I have it all down and not so patiently waiting for the August 1 pay day so I can order...and THEN wait for the pattern to come in! (Another reason to love YCMT!!!)

Thanks!!!!!

Nini

I really think the Vida works without any extra applique or embroidery. I did this dress last Halloween and really liked the look.

I was thinking of documenting how I do the 'butt ruffles' for the Feliz since I'll be doing those for a special dress very soon. I now there are various ways to do them but the pattern itself is very vague about it.

I have always loved that set!!!

Oh thank you so much! One day I'm going to own that dress I have bought fabric to make that dress.....I picture it in my mind

I should make another version of that. I did that one not long after I started doing applique so it was pretty basic. I think it would be really cute with some of the large scale appliques I like to do. Hmm, ideas are forming...

I'm sorry things didn't work out as hoped. I'm glad, though, that your DH is already on board with the idea of another trip.

I wish I could help you with a way to share the story with selected people. I don't know how to make a blog private but I know it can be done since I've stumbled across such blogs (although I couldn't see them).

Oops ... I don't know what I did to your quote ..

I'm so sorry about whatever happened. I've been praying for you, too. I was following along with your excitement with the adoption and all. I hope that everything is alright, now, and I'll keep praying. I'm glad you'll get a chance for a do-over trip, soon.

These are some pics of the fabric I got at another local walmart that is closing the fabric department. I love the wow wow wubzy fabric, wish I had purchased more and I love the pink eeyore. I would have loved to buy more, but DH kept giving me "the look"

I stalked for this pooh fabric. I believe jham made something with it, I don't know what I am going to do with, but I love to look at it !!

I do have that fabric and I think it will make a great tee shirt applique but I haven't done it yet.

Here is Isabelle's Back 2 School set!

Love it! Isabelle looks so cute! I just finished a dress for Lily using that apple fabric. I'll post pictures in a seperate post so we can get to page 250.

I would love to hear about your trip. I know there are ways on facebook to post things and select exactly who can see them. PM me if you decide you want to try that.

Here you go! I hope you'll share photos of Hannah in it... once she gets to actually wear it.

BTW - I'm always nervous to send something to someone who sews! I worry that my seams, stitching, etc. will be inspected with a magnifying glass.

Hannah's Alice dress is gorgeous! I can't wait to see it on her!

 

[jham]

Here's a fall dress for Lily. I haven't made her official first day of pre-school dress yet but I have the fabric all ready to go. It won't be anything fancy, but I think it will be cute. The pre-school asks that you take "first day of school" photos at the orientation day which is coming up in a couple of weeks.

Sorry about the giant photos. Photobucket shows them as having been resized so hopefully it will correct itself. UGH>

I really think the Vida works without any extra applique or embroidery. I did this dress last Halloween and really liked the look.

This is so cute. I was just thinking I wonder what one looks like with out the appliques. I am new as sewing and am just not there yet with appliqueing but love the style of the Vida. I checked out your tutorial too on the Vida thanks so much for taking the time to do that. Quick question too... ??? Can you only buy the Vida pattern online if so where is a good place to get one. I did Google it and came up with several places. Thanks in advance for your help.... and thank you again for doing that tutorial.
