Teresa and Heather- prayers being said for Barbara. Hope things went well today.
Whoever was asking about the
Feliz time-
Figure the average time it takes to trace out pattern onto patternease (or whatever you use and add seamallowances) and cut out pieces. I'm slow- 1-2hrs
Pin and cut out all fabric pieces except ruffles (about 1 and half hours)
Sew ties and overskirt- about 1 hour (be sure to use ribbon tip when turning the ties- just sort of push the end down a bit before you pull and it will just slip right out)
Make ruffles (cutting fabric, hemming, ruffling, attaching to back overdress) I would guess 2 hours -thats whats up for tomorrow.
shoulder straps, assembling overdress and underdress about 1 hour.
Now, some might be faster, I seem to be A. Slow these days and B. Interupted constantly.

This is my second one, I don't know that anything is hard- but you just have to follow the directions. This time I am do a few things different than the one I did 2 years ago- like finishing all my seams, and doing the facing pieces on the back of the overdress.
I really goofed today- trying to do too much, I thought I would add a nice wide embriodered leaf pattern to the bottom of the overdress hem, but first I messed up and used white bobbin thread- which comes thru when using the machine (but not if in embroidery mode) so I had to switch, then when I started it didn't line up properly, then the leaves were crowding, then I spent a good 40 minutes ripping out stitches- I could have been half way thru the ruffle prep instead. Grrrrrrr
Okay- new topic- Snubie and I got together earlier this summer and photographed our kids together in the new Maddie top/dress by Scientific Seamstress/CarlaC
We both agreed, this pattern would be sweet as a nightgown in flannel. It is more versatile that I originally thought. Megan loves her top.
Too many pictures...

It was so much fun to meet another Disnboutiqer and we hope to get together again. The girls all got along great (except for baby Hannah being a little too rough with baby Megan) Big Megan and Big Lauren had fun playing together.
