I feel like I am hoggin the board today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey..don't forget about poor Tom...you mean women plus one man...LOL
If I remember right, there was a second dad who posted on the old thread. I don't think he posted a lot but he'd made some things for his child/children.
BTW - I think threads get locked when they reach 250 page. It looks like a new one will be needed in the next day or two if not sooner.
Has anyone found any new patterns lately...It seems like it's the same old stuff when I look online and in the pattern books. We need to create something new..I saw these great zuma's that we're appliqued with Rapunzel. They were adorable. I wish I saved a picture. But I was thinking about trying to do a Cinderella pair. With maybe her castle in the background.
I guess I should finish my project that I'm already working on. Well I bought the fabric, but haven't cut anything yet. I wanted to do an appliqued set with Tinkerbell, Hook, The alligator, and Wendy..
This is so cute!! And I love your Jack Russells. I have been showing and breeding them for the last 10 years. They are the best!!!!

This is my BIG project for the weekend. I bought a $20 folding lawn chair with a canopy, used a dremel tool to cut the bolts that held the canopy on. I went to Home Depot and bought some new bolts, spacers, washer and wing nuts. Then Chris helped me drill out the holes a bit bigger and we reassembled the canopy on the wheelchair. We can take it off fairly easily since we used wing nuts
I added the front scalloped edge with a bit of a Disney touch to make it look like it belongs to a 5 year old. It needs a little fun don't you think.
I'm happy to have this project completed. One more thing that I can check off my to do list
I am working on my outfits for Ohano's. Here is the babies outfit. Funny this pattern was brought up a couple of days ago. I could not figure out the button thing to save my life. LOL I think I worked on that for about an hour. Then it dawned on me.
My older daughter is getting a very ruffled outfit. I was going to do capris and a shirt but she is my dress girl. I cut her dress first and did not have enough fabric to do the same for the baby. That is why I ended up doing this one. I am pretty happy with the way it came out.
I finished Sawyer's Cars shirt this morning. It was the smallest pattern I could find in the style of shirt I liked, but it's still pretty big on him. He would not cooperate, so I didn't get any good pictures of him in it. But, I thought I'd share anyway. This is my first attempt at a button-up shirt, a collar, and a pocket.
He kept trying to take the shirt off and was coming over to me to take it off of him. I got lots of extreme close ups like this. So helpful:
Here's how the shirt looks when Sawyer throws a tantrum because he wants it off. In his defense, it was nap time.

I got in some practice using patterns by sewing my dog's a new bed today. It took me about 7 hours and was really difficult at some points, but it's done. Our boy dog is named Bevo, after the Texas Longhorns mascot, hence the fabric choice.
It looks really small in this picture, but it's not that small.
Both dogs love it already.
wait 7 pages. does this end at 250 pages?
I am watching night rider and it rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!
cute stuff.Hi Everyone - a little late, but a few more valentines things....
wow that is awesome she did a great jobRiley finished her first project on her new sewing machine today!
She got the brother 6000 for Christmas and she has been going crazy wanting to sew sew sew! She did 90% of these all by herself and she could have done more if she just wasn't so worried that she would make a mistake. She even sewed the rick-rack all by herself.
I am so proud of her. She was sooooo excited when she got them finished!
ok how do you whip up these Gorgeous outfits ? when do you sleep? and appliques you must be a super pro by now, I did my 1st one on jeans last night and was up till 1 a.m and i still am not happy with it,Here's a picture of the "whipped up" outfit I made Leigh today.
I made it extra twirly for her
Leigh says that this is "her pose!"
cute i am gonna case some stuff in the limited too catalog also why pay those prices and i can even make it modest too .. can't wait to see what you makeSo here's a post of the two new projects I'll be starting next week.
The first is a really cute top that I'm borrowing out of the Limited Too catalog. The blue top is $27 retail and my fabric combined in the blue and blue flowered total cost $8. Can't wait to finish is.
This bottom fabric is my nightmare!!! I don't know what DD5 was thinking about except that she LOVES Buzz Lightyear. She wants a skirt and I thought I'd be able to pull out the light blue with some different fabrics, but she wanted the pea soup green? Again I don't know. I think I'll do the basic three tier skirt because otherwise I'm going to be sick with the color. Any ideas?
She'll be popular with the boys in her class that's for sure!
Hey i say Dude all the time ! is that kinda the same as RAD which now i will be saying because it is stuck in my head!!!ok I am only on page 218 and there are some super awesome creations!! I was going to say "rad" but my dh looked over my shoulder and said "I think you are the only one in the world who still says rad anymore" ha! he made my change it.
SO...prove me wrong, doesn't anyone else say Rad, or am I REALLY the only one?
Cute outfitscott took the kids to the zoo an hour ago and I am already done with outfit #1.
This is a new little nautical outfit for nicholas!
Lori

This morning I set out to build a rain cover for it. This is what I came up with.

cute it all worked out great.Lori- Love the summer wear! My cousin just had a baby boy. I am going to need some advice on Jon Jon's.
My3Princes- That canopy is fantastic!! It is very cute and functional. It looks great!

sorry about that. How very frustrating.I've got that Buzz Lightyear fabric, too. I'm planning on making a button-up shirt or Sawyer with it. Maybe you could just add some white in with the brown and green fabrics to brighten it up a little.
You're really the only one!
That's really cute! I like how the sailboat almost looks like a little smiley face.
Wow! You are so clever! It looks great and I love how you personalized it!
I love those fabrics together, great job!!
As you may have guesed from Teresa's comment earlier, my appointment with the new hematologist did NOT go well! It was a complete waste of my time. I got there and she starts looking at my chart on the computer and she asks "Did they ever find out why you had that super huge (yes she said super huge) blood clot in your portal vein?" I said "Because I have antiphospholipid antibody syndrome." She said "Oh!" She didn't even know what was wrong with me, or why I was there!!!!! She knew absolutely nothing about it, and just kept telling me "I think you'll be just fine." when I mentioned the extreme fatigue and sometimes excruciating pain I have in my muscles. When I left, I went out to my car and cried. She's the 4th doctor I've been to about this and none of them seem to think it's a problem for a 33 year old to have debilitating muscle pain, for days at a time, for no apparent reason. Okay, that was way more than you guys probably wanted to know. But, I'm really frustrated with the whole situation.
That is too cute i made one of those last night for Camden and mine looks blah compared to yours this was also my 1st attempt at anyting like this too, i learned to sew the size i need not make it a lil bigger ...I finished Sawyer's Cars shirt this morning. It was the smallest pattern I could find in the style of shirt I liked, but it's still pretty big on him. He would not cooperate, so I didn't get any good pictures of him in it.

okay , i have a cocker spaniel and for her colors pink and brown please! that is too cool did you use a pattern?I got in some practice using patterns by sewing my dog's a new bed today. It took me about 7 hours and was really difficult at some points, but it's done. Our boy dog is named Bevo, after the Texas Longhorns mascot, hence the fabric choice.

I love what you did. I have a cousin who is 7 with Dandy Walker Syndrome. Her wheelchair is very similar to Colby's. I'm going to share your pictures with her grandmother (who has custody) and my Mother, I think we could do something similar. Thanks for sharing.
