I finished my Disney sets for my boys!
Here are my almost 3-year old's (Shirts are iron-on transfers the DISigners helped me with!):
One of the 7 month old's sets (I made him several onesies, not too many shorts):
And the Cars birthday banner for the upcoming birthday party!
Everything looks great. Just wanted to say that I LOOOVE that banner. How adorable!
I was at my girlfriends little girl bday party. the one I made the ruffled up dress, Wubbzy and Tink Patchwork. Well one of her friends fell in love with the Tink one and my girlfriend kept telling every one how I made it and isn't it great so her GF said she wants one for her DD just let her know how much and what ever it is she will pay for it! How much should I charge??? The woman kept saying for a one of a kind she would pay $70 or $80 but that just seems like so much. Not that I wouldn't love it but I want to be fair.
My gf was too funny at the party she kept telling every one to go to my FB page and look at all the stuff I made . She was such a confidence booster. Every one seemed to love it! And a few started asking how much things were but I have o clue what to charge!!
I think that price is cheap. For all the time you spend it is definitely a good price. I wouldn't sew for out for less. I don't see how people sew dresses and sell them for 30 dollars. I think my time is worth alot I guess.
Your Wubzy dress was adorable. Definitely worth 80 bucks imo!
My latest issue....my machine keeps pulling the top thread underneath & making a huge mess underneath! Do I need to adjust the tension, I've tried it both ways a little & it doesn't seem to be doing right. Any suggestions??? Thanks!
Did you fix this yet? I am a little behind. Sometimes a tiny thread can get caught in the bobbin case or any of that bobbin area stuff and cause this. People call em thread nests. I had problems with this on my embroidery machine, and it turned out to be this TINY thread stuck in the bobbin case in one of the little metal cranies. The bobbin case had to be completely taken apart to find it... little tiny screws and everything. my dealer did it. I would have been scared to unscrew too much on my own!
Here's my Precious Dress....I am going to applique Belle on the apron when I get a chance...its supposed to look like Belle's Provincial dress...
I definitely new it was Belle! It is beautiful!
Too many Lily's??? This is also Lily's Easter dress
Not too many Lily's! SHe takes beautiful pictures! That dress is gorgeous. Love the fabric! Chicks are sooo cute!
Here is Lily's easter dress:
WOW! LOVE THIS!! That fabric is just stunning. She looks so cute in that. What fabric is that??
The way you said no squishing makes me want to buy the pattern. I seriously have 3 different patterns that look just like this dress when finished, but I always wonder what is so different about her patterns. I just can't justify the costs when I have so many patterns. I hate that...
Hubby would have a fit. Read further down to find out why...
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
Mindy
I would make white fabric straps. Gathered if possible. Love the chick app!
SEWING MACHINE QUESTION???
All of the sudden my brand new machine decides the threader isn't going to work I tried changing the needle in case it was bent and it wasn't lining up. That didn't work. i have done the old fashioned turned it off and on but nothing! Any suggestions? I am sure I can take it back to the place I got it and ask them to replace it but I don't think that should be happening after only a few months! I got it in February!
Is it an automatic needle threader? Some machines like Brother have the kind that you pull down and it really does auto thread. Is that it?
If so.. I've had 2 of them break on me. I'm pretty sure they break quite easily. Mine have broke 2 different ways. Once it wouldn't go down far enough to meet up with the needle eye and the second time it broke off the little metal thingy that you catch the thread on. Both times it cost me 15 dollars to replace the mechanisms. At least it isn't an expensive repair!
I love my needle threader. I guess I need to be more gentle with it.

I know I pm'd you, but couldn't you just straighten it with a scissor before you stitch it? Or am I just missing something completely?
I usually don't worry if something is uneven like that because it straightens out when I sew it because I try to sew as straight as possible.
CARLA WE NEED YOU!
Hey guys! I've been super busy and been lurking here on and off for the last several days. This is part of what I've been up to!
I LOVE Carla's new pattern! You really need it! Seriously! I'm planning several more. It is so versatile.
AbbyGrace is going to wear this on her birthday trip. Now I need to figure out which character meal to reserve so that she can wear it!
Shannon!!! She looks like a little doll in that. Wow!!! Your construction is perfect! I love the black piping and underskirt. Those shoes are fab too!
I love seeing a classic looking dress like this. just makes me
Hello
I have a question.
I've decided to make a set of placemats for our dining table and I've pieced the tops of them together. What should I put between the layers? I have a second fabric for the back of the placemats but I think quilt batting feels too thick for the middle layer. What do people usually use?
Any thoughts?
Thanks bunches!
I think someone suggested it already, but fleece maybe? You can get pretty thin batting too.
Thanks for all the suggestions for the silent auction. I am going on a field trip today with Jacob's 4th grade class so I am going to talk to the girls and see what they would like.
Love that outfit!
I think DH is getting me a Babylock Evolve!!!
Castle bed is in the room, and she's sleeping in it right now.
Pictures tomorrow!
