YES! It is! And a funny story - the first day we were there, I was in the Marth Pullen booth looking for the book "Sewing with Whimsy". I knew I wanted to pick it up. So, I'm standing there looking at the books, I find it and turn around to tell Kira that I found it, and about this time, a woman that is sitting to the left of me at a table talking to people says, "honey, can I sign your book for you?" I said, "Sure!" And Kira says, "That's MARTHA! MARTHA PULLEN!" So she signed my book. She didn't write the book, but she published it. Since I don't get her show in my area, I've only seen a few pictures of her in Sew Beautiful. I didn't have a clue that it was her until Kira told me!
Haha.. such a cute story.
finished a cute princess set today.. really stuck to the machine today for this one!
lori
Really beautiful. I love how you did Cinderella on her own panel in the front.
I guess I am finished with Cinderella's workdress.... I was going to put Jaq on the other side of the apron, but Taylor told me not to this morning, she said she doesn't want any boys on it. Taylor is going to wear this into BBB for some "before" pictures. Do you think this looks like cinderella's workdress?
So cute! I think it is perfect.
How darling! I don't think I have ever seen the baseball pocket before.. so cute!
WOW! Thank you for sharing. I love the 4th of July Vida and the villains boys set. Why is it that the villains always look so good on stuff?? I can't say that I get why everyone likes them on outfits, but for some reason they look awesome on clothing.
Everyones a critic!!
So, I'm finishing a Minnie/Mickey set and trying it on it on DD6 to check for length etc. She gets the pants on which have Minnie and Mickey on them, then puts on the dress. She then says; "Pfft, this dress has nothing to do with Minnie!"
I had to laugh. I guess she's so used to having an applique on the bodice that the "bare" dress threw her off. Anyway...I'm making a few finishing pieces and hope to share the "Nothing to do with Minnie" set soon.
Hehe.. how cute. Hannah gets upset when I put just 1 character from a show. This is why I haven't made a strawberry shortcake dress yet. She said she needs all of the characters on it. I think we have 20 on the list so far...
Aww that is so adorable!! My mom just bought Marie for my DD from the
Disney store. She has renamed her Custard... hehe
Now she wants an outfit just like this one. I love the fabric you used.
OMG the talent!! I love that dress. its so freakin awesome!
Georgia is in summer school, and one of her little best friends is in her class she is on the heavier side and not the most well liked little girl by her new classmates. This is something that Georgia has never said anything about and just likes her little friend because they get along so well. I love that about my girl. However... one of the new classmates from another school in the valley called Georgia's friend Fat. (its horrible!) but the mom says right in front of both girls ,hers and mine. "well she is ugly so if she calls you fat just tell her she is ugly and needs to go back to the other side of town" I was blown away. I had to explain to Georgia how this was not ok. That we do need to use our words but not mean words. I dont know sometimes how to deal with the parents. I haven't talked to the mom yet. What do I say?
Wow.. sad that poor girl gets picked on, but her mom seems to be encouraging that behavior. If I were in your shoes I don't think I could say anything.. sounds like she'd probably just come right back at you.
Ty for the compliment on the dress. You are so sweet.
Hello all! I am enjoying reading and looking at at all the wonderful pictures. Love the Friends Around the World outfit; it looks like a winner to me!
I was working on an elastic back option for kid pants and finished the tutorial
HERE. Hope this help someone!
Ty about the dress.
Love this set.
Hopefully I can stay away from your tutorial for a few more years.
I keep forgetting to post about this pattern you are using. I find it kinda similar to a popular Children's Corner pattern named "Callie".
It is not opened in the back, so I think it might be a good option to those of you who don't want an open back. I have the pattern and haven't made it yet. I am wondering if the directions for putting the contrast fabric on might be better as well. I need to make this pattern now!
Wow! Cute kids/outfits! I love the Evil Queen set. DId you purchase the top or did you make it all yourself? I was just asking because it looks like a knit on top.. is it? I need to make more outfits with knits. Hannah loves them because they are comfy.
I'm loving all the Sleeping Beauty sets!! Here's mine using a pillowcase for the top. It doesn't have the collar, but the skirt has the pepulum.
WOW! That is gorgeous! I knew I should have gotten the raspberry petti!
Opinions please!!!
I made a skirt last year and loved how it came out. Not long after I tried a second with different fabric and it still sits unfinished because I wasn't happy with how it was looking. Since then I haven't tried again so I decided to try to see if I could. I'm just not sure about it. In some ways, I like it but it's just not quite what I was hoping for. Here's the first one I made:
Here's the newest (shown over a pettiskirt):
The first skirt was a smaller size than the latest so I'm thinking the difference in length is what I'm reacting too. I also think maybe the pinks of the fabrics I used are too much the same tone so there's not enough contrast for visual interest.
I'd love your honest critique of this skirt and any ideas for what I might do to improve on it.
THANKS!
Wow! That tink set is gorgeous. Those colors just look so good together. I have never seen a skirt done like that. Such a cute way to use lots of fabrics. I am not sure about the last one. I love it. Pink is always perfect to me.
Holy ruffles, Batman! That is sooooo adorable.
Haha.. I had to quote you just for that.
I will use this phrase irl.
Beautiful! I definitely need to make an Ariel set now. Too many temptations posted lately. Your fabric matching skills astound me.
I think you missed when we were in that serger class with the Bernina lady(the one who couldn't get her power point to work). The teacher says "I know most of you probably don't use your rolled hem alot because you have to change the color for each outfit you make.. I tend to use white on everything possible." Virgina then says rather loudly, "She needs a Babylock!" I thought we might get thrown out of that class.
We needed a rally shirt. Everyone in the house had a LSU shirt for the big game except for my DD. I whipped this one up in 45min before our company came over.
Geaux Tigers!! Really cute little top.
Where in Lousiana do you live? I live in Lafourche parish.
I may not have posted it. It was about this time last summer. I made 4 princess sets using pillowcases and got some of Emily's friends to model them together. I had bling and matching bows made for them all too. (They were all the first appliques I did on my new machine. I tested my new Kenmore on these. )
Oh wow! I do not remember seeing those pictures. Did you take them yourself? They are beautiful!! How precious!
Oh don't I know it! Unfortuntately, this dress:
just cost me nearly $800. Yes, our kitty decided to eat the leftover 6 inches of gold bias tape (bottom of dress). It nearly cost me $4000 as he was heading into surgery but after 3 days of not eating finally scarfed down a whole bowl of food. Thankfully!!! Anyway, there went my Baby Lock.
Oh my goodness.. I didn't laugh until you said there went your Babylock. I was shocked that you spent 800 dollars on fabric for one dress...
Glad your kitty is okay. I have heard thread can be very dangerous for kitties and small dogs.
And on that note I give you Cosette the 2 lb maid of honor!
My mom made her dress. The cutest part was on her back. I guess I don't have a picture of it
.
I'm too lazy to get the bigger pictures.. hehe
