Okay, it's official, I don't need any more grandkids. I still have to do a rolled hem on 3 dresses and then all 5 Sea World customs will be done. I would like to do a little sleeveless tshirt for DGS1 and applique something on it to go with his fishy shorts but I don't have a pattern small enough. Don't know if I'll get something figured out in time or not. We are leaving Sun. for San Antonio, and then Sea World on Mon. After it closes that night we will drive on down to Corpus Christi and spend Tues and Wed on the beach and then head home on Thurs. We just decided a couple of weeks ago to make a quick getaway with all of the grandkids and their parents (minus my son-n-law, he has to work), 5 adults and 5 kids, before school starts back up.

They do sell them separately and are about $10 each. My dd usually gets the pop princess style and then we buy a separate crown and stick it in to make it extra princessey! They even have one with a skull and crossbones crown!

Oh are you seriouis about the skull and crossbones one??? Do they sell it right at BBB??? Because my DD is doing the Pirate cruise and we will definately NEED that crown. It will be the morning after her BBB appt, so I know the hair will still be in rock solid!!!

OT Topic alert!!!

Please send a few extra prayers and pixie dust out for my son and his wife (parents of my one and only DG2) They just became the proud parents (even though it may be only temporary) to her sister's 18 month old and 6 month old sons!

Bio Mommie Dearest failed a mandatory drug test and DFACS took the kiddies away. Not sure how this will effect our Disney rip in September, but really glad the two little ones are out of the situation they were in!

(hmmm...maybe a few shirts and easy fits for the boys...it's doable...right?)

Wow that is a lot for any family to have to deal with! I'm glad the kids are in a safe environment now!

Just wanting to issue a warning to all of my disboutique friends!!!!!!!!! I have been looking on craigslist for some time now for an embroidery machine. I would love an embroidery machine with a 6x10 field but can't afford one. Today there was one listed on the Dallas craigslist for a Bernina Artista 730E for $1000. When I checked out the specs and compared prices on ebay I realized it was a steal at that price. So I contacted the seller and they said they would mail it to me since they had now relocated to Toronto and would take payment from Western Union. So, of course, I now know it's a scam. Just disappointed that I can't get the machine. I knew immediately that it was a scam since it wanted payment through Western Union but just in case someone didn't know, don't fall for it!

And now my search continues for an embroidery machine. Although I think I'm going to buy the Brother PE700II machine that so many of you have on here. Other than the machine, what else will I need to use that machine initially (other than fabric, stabilizer, thread, etc.)? I am counting on becoming a great customer of Heather's so I'm not planning on digitizing my own designs, but what software would I need if I wanted to?

OHHHHHH. I went to a brother dealer by the house yesterday to get a new overcasting foot & was looking at the PE7000 while I waited. Wow, I would love to get a larger hoop. Hope you get your machine soon.

Prayers on their way for sure! What an undertaking for them!!!



NaeNae- Sounds like you'er in for a fun time! I can hardly wait until I have so many grandchildren to sew for that I say "I think I don;t need anymore !" Please post the outfits so we can see!!

Good morning! I cheated and bought an outfit on Etsy. I haven't heard from seller. I sent her Isabelle's measurements at the beginning of the week. Do you think it's OK?

Can I post a pic if no child is wearing it?

They have a new one out. But it's only 5X7 also. It's PE750D. I think it runs about $800. It has a thread cutter button and an automatic needle threader. I keep looking, but I can't afford it right now. So I'm living with my little 4X4.

Too cute! I just love those mermaids!!

Here are the outfits I made for our trip to AK last year before I really knew how to sew or discovered that I could make actual outfits that to YCMT and this message board! The girls wore them to the zoo the other day.

I have no idea who the seller of your dress is. But I sell a lot of customs on Ebay and Etsy. Sometimes I'm really quick and respond to every email. Sometimes I spend VERY long days at the sewing machines making deadlines and don't get the computer time I really need. So it is quite possible she got your measurements and will be on to your order very soon. This does not tend to be a really busy time yet in the customs business though....

That said, I know there have been a small number of sellers who tend to give the rest of us a bad wrap and don't follow through.

We'll assume she's at the sewing machine filling orders. But I NEVER get bothered by someone sending a followup message asking for confirmation. Just email her to confirm and ask when you can expect shipment.

It looks very cute! Good luck!

Too Cute!! I LOVE that mermaid fabric!! Both sets turned out adorable, and the angel wings on the tank are perfect!

You AK sets are adorable too. I think zebra and hot pink is my favorite combo.

Oh are you seriouis about the skull and crossbones one??? Do they sell it right at BBB??? Because my DD is doing the Pirate cruise and we will definately NEED that crown. It will be the morning after her BBB appt, so I know the hair will still be in rock solid!!!

We bought it at the World of Disney Store in DTD, I can't remember if they had it in BBB.
