Re: Does Anyone Sew?
They say the sign of a cross stitcher is when the back is as neat as the front. I figure if no one sees it, who cares. I used to stitch all the time, then had hand surgery and haven't done it in years.
As for sewing, I hadn't done it much in years, then Kirsta started to ask for the Princess dresses. I hated to have her wear the itchy stiff dresses in the heat. So I converted tshirts and skorts to Princess summer wear. I wonder if I could find some pictures? Anyway, she's 8 now, and will only wear this stuff when we go to Disney now. I do have a 2yo neice, that I plan on taking to Disney in another year or so, when her mother will let her!!, so I have someone else to sew for.
Some of these are live and learn outfits. Belle, I forgot Kirsta shoves the waist band under her stomach. The Snow White and Aurora I loved. Cinderella, well, I should have put the puffs on the skirt, not the shirt.

Re: Does Anyone Sew?
I meant to thank everyone for the nice compliments. I got a little carried away showing my pictures. Right now I'm making a summer Prince Charming outfit for a 3yo Prince. I'll have to make sure to get a picture of it. Even though it's riddled with mistakes. I'm on a time crunch with it and I just keep making all these rookie mistakes.
I want to see some of the CrossStitch creations. I keep thinking I'd love to do the Castle.

Re: Does Anyone Sew?
OMG those are GREAT! when my girls were little, I sewed all their clothes except for jeans. Money saver there. But once they started Jr. High, I didn't have time to sew. I haven't really done any sewing for the DGD's, but I do a lot of repairs for everyone!
People who say money doesn't buy happiness...don't know where to shop!

Those are fabulous! You have a great talent.
I took sewing in middle school. I made a sweatshirt that looked great on the outside. ahem...it didn't look so good on the inside. Oh well, I can sew minor things.I am a travel agent with The Magic For Less Travel. Please private message me if you'd like help booking a trip!

Re: Does Anyone Sew?
Ahh yea...first..Im gonna send all my unfinished cross stich pieces to Diane, there are about 4,000,000 of them (some just need french knots, I cant do them then I get frustrated then it gets put in one of the many drawers and I get bored with it and start something else!) and I keep adding to it every year...go figure...second...oh you just keep posting those pictures! I wish I was that crafty...sewy...domestic...
And what the enemy will see? They will see the flash of our cannons, and they will hear the ringing of our swords, and they will know what we can do! By the sweat of our brow and the strength of our backs and the courage in our hearts! Gentlemen, hoist the colors!

Re: Does Anyone Sew?
I could never do french knots either. I always left that for my Mom to finish for me. Originally Posted by PsychoAlice

Re: Does Anyone Sew?
The pictures didn't come out that well. I dont know why I am having trouble with the camera. But you get the idea.
