I have plenty of fond memories of 80's commercials. Like the old McDonalds ones with Grimace and the Hamburglar.<br /><br />This was kind of like that...<br /><br /><br />Except when Hamburglar came out from the back he was a little sloppy and I believe he was stalling, since he kept bending over to tie his big shoes (which I don't even think had laces on them). Even through the costume he looked so uncomfortable. <br /><br />Was he getting a massage?<br /><br /><a href="http://s293.photobucket.com/albums/mm42/ribbons-and-pigtails/BLOG/?action=view¤t=IMG_4895.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm42/ribbons-and-pigtails/BLOG/IMG_4895.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />Grimace on the other hand kept those childhood memories alive and danced with the kids.....<br /><br /><a href="http://s293.photobucket.com/albums/mm42/ribbons-and-pigtails/BLOG/?action=view¤t=IMG_4886.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm42/ribbons-and-pigtails/BLOG/IMG_4886.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s293.photobucket.com/albums/mm42/ribbons-and-pigtails/BLOG/?action=view¤t=IMG_4894.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm42/ribbons-and-pigtails/BLOG/IMG_4894.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />Wait!

Normal? tank top instead! :-) Follow all pattern instructions except your raw strips! follow this in the place of that portion of the pattern...<br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP6J7Prn9ywg_jT6BMGjat9DnoGOaDrUWNgg0bh0ZC-eCgR8DHgwHaf_XMeoQM9b3pu8NAW6eSuwI3x245Zf1ZsuSDXxyZLRlctIh7GeQJqV6rOvMfy8tZxF1zZ9sSRTbBVrAdgr1PhKQ5/s1600/IMG_6337+copy.jpg" <br /><br />Cut strips of stretchy knit fabric (like jersey or rib knit) 4" long. I usually cut the strips as wide as I can using the entire width of the fabric. <br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI3EtKq7tYpn5OD4ei0Q4bQUnJ3Mk5rhyphenhyphenHfMBqQdSYL0Oy-NA8yXEUnXYL3VjwUHXNbdYkIqVDtzHQqe2O41ZvEjtXDi_DnZG_oE6bPFrUX9egJOh54takgPA4VI7ZzOo_AT53IreHU5lx/s1600/IMG_6340+copy.jpg" <br /><br />Fold your 4" strips in half, making them 2". Match the raw edges of the strips with the raw edge of one of the the arm openings in your tank top front piece. Pin down all the way accross the arm opening. Once all the way accross trim off what is left to use on the next arm opening!<br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi60aJSrmxAkqavkjoyc12qXMk_M0fPyGqnTVctbjH39lLTtxynFgkzV6N5kAXY5Ow7kWw2gnLm4JAi2BMe7TCQ4gy7zSTPPsVi_GwlU1X31GLvOPQdSmJqnTw-_bissUdDp1Z0cyocCcfN/s1600/IMG_6341+copy.jpg" <br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhOxIpgBSMX8gD-fsNGXiWTklBKuyfkkwvR9eFokQfXxPoz-iGE83IxmPhv3VHQVHvcIlHzxROS5g-BG_x2BTb-g5SaChygN4LKZjftxiPGMeG9qgbLOfGLLiAwql9st4rkKfqw7pwHHfB/s1600/IMG_6343+copy.jpg" <br /><br />Go to your machine and stitch in place. I then serge the raw edges, if you do not have access to a serger no problem... just either zigzag or overcast stitch the raw edges with your sewing machine. NOTE... knit fabrics normally do not fray... so if you choose you can leave your edges raw as well! :-)<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHtvOjjxn9XXBA6RXavKUZARutttZcWWmmDNC7SMU-UqXpXN4trNj4-i-OfiPCfdAttH__T9Xrlb8tX381s2yDdxk12fWhuM1wfszc1-NdYe9WfxU7TAnInUFd_NFLFGl9xIfQTJWKmk3x/s1600/IMG_6344+copy.jpg" <br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqKJAPjLRIBEINCYF6v1NCsbKUmGUUGieYuQuIoNkotP4-1CSl473qG5mG17NJoxQ3fiYmrrEo6cPgt1cWhfFyLrmnyZ-gKpt5vbp5lK8hHUB0oLtPIuRyqRHUp29e-ktrzSA7jH-s3-A1/s1600/IMG_6345+copy.jpg"<br /> <br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZofMgWR3G5pvYztgzEQoHh9l3I047YxuQkwVd5f2BoaqRxC7tDss4AhlfNZdUCspBm-pmiO_r6ewUBrReqkMGOinKGhD95JLjsuVxVLD3vPgqbe603RUhCEafzHgB0viNoZS7pdbtAaTA/s1600/IMG_6346+copy.jpg" <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Now off to the sewing machine again... now you will need to top stitch your seam down... this makes for a much neater and more professional finished look!<br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiqFCsUoMlto4gxiMUVdkOS8N4AE6_5xWjmzxrwjMnqOJoL6JCuw_Wr97m_1KCPwVn_r9T2Dk3udTJj74uguVWcJrRwQXeGWAIcrw6mT-F9U8ugoMMsjoGaYVcPL3ELMmy9BZgaPivgFtI/s1600/IMG_6348+copy.jpg" <br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOvz3vbWlTwJvjfWGAN7JMVEDyubQ-CNFP1eKHmMd40P82ZuXySDzMD6L7vmNYAAQQihpa6qdl9O1tLtIUFcN3cP8AXIFDme5fzE6i0JyFGtrHybZDBabK7kd-MkJJG30q61892r2P4kTM/s1600/IMG_6349+copy.jpg" <br /><br /><br />Follow these steps with all arm and both neck and bottom openings. Now you will follow all instructions that came in your pattern to construct your top. I have decided to show you another option also... I am going to simply hem the bottom of this tank top instead of using our red band of fabric on the bottom...<br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD9sExVPMWyT_yz191Vq491GqporAwqlGJGtbylMISamYPgQLjQmmk6cEGaBDtfcCpzELElMCRwTLLUEoJcRRkVQfsmPMnH_mz4TZTh5hLX4mhdI2CMbfM6BWF6ymJYUgWp4xDAcvX0_7A/s1600/IMG_6351+copy.jpg" <br /><br /><br />I serged the bottom first, all the way around. Next, I folded up 1/2" all the way around. Now Press, and go to the sewing machine! Sew with either a zigzag or a straight stitch (its all in what you like the look of better) And your finshed!<br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSysmlfsMjs0-6cfZU_6D5BnQUX9haAhM0JcLwGOIwusX52jhXc9l0B_RaNhgijNs9UjxWEouswdlcF3mygFXo9Qex1-pGCLQ4J-69lNs_N5C7q_K6yxzCIVdloWpTstF9q2-4DJX0sEx2/s1600/IMG_6352+copy.jpg"<br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiclxNHXqgzYHwd1_-0M1Dx-sdhXRFOzk5flFke5YqcYdzzbInumXQEUr5vgfGKe-KAhHzkGQGFgPNQNTz1jVsBIERJUWVteRWud2AoLssWz-3BWgW1ND4IUza8l1EaQVrqoeEsC_C1yYM_/s1600/IMG_6353+copy.jpg"<br /><br />The flower on this tank top was a lot of fun too... I just used strips of a t-shirt that I was using when making a matching skirt! Runched the strips up and stitched on!

Getting to the parks just in time to catch the last show of the night. Getting goosebumps seeing Fantasmic for the 100th time. (Man I heart that lil' mouse, white gloves and all) Waking up at 6 to get myself and the little ones ready to get to MK on time to see Mickey open the park. Going on Splash Mountain, and seeing my two monkeys with their hands high in the air, squealing shouts of pure glee. Exhausting ourselves from playing all day, to then finally crashing in our hotel room......</div><div><br /></div><div>Then of course, starting all over again the next day.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Honey....<i>when</i> are we going back again? ;)</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><a href="http://weheartit.com/">SOURCE</a> for all the fantastic photos.</span></div></div></div>Ribbons and Pigtailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03595868266911740013noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115832771901752019.post-81673928231882439322010-03-29T05:39:00.000-07:002010-03-29T06:25:23.199-07:00<span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtuc84w-BdeJblM8Tw0v0R1ey-uciZS_NPbNBKNMElzYfkCTlRzMLXj7Wqs-sItGl0Yvnqjc9DdW89x5vfLBE9IL4yGzZicV8f9C2lUSF8vPo-aLkVGoCBvE871TH9fsGLkNO8QQ4W_mEw/s1600/tumblr_kzfo3sWy5H1qzem4zo1_400_large.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtuc84w-BdeJblM8Tw0v0R1ey-uciZS_NPbNBKNMElzYfkCTlRzMLXj7Wqs-sItGl0Yvnqjc9DdW89x5vfLBE9IL4yGzZicV8f9C2lUSF8vPo-aLkVGoCBvE871TH9fsGLkNO8QQ4W_mEw/s320/tumblr_kzfo3sWy5H1qzem4zo1_400_large.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454038922812317202" /></a><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtuc84w-BdeJblM8Tw0v0R1ey-uciZS_NPbNBKNMElzYfkCTlRzMLXj7Wqs-sItGl0Yvnqjc9DdW89x5vfLBE9IL4yGzZicV8f9C2lUSF8vPo-aLkVGoCBvE871TH9fsGLkNO8QQ4W_mEw/s1600/tumblr_kzfo3sWy5H1qzem4zo1_400_large.jpg"></a><br />I am not sure where I first saw this, but I love it.

I NEVER thought I could draw, paint let alone SEW! I remember when I first decided to start sewing, I asked (let's call her Ms. X) if she could show me how to navigate my way through a pattern. Ms. X was very persistent that patterns had to be followed to a "T". Every notch had to line up, and if not....well HA! So in my ignorance to her, I asked, if the patters are so tedious to follow, could I make my own? I still remember her dauntingly laughing and telling me there was NO WAY! <br /><br />I am not going to lie and say that this in no way slowed me down, that I victoriously showed her! In fact, it did discourage me. She knew how to sew, and I was just beginning. I did end up trying again and being able to conquer my fears. The best part is that I love to sew, and if I would have listened, I would have missed out on this great blessing.<br /><br />I wanted to write this for all of you that think that you are not creative. You can't sew. That is way too hard! I am here to tell you...TRY. You may realize that you are creative, you CAN sew and even though some projects can be hard, the end result are worth it....and you may even fall in l♥ve!!<br /><br />On to the tutorial:<span style="color: #ff0033;font-size:300%;">The Ribbons and <br>Pigtail's Braided Headband </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnGnzN77gAaDOywAIk1_Av0wtb5cBZCgVdporZVh26MjLdfa6vATnwgViJFavCZqVH1U-3dNf_CQgyEJYcugtuX96dwBMMevycXooIGTLrIJFxvG0oxfnXgER8ia-z1bgjmBFwwTurzPXz/s1600-h/IMG_3620.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnGnzN77gAaDOywAIk1_Av0wtb5cBZCgVdporZVh26MjLdfa6vATnwgViJFavCZqVH1U-3dNf_CQgyEJYcugtuX96dwBMMevycXooIGTLrIJFxvG0oxfnXgER8ia-z1bgjmBFwwTurzPXz/s320/IMG_3620.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449978055954754578" /></a><br /><br /><br />With this tut, I wanted to use up my bag of scraps, so I did it with that in mind. All you will need is some scraps, thread, pins and your sewing machine. I am giving you the dimensions that I used for a toddler headband, but you can change it up to make your own.<br /><br />I started off taking 3 fabrics, lining them up and cutting 3 strips 15" by 3" as seen here:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOWKyPSdskGe4mRKP7B1qPH7jB1g1az3KjoY5yqH4EaPwmhMAOH4qDSyy7MO-hcO959Dx6xYx2IK9o_x7t8M-74MNFAZeTxldbSmtkfs9DbuwX6x4ETZb7yk4R058LuK15_r0qYpbcFJfC/s1600-h/IMG_3589.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 118px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOWKyPSdskGe4mRKP7B1qPH7jB1g1az3KjoY5yqH4EaPwmhMAOH4qDSyy7MO-hcO959Dx6xYx2IK9o_x7t8M-74MNFAZeTxldbSmtkfs9DbuwX6x4ETZb7yk4R058LuK15_r0qYpbcFJfC/s320/IMG_3589.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449977384751810466" /></a><br /><br />I folded the 3 strips in half (lengthwise...the 15" turn into 7.5) and stared cutting strips about 3/4 of an inch in width.

I will certainly be trying this one out, and once I do, I will post pictures :) We just moved into a new house and through my mind that is clouded with the idea of never ending boxes, I have some ideas for decorating that I CAN'T wait to try out. One of them was using old mason jars for the bathroom to hold toothbrushes, q-tips, cotton balls...etc. This idea fits in perfectly.</div>Ribbons and Pigtailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03595868266911740013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115832771901752019.post-65367685709777959772010-02-08T21:18:00.000-08:002010-02-16T09:45:24.875-08:00tiaras and tulle<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmSq8hbzuAUPdH90wyTELpyMspAC2wojETi2jwPrfS-Js66RlY_vyp2C9_V0y1NdpPU4us2v5E28Iji5xMJGDysiWh6dnDcJWnW0bIzMJO0QPeEBeB7NKNnodQM-BAFSfodMOgnoaPi26O/s1600-h/20090703174841.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;
