Where else should a WAHM be than at home with her family. Wish you all the best with the move & am so looking forward to all the new fabric still to come. Good luck xox Hi Paula,

Time just moves so fast and i know how you feel about not quite knowing what your next goals were. Hey you took a leap and were out for a while but now you are leaping back. It will give you so much more satisfaction being able to be home and work when you cant sleep or have a few minutes. My advice (for what its worth because i am a total stranger :) ) is try not to overdo it and try to take too much on because of the fact that you are at home. Maybe set *work* hours and then maybe a couple of hours later in the evening a few times a week. Thar way you ge the best of both worlds. I dont have goals, hubby and i have a fruit property and i just tag along doing his, dont get me wrong im happy too, but mine seem so unattainable....it makes him cranky (lol) because he says i should have goals:) Anyway all the best, and i enjoy following you on facebook and hope that it all works out for you....esp the bub:) Hi i just wanted to say, what a lovely post.

And honestly hun, I think 99% of us WAHM's wish we had that dream store/shop front - mainly because we would like to see all of our loveliness 'done up' and on display for the world to see why we're passionate about it in the first place!! But like you have found out - the dream store costs us money & the time away from our little ones that grow WAY too fast! So I APPLAUD you for letting go of the warehouse & heading back home - AND for wanting to bring another bubba into your family. After all, that's what the Big Picture should be all about, right?!? GO GIRL! Still one of your biggest fans - Haylie @ Little Miss Fascinated xoxoxoxox YAY FOR ANOTHER BABY!!!!!

Fantastic fabric...love the Fabric Jungle!

I'm not sure right now, because I was so bmmeud when I made so many cutting mistakes.Regarding the shirring, I noticed that I had to actually hand wind the bobbin with a little bit of tension. Also, the longer your stitch length is, the more the fabric gathers.If you want to recover that project, you may want to try blasting the elastic with some steam from an iron. That seems to help gather the fabric a little more.Good luck! Laura – Thank you!Myrnie -I may try on the dress again.

Cool idea! I look forward to ntiyrg it!I have a question. Is it o.k. to use a knit fabric with this pattern? I'm pregnant and the baby is due in January, so I'm looking for cute, comfy, long skirts that I can wear during the winter.So, I planned on following the elastic band option with a rather wide band, using my hips measurements for the hot pink line. Any other alterations that you think might be helpful.Thanks for your time!Aloha! Hey! Cool idea! I look forward to ntiyrg it!I have a question. Is it o.k. to use a knit fabric with this pattern?
