Nice!  It looks so warm too.

I was just thinking about making one of these today!  So funny.  I love the fabric you chose!

Sweets4ever...thank s for the idea.  I'll check it out.  I've tried it with photobucket but when I go to kinkos to print it out some of the picture gets cut out and I have to shrink it which then gives me white siding that I'd rather not have.   
I'll try picnik next!
Thanks

We've been trying to htink of ideas for our save the dates and I think we just came up with a possibility...turni ng a photo into a postcard which really all it is is turning it over putting a stamp on the back, addressing it, and writing a message. 

I was wondering if anyone knew an application I could use to write the actual date and a little message on the photo itself.  We have a mac and use iphoto but I don't think there's a way using iphoto so I was wondering if any of you creative people knew how to do it. 

I would love some help!  Thanks!

I have to say that I find these hooded zipped hoodies a bit creepy but...

It looks to me like the jacket just has a really long zipper.  I would probably start putting the zipper in the hood where it starts to curve in the back or right at the top of the head and then have it go all the way down to the bottom.  Hmm...about seeing through the eyes...make patches of see through, black fabric between the lining and exterior of the hood.  hmmm....definitely a challenge.  I'll keep it on my mind though

I'm not sure on how to go about the other project idea though.  Sorry. 

About your kid wanting the "real" thing...I was one of those kids that never got the real thing and my mom always handled it bluntly saying "I'm not paying $70 for something when I can get the same thing for $20."  I really think it was a good lesson.  After the first time it happened I put it together. 

Anywho, good luck and I can't wait to see what you decide to do...and the end product. 

Perhaps putting something on there that is a personal joke?

I know this isn't the same thing but I know that middle school people love sweatshirts like this and thought I'd send it to you.  It would be much easier to make with freezer paper stencils and white fabric.  Just thought I'd pass it along.  Good luck.

I love the dress!  I saw one similar to this recently and have wanted to make one but do not have that October issue!  Dang!  I'll have to find a pattern similar. 
Great job!

I love the style and the fabric!  Great job!

Nice!  I recently made 2 pencil skirts out of old pants.  gotta love it!
