I thought this photo was kind of cool!

The outfits are great!

Welcome Back! My mom was so excited to call me to tell me she met you! I actually posted the same story the day it happened. I will try to go back and find it for you since it was awhile ago! Of course the day she is spotted she is wearing the least exciting (and recycled) of all the outfits I made. Speaking of outfits, I made a Tiana Vida for our cruise last year that DD refused to wear but I sent it this trip and once again, she refused to wear it. Its a go to dress here at home but apparently not at Disney Oh well.

Hope you guys had a great time. DD was over the moon and talks about the trip non-stop. My mom is supposed to bring me her camera today so I can download her photos. Can't wait!

to your mom and daughter. It really was soooo cool to meet someone.

Found it! Too funny!!!

Yep, that was us meeting.

This is what I did yesterday:

This is Arminda's friend, Shelby. She is going to Disney World for the first time this week!!! She asked me to make her a Minnie Dot dress (which I don't have a picture of!) and a Drizella dress. She is practicing her Drizella pose in this picture. Love that girl!

They are eating at 1900 Park Fare on Friday night, so if anyone sees her, say hi and tell her you know me!

I love the shimmery fabric. I've never done 1900, but the more I read this thread the more interested I am in seeing the antics.

I thought this photo was kind of cool!

This is the best they did for this outfit.

Your handiwork is impressive. I recognize your mother! (she and I have similar hairstyles and color!) and the patchwork twirl I got to see in person.

Jeniamt,
I love the AK outfit. I have that fabric too!
I wanted to do a strip work with zebra, leopard, giraff, etc, but those dont seem to be "hip" because I can't find anything cept zebra. Was thinking I would use this, but didnt know how it would look- think Im going to dig it out and use it!

 

[weluvdizne]

The dress is great. Does the casing go all the way around or is it just in the back? And I like the fabric... doesn't look like it wrinkles.



Just downloaded my parent's pics. Here are a couple of the outfits (some you 'ol timers may have seen some before) Be prepared for photo overload:

I thought this photo was kind of cool!

My parents are great grandparents but not the best photographers! They missed taking pics of a bunch of outfits! And the small pictures are b/c they apparently don't know what the zoom button on their camera is. I tried to crop the photos but it didn't make the picture any bigger.

This is the best they did for this outfit.

You cannot imagine the strict instructions I gave them about taking pictures of her in the outfits but what can you do!?! They did take her to Disney World after all, geesh!

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for showing these pictures. It looks like they had a great time. You did a nice job on all her outfits. What a cutie!

 

[billwendy]

Teresa - those girls crack me up! I love that they are having FUN!!!!!

Love seeing that Jessie outfit in action too - oh well, the grandparents did take her I guess....lol...

I was wondering if anyone would make tote bags for Kade's sweet Grandma's that are going to help care for him on his trip???? Come on over and see the new boards!!!

 

[PurpleEars]

I LOOOVE Eeyore!!

This turned out real nice. I bet they love it. How sweet to make a matching bib. Great idea!

The matching bib is a great idea! It turned out great.

cool idea doing the ruffles on the sleeves and bottom. Also, very thoughtful to do a matching bib.

Eyeore is adorable and I know the families appreciate all that you do for them. Thanks for sewing for the gives, it is very kind.

Thanks for your kind words on the shirt/bib combo. I really enjoy sewing things for the Gives. I am blessed in so many ways in my life that I figured it is one of the small things I can do!

Sorry! I usually copy my photos from facebook, but they changed the photo format and it is messing me up. Here is a bigger pic

Sleeping Beauty with a scratched nose

Cute dresses and a cute model (scratched nose and all). Thanks for making them bigger! I tend to read the board on my phone during my commute so a small screen + moving train + poor eyesight = missing details on people's lovely creations if the pictures are small!

I finally found some of this Minnie Dot Fabric, but it costs $18.00 a metre! This is the first time I have seen it.

Yikes! That's very expensive. Hopefully you can get it for much less! I may be able to mail you some from my stash if you need them.

okay here are my kiddos from yesterday. I was so happy to get one of DS somewhat looking at the camera

Cute outfits and kids. Thanks for sharing your creations.

Hi ladies, I'm new to posting here, but have been lurking a long time. I found this thread just a couple weeks before our last Disney trip in 2009 and was very bummed I didn't really have time to make my DD anything for the trip. Well, we are going back in June and I just made her the cutest shirt for our trip. It is hot pink with a zebra ruffle and a zebra Mickey head. I would post a pic but I have long lost the cord that connects my camera to my computer. I just wanted to say thanks for all the inspiration and now I can head to the World happy I finally made her something for our trip!

Welcome! I hope your family will have a good trip!

This is what I did yesterday:

This is Arminda's friend, Shelby. She is going to Disney World for the first time this week!!! She asked me to make her a Minnie Dot dress (which I don't have a picture of!) and a Drizella dress. She is practicing her Drizella pose in this picture. Love that girl!

Wow. Good job on the dress. I am sure she will have a blast! Looks like she got her pose all ready to go!

Thanks for sharing the pictures. At least it looks like she had a good time even though the pictures of her in the outfits didn't turn out!

What cute pictures Teresa....the girls are getting so grown up! You did a great job on the dress. I can't believe how much snow there is still. We had 70 degrees here today after our record low temps (in the teens) last week at this time! Crazy Houston weather!

Hey...they get kuddos for taking her AND they took some pictures. You can tell they really enjoyed having her with them.

Thanks. They are known in school for their bows. if they go in with out a bow the Staff members as the girls if Mommy is sick?

Lol, my daughter is known for her bows too. Her older sisters wouldn't wear them so it is so fun for me to have a "Girly-Girl" the second time around!

Yep...my girls and my DGDs had bows in their hair from DAY 1 and never knew any different.

I had my DGD6 over this weekend and I taught her to make the fleece blankets (we are sending them to the Big Give for Haiti). She completed one of them and she was soooo proud. She did most of the cutting and tying herself. I used blue tape to mark off where she needed to cut. It worked like a charm and she had the hang of it in no time.

And just because I had them this weekend (one on Saturday and one on Sunday) and it was super beautiful weather. I took them to the park and took lots of pictures. I had to share a couple of my favorites.

 

[froggy33]

I finally finished my dissertation - all 185 pages!!! I'll have my PhD in just over a week!

And now I can finally get some sewing done (it's been a few late nights recently)! This is what I made my daughter for Valentine's. It's a ModKid pattern. Went together pretty easily! It was great to get back into it!

She was VERY posey!!

Thanks for looking!

I can't believe it - short sleeves in February?! The park pictures are beautiful. Thanks for sharing them (even though the pictures make me want to go somewhere warm!)

Seeing your post is the reason why I came back to post again tonight. Congrats on getting your dissertation done! As someone who has "been there, done that", I just can't imagine working on a dissertation while raising a young child, so kudos to you for finishing. I am sure your family is very proud of you.

She looks very cute in the Valentine's Day outfit. Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Thank you! It has been a long 6 years!! Luckily I have a great PI who is really flexible and understanding! All I have left is a presentation and some tough questioning by my committee. I can't wait!

CONGRATULATIONS!! That is a huge accomplishment! Good luck with the committee questions, etc.

The outfit on your DD is adorable. Did you hand applique it? I love the postage stamp look!

Adorable Anita!! And how great that she made her blanket for the kids in Haiti!!!!!! That is just so wonderful!!

Thank you both! I will tell her! Her attention span was longer than I expected. I hope she will come help with the others. It gives them such a pride in themselves when they can finish something.

Hey guys just subbing I had a name change

Hey Callie - Love your Avatar picture! Have you posted that dress on here yet? I don't remember seeing it.

 

[WyomingMomof6]

Aww, how sweet that she made a blanket! What a great idea to tape it, I'll have to do that for Alexa and Connor. I was planning on having them each help make one.

I love that picture of her looking out! They must have been having too much fun to get more pictures!

Teresa, what kind of fabric did you use for the dresses? Is it taffeta?

Arminda's dress was a poly satin, but the one I made for Shelby was something else! The green was tafettaish (I'm going to say that's a real word!) The blue was almost a sheer fabric (the bodice is well lined!). I really am not sure what you would call it. They are both kind of shimmery. I let Shelby pick through my stash and find the fabrics she wanted.

\
I love the shimmery fabric. I've never done 1900, but the more I read this thread the more interested I am in seeing the antics.

It is my FAVORITE meal! The food is great and the characters are superb!! Well the steps are great, usually Cinderella is a bit of a dud!

Teresa - those girls crack me up! I love that they are having FUN!!!!!\

Thanks Wendy, they really were!!

\
Wow. Good job on the dress. I am sure she will have a blast! Looks like she got her pose all ready to go!

I sure hope she has fun! We have really built 1900 Park Fare up, so I hope she isn't dissapointed!

I'm so sick of winter. It really wasn't warm enough for the girls to be outside without coats, but they weren't out long. We've had a warm up this week and in those pictures, a lot of the snow had melted. On Sunday, there was so much melting that there was a little stream running down our road! It was ind of neat!

Your DGDs are so cute!!! It's nice to see it has warmed up for you guys this week! I couldn't believe how cold you had it the other week!

Hey guys just subbing I had a name change

Hey Callie!

 

[Charmaine]

Playing with a new pattern...and finished a dress I started over a year ago...still need to do the buttons!! (Easter Stripwork Jumper).

Thanks for letting me share!

 

[squirrel]

Yikes! That's very expensive. Hopefully you can get it for much less! I may be able to mail you some from my stash if you need them.

So far, I don't need it. I couldn't believe that Fabricland finally had some. It was so new it was still in a box, but was tagged with the price.

I haven't even started sewing for the next trip. I'm so far behind. I got a new kitten in December. I haven't been able to start working on making the Vida pattern I was going to start in January. I'll have to find a time when Pippi (the kitten) will sleep for a while, otherwise she will distroy the pattern before I finish.

I posted earlier the Valentine's Day shirt I made for my DD6. and here are both Girls:

Thanks for looking

Looks awesome -- love the jeans!

Oh I forgot I have a sewing project to share now that the Big Give package has arrived. This is what I made for Khelsey - a Patricia tunic with Eeyore trim/ruffles:

I also added a matching bib to it, though it may ended up a touch too thick to use as a bib:

Thanks for looking. Now I am off to sew other things for the current Gives!

I saw this on the Big Give but wanted to comment here as well how nice it looks. And the rosetta bag Shelby got matches! Did you send the pillow cover too? I have a pillow and made a couple of covers for it. And I'm worried about the first two bibs I made too -- they are a little hard to tie due to the thickness. I'm making a third one now with modifications. I can't wait to actually see Khelsey's real bibs in person to see what I'm doing wrong.

This is what I did yesterday:

This is Arminda's friend, Shelby. She is going to Disney World for the first time this week!!! She asked me to make her a Minnie Dot dress (which I don't have a picture of!) and a Drizella dress. She is practicing her Drizella pose in this picture. Love that girl!

They are eating at 1900 Park Fare on Friday night, so if anyone sees her, say hi and tell her you know me!


and, just because they are silly, here are pictures I took of Shelby with Arminda and Lydia

That's Lyddie in the white


These girls crack me up.

HILARIOUS!!!! (the girls, not the dress!) The dress is beautiful and I love the Drizella pose. I also think Arminda's boots are a "lovely" compliment to her attire!

Just downloaded my parent's pics. Here are a couple of the outfits (some you 'ol timers may have seen some before) Be prepared for photo overload:

I thought this photo was kind of cool!

I love everything! I think I used the same Jasmine pic for my dd -- I did hers on a Portrait Pesant with an apron b/c I already made too many Vidas. I even have that same black fabric on my dd's dress.

I had my DGD6 over this weekend and I taught her to make the fleece blankets (we are sending them to the Big Give for Haiti). She completed one of them and she was soooo proud.

Great job on the blanket! I refused to let my kids do them b/c I didn't feel like taping them.

I LOVE the last pic of your GD -- it's a beautiful photo. We had 67 on Monday and will be in the 70's on Friday. Sadly that means I should do some yardwork and not sew

I finally finished my dissertation - all 185 pages!!! I'll have my PhD in just over a week!

And now I can finally get some sewing done (it's been a few late nights recently)! This is what I made my daughter for Valentine's. It's a ModKid pattern. Went together pretty easily! It was great to get back into it!

Love the outfit, especially the postage stamp!

It is my FAVORITE meal! The food is great and the characters are superb!! Well the steps are great, usually Cinderella is a bit of a dud!

Our Cinderella was really good there. I had Lucifer appliqued on the back of dd's dress and Cinderealla first came out and told me dd's how her stepsisters raved about her dress and then told my dd that Lucifer was seen just yesterday chasing Mickey Mouse and how naughty of a cat he was and my dd kept talking about Lucifer chasing Mickey all week long.

Playing with a new pattern...and finished a dress I started over a year ago...still need to do the buttons!! (Easter Stripwork Jumper).

Thanks for letting me share!

Very nice --love the rose!
