After breaking my LONG standing rule to never sew for Barbie, all I can say is I will NEVER again complain about sewing for the AG.
D~ (Dorine) was looking for the fabric for a BG -- I know she only needs a small amount so you may want to PM her.WyomingMomgets first dibs! -( this is the only way I can put pictures up.)otherwise first come first trade!
For those looking - I have some HP fabric. Here is a pic of the fabric I have the most of. It is sparkle fabric I have about 3 yrds I can part with.
Here is another print -I have about 1.5 - 2 yrds I can part with. It does not say HP on it but has Polyjuice Potion ingredients on it and says Polyjuice Potion.
Thanks,
Carol

Just popping in with an update on my FIL...
Since last update, he has gone home from the nursing home. He was not getting the care he needed there so his wife set up a hospital bed at home and had a home nurse come in. He has still been not doing well. This weekend he told his wife he will not got back to the hospital and signed a DNR. So, today he has been referred to Hospice. We are waiting for his evaluation from Hospice today to see what we need to do. Most likely DH will travel to Ohio tomorrow alone and come back Thursday so he can spend some time with his dad. Just say some prayers is all I ask. These are difficult days.
Yes, we will still be in Florida. We have a timeshare that is close to Animal Kingdom. Maybe we could meet up at DTD one of your days? I'll PM yah.Aww man! Still a trip to Florida right? Am I understanding correctly. We're actually swinging by Disney for just 2 quick nights on the way to Tampa to visit my G'ma. I manage to sneak little trips in everywhere!
Thanks! We're only going to be in DW from mid May 14 - morning May 16th, so there wasn't too much to sew and a decent amount of time to do it in, so I was able to make something for myself - plus this pattern goes together really quickly!! And that's coming from me who takes forever to even make a simply sweet! Of course for this short trip I am making my daughter 4 customs, me 1 shirt, my dad one shirt, and I hope to make a rosetta back and a boxy bag!!! Only 3 things left!
Mine looks just like that. Except I don't have that furniture, the nice table, the chair, the color organization, the wall storage, etc. But like Teresa, I do have scraps of fabric, tons of pieces of threads and even kitty litter bits on the floor. I also currently have bits of tracing paper all about.
I LOVE to do ITH!!! .
My first attempt at a multiquote...
ETA and I was successful at a multiquote
Thanks for sharing!!!!Okay, doing my part to cheer up the American (and Canadian) sewers of the world. I made this over a year ago primarily to see how crayon rolls are put together. NOT like this one apparently. I couldn't even talk any of my broken crayons into sitting in it long enough for a photo.
Don't know how well the photo will show up, but I thought it would be good for ruffles.
I hope we get a chance to meet up!5/11 to 5/18. Can't wait! Work has been insane so this is a much needed trip. I'm going with 2 friends to celebrate a big birthday. One friend has a work obligation so we can't go on my actual bday. You know I haven't tried to buy coffee syrup in a while but I'm sure I can find it and if I can't find it near me my sister lives less than 30 minutes from the RI border. Would be great to see you again!
I probably will be. I'm sure your DD is a lot bigger than when I saw you in Epcot before. Was that Dec 09? Seems like a lifetime ago now. That weekend is some special Cars 2 celebration but I haven't heard what they are actually doing.
Does anyone know which is older--Anastasia or Drizella? Trying to figure out which one to make for which kid.
ETA: found it! I've been searching forever & didn't find it until AFTER posting here, of course! It's Drizella.
This is ADORABLE!!!! I love that vintagey fabric and your daughter is adorable!I hate to admit it, but I have had the Audrey Ruffle Skirt pattern for probably 4.5 months and just used it for the first time today. The Gymboree near my house had a huge mega clearance sale and I got my DD the kitty tee for $2, I thought it would look cute with a kitty print skirt... and since I now know how to use my serger I was able to do the rolled hem on the ruffles. I am in love so much easier than pressing small hems or praying the narrow hem foot doesn't stitch weird. Anyways... picture overload, but I am proud!
This is just lovely. I am scared to try this along with my serger. I actually need to find time to just get to work with it.
I can finally post this out fit I did for Hannah's Give. this is for Abigail and I combined a bunch of different tutorials with different things I liked
Got some clothes done for my little cousins. They had birthdays last month, so these are late B-Day presents from me.
For Amber:
Winnie the Pooh Insa and Brooklyn Tank Top.
HeatherSue embroidery and the I made the Insa a skort instead of having a double skirt.
And I also made her a Piglet T-Shirt.
Raglan by CarlaC and Piglet from HeatherSue
For her little brother Riley:
Thomas the tank Engine Easy fits and T-Shirt
Lightning McQueen Bowling Shirt

Hi girls - I've been lurking not really sewing lately. Trying to do curtains for our camper we bought. The ones that were in there were kinda of yucky color and very faded.
I do have one question, my DD5 has a bitty baby, I know many of you make clothes for the AG bigger doll, do you know of any sites that have clothes for the bitty baby?
wanted to make something cute for a friend but her fav character is DONALD...I CAN"T FIND DONALD!!!! ARRGGGHHHH HAs anyone seen any fabric with him???
This is adorable!!!I just want you all to know you have inspired me. This was my 2nd ever sewing piece. It's not Disney but I am making a Mickey/Minnie inspired one for MK and a top for Epcot as well. I don't have an embroidering machine so nothing like that yet
Just wanted to say Thank you for your INSPIRATION!!!
I made this skirt for dd for Valentine's Day ~ but it's mainly kitties with some hearts so she wears it all the time. I took photos when I made it but she had on a shirt that was way too big and it made the skirt look awful. It looks much better with this shirt:
I still want to applique a t-shirt with a cut out of the kitty fabric, but not at the top of my priority list right now.
And I made this rag bed for my dog's crate. Didn't pad it nearly enough so I now use it as a throw over their crate bed and it's so thin they just dig in it and scrunch it up. I'm really mad I did not make it thicker
Thanks for looking!
Ok, let's see - I've sewn some things in the last few days.
Yeah. I'm excited about the Grinch fabric. Some of it looks really cute. It's due the middle of next month, but it is hard to think about Christmas in May.
So, here are a few things I made for the girls' tutors and the students in my class from our co-op.
For the adults...... I had asked is anyone had a pattern. I ended up just winging it.
OT: Please pray for the victims for storms in my state -- Arkansas. We had very minor damage - a tree came down in our back yard and hit our neighbor's house. Minor damage to our fence and their gutter pipe. We can clean it up in a day or two be back to normal.
But 3 children were killed last night in our state due to trees falling on their houses. They found a mom holding her 7 year old son in her arms dead from a tree this afternoon - he called her in his room due to being scared so she went to comfort him. Her 18 month old daughter was fine. So so heartbreaking! That happened about just 6 miles from our home. An 18 month old and her dad who she was sleeping with both died and a 6 year died in his home. This just breaks my heart. It puts our lost tree, broken fence and damaged gutter in perspective.
And happier news -- another doll dress for a birthday party.
It's nice to see you posting again!!! These outfits are all amazing! I love the Anastasia!I haven't posted for awhile, but I finally finished Disney outfits for our trip to DW in a few weeks and thought I'd share.
I got the idea for this outfit from someone on here (it was a skirt and t-shirt), but my DD insisted on only dresses.
For 1900 Park Fare (DD went as Drizella last year and wanted to be Anastasia this time!)
I love this!
I finished Jasmine's skirt last night. It's a smidgin tighter and shorter than I wanted it, but I think I am going to leave it that way. I hope to post pictures by the end of the day.
D~
Both outfits are just AMAZING!!!!!!!! Love them!!!!
They sound adorable - lots of ideas already mentioned - I did a round neck top a few times with pillow panels and they came out nice,,,
We just decided to try netflix for free for the month. Does anyone else do this and, if you do, do you cancel your other cable movie channels?
Mainly supplies and fat quarters and unwashed fabric:
And that is the hole I sew in! Not pretty, but I manage. And I did sweep the floor for the photos.
The mermaid outfit turned out great!
So ladies, I am hopping onto your thread. I havent posted on it before and wanted to share something I made for my youngest DD. She is 4 and loves Handy Manny and is soooo excited to meet him in September at H&V.
We had a Handy Manny b-day party when she was three, the cake lady was a tad confused when I gave her a girls name to write on the cake.
Anyway, there are ZERO girly outfits out there for girl Manny fans, so I had to take matters into my own hands and get creative.
I chopped off a pair of jeans and turned them into ruffly capris in primary Manny colors and then using my Cricut, MTC software, paint and freezer paper I made her t-shirt. That was tedious but worth the effort.
She will be the first to tell you that the nose is a little off, but that reminded her of Flynn Rider's nose problems in Tangled, so it worked out okay
Thanks so letting me share.
I am very happy to introduce my seventh and final princess, Jasmine.

Prayers being said.
goodness you all have been very busy! I took a couple of days away from the computer and missed almost 20 pages!
just a couple of things I have been working on over the weekend:
for January's give:
and for DGD3 (these are my absolutely favorite so far!)
thanks for looking!
D~ (Dorine) was looking for the fabric for a BG -- I know she only needs a small amount so you may want to PM her.
I didn't mean to usurp ellenbenny's directions, my hope is that seeing it two different ways will help.
Wow have you guys been busy....Are we trying to hit the 250 mark by the weekends end? I havent been on for a couple of days and I cant keep up with all the postings!
Love the Disney clothing, Hanny Manny, cute chick and everything that has been posted
Sewing room AMAZING...would love to have a dedicated space...even part of a space instead of our dining room which is in our living room
Jasmine doll outfit...insanely cute!!
This is all I have accomplished this week First time ever making pleats.
I had such a good day at Walmart and their fabric department that Chase had to call us and make sure it was us making the purchase! I thought it was a bit odd because I tend to charge that much but guess it has been a while since it was *that* much. Stupid walmarts without fabric departments! And YIKES to the price!!! $5.47 for just regular fabric!!!!
But I am happy they seem to have restocked. It was not fun tryin to find what I needed in their squished little area but all was well. And thanks to the electronics guy doing a GREAT job cutting my fabric!
Love the princess AG doll outfits! I did a mini simply sweet to match a big kid one with an applique and all. It took just as long! The only different was that I used less fabric! I decided it was my first and LAST one!
LOVE the jesse outfit!
Do you care if I copy and paste this over to the Big Give board so it is in the pillow case thread over there (if that's OK with Teresa)?
I hope that everything is ok.I have been away for a few days since I had a rough week.

I had planned on making something that takes the embroidery machine...but since Bubba is going to the 'doctor' today for about 3 weeks, I have to come up with alternative plans. I am getting the Notebook slipcover from YCNT and doing something with this.
(I know...I know...I could probably figure this out without the pattern, but it is only $6.00 and I figure it would save me the time of trying to figure out the measurements...of course her directions are not a sgood as Carla C's...but not too hard to figure out!~)

HELLO LADIES!!! I am SO excited...I catucally sewed a skirt had to redo the hem just once. WHAT A DIFFERENCE WITH A SERGER!!!!!!

Hi! I live in Ontario, Canada, and I've been lurking for a LONG time!
I love looking at all the creations! You are all so talented, and I get lots of inspiration.
I am a beginner/novice sewer, but have learned a lot from YCMT patterns! I am a SAHM with 2 girls and 1 boy.
Will add more in next post, so I can get to add photos!

We went for our first trip with Grandparents in 2006, then returned in 2007 and again in 2009 for free dining each time! It's all about the food! As a Mom with 3 young(ish) kids, I love being able to eat at a sit-down restaurant and order what I want to eat!
Yes, we will still be in Florida. We have a timeshare that is close to Animal Kingdom. Maybe we could meet up at DTD one of your days? I'll PM yah.
Someday mabye I'll have a sewing room! Brian keeps saying that he would like to eat at the dining room table again, you'd think he'd take the hint and build me a sewing room!
Do you have any in particular that you like? I made my Mom an ITH eyeglass case the other day, but I forgot to take a picture!
I'm hoping my favorite digitizer (heathersue, my little sister) will make some more ITH designs soon. I even offered to write up the directions for them if she does!
YAY!!!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!!
I like the hidden Mickeys!!!
I hope we get a chance to meet up!
I had assumed Drizella was older, but I'm not sure why! I'm glad you checked!
This is ADORABLE!!!! I love that vintagey fabric and your daughter is adorable!
Very cute!
I love these!!! I really love the Insa.
