Adi! Your pictures are gorgeous! All of them! I think it helps that Isabel is a cutie pie!!! Total and complete cuteness!

I love all the 4th of July, Marlin's game, Thanksgiving, 1st Birthday trip and Dis Meet pictures! Next time don't wait 9 months to share with us!! Her birthday dress was so cute!!

And your group picture is GREAT!!! I only quoted the one but you had another that was really good too!!! Thank you for sharing!

eta - We need to photoshop Carol in!

C!!!! Where are you and why aren't you in our group picture???

 

[cogero]

GREAT pictures Adi -- WTMTQ!!!

Anita: Congrats on the future grandSON! What a surprise for the family. I see loads of Bowling Shirts in your future. Sorry about your SIL going to Korea. As my DH always says, that's why they're called orders.

QUESTION
Where does everyone get their baseball team fabric? I am in need of Yankees and need it soon!
ETA: Gee, I see I can get some on etsy for only $100 per yard!!!

Andrea I can check my Joann's on Friday they may have some

I have seen it in JoAnn's.

Andrea I can check my Joann's on Friday they may have some

Thanks. I didn't see any on their website. They have navy with baseballs on which I can do. I'm making a bowling shirt and I will applique the NY logo on the back and use the baseball fabric for panel accents on the front. I just thought a little accent of Yankee fabric would be cool as well, but I think it's a mute point. I'd love if you would check for me though -- you may have privy to some at your Joann's seeing as you're a NewYorker.

Thanks so much!

For the fabric - I got my Marlins fabric on EBay - for around $5 a yard (Got a whole bolt, lol). I've seen Yankee's on JoAnn's .com - but it comes and goes. They have loads of football fabric at my store, but not much baseball. I think it isn't as popular or is out of print Try Ebay.

Thanks so much Jessica. Since I post on FB I had been neglecting this thread PLUS I've been having issues keeping up with this thread I promise to try harder and posting here too

Thanks for your compliments of Isabel - We think she is too - but I know I'm biased since she came from me

I found the Rockies fabric on ebay but I definitely didn't pay $100 per yard. That is crazy! I think I did end up paying around 25.00 for 2 yards of it. And to think, it was available in Wal-Mart up until a couple of years ago!

so the machine starts to go... I am hopeful, just for a moment. Now the needle gets slower and slower (seems to be sticking) does that make sense?

I live in Gastonia and go to Mary Jo's all the time! They don't have a ton of Disney fabric though. Another place that I absolutely adore is Sew Much Fun. It is on Franklin (74) in the same plaza as Old Navy, Sports Authority and BAM. They have a lot of Moda and they sell Bernina machines. They have been super helpful every time I have gone in there. TONS of patterns too

I agree about Mary Jo's not having Disney fabric ... they do have lots of great material though ... I just love it!
I've been to SewMuchFun before!!!! It definitely lives up to its name!

Professional Shots in her Birthday outfit I made:

Your LO is ADORABLE!!!! I just can't get over the outfits!!! I wish I had a girl!!!! The clothes are so much more fun!!!!

Here's what I get when I go without a list of how much fabric I need for various projects:
4 yards of Mickey Head fabric
1 yard of shirred with non-shirred bottom black & white minnie dot fabric (I bought plain red to add a little cap sleeve to make myself a shirt)
1/4 yd of the Bambi fabric
1/4 yd Cinderella with Castle fabric
1/4 yd Snow White fabric (I'm thinking I'll make myself some princess decoupage jeans)
1/4 yd Minnie Mouse
1 yd of the Mickey Mouse on plaid fabric
1/3 yd of solid red

​

I loved the Winnie the Pooh stuff (lots of bright colored ones that weren't too girly) and so did Finn, but the boys couldn't agree if they wanted pants or shorts or what, so I decided to wait

I love your shopping style! I think your Princesses jeans is a great idea, maybe the Disney Store might have a tee to match the Princesses. I love the Black and White Polka dot shirt, that will look really cute. You bought enough of the Red Mickey Head fabric that you might be able to make a couple of camp shirts, and shir the rest of the fabric and make another shirt for yourself.



I love Mary Jo's for Home Dec Fabric. The ladies that work in that department are awesome. When I take a swatch of fabric (usually from Hancock Fabric) they know exactly who the Manufacturer is and what aisle I can find it in. We drove by "Sew Much Fun" Saturday afternoon. I wanted to stop in and take a look but, it was a long day coming home from a dance competition.

I'm not sure if you've ever shopped at Long Creek Mills. I buy my embroidery thread and supplies there. http://www.longcreekmills.com/

Take care,
Marianne

My stash of fabric gets lots of help when I do a shopping trip like that (so it loves it), but my credit card, not so much!

And those ladies at Mary Jo's - they are so fabulous!!! My mom and I made my older DS's entire nursery set (quilt and all) and they helped us so much!!!
I've actually had fabric cut by Mary Jo herself on more than one occasion! She is just so sweet!!!!

You can check MaryJos.com as well ... sometimes they have MLB cottons ...

When my mom needs Red Sox fabric to make the boys jammies she goes to Marshalls or TJMAXX and buys a pair of the mens pajama pants in an XL or larger ... she gets plenty of fabric that way might help if you can't find it elsewhere!

When I was looking for cotton yankees fabric for my crib set recently it was no where to be found (except the rediculously priced stuff on ebay.) I ended up using fleece for parts of the set, and appliqueing logos for the rest.

I know I posted pics, but just in case you missed them:

And I used this baseball fabric, but I think they also had it in navy either in store or on line:

Anita, congrats on the DGS to be!!!

Adi, adorable pictures!! Your DD looks a lot like you I think. Love the pink birthday dress and the ohana dress the most . Great group shot from the meet too. So much cuteness!!

 

[tricia]

Spent the weekend with my DD that is pregnant. She had and ultrasound on Friday and found out she is having......A BOY!!!!!In my family, we had 3 girls, my oldest sister had 2 girls, I had 2 girls, my oldest daughter has 2 girls....that's all we have ever had. Can you see why the excitement??? They are very excited. On a sad note though, Her husband just received Army orders that he will leave for Korea on May 26 (without her). He is really upset that he will miss most of the pregnancy and most likely the first 8 months of the baby's life. It will be a tough time. If you ever wonder what military life is like...it is called sacrifice!

So cool that there will be a boy in the family. Congratulations!

Professional Shots in her Birthday outfit I made:

All of your pics and outfits are great, but I really love the little birthday dress.

Mary Jo's had a bunch of MLB fabrics when I was there last week. I am almost positive I saw Yankees, Rockies and Red Sox.

Hi! I just wanted to send some encouragement your way for your daughter. I am a military wife as well. We found out I was pregnant ONE week before my husband deployed to Iraq. He was gone for almost the whole pregnancy. Luckily Marine deployments only last 7-9 months, so he was able to be home for the birth. He got home about 2 weeks before she was born. Tell your daughter to hang in there! She can do it. Her sacrifice is appreciated by those of us who know what it's like!

Enabler alert.

I was in JC Penney this week (why I never shop there I don't know) I bought DD some cute sleeveless shirts for 5.99 each that I will use to applique tops for outfits for our August trip.

I may run back and get a few more since they had an adorable top ruffle.

Also Cherokee Ultimate Short Sleeve Tees are 4.99 at Target. (I needed to pick up 2 for a give this morning)

I like that both these brands are a softer cotton.

To add to that, I bought really cute tank tops with a keyhole cut out in the back at Kmart last week for $5.98. They had lots of colors. That is where I got the black tank that I did the peace, love, Mickey top for DD10. I also bought an aqua one and a purple one for my niece. They were really nice and stretchy. I never think of JC Penneys for blank t-shirts. That's a great idea! I know a lot of people go to Old Navy but we don't have one near us.

After the Sox won the World Series in 2004 it seems they stopped selling the cotton/poly blend fabric, just the red sox fleece is all that is available.

I did the same thing as your mom did with mens pj pants, that is the only way to get Red Sox fabric. When I went home last year I got my pj bottoms at Walmart, I'll have to check TJ Maxx when we go home this summer. When I went to Walmart in Monroe last week I bought two pairs of Mickey Mouse pj bottoms in the ladies department and I plan to take them apart and use the fabric to make something for the kids.

My mom actually called the Red Sox at one point to find out where she could buy cotton/poly fabric ... they told her they stopped selling it because so many people were making a profit off of things they were making with it, and because it's licensed it's supposed to be for personal use??? I know Mary Jo's had a sign for a while stating something similar, but I can't remember the details ...

My DH laughs at me because I always buy lots of clothes when we're home... no sales tax on clothes in RI!!!!! WAY cheaper But TJ's & Marshall's are GREAT for Red Sox stuff!!!!

 

[HeatherSue]

So. . . about the arranged marriage?

HEY!! That boy is spoken for!

I love the birthday dress pictures!!! She looks so stinkin' cute! All of the outfits you posted are so pretty! Feel free to post them on my facebook fan page if you'd like! I love your meet pictures, too. Especially since there aren't a whole lot of me. I had such a great time with everyone. It makes me miss you all to see those pictures. I want to go back NOW (and that has absolutely nothing to do with the extremely crappy Spring we're having )!

CONGRATULATIONS on the new grandson!!!! That is so exciting!! I'm sorry about her husband being deployed. I can't imagine how hard that will be for them both.

 

[miprender]

Do you know if that is something they sell in stores like HL or Joann's?

I am not sure, but your best bet at finding the stabilizer for satin would probably be a sewing machine store. You could tell them what is happening and they should be able to help you.

Between the 'politics' of our county (hubby was planning on running for sheriff and changed his mind; now the current sheriff is concerned he is after his job), the low pay, and my nerves...hubby is actually thinking of retiring next year. The only reason he hasn't already is the insurance would be so expensive....and we all know I seem to really need the insurance. (Although I AM NOT planning on another surgery this year!)

I am actually researching cheaper insurance options today. Since he makes more money at his part time business, it is really starting to make total sense. Of course, I might have to go back to Disney only every other year instead of every year...


This week is the 6th anniversary of my mom's accident. Yesterday, one of her good friends at church died of late stages Alzheimer's. This has hit my DD10 especially hard. She really loved Miss Eva, and I think it hurt her more than her family when they had to put her in a nursing home 6 weeks ago. Since my DD still feels that the accident was her fault (she has lots of issues with guilt), she is now upset that she thinks she forgot to tell Miss Eva she loved her last time she saw her.

Serving for a really emotional week around here this week. And...not having an emboridery machine to play with I have no therapy of my own!
Nini

I hope your week gets better.

Anyway here are a couple of pics of my camel costume - not Disney related unless of course I tell you it is from Aladian

Kirsten

Cute camel.

These are Easter outfits I did for my kids to wear to their parties today.

We went to a Rockies game this weekend. My middle son was singing the National anthem with his college. I made Alexa this outfit to wear to the game. All of my kids were able to go to the game so it was a great time!

Love the Easter outfits. Looks like a great time at the ballgame and how cool that your son was singing.

I can't wait to see all the wonderful boy outfits you must be thinking of making

In order to help this thread move along (It just seems that things have slowed down – lets get a new thread already, LOL) and in honor of Mickey Mouse entertaining Miss Isabel right now – I uploaded stuff I made Isabel for 4th of July (last year), Her birthday trip to WDW, Thanksgiving and our Christmas trip. It is WAAAAYYY too many pictures – feel free to ignore – but I hope her *fans* enjoy, lol. I have some pictures of the stuff I , made just hanging and WAY too many action shots. Here goes. . . .

July 2010 – 4th of July outfit (I will likely recreate this outfit for this year):

TOO CUTE.... looks like she had alot of fun with all the characters.

so the machine starts to go... I am hopeful, just for a moment. Now the needle gets slower and slower (seems to be sticking) does that make sense?

Are you using the correct type of needle or maybe you need a new needle. Another problem have you cleaned out behind the bobbin casing. Sometimes thread gets caught in there and slows things down. I once had enough thread for a bird's nest

 

[cydswipe]

Machine is purring right along! I am SO excited! I was getting very nervous! My mom thinks I'm completely nuts buying something I've never touched before... let alone a brother machine! I told her I had some good tech support online via the disboardsx! Thanks for your help and support.

 

[Granna4679]

Glad to be able to share your good news and comiserate with you about the military life!
PS What's a LO?

CONGRATS! How exciting to have a boy to sew for now!
I'll be praying for your son in law, DD, and the entire family...tell him THANK YOU for me! Indeed what a sacrafice.

Anita: Congrats on the future grandSON! What a surprise for the family. I see loads of Bowling Shirts in your future. Sorry about your SIL going to Korea. As my DH always says, that's why they're called orders.

Anita, congrats on the DGS to be!!!
