I love all of these. I love the stripwork. Those are some of my favorites. I love the fabric you used

Okay since D wants to see my new baby, I am going to post it here and my PTR.

I love her she is so smooth in her stitches.

And what pattern did you order for T-Shirt dresses?

For me I ordered the Modkids Penelope Plus pattern. For the kids sized t-shirt dresses I ordered the Modkids Penny and the Modkids Abigail patterns. The Penelope and the Penny patterns look super duper easy. The Abigail patterns looks a tiny bit more complicated but not much!

I love the 4th of July themed outfits. They are adorable! The stripwork skirt is terrific and I love all the patriotic designs both on the fabric and the appliques!

I continue to be amazed and inspired by all the awesome designs and talent on this board! Question- and forgive me if its been asked and answered before- where do you all get your Disney fabrics? I have a tough time finding Mickey Heads especially...
and speaking of Mickey Heads- Target had Mickey head sheet sets. I thought about buying a set just for the fabric

 

[Blyssfull]

I did this cute crayon tote:

.

This is so cute! Your applique looks great!

I have had a terrible time with the DISboards lately. Probably a week or so. Even before the change over. Way too much to quote, but love all the things I have seen. I have been making things slowly here. Mom and I made 25 pillow cases for GKTW last weekend. I made a pair of shorts for Christophers 2nd birthday (which is next tuesday) I plan to make a bowling shirt and then Andrea agreed to help me make a t-shirt for under it. So excited. He LOVES mickey mouse! So I decided to go with that for his theme!Just like his mommy

Happy Sewing!

Super cute!

I really love the butterfly fabric. Nice touch making it reversible!

Aww, Everything is so festive!! I can't wait to see pics of your kids in them on your trip.

I get most of my Mickey/Disney fabric at Joann's. Hobby Lobby also has red fabric with black mickey heads and some plaid Mickey. I've seen a lot of people order theirs from Japan and some people do like you suggested and find panels, curtains, pillowcases and sheets at thrift stores.

 

[billwendy]

I have had a terrible time with the DIS lately too!!!!

Such CUTE CUTE CUTE outfits and totes posted!!!!!!

I have a special plea for our newest wish family...

Our curent wish family is now going to Park Fare. Mom saw/read things from Heather and Teresa here on the DIS about the stepsisters and things. Wouldnt it be cool if we could give her little newly adopted daughter :flower a stepsisters dress? then, for the boys, she'd love a shirt that says something about Prince Charming!! She is having Justin bring a big fake diamond ring to propose!!! lol....would anyone have the time to do part of this very special gift?????? Thanks for considering - ( :

 

[queenbeaz]

I did this cute crayon tote:

Next time I need to trim the fabric a little closer.

Here's the inside

I absolutely love these! I was thinking about making crayon rolls for my 4 kiddos when we drive down (4 days total in the car), but would like to have somewhere to add a little notepad or mini coloring book. Did you use a pattern for this? Do you just want to make them for me in exchange for $$?? :

So I finished another day... our 4th of July day

This was my first time doing a stripwork skirt but I love how it came out.

Words cannot express how much I this set! 4th of July stuff is my favorite! The stripwork skirt is fabulous! Good job!!!

[ban26ana]

Aww, what a beautiful baby!!!!!!

So I'm taking the plunge. I'm going to actually become a Disboutiquer in Training (DIT). I went to Joann today armed with 50% coupons and sales. I finally bought a rotary cutter and the big plastic ruler thing (I'm so not a sewer lol). I already have a really big cutting mat. I desperately needed this setup, because I can't cut straight to save my life.

I also bought some new needles, because I broke the one on my machine yesterday and I'm not sure where all my supplies are. (Moved here in January and still not unpacked.g) I cut the legs off a pair of dd's jeans that had a hole in the knees. I cut fabric to make it a skirt, but I now realize that I cut the fabric too small, so I'll need to redo it. Anyway, as I was zig-zagging the cutoff jeans to hem them, the needle broke on the side seam of the jeans. Will I be able to sew through this at all? I need to take a class to learn how to sew, but I just can't find the time.

I have a feeling I'm going to be asking a lot of questions in the next few months as I start making my designs and actually sewing customs.

You should be able to sew through the jeans, but make sure you have a jeans needle. A regular needle won't be strong enough.

I want to thank everyone so much for your help over the last week or so. From big questions to small questions, I've had so many responses. You're all so helpful! If it wasn't for you I'd still be trying to get a lining in the bowlings shirts and I'd have wire wrapped inside my buttons.

I haven't posted much other than questions because I've been waiting to contribute a bit more first. I do want to say that the clothes I see here is just amazing. You're all so talented!

So, here goes... Until now, I've only ever sewn costumes for the kids. Nothing elaborate at all and they all had fur so the sewing was very forgiving. I haven't made a costume in years though so even my basic skills are weak. I got interested in making customs for the kids and participating in the Big Give when my kids were fortunate enough to have been chosen to receive a Big Give for DD's wish trip. Everything was so cute on the kids! A few months after we returned, I made my first drive across the border trip to the US to visit Joann's and a Walmart there that sells disney fabric (there's absolutely nothing here). I bought oodles and had great ideas... and then the fabric sat. Well, we're going to Disney again in May and I kept putting off the sewing saying that I didn't really know what I was doing. The week before Easter, I took the plunge and decided to find a pattern for a pillowcase dress... I figured that would at least be straightforward. Who would have thought someone could learn so much on something so simple LOL. I learned how to do french hems, I learned how to topstitch, I learned how to use my zigzag stitch... what a learning curve! But I made my first pillowcase on Good Friday and DD loved it so I was hooked. I made another pillowcase from Tiana fabric and then decided to do some bowling shirts for the boys and a matching top for DD. I'm working on another dress for DD but the Marissa pattern by CarlaC for this one... hoping to have it done tomorrow. And I still have a stripwork twirl skirt to make. I have fabric for another bowling shirt for DS4 but I'm not sure if it'll happen. Those Bowlings shirts took almost a week on their own! Boy they're intricate! You all were so helpful though!

Anyway, here are a few pics of what I"ve finished... be gentle

This is the first dress I made for DD.

Here's the second pillowcase.

Here is the matching set

Here's a close up of DS9's shirt

And ds4's shirt

And here's DD's matching top

I'll post pics of the others once I finish!

EVERYTHING looks GREAT!!!! congrats on your first projects

 

[tmh0206]

I have been gone so long that it will take forever to catch up, but I just wanted to say I scimmed the last few pages and WOW!!! you girls have been busy busy and everything is awesome as usual!

Thanks. I know you sew alot of beautiful stripwork skirts so I had been tempted to try it.

Okay since D wants to see my new baby, I am going to post it here and my PTR.

Beautiful. Is she easier to thread too? I know you had problems with the other one before

Michelle!!! I just love these outfits! So, are you ever going to do a recap of all of them, I have a feeling I missed a bunch of days???

Thanks... I might but all my outfits are in my fan page on FB too

I had some a little when I was younger but I really just started sewing the last year and 1/2. I can't wait to see what you make.

Carla C's Simply Sweet dress as a base and just did the extra trims on the top. For the skirt, I pretty much did two skirts - the white as the "hemmed" bottom at calf length, and for the pink overskirt, I did a "cuffed" bottom at knee length. The bows took me the longest because I had never made fabric bows before - I added in an extra layer of white cotton when I sewed them together just so they had a little extra puffiness My DH is convinced that I should go into business...yeah, I wish!

I have that pattern but haven't tried it yet. You really expanded on it though! It looks amazing. I agree with your hubbie.

So I finished another day... our 4th of July day

This was my first time doing a stripwork skirt but I love how it came out.

These are fantastic! We always do red and white for Canada Day. I might just have to do a stripwork skirt for DD!

I bought my mickey head fabric at Joann's on a cross border visit to the US. I think it was at Walmart there that I found similar Minnie fabric.
