So it sounds like you work a lot. I can't believe how much sewing and embroidering you are able to accomplish!Right now I have Thursdays off when I take Tori to chemo. Although I don't know how much longer I'll be able to take my job. It is getting really bad and I hate being away from Tori! I love all the help you have given me! These are great suggestions!! And P.S. I don't like spongebob either!
Ok here is my new design thanks to HeatherSue!! I LOVE IT. And yes, Jasmine is a little pale, but that is because she had to get chemo.
What is a name library? I'm clueless.By the way, does anyone know where I can get the name "ANNA" ? I tried to find it in the name library but it isn't spelled right. Any help?!
I love it!!!!! Did you follow a tut? I want to make something similar for my dd to wear to a baseball game this weekend -- with baseball appliqued t and a baseball fabric skirt. And your dd looks absolutely darling in it -- yes, I can see where lack of panties might be a problem! It makes me laugh because I took dd to a party in her swimsuit with her dress over it -- after playing in the water fountain all changed back into their clothes and I completely forgot to bring underwear for dd -- and her dress was on the short side! She did a good job of keeping things covered though.My project today...

Pretty happy with how it came out...just hope she will wear it!!
ETA:
now if i could get her to wear underwear..it would be a win win!
Never had that happen but I haven't looked at it in some time.I clicked on the applique tutorial on page one of this thread and my anti-virus kicked it out. Anyone else have that happen?

Size 10 will be too big Thank you so much for checking though and for your offer. I just hate to spend $$ on something she will only wear once. She's not big on fancy dresses but she will wear any skirt I make her and wears some dresses -- she loves twirly ones She's a strange child. She wears the weirdest shoe combos too -- she will have shoes that perfectly match an outfit and will insist on wearing something else that doesn't match at all. I did see a pattern on YCMT that would work, but by the time I bought the pattern and fabric and supplies it would cost more than finding a dress on sale. I am hoping TJ Maxx will have something. I may try a thrift store too!Andrea the dress that I have is a size 10. I'll see if I can find a picture.
LOVE THIS!Ok here is my new design thanks to HeatherSue!! I LOVE IT. And yes, Jasmine is a little pale, but that is because she had to get chemo.
That is so cute! Ditto the MM panties!! That's how I potty trained Christopher. He wanted to wear "ME Mouse" underwear!My project today...

Finally caught up with a week of posted photos and comments. LOVE all the cute outfits...super job
Someone was asking about I Spy Bags...I made these for my granddaughters for road trips. Since they can't 'read' yet...I took a photo of all the different objects in each bag and attached it to a loop. I tried to put different objects in all the bags so they could trade off and look for something different.

I made a Lady and the Tramp Set for Reed's BG. The designs are from Heather and I them -- Thank You Heather! And you received a thank you from the family on their PTR as well.

Hard to see, but the fabric I used for Reed's shorts has little paw prints on it. And I've stolen a photo from the family's ptr as well b/c the kids are sooooooo adorable! (My photos aren't the best -- the shirts are all wrinkled).

Oh dang -- the worship smilie isn't on the main page today and I'm too lazy to go look for him. Fabulous job on everything -- did you make just that one pair of shorts into the skirt or did you have to use both pairs -- I'm thinking both pairs b/c your dd is the oldest, right? I love all your appliques -- are they bows and clothes? How did they stitch out -- I have never tried hers b/c I've heard some can be a pain. I love everything!!!!!WARNING Picture overload
So I finished these shirts a few weeks ago but I don't think I ever posted these. If I did sorry for the posting again

So I decided to make this
In your dd's case long is better than short!I actually just sort of made it up as i went. i had her put on the shirt and measured how much I needed to add and then just made a ruffle and sewed it on. It actually came out a bit longer than I planned..the tee stretched a bit with the weight of the skirt attached, but it works!
She has sensory issues which make underwear or anything that goes around her waist, legs, or neck an issue. Its really hard to find undies that are loose and dont touch you but still stay up. I got her the seamless ones at hannah andersson, and some days shes fine, others shes a miserable mess.
I have a drawer FULL of undies with Ariel, Tink, Princesses, Elmo, Dora, ect ect ect she will not wear
I love everything..those monsters inc shirts
Where did you find Stitch fabric? He is a family fave and i cant find anything except stuff imported from Japan that is waaayyy above my price range

I'm not Michele, but I can tell you her fabric is from Japan -- she bought it off etsy. I think she had Chip and Dale as well and after her boys had the shorts on for awhile they started shredding at the seams. It was apparently the weave in the fabric. For Easy fit shorts you only need a half a yard, so some will splurge. You think Michelle would buy my house in RI though with all the $$$$$$ she has

First off...Amanda is making small gains every day in her recovery. She's now off the vent and feeding tube, and passed her swallow test, so she can attempt a soft diet. She's been complaining (by drawing letters in the air) that she's hungry...since Friday. Her mom said she's already lost 15 lbs, and it shows. She's got some more movement in all limbs, but will still need extensive rehab. She's now in a lower level ICU, and expects to go to rehab within a few days, but where hasn't been decided yet. It's truly a miracle that the damage wasn't more extensive, her life was saved by millimeters. The coach who was chaperoning the trip was told by EVAC that they make trips to the trampoline play place several times a week.
And my good news, which pales in comparison, is my embroidery unit is fixed!!! I went in on my lunch hour and he had the part in stock and fixed it while I waited. Total price $30.00 Priceless, as far as I was concerned! Now I can finish the rest of my Disney sewing. All I have left is 2 t-shirts that need to be done, anything after that is a bonus.
What do I want? Besides a good nights sleep? How about some new sewing needles! I don't know what my Marilyn (what I've decided to call my sewing machine) is mad about, but she has snapped one needle and bent two more. And stabbed me in the finger. Now I have no more needles and I was almost done with my project! Darn it!!! I did manage to make Tori an iron shirt. I got the iron on at Joann's this weekend. It says "Daddy did my hair." The kids thought it was so funny "because Tori has no hair!!!" LOL.
Thank you, and these are so awesome. I really like the tunics. I wonder if I'd look good in a tunic?
Our news of the night....Tori lost her OTHER front tooth! She looks so cute. That reminds me, I better go make sure the tooth fairy visits her!!
Look at this face!!
That will teach me not to log in for a few days. Everyone has been chatting. We had some tenants move out this weekend so we need to get our unit cleaned and ready, still need to make 15 more shirts and work at my "real" job all in 21 days....
I missed that you met some BG families. What BG was this? And your creations are adorable. They must have been so excited.

PurpleEars Love everything as always. I know I have seen your customs for adults before.. but needed to say I LOVE THEM all again!!! Not sure that they would like right on me, but still LOVE them!!
Thanks for continuing to inspire me. My Emroidery Machine is supposed to arrive tomorrow!! Much to my surprise!! I delayed ordering my thread because I figured I had time... but DID NOT! Oh well.. Super excited either way!
Getting overwhelmed... My ticker says we have little time to finish getting ready for our trip!! LOTs to do!! WOO HOO
Ok you sewing specialists..help me plan!!
I'm trying to map out the outfits for each day. This is just for Jon, Tori and Dom. DH doesn't want Disney outfits and I'm sure I won't have time to make anything for me.
So here's what I got (not sure what order we are doing the parks, so this is just day by day)
Day 1: Travel/GKTW. I wanted to do some kind of wish trip/travel something, but no ideas yet.
Day 2: Disney MK: Tori is going in her snow white outfit, Boys in their Princess Protection Agency shirts. Unless I make a better outfit for Tori. But it is going to be hot and I want her to be comfortable and she won't be comfortable in a princess dress I don't think, especially with her port etc.
Day 3: Disney Hollywood Studios/Animal Kingdom....no idea. Maybe Toy Story since they all like that? Isn't Toy Story at Hollywood Studios?
Day 4: Universal Studios. No idea.
Day 5: Universal Studios: No idea.
Day 6: Sea World. I have some cute appliques for this one so I think I'm ok.
Day 7: GKTW/Go home. I'm thinking maybe reusing Tori's biker Mickey outfit and the boys matching Big Bro shirts for the way home?
I also want to make a Christmas outfit for the GKTW party.
And I wanted to do pjs for when the Mayor tucks them in, but now I'm looking at this list and I've got:
18 outfits to make!!!!
Oh my gosh.
Who has some good suggestions, especially for Universal studios?!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!
These are great ideas -- do you mind if I "steal/copy" idea of a black dress with the minnie mouse polka dots for the trim?

I am so broke I had to resuse fabric
So my loving wonderful, truly thoughtful husband decided today was sharpen the kitchen knives day. "Great idea" I said, "they are getting a bit dull" I said... I was busily not paying attention to him and he tried to sharpen ALL my sewing scissors. I know not a huge deal I will take them and get them sharpened tomorrow. I was in the middle of finishing a quilt binding too. They won't even snip a piece of thread. I had to use an ancient pair of safety scissors tonight on my binding threads. I feel better now.

I knew you were joking, and the funny part is, that I thought maybe it was a state, but it didn't look like Alaska (where she was cruising to), so I gave up after that, lol.
Great job.

I know she was working on a few more. She's working on a few other things right now, so I'm not sure which ones she was able to get done.I hope Heather is making more bald princesses ~ I can see those being a big hit with so many of our BG recipients.

I had no clue Jessica sold applique designs. Is she on etsy? I knew her user name at one time but now I'm clueless. Would you be so kind as to either post it here or pm me with it. All the designs look great -- I can definitely believe some took forever as they are detailed. I don't mind time consuming as long as they turn out OK.Two Pinochio appliques are from Bows & Clothes. Jiminy Cricket stitched out fine but the one with Pinochio & Cricket took forever. I am glad I only had to do one.
The Monster's Inc are a mix of Jessica's (Sully & Mike), B&C (Boo) and Heather's. They all stitched out great!
I am so broke I had to resuse fabric
Thanks! For BGs I'm sticking with Heather since the price is right and I know her quality. B&C had some more detailed ones I liked for personal use IF I ever go back to Dis again -- I've heard mixed reviews though.Just had to say I bought from bows and.clothes and everything has stitched out very well. I LOVE her clippie designs she does multi in the hop so say 4 in a 4x4 hoop so that you get all four done with just tine goi g thru the steps. LOVE that. Something's have more jump stitches then I would like but after its done I can't think of a way that she could have done them without that many. So it's all good in the end and the final product always has looked good. Hope this helps your decidition.
