[ellenbenny]

I finally finished the 2nd autograph quilt top--I've been too scared to quilt on the first one, but plan to get some done this week!

I LOVE this!

I posted my older DD felix I made for Christmas but nerve got around to the little one, so here she is at the Great Wolf Lodge. What a fun place!

Here they both are when we when to see the Charlie Brown ICE display at the Gaylord Texan. I love the butt ruffles

I am glad I finally got the never to try the feliz! It was not too bad but I have to get the bodice to fit better when I make one for our fall trip. I got the Vida pattern in the mail yesterday and I can't with to try it!

I love this picture, it really shows off the butt ruffles, and your kids are so cute together!

Great job. I love all the fabrics.

Whew - Taylor's big give is up and running again!!!

Come one over!!!!!!!!

Not directly sewing related but it can be if you use pictures of things you sewed!
Just found an awesome coupon code for Free 8.5x11 hardcover photobooks from Snapfish. They are usually $24.99 and with the coupon all you pay is the $6.99 shipping. I just made a super cute album from our Sept. trip photos. It was cheaper to make the photo book then printing the pics and buying an album. The album is 20 pages long and you can put multiple pics and text on each page. If you want to see how them come out here is a link to the book I just made:

Use promo code YAYFREEBOOK at checkout.

Awesome! Do you know when the promo ends? And if it's for US customers only? (I hate that!) FYI for anyone else, there's a current promo for a free Disney calendar if you enter a sweepstakes on Snapfish's site. Just pay shipping like in the one woodkins posted.

I love the butt ruffles, too! The dresses are SO pretty! I'm hoping to take a trip to Great Wolf Lodge for Tessa's birthday in March. We told her we could do that instead of having a party this year!

The bag is very pretty! I love the interchangable flower- what a great idea!

It was so much fun! Hopefully it will be a Christmas tradition now. We go on a weekday since we homeschool so it was empty and cheaper. And we live only 15 mins away. We are thinking about doing our oldest's birthday there. My husband is going to take him, his brother and two friends. He doesn't need anything so I though that would be more fun than more toys!

That is so awesome! What fabric is the purple swirls? That is awesome!

I posted my older DD felix I made for Christmas but nerve got around to the little one, so here she is at the Great Wolf Lodge. What a fun place!

Beautiful!

Heeheehee! I'm a sucker for potty humor.

Glad it was amusing for you and Teresa


Today was seriously not the day to sew. When I finally got all my machine back together I could not figure out why it was not feeding. Well I took it apart and put it back together again and before I threw it out the window DH came in and noticed I had the feeder switch off. So got that turned on and managed to get through Pooh and half way through Tigger. Course I broke 2 needles which I have not done in I do not know when. After the second one broke I decided Tigger was not getting done tonight. I am thinking there is a glass of wine with my name on it once I get the kiddos to bed!

 

[Twinkler]

This has probably been answered, but I didn't see the answer anywhere... What pattern is good for a bodice like this? I have to make one for our February trip and not sure which direction to go.

Anyone have tips on the sheer sleeves? Just the thought of that fabric scares me!

I used McCalls 5731. Then I put the ribbon on top before I put the bodice together.

 

[DisneyKings]

I really love this, Debbie! It makes me happy to look at it!

It's a nice showcase of your designs! Only 1 applique is from someone else & the embroidery designs are the built-in ones from my machine.

 

[mom2prettyprincess]

I haven't, but remember, water can come in the seam. So do a fold over seam, or french seam. That would help.

Thanks, I was planning on doing the french seams

 

[2girlsmommy]

Can I just say: JEALOUS!!!
My husband is always accusing me of ignoring him and the kids while looking @ Disney and Sewing stuff...however it is fine for him to be totally consumed in a football game that doen't even include a team he roots for!! One day I will have one of those and a cute cover! ...jealous...jealous...jealous...

Showing off a bit...this is what I made today...not clothes for me or the kids, clothes for my new toy! Now I can read Disboards in the living room while DH is watching a football game I don't care about, and he won't call me antisocial for hiding out on the computer.

The outside...

And the surprise inside, my new toy!!!

I originally found it when looking for an iPad case on , but decided if it existed as a handmade item, there must be a pattern out there someplace. YCMT had it, of course! I might still purchase something a little more heavy duty, this one doesn't seem to offer as much protection as I had hoped. I borrowed an iPad last weekend from a friend to see if I liked it before buying, and the leather cover she had seemed more durable.

 

[1308Miles]

okay here is what I did today

This is the onsie that gave me fits. DH and DD say it is fine.

and my cousin asked me to make a birthday boy shirt for my godson's first birthday.

Tomorrow I want to finish the dump truck shirt and I will be done and can mail it out.

How totally adorable! I love them.

I finally finished the 2nd autograph quilt top--I've been too scared to quilt on the first one, but plan to get some done this week!

That is amazing! I love quilting. I would love to make one of those too...maybe if I digitize all of the autographs we get in February...

I posted my older DD felix I made for Christmas but nerve got around to the little one, so here she is at the Great Wolf Lodge. What a fun place!

Here they both are when we when to see the Charlie Brown ICE display at the Gaylord Texan. I love the butt ruffles

This is a purse I made for my bunco party. The flower is interchangable and I think I made five different color flowers.

I am glad I finally got the never to try the feliz! It was not too bad but I have to get the bodice to fit better when I make one for our fall trip. I got the Vida pattern in the mail yesterday and I can't with to try it!

Wow! Love those Felizes (is that a word?)...and that purse is TDF!

Hi Everyone!!!

NEW BIG GIVE COMING TONIGHT!!!!!​

Many of you have already been following this family, and a few have even asked if they are going to be a Big Give Family - well the time has come!!! We have to get Taylor and Samantha ready to go on their trip to Disney World!!!!!

Taylor is a sweet 9 year old who has a rare disease. She is currently still taking treatments for it and they take a lot out of her poor little body, although she is a trooper. Mom says the treatments are chemo, but she doesn't have cancer. Sweet sister Samantha is a little cutie too, and needs some extra special TLC!!! Sometimes people don't realize all that the siblings go through - but we can certainly take care of them too!!!!!

Okay - these girls LOVE BAGS!!!! How many bags different types of bags can we think of to send them - oh and they FLIP if something has their name on it!!!! Lets see - Where is are TUTU bag maker? Messenger bags, toiletry bags, eye spy bags, drawstring backpacks......this will be FUN!!!!!!! Any other bags we can think of would be awesome - lol!!

This family is big into the Fab 5 plus some princesses! They are going for a special meal at Chef Mickeys to meet them all!!!

Taylor, Samantha, Mom and Dad!

Now a huge part of Taylor's wish was that she get to go to Disney with her Grandmom and Grandpop - but MAW was unable to grant that part for her. So, for her Christmas gift, her grandparents gave her this....

How COOL IS THAT!!! What a special girl Taylor is!!!!!!!! I was so touched by this!!

Go and check out this family while I get all the info together on the Big Give site http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2590945

Ok - so who is going to be first this time!!! Lisa was SO QUICK at finding Khelsey's I'll be waiting!!!! lol!!!!

I'm heading over after this to see what I can contribute...I am so excited!

I love these too... I am such a sucker for the Minnie dot and yellow ric-rac (but I've never actually made anything with the combo yet)... So, how'd that Simply Sweet go?

Those all came out great, I love 'em!

Looks great, can't wait to see the Simply Sweet!

Thanks...I just finished my first Simply Sweet and I'm thrilled with the results! It was so much easier than I thought.

It was so frustrating because I ran out of fabric at 9-ish last night and had to obsess over it until 10 this morning. I was so afraid that they would run out of the Minnie dot fabric (which is very likely...the lady said it has happened many times) but luckily it was in stock! I ran home and finished it. Yay! I was so thrilled with the outcome that I went back and bought additional fabric so I could do a longer version (knee-length) for our AK day. YAY!

 

[PurpleEars]

short story- was size easy fits pattern should i make if the mom says the boy is a 4t?

long story- my cousins child was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma cancer when he was 2 almost 3. so he spent from age 3 to 4 doing 40 something chemo treatments. they live in MS but travelled back and forth to st judes in memphis constantly. good news, even though the mortality rate for this cancer is absurd, like 70%, my cousins little angel beat the cancer. so my family is sending her family to disney for some happy times, after the hell they went thru last year. we've taken care of everything for her, even gas cards for the drive. i asked her what size her child is in and she said he is a 4t. so i am making him some stuff, shorts and tees. and i was going to err on the side of too big so he can wear the stuff thru the summer at least but im stalled at what size easy fits to make. tia for any advice

I don't have any suggestions for size as many have provided their suggestions. I just want to say it is very sweet of you to make something special for your cousin's family.

I did fix my sewing machine this morning and I am quite proud of myself....lol. I noticed last night that the bobbin stitches were wonky and nothing I did was helping. I was trying to figure out exactly when I was going to get it into the shop since I'm not ready for our trip, and then I have a couple Gives due after we get back. I was bored last night at work and looked up the repair manual for my machine. When I got home I compared the manual to my machine and realized that the dohickey (stopper maybe?) by the shuttle was out of place, so I put it back and tightened it down - and it works now! I am so relieved, I had no idea what I was going to do without my machine! And not to mention that the repair bill would have been cutting into my Disney money!

Good job on fixing your machine!

My sister and her family are going to Disney next week so I did some shirts for the kids.

And just for fun I made a couple of placemats for my Mom. Any DIY Dish fans out there?

Good job on the shirts! And the placemats too!

LOVE them! I think I'm going to ask DH for an embroidery machine for my birthday for no other reason but to make cute shirts for Disney (as if that wan't a good enough reason!)

TMTQ here...Just wanted to stop by, say hello, and post a pic of my afternoon project:

So much easier than I thought! I may even attempt a Simply Sweet tonight!

I like how your afternoon project turned out! The Simply Sweet looks great (you posted the picture after I started this multiquote exercise)

Thank you to all. I FINALLY got it. I figured I'd get it eventually, but the help here is what did it. Operator lack of experience was the main problem. (I know where the icon with the guy smashing the computer is, where's the icon of the guy smashing his own head. That's the one I need.) My first Heathersue design .

I am glad that you got it to work!

Showing off a bit...this is what I made today...not clothes for me or the kids, clothes for my new toy! Now I can read Disboards in the living room while DH is watching a football game I don't care about, and he won't call me antisocial for hiding out on the computer.

Congrats on your new toy. I also want to say that you have a nice thread collection!

Both of the item turned out well. I think you are too hard on yourself.

Wow! This is AMAZING!

This is such a precious picture!

Sorry to hear about your sewing problems today . Hopefully tomorrow will be a better sewing day!

I used McCalls 5731. Then I put the ribbon on top before I put the bodice together.

Thanks! That looks perfect!!! What is really hard? I don't like commercial patterns very much, I've just been looking at Simplicity 5832 and it looks fairly easy. I was thinking of modifying the Snow White version.

 

[effervescent]

Dimbo and Monterts- that made me giggle! So cute!

I use a tack stitch that goes all the way around the edges. If you want it, I'll send it to you for free. Just e-mail me. That goes for everyone!

Hi Denise! I'm just starting to think of what to make for our trip and we leave in 6 days! So, you're already quite a few steps ahead of me!

DD cracks me up - she threw out the Dimbo randomly when we were there in December so we all call it that now. I wanted to put it on her outfit, but I figured people would just feel sorry for her since her mom couldn't spell "Dumbo."

I would love the file for your tack down stitch - I'm seriously going to lose my mind if I have to hoop any more tshirts.

And you make me feel a lot better about my Disney clothes making - I planned mine out right after our last trip, but they're still not done yet. Well, Dimbo is done and Monterts is on the hoop, but I still need to do a Toy Story shirt and jeans, 2 iron on shirts, and 5 embroidered shirts. Oh, and a birthday cake for my friend's husband. And make the signs that DS requested for the windows. Yeah, and work overtime this week. And pack. The family is picking me up when I get off work Sunday morning and we're heading out!

I finally finished the 2nd autograph quilt top--I've been too scared to quilt on the first one, but plan to get some done this week!

I LOVE it! That was along the lines of what I was thinking for the kids' quilts. I was actually just talking to my coworker about it a little while ago!

I posted my older DD felix I made for Christmas but nerve got around to the little one, so here she is at the Great Wolf Lodge. What a fun place!

So very cute! I really need to give that pattern a try while DD is still into ruffles. I'd love to go to Great Wolf Lodge someday too, I have heard that it's an awesome place.

I had one of those days last week and I just wanted to chuck the entire sewing table out the window and forget that I ever sewed! I hope that tomorrow is better for you, and enjoy the wine!

Thanks...I just finished my first Simply Sweet and I'm thrilled with the results! It was so much easier than I thought.

That is so very cute! Simply Sweet is one of my favorite patterns, it's so easy and so versatile. Can't wait to see what else you make.

Good job on fixing your machine!

Thank you - if you had any idea how mechanically-disinclined I am you would understand what a big deal it is! My husband starts hyperventilating any time I pick up any kind of tool....

[babynala]

My sister and her family are going to Disney next week so I did some shirts for the kids.

And just for fun I made a couple of placemats for my Mom. Any DIY Dish fans out there?

Great job on all the t-shirts and I love the placemat. I'll have to head over to the DIY Dish and watch the episode.

Congrats on your new toy and the case came out really nice. I'm glad you won't have to be "anti-social" anymore.

I finally finished the 2nd autograph quilt top--I've been too scared to quilt on the first one, but plan to get some done this week!

Wow! this is really great. Good luck quilting, I have an unfinished quilt that I need to finish but I don't want to!

I love that picture of all the kids. Great job on the Feliz, that is alot of ruffles. The purse is really nice and I love the idea of the interchangable flowers - what a nice touch.

Thanks...I just finished my first Simply Sweet and I'm thrilled with the results! It was so much easier than I thought.

This came out really cute. I'm glad you were able to find the fabric you needed. It is so funny but I can relate to your sewing stress keeping you up at night.
