Unfortunately I called and it's a no. :-(
just search for hand designed patches. There are quite a few companies that do this.

I haven't had a chance to read much here but I should be around a bit more now that my computer is back from HP again. It was gone almost 3 weeks this last time. It seems to be working now.
My dad just helped me install a new TV (the old tube one is dying) and now it is making a popping sound every time I change the channel. So now we have to take it back and exchange it for another one.
Thanks Lois!!!I loved everything you did! Boy, you've been busy. Only a couple of days before your trip now. Have a really fun and safe time, and say hello to Mickey for us!
Awww!!! So sweet of you! <3Hey guys!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your work!!! I signed up to be a giver, although I can't sew, lol, I want to be able to give to the kids!!
I'm a 26 year old stay at home to mom to Alexandria, my little girl. She's 5 and has Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 2, so she can't walk or crawl, and were going on a Wish trip July 11-17 to Disney World!! She is sooooo excited!! You should have seen her face when we told her she was going!! She had the biggest smile imaginable!! Ever since then it's been, "Mommy, when are we going to Disney World? Can we go today??" haha!!
Anyways, I just wanted to stop by and say I hope to be a big giver one day!! A little pixie dust always lifts the spirits!!
Thanks Carrie!Everything is adorable! My favorites are the crab outfits! So cute!

So cute Michelle!WOW it seems I only get to post once a month now.
We are back from our trip and we had some extra pixie dust sprinkled on us. I had made us all matching shirts for dinner at BOG. Before dinner we did ETWB. Usually only the kids get a picture with Belle.
Well the CMs loved our shirts that they let us take a family portrait. They were so funny wanting to know where I had purchased them. When I told them I made them they told me that did them no good (As soon as I get pictures form the photopass CD I will post them).
I have done some sewing. We had a launch just before we left and here was my outfit.

Hi everyone!
I feel a little overwhelmed in here. ;-) First time posting in here.
1. Wow. You guys are amazing! I WISH I could sew like you guys!
2. I'm hoping you can help or lead me in a direction. I will be taking my Girl Scout troop to Disney in June 2015. Those of you familiar with Girl Scouts know that we'll need a "Disney Fun Patch". I can't find anything anywhere!!! Is there anyone who makes patches here? I know that is incredibly strange. IF no one does, do you have ANY ideas for me on where to get some?
I don't want just plain ones, I need a Mickey head or something in a circle patch with our troop number maybe and "Disney 2015" or something.
HELP (if you can!) ;-)

I'm back from spending a week in Virginia helping my daughter pack to move to Colorado. Had fun with the grandkids and did lots of work. Then, came home and drove the opposite direction for the weekend to watch our DDIL run her first 1/2 marathon. I've been up all night, so it was a chance to get caught up on email and the DIS.
I hate to get behind on this thread, but I probably will again since I'm going to travel out to Colorado with my DD and her family and stay a week to help unpack and with the kids. Then I'm going to spend a few days with my sister and her hubby (my DH will join me there). She lives in Dallas area. Then it's back to Virginia for my DGD's 6th birthday and for DH to help with a construction project DSIL is working on. So May is pretty well shot, but I'm hoping to get some beach towels embroidered for all the grands and I have a little outfit almost finished for my 9 month old DGD, plus several things I want to do in the next 5 days. How much I'll get done, who knows, since I have housework that got neglected while I was away as well. At least at my sister's we'll just lay out by the pool and eat out. I think I'll be ready for that!
Hope all of you who are getting new or new-to-you machines have fun playing with them and hope everyone has fun sewing this week. I love coming on here and seeing what everyone else has been doing!

Hey guys - I haven't been on here in quite some time. With the new baby, we did not make a trip to the World last summer, but we are booked and excited for this summer.
I've made both of my older girls outfits for previous trips, but this time it'll be different - we have a boy now! Yippee! He'll only be 15 months when we go down but I would love to make him coordinating outfits. Has anyone made a prince charming outfit for a little one before? Something comfy but still looks like the prince?
Open to any ideas or pics.
Thanks!!
aksunshine said:14 outfits per child! And I finally see the light!!!!!!!!!! Good thing, since we leave Thursday!
I have a few more picture, they are so terrible, though!!!! My camera is broke. I will be posting the whole story on my PTR later. For now....

(Old dog here, trying to learn a new trick. After first post froze, Plan B is typing in Microsoft Word. Lets see if I can figure out how to do this.)
Okay, this is probably more than you wanted to know, but here goes.
I don't have a pattern, I based mine off of a Disney one I had. Basically 17" wide and 18" tall.
Four tips:
1. Put a loop on it to make it easy to hang up. I don't think I'd hang it if it were really heavy, but otherwise it's convenient to have.
2. Put a ring on the side, better yet, one of each side. I had a hand sanitizer bottle hanging from my bag for our last trip -- very convenient.
(The bags I made for the Big Give had the Mickey head rings and I made little tags with their initials.)
3. Include a zippered pocket.
And, then get a see through pencil case to put in it for your little stuff. (I should add that I don't carry a purse when I'm traveling. I have a "vacation wallet" that I carry in my front pocket, and then I put other purse stuff in the pencil case -- tissues, phone, mini first aid kit, pen, etc. It makes it so easy to pull the pencil case out and see everything.) In the main bag part I put a folded up sweatshirt, poncho, umbrella, etc. Can you tell I've been to Disney a few times during cold, rainy weather!
4. After putting in the grommet I like to sew off the corner so theres less stress on the grommet.
Okay, I think your question was about how to do the strings.
Youll need two strings. To determine how long to make them, double the string over and measure roughly the length and width. (see photo)
Youll need two
One goes in and out the left side and the other goes in and out the right side.
Insert each pair through a grommet and tie.
Voila. The world's best traveling companion. I love how since it's lightweight it can be easily folded up and put away, but when pressed into service holds a fair amount of stuff.
Your turn to make one.
I know this isn't a selling forum but I'm new and was curious. I love all the little custom outfits but I am not a sewer, well thats a lie, Im not very good at it. some of the disney inspired/themed outfits are so cute that I would like to make one or have one made in my size. I'm petite. But not as small as a childs 6. would anyone be able to point me in a direction of peasant dress patterns or the ruffle dresses? Im just not even sure where to begin.
