Thank you to everyone that responded to my post. Around 8 last night we heard that he was coming home and to give him a few days to settle in before we inundated the family with visitors. He unexpectedly died this morning. Thank you all anyway.
Erin wasn't the only early shopper this morning!
The kiddos and I trekked across town for my second DisMeet this morning! I enjoyed meeting Erin and her mom and shopping around the store together for a bit!
And, I had a big DUH! Moment when I figured out Erin's screen name. I somehow completely missed the fact that she is nanny to V. Nanny E. Duh! Mystery solved.
(I'll get caught up on all the gorgeous dresses posted recently over the weekend!)
Regards,
C.

I'm a newbie to all of this. Wow! So many of these outfits and shirts are amazing! I was wondering what kind of machines you all use for the appliqués. Do you hand guide for the stitching?

Congrats on paying off your DVC and vehicle. Hope you are having fun at your Dad's.Headed to my Dad's for school break and gonna bring my sewing with me. I have lots of stuff cut so I will just bring everything I need to make it and maybe I will get a few things done while my kids play or are sleeping. I lost the quote but I love the little outfit you made with the reversible jacket, so cute.
PLus, celebrations are in order since due to my Dh's previous employer being sold we have now paid off our DVC and vehicle in full !! One had 3 years left and one had 5. YAY !!
So sorry to hear about your loss.Thank you to everyone that responded to my post. Around 8 last night we heard that he was coming home and to give him a few days to settle in before we inundated the family with visitors. He unexpectedly died this morning. Thank you all anyway.
The mug rug is a great idea and it looks nice. Bonus that it was from your stash.I am still playing with my new toy in a limited fashion because I have about 5 embroidery thread colors, but trying things out I am.
Such as this: A French Inspired Mug Rug > not specifically Disney, but a definate idea for, say, an EPCOT inspired something.
I don't know if you can see the truely horrible stitching on the right side of the Eiffel Tower, but I was overthinking my applique at that point. I got it right on the left side, though. The back makes up for it though, I love the vintage fabrics and the improvised French flag.
The wording was the very first thing I did on the new machine. I am quite pleased and am looking forward to more fun!!
And all the fabric came form my stash!!
I finally finished my nieces 1st birthday dress I still have the hat to make and to find out if it fits her but still done. I made a reversible jacket for it following a youtube video and it actually came out right.
I also made her a neon pink and blue tutu with a tulle hair bow to match and a tulle dress for pictures.
I hope you have a great time at your Dad's house and that you get a lot of sewing done. Hooray for being able to pay of your DVC and your vehicle!

I use an embroidery machine for my appliques. I LOVE mine! I have a Brother Innovis 4000d. A lot of people do hand appliques on their machine. It is on my bucket list of things to learn how to do but I haven't gotten to it yet. I am hopeful that I will get some time this summer to work on learning.

Did you use a tutorial for your t-shirt throw? I am going to try to make one out of some of my dd's old t-shirts. I am hoping to work on it this summer while she is at camp and then I can give it to her as a surprise when she gets home. I can't wait to see your first hand applique.I was going to suggest a tshirt throw. I made one for my Mom for Christmas: they take 9-12 tshirts and I just used some fleece I had in my stash for the back, so I didn't need any batting.
I also like the idea of having his loved ones including things that have special meaning for them.
I did a hand applique this week and after overthinking one side, it turned out pretty well. It's not specifically Disney related, but in theory could be EPCOT related, so as soon as I've got pictures taken, I'll post it. It's another Mug Rug, BTW.
I'm so sorry.Thank you to everyone that responded to my post. Around 8 last night we heard that he was coming home and to give him a few days to settle in before we inundated the family with visitors. He unexpectedly died this morning. Thank you all anyway.
Beautiful dress and coat. She will be so adorable for her first birthday photos. I love the dress and the bloomers turned out terrific. I think it is good that you didn't add any wording. It would have been lost on that fabric. Did you follow a tutorial to make the coat? It is an adorable idea. Do you have a link? One of the best gifts that I used to get each year for my girls' birthday was a membership to the JC Penney photo club. That way I could get their pictures taken in their birthday outfits each year.
That turned out great. You must be having fun playing around with the applique and the embroidery. Love that you made the back into the French flag to go with the front.I am still playing with my new toy in a limited fashion because I have about 5 embroidery thread colors, but trying things out I am.

Did you all know that there is a PDF pattern group on FB now? It is called PDF Pattern Sales and Promotions. It has lots of information about sales. I should warn you though that if you join, you are going to end up spending money on new patterns. I think I bought three last week. I'm trying to try out some of the new patterns. Today I did an adorable pair of little shortalls. I am very pleased with how they turned out. I can't share pictures just yet though because they are for one of the FB launch groups. I am hoping to try out another new pattern later this week but I'm not sure how much sewing time I will be able to fit in this week.
I hope you have a great time at your Dad's house and that you get a lot of sewing done. Hooray for being able to pay of your DVC and your vehicle! How wonderful!

This thread got me started on sewing. My mom bought a Laura Ashley brother machine about 8 months ago. We have loved having it and I have 19 shirts for our upcoming trip (will hopefully get a pic tomorrow). Well last weekend we went to a 2 day sewing event at our local store and mom bought a 10 Needle brother embroidery machine!!!! I can't believe she got it, that things huge but very nice. They had to order it as they only had one and someone else had purchased it. I can't wait to get it and play. Luckily the ladies are great and lessons come with each machine you buy. We are keeping the other machine too, plus she has an old singer sewing machine. We are moving all out stuff to a bigger room in her house!
Glad that we could get you started on sewing. I can't wait to see your 19 shirts! And wow, a 10 needle machine. I'm green with envyThis thread got me started on sewing.

Chiara, I lost your quote. Which new pattern are you trying out for the baby? Did you buy the new Ellie Inspired romper? That was so cute! I didn't buy that one even though it was 1/2 price. I already have a couple of baby patterns and no babies to sew for.
Here is an Enabler Alert!!!
Olabelhe is having a BOGO sale on her patterns. You go to her website and purchase a pattern. For each pattern that you purchase you will get one for free. But to get the free pattern you have send her an email and tell her which one you want. There is no limit on the number of free patterns you can get. When you send the email, you have to put "Tulips" in as the subject. I have made several of her patterns and they turn out great. They are very pretty and girly.
