I'm almost finished with DD's Easter dress too! She decided to disney bound with her Easter dress. So far it is looking pretty cute.

I just finished a Pooh easter dress for the littlest.

Just finished DD's Marie dress. She fell in love with Marie after a M&G during our first family trip in 2013. When Joan came out with Marie fabric last year, I knew I needed to make her a dress. Unfortunately between the time when I cut out the pattern and finally got around to sewing it, DD decided to grow 2 sizes.

Still, she loves it, it sorta still works even if it is shorter on her now.


Keep spreading the inspiration!

I really need to get on the board more. FB is just so much easier/convenient for me.
I don't have a Disney Trip in the works and that makes it harder too. Lately all my Disney projects are just shirt orders for people, nothing exciting.

Almost exactly 5 years ago, my daughter was blessed with a MAW trip, and we were the oh, so blessed, recipients of a Big Give! We are all very excited to be going back to WDW in May! It won't be a MAW trip, but we will still treasure the Disney magic we all have such fond memories of. So, a couple of weeks ago, my girls pulled out the treasured box of customs that were given to us by the amazing Disboutiquers...and, many of them still fit our princess, Catherine! She's still a little peanut! Some of the things that she wore still fit, and she can wear a few of the things that were made for my older daughter. I will try to get her to put a couple of things on again soon and post some pics for you all to see. Maybe you will remember that you were part of our Big Give. It truly made our trip very magical! So thank you...those memories will never go away, and many of you played a part. We're thankful for every day god blesses us with. Catherine will never be "all better", but she lives each day with a full heart.

I am glad to hear that the Big Give group gave your family such wonderful memories. I hope you will have a great trip in May!

Beautiful dress! I guess it's better late than never

I am the same way. I have hardly been on Disboard since Dec 2013!

Finished my first custom for our next trip for DS2! Also going to double as his birthday shirt. This was my first go at applique with so many rounded edges. Harder than it looks! But it was fun. I made the applique design and the shirt is an Ottbre pattern.

Cute shirt.

I started on a water bottle holder for my stroller (daycare). Sure is taking a long time to do. It will hold 4 small flip yogurt drink bottles.

I want to get started on some capes for my daycare kids when I'm done with the water bottle holder.

What a great idea! I need something for cups on my stroller before we go this time.

Can't wait to see the capes! Dress up is so much fun.

Thank you!

Great shirt!

This is not Disney related sewing but I want to share a picture of the baptism outfit I made for DS.

 

[SparkleMommy]

I'm trying to post pictures but I can't figure it out?

 

[jessica52877]

Sons are great! Enjoy every minute! In a few years your husband will have to share his Legos.

I may be the last person on Earth not on FB. I know a lot of people have migrated there, but it's just not for me. I miss the fellowship we once had here, and I got soooo much inspiration (and spent soooo much money .)

Your estimate of getting sleep when he hits 25 sounds about right. I remember thinking 25 would be a major milestone and now my older son is looking at 30 in a few months. Both boys live in Califronia, so I went to Disneyland last year. I hadn't been in 12 years so it was quite different.

Thanks for the update.

I never thought facebook would be for me either but I had to go when everyone else went. I often think of you and wondered how everything was, glad to see an update. I understand no facebook but we sure do miss you!!

To everyone else, hello!! I also miss the disboards in an odd way, while facebook is great if I want to look something up on a specific subject facebook is not the place and it is kind of like a ghost town over here on many of the boards (Southern California).

Can I post a picture without a hosting site? I used photobucket in the past but I was thinking something changed. I was just going to toss in a quick photo.

Hmm, looks like that might work but is BIG!!

Here are two finished projects so far for our up coming trip. Well, I still have to add the satin stitching to the yellow silhouettes. I'm loving having a new sewing machine for the first time ever- always had hand me downs. My mom and grandma were both professional seamstresses, so always got an old one when they upgraded. My new machine does satin stitching- YAY no more hand stitching! I am still having to seam rip a lot as I figure it out but still much faster than by hand.

I do have a question- how do I prevent puckering when doing machine satin stitch? I'm trying really hard not to pull (or push) the fabric but still getting puckering. It is not an embroidery machine, so no embroidery hoop.

Here is one of our MK days matching outfits (yes, matching- don't judge me! LOL)


Here are our matching AK shirts and the kiddos matching skirt (I'll just wear shorts)

 

[jessica52877]

Those are cute, are you using stabilizer on the back of the tees? That will keep it from pulling the fabric. I love that Minnie fabric. I was thinking I had it but I think mine is different.

No I didn't use stabilizer on the back. I used wonderunder to make the silhouettes into iron transfers. Then I decided I wanted the satin stitch as extra decoration and added security to keep them on. I figured that I didn't need stabilizer due to using the wonderunder...

 

[jessica52877]

You still need it even if you used the wonderunder. The wonderunder just made it stick to the tee, the stabilizer with keep the knit tee stable. It will make a world of difference.

Hi everyone I am new to this board but after looking through the pictures I am enlisting my mom to help me make DD and her cousin simple dresses for Disney in sept. I only have an old singer with no charger, embroidery or any fancy stuff so it will be a simple simple pattern. Can anyone suggest a pattern I can purchase from JoAnn fabric that they have done and would he a good first dress??? Thanks so very much for all the inspiration.

Everything looks great! I love the matching outfits.

Great advice!
