Do you think I should put some black ric rac on the skirt where the ruffle meets the denim? I think it would tie in the black of the Minnie head . What are your thoughts?[/QUOTE]

yes. rick rack

All right, I'm done sewing everything I had planned on sewing for the trip! As I was laying out all of the outfits, I noticed that Sawyer's wardrobe is pretty pitiful. Most everything has been worn many times. He only has one new outfit. But, he won't care, so I'll try not to care either. Here are some pics:

For DHS:

For MK:

I cut holes in Tessa's jeans and then put the appliques behind them. I washed the pants, so the holes are a little more frayed and look cooler than when I took this picture.

Closeup of the shirt. I combined 4 designs for this one:

I'm going to try and get some better (less blurry) pictures of just the outfits and post them in a few minutes.

Okay, I'm back. Here's a closeup of Tessa's shirt and pants:

And a closeup of Sawyer's outfit:

I love them all! I really love T's MK outfit! I might have to case those jeans! Disney, but cool for the tween! Sara Beth would love them!

Oh Crud-
I messed up big time and could use some advice-
I'm working on a little mermaid outfit for Mallory's big give (nothing like the last minute, I know) - anyway, after many obstacles I finished the skirt, and then went to start the shirt; as I spent the last hour and a half trying to find the design I just knew I had, I realized that, of course, I apparently didn't.

So...
I can use Heathersue's cutie design, which I do own- but the front of the skirt is a more realistic ariel swimming in the water, so the style wouldn't match; or a swirl mickey head in the colors from the skirt maybe; or I could (gasp) leave the shirt plain- of course, I could only find a white short sleeve t, so I'm not sure I'm loving that idea...

Alternatively, I could purchase someone elses' design, does anyone have one they recommend?

TIA

ETA- I could also do a mickey head in the same Ariel fabric as the front of the skirt...

 

[miprender]

Are you ready to be bombarded with pics!

First the tink feliz...she requested no ruffles. I made an elongated peasant top to match.

And last but not least...the bambi simply sweet...made a peasant top again! Love that easy pattern!

Everything looks awesome.

!

Thanks for the link. And I love that Lilo dress.

15" of snow at my house!!! Its so pretty!!

I am so SICK OF SNOW. Everyweek we have a major snowstorm and DH and DD have already 4 snow days to make up. They now have to go to school until June 23rd. And there is another snow storm coming next week.

I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words about my car accident. It was traumatic and has me very upset. I am really starting to consider that my fall on the snowboard has a direct correlation with the car accident and another serious event.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that a dr. can do, no tests can make the brain heal quicker. I just have to keep using the brain and get the wires to reset once again.

My car estimate came in and was $17 less than what I paid for the car. So I will wait for State Farm and see what happens when a car is totaled.

It has been a hard start to the new year but our faith in God and a desire to pick myself back up will continue. We will get through this and more trials in our life.

Poor thing. You have been through a lot lately.

I was in an accident last week. My first accident ever. I was stopped at a light and a young girl plowed right into me Luckily DS3 who was in the car was not hurt nor was I. But my truck is going in the shop today to be repaired. I hope I get it back before the next snow storm.

I am new here and I am in LOVE with all of these outfits! I wouldn't even know where to start to make custom outfits for my girls. I own a sewing machine, but that is about it. I might have to wander over to etsy. Great work ladies!

Start off with an easy pattern and work you way up from that. But thsi sight gets very addicting to see what everyone has created.

The AK dress (without silly DD running around in it!) Still waiting to add the boutique bow on Minnie's head.

A personalized shirt for DD (again - waiting to put the hot pink boutique bow on Minnie):

A matching skirt (these were actually shorts that were on sale at Target...just cut off the bottoms and made them a skirt!)

The whole outfit:

Do you think I should put some black ric rac on the skirt where the ruffle meets the denim? I think it would tie in the black of the Minnie head . What are your thoughts?

So cute and I think ric rac would look great, but it is fine either way.

All right, I'm done sewing everything I had planned on sewing for the trip! As I was laying out all of the outfits, I noticed that Sawyer's wardrobe is pretty pitiful. Most everything has been worn many times. He only has one new outfit. But, he won't care, so I'll try not to care either. Here are some pics:

Geat job!! Where did you get all those designs?

Those are all amazing!!! I so wish I could have gone down this weekend. I would love to meet so many of you in person. But I'm stuck in snow writing my stinkin' dissertation. 110 pages down!!

Tessa looks soooo grown up and beautiful!! And Sawyer too!!! (Well not beautiful - but such a cutie!

Geat job!! Where did you get all those designs?

Those are all HER designs! She is the master and all of us other digitizers try so hard to emulate her! She really is wonderful!

So as I mentioned last week I attempted to do my second attempt at Easy Fit pants for DS3

Make sure you get a new car seat for your DS. Any time a car seat is in an accident it should be replaced!! Her insurance should cover the cost of the seat. Make sure her company knows your son was in the car with you. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

[2girlsmommy]

Sooo cute! Heather, your kiddos are sooo cute! Love their eyes!
Have fun on your trip!

[jeniamt]

I am back and recovering from what I would call our attempt to do Disney like never before! We hit the parks early and stayed late. That meant being up before 7am and often not getting back to the room until 1am. My legs have never been so sore!!!

I only saw one family with customs and that was on the bus the last night. She had never even heard of the Dis Boards.

It was pretty cold and pretty crowded... invaded by the Brazilian teenage tourist groups. A CM told us that 70% of people in the parks were Brazilian. That is why we got up so early and stayed so late. Even that wasn't full proof. One morning we got to HS at 8:10 (EMH) and Toy Story Mania already had a wait of 90 minutes and the fast passes couldn't be used until after 2pm.

I will get a few photos posted soon or head to my FB page where I just uploaded a ton!

Looking forward to catching up on all the amazing stuff I am sure you guys have been working so hard on while I was gone.

i

That is precious!

So so cute!

Thank you Ellen

I just wanted to say that you ladies amaze me. I hope to learn just a fraction of what you ladies know! I just bought a new Janome machine and am completely overwhelmed with all of its gadgets and gizmos. I started out on a White with no bells or whistles but now I have so many buttons an no clue how to use them. My goal is to learn my new machine, use my new machine, and pass my White down to my little girls, as well pass down the family traditions to them. Wish me luck and any pointers you wish to share, please do!

Just wanted to wish you good luck! I know nothing about a machine with all bells and whistles.

Thanks for the help with the I heart everyone!!! you are all so helpful and kind!!

15" of snow at my house!!! Its so pretty!!

I am glad it is pretty hope you are warm girly! BTW you can totally keep your snow up there

I just love that fabric, I want it as car seat covers! Your dress is super sweet.

Thanks it is just cheap walmart fabric lol. I didn't want to spend a lot on something I did not think she would wear much.

I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words about my car accident. It was traumatic and has me very upset. I am really starting to consider that my fall on the snowboard has a direct correlation with the car accident and another serious event.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that a dr. can do, no tests can make the brain heal quicker. I just have to keep using the brain and get the wires to reset once again.

Saying more prayers for you guys.

SO cute! Your DD is precious! I wish mine would pose like that.

Do you think I should put some black ric rac on the skirt where the ruffle meets the denim? I think it would tie in the black of the Minnie head . What are your thoughts?

It is called snacks lol. She has learned how to do fashion shows and how to milk them for all they are worth.
I think black ric rac would look awesome and pull it together. The outfits are all adorable!

All right, I'm done sewing everything I had planned on sewing for the trip! As I was laying out all of the outfits, I noticed that Sawyer's wardrobe is pretty pitiful.

Woo hoo! I know you guys are going to have a blast! I LOVE the outfits you made! Very cool!

ETA- I could also do a mickey head in the same Ariel fabric as the front of the skirt...

I would do the mickey head with the ariel fabric

This design I believe was from Digital By Design.

Oh I love this!

So as I mentioned last week I attempted to do my second attempt at Easy Fit pants for DS3

The outfit is adorable and so is your little man.

Make sure you get a new car seat for your DS. Any time a car seat is in an accident it should be replaced!! Her insurance should cover the cost of the seat. Make sure her company knows your son was in the car with you. Good luck and keep us posted.

I second this. Even a fender bender carseats need to be replaced. They should give you no issues about it. If they do ask the car seat manufacture to mail you a copy of their recommendations.

 

[ms_mckenna]

Ok what I did today.... first I learned my daughter wears a 2 not a 3 and not to ever doubt that lol. The dress is huge I had just enough fabric left to make a sash though so she is wearing that. I would have remade the dress smaller if I would have had the fabric. I was sad the whole time I was cutting it how pathetic is that?

From the front

Side she was sticking her tounge back out at me.

And the back .

[jeniamt]

Here are the pathetic photos I have of the kids in some of the stuff I made. We were so covered up most of the time, I didn't do a great job taking pictures of their clothes.

not that you can even see it, but she is wearing a Minnie twirl skirt!

Thanks for looking!

Just take care of yourself!! I'd say to learn the laws on your car. Contact the Insurance Commissioner if you need to. I had my car stolen, this was some years ago, and was expecting blue book value. But found out that in Delaware, they have to give you selling value. I had to call 3 places with the car on the lot, and they gave the middle one I think. Well, the mess was that no one had my car. It was a high demand car. But they worked it out with where I bought the car and confirming that no one would have it. So it worked out. Alot of insurance companies aren't that forth coming with information.

Another time, my brand new car of 1 week, was in an accident. Becuase the car was under a year old, I could expect brand new parts to repair it. Of course the insurance adjuster prended he knew nothing about that!! I was prepared for him. lol!

This design I believe was from Digital By Design.

I love this!!

So as I mentioned last week I attempted to do my second attempt at Easy Fit pants for DS3

This came out great!! Your little one is adorable.

 

[teresajoy]

I bookmarked the tute to add to the neverending list of things I'd love to do but proabbaly never ever will. .

I know exactly what you mean!!

DH asked me last night (as I was finishing another custom shirt) "Are you almost done making all your Disney crafts?" Ummm...no! I'll NEVER be done with my Disney crafts! This thread is just getting me warmed up for more!


Definitely headed there to check that out. After conquering 2 Simply Sweets, I am a CarlaC fan! I think I'm ready to branch out from the Simply Sweet...what would be next? Tell me about the Portrait Peasant...is it as easy as the SS?

Your husband is quite the comedian!

Personally, I think the Portrait Peasant is easier than the SS! I know you will love it!!!

Thanks guys! I think I am going with the petti it is at least easier right lol. Wendy I think I am doing the Zoe skirt for her AK outfit.
Teresa I need some new pettis for this trip! I know I want to buy a white one but I think that would be to much white. She has a light pink one and a hot pink one I bought from Angel coming. I am actually kind of hopeful the hot pink matches because she is wearing it to 1900 as long as it fits her little butt! It is a 2 so I am a little scared it won't.

I think the hot pink would look adorable!!!! If it's too tight at the waist, you could always put in bigger elastic.

Are you ready to be bombarded with pics!

First the tink feliz...she requested no ruffles. I made an elongated peasant top to match.

Next up is Snow White. Also, an elongated peasant top to match. She had fun twirling!

Mickey simply sweet top with pants that I added some fabric to.

Lion King Vida...I don't know about the shirt...SHould I do the dark blue or light blue?

Patchwork twirl. This is an old dress that I repurposed. I replaced the bodice and added the hem on the bottom...210 inches of hem!:scared1:

Here is the original patchwork twirl from august 2008!

And last but not least...the bambi simply sweet...made a peasant top again! Love that easy pattern!

Is that Sara Beth? She is geting much to old!

These outfits are just gorgeous!!! I am loving the Snow White with the woodsie feel with those fabrics!!!! Really, that is just beautiful!

I love the Lion King outfit with the light blue shirt.

Finished Lilo today for EE. Tried to be simple

TOOOOOOO much cuteness!!!!!!!!! You are just sewing up a storm lately!!!

Here she is in her Christmas Dress. We found a red fabric with a huge white polka dot on it, with it have my sister make her a similar pillow case dress. But make it short so she can wear it with a pair of black capris. I will have her trim it with a black ribbon. But not put actually put Minnie on it.

kelli

Your daughter is a cutie! Since she likes the pillowcase style, would she like an a-line?

I have just started making burp cloths and a few things for myself and to give to give at baby showers. I would like some little (very small) satin type tags to sew in the corner or something so they will know I made the items for them. Where can I get these or is there a cheaper alternative to make your own?
Thanks so much

I have ordered from Misslabel and was really happy with them. I got the smallest size, they were fairly reasonably priced.

I lurk on the Disboutiquers Board, drooling over the beautiful items you all make and admiring the incredible talent. I am not gifted that way; however, I appreciate the Wonderful items you make. I saw this request and wanted to pass this information along about a possible solution to help your little friend. I don't know if they can or will help; however, it is a place to start and ask. I hope it might bring some joy to your friend.

http://kidswishnetwork.org/

Kids Wish Network
1-888-918-9004
Note: this organization provides first wishes, funeral assistance and may consider a second wish.

Kids Wish Network grants wishes to children between the ages of 3 & 18 who are living with a life threatening illness. To medically qualify for a wish, the child's doctor must sign a form indicating that the child's condition is "life threatening." No other medical criteria, prognosis or opinion regarding life expectancy is required.

Kids Wish Network has developed a funeral assistance program to assist the families of our wish kids who have passed away, up to the age of 21 years.

Although their primary mission is to grant first wishes, although Kids Wish Network will grant second wishes determined on a case by case basis.

Kids Wish Network actively seeks out children who have "slipped through the cracks" of society; that is those without parents or other advocates. Once the wish is granted, Kids Wish Network doesn't end contact with the child. In fact, they try and maintain ongoing relationships with all of their "wish kids" and their families. Kids Wish Network accepts referrals from social service and health organizations, as well as referrals from family and friends of the sick children. If the child meets the Kids Wish Network criteria, the Network speaks with the parent/guardian and an application is mailed for them to complete. When the completed application is returned to the Kids Wish Network office and the Board of Directors reviews the information, the process begins on the wish granting.

Even though Kids Wish Network grants wishes to sick children all over the United States, they have one base of operation and that is in Oldsmar, Florida. All wishes, public relations and funding come through this administrative office. This allows them to keep their overhead on administrative expenses low, with more funds going to granting the wishes of their "wish kids."

Thank you so much for posting this! I really like Kids Wish Network, they aren't as "known" as Make a Wish, but I really admire the way they run things.

I have seen people use the printable fabric -you slide it through your printer and set with an iron. They use any word program to format what they want and print it out. You could also use the iron on transfer stuff and iron that onto ribbon. I ready somewhere that someone did this and then set it with something on top but I am at a loss for what it was to set it.

There are also many, many companies that will print them for you. Here is one: http://misslabel.com/label/pages/products/care_tags_design.cfm.

I have an emb file for mine so I just embroider it on a wider ribbon.

Hope this helps you

How do you do the embroidery? Do you have a picture of one of yours?

I just wanted to say that you ladies amaze me. I hope to learn just a fraction of what you ladies know! I just bought a new Janome machine and am completely overwhelmed with all of its gadgets and gizmos. I started out on a White with no bells or whistles but now I have so many buttons an no clue how to use them. My goal is to learn my new machine, use my new machine, and pass my White down to my little girls, as well pass down the family traditions to them. Wish me luck and any pointers you wish to share, please do!

My best advice is to start out with one of Carla's patterns on YCMT. I would recommend her Portrait Peasant. It's easy and beautiful. Carla's patterns are easy to follow and turn out gorgeous!

Thanks for the help with the I heart everyone!!! you are all so helpful and kind!!

15" of snow at my house!!! Its so pretty!!

You are pretty sweet yourself Wendy!
15" of snow, pretty??? That does not compute to me!

I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words about my car accident. It was traumatic and has me very upset. I am really starting to consider that my fall on the snowboard has a direct correlation with the car accident and another serious event.

I'm sorry you are having to go through this.

The whole outfit:

Do you think I should put some black ric rac on the skirt where the ruffle meets the denim? I think it would tie in the black of the Minnie head . What are your thoughts?

This is so cute!!! I think ricrac would add a great touch.

I am so SICK OF SNOW. Everyweek we have a major snowstorm and DH and DD have already 4 snow days to make up. They now have to go to school until June 23rd. And there is another snow storm coming next week.

I was in an accident last week. My first accident ever. I was stopped at a light and a young girl plowed right into me Luckily DS3 who was in the car was not hurt nor was I. But my truck is going in the shop today to be repaired. I hope I get it back before the next snow storm.

I'm sick of winter myself! School until June 23? Uggh!

I'm so sorry about your accident! I'm glad that you and your son are ok!

So as I mentioned last week I attempted to do my second attempt at Easy Fit pants for DS3

Very cute!

I am back and recovering from what I would call our attempt to do Disney like never before! We hit the parks early and stayed late. That meant being up before 7am and often not getting back to the room until 1am. My legs have never been so sore!!!

That would be a very long day!!! Brazillian teenage tour groups? Did they say why they are all there?

I would have remade the dress smaller if I would have had the fabric. I was sad the whole time I was cutting it how pathetic is that?

Gorgeous! That is such a beautiful color on her! It really doesn't look that big. Is that a separate apron? or is that a part of the dress? It looks so pretty!

All right, I'm done sewing everything I had planned on sewing for the trip! As I was laying out all of the outfits, I noticed that Sawyer's wardrobe is pretty pitiful. Most everything has been worn many times. He only has one new outfit. But, he won't care, so I'll try not to care either. Here are some pics:

For DHS:

For MK:

I cut holes in Tessa's jeans and then put the appliqués behind them. I washed the pants, so the holes are a little more frayed and look cooler than when I took this picture.

Closeup of the shirt. I combined 4 designs for this one:

I'm going to try and get some better (less blurry) pictures of just the outfits and post them in a few minutes.

Okay, I'm back. Here's a closeup of Tessa's shirt and pants:

And a closeup of Sawyer's outfit:

I love all of it! Thanks for sharing the idea of cutting the jeans and putting the appliqué in from behind. Is that glittery thread in the fireworks shirt? Can I ask where you got that from and do you have to do anything special (needles etc) to use it?

Oh Crud-
I messed up big time and could use some advice-
I'm working on a little mermaid outfit for Mallory's big give (nothing like the last minute, I know) - anyway, after many obstacles I finished the skirt, and then went to start the shirt; as I spent the last hour and a half trying to find the design I just knew I had, I realized that, of course, I apparently didn't.

So...
I can use Heathersue's cutie design, which I do own- but the front of the skirt is a more realistic ariel swimming in the water, so the style wouldn't match; or a swirl mickey head in the colors from the skirt maybe; or I could (gasp) leave the shirt plain- of course, I could only find a white short sleeve t, so I'm not sure I'm loving that idea...

Alternatively, I could purchase someone elses' design, does anyone have one they recommend?

TIA

ETA- I could also do a mickey head in the same Ariel fabric as the front of the skirt...

I don't think I would use a cutie, I like the idea of a mickey head with the matching fabric but finding a design would be my first choice.

So as I mentioned last week I attempted to do my second attempt at Easy Fit pants for DS3

Adorable!

Ok what I did today.... first I learned my daughter wears a 2 not a 3 and not to ever doubt that lol. The dress is huge I had just enough fabric left to make a sash though so she is wearing that.

not that you can even see it, but she is wearing a Minnie twirl skirt!

Thanks for looking!

It looks like they had a good time! I'm sorry it wasn't warmer, I would be so bummed to spend all that time on outfits only to cover them up!

Thanks to the foot of snow I had a snow day today, I thought I would get some sewing done but it didn't work out that way. My oldest will be 26 on Monday and I am working on a handbag for her but she was home today also so that will have to wait for tomorrow. (I don't work on Fridays) I could have sewn my big give projects but instead I did some cleaning that has been on my list of things to do. Anyway, I made a big pot of Canadian Cheddar Cheese soup for dinner and now I'm spending time catching up on the boards. I am really going to have to focus on the sewing machine this weekend!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

So as I mentioned last week I attempted to do my second attempt at Easy Fit pants for DS3

What a cute outfit! And model! Great job on the easy fits...love that pattern!
