Anyone know where I can get a pattern online to make a water bottle holder??
Anyone know where I can get a pattern online to make a water bottle holder??
Just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a happy new year!
Now that Christmas is behind us I am finding myself in need of a sewing project. I am not sure what I should sew now. Maybe the 2 zip hipster for my Aunt who has a birthday coming up, she really liked mine when we were in the parks last Oct.
Thanks to everyone that answered my questions about making blanket sleepers. I took your advise and gave up the idea and went to Joanns for fleece, it was slim pickens but I found a white fleece with red and green mittens on it and I was surprised at how cute they turned out. The pattern was really easy to follow but runs a little small. The baby wears 6-9 months, I made the sleepers in 12 months and had to take the arms out and use the 2T arms because they were just to tight. Of course in all fairness the baby is a bit of a chunky monkey!
Here is my Grandson (5months) on Christmas morning in his jammies.
I am sorry I didn't think to take pics to better highlight the pajamas.
Hello all and Happy New Year! I have been MIA for most of December I think It was a crazy month with travel, parties, etc. Much as I adore Christmas, I'm glad things can settle and I can be back to my normal routine (work, WW, running, sewing, etc). Our next trip (to Beach Club Villas) is still 139 days away but I made this dress this weekend for DD and I LOVE IT!!!!
And you can see in the back of the photo I bought a shoe organizer thing this weekend and color coded all my scraps, which makes them so much easier to find than the basket I had been using.
The front (like the blue streak in DD's hair... Christmas gift):
The back:
I have the straps about an inch too long. I will adjust the buttons if need be but I'm hoping she will be able to wear it both in May and November.
And two outfits I made for a friend who bought into DVC (used us as a referral) and I wanted to give her a thank you for their trip later this month:
So excited! I got an embroidery machine for Christmas! We, gift cards to buy what I wanted and I got the Brother PE 770. I haven't fired it up yet but was wondering what you do for thread. Do you have a particular brand you like? Purchase lots from eBay? I have some sulky small spools but wasn't sure if that was the best to start with.
Anyway, I'm very excited about my new addition and can't wait to get started!

I have never bought Disney fabric from overseas. I am always concerned that they are not offically licensed (especially from China). I simply don't want to spend my hard earned money on counterfit items. I imagine the more reputable sellers will be ok?[/QUOTE
I can bet that 99% of what you are buying off Etsy from china is not licensed. They don't have the same laws there about licenses.

Try this one, I used a version of it to make my arrow bag and it worked great.
My DH is awesome !! he let me buy a display case for the Disney figures and bonus is it came with drawers that fit my patterns with plenty of room to add more. I can't wait to put it my sewing room when we move but right now it's in my kids playroom.
The whole thing -- it was a display for ski goggles.
My figurines -- they were just sitting on top of the TV
My patterns --- Each drawer holds about 75-100 patterns
And I got two drawer stacks, the 2nd one just doesn't have the glass on it.They both look like this on front.
Plus I was at Joann's this weekend and got a pic of all the New Mickey fabric they got in.
How awesome! Did you purchase the 770 locally or is being shipped to you? I usually order from Threadart.com. Their embroidery thread works great and it is very inexpensive.So excited!

Thank you! My plan is to watch some videos to get started and get familiar with everything. Then I will start with some squares or an easy pattern I can just print up and bring in. Maybe even down the road when I get better I can do hats or something for the gives instead of sewing and get those done while I'm at work
Awesome find on the display cases! I love how many patterns that they hold for you! I keep my regular paper patterns in a drawer in my sewing room. But I just organized my epatterns in a binder and I'm so happy with it. I am trying to stay away from Joanns and the new fabric. I am still trying to sew from my stash. I did break down and buy a few knit fabrics on the internet last week but the prices were just too low to pass up!The whole thing -- it was a display for ski goggles.

Can't wait to see your first project!I ordered my machine through Wal-Mart and had it shipped site to store so I could save on shipping. They had the machine at $699 at one time, but it was $597 so must have been a rollback. Either way, I'm not complaining! Didn't take quite a week to arrive at my local store and now it is patiently waiting for me while I read the instruction manual and make my decision on thread. DH was shocked that I hadn't gotten it all set up and started sewing. I still need to get some stabilizer as well, but now I need to figure out what my first project will be.
Everything is just adorable but I think I like the Ariel dress the best. The skirt seems just exactly right for a mermaid dress!
So cute! Did the kids wear the Grinch outfits for Christmas?

That sounds like a very good plan. Somebody that I know is participating in a contest to make preemie hats to donate to a hospital. She has made some of the cutest Mickey ears hats for the babies. I'm sure something like that would be perfect for a Big Give!
Back view.
And a Mermaid dress for her sister, who is a year older. Poor Alexa doesn't look too enthused in this picture. She actually ended up having the stomach flu later that day and I was so afraid her friends would end up sick on their trip. Thankfully they were fine!
And some Thanksgiving things I did for Alexa, Connor and my little granddaughter. Alexa's outfit matches the baby's. I don't know why I didn't bother to get a better pic. Busy cooking while the guys watched football, I guess! Ignore the unfinished drywall behind the couch. My living room has been a work in progress for far too long and it's a sore subject!
And here are a few more.
Grinch outfits I finished for the kids. I had meant to do these last year, lol. My photographer friend took this pic so it's much better than any of mine!
I don't think I ever shared these here. Way back from Halloween! Not the most flattering pic of Connor.
And back view of the Frankenweenie dress. Ignore my daughter's pose, she is a bit of a smart-aleck at times!
SHANNON!!! I love all of your outfits, as always. Love the Grinch Outfits, SB, Thanksgiving ...I love it all! I am so far behind on this thread so I don't know if you ever posted these outfits you so graciously made for Lisa; however, I want to make sure they are SEEN! *Shannon is one BUSY lady and still found time to make these pretty clothes for Lisa when we went to Orlando in September.
Lisa LOVES this outfit, she says they are the most comfortable pants she has ever worn and would wear it every day, summer and winter if I would let her.
This outfit is AMAZING! Shannon had a houseful of ill family and still managed to make this for Lisa and she has also enjoyed it thoroughly. Lisa sang Beauty and the Beast at two separate performances in December and wore this outift both times. We LOVE it.
This gives me a chance to Thank Shannon once again for her kindness AND show off her amazing sewing skills. If I have already shared them, forgive me, they are worthy of being seen twice though.
Diane, I hope your husband is recovering and things are improving. I need to go back and read if you have posted about him.

Good Morning ladies. I know many of you dont know me; however, some of you do. For those that dont, my family is a Make a Wish family, we took our daughters trip to Disney in October, 2011. It took me 14 months to finish our Trip Report, because life kept getting in the way; however, the story is now complete and I wanted to share the link in case any of you wanted to read about this incredible trip that has helped us endure these last 14 months.
We had so many of you who stepped forward to bless our family with the Big Give and I want you to know that there is rarely a day in my house that at least one of us isnt wearing one of your amazing creations you made us. We are a huge Disney loving family from the tall to the small and we proudly wear our outfits everywhere, not just at Disney. It brings us joy and happiness to see the love that was poured into these outfits. Some of you have actually become my IRL friends.
I have Thanked you all by letter, sent postcards and Christmas cards and Thanked you here...but I wanted to say one more time to those who blessed us...THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I know many may wonder if the Big Give matters...it did to us. I wasnt on the DIS boards to have a Big Give and was actually a bit shy to accept it, I didnt want others to think that was why I was here. I said yes because of my children and to see the joy on their face when they received the packages was priceless. Many of you were part of that journey, so I had to say one last time: THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!
I hope, if you are inclined, you will come see the handiwork of your fellow Disboutiquers. I LOVE to come here and see the beautiful creations, although lately I havent had time to (in addition to all of our own health issues, my Dad was diagnosed with Cancer in August and spent 35 days in the hospital, 32 in Intensive Care and it has fallen to me to ensure he gets where he and my Mom need to be). To those who are gracious when I do get to drool over your beautiful work, THANK YOU! It is my desire to one day own an embroidery machine and it is fun to see what you are all able to create.
As you see I can be a bit wordy, and my TR is as well. Here is the Table of Contents so you can just read the actual journey if you so desire...and it is worth reading. Lisas wish was To be FAMOUS at Disney and she was in a HUGE way! It WAS the trip of a lifetime and many of you are part of that story.
Thanks for the thread tips! I had forgotten about Marathon! I'm a quilter and use a lot of Superior brand thread products but wasn't sure if that was the direction in which I really wanted to go.
I've also been looking at Mediera thread online.

I'm looking forward to getting started, but trying not to rush into things so I don't frustrate myself by jumping in with both feet like I usually do!
Happy New Year everyone!
Hi everyone! I haven't been on this board in months because I have been so busy with work and other things. So many great creations and new faces but WTMTQ!
I did manage to get a little sewing done lately. This is a dress I made for one of Alexa's friends who went to WDW in December. She requested Sleeping Beauty.

I stopped in at Joanns today and immediately broke my New Year's resolution to continue sewing from my stash. I bought two of the new Mickey prints and I also bought a ton of the fabrics from the clearance racks. This week they have 50% off the clearance fabrics. Plus a lot of the clearance fabrics were those adorable Doodles fabrics. I bought 4 of the Doodles knits, 2 corduroys and a couple of woven fabrics.

Thank you. I tried to find that pattern. I am in heaven now.
