Thank you for all the compliments on The Cat in the Hat. I had so much fun making it! I making girl stuff!

Okay! Spring break is here and I have semi-organized my stash. It is really small compared to a lot of people, but I don't do lots of sewing!

The basket holds 1/2 yard and FQs--and a set of 4x4's I am going to make Giuliana a dress out of (as soon as I finish big gives.)

I also got a Brother 432 Lock serger! It came with a regular foot, a ruffling foot and another one that I can't remember . It also has an instruction CD which I need to watch ad infinitum so I can figure out how to use it!

Whoo hoo! Love your organized stash and the new machine! Rest up during Spring Break! I am sure it is a much needed break to recharge.

Jessica...you need to have a girl! Or adopt one! You are way too good at ruffles and twirly skirts!!!

Thanks! Ruffles are alot of fun! I kind of like making girl things and probably need to start making more!

Cathy made minnie dot pants for the DisMeet. They looked super cute on her!

I LOVED Cathy's pants! They were so cute on and I am suer next time I go I'll be sporting something similar!

Jennia - I lost your quote but I think you'll be on with the sewing machine. Bye bye to hand sewing.

Wendy - I LOVE that new fabric you got too. I assume it came from Joann's and want to look for some my trip there!

RUFFLES ARE FUN Did you hit your head this weekend? Ruffles are evil...evil...evil.

Do you guys ever make anything for yourself? I was thinking about maybe matching pants with the red w/white dots? I am kinda "pooh" sized so I don't wear much outside plain colors. any pics would be cool too!

I am just catching up after dinner and everyone beat me to it! Here's what I did to make them. I have a pair of capris and I folded them so I could find the rise. I folded the red dot material. I layed the real pants over the fabric and added a seam allowance as I cut. For the length I took into account the cuff. Then I finished them as I would using Carla's Easy Fit Pants pattern. Then I tried to make a top....big mistake...I looked like a little kid in a costume. OK so you win some and lose some!

You cracky me up!

Oh come on....with a ruffler they are easy....time consuming perhaps...but easy.


I finished my "very much cased cause I haven't an original idea in my head" outfit for one of our two MK days. Its a patchwork twirl in.....wait for it....wait for it.....red dot, black dot, white and yellow dot. And no less orginal..a white tee with a minnie head and ribbon. Ok so its not original but only we know that on the Dis...everyone seeing it will think I am a genius!


ETA: I have no pics of it cause my DH is in Florida with the camera...so...you'll just have to wait!

Ugh! NO pictures! Cathy you are now banned from the thread without showing us pictures immediately!

Ruffles are fun but I don't think my ruffler is my friend. I'll let you know some day when i am brave enough to try it! Dental floss is my friend! Never breaks!

What fun at Goofy's kitchen! I am glad Drew was okay! I can't believe you made Ryan's entire K class the hats. I thought of you with all the talk of Dr Suess!!

Thanks Jessica. Drew has been having about 20 seizures a day for quite a while now. It's almost a routine. He does have more when we travel but it's become so much a part of our daily routine that I forget it scares others that aren't used to them.

Making the hats was VERY time consuming. It was oh so worth it though. The class was even featured in the school newsletter wearing their hats. You can see a pic of them on their school webpage

[jessica52877]

What a wonderful picture! Not only did you make the hats I see youp put every kids name on them too! Dallas' class really didn't celebrate Dr Suess day beyond coloring a paper and I am sure they read a book. I think I'll make one just to have around!

 

[LuvGoing2Disney7]

that is a funny sign!

Yay that you got to eat at Goofy's kitchen! I'm SO GLAD Pluto liked Drew's shirt! Sorry he had such an untimely seizure though!

The felt hats sound cute! Luke's class made paper ones.

It was like the window was talking to me LOL I was so bummed I hadn't thought to bring Madilynn's dress and just love your IASW skirt. I needed that reminder.

I wish I could have recorded Pluto. It was the best

Ok can everyone let me in on how to get do the ruffling? I was thinking about buying a ruffler foot for my brother sewing machine, is it easier to use the foot or do it by hand? And how do you do it by hand? I want to make a twirl skirt for my girls for our trip but the only thing I can do is make an Aline skirt or dress ugh!

 

[LuvGoing2Disney7]

Oh My word! She paraded through MK with Luthie AND Samantha! She would not let hold either one LOL.

How ADORABLE is she!!! Hope she had a very Happy Birthday

Anyone seen Mytwotinks lately?? I miss her and was wondering how those 2 cute girls are doing??? [

The first thing I sewed was a crib set for Dallas and I wanted ruffles on it. At the time I didn't know if it was a boy or girl but it turned out awesome. Hmm, I should scan some pictures shouldn't I.

Okay, back to the subject. Anyways it taught me the dental floss method and I LOVED it! All I do is make my ruffle, take a pin and wrap dental floss around the end a few times and pin into skirt so I can zigzag over it. Zig zag over it but don't catch the floss. Go all the way around. If you kind of hold it while you go it will start to ruffle but you can do that at the end. Once you are all the way around just pull the floss and it ruffles it.

I finally learned (yesterday) to tie a loop to loop the pin through and then I don't have to worry about it accidentally unraveling which has happened once or twice at the WORST times!

I think she is at disney still or just getting back. Karen are you on facebook? If so you aren't my friend.

His birthday is 2 days after christmas so this was the perfect opportunity to give him everything he would need for summer.

Oh! His first easter he got Little Tikes trucks. One was a dump truck and I used that as the basket!

Our wedding anniversary is 2 days after Christmas

I also did the Little Tikes trucks as baskets for my boys for their first 2 easters. Ryan is 6 and I bet he would love a Tonka even now

Sorry the pictures are so gigantic. I'm still trying to figure out photobucket. I don't have the patience for some things. This is my Prince Charming outfit for a BigGive. I know some of you were interested in the PC style, so I wanted to share. I thought I'd send along a tshirt to go with it.

I don't know why I had all sorts of problems with it. I think it was just a time crunch and everything I could do wrong, I did. I will probably do another one of these, I think I'd like to do some sort of medallion on the left front, like a war medal or something. So it won't be so plain. I did blue rather then white becuase of the tshirt print. I also stayed away from the ropes, more becuase I wouldn't want to see a little one get caught on anything.

Does this work?

This is so interesting because this was debated about on a thread a few weeks ago. I have always paid tax and shipping on the photopass CD's but others said they didn't. It adds about $14 to the cost always. I preorder too! My last one totaled $114.

On a photopass note I have found that there seem to be alot less photographers out and about. At Christmas I wanted one of all 3 of us by the castle and we waited then the photographer just walked away. Lin said hey, can we get ours done real quick and he said his camera broke. I wish he would have acknowledged that to begin or just offered to take one with our camera. I never got a picture of all 3 of us with our shirts on and I worked on them for HOURS!

This past trip I only had 6-7 pictures on the CD because we don't do characters. We would have had a few more had we hit AK but that was the only park we ended up not going into. I still enjoy the shares though but used to like to keep it to 4 people (because the pictures used to add up quick) now I would think I would want many more if I am only going to average 6-7 pictures.

I still had the emails from my last 3 CD's (I really need to clean those up but I just stick them into a Disney folder and forget about them....) and I've always paid $99.95 and then nothing when ordering the actual CD.

How Fun!! If you do a Thing shirt, you'll have to let me know what font you find etc. Since we don't know what the baby is going to be, instead of taking 2 outfits to the hospital like I did w/ Little and doing "I'm the big brother/sister" shirts, I think Mac would HATE that now I thought I'd make them Things 1 and 2 shirts and do a thing 3 onsie for the niblet. Is that Dorky? It's really kind of a joke b/c when Lily was still in my belly, my nephew (who was 3) said we could name it The Cat in the Hat. When she was born I think Evan was the 2nd person to hold her after Mac. A nurse walked into the room and he looked up from the baby and said "HI!! I'm Evan and THIS is the Cat in the Hat." EVERYONE was crackying up It took at least 3 months for him to call her Baby Lily. So I thought Thing shirts would be cute....am I a dork? Wait, don't answer that question it was rhetorical.

...t.

That sounds really cute! My 3 (ages 9,8,&6) would probably think it was hysterical now.

I got this fabric for the girls for summer outfits - im not sure should i do flowers on the top and the solid with ovals on the bottoms? suggestions on the pattern to use?????

Love that fabric!

oh so worth it though. The class was even featured in the school newsletter wearing their hats. You can see a pic of them on their school webpage
