WOW that's like the holy grail of Disney fabric!

I KNOW!!! It's so pretty!!

I just saw this tonight on Etsy....... just put in Cinderella fabric .... I was trying to justify buying some for our trip in October.

BTW: It is $25.50 for 1 1/2 yards! But sure is beautiful.
I could only find it in a private auction on Etsy, that was the link Heather sent me to get me daydreaming about it!!! I'll have to go relook! I keep thinking about how I could maximize the impact of the fabric!

ETA: Yep, that still the only one I am seeing!

Yes you are right...I didn't look close enough to see that was a private listing.

I am so excited!!!! I just ordered a new sewing machine! The Brother 60-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine, CS-6000i

Another note: I forgot who directed us to the thefabricobsession.com forum, but thank you...I enjoy the coop!
They are also doing a swap of fabric "green" grocery bags......Any interest in that here? I would be willing to get is started get the tutorial, and keep track of the swappers....They have had some really cute ones!

Could be either one of these......

The fabric obsession is using the gusseted one. But i have found others...Just looking for some interest.
 
Thanks to HEATHER! I have now become obsessed with finding this gorgeous fabric!!

It's Japanese, has anyone seen it?
That is gorgeous!!! I want some now too!! :confused3
I usually don't like black backgrounds, but that one is beautiful.
Do you know what company makes it??? If you could get that person selling to give you the name on the selvage we could probably get it. I'm in a japanese fabric co-op, so I will ask there. If she'd know the name of it she might be able to get it. I'll send her the pic in case she knows though.

I got some purple toile princess fabric in the other day. I think that one was my holy grail of disney fabrics. :love::banana::banana::banana:
I need to take pictures of my new fabrics I got in from :wizard: and the co-op. They are all so yummy!

I think I am on my last day of detail work painting on the castle bed. After tomorrow we should be ready to put the final poly coat! yay! :woohoo:
Then it has to sit out to air out. Not sure how long that takes. My little girl wants to know when her dragon is gonna be coming. She said she needs a dragon for her castle. :laughing:

Yup, need that!!

I also need to post a photo of the disney denim that I found on my trip to Ontario last month. I plan to make my girls some A-line denim jumpers with it but could use some advice on what else to make with it.
 
Let me start by saying if i forget you in this post and made something I am sorry! I have no doubt it is stunning you all are so talented!

My mind is elsewhere today. George has his surgery this morning so I need to be getting ready to leave for the hospital but I needed my Dis and some coffee!


I feel so bad yesterday Nik decided her tooth was loose enough so she yanked it out! well the tooth fairy was very pre occupied last night and she ALMOST forgot to come:scared1: So around 5am she fluttered around Nik's room and just tossed is $2 and hoped she would find it. At 1st she didn't but once I told her I saw her fluttering around her room go back and check she must have been afraid she was going to wake you she found the toothfairies gift. Apparently the Toothfairy forgot to take the big honken tooth that she yanked out!
Close call!
I have been lurking on this thread for months now, and i'm ready to ask a question. I have just begun to sew, and I have to say I am loving it. What are some things to sew for a 8-9 year old girl? Sure wish I sewed when she was younger, you all have such beautiful and adorable clothes! Here is another question, when you aplique, do you have some sort of pattern or do you create your own?
My DD is 9 and I still make her a lot of stuff! I have made her CArlaC's peasant top, easy fit pants, simply sweet, flouncy skirt. To name a few. They are all so versatile and if you look at a lot of the stuff out there they are those same patterns!
youcanmakethis.com also has some tween skirts which I haven't made yet because Nik is tiny and still measures for a 7 or an 8 in most of the patterns. Most of the time I just need to lengthen them for her. If you want let me know and maybe tomorrow I can post some things I have made for her so you can see. Since DH is going in for surgery in a bit I I don't have time this am....

So this is what I have been up to today.

Did you know that YCMT is debuting another sister site called You Can Quilt This?
I signed up for the newsletter and downloaded this springtime runner.

This is probably the first quilted item that I have made, start to finish. It is very far from perfect, but from a distance it looks pretty good. I think I learned alot from this one as far as what not to do on my next project.

Oh Tom that is beautiful!
I LOVE you stash and your sewing room!

I actually sewed today for my May trip with DS. All 3 applique T's are cased.

I found out what I was doing wrong with the Heat n Bond light. It helps to read AND follow the directions! I was ironing it on with the iron too hot and it wasn't sticking.

Thanks to Aimee for the Mike's eye inspiration.

Thanks to Steph & Elisa for the Spaceship Earth idea. I used the silver lame I had used on DS's Martian costume.

Thanks to Jean for the Walt & Mickey! DS LOVES this one! He was talking when he walked in the room and saw it and couldn't help but scream AWESOME when he saw it.:love:

Now I have to start on some bowling shirts and a button down blouse for me.
Those are GREAT!
Welcome Back everyone!!! :cool1: So far the only thing different is the two bars at the bottom....something about tags and another one. They weren't there before were they?




While the Dis was upgrading, I posted these on my blog but I thought I would post them here too! I have a bunch of outfits planned for our Nov trip. (cough *at least 24 *cough) These are completely cased. A huge thank you :thanks:to all you dissers :disrocks:out there for all the inspiration! :thumbsup2





These are for Buzz and Toy Story:

IMGP8015.jpg



Oh and Brook has new glasses with transition lenses! I don't know why I waited! They are the best! :banana: Have a great night everyone!
Those are all so pretty! The Minnie one is my fav!
Very cute, and I love her pose. =D




SO pretty, that's a fantastic color combination, as well!



You've definitely been busy! =)



Wow, nice job! Love the Minnie outfits.

I made an apron for myself for a letter A theme playdate we had on Friday, so here it is:

Close up of the hand stitching (and Violet's foot):

And here it is on, next time I'd make it fuller (I could have sworn I was smiling, guess not!):

Too cute!

Hi Everyone!! Missed you all!! Glad we are back!! GREAT creations made while we were down!! Love the outfits, shirts, skirts, aprons etc that were created all so cool!!! Tom your space is awesome, and your table runner is too!!

I'd be interested. I kind of like the first one but the second one looks like it would work better. Maybe it's the cool fabric on the first one??

And congrats on your new machine!!:thumbsup2:thumbsup2

These are so cute!! I make a lot of patchwork twirls for my girls and Ilove the way you added little things onto the patches! I am too impatient for that but it really adds something. Also the glitter on the Minnie bows is neat, a big :thumbsup2:thumbsup2 for you!!

A question on the ribbon on the shirts. Did you insert the ends of the ribbon on the sides or just sew it down securely on the outside?

Thanks! And cute DDs too!
 
Been busy with work and a birthday party. I try to keep up, I really do, but I always seem at least 5 pages behind.

I can't believe my baby turned 7 on Saturday. Where did all the time go :confused3:confused3:confused3?

I love everything posted recently. And I can't believe some of the fabric stashes some of you have :worship:.

:welcome:!!! Have you read my applique tutorial that's in the very first post in this thread?

Sorry, I know, it's more bunk beds & such.
But I just had to share.
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k35/cozy_curio/ccwablog/beds/th_21382_PD2.jpg

I am obsessed with beautiful kid's beds! You know what's sad? I have almost all of those pictures saved onto my computer already! I was coming here to post them! :lmao: That coach bed from posh tots has been on my "when I win the lottery wish list" for years!

I love getting to see where Tom creates his magic!! I also LOVE that table runner. I can't believe you made it so quickly!

These are all wonderful!! I love the Walt and Mickey silhouette. That is just fantastic! How cool that your DS loves what you made him!

Wow, you've been busy! I love everything you made, but the Tinkerbell outfit and the gorgeous patchwork skirts are stunning!!!

I adore the fabric you used for that apron!! Did you make DD's jumper, too?

One of the "world's best aunts" strikes again!! You are so wonderful to make these things for your nieces and nephews! I like the purple fabric quite a bit!!!

I don't know where the time went either! It seems like just yesterday you called Mom and I and told us not to bother coming to the hospital that night, but Mom and I headed right on up anyway just in time for Mom to watch Tessa being born!!! I love you Tessie! You too Heather! Thanks for giving me such a wonderful niece!!

Hey!!! You DO have a head!!! I love actually seeing your face April!!! Great pictures! It looks like you were having a great time. I'm sorry you all got so sick!
Awww....you went and made me all teary-eyed. I don't know what I was thinking, telling you guys you didn't need to come to the hospital!

I was excited to finally see April's head, too!

Thanks to HEATHER! I have now become obsessed with finding this gorgeous fabric!!

I saw it on etsy! :lmao: I just LOOOOVE it!!!


Gorgeous pictures! Have fun with your new camera!
 
Okay, I need help....I have promised DS (3) a goofy shirt & DS (7) a Jedi Mickey shirt (they got tired of me making everything for DD:))

I have my applique pieces all cut out and everything is good but I have a question...I have only done outlines of pieces before...if I want to try to fill in an area that is wider than one stitch without cutting out fabric...like say for Mickey's lightsaber...can I do that on my sewing machine or am I going to have to fill that area by hand. Did I mention I am terrified of these projects. What if I get 90% done and then do something stupid to mess it up :confused:
 
I made an outfit for my cousin's little girl this weekend. She loves frogs and snakes and everything reptile, but likes to dress girly. She picked the froggy material at Joanns when we were all in Florida last week.
Her name is Amber, thus the 'A'. And BTW, that is my first every applique. :banana: I finally got brave enough, but wanted to keep it simple.





And of course I felt bad cause I had not offered to make anything for her DB, so I made him up a bowling shirt with the leftovers.

1.)I was going to say pretty much the same thing!! I have all those saved too!
2.) I'm just glad we knew not to listen to you! :hug:

You could use a tight zig-zag stitch to "draw" the light saber without cutting out any fabric. I would suggest marking the shirt with a fabric pen and then following the line with your sewing machine.

Those are so cute! Great job on your first applique!! I love the teeny tiny bowling shirt!!
 
Hi Friends,

Well, here we are still sick! It has been almost 2 weeks of fevers and now I lost my voice. Mom is now sick from taking care of us when we came home. :sick: We have missed snowboarding for two Sunday's now and we can't stay awake all day yet. The dr says there is nothing they can do, just rest and stay hydrated.

I did make a very quick Jack head shirt for Birthday on Sat. But no sewing other than that. I can't wait to try out my ruffler, Thanks Benita!!!!! But for now, just more rest. I love the great clothing and table runners.

I will keep George and your family in our prayers today! Let us know how his surgery goes today please.
Have a great day.

PS: Yes, I have a head silly.

You did a great job, I am scared to try an applique! I love love love the little shirt! Super cute. I am thinking that the bowling shirt might be a great pattern to make something for my nephew who never gets any of my creations. I have 2 neices and 3 girls of my own so I usually only make girl clothing, but have been looking forsomething to make him, so he won't feel left out!
