Oh my word! Where was that child's mother?

That is totally Megan! Thank you for posting the pictures; they are all so cute!

Thank you! I think its a little too long next time I wil make it a bit shorter.

I just got that machine today at Wally World! Do you love it? It shows a "gathering" stitch on the box.. is this right? or just showing what you can do with it... with pulling it? I would be so excited. ... otherwise I want to get a ruffler foot.

I have the Brother 7700 and it gathers like a dream with the tension method!

You know you have a problem when. . .

you want to redo the boys bedroom with a Star Wars theme and can't find (affordable-meaning less than $100 each) bedding. Instead of giving up on the idea, you make duvet covers yourself! Here is the result:

I bought the sheets from potterybarn- with shipping and tax, they were almost $150 for both beds! No way would I buy the whole set from them

It's a duvet cover, so it is not smooth or flat. It is very lumpy and comfy! I just need to finish up the button holes on the top. I couldn't find my buttonhole foot during the move.

Wow Stacy, did you applique STAR WARS? That is so cool! My boys would love a Star Wars room!

I love the pictures! Especially cupcake Lily! And you have some great ones of Morgan's smile!

I LOVE that picture. It is probably my favorite from the whole trip. I thought about PMing you before posting to see if you would mind. I am glad that you liked it. I love looking back at pics of the boys that are funny or silly. I just love being brought back to the moment and laughing by just looking at a picture.

I did applique that gigantic STAR WARS logo. Right now it isn't so much of a star wars room as it is a star wars bed in their room. I hope to do some art for the wall soon. . . it's on my to do list. . .really it is. . .just really far down!

In other random news, I got tickets to Disney on Ice today! 1st row rinkside! Cooper is hoping that Stitch will touch him- not likely, but they should be great seats.

I used the same woven cotton fabric I use for other appliques.



Is that one of the heavier bottom weight fabrics? I have some stripe that looks very similar. This is the one I have:

If this is the one you need, maybe we can work a trade - the stripe for some of your dots.

That is the one!

I love the top pic fabric! Cute! Good luck finding it!
So do you have any to spare of the dot? Please pm me if you can part with some!!! I have been trying to get it for two years now!

If you would be willing to part with some of the mickey dot, please PM me!!

I will be willing to part with what I have leftover...and it is my all-time favorite disney print also....Help me make a decision A-line top or Round neck for a 2 & 4 yr old.

I had to share a story that made me so proud! Tessa is watching Spongebob and they're waiting in line for a roller coaster. She said "What? Didn't they get a fastpass?" I'm so proud of my Disney-lovin' girl!

Awwww way to go Tessa!!!!

Howdy all! I have not been around for a few months. I look but do not contribute. Mainly because I have not sewn any cloths since or trip in Sept. I need to start thinking about our trip for this coming Sept though! Everyones work is amazing and it is so inspiring! After this baby is born and I have a few weeks to get into a groove, I hope to start with cloths again. Lately I have been spending all my sewing time on purses and daiper bag.

Wow you have been busy! All your bags look amazing!!

Max is adorable! And he looks an awful lot like our baby! Who still thinks she is a lapdog even though she is huge! The kids just adore her and she is a great dog, but yes, there has been a lot of peeing and chewing...

Oh what a sweet picture...all 3 are adorable~!!!!

Here's one pant leg I got done:

Wow that looks awesome!!!! Very cool, indeed!!!

Here are the kids Disney on ice outfits:

We had a great time at the show the kids loved it!! I can post some pictures from the show, I didn't want to have a mile long post!

And here is Sophia's Dr. Suess inspired outfit:

Awww the kids look adorable in their Disney on Ice outyfits, and gotta love the Dr. Seuss one!! I am almost done with mine!!

Here's the 2nd dress I've made (I made the bows too):

It has lots of errors in it, but it's good enough & she loves it. I definitely need to have my machine serviced & ruffler foot fixed before I can do anything else. Maybe I just need a new machine! I figured I needed to do a few outfits before I insisted I needed a new machine, but I would love to have one that embroiders Disney characters!

Oh look at your little cutie...the dress is rather cute too!!!

 

[MouseTriper]

Lydia has been throwing up all day, so I have been holding her, and reading the Dis most of the day! But, I'm all caught up now! Unfortunately, Lydia is still throwing up!

Oh no, I hope she starts to feel better soon! I hate it when the little ones get sick!

Stacy....you ROCK girl!!! Look at you...way to make it happen!!! I bet the boys love them!!! Where are those two handsome boys?? We need pics of them with their new bedding!!!

And now some pics from the disboutique meet (late as always!)

Adorable Miss Lily Cupcake- with cupcake on her face!

And a pic that ends the did you/did you not have a drink with dinner debate-

Cute kiddos

.

I love all the pictures from the DisMeet...I so wanna go next time!!! Please, please can I go next time!!!

Oh my word! Where was that child's mother?

WOW! The bed is GREAT! I cannot believe you spent that on the sheets! I am cheapo mommy! $20 at most! Dallas has all sheets that were either mine or my brother's when we were little, but that includes Star Wars!

LOVE the pictures! You got some cute ones of the kiddos!

Whoo hoo! Front row is alot of fun for disney on ice. We had them for HSM (but remember I am cheapo mommy and they upgraded us once we got there). I have found that when we went to the weekday shows of disney or the circus during school hours they took all the upper level people and sent them to a table where they gave you new seats! Too bad Dallas goes to school now!

hahahaha that is pretty funny. I have been in those situations. what do ya do? but laugh when you get out.




I actually just got this at Wally World yesterday. I haven't gotten to play with it much really at all. But I have heard great things about it

Play with it!!! I wanna know how it does!!

JHAM - would you recommend that machine? on overstock its around the same price as the Brother CE 5000 - which one is better?????

Lydia Get well soon!!!!!!!!

Love the dismeet pics - its so cool to see those kids all together!!

Id go with the round neck tops - do the dots for the body and the stripes for the collar!! and I do have some of that stripe!!

If you bought the ebook after 2007, then the updates will automatically be in your library. Carla has updated the Portrait peasant, Stripwork jumper, All the Rage Raglan, Easy Fit Pants, Festive Vest, Perfectly Preppy Skirt and Bowling Shirt. They have smaller sizes, and she has reworked some of the patterns too. I know in the raglan pattern she adjusted the fit and the sleeves. Follow her blog and you'll know all of her updates.

Thank you soooo much for the info!

Mindy, that puppy is cute and all, but Sydni's hair is to die for! What a gorgeous child and I am soooo jealous of her beautiful curls.

AWWWW, you are sooo sweet! Thank you! I posted before how embarrassed I am to say that her hair had not even been brushed that day!

A few days ago I had posted about "what to do with khaki pants" And got a great idea to make "safari" theme easy-fit pants.

My question now is the pants have that "iron crease" down the front. I trying to figure out how to possibly incorporate that. Maybe? I a outfit in my head based on the pictures people have posted of Minnie in her Animal Kingdom outfit. Do I completely take the pants apart and then try to figure it out?

TIA!

Queenie, things have really started to slip around here if they aren't using your true royal name! We've got to get them with the program! Have a great anniversary weekend. Congratulations on 29 years! That is fantastic!

YOUR HIGHNESS! We're SO SORRY! She's a cricut newbie! She simply didn't understand your royal status. Please forgiveness those in your kingdom for her error!

I shall this once, in honor of the royal 29th anniversary, overlook the newbie mistake.... but let this be a warning! I shant overlook it twice!

I think I'd press a crease in the pants and top stitch it
Just my thoughts.

You must have passed the one in Oshkosh? I haven't been there since American Girl opened up!!!

Just my thoughts.

That is a great suggestion...but what I am doing is using material from a few pairs of my boyfriends khaki pants that have holes in them. I have lots of usable material and the pants already have the "iron crease" , and I am trying to figure out if I can in incorporate that, or if it is a lost cause? And should I take the pants apart to figure it out?

 

[LisaZoe]

That is the one!

I sent a PM. Let me know if you still need the fabric or have already found it elsewhere.

So, Zoe was away most of yesterday and this morning on a sleepover with my sister and BIL. You'd think I'd use the time to relax or do something self-indulgent. Nope, I sewed most of the time. It was fun, though, since I was working on something new. I'm definitely thinking a lot about warmer weather so I decided to do a surfer themed set.

I actually had the shirt mostly worked out in my mind before this weekend but got stuck on what to do for the shorts. I was initially thinking about doing jean shorts with applique and then remembered some madras plaid patchwork shorts I saw at Gap (or another store) last year and decided to make my own patchwork 'fabric'. I lucked out and found a few cool prints with a surfer/tropical on clearance at the local quilt shop and added in a couple I already had in my stash. Making the 'fabric' took a lot more time than I'd expected but in the end, I'm very pleased with the results.

I have to admit I still struggle with finding fun prints for boys but I think these work pretty well. I thought a blue and white hibiscus print (like one from Kaufman) would be cool in the mix but since I didn't have any and the store didn't have any I'll try that on another patchwork.

I decided to line the shorts completely since there are so many seams of the patchwork. I got very frustrated when I tried to remember how to stitch the layers together at the hem so when turned right side out, the lining was where it was supposed to be.

Lisa! I love that. I love the Hang 8 on the back. hehehe tooo cute! The shorts look great. I think the fabric flows very nicely.

 

[Tracie]

I think I have a great complement for you. My 15yr old (who got up to get a drink and should be asleep for school tomorrow) walked by and looked over my shoulder and said cool shorts then he came back and said let me see the shirt, but he would like just the Mickey hand on the back. So if you want to make him one he "would so wear that to WDW"

I think the outfit is great too!

Oh! Okay, I get it now.
I would open up the pant leg and cut the easy fits out to make use of the crease down the front -remember to allow for a left and right leg so the crease is on the front of each. I think that's a great way to make use of the old pants!!

 

[sarahsews]

I really want to find out who the designer or name of this fabric is...I MUST have it....Is there anyone out there who can help me

I found it!! It's Marcus Brothers, Two Young Street Bold Geometric by Prints Charming. They have some at fabricparadise dot com but you may be able to find it cheaper elsewhere. I love it too!
