Where do you ladies get the really cute polka dot mary janes shoes? I know someone posted it a while back but the search is not helping much, too many posts on the DIS about shoes lol. TIA!

Pretty sad I know the answer to this and don't even have a girl.

Look under toddlers for probably the ones you are thinking of.

I'm guessing you mean the puddle jumpers. I would google puddle jumpers shoes. They have a website too.

 

[pixeegrl]

yep, that was them! Thanks so much! You are fast and that's what I needed lol. There was another site too I thought, anyone know of it?

We've decided that we're going to go to Ohana's for breakfast for my DD's birthday celebration. I would like to make her something with a red fabric that has white hibiscus flowers on it - similar to what Lilo wears. Does anyone know where I can find fabric like this? Or have a name of a fabric that I can order somewhere maybe?

I am about 2 pages behind so I dont know if you got an answer... but try gotfabric.com They are out of Hawaii. I have purchased from them and been very pleased.
Also I think Fabric fairy has some knit "aloha mouse" fabric... its red with hibiscus flowers and mickey.... might be fun

Here are the latest creations to come out of my sewing "room". I have 3 more to finish, then I need to decided what my girls will be wearing for Easter. I am having the hardest time deciding on what style of dress and what fabric to use.

Here is the one for my nephew

They are great! Love them!
Wonderful Job

I agree! I love hearing "Welcome Home!' I may have asked you this efore but where do you own?

We own at OKW.

I made the other wall hanging that is being offered from YCQT.
I think I may become a "quilter" after all!

I should have used my "walking foot" as I was finishing this! The sides got a little wonky from trying to sew through all those layers. I should have put a binding on it instead of trying to turn it right side out. Oh well, not too bad of an attempt for my second quilting project!

Wow! Awesome!
Great Job!

just got home from the doctor. Chianna is fine. just breast tissue. my baby is growing up and getting "****ies". She is so happy Im just happy it was nothing serious to worry about. thanks for your prayers.

Oh I am so glad she is okay!!!!!

DH and I went to Disneyland in mid-June 2007. Other than the newly opened nemo subs ride, everything was ok. We used a lot of fastpasses and ridemax to help us know how we should go about it all, but we rode everything we wanted more than once each day. I suggest getting there a open, go til lunch, rest at your hotel for a hile and go back. It still gets cool at night even in the summer, California is different like that

Very cool, thanks! What is "ridemax" though?

I made this last year. I thought the blue one might be similiar to what you are looking for. They had it in red also. I got it at Hancocks.

Awww look how adorable they are!!!

Pretty sad I know the answer to this and don't even have a girl.

WOW.....I've never seen the boots...how cute!!! Thanks for posting the link again!

I like www.sweetsoles.com but they usually don't have a lot of sizes in stock.

 

[roscoepc1]

Ok...help needed!

I bought this:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=200323930830

Now what do I put with it? I was thinking if I made it into stripwork twirly skirts, it would go further, but I SUCK at pairing fabrics for stuff like that!

Also can't be TOO baby-ish, as my oldest dd is 10.....and getting picky, lol.

:help:

 

[roscoepc1]

I finally finished Marenna's Big Give piglet vida and hat! I have to say I really enjoyed all the pinkness and ruffles! And I even have a model the right size! I swear the ruffles aren't as wonky as they look in the pictures. The back ruffles are supposed to remind you of Piglet's shirt

and one more, just to make sure we have too much Lilys!

Ok...I want one in MY size! That is so cute!!!!

I heard about it over on the Disneyland section of the dis, but basically it is software that helps you plan your day. You tell it what you want to ride when you want breaks (like for eating, parades or whatever) and it plans your day. Since I had never been I liked it because it gave me an idea for a plan of attack, I didn't know what order things filled up in or what I should immediately fast pass etc and it really helped us get everything in many times! Here is a link: http://www.ridemax.com/

"not intended for childrens sleepware"
Do you guys worry about this label to much when buying fabric for you kids pjs?

I have been looking for cute flannels and all the ones I really like have this label on them. I am just curious what your thoughts on this are. I think I get the reasoning behind it - fabric hasn't been treated for fire etc.
I am just not sure.... that I care. I know that sounds bad
Sorry. Just wanting to know if I am missing something.
Thanks.

The minute you wash even treated fabric, and add fabric softener, it negates the treatment anyways.

And since I have no intention of roasting my children over an open flame, I really do not worry about it!

Great outfits...they all looked great! your applique looks great, I don't think you should re-do them. Hope you feel better!

Lori

My favorite is the Mulan outfit!

Wow..what a gorgeous Piglet outfit!!!! I used the same piglet for dd's Crystal Palace top, but mine doesn't look as nice!! Yours is perfect. I better not let dd see this!!!

hi all , i have been lurking but having computer issues. just wanted to pop in and say hi. i am busy planning a baby shower for my girlfriend...her 4th boy. it is a nursery rhyme theme. i bought some of the nursery rhyme fabric walmart had. do you think the light green one is too girly to make some burp cloths and such?

my only new creation is a pair of jeans with a ruffle and a little appliqued shirt because i took mia to her first show
Pinkalicious
it is touring a couple of states i know...unfortunately i did not love it. mia thought it was great though and thats what matters. there is even a cd with the songs. i will try to upload her picture soon.

My dd loves Pinkalicious, and Purplelicious.

Small update on my cousin.

She is doing "better". Her blood pressure is not as low as it was yesterday. She seems better able to breathe. I guess they did a bunch of tests today and over the weekend so now we wait for the Dr's to review the results.

Hopefully, she will continue to do better.

Glad that your cousin is doing better! Will keep her in my prayers.

Hi all! Hope everyone is doing well today...I was away all weekend...well away from here...Katie's party was Saturday and it was great. Her BFF from home was able to come and her BFF from here was here and they all got along great. We had 13 kids at the party from 2 years old to 11! What fun! And they all played so well together! It was raining all day, so they had to stay inside, but it really was fun.

I had also won the in home celebration kit, so that was her party "theme"...we just had all Disney stuff. We got to played games and had gifts for everyone! It really was fun.

Then Sunday came...it seems that somebody at the party had a stomach virus...uh oh! It was a fast moving virus...as in I was fast moving to the bathroom all day Sunday. Then Monday morning at 2am Timmy was fast moving, then Katie at 5am! What a day it was yesterday! I had to do tons of laundry all day long! I hate the smell of puke! Poor Timmy had the worst of it...I was getting worried and almost took him to the hospital last night, but he started drinking and making urine. He is much better today.

I did skim the weekend and as usual you guys are all so talented and so supportive...I love being a part of this group! I know there are those that need prayers, and some that need them that didn't ask...I pray for you all everyday. New babies to get ready to welcome...congrats to be said...what a great place!

BTW...I will post pics of Katie's party when photobucket acts right...

Happy Belated Birthday, Katie! Can't wait to see pictures. Sorry that everyone have been sick..hope everyone is better now.

Those are really cute. Is the pattern from YCMT? I bought one but have yet to make any baskets! DH bought the kiddos easter baskets from Target..so I guess I won't be making their baskets this year.

Your quilt looks great!

just got home from the doctor. Chianna is fine. just breast tissue. my baby is growing up and getting "****ies". She is so happy Im just happy it was nothing serious to worry about. thanks for your prayers.

So glad that everything is OK!

This is the pattern from YCMT. It is the first pattern I have purchased from there and it is extremely easy to follow! i am making them for my gilrs and for my neices and nephew, but I really think that they would make a great gift for anyone if you just changed up the fabric. I think that I will be maiking these baskets for my sisters for Christmas.

 

[disneylovinfamily]

QUESTION....for those that have dress forms; where did you get them? I want to buy one and not sure where to look. I don't want to spend a ton either. Thanks!

 

[ibesue]

I lost my quotes AGAIN... So let me try to make up what I lost from yesterday.

The pink & purple sleeping beauty was too cute!

Flea: I LOVE all your knitted things. I so wish I could knit. I did try way back when and I did knit 2 poncho's for then baby DD!

The pirate sets are too cute! Both for your little girls and son!

Shannon... Yay on getting to go back! Two trips planned sounds wonderful!! I like the Hawaiian prints. My quilt store has some too, but I am sure its around 9 a yard. You got much better info from others!

Jessica: We don't always spend all of our time in the parks either. Kadie thinks going to Downtown Disney is the same as going into the parks! And she is just as happy going to the pool and hanging out as she is going on rides. She loves the tinkerbell pool! And for all going in October, its my favorite time to go!!

In fact, I am having one of those milestone birthdays this year... won't say which one it is, but I have said I want to go to Disneyland for the weekend with all my DD's and DGD's!! (well their DH's can come too) My youngest DD who can't keep a secret already told me that they are planning a big weekend, starting with MNSSHP, breakfast at the Storytellers (my fav at disney) and then a day in the parks!

The last hand sewn outfit, so cute but now you have your machine!!

OMGOSH, that piglet Vida is too cute!! I love the polka dots! And the hat is so cute! I really like matching hats now! I think she is going to LOVE that outfit!

Tina, sorry everyone didn't get along. I am worried about my birthday trip too. But having a schedule I think will help. The problem here is that I am the one who isn't an early riser! However, now that you are a DVC owner, you will have better times ahead!

The seamstress... I think someone is trying to pay less on shipping by telling you that others can send it! Ask for the name of the other person and contact them to see how they did it?

The walmart near us still has a fully packed fabric department. I checked the other day. Most of the other Walmarts in our area have no fabric departments anymore, they closed several years ago. Our store was remodeled and they kept the department!

Disneyland in summer can be crowded but I think you are pretty safe with June. The weather can be tricky, we do have June gloom, its overcast and cloudy in the morning, sunny in the afternoon and chilly in the evening. Wednesdays are the best days for us. Go early and get on the rides you want and then hang out in the afternoon by the pool! Oh, and when you go to Knotts, be sure to go to the Chicken dinner place! So yummy! Sometimes we just go down there for dinner!!

I am happy to hear that Chianna is okay! The good part of trying to catch up with everyone is you get the prayer request & the outcome at one time!

Wendy, your Taggie is too cute! And I am keeping Daniel in my prayers. The benefit was awesome!

Cindee, I am happy to hear your cousin is doing a bit better today. She is in my prayers.

Melissa, the ariel dress is just too cute!

Linnette, those dresses are fabulous!! I am so impressed that you can look at a dress and then make your own pattern and dress. I wish I had that kind of talent! I know what depression is like and I will keep you in my prayers. Some days its just hard to get out of bed.

Lori, those sets are cute. I love the Mulan one!!!

Cathy, the minnie set is too cute! I love the ribbon T's!

Michelle, such pretty dresses!

Kim, happy the flu didn't hit before the birthday party. Can't wait to see the pictures. Hopefully everyone is better at your house.

Heather, the Easter baskets are so cute! How did you make those? Do you have a pattern?

Minnie2, happy to hear George is back to work. Guys are like that! I hear you on the cutting out squares. I am STILL working on a twirl skirt for Miss Kadie with a gazillion squares. I might be finished today to take pictures of the skirt. I now do NOT like it! Too many squares. Now her mom is asking what patchwork will I be doing for Miss Molly.

Tom, I love your quilt!!

Whew, I think I am caught up!! Okay, back to the skirt with a gazillion squares! Hope to have pictures today!

QUESTION....for those that have dress forms; where did you get them? I want to buy one and not sure where to look. I don't want to spend a ton either. Thanks!

I ordered mine from displayimporter.com I do not recall who it was but I know somebody in this thread posted about it it was 35.00 and 15.00 shipping but it is a little small ---22" --20" ---23 which is a size 2/3 and you cannot make adjustments , there is a child size dritz for 125.00 I will check for the website for you

Linnette

 

[teresajoy]

I have 2 pettiskirts to make for a friend this week (they are for her mums funeral at her mums request - her mum has terminal cancer and only been given a couple of weeks )

Oh wow, that is so sad. How sweet she wants the girls to wear pettis though.

Ok I finished my other daughters dress for our Disney trip. I am not sewing again for long long time. I don't have the patience or the talent to do this stuff! But it turned out decent and she is happy with it so that's what really matters.

The dress turned out great! I hope you don't give up on the sewing!!

as I been in a state of perpetual depression, but decided that this is what keeps me goinghope you like these

Linnette

Oh, Linnette, I'm so sorry you are having problems right now. We've missed you around here!

I love these outfits Linnette!!! Especially the Belle one!! So cute!

Did some rather simple cute things this weekend... have been so busy with life lately... not much time for sewing

Lori

Really cute outfits Lori! I love them!

I know you will be impressed to hear I finished outfit #2 for Olivia's Big Give...this is for her older sister who does NOT like frilly things! She does like Minnie so I made a top and shorts for her!

I am going to ship them out this week! Won't they be surprised to get an early box! I really think this is just as (or more) fun for us as the Wish kids! Thanks for letting me participate....Teresa....and thanks for all of your work on coordinating for this family!!!!



ETA: I remembered someone asked me if I sewed the ribbon in (by opening up the side seams) and this time I did! Thanks for the tip!!!!

Wow! You are good!!! These look fabulous Cathy!!! Thanks so much for helping out!

This is only my second post in the disboutiquers board. I completed 2 more dresses for my DD3 over the weekend. Nothing spectacular but will be nice and cool for her to wear in WDW in May and August. I also went shopping for more Disney fabric this weekend and had some good finds at Hancock fabrics.

Is there any way we could get some big pictures of these? I would love to see them!

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Has anyone tried the Brother Disney Applique Station?

looks like this --

but you can buy them with a disney or pooh cartridge.

wondered if anybody owned one and could comment on it...

my sewing machine does not do embroidery so I was thinking maybe I might like one, but it's hard to tell.
Unfortunately I saw one on ebay going for like $15 yesterday and I didnt bid on it. But I dont need to waste my money if it's a junky end product, etc

I don't worry about it but that is because most of what I see in stores to buy is not flame retardant anyways.
