Watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Minnie has a solid pink top, white collar, with one white button by the collar. Hope that helps
 
I just wanted to say a quick hello! Ireland is in New York on spring break and comes back today and Lexie has been helping me move all week. We are finally moved in, not yet settled, but moved in. I have also decided to take up a huge room of the house and begin sewing again. I'm excited and can't wait to unpack my fabric!! yea!!

I will be updating soon and posting pictures of the girls rooms.
Have a wonderful day everyone and I hope the easter bunny came to all of your houses...
 
I took these pics last night of my stoller bags and stroller. I remade the stroller bag, the big one, twice. I really need a pattern to go by. When I just wing it, things don't always turn out the way I want them too. Whatcha think? Easy to spot in guest services??? :lmao:

How much do you charge?:rotfl2: I am going to attempt one also, but I am not putting a zipper in mine, going to use an alternative. :rotfl2::rotfl2:

On a serious note, It looks great!!! You said duck cloth right?

Good to see you around! I can't wait to see more of your creations again!

Wow, that looks great!! I think it will be very easy to spot! Are you organizing a stroller swap or something?
 
I'm in the process of making one for my little one right now. They are a bit time consuming, but I could finish one pretty quickly if I had more time to just sit and do it!
Now, keep in mind that I am making one for a 9-12 month old (and it could probably fit her a bit longer as well). I think it will be about 12" long by the time I'm done and it should be crazy full. I use about 3 yards of nylon chiffon and just about a 30" X 8" piece of satin. I would maybe double that for an older girl?? I get my nylon chiffon from afc-express.com for $1.54 a yard!! Shipping is a bit more (I spent $40 and it was $17!!, but that still only makes it like just over $2.00/yard). So if you want to take the time you can save a ton by making your own!! I follow the directions by kia eve (sp?) from Martha Stewert.
I'll post pics if I ever get it finished!

Jess

Can't wait to see the pics of the finished product. :) I'll have to go check out that site you mentioned. I tried a petti last year and I hated it! I made it with tulle though. I'm hoping it will turn out better with the chiffon.

I threw this together because AbbyGrace had an Easter "event" (as Morgan would call it) today. We had an egg hunt at our church and I wanted an excuse to CASE the Easter vida that was posted here. SO, this is a total CASE, but here it is.

Adorable!!!

Oh my gosh!! These are amazing! I can't wait to read your tutorial on these!!!

Just had to share. What do you think?
th_razberrysorbet002.jpg

I agree! Flea, your pettis are beautiful! Can't wait to see your tut. Minnie is cute, cute, cute!

Ok, Here is Evie's Curious George skirt - it was the hardest because I wanted the book panels to show so the top layer is just about the same length as the bottom and the waist is basically the 1 inch needed for tht elastic. And can I tell you how frustrating it was to have the red thread break when I was using the double needle last night !?!?! - always the red thread.....
but it was fine if it was on the singel needle.......grrrrrrrrr

George looks cute!

On a serious note, It looks great!!! You said duck cloth right?

It was a serious PITA. LOL Yes, duck cloth. It was so thick that my serger didn't want to serge it. So unfortunately the inside of the big bag is only half way serged. I hope it holds up. Can't wait to see what you come up with. :) If you decide to order your bag instead, I'll bet it will be here in time for your june swappers. It was backordered until May.

To the poster who wanted the flannel pink minnie dot, sorry, can't remember who it was, but I went to our wallys last night and I got 2 yards. PM me if your still interested.

Thanks! And yes, I started one a few weeks ago. It's in my siggy if anyone is interested. It left on it's maiden voyage to the world this morning with a friend of mine. I soooo wish I was going with it. :)
 
[/QUOTE]I love it! I love clippies! Did you use an online tutorial? We had one in the bookmarks, but it looks like the site moved and I'm having a hard time finding it now.



There's was a tutorial for the minnie clippie in the links. It looks like the site moved and I can't find the tute anymore.[/QUOTE]


I had seen them online a long time ago, and couldn't find any directions so I made it up myself. I have to make some for a friend today for her disney trip so I'll try and take pictures and make a tutorial for those that would like it.
 
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with ideas. My dd has her kinder show coming up. She has to be a mule. :laughing: UGH. Why couldn't she have been Little Bo Peep. Little Bo Peep I could have done. Nope. Mule. Here whole class will be mules. I"m totally at a loss with the mule costume. I have googled and just find nothing. Right now I have brown pants and a brown shirt and I'm going to use a headband, felt and yarn to make ears, mane and tail.

But, it's so darn boring. I found the pants and shirt at Target. I really would love to make something but I honestly cannot think of any other way.

You ladies are so wonderfully creative so if you have any ideas, I would love to hear them!!

can the donkey look like eeyore just use brown donkeys and mules don't look much different
 
Happy Easter!

I am teaching a class at school on Fridays with another teacher. It is supposed to be quilting but we had all the girls right down projects they might be interested in and there were a lot of purse, stuffed animal and pillow requests. I decided to take stuffed animals and see if the kids and I could make some this weekend. They are pretty cute and Megan wants to make many more!

My mom likes to sew for special occasions so she made Megan's Easter dress with the prettiest sparkly eyelet I got at Hancocks at the end of summer. I am glad I waited to use it!

Would it kill them to pretend that they like each other, lol!

Hope everyone is having a great day!
 
Ok here are the pettiskirts I sewed this week. They actually came together really quickly but I just had limited sewing time due to sick kids and having to run around for mum (who hurt her ankle so needed a chauffeur ;) ) I actually took photos as I was making them too so hopefully will be able to finish off my tutorial shortly :)

Testing the twirl factor

Those turned out great Leah!!!

What a little cutie!! I have some Thomas fabric that Sawyer talked me into buying. I would make him something cute like this with it. But, he is currently refusing to wear anything but his red Buzz Lightyear t-shirt. :rolleyes:

Really??? :confused3 I hadn't noticed! :rolleyes1 :rotfl2:


I just love this dress!!!
Lovely dress - I love how neat embroidery is!

I haven't been on for awhile, but here's a picture of what I've been working on. Outfits for American Girl dolls! Saving tons of money! I remember seeing some other posts of outfits so I'm looking forward to seeing more!

So here's a bed I've just finished!!

I love the dollie stuff!


Just had to share. What do you think?

Minnie's bow isn't that great, but I am going to make it with polka dots anyway. It was late and I just wanted to get it finished for my DD. Please excuse the paper towel its sitting on. :)

I love it!!! I want to make some of those! Were they very hard to do? Keep in mind I'm glue gun challenged!

I found the tutorial for it too:

http://www.girlythingsbows.com/mouse_ear_clippies.html



I think I'll just have Teresa get me any more pettiskirts if I want them. I'll pay the extra $15 or so not to deal with all those ruffles! :scared1: Yours are just beautiful, though!

I was thinking the same thing about the pettis! I really have a hard time working with chiffon, so I can't imagine doing an entire skirt out of one!

I'm so glad you are going to start sewing again Elisa!!! I always love what you make!

And, I'm glad you are back too! I hope you stick around. :hug:

I forgot your mom was bringing the dress. It is really pretty!

I LOVE the animals! They are so so cute! I wish I lived by you and could help you test all your stuff you do with the kids.

Really cute animals.

Love the sparkly eyelet dress too!

And, Yes, it probably would kill them to pretend to like each other! :rotfl::rotfl: It may not be any comfort, but just know that you're not alone!
 
It sounds like we'll miss each other if I decide to go to DL in October. Darn! But, how exciting that you're going to finally be able to go!!

I think I'll just have Teresa get me any more pettiskirts if I want them. I'll pay the extra $15 or so not to deal with all those ruffles! :scared1: Yours are just beautiful, though!

Aww bummer - how cool would that be - meeting someone from the other side of the world :) where are you staying? We have booked one of the new pirate themed kids suites at HOJO's :) I'm beyond excited now...I'm wondering if it's too soon to haul out the suitcases and have some packing going on :rolleyes1 My friend who we are travelling with is coming over today for a disney chat and planning session (we were both travel agents so complete overplanners - she's still in the industry haha).

Pettiskirts here cost upwards of $120NZD so it was worth it for me to make it. Even bringing them in from the US isn't cost effective anymore due to our slack exchange rate :(


I lost the quote but for the person that asked

Part of the tutorial is up on my blog (which will be changing soon as I have a new one about to start) http://lostinstash.blogspot.com/2009/04/pettiskirt-tutorial-wip.html The sewing part of it will be soon (I just find I'm not good at writing out instructions but if you start sewing before I get to it just send me a message and I'll help you :) )
The first ones (pink and white ones) I made with just shirring elastic - the black ones I made with shirring elastic for the first 2 layers (I like shirring elastic as I'm in a bit more control of the ruffles) and then the ruffle layer was done with the ruffler foot and only 5 broken needles ;)

A friend of mine has said that she can write up a programme that will do the calculating for you - just put in your measurements and it will tell you width and amount of strips required etc :) I'll have to chat with her again about it.

Hope you are all enjoying your long weekend :) Ours is almost over :( so DH will be back at work soon - it was nice having him home for a change.
 
Hey guys. I have been going crazy, and I knew if anyone could help me it would be you guys. Does anyone know of an online seller that carries the michael miller dot fabric? I am looking ot get some minnie dot, and some of the white with black dot or black with white dot. I can't seem to find them in one place together.
