Whoo hoo! Wonder if Jeanne can leave the kids behind? That would make it alot better cost wise for her. Jham where are you? Thoughts on this? Oh wait, she isn't at home tonight!

Yup...she's being a little Wicked tonight

Sometimes I really wish that I hadn't gotten the AP because now all I think about is when else I can go!!!

When does it expire? I am thinking it is going to expire the weekend before a good weekend for me in February.

SO I have a question for you crafty ladies...(of which I am NOT one, but I love what y'all create!)

Is there some unwritten rule that says you don't dress your kids in awesome handmade Disneywear once they wear more than a 6?

Okay okay I know I'm kinda kidding here, and I do understand that a lot of patterns are made for the little ones, but it seems like there isn't much ebay etsy anywhere for the bigger girls so I wondered if it was just a lack of patterns available or something?

What about me? Do I get to go to WDW without "kid"?


And if I did, who is going to hide me when Morgan finds out?

Nope! My dd just turned 8 and considers it a punishment to have to go out in public in "store bought" clothes

I hope not, I wore custom tees for our trip!! I know, not quite what you meant...

My DD is 6 and does not like to wear most of the things I've been making. I think around this age they rebel and want to be able to pick out their own things to wear. If I make her something that she specifically requested she loves it! The Vida pattern is great for the older kids, because its not twirly but still boutique.

It's expires the first weekend in February but I could aways renew if you have an idea

We gotcha back Cindee!!!!

Let Miss Morgan know that a certain Miss Aisling will be going to AG Place New York on Wednesday and that I"m sure they'll be something there with Morgan's name on it

I do art (I would post my link but I'm not sure if you could do that? It's nothing for sale) so I did make them wear matching iron=ons our last trip, but that's as crafty as I get with clothes.

My girls really like a lot of the stuff we see, but then I find it's usually only toddler sizes!

I unfortunately cannot sew on a button, but I've loved going through this thread today seeing what you all have created. Decided I'd better say hi so I didn't feel so much like a stalker, lol!

Morgan has a package to send to Aisling. I am not supposed to know what it is in it, I peeked LOL

And mine is 9 - I may have to limit my ruffles more but she loves it when I sew for her!

I forgot to add...is that Westland, MI? If so, I lived there until 3rd grade! My parents graduated from John Glenn and we used to live near Wayne Memorial!

I found this for you, however they are sold out. Maybe you could e mail them and see if they will give u a rain check or notify you if one becomes avaiable. looks simple enough, and the price is definataly right.

Oohhh, the price is right!! Thanks for finding that for me - I looked for the Hello Kitty one - but couldnt find a used/inexpensive one.

You guys are too funny - I try to find kids to go with me to Disney!!!!

I think it depends on the kiddo if they still want to wear customs or not - so far Elizabeth, who will turn 7 in June loves to wear the clothes I make. When I gave them their Friends Around the World outfits for our missions conference at church this weekend their mom pulled the girls dresses out of the bag first and then Tim (4) piped up and said is there something for me too? God Bless that little guy!!! of course there were pants in there for him too!!!! So anyway, just depends on the kids!!

I borrowed my MIL's viking quilting machine & it has an automatic buttonholer...I did a few sample buttonholes & they came out perfect. Today I put buttonholes in DD's dress & 1 is not sewn tight enough at the top so it looks a little sloppy, I forgot to change the size so they're a little big, AND when I cut the buttonhole it must have snipped the side a little b/c it is unraveled a little! I guess I'll just hand re-inforce that spot. I'm just so disappointed--none of these issues happened on my practice ones.

I hate when that happens to me. I When I haven't done one in a while I will practice a few then do the actual one on the outfit and sure enough one of the problems you mentioned happens. Arg I hate that. Sorry you had so much trouble.

Doggie party

I don't have many pics without other kids in them. Here are a few

The kids all started out adopting a doggie. I had adoption certificates for each kid. The doggies:

Then, they made a tag for themselves and their doggies:

Then the vet center

Then some doggie treats (combos, slim jims, cocopuffs, cereal straws that looked like raw hide)

There was also an obstacle course, but all of those pics have other kids in them. We had hot dogs and burgers. The kids all ate out of dog bowls. Cooper really got into the spirit of the doggie party-

Lots of other kids "ate with their faces" as Cooper puts it. They had soooo much fun! Lastly, my little guy with his cake and cupcakes. Lots of our friends won't eat either chocolate or vanilla. you can't please everyone, but i try- chocolate cupcakes and vanilla cake.

Thanks for looking.

What a fantastic mom you are. That looks like such a fun party. How creative you are.

What about me? Do I get to go to WDW without "kid"?

I am sure I won't be without a kid. I have no idea where I would leave him if I wanted to!

Nope! My dd just turned 8 and considers it a punishment to have to go out in public in "store bought" clothes

:thumbsup 2 Morgan! she knows her Momma's clothes are better!

Welcome! If it isn't a like for selling then I think you are okay to post it.

It's late now, but put a pin at each end of the button hole, so you don't cut too far. I usually use my seam ripper. When I'm done, and you can still do this, put some fray check in the seam. It will help to keep it fray on you.

I put the pin at the top & used the seam ripper, but I must have been too close to the side row on the other side. I sewed over it & it will be pretty hidden under the button. It's certainly not pretty! I'll have to put the fray check on it too. Thanks!

 

[DisneyKings]

I LOVE this theme--you came up with some great ideas!

I hate when that happens to me. I When I haven't done one in a while I will practice a few then do the actual one on the outfit and sure enough one of the problems you mentioned happens. Arg I hate that. Sorry you had so much trouble.

Thanks! Glad to know it happens to others too...

grrr.... I just want to scream!!! I've been using the sewing machine that I was given and I've been having a very hard time with it. It's an old kenmore model 1913 and it turns out that i am missing the base. So I'm stuck on "free arm" sewing - which doesn't work for me. I just don't know what to do!! I'm missing the entire base. I've looked through all the things I was given and its not there. I've been searching the internet for parts, but I can't seem to find any. The sewing machine was made in the 70's. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I would greatly appreciate it!

 

[mirandag819]

This is probably a dumb question...... but I have seen lots of machine appliques on store bought jeans on etsy and ebay...... how do you do that? I don't know how I could hoop store bought jeans and not go through the other side of the jeans.

 

[jessica52877]

You have to rip open the jeans up the seams. Depending on the brand depends on whether I open the inside or the outside seam.

Here is a pair that I did "by hand"

and one using the machine
