I just posted and looked at my ticker....is that possibly right.... 6 months till my Disney trip????




:eek:



I've got a million more things to sew....oh and I have a funny story. We bought our airline tickets and they ask if you are checking luggage. My dh put down "no" and I asked how I was supposed to get their clothes to FL. He said I should just put them in the girls carry-on. Now....mind you....he means those cute little rolling back-pack size overnight suitcases.

:confused3

:confused3


Really the man is clueless.....doesn't he know they will have like three changes of clothes for each day...18-20 customs each???


But he brings up a good point...how do I get all these clothes down there? Should I ship them to myself? Or is that too costly???
 
Have had a lot of things going on.... so sorry I have been absent from the board... I am back and trying to be more productive everywhere...

That is just darling. I love the teapot fabric! Where did you get it? Did you do your designs on the embroidery machine? If so.. where did you get them if you don't mind sharing. I am on a mad dash to make an Alice custom for a mad hatter tea part this week.. :rotfl:
I am going to try to be brave and take the freehand applique route.. dunno if that is going to work out for me or not though. I love the Alice.. she is prettier than some of the designs I was thinking about buying.
Definitely don't have time to digitize one.. digitizing is so time consuming! It is cheap though. :laughing:

I have lots of things to go back and comment on. I am sick atm and in a mad rush to plan out this dress though.

Oh.. and I keep thinking I really need the Anna! You women are such enablers! *smile*

The tea pot fabric I ordered from overseas last year, I think I got the alice design from "the place that shall not be named" :wizard: . but I do not remember the seller it was one of the first ones I bought when I got my emb. machine.

Uh, is there a MOD in the house:confused3
 
Yeah I finally got some things done and I actually got pics loaded on to my computer so I can share with you all! My husband is gone on business and my daughter went to sleep on time, so I finally could sew!
First off, my daughters Easter dress. I made the Feliz and just love this pattern!! I had to size it down to fit a 9 month old, but I think it turned out pretty good. I really love how it turned out! The only thing I don't like about it are the straps. I can't tell if I did them wrong or if it is just because the dress is just a tad bit too big on her.:confused3 The straps fall off her shoulders a bit. Any ideas suggestions?? (She didn't much care for the Easter Bunny!!)

And I finally finished a pettiskirt. I haven't tried it on my daughter yet, but I think it looks really good. I think on my next one I am going to add just a bit of extra yardage on each tier to make it a teeny bit more full, but I am really pleased with it. And if I just sit and take the time, it's really pretty easy!

I've ordered a bunch more chiffon and I can't wait to make a few more! Much better than shelling out $60!!

Thanks for looking!
 
I finally found my cord for my camera! My son had it, he has no idea why:confused3 I guess it just took it's self into his room and jumped into his USB port! Anyway I can post pix of little warriors give items.

Shirt design for the girls and boys:

Sorry for the pix size photobucket is having issues they are either tiny or huge!
 
Does anyone know where I can get Donald Duck material ? I am still planning our vacation outfits and I am thinking I want to do something with Donald, I have never seen much made in a Donald theme. I am trying to think of a way I can make an outfit for my 2yo dd that looks like the character (but still looks like a girl lol) but I am drawing a blank so I am thinking of a cutesy Donald themed outfit instead. First thought was a sailor outfit with Donald embroidered on it. :donald:

I have found a lot of Donald fabric in old Disney sheets. I actually just found some GREAT Disney sheets at a garage sale! You can check on :wizard: I have seen a lot there.

I just made some outfits for my DD3 - my first try at making clothes for her other than just minor alterations. Not that these were big projects to say the least, but I'm just beginning! Made a tinkerbell mock-smock dress for her, and an embroidered mickey mouse t-shirt with gauchos. I'm thinking of adding ruffles to the bottom of the gauchos. The embroidery is far from perfect, but my first try!!!

Super cute! I love the fabric choices!! You did a great job for your first outfits. Can't wait to see more.

So Easter was interesting at our house. Sierra had to go see the Dr. (this happens every Holiday) she will be ok.

Olivia got Thumper in her Easter basket. She huged and squezed him, and then decided he needed to be a girl.:eek:

She immediately asks us to call her Auntie Darla to make her bunny a dress, um no not going to happen. So we found a dress in the doll box. Olivia then decided that "she" would need a new name.

So without further delay here is Silvermist.......

Hehehehe I sooo love that! Silvermist looks ever so lovely!

OH I love that tea pot fabric. I have just been loving all the fabric you have been getting from overseas. SO darn adorable! Love the new set
 
Well....Kevin never agreed to meet me half way to give Georgia her dress. :sad1: I just couldn't believe that one. I was so upset with him. BUT it was done and waiting for her when she got home and LOVED IT! I ended up needing to go to my brother's house to Chat and vent about the fantastic ex of mine bringing his new girlfriend to my house with out telling me. I was just thrown for a loop on that one. I Needed to vent with out my child being in ear shot. SO off we went. She had her bday gift there from Feb! So my SIL was great and played with her for nearly two hours so I could get it all out talkin to my bro. Anyway....She wore her dress top. and looked so darn cute in it. and she said she wants to wear it to school. hehehe She picked out the fabric its not too "easter"ish so I think she can pull it off!

You are better than me, I still have bunny fabric sitting in a pile next to my sewing machine. I totally forgot about it!

Georgia looks abcolutely adorable in in it. Glad you got everything off your chest and she got to play with SIL. :hug:

I've got a million more things to sew....oh and I have a funny story. We bought our airline tickets and they ask if you are checking luggage. My dh put down "no" and I asked how I was supposed to get their clothes to FL. He said I should just put them in the girls carry-on. Now....mind you....he means those cute little rolling back-pack size overnight suitcases.

Really the man is clueless.....doesn't he know they will have like three changes of clothes for each day...18-20 customs each???


But he brings up a good point...how do I get all these clothes down there? Should I ship them to myself? Or is that too costly???


I have shipped down packages for our last two trips. It is so easy to do. I shipped down DD clothes, costumes, and most of our shoes. It left a lot of empty space in extra suitcase for souvenirs for the trip home. ;) This last trip at Christmas time, I shipped down DD clothes, toiletries and shoes. I put the box in the closet and used it for our dirty clothes, then when it was time to check out, I taped up the box, went to the front desk and shipped home our dirty clothes. I used the UPS store at home for shipping, they box and ship and it was not costly at all. About what you would pay to check a piece of luggage. Depends on the weight but this year it was about $27.00. It usually takes about a week from NJ to ship to FL. But take in to account any holidays that may delay shipping by a day or so. Plus with UPS you can track and know exactly when your package arrives.

I'm really sorry things didn't work out for you to meet up and give the dress over in time, but how much better was it to be able to see her wear and and love it- and want to wear it more! Sounds like you have a really great brother too! :hug:

Silly Man! I think I'd look into shipping stuff to yourself. It's actually a great idea!

have you checked www.stitchontime.com ? Claire is GREAT, and her designs stitch out really, really well. She has a ton of stuff, I bet she has Alice.

Sorry things didn't work out, but the dress turned out really cute!
 

Jessica...I have a clear sewing foot kinda like the one you posted...I only use that one foot for everything but buttons and gathering...its pretty sturdy plastic...well at least mine is...so did you get it?


I am going to purchase it right now! I can't wait to be able to see what I am sewing!!! :banana::banana::banana:
 
I've done it a few times and it's very easy. Especially with the updated elongated pattern. I just use the chart that Carla gave once for enlarging patterns and enlarge it by that % on the photocopier. Megan wears a 14 in most tops now (for legnth) and the 12 in that pattern fits nicely.
GREAT THANKS!

tricia;
THAT IS SWEET MAKING THEM FOR A CO WORKER! Great job! Sorry didn't mean to shout cap lock was on...

I actually just use a regular sewing machine with regular thread for mine. I have found that the nylon chiffon ruffles on its own if I use a long stitch and a low tension (I have the brother cs6000i). So even though there are a lot of ruffles, I don't have to worry about gathering or using a ruffler foot! Like I said I used 3 yards of chiffon, but in length yards it will be...about 60 yards of chiffon to ruffle! I'll try to get mine finished tonight so I can see if my way of doing it actually works!! I posted a tutorial a while back...it's pretty similar to the one from martha stewert in the bookmarks, but modified a bit to make it a little easier. If the petti turns out alright I can post it if anyone is interested. I am definitely going to check out Flea's though..she may have way better ideas as hers turned out lovely! With the prices I can get, even having to use 10 yards of fabric is only about $15-20 per petti!
That gives me hope! Doesn't the thin material get pushed down into the feed dogs? I know when I sew thin knits that is what happens so I have taken to adding the stuff I use for appliques and then taking it off..

Eyore4Ever- Gorgeous!
Cherlynn25- So cute! I really need to start adding rick rack to stuff. I always like the look of it.

Mommy2JulietJocelyn- LOL They look so cute playing guitar hero! The dresses look perfect on them!
lauralong81- They look great! Keep up the good work!
I'm so excited...I finished my dining reservations for our trip!:cool1: Really this was horrible for me! I totally let the "magic" day come and go...what was I thinking!

I already had CRT...shhh...it's a sruprise for Katie.

But now I have Whispering Canyon...I really wanted to go there!
Sci-Fi...I think the kids will think this is a hoot...and me and Tim can sit in the back seat!;)

50's Primetime...I just think this will be fun if we get a good waiter.

Garden Grill...I couldn't get Chef Mickey's so this one is more for the boys.

Now...I feel I can really start sewing...uh:rolleyes1...yep...I only really have 2 outfits done...that leaves 19 more to go...but really the boys will be farily easy...it's Katie's that takes a little more thought!


ETA- I almost forgot...my mom keeps calling...whe is having a blast! I am so happy for them. She said MK is great today too. She is a little worried about the weather for tomorrow...but I told her don't worry, it will all work out!
YAY!
Do you book CRT and Chef Mickey's 180 days of 90 days like the rest?
So glad your om is having so much fun!

Call me silly, but I think I'm gonna try a Cinderella dress with Carla's Precious Dress pattern. Alter the front bodice so that it dips lower in the front and add a peplum (or whatever that over skirt fluffy thing is called), and there you have it!
Go for it! When I saw the Simplicity pattern posted I thought it looks like you could use Carla's pattern too ! I may have to make Sleeping Beauty dress with that pattern!

I want to start doing some sewing and would love to know where to look for tutorials or how to get started. My sewing experience includes a pillow in middle school and buttons on pants. I am pretty crafty and I would love to do some of the appliques I have seen here and some of the twirl skirts. Where do I start??? Also what is a good sewing machine to consider (I want a good one so that I don't have to upgrade several times...just don't want to spend $3500).
Welcome!
We all love youcanmakethis.com!
As for a sewing machine like others have said we all have our favs. As some one who with in the past yr went from a $100 machine to a $350 machine to an embroidery machine. You ahve a good thought going for a better machine BUT I still wouldn't do mine any different. I would get a cheaper machine then if you love it upgrade. Maybe get a cheap one at a dealership that will let you trade up for a better machine. That i what I did.

poohnpigletCA- :rotfl2:

maiziezoe- Welcome! What a great story! Your outfits are great!
I love using the Easy Fit Pants pattern for my ds. I've made him a few shorts and only one pair of pants because my pants look like pajama pants. I'd like to make him more, but I think all of my pants will come out looking like pajamas instead of regular pants. Has anyone done boy pants that look like pants instead of pajamas? Is there a secret I'm missing? HELP! I love this easy pattern and want to make lots of pants!
I have made a few my 6 yr old wears to school. The one he wers the most is his cord embroidered football pants. I can look for a picture if you would like?
I think it depends o the materiel. I tend to use that pattern more for my older kids pj's in the winter but in summer for capris and shorts it is perfect!

Eyore4Ever149
Love that dress! My niece wanted a rainbow ruffle dress but I was scared that it would look funny ut seeing how gorgeous all the different colors yours is I can't wait to make it!

jessica52877- WOW I actually have an applique foot! I never knew it!:rotfl: When I applique i tried using my reg foot but some how a clear foot showed up and it is so much easier. Not that I am remotely as talented as you but a clear foot is easier. I can't imagine how stunning your stuff would be if you could use the right foot!:rotfl:
eeyore3847
Lori that is adorable!

froggy33- Great dress! LOVE the Petti!

Tracie They are perfect! Don't worry about the size we LOVE big pictures!
PrincessKell-Sorry the ex was a butt but I am glad you had your bro to vent too! Peach looks so cute in her bunny dress!
