My dear sweet DD tried on all the adorable summer Disney clothes I made her last year....... and they don't fit!!!!!!!!!

I am sooo bummed, doesn't she realize you simply cannot locate some of this fabric anymore-I can't lengthen these things!!!!!

I totally agree! Add shorts! Don't you hate when they outgrow all of their cure stuff!

 

[sweetstitches]

Okay, so I haven't been able to keep up or catch up, because I have been working on my shop! Here is my latest set. I really love how this came out and wished we had a trip planned so she could wear it!

And because this is just a cute pic

adorable!

Hi MaryAnn - a taggie is the little 4 square blanket - if you look close, you can see all the ribbon tags on it - babies love to feel all those litte tags - taggie!!

So it's like a lovie? I wasn't sure if it was for that or something to hang on the nursery wall. It is cute.

I finished up a few things for my trip this weekend.

I made this shirt a couple of weeks ago for DS Joe-I still haven't had a chance to go to JoAnns to see if I can find any buttons I like better than what I already have.

These are really great fabrics!

They grow too fast, don't they? Why can't you lengthen them? Post some photos, maybe we can come up with an idea.

He is having surgery in the morning to repair a hernia. It's his 7th surgery in 3 years (most of them were related to his gastric bypass surgery.)

Thank you.

 

[livndisney]

Shannon, can you believe she outgrew MULAN? I am SOOOOOO not happy about that one. That thing was LONG. I will never match the dye lot on that burgandy.

I can see it now-my dd will be the one running around WDW with a strip of mismatched cloth at the bottom of each dress

Hey wait a minute, knowing Morgan she would LIKE that LOL

Of course! So do they fit in the chest? Show us pics! We will be the judge of if they are to be disgarded LOL
You know....the Feliz dress had a way of making the dress change to a skirt when they outgrow it as a dress- any of your dresses that you might convert? Or maybe make a stripwork out of them?


Shannon- thanks for asking, they are going down. But I dont think I could take another day of laying on the couch. I did still manage to clean my kitchen and pick up the living room - is there anyone else out there who can't possibly lay down and relax if toys et all are strewn across the floor? DH has always had a knack for being blind to messiness. A talent I would like to have on some days!

I have a weird sort of rashy thing going on all over my stomach, I just started using skin so soft bath oil a week ago- anyone have issues with their products?? I usually take Advair and xyzal for allergies, but due to PG Im not taking anything. Did you know there are several asthma meds out there that can cause a small placenta???

I want to make a few things for my neices for their birthdays. The first coming up is May 12th, she will be 2, she is wearing size 2T. Mom isn't really into any ruffles, or dresses. I was thinking A-line Top with capris or shorts-for her. The older one turns 4 in June and I thought I might chance it and make a simply sweet top and capris with that michael miller unicorn-rainbow fabric I posted a while back. I figured Carla's patterns will give me the best results for a good fit-anyone have other suggestions?

 

[twob4him]

A big thank you to all of you!!! You certainly know how to make someone feel good about sewing!!!

Cathy! Those look fantastic! I am sooooo happy that you are getting to use that fabric that I found for you!

You are putting me to shame! You have gotten so far in your sewing for your trip that is a MONTH after mine!!! i will have 2 measly things to post tonight hopefully when my models get back home. I have a spreadsheet with ideas, clip art, etc, I just need to make a timeline- gosh, I am an over-planner!!

I am making rainbow cupcakes today for Cooper to take to school tomorrow. I can't decide if I need to make decorative picks to go in the cupcakes- time will be the determining factor. Hopefully, I can post our mickey bowling shirts and Cooper's doggie birthday party shirt tonight.

Stacey! I missed you! Yes, when I finished Brooklyn's dress I posted it and said you sent me the fabric...did you ever see that? I think it was during your busy crazy week so probably not. Thanks again so much for the fabric! I must admit to being in a sewing frenzy! I am sewing for three girls plus tees for myself and my friend and her two girls! It takes me a while to sew since usually can't during the week. I am "cooked, fried, put a fork in her" done by evening...I am sure you can relate! That is so cool you have a spreadsheet and are so organized. I just kinda gathered ideas and pics and wrote it all out in a spiral! I am really looking forward to seeing what you made! Hope your models get home soon!

That is adorable! I love the white background! I am making a Big Give strip twirl with Snow White. Did you do her by hand or with a machine? Your dd is adorable too!

I finished up a few things for my trip this weekend.

First I want to thank Linnette for posting the link to fabricsgalore.com I got the safari, palm tree, and zebra fabric from there. I thought the shipping was a bit high when I placed the order but the prices were VERY reasonable so overall it was still a good deal. Then the packing list had a hand written note that the shipping was too high so she credited me about 1/2 of it.

My friend Terry (we've been friends since 3rd grade-almost 40 years ) lives in Jacksonville and she comes down to WDW when we visit. She and her DD Halley (9) will stay with us in our AKL CL room Saturday night. We are all doing the Sunrise Safari on Sunday. I am so excited to do this! And stay at AKL-this is new for us!

I made this shirt a couple of weeks ago for DS Joe-I still haven't had a chance to go to JoAnns to see if I can find any buttons I like better than what I already have.

I made this for me to match:

I made this for Halley. I wasn't in love with it when I first finished it but now that the buttons are on I like it more.

I made this to match for Terry:

I made Joe this shirt for either our dinner at Narcoossee's or California Grill. I love this fabric! I bought more so I could make myself a blouse with it if I like the fit of the first one I make with a pattern I'm going to try. Carla needs to make adult patterns!!!!!!!

I made Joe & I t's to wear on the plane for check in at AKL.

So I only have 1 more weekend left before my trip. I'd like to make myself 2 blouses and I'd like to make my 2 DD's Lizzy & Emma shirts with this really cool circus fabric I bought at fabricsgalore for $2.99/yard. We are going to the circus on a mother/daughter girl scout event the night before my trip. PLUS I bought a new laptop computer so I want to install some software, I need to make sure all my photos are uploaded and backed up so I can reformat my memory cards and I need to PACK! OH and work is crazy busy!!! I think I'll be ready for a vacation! OH...and I need a hair cut.....

Awesome job!!! The only thing I haven't bought stuff for is Animal Kingdom...there is a good chance we may not make it there....so I am waiting till we plan out every day in minute detail before I go and buy fabrics! I love the zebra strip..so cool...I may case that if its ok! I will have to check out fabricsgalore too! Thanks for your help! Good luck finishing up and don't forget some pampering for yourself!!!

Just felt it might be apropo to repost this from our first page of every thread


Toadstool- did you see my slip up? I was complimenting your beautiful dress and addressed it to Adi....

I spent the whole day with my feet up, and napping on my couch. DH came home from church and he even went grocery shopping!

Hope to get some sewing stuff accomplished tomorrow.

Thanks for reposting that! You beat me to it and I see that Webmaster Kathy posted too...thanks to both of you! Gotta follow the rules ya know!


Yaaaa for you for resting and putting your feet up! And you dh went grocery shopping too? Thats quite a treat!

OK, get ready for too many pictures in general. I will try to break it up into replys so you don't have to respond to it all.

First off, I made rainbow/tie-dye cupcakes today for Cooper's class. His birthday was Saturday.

pre-icing

side view

All iced and yummy

and one of the 3(!) boxes I have to send

More to come- Cooper's party shirt and both boys shirts for disney on ice/disneyworld trip in Sept.

 

[sohappy]

My models were more than uncooperative. They were terribly fussy and had attitude to spare! So the pics are over their clothes, without buttons, and with a side of sass.

First up, Cooper is have a doggie birthday party on Saturday. I will post more about it later. I am soooooo excited. I have so many fun things planned for the kids. I wish I was 4 and could enjoy all the fun stuff! So Cooper loves dogs, esp. biscuit his "dog" (that uses batteries) he got for christmas. He loves the biscuit books too. So here is his shirt.

To busy playing DS, to be bothered

Back view

I had regular brown buttons picked out, but Cooper spotted these "biscuit" buttons:

I have some shorts cut that I could whip up if I get the time. They are brown. I have a little bone (with the word biscuit embroidered on it) that I will applique- again, if I have the time. This week is going to be another doozy! I have Disney on Ice on Wednesday, then have to drop the kids off at their dad's that night. I have to drive 2 hrs so that i can go to this boot camp type place for team building. I am excited about the team building aspect, but not the outdoors stuff and it couldn't come at a worse time! On Friday, my parents will pick the kids up from school and be waiting at my house when I get home from boot camp (7or 8PM). The next day is Cooper's party- 36ish kids + parents and we are serving dinner!!! I am crazy.

more coming in next post.

 

[sohappy]

Last post- the disney on ice outfits that will be reused for our trip in September. Two outfits down, 40 more to go!!! I am going to try 2 or 3 outfits per day for 8 days for 2 kids- gotta get busy!!! I don't know if these will still fit then. They seem like they might be too short by then. UGH. I have yellow buttons that I will add hopefully tomorrow.

this pic pretty much sums it all up.

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

I am going to make a pooh blanket I guess - not actually quilting, lol. I have this really nice pooh fabric I love,

(I got it at fabrics galore.com for way less though) and so one side I will do with that, the other some sort of soft plush material, put batting in between and then then use some silky bias tape all around. . . simple, but I just want to show off the fabric, and I am getting more and more tired in my pregnancy and less motivated (also has to do with my immunity having been compromised during my bout with cancer). I will learn to actually quilt one day and make something nicer Tigger is my favorite Character.

It sound like yours will look amazing (though be a lot of work!!).



My feet got like that at 12 weeks, while I was camp director at girls camp a few weeks ago - too much time on my feet. I got them back to normal with lots of water and sleeping with my feet elevated at night - after 3 days they were completely normal and have stayed as such since

Oh your poor feet! That really early. I know my first go-round I gained 75lbs, I cant recall when my feet were altered- but that's way early. How is it going this time? You need a ticker for your PG!!

I haven't figured out if mine will look amazing or amazingly bad. Ill see if I can find a photo of the quilt pattern i am using. (although its in blues and mine is in pink and purple)

Its the inset photo in the upper right corner (but mine has borders too)

You definitely should check out the free receiving blanket pattern on YMCT!! You could put Minky on one side and there are instructions for different trims. I LOVE this fabric too. I have some that Im saving.

this pic pretty much sums it all up.

This is AWESOME!!!! (I hope they don't outgrow them!) You have a LOT of sewing ahead of you! I can't wait to see what else you create for your trip.

 

[sohappy]

OK, that's all! One final question- about the "I made this" section of you can make this. I haven't ever submitted anything. I am ultra paranoid and obsess about weird stuff. Anyway, I haven't ever submitted anything because I don't want them to have to post it. Like, if they think it looks bad, then they post it and someone thinks the pattern sucks because of my piece. I know I am obsessive and crazy. Just assure me that if they think it is crap, they won't post it, ok?

LOL!! I could be wrong, but I think they post everything that gets sent to them. I know some of my pictures are VERY grainy on their I made this section, yet they still put them up.

These are some of my all time favorite bowling shirts EVER! I LOVE the applique work on them! GREAT JOB!

I wouldn't worry about posting to YCMT at all! Those are so cute they would surely help to sell the pattern!

LOL!! These look great!! I have the panels for a bowling shirt done similar to this (almost the same appliques) I just keep putting off finishing it!! I made it to match my Minnie parts set. Nice job.

Thanks for the compliments! The cupcakes are just store bought mix divided into bowls. Then each bowl is dyed with food coloring. I just use a spoon to blob them into the tins. The kids love to help with this project and make their own cupcakes. Cooper requested them specifically for his party. They taste just like a "banilla" cupcake, but he thinks they look yummier (if that is a word)!

 

[mirandag819]

Yep.... they are addictive. I made my second pair of pants today, this time I tried to add a cuff. I think they came out okay, a little plain, but they went together okay.

Today was DH's first full day in Iraq and the distraction helped. I think I will try the simply sweet next, and hopefully I can start making a few things for our Disney trip in August. I bought a few customs for her, but I would love to make some myself. plus I have the embroidery machine to start playing with.

 

[karamat]

I plan to make these for DD and my 2 neices (birthdays in April,May and June) turning 2,3, and 4...

and...

The tote is made up of fat quarters, so I am hoping to dig around and find the right fabric tomorrow in my stash. Aren't these cute? I thought they would be fun as gifts
the cupcake tote is only like 7"x7" and 3" wide.

I bought the tote pattern at the Houston Quilt show last year... haven't made it yet though. Can't wait to see your pictures of it. My mom gave DD (16 months) a book for Easter that has a little cording handle on it... DD carries the book around the house like a purse. Guess I need to make her a little purse now. She could always use it to carry her paci

Cool you have a pathfinder too. I like mine don't get me wrong but I hate my current dealership and this is also my 2nd pathfinder. So I am kind of over it. You know? When we where looking for a new truck DH wanted either a BMW x5 or he wanted to get me my Volvo xc90 but I didn't want to spend the extra money so I pushed for the Pathfinder and now I regret it because here DH was wanting to get me the car I wanted but I was saying no! Silly me! Next time I will listen to him!

We had one of those car purchases where I wish I had listened to DH. My much loved Maxima died one Sunday and it just wasn't worth putting any more money into it. So DH and I go car shopping that next Tuesday. My mind-set was "a car is just to get from point A to point B" and went for inexpensive. We both HATED that car... we commute together and have a 30 - 45 minute drive both ways. After about 1.5 years DH took care of that car for us... totaled it in a Freeway accident (one car - no major injuries). Next car we researched and bought what we WANTED.

Next car is my choice! I really didn't mean to guilt DH into it... we were at a dinner party and I made a comment that I don't have a car... we have his truck (10+ years old, from before we married and the baby can't ride in it since it is a single cab) and the car we carpool in every day (he drives)... I don't think he had ever really thought of it like that But as long as we continue to carpool we really don't need a new car, so I just have to make sure when the time is right I remind him that it will be my choice!!

I finished both outfits for Epcot and I went outside with the girls to take some pictures. Its blowing a hurricane out there!

Yaaaaa, I am glad I am done! DD11 and I will be wearing tees with the Mickey Head in the flag material. IF I get the embroidery machine, I would like to add Epcot 2009 on the cuff of their capris and onto our tees.

I LOVE these! The color combos are great!! I want to start sewing for our December trip. I know if I wait until closer to the trip life will get in the way and I'll never get everything completed But I have no idea what size to plan for... DD is 16 months, and has always been in the 95%+ range for height. She's moving into more and more 24 month clothes and the last CarlaC Aline I made for her was size 2 (fits pretty well.)

ok que the violin music.........


My dear sweet DD tried on all the adorable summer Disney clothes I made her last year....... and they don't fit!!!!!!!!!

I am sooo bummed, doesn't she realize you simply cannot locate some of this fabric anymore-I can't lengthen these things!!!!!

I guess I can always call the dresses tops and add shorts right? LOL

Oh boy!! How can that happen!!! Im sure you will come up with a very creative way to lengthen them!!!

Also, thanks for your help with the swimsuit choices - the ones from the Children's place should arrive tomorrow!! I got one for Elizabeth and one for Hannah - I also got Elizabeth a princess one from the disney store, and hannah the pink minnie mouse polka dot one!!! I even got her the light up flip flops to match!!! I cannot wait for them to try them on!!!

Oh my - I LOVE TIE DYE!!!!!!! This is so cool - reminds me of the POP century's tie dye cheesecake!!!! YUMMY!!!!!

Hey, is anyone sewing for Aubree - a 4 year old for one of the big gives? I made her this tink round neck and would like to make shorts to match - her measurement around the hips I think says its 29" - do I really make a size 10 in the easyfit pants? or should I just buy a pair of size 7 (like her mom says she is) shorts to match? I made a 6/7 in the round neck....

HELP!!!!!!!!
