I love how my red mickey head tees came out on that shirt! (thanks Jessica)

I loved them so much that I almost bought Dallas a shirt to CASE. Then I decided why would I make another Mickey shirt! We have probably 30 appliqued ones in his closet! I really love it though!

And Seth needs long sleeves. He ALWAYS has on his sweatshirt and you can NEVER see his cute shirts!

Okay my Star Wars crazy DS7 was looking over my shoulder and is now begging. My I Pleeeeeease have that shirt. I will have to ask if I can case it now. or at least do something similar. Do you mind?

CASE away! It is alot fun to make and love to see the kids reactions. I am making one right now for one of Dallas' baseball teammates! I was in a good mood the day the mom talked about their disney trip that happened to fall during Star Wars weekends!

SOHAPPY! LOVE everything! I really skipped most of the last 5 pages besides browsing at the pictures! How do you make the cupcakes. You know I am not talented enough to do that.

LOVE the TINK shirt! Wendy did you make that? I should go back and read. I LOVED your taggie blanket and quilt too. I loved how the quilt squares all landed looking great!

SNOW WHITE was adorable! I love using their colors to make outfits. It totally pops with the blue bottoms!

Hi Hannah welcome to this sewing thread

I started sewing (forced by my mother ) when I was 8yrs old , it is so rewarding!!! I remember for my senior prom making dresses for some of my friends and this help me make some extra cash, so it is not only a good little hobby you can get hook on it might help you too , and by sewing simple details to your ready made clothes you make them unique and one of a kind,
What kind of fabrics you like? is there a style of outfits you like? does your mother sew too?

Linnette - It is awesome!! I only wish I can have your skills someday, I'd settle for a small percentage of your skills!

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.

Well my feet happened because I was on my feet mostly from 7 am until about 1 am everyday for 5 days straight. Plus I was only sleeping about 5 hours a night, and with my pregnancy fatigue it was AWFUL. But they got back to normal so I know it was just that (oh and I wasn't drinking as much as I should). So I drank all the water i should and at night put a pillow under my feet and in a couple days, back to normal - they also weren't as swollen as your poor puppies are, but enough that they bothered and I could see it.

I have actually lost 3 lbs so far - I'll be 15 weeks on Thursday (and I do have a ticker, see below ). This is my first baby, first pregnancy. . . so I am worried, but doing everything I can to make sure things go as well as I can actually control. I am overweight so I am only supposed to gain 15-25lbs, and I plan on sticking to that (or at least hoping). I have added more walking and more nutritious foods. Well I actually lost 25 lbs before I got pg, probably helped the process along.

Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL!! It will be so fantastic when you are done!!

I downloaded the receiving blanket pattern a while ago - I need to check it out again. Thanks for reminding me!

Ok this crazy preggo lady is going to sleep (stayed up late because I napped late - from 5 to 6pm).

Just wanted to tell everyone that today is my birthday, and hubby called me right at midnight from the boat(offshore) to tell me happy birthday! He won't be home for my birthday for another 7 years he said. I was so tickled. He can't call a lot, so it meant alot! He set the alarm to wake up and call me. Feels good to brag on my man! hehe!
Oh, and in case anyone wants to know. I am now 25.

I'm going to attempt to post a pic here. I tried to post several last night and I got a message saying it had to go to an administrator for approval and it never showed up. If it does show up, these are a couple of the first things I ever made (that promptly fell apart after we got home). I made the patchwork twirl skirt and the shorts. I didn't do the shirts, I'm not that good!

That patchwork skirt is great! I love your fabric choices!

Cool it worked! I would like to add that Alexa doesn't normally wear eye makeup but she had a makeover at the BBB our first day and she thought she needed to wear the eye makeup they gave her after that!

MinnieVanMom - We living in Torrington, it's 85 miles north of Cheyenne, just 7 miles from the Nebraska border. Are you from Wyoming also?

Here's a couple more pics.

My two oldest daughters

And my husband and two oldest sons - they weren't exactly happy to wear these but they humored me for one day!

And Alexa and Connor again. My first appliques are really awful close up because I didn't use stabilizer and I was in a rush to finish everything.

Cute stuff!

Check again!

I posted on your blog. I am not great at blogging, but I am trying to learn. Thanks for the compliment on Hannah's Easter dress!
I think I am going to have to get some LPS fabric now!

YAY on the Potty training!
That outfit is stunning! Those pictures are gorgeous!
Did you ever Digitize those haunted mansion things we talked about?

No, I didn't ever give it a shot yet. Sorry.
Can you re-send me the picture? My harddrive crashed a few months ago, and I don't have the picture. I actually have some free time right now because I am not sewing anything until I get my serger... call it a protest I guess. PM me if you don't have my email address still. I'll try to remember to PM you if not. I'd love to give it a shot. I really do enjoy digitizing.

My multi-quote was huge, and I really should be doing housework. I'll finish it later!

 

[Flea]

Doh I lost all my quotes

Everything looks great - I love the "casual" snow white outfit my girls knew exactly who it was when they saw it.

The rainbow cupcakes look fun - reminds me of my friends birthday cake which she blogged about here and another friend made a cake the sameway in the weekend. Soooo cool. Izzy wants one for her birthday now - lucky her birthday is not till january - she would have forgotten by then.

hi My mum used to be a pretty avid sewer, so I have her old sewing machine (meaning I have some old 20 year old bomb). I dont really have kinds of fabrics that I like.. I just like cute interesting ones [;.



Just a question about the.. tiered/twirl skirt.. Do you have to use like.. elastic-y thread.. or can you just use normal cotton thread? Does it make a difference?
I really wanna make one but i only have this left over brown fabric from bambi... dang.

oh my gosh its really late! I cant believe Im sewing so late! (lol its only 9:27.. but ive been up since.. early.) Funny because I started writing this post about 9 hours ago and forgot!

I havnt yet started nemo handbag.
but im working on gathering [;

[Stephres]

I am still waiting to be CASE'd

nobody ever wants to case me

1) No one can CASE you because you don't use patterns silly! Do you think we can just think of an idea, sketch it and then make it? That's why they make patterns, because we can't!

2) LOVE the snow white sundress! I think it it perfect so don't change a thing.

I hope to be able to post pics of some of the outfits I have been working on for dd, Kristin, who is 3 and loves everything that is "Mommy made".

Welcome, can't wait to see your outfits!

Hi guys! I thought I would just introduce myself seeming as I lurk so much around here!
Im Hannah, I live in Sydney, Australia and Im 13. I dont exactly have much skill when it comes to sewing but Im learning [;
I obviously dont have children to sew for so I just sew costumes for myself, lol.
Well.. tonight Im going to make a start on this Finding Nemo handbag I promised my self I would start 5 months ago... So Ill talk to you all later [;

Welcome Hannah! I am teaching a sewing class at school and we are currently making stuffed animals out of felt so I am especially interested to see what kids like to sew. Hope your Nemo handbag goes well!

Just wanted to tell everyone that today is my birthday, and hubby called me right at midnight from the boat(offshore) to tell me happy birthday!

Happy birthday! How nice that your hubby called!

I feel like I am so busy at school I am getting nothing done! I did make a couple of wristlets for birthday friends that are girls of Jacob's. I also almost finished a dress for Megan, I just need to do the hem. I have been working on it since Carla's pattern came out (not very diligently you see). And I need to finish the bag for silent auction Friday! Eeep! I feel like time is closing in on me.

 

[DisneyMOM09]

Show off Wendy, Show off!!!!

I always want to CASE your stuff! I'm just afraid I'm not talented enough to pull it off!!!!!

Um, yea, because you don't use patterns. I keep hoping you're gonna post instructions for the princess dresses that you posted a while back so I can TRY to Case. I'm still trying to figure that out!

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Linnette, I would be more than happy to CASE anything you made! Please forward all pattern pieces to me, and I will case away!

Love all the new stuff posted recently!
As I was going through Leighanna's backpack for school today, I noticed that she had her Spring pictures in there. Why she didn't tell us that they were in, I don't know. Unless... it was because she snuck a toy to school that day, and preceded to have her picture taken with it!
Silly girl!

Welcome! I can't wait to see the bag! I love that you have taken an interest in sewing. In 7th grade I took home ec and loved making an apron. No one around me really sewed though and I never knew I had an option to keep sewing! Isn't that silly! But so true! I just love to sew now.

Just a question about the.. tiered/twirl skirt.. Do you have to use like.. elastic-y thread.. or can you just use normal cotton thread? Does it make a difference?

Just regular cotton thread does the trick! Have you made ruffles before or do you know how to ruffle? There are several different methods but I use a dental floss method and just did a tutorial on how to do it.

I always want to CASE your stuff! I'm just afraid I'm not talented enough to pull it off!!!!!

Linnette, I agree. We can't case because we aren't good enough to just make up our own pattern. You have real talent that I do not have! I have step by step directions talent (with my own ideas in the middle when I get stuck).

Tom, Tom, Tom...... that is not a toy. It's an accessory- and it matches the little pink bunnies on her dress perfectly! Cute pic!!

I was just catching up after this weekend and had to comment...Tom...that truly is so sweet! I could just hug her up for that picture and that will be one you will treasure forever! I could just see her thinking that would be a bad move after the pictures came, but, she looks so cute!


Linette - I have dreams of being able to CASE you...my sorry little sewing ability will not allow me...if it's not laid out for me...you can hang it up! I have done some sewing without patterns before...let's just say, not so good! And there is no way I could make my own pattern! You are so talented!

But you have to admit, the little piggy goes with the little bunnies in the print on the Feliz. Which by the way was the first Feliz I ever saw and then immediately fell in love with.


Linnette- I wish I was good enough to case you! But I agree with Stephers- if you ever use a pattern I will be in line to CASE! Oh, and if I had a Mom that was as hot as you, it might not be so embarrassing. I also think it would be worth the drive to Brooklyn (hour and half?? from me) to SEE you do this dance- I could video tape it for you and we could put it on YouTube for your boys to be reminded of....over....and over....and over

Toadstool.....

Adi- Dont know how I missed your ticker!! Doh!



A word on multiquotes....I learned a long time ago, I seem to be incapable of doing them- at least in the normal way....so now I open up 2 windows, and use one to write my "real" post and the other I search for what I want to quote, click the quote button, copy and paste into my real post, and then go back to the other window for more quotes. It works.

Today I have a drs appt and Im off to find striped fabric for my cupcake base. I also now want to make those tie dye cupcakes!! Megan can't eat frosting, but I bet she would love those plain!
SoHappy you said they have a Banilla flavor- did you use bannana cake mix?

 

[minnie2]

I am so happy to hear your good news. I will continue to pray for your family and that your adoption is finalized much sooner than expected!

Both of our adoptions were legal risk. Katie's was very scary We had her for 18 months and they were still looking for anyone in her bio family willing to take her. When I say anyone I mean like bio dad's cousin in another state who didn't even know she existed etc. It was just awful! Every time the caseworker called or stopped by I was terrified she was calling to say pack her up, I am moving her. Then 2 weeks before our adoption hearing someone with family connections to the bio family stepped forward and tried to stop it. Those were the longest and saddest days I remember. When that judge announce Katie's adoption was final I broke down because of all of the stress was finally released. There was not a dry eye in the court room.


As awful as this may sound when Katie was a baby I didn't know if we were going to be able to adopt her or not. I hardly took any pictures of her. I probably only have about 100 pictures of her from birth until 18 months. But, I could not handle the thought of her not being here and me having all of these things around to remind me of her every day. I regret it to this day. As a matter of fact I can not find the pictures from her first Disney trip when she was 7 months old. I have all but tore my house apart trying to find them. It is keeping me up at night. She has been well photographed from 18 months until present

I better run. I just heard Justin say "I'm okay dad, but I have good news and bad news..." Coming from an 8 year old boy it could be anything!

these adoption stories tug at my heart so much! You are such a strong family to endure this pain but the reward is so much greater! I was in tears reading this! Not only the struggle but the happy ending!

Oh and my 6 yr old actually did the ' Mommy I have good news and bad news AS I was reading this! Glad your son was ok!

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.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Those are so cute! The girls look so happy with them!!!!! i can't wait to see what you make for you 11 yr old.

Thank you for fililng us in; now I now specifically what to pray for. All of our adoptions were legal risk in the sense that the birthfathers never signed, but we were never in the situation that you are in. In Theo's case, the agency thought that the birthfather was going to contest, so they put him in foster care for the first 2 months. We didn't even know about him at that point. They didn't want him to come home with us because they were worried about how hard it would be on Nathan & Rachel if it were contested. Theo was exactly 2 months old when he came home, but because he was a preemie, he had just moved into 0-3 month clothes, so he felt like a newborn. I still feel cheated about those two months though, and if we had been given a choice, I KNOW we would have had him placed with us from birth. Still, I can't imagine how stressful this must be for you, and you are definitely in my prayers!!!


Praying. Our oldest has special needs so definitely some "issues" there and our family doesn't always "get it" either.

I am so glad after all that heart ache you got to be your child's mommy! I would ahve been bawling right with you heck I have tears in my eye right now at the simple thought of what you went through!

hi all i attempted carlas new pattern this morning, i left off cuff and collar for my first attempt, but i think next time i will be ready to do it, the dress went together pretty quick for me ...just a little over 2 hours. i am happy with it...i am throwing a baby shower with a nursery rhyme theme and mia will wear this

[/IMG]

shhh. dont tell anyone i used snaps cause i am afraid of buttons

Great job! i really need to get that pattern!

Here it is on black.

This is on my list to attempt before our trip in November but I am askeered!

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

How cute is she! Love the little feet in the back trying to climb up the crib or what looks to be the crib! Your dd is such a cutie!
Oh and the outfit is Wonderful 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.....

All of these are WONDERFUL! But I Love the flamingo material!!!!! Where did you find it???

Ok back to reading the rest of the posts!
