Sorry nothing is modeled but you get the idea.


Here are The Muppets. I am really happy with how these turned out.

Here you can see I have not hung up my curtains!

Ok I gotta say love the Miss Piggy. I really want to make muppet outfits or dresses for my girls for the Studios. Did you use an embroidery machine or pattern for the piggy applique? If so can I ask where you found it?

Once again they are all nice but I am a muppet lover so very excited to see a muppet set.

Thanks for any help.

Tell her you are going to start a chart to see how much she grows in a year. Make a table on Microsoft Word and list height, weight, shoe size, and the measurements you need. Then put today's date, 3 months from now, 6 months, 9 months and a year. Find a place on her wall (or the back of her closet door) to keep it. If it is in her room, she will think it is for her-not you!

Yeah, I know, I'm sneaky!

Great idea. I am going to have to use it, too.

Sorry nothing is modeled but you get the idea.

These are customs for a 12 year old. I felt I need to be careful about how whimsical I made them.

I do not love the shorts but I am not a fan of deco denim in the first place. She will coordinate with the little girls and I think she will like them.

Great, as usual.

I love EVERYTHING! I've been trying to find a good Nemo picture to applique for Violette's Nemo outfit. Where did you get your image from?

I got the design on ebay. I will poke around and find it. I cant remember! LOL

Lisa, I love Buzz. That is really really cool!!!

Now please spill how on earth did you do the black line drawings on the cat's fur and the Things hair? That is beyond fabulous!!!!

You are so talented! I'm really digging the Buzz

Great Work! Do you open the sides up in order to go all the way to the side seams?

We have been so busy around here lately that I was 40 pages behind! Yikes! Way to far to multi-quote so I just started quoting where I started today. Everything everyone has made has been beautiful! Great job!

Fantastic job Aimee! I think you nailed it perfectly for that age.....cute without being too cutesy. Love the Nemo outfit! They're all fantastic but I think that one is great for her age!

For those of you with TWEENS!

What do you make for them? I'm making a striped skirt for DD10 and I've made some baby doll shirts, but I just don't know what else to make for her that would be stylish?

Any suggestions??

See my above quote! Aimee's stuff is great for that age group!

Great job as always Lisa! Are you making your own t's now? They color coordination is perfect!

Mine made me CRAZY!

At first, she did not want customs. All she wanted was some tees (either applique or store bought).

Then, two weeks before the trip she decided she wanted a stripwork skirt and a mulan sundress

Another thing she really is getting into are the hotfix rhinestud shirts, she has a three for this trip!

The designs are from digitalbydesign on etsy. I asked Dena to digitize these for me. She did Piggy, Kermit and Animal. The plan was each girl would be a Muppet. No one wanted to be Kermit! I think I am going to make myself a Kermit tee.

Hey....your trip is 16 days away!!! Does it seem real yet?

I think I'm in ticker denial! Just 15 days to go and I have to work 8 of those days and we'll be out of town 3 more and graduation party at my sister's house 50+miles away another day. I would really like to make my DD(6) a simple sundress (will probably only take 1 hour) and a Dug (Up) Vida. Plus the 3 days we're away we're going to Cape Cod so I would like to make both DD(6) and DD(10) tunics and would like to make one for their 6 year old cousin. And I want to make my SIL a bag for her birthday.....I don't know why I haven't been in the mood to start any of it???? All 3 kids still have customs from prior trips that fit and a million store bought Disney T's so I really am not going to stress about it.......

Ok - here is the ladybug patchwork as a simply sweet with a twirlly skirt - really twirly skirt. Should I put the ribbon and flower on ( i think I will make flower removable though for easier washing)? I was thinking of the ribbon by itself and maybe I could make something that could be pinned on in the same place as the flower that is more Disney. Anyway - the basic dress is done. Whew! Darn that ruffle was LLOONNGG!

So what do you think?

I like it without anything added.

I want to go back to Disney World so bad! I'm missing it, and I don't know when we will be back. Just having a down time right now. Wish we could afford it!

I just wanted to introduce myself. I found disboards while researching for our upcoming DW trip in September and then found the disboutiquers threads. I am so inspired by all of your beautiful creations.

I taught myself to sew about six years ago when DD was born. I used some of the Children's Corner patterns to make her some cute outfits, but haven't made much since DS came along three years ago.

I also have to thank you all for the recommendation on the YCMT website and Carla C's patterns. I've recently made a couple of tiered skirts with matching outfits for DD's doll and made the stripwork jumper for her doll. I'm currently working on a stripwork jumper for DD. I am so surprised by how professional it's looking; Carla C's pictures make things so much easier!

Thanks for the inspiration!

Welcome! We want to see photos!

Now the real trick is taking updated measurements when she's sleeping!!! She had another growth spurt and I haven't sewed her a thing since the spring. So I need new measurements

I was going to say tell her you're making her something for school (but doesn't she wear a uniform?), or an outfit for something else and then so sorry I just got so busy at work I didn't have time to do it yet.....but Piper is way smarter than me!

Those are all so great! Love the Buzzes!

The designs are from digitalbydesign on etsy. I asked Dena to digitize these for me. She did Piggy, Kermit and Animal. The plan was each girl would be a Muppet. No one wanted to be Kermit! I think I am going to make myself a Kermit tee.

what!! I would think they would fight over kermit...

I am looking at an auction and it's for a piece of fabric that is 15"x43". Can someone tell me how much yardage this is? Is it approx. a 1/2 yard?? Also, it says that it is "preshrunk and ready to go"? I don't know if it's a good deal or not so since I'm so NEW to all this sewing I don't want to waste $8.49 and it be worthless.

I'll be Kermit, if you are willing to take me along.
Heck I might be willing to wear a full blown Kermit costume if someone was willing to take me along to WDW.

Great stuff Lisa. Love the Dr. Suess.


Aimeeg - love the outfits for the 12 year old. They are perfect for a girl that age.

That is just under a 1/2 yard. A 1/2 yard would be 18"x44". $8.49 seems expensive for that amount of fabric but it does depend what fabric it is. If it is something hard to find, it might be worth it.

I would love 2 yards if you can get it! I can PM you my email and I have paypal.

I have a question for those who digitize for applique. I think I'm about ready to make the step to buy PED Basic and get an Embird trial. I really want to try digitizing some small applique designs (I have a specific idea that would actually work well with a 4" x 4" design limitation). One thing I've noticed is that most of the applique designs I've seen have a very even width satin stitch around the pieces. I think that looks really nice for many designs but I was wondering if it's possible to have that line vary in width. For example when I do hand guided applique, I have the stitch width taper to a point when I add detail lines such as for 'folds' in clothes.

Thanks!

Here's what I've been working on over the weekend and yesterday.

First, it is possible to taper the width of the stitches. Though I have done some digitizing, I've not done a lot so I can't particularly tell you exactly how to do it, but I do know that it is possible.

Secondly, these outfits are FABULOUS! Great work!

Okay...for the record, it totally freaks me out in amazement that you are doing all of that by hand!!! Your lines are so perfectly straight and don't waver at all.
You Rock!!!
