[aimeeg]

Go right ahead! They are from Silly Goose. There are three things I cannot do. 1. Bake 2. Pottery 3. Smock You want a custom or anything painted I am your girl.

 

[twob4him]

Oh yeah of coarse, I always use 2-3 layers too, I was just wondering if it felt enough like regular fabric that you could use it as the "fashion fabric layer", or would it not look like a normal cotton would?

In my opinion, I wouldn't depend on it solely as the fashion fabric...it is pretty thin cotton.

I finally finished this skirt...my first skirt! First thing, actually, that I've made besides the easyfits, hideous glasses case, and sewing the edge around some squares on tee shirts, lol!

Emmy picked out all the fabrics. She can't model it right now, though, as it's 4am. Let's hope it fits. If not, I'm safety pinning it tighter and calling it good, lol!

Now I have to go clean my house in time for the housecleaner to get here in the morning!

That looks fantastic Marah! Emmy made great fabric choices, I can't wait to see it on her! It looks perfect with your hotfix shirt! Where is she wearing this outfit to?

I am glad I am not the only one who cleans before someone comes to clean!

 

[Camping Griswalds]

Maureen, CampingGriswalds had a really cute easy skirt. She took a curtain valance, sewed up the side, and put elastic in the casing at the top!

Hey! I can't believe you remembered that! EASY Peasy!!!! Another easy thing is to buy the pre-shirred fabric at Walmart. Just measure how wide you want it to be, then subtract at least an inch so it stays up, then sew up the tube. We have 5 of these dresses, and my DD loves them!!

Great job!! And you thought you were sewing challenged!!!

 

[tricia]

Tyler, your quilt is AWESOME dude! Too bad you aren't closer so you could show ME how to sew!

I love the quilt, and I love how you really put thought into the fabrics! It's a "Tyler Original" and that ROCKS!

Tyler,

I think your quilt is fantastic! You did a great job! I love your color selection and your execution. Keep up the good work. Speaking as a semi-professional quilter, I am always happy to see young people enjoy their first quilt. Tell Auntie Barb to take good care of it. One day it will be worth a pretty penny...once you become a famous quilter!

Nini

Tricia-I love the POTC shirt you made for your son. It is too cool.

I love the quilt. Did't he get a sewing machine for Xmas? I think it's pretty awesome.

The bowling shirt is the best shirt I've seen for a boy yet. Is it a pillow case?

The POTC is a pillowcase. Got it at Walmart.

Message from Tyler:

Thanks for all the great comments. I had fun making the quilt.

I'm gonna try to catch up later on all the awesome stuff you ladies (where's tom??) have been posting today. I'm still fighting with Emmy's skirt, lol!

I did want to post up some stuff today. I DID NOT SEW IT! Melissa did the sewing, we "collaborated" about fabrics and ideas but she was the genius behind almost all of it. Please forgive Lizzie (the darker shorter haired girl) she had a very hard weekend with her biodad so it took her a while to get into the spirit of it. Look at her smile, though, with her Lilo dress!!! She and Melissa did a lot of planning on it together and she put it on and was in LOVE! She is my tomboy who usually hates dresses, so that she asked for these and loves them is HUGE. Hannah is the smaller girl with pigtails, she's my diva- notice she decided that Cindy's dress needed gloves, lol! You MUST have satin gloves to dine with the princesses, I guess! Let me know if this is too big and I'll resize.

To explain pirate day- My father in law was in a very bad accident about two years ago. He was working construction and another worker ran over his foot (bending it backward onto itself) with a fork lift. He was in the hospital almost a year, fighting hard to be able to save his foot. Eventually it was decided it would probably be healthier (not such an infection risk, end up with better mobility) by having it amputated. It was such a hard thing for him to do, he is a very independent man, but he knew the choice had to be made.
Eventually they fitted him for a prosthetic bottom leg. The top under his knee is very much like a "peg leg." When they had him go pick out fabric to seal on the top of it under the plastic coating..he picked a skull and crossbones! Yes, my FIL has a "REAL" pirate peg leg! To us it was like the first sign that yes, he was going to be fine, and was even having some "fun"/accepting what had happened. So we decided one day at Disney we would ALL be pirates!

The girls look awesome.

And I totally understand having to have a sense of humour when dealing with an amputation. My DH lost his arm and shoulder 10 years ago in a mining accident, and having a sense of humour has always been important in dealing with it.

 

[jenb1023]

Thanks everyone for the nice compliments on my first dress! I really appreciate it! I think I am going to try Carla's A-Line next.

Congrats Steph for making the YCMT newsletter! I think the Boutiquers need their own section to showcase all of the fabulous things you guys make!

 

[3huskymom]

!

Is that Cape May's? We are eating there and wondered what to make the girls. What dothe characters wear?

Yes, that would be for Cape May's. Here's some pics of how the characters were dressed May 2008. I don't think Chip and Dale are there anymore.

Hope this helps!

I just had a revelation yesterday that our trip in August is less than a month away! I have so many ideas for outfits and so little time to finish. But my husband keeps telling me there is no way she can wear all of them! I'm just glad I have 2 more trips after that to sew for.

SInce we are going with my mom and it's just Hayleigh and I for MNSSHP any ideas for a dress us theme for the three of us???

Love all the outfits! Your girls are so pretty.
The story about your dad is amazing! glad he could find humor at the end of it it all. Love the idea for Pirate day.

Hello everyone!!!! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend. I have fallen far, far behind on this thread, and don't think I am going to have time to go back and catch up but I did glance through the last few pages and love all the 4th of July customs! My poor kids didn't have any this year...!

Our trip is in less than a month, and I don't think I am even going to finish sewing all the customs that I have in mind. Dh and I have been saying for the last few months that we should sell our current home. Couple weeks ago, we look into building a new home and dropped by the builders' sales office and they showed us a "ready to move-in" inventory homes and we love the home! So, if all goes as planned, we will own that home 5 days before we leave on our Disney vacation...and we hope to have our house ready to list around the same time...so I have been packing like crazy!
Wish us luck!! This is going to be a crazy month.!

Good luck with the house stuff

Here's Hayleigh's flip-flop dress I finished today. She'll be wearing this one to breakfast with Minnie at the Beach club.

very cute

My stuff is not nearly as spectacular as all the others that are normally posted but I thought I would share anyway .. Here are some outfits for my 2yo to wear at Disney in a week in a half.. I still need/want to add something to the blue and pink dress I started it to look Cinderella-ish but it did not turn out that way I also need to add embelishments to the Minnie/Mickey inspired dress, I just dont know what to add. I am still working on shirts for my 12yo to wear and if there is time I will make shirts for me .. I also really want to make the little one a yellow Belle-ish dress.. I just dont know if there is enough time ..

Don't be silly they are GREAT!!!!!! This is my favorite

And you gotta know, August 7th this page will be plastered with so many pics of "phineas" and "ferb" you'll be sick of seeing them. I have their adoption videos done and waiting (slide shows of pictures from when we met each of them to today!!)

I am holding you to it! I can't wait to see the REAL pictures!!!!!!

Finished 2 new Back to school sets!! WOO HOO!!! can not believe it is almost that time. I hope to finish one a day and then move on to halloween ...lol

Lori

very cute

Well, I only got a photo of one of the dresses and DD was posing but you will get the idea. It certainly doesn't compare to the other stuff on here but I am pretty proud of it - for those that missed my earlier post it is the first dress I have ever made (I made it this past weekend) and I have not touched a sewing machine since 8th grade. DD loves it!

Thanks to Jeanne (jham) for her directions for a pillowcase dress - those are the ones I used with a little extra help!

To answer your other questions, I used a sewing machine - my MIL's that she let me take since she doesn't use it. I am not sure about adding ruffles but wouldn't think it would be that hard.

great job!

Here are the girls 4th of July outfits.

Like a dummy I forgot my camera so these are from my Cell phone. We were so close it looked like the fireworks were raining down on us. The show lasted for 30 mins Madi ended up falling asleep. She didnt even wake up during the Finale
I am off to catch up on the thread Katie was so generous to give everyone her cold.

adorable

Anyone want a Sneak Peek?! I took more than 100 pictures today!!

Tickled Pink!!

First time shirring!! Loved it!!


DD and "Mia"

That is Darling!

Ethan turned 5 last month. I am finally getting around to posting some pictures. We were planning on having his party at the park but there was a bad thunderstorm so we had to move the party indoors.

Here is his outfit his shirt says Walk the Plank,
and Captain Hook and Tick Tock Croc are on the shorts

My Nephew just turned 3, he loves Bob the Builder. I made this outfit for him

Shorts

Happy birthday to Ethan even if it is late. The outfits are great.

Couple more:

The boys Pirate Outfits (with some creative editing, sorry) from Miss Missy:

And an AWESOME purse she sent me. I loves it!

so cute

I always thought these where so great!

Oh, and I tried this thing I heard about at MP Market. I used water soluble topping on top of the fluffy terry cloth, and when I was done I put my Floriani pressing cloth on top of it and steamed it. The water soluble disappeared. It was awesome! No more picking it away or tearing it away and messing up stitches.
I had prewashed all the fabric, and really didn't have time to wash it again.

That is Darling I am sure they will LOVE it!

I finally finished this skirt...my first skirt! First thing, actually, that I've made besides the easyfits, hideous glasses case, and sewing the edge around some squares on tee shirts, lol!

Emmy picked out all the fabrics. She can't model it right now, though, as it's 4am. Let's hope it fits. If not, I'm safety pinning it tighter and calling it good, lol!

Now I have to go clean my house in time for the housecleaner to get here in the morning!

You did a fabulous job! The fabrics are great.


You all are so creative in so many ways! Does any one have any suggestions for a Transformers cake???

That is really cute. I just picked up some flip flop fabric today to make a bag for a co-workers daughter. Good choice for Cape May!!

Adorable as always. Nice to see your son modelling for you too. We don't see enough of him, and I could just eat him up he is so cute.

Love the Cpt. Hook shorts. And happy belated birthday. My DS would have gone nuts for the Bob stuff about 10 years ago. (Whoa, time flies)

Marlo -

For a transformers cake you could just use the autobot or decepticon emblem. You could carve a sheet cake to the shape, then either use icing to cover the shape and do the details in black icing or cover it in a dark icing and cut out shapes from fondant to create the emblem. Here are a few examples:

I couldn't figure out how to get the just the images, so here are links to a few, hope they work. Good luck!
