Look how cute this Michael Miller line is.

One of the coops I belong to just did a buy on that fabric...The ladies on that bought it like crazy!!

Is this the same fabric you guys were looking for?? I don't think it is, but just checking.

Not quite the same, but none the less. It is awesome, where did you find it?

Crud the doctor just called to let me know I have swine flu! Told me to rest for the next 7 days.... doesn't he know I leave for Disney World in less then a month and I have lots of sewing to do!

Ok So this is another pattern that I just got off of YCMT.
This was the first time making it so please no jokes...

(NOTE I need to cut off the threads that are hanging out)

Very cute! You did a great job!

I don't think I ever posed the bling that I had made to match my Minnie set. I actually changed my applique image to match the bottlecaps better.

[/QUOTE
Great bling! I love it! I haven't done bling for my girls before but I want to for our next trip. They love their jewelry!

Wooops, I forgot the pics!

Very cute! I need to get going on Up outfits for my girls but I don't know if that's going to happen.........

I'm FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i finished my four feliz dresses this afternoon about 3:00. Yipee! I feel like I have been released from jail. Haha!

Now, I will have to figure out how to post the pics for you all...but I have to warn you, they are totally CASED!

Did I mention that I have already made 4 customs for my unborn baby? Lol...her room is not finished yet, but, never fear, she has Disney customs Where are my priorities???????

Christi

P.S. Someone please ease my fears and tell me the Vida is not as nearly time consuming as the Feliz?? If so, I'm running NOW!!!!!!!!!

Yeah! for you! The Feliz does look very time consuming but I've never done it. I've done four Vida's and they aren't too bad. Actually, it's a really quick dress to put together in my opinion. Good luck with them!

Here is what I have been working on yesterday and today. Thank you Lisa for the tip about serging, then iron, then stitch for a hem! It made the hem on the ruffle so much easier. I cased the idea of using the minnie dot fabric with a tiered dress like this. Oh, and this is the first time I did buttons. I put them on the back so they would not mess anything up. I am glad I finally tried it! Next up, a zipper!

A little bit of twirl:

Thanks for all the great comments on the patchwork dress!

Super cute!!!

Oh, no! Rest and feel better soon!

Okay here I go again. Before tackling Goofy Vader I thought I would try just a mickey head. Thanks to you ladies everything now lines up. Next issue!!!! It seems that the fabric wants to "puff" away from the shirt. Can I put something like wonder under on the backside of the fabric and then after the tack down stitch and cutting around the design iron the fabric to the shirt? Or will this make the shirt too heavy? I am using tear away stabilizer. I am sorry I am just totally lost with this.

Where in Alaska do you live? It's my favorite state. My family spent 4 weeks exploring it when I was in college. If it wouldn't be so far away from family I'd move there in a heartbeat. My 4 dogs (3 husky mixes and 1 purebred husky, all rescued) would LOVE it there!

I live in Juneau. It is very pretty up here. You get sick of the rain fast, but we've been having an incredible summer. It actually got in the eighties which was a record high since 1960-something. I'm so glad because last year it rained aaaallll summer. We got probably five sunny days, total in three months. It was so depressing. We quickly planned a Disney trip to Florida for the fall. We desperately needed some sun.

Oooooh noo! So sorry! Sounds like bad timing, but at least you can be grateful it didn't strike during your trip. I hope you get better fast!! And I hope it doesn't spread to anyone else in your family so you can all enjoy your trip together!!

Okay ladies, I need some ideas!

I was looking at some pics a person sent me (of Fantasmic, trying to gauge if it will be too much for Phineas) and they all had these cool custom shirts. I'm just putting up the image I made myself of them rather than their actual shirts:

Can anyone think of something similarly easy for a tee for Phineas while at Crystal Palace?

Do you remember those cat shirts with just the eyes and whiskers? How about doing a pooh shirt similar to that. And if you have time, do the easy fit shorts with Pooh.

I've been making these for a little over a year now.

(This is a bad picture. It was not stitched at all, let alone double stitched like I normally do. It's not even the same clip I use now. This was just an example of one of the designs I do.)

I just came across this ribbon today.

What do yout think?!? I can't wait to make some with it! I'm thinking of making some key fobs out of this, too!!

So cute! They can be hard to find. My mother said it's becuase your not supposed to use them becuase of stranglulation. I'd never use it to put the baby to bed! And they look easy to release.

While doing some internet searches for appliques, I read that you can use a spray fabric adhesive to place the fabric. I haven't tried this yet. But it sounds like it would work.

Yes! Definately never put your baby to bed with one. Even if you did though, it would be really hard to strangle with one of mine. They are only about 8 or so inches long. It would take a lot to strangle a baby with it that short.

Here is my DD's latest tank. If anyone does not know she is slightly NBC obsessed.

Aimee, I love it! Hannah is just too cute!

I'm very happy to say I am the proud winner of Leslie's set!

Update. I did not have any of the spray adhesive. I have tried it in the past and it was a mess. Got on the hoops and would not come off. I did have some of the wonder-under and it worked great. I cut the fabric out a little larger then the design and ironed the wonder under on the back. Did the trace. Peeled the backing off. Put fabric down. Did Tack down. Trimmed. Ironed fabric (in hoop) to shirt. Then did the outline. So far so good.

Thank you ladies for all of the advice. You are all so great. Now that I have it down. (I have been practicing on old shirts) I am going to try the real thing in the morning. If everything goes good I will post pictures tomorrow.

I wanted to share some pictures of Gracie at the American Girl Boutique & Bistro in Atlanta. We went last month during a visit with family.

 

[Tink561]

We're going back in September and here is a sneak peek at some of the new customs I have for the trip. There will be too many for that trip but we will have seasonal passes so I plan to do lots of day trips. We may go back for a weekend in October, definitely a day trip in Nov. for my birthday, sometime in December and we are taking Gracie for at least a day on her 4th birthday in January. How can she be closing in on 4?

We didn't get to use this one last year.

I have a few others on the way too.

OMG, how cute is she? She looks like she's having a blast. Gotta love a girl who knows how to shop and still look good.
