[mirandag819]

Well ladies, it's my last posting before we leave! We are going to head out tomorrow and stay at a hotel by the airport since our flight leaves so early Monday morning. I have to say thanks again to so many of you who helped out to make this trip super special!!!

Y'all take care of each other, now! If anything comes up I need to know about, Melissa (mommyof3princess) knows how to text me! Maybe I can even get her to post a pic or two for me (hmm...how will I get the Phin and Ferb heads on the babies if I use my cellphone cam?...)

Love ya!
Marah

Have a wonderful trip! I can't wait until the adoption is final and you can show us lots of pictures from your trip!!!

I just have to share my happy happy news!!!! A few weeks ago I posted that DH was going to try to get his 2 weeks leave from Iraq on DD's birthday and surprise her at Disney World...and he said there was a really good chance he would get it. Well a few days ago he called and said he couldn't get it, and that he would be home for leave on Oct 15th (We will be at Disney World Aug 15th). I was pretty bummed, but we started to look at a Disney Cruise or something for when he did get leave, but he said it would definatly be Oct 15th.

He just called, he found someone to trade him and they got it approved.... he will be home August 10th! Which means he will be able to go to Disney World with us!!!!!

I originally planned the trip for when I knew he wouldn't be here, because he said he didn't want to go to Disney World on his leave (something about too hot and too much walking). Well he changed his mind and wanted to go with us so badly. I was starting to feel bad about going without him, so now I am SOOOOOOOO excited he can go!


Now the super planned in me is starting to freak out though.... I need to book him on our flights, try to add him to our ADRs (Which I know probably won't work since we will be going from 4 people to 5.... any suggestions there?) Try to add him to the dessert party, let the VIP tour guide know we have an extra person, and hopefully book a second room at the Poly. I decided to stay at the Poly this year instead of Shades of Green since there was a 40% military discount and since I only had to pay for 1 room instead of 2. The poly at 40% off pretty much equalled what I had been paying every year at Shades of Green for our room and my mom's room. I am not loving the added expense for a 2nd room at the Poly, but I really have my heart set on it now, and DH wants to stay there too.... so I will work it out.

Anyhow just wanted to share my excitment, now I need to get back to planning and sewing...thankfully the flu is letting up some today.

everyone elses advice worked for us too, we called they said no, we showed up and went from 8 to 9 people and it was no problem at all. good luck and i am so happy that you will all be together at the happiest place on earth

OK, this may seem like an odd question but there is a reason - and it's even sewing related. I wanted to see if the Halloween poem "Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat" is familiar to people in various parts of the US (or anywhere Halloween is celebrated). I'm never sure if things like this are very regional and wouldn't make sense to people in most other areas.



I have the instructions written now I just need to get photos next time I make a dress. I decided to try doing a blog (again) but this time I'll focus on tutorials and tips. I can do those pretty well but I struggle to do more 'personal' posts... which is why I ended up abandoning my 2 previous blog attempts.

yep we know it in ny too

have a wonderful trip

Hi! I'm Shelley..I love looking at all of your beautiful clothes. After reading this thread and buying some other great clothes off of esty I decided to try to teach myself to sew Before Wednesday I think I'd only sewed on a button maybe once so this is all new to me. So here's my second project! My first is a dress but I still need to put on the buttons and am afraid to do button holes This one I was able to do this morning and I was happy with how it turned out. I got it from a tutorial I found here:
http://freshlypicked.blogspot.com/2008/03/pillow-case-dress-tutorial.html

I'm thinking of adding a couple of large yellow buttons at the neckline just to make it a little more Minnie like. What do you think?

Great job! I love the idea of adding yellow to it.

Introducing... Belle!

OOH! Just realized she needs the creases pressed out! Sorry! Now that I look at it, I think I'm gonna add a band across the bottom to accentuate the swoopy part. I'll get to that - maybe tonight.

Shannon Belle looks wonderful!

I'm so glad you like it! I hope you'll feel comfortable posting pics of Emily in them - I'd love to see her!

There are times that I sew faster than others. This base pattern (the Simply Sweet) really stitches up very quickly and easily. I've stitched this pattern a LOT! Have I mentioned that I LOVE CARLA C! Seriously, I don't even use the instructions for this pattern any more. I've got it down. that really helps. It takes more time figuring out the little extras that I add than it does to stitch the pattern. Once I've stitched the sample (like the Belle & Ariel that I've just posted), and figured out the details, it really is pretty quick to stitch it out again.

Love Carla C! I have recently taught 2 new people how to sew and I always suggest her SS or her peasant top! Both are adorable fast easy and best of all help boost your confidence if you are a beginner. I love that I can whip one up pretty fast now

funny you say that! After I finish up the princesses in the sundress version of the "Princess in July" collection, I'm hoping to start a shorts (and/or capri) collection. I was kinda wondering if I should do them at the same time that I'm bringing out each princess, but I think I'll finish sundresses first.

Great idea Shannon to do shorts. capris!

I just have to share my happy happy news!!!! A few weeks ago I posted that DH was going to try to get his 2 weeks leave from Iraq on DD's birthday and surprise her at Disney World...and he said there was a really good chance he would get it.

That is wonderful news!!!!! I am so thrilled for you guys!
Personally I would call and explain your situation and hopefully they can gt him in on your ressies and if not just show up with him and try to get him in.

ok, i have an announcement to make:
I have a new baby!!! Here's a pic:

Thanks to her, I was able to make this birthday gift for a friends 3 y/o who loves Curios George and the colors red and blue:

Finally, there were yet more financial hits in our little world, so I had to go to my happy place, and since WDW's not on the agenda at the minute, my sewing room will have to do! So I finally used the modern accents handbag pattern my mom bought me (hoping, of course, I'd make her a bag) and here's the results:

Love the pattern, love that you can use up a lot of fabric scraps of fabric ya love, didn't like the d ring idea; next time I think I'll just sew the straps directly.

Congrats on the new baby.
The purse and the CG outfit are great.

here are few things i created for a friends grandkids

the mickey is one of the first hand pieced ones i have done i usually do everything on my embroidery machine

nice job.

Maryland and New Jersey here...yup...we say that too....lately I have been saying "Liar Liar Pants on Fire" to my 4 yr old who won't fess up to her wrong doings...lol...that would make an interesting custom

OHHHHH LISA...please post a link to your blog.....I loves me some blogs with tutorials!!!!

If you don't
I don't care
I'll pull down your underwear!

oh great, you even know the 2nd verse!

Welcome Amanda!!!! I love your AK outfit...and your dd is adorable twirling around in it....she is so glad mamma is back to sewing!!! I can understand the burnout from sewing for others...thats why I wont sell myself...I am afraid it would ruin all the fun! This thread is addicting so hopefully we will completely suck you in! Start rebuilding that stash!!!

Marah you forgot one thing............to sleep tonight...it was 1 am when you posted that
Have a wonderful adoption trip and I can't wait to see pics and hear all about it!!!

 

[littlepeppers]

Just FYI.... The PE700 doesn't have a USB port so you would need PED basic too if you want to upload, I think that is the only big difference between the PE700 II and the PE 700. There is a 15% off discount code for HSN.com, and if you use any reward site you can get 3% cashback for clicking through their link to HSN...I think once you add PED to the PE700 it would actually be cheaper to get the 700II with a discount code.... I am an accountant but I have the flu so my math might be a little fuzzy today.

Sorry to hear a/b your flu. Hope you get past it soon. Just think of a happy place, you get to look for project ideas on the internet w/ no family interruptions.

Welcome Amanda! I love the dress and can't wait to see what else to coem up with!

 

[pixeegrl]

Great, thanks ladies. I was really hoping it is something that wouldn't make most people go . I've sketched out an applique pattern for the front and back panels of a Vida. The dress will be Halloween themed and I wanted to be sure I wasn't adding text that wouldn't make sense to enough people.

That's going to be awesome! Can't wait to see it! By the way "Hello" from a misplaced Texan!

 

[pixeegrl]

here are few things i created for a friends grandkids

the mickey is one of the first hand pieced ones i have done i usually do everything on my embroidery machine

Those are adorable, I just love the colors of the Vida though....

 

[3huskymom]

Yay! I got thress things finished last night. I just love how fast the Simply Sweet goes together!

Here's my version of a Belle sundress

Tinkerbell w/ circle skirt (sorry for the doggy nose)

And the finished Philharmagic Vida (with added accessory of Daisy,we found her at the Disney outlet yesterday!)

NOw I have 2.5 weeks to go and have my shirts to finish and I think I will attempt the Feliz since I got my hubby to make my pattern pieces for it last night.

 

[SallyfromDE]

Yeah the Poly can hold 5, Shades of Green can too.... but even though my husband likes my mom and sister, and doesn't mind them being on vacation with us, he would never want to share a room with them. One.... it is just too tough for all of us to get ready at the same time, two he liked to be able to have his space when we come back to the room in the evenings, and three we will probably let Taylor sleep in my mom's room at least a night or two like we did last year when she was fussing for mimi or we went out for a little while after the parks (after all I haven't seen him in 9 months...we will want a little alone time). I am still trying to decide if we should switch to Shades of Green (or convince my mom and sister they want to stay there again hehe evil laugh), or just pay for a 2nd room at the Poly.

That was me..... originally he was going to try and show up on her bday and surprise her at the castle, but now he will be home 5 days before our trip, so he will be flying there with us. Not as much of a surprise factor, but it makes it a little easier to not have to pack for him and take his suitcases with us.... plus we get to see him sooner.... only a little over 3 weeks YAY!

Our family didn't care for SoG. We would stay there again if it were peak time, for $$ reasons only. The Poly is on the monorail. But then since it's so close to trip, what they have available my just be your decision.

OK, this may seem like an odd question but there is a reason - and it's even sewing related. I wanted to see if the Halloween poem "Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat" is familiar to people in various parts of the US (or anywhere Halloween is celebrated).

We know it here in DE, but I never heard the part about Underwear.

This is very cute! I don't think we've ever seen one with the green combo.

 

[SallyfromDE]

Your dresses have come out adorable. That is a sign of a good man .... when he'll help you make your patterns! My Mom used to get my Dad to rip seams out for her.

 

[HeatherSue]

Hi! I'm Shelley..I love looking at all of your beautiful clothes. After reading this thread and buying some other great clothes off of esty I decided to try to teach myself to sew Before Wednesday I think I'd only sewed on a button maybe once so this is all new to me. So here's my second project! My first is a dress but I still need to put on the buttons and am afraid to do button holes This one I was able to do this morning and I was happy with how it turned out. I got it from a tutorial I found here:
http://freshlypicked.blogspot.com/2008/03/pillow-case-dress-tutorial.html

I'm thinking of adding a couple of large yellow buttons at the neckline just to make it a little more Minnie like. What do you think?

Shelley!! That dress is adorable, and so is your daughter!

You know I love it! I also still love your fence. I really want a fence!

OH MY GOSH!!!! I just woke up from a LONG nap and saw this. This is breathtaking! I think I'm going to cry. Emily is going to go wild!!!! I seriously am crying now. (I cry over mcdonalds commercials, sorry..LOL)

How do you DO this so FAST??? I thought I was doing well today getting all my fabrics washed, dried, and pressed and figuring out last night how to make a ruffle on my serger. LOL

You are so talented!!

Julie

You are so sweet! We like mushy around here!

Okay, am I the only one who goes a little psycho when packing? I have been "semi packing" for weeks, I started getting stuff MONTHS ago. AND NOW WE CAN'T FREAKING FIND IT.(

Calm yourself, my dear. Or, as my SIL would say Woo-Sahhhhh...

You're going to have such a great time! I can't wait to hear all about it!

I just have to share my happy happy news!!!! A few weeks ago I posted that DH was going to try to get his 2 weeks leave from Iraq on DD's birthday and surprise her at Disney World...and he said there was a really good chance he would get it. Well a few days ago he called and said he couldn't get it, and that he would be home for leave on Oct 15th (We will be at Disney World Aug 15th). I was pretty bummed, but we started to look at a Disney Cruise or something for when he did get leave, but he said it would definatly be Oct 15th.

He just called, he found someone to trade him and they got it approved.... he will be home August 10th! Which means he will be able to go to Disney World with us!!!!!

I originally planned the trip for when I knew he wouldn't be here, because he said he didn't want to go to Disney World on his leave (something about too hot and too much walking). Well he changed his mind and wanted to go with us so badly. I was starting to feel bad about going without him, so now I am SOOOOOOOO excited he can go!


Now the super planned in me is starting to freak out though.... I need to book him on our flights, try to add him to our ADRs (Which I know probably won't work since we will be going from 4 people to 5.... any suggestions there?) Try to add him to the dessert party, let the VIP tour guide know we have an extra person, and hopefully book a second room at the Poly. I decided to stay at the Poly this year instead of Shades of Green since there was a 40% military discount and since I only had to pay for 1 room instead of 2. The poly at 40% off pretty much equalled what I had been paying every year at Shades of Green for our room and my mom's room. I am not loving the added expense for a 2nd room at the Poly, but I really have my heart set on it now, and DH wants to stay there too.... so I will work it out.

Anyhow just wanted to share my excitment, now I need to get back to planning and sewing...thankfully the flu is letting up some today.

Lone dancing bananas are prohibited. So, I am adding the appropriate amount of dancing bananas for you.
That is definitely 3 dancing banana news!! How exciting!! I'm so happy for you! I can't imagine how hard it must be to not see your husband for such long stretches of time.

Oooh...she's pretty!!
The Curious George outfit is really cute!
LOVE the purse!

DO you know if you can do a word all at the same time, like a name and not have to do each letter individually? I know this might be a dumb question but I am new to the embroidery world.

I'm pretty sure you need some sort of digitizing software to be able to do that.

Sorry about the packing! I pack the weekend before. This time will be interesting since DH thinks the girls are just going to have a carry on. You know those little overnight rolling kid suitcases??? Yaaaa.....like I can fit 20 customs in there : I need plan B and I havent even thought about shoes....ack!!! :[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Like Terea said, you can take pretty big carry-ons anymore! You should check your airline and see how big they can be. Most of them are about the size of the full sized suitcases we have!

the mickey is one of the first hand pieced ones i have done i usually do everything on my embroidery machine

I love the TOT Mickey! That is too cute! Such a neat idea! The Ariel vida is beautiful! We need bigger pictures, though!

Can someone post that you tube video link again of that family on their vacation lip syncing to that song? I tried the search function but can't find it.

I know Teresa already posted it, but I love it so much I'm posting it again:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLOJ9HMkgAE

If you don't
I don't care
I'll pull down your underwear!

I kept singing that part in my head, too!

WOW!!!! WOW!!! These are all so fabulous!!! I absolutely love them!! That Simply Sweet pattern is so versatile, it's my absolute favorite!

 

[mommyof3princess]

Don't don't know how to do both. I simply cannot sew and be on the boards at the same time. And it always seems on days I have zero sewing to do the thread goes by slllllllllllllllllllllllllow. But when I am sewing fora few days I come back to 30 pages. Arg. I love all the wonderful things you all have been making. I lurk and see the late at night honest.

Marah have a great trip mama text me losts of pictures.

I made this outfit for my BF's dd5 Austyn's first day of first grade. I did get her mommys permission to be on here isn't she cute?

Because Austyn was getting her picture the my girls had to get in on the photo shoot. Thank you for letting me share.
To all my dis friends I hope you all have a wonderful day.

 

[mirandag819]

Our family didn't care for SoG. We would stay there again if it were peak time, for $$ reasons only. The Poly is on the monorail. But then since it's so close to trip, what they have available my just be your decision.



We know it here in DE, but I never heard the part about Underwear.



This is very cute! I don't think we've ever seen one with the green combo.

You didn't like SoG? We have stayed there a couple times and really liked it. The price is great, rooms are big and I found it quiet and relaxing after a long loud day in the parks. We get a rental car when we stay there and drive to AK and HS, DTD and waterparks..... but we walk to the Poly for the monorail for MK and EP. It wouldn't be the end of the world for us to stay there instead..... but I was looking forward to trying the Poly (which we might still do.... but I am having a tough time deciding). We are spending a ton on 2 VIP tour days so part of me wants to save some money on the room.... I can get 2 rooms and a rental car at SoG for the amount I am paying at the Poly. The big thing that is holding me back though is I wouldn't be able to do the in room Mickey and Gang birthday celebration thing from Disney Florist for Taylor's birthday since they can't enter SoG rooms.

 

[my*2*angels]

hello Everyone,
Well I'm new to DisBoutique..
I used to sew for a living had my own online Kids boutique ( i'll show you photo's of my old outfits later), But any way I Got burned out I had stopped Sewing over 2 years ago, Packed away my SM & Gave all my Fabric away ( i'm kicking myself that doing that) Because last week I was bitten By the sewing bug again...

We have an up coming trip to disney world.. so i started planning outfits...

Here's Alexis' Animal kingdom Outfit....

Its Pretty Much Done !!! I just need to do the Top stiched on the ruffle.
Then its finished... Woo Hoo ...
Here is Alexis dancing around in it !! I'm very pleased at how it came out..

WELCOME! This is just sooo cute! LOVE IT!

Well ladies, it's my last posting before we leave! We are going to head out tomorrow and stay at a hotel by the airport since our flight leaves so early Monday morning. I have to say thanks again to so many of you who helped out to make this trip super special!!!

Y'all take care of each other, now! If anything comes up I need to know about, Melissa (mommyof3princess) knows how to text me! Maybe I can even get her to post a pic or two for me (hmm...how will I get the Phin and Ferb heads on the babies if I use my cellphone cam?...)

Love ya!
Marah

I hope you have a FABULOUS trip!

Yay! I got thress things finished last night. I just love how fast the Simply Sweet goes together!

Here's my version of a Belle sundress

Tinkerbell w/ circle skirt (sorry for the doggy nose)

And the finished Philharmagic Vida (with added accessory of Daisy,we found her at the Disney outlet yesterday!)

NOw I have 2.5 weeks to go and have my shirts to finish and I think I will attempt the Feliz since I got my hubby to make my pattern pieces for it last night.

Love them all!

Don't don't know how to do both. I simply cannot sew and be on the boards at the same time. And it always seems on days I have zero sewing to do the thread goes by slllllllllllllllllllllllllow. But when I am sewing fora few days I come back to 30 pages. Arg. I love all the wonderful things you all have been making. I lurk and see the late at night honest.

Marah have a great trip mama text me losts of pictures.

I made this outfit for my BF's dd5 Austyn's first day of first grade. I did get her mommys permission to be on here isn't she cute?

Because Austyn was getting her picture the my girls had to get in on the photo shoot. Thank you for letting me share.
To all my dis friends I hope you all have a wonderful day.

That is so cute! and Yes she is adorable! I love the pic of them all together!

Since the multi quote RARELY works for me (If I miss your question please let me know)

The Purple dress is a calico with tiny little dark purple flowers and shimmery purple hem and sash.


Heathersue-yes she is looking older-PLEASE tell her to stop!!!!!

The AG mouse ears were not intended for AG they are for the stuffed animals you can buy and put in a purse. They ahve them at Toontown and WOD in DTD. They are 6.95. They also sell a plain black pair.

The AG crocs are from Joanns. They are from the Springfield collection and come in 3 colors (we own two LOL) Black, blue and hot pink. They sell for 3.99 and you can use a 40-50% off coupon for them

I had no idea joann's sold stuff like this. I've never seen them in any of the stores I go to. I wonder if I'm looking in the wrong spot

I was inspired by Steph to clean up my sewing area. I was also pushed in that direction by the little one arriving in November. My sewing area was in the room that will be the baby's so I had to move it.

We have a room over our garage that is oddly shaped with sloping roof lines. You can see the roof lines here (this picture is from Winter 2007/2008 when the house was still under construction):

So my space was limited because we also use the room as an office. Here is what I came up with:

My fabric stash is pitiful compared to some but I really haven't sewn much lately and am trying to cut down on unnecessary purchases (DH sees fabric which will sit on a shelf as unnecessary).

I love your house! I also love your fabric stash. I have so much scrapbook stuff, I don't have room for much fabric. I think my dh will throw me out if I amass a huge fabric collection along with all of this paper.

I remember seeing something about a Disboutique meet. When is that?

Thanks for all the compliments on Gracie's sets. I love finding them for her and can't wait for the trip. Anyone else going to be there September 10-15? I'm going to be there Sept. 12 -20th! I will definitely notice your dd if I see you.

Here's the Cinderella Vida I've been working on for Hayleigh. She'll wear this in August to our CRT lunch. Although she was telling me about the prince dancing with her and we're not eating at 1900 PF for dinner this trip I like that she's so smart but when she remembers all the places to eat at WDW she doesn't realize we can't eat at them all every trip. We're trying some different places this trip.

I have another Vida I want to finish (the applique is done) and a simply sweet Belle dress. I also want to try to get a minnie red dot precious dress done, but don't know if that will happen, the first precious dress took me awhile. And if I work really fast I want to try to do a feliz.....

I'm impressed that she remembers all of the places to eat. That makes it seem all worth it, doesn't it? I love the outfit too, especially the slipper.

I finally finished the outfit I started back in the spring.. I needed it done so I can start on Disney outfits! So, here is my little ham posing her heart out.

Twirling in the dead grass (we get no rain anymore)

And showing off her mario kart wii

Once I started sewing it went pretty quick. I learned some new things with this one

That is gorgeous! I love the fabrics.

I have that pattern and really like it. I used it for a TInk dress for my DD.

Shameless reposting follows.....

I didn't see that the first time, so I'm glad you reposted. I think that pattern is adorable.

I'm only to page 175 and I need to clean the house. darn. I am going to k-mart later today to look for character pillowcases. I love all of the dresses everyone posted using them, even if I didn't comment.

You didn't like SoG? We have stayed there a couple times and really liked it. The price is great, rooms are big and I found it quiet and relaxing after a long loud day in the parks. We get a rental car when we stay there and drive to AK and HS, DTD and waterparks..... but we walk to the Poly for the monorail for MK and EP. It wouldn't be the end of the world for us to stay there instead..... but I was looking forward to trying the Poly (which we might still do.... but I am having a tough time deciding). We are spending a ton on 2 VIP tour days so part of me wants to save some money on the room.... I can get 2 rooms and a rental car at SoG for the amount I am paying at the Poly. The big thing that is holding me back though is I wouldn't be able to do the in room Mickey and Gang birthday celebration thing from Disney Florist for Taylor's birthday since they can't enter SoG rooms.

No, we thought it was so bland looking. It just didn't appeal to any of us. We had to walk a mile just to get to our rooms. And the food was lousy. We ended up doing alot of meals elsewhere because we didn't care for it. It was just alright. We stayed at Easter, and the brought in old Disney buses which were nasty. The seats were all torn with stuffing coming out. I was afraid to sit down.

My sister and her military hubby just stayed at Poly with the discount and used the free pass he got, and her ticket was $99 I think. They had a great time and loved the resort. She said they would have even preferred to stay at a value then go back to Shades.

Let us know how the plans go.

A few boards back, I remember a bunch of sewers looking at the food on YCMT. I came across this on Etsy and it was so cute I had to show you.

And for the group that likes to make the crayon rollups. I found this tutorial for Crayon Wallets. Kirsta used to like to take a pad of paper and color when she was much smaller.
