[aimeeg]

You go to WDW for a week and come back with 68 pages to read! LOL

I finished it all and will have some pics to post tomorrow.

I do, but the step is optional for the between each patch. I would def do the horizontal (it makes a big difference in how it lays).

Cpuld someone show me a close up picture of top stiching on a patchwork? I have made several and have not done this and I am wondering exactly what you mean. Thanks!

Oh Marah, did you not make it to the dessert party? I have been waiting for the part in your SSTR....why didn't you go?

No, let's just say there was screaming, sobbing, and swearing...so Lizzie and I took off for a while!


Okay here are some Christmas Princesses I've found (I'm counting Alice!).

Midday Parade:

Alice gets a scarf and mistletoe

(Other than the star in her hair, Ariel looks the same )

Cindy has her little coat:

The mistletoe in the hair is all I find different:

Fairygodmother (Just mistletoe)

Belle's Red Dress:

Storytime Belle:

I wish I could talk Hannah into this, but I fear she'll be too "old":

Minnie and mickey:

Christmas Pooh!

Christmas Lilo and Stitch!

I threw this in, because I didn't realize before I had NO idea what shoes the Fairy Godmother wore!

These are both adorable! I love the black/red/yellow floral fabric on that Build-a-bear Vida!

I bought that as a fat quarter from JoAnns and wish I could find more.

You know what we all need....a Behind the Scene tour of Disney's costuming dept....I could spend hours looking through all the costumes and versions and watch the seamstresses creating them....Big Bucks I'd pay to go on that tour.

Now that would be an amazing tour! I've often thought it would be fun to work in a costuming dept.

Me too! I would love to take a tour. Everytime we go by there in the BLT, it always goes so fast, I just wnat to scream stop so I can get a good look.

Hey guys. I am sooo far behind, but was just stopping in to say hi.
I have been feeling horrible lately due to medications I am taking and my neck hurting, so I haven't felt like sitting up at the computer. I have a neck injury from falling down my stairs a few months back. For some reason it got worse in the past few days. Why'd it have to wait until I don't have insurance for a month?? Ya... I don't know. Thanks for all the well wishes about my medication getting paid for. I was able to get the doctor to get a voucher for a free 30 day trial!
Now I don't have to pay 420 dollars for it.

I did finish my Emma by ModKids top, but my camera won't work so I can't take pictures of it.

If anyone needs to contact me you can email me. I check it often because it is the only way I can communicate with my DH for the 14 days he is offshore.

Lisa- Love your Daisy dress. I've decided I want to try a big applique like that soon. I keep wanting to make the pattern I have that I think the swing top pattern is similar too, but haven't got around to it.
Here's what it looks like in case you are interested. I didn't make this.

The back looks pretty much the same. I figure it can be appliqued on the front and the back. If I could find the pattern I'd make it quicker. Can't find the danged thing.

Ok, any ideas on how to make a Dory Costume?

I found the cutest Nemo costume for little Attikus. I will take pictures and post later. I would love to have the 3yr old be Dory. Of course Squirt would be cute too. I have no idea on what to ahve the girls be.

McCalls or one of the big pattern companies has a fish costume pattern. Have you seen that one? I think it would work.

I haven't seen that one. I will need to go look.

There is that one. I'm pretty sure they came out with another one in the past few years though. That one is OOP. It is available on ebay though. Going for quite a bit though.
I think I have that in my pattern stash, but am not sure.

This is a bit of a drive by post.....Its been a busy summer and I miss sewing and my DIS friends
This is the first thing I have made in months....

Tomorrow DS has his last speech therapy appointment and its for his therapist. The front edge looks a bit wonkey in the pic, I hope its not as noticeable in person.

Last is the tote I made for Kirsta to carry her junk in. I didn't realize how big it was when made it:

It was one of the best trips I've had in years. I can't wait to go again!!

Love all the outfits and the BAG is Wonderful!!!! Great Job!
I hope to get caught up on the older posts and see all the amazing things you all are making. You always inspire me.

I just bought that - here is a link....
Stink - I just went to get the link and they are sold out! It is a Marcus Brothers fabric - in the "come quit with me" line by Pat Yamin

I finished this dress last week, but was having trouble uploading to Photobucket. It has a zippered back-my first zipper!

Now I'm working on Halloween Dresses.

 

[emcreative]

So I found this and got all excited that maybe it was the elusive picture.

Daytime parade? check
Blue and white? check



But, it's a Christmas parade from Disneyland in 2007, and it doesn't look like the same blue fabric at the bottom, so I guess it's up to you how much faith you have in the pic?

 

[bclydia]

Christine, these are great!! I love that fabric! Fabricland?
Becky is so grown up looking. She really needs to stop that! I love that she'll match Nicole! She's such a great big sister.

And, the test was NEGATIVE so we're safe!

Sorry to hear that you won't be changing the name to the spectacular six.

 

[emcreative]

Here's the right dress, and the back...and a pole down the middle. But it sure looks to me like there aren't any "tails" off the bow.

 

[VBAndrea]

okay i have to go to bed and i havent read page 142 yet, but Andrea THAT is one funny lawn mowing story!!!
Is your DH a techie by any chance? I wonder if its in their blood? LOL
DH isnt quite that bad. But very similar. Too funny

My dh has a BS and MS in organic chemistry. He is also a Nuclear Engineer. I call it Geekie, but he really does come in handy as he can fix almost anything. The key words being he *can* fix almost anyhting -- it doesn't mean he actual does it. In all fairness, my dh is an XO (Executive Office) on a ship right now and generally goes into work at 4:30am and comes home around 8pm. It's not always been that way though. Last fall he had two months off and all he really managed to do was tile our foyer, kitchen, hall and downstairs bath and I'm still waiting for him to finish strips where the carpet meets the tile. He needs lots of encouragement (i.e. kicks in the butt).

Another start to another week at work. But in 1 month and 11 days we will be going to Disney.

I did start to see a counselor about having my TBI and I think it may help in the end. Other than that, everything being posted is lovely and wishing my friends well.

First...TBI? The only time I have heard that in a medical situation is Traumatic Brain Injury...

Second...I know several of you make bags, both Tote Bags and Handbags. I've been looking at YCMT and am having trouble deciding which one to start with...(after Disney of course!) Does anyone have a favorite, suggestions or warnings?

I'm really bad about purchasing patterns and never using them. The amount of time between Disney and Christmas (less than 3 months) is going to put a crimp in my sewing/quilting time (I've got 3 quilts that absolutely have to be finished ) so I don't want to waste my time with a pattern that I won't even use.

Thanks in advance!


Third...do some of you EVER sleep?

[Indiana Rose Lee]

I just barely sew, and have a bunch of older boys, but I had to say that you all make such nice things! If I had a little girl, I'd go crazy trying to figure out those outfits. I love the castle bag!

I was looking at the Aurora outfit (not the princess one) and wondering if that is sold anywhere? Is it ok to ask that??

I love the bag it is really pretty.

Congratulations on your first zipper. They can be so frustrating
