Hi everyone! Hope you are having a good weekend!

OH my this is so beautiful! I too have never seen the movie, but your chacters look amazing!!!!!!

Here is an Alice in Wonderland Vida that I made for a friends grandaughter it is hand pieced and this is only the 2nd one i have done hand pieced there are a few flaws but tell me what you think I don't like her eyes

It look great!

Hi Ladies (and Tom)
I have absolutely nothing useful to say, but wanted to celebrate my 2000 post and have a wee party w/ y'all
sorry to interrupt, you can go back to your regularly scheduled thread now.

Yeah! I am celebrating with you

Lisa Zoe, Wow, all by hand, you are truly blessed and your work is amazing!

 

[princessmom29]

For those that asked, the black and white fabric on my NBC set in from the ironworks line by Michael Miller. I spent a while online trying to find it. Several shops sell it, but at the time most were out of stock. It has been a couple months and i don't remember where i finally found some. I would suggest a google searh.

Lisa- My DD is dying over that dress. I get "why can't you do that mommy?" I told her that you are an artist and mommy is just not that talented. Seriously, that dress it totally amazing, you really are a true artist!!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

This is my attempt at a silvermist costume. I can't finish it until my dd comes home, because I want to put a zipper in the top and want her to try it on. I'm also going to put a ruffle on the hem of the top.

Does anyone else's pet become completely fascinated by whatever you are working on? It drives me nuts. Of all the places he could sit in the house, he has to pick whatever I'm working on.

This is my Minnie Dot dress for Chef Mickeys. Unfortunately, I didn't really decide to go to Chef Mickey's until I saw all of the cute things you were making here. I didn't make reservations when I could and now they are booked. I've been calling back every day to check for a cancellation opening. Oh well, at least I have the dress.

I just love the silver mist outfit. It is beautiful and I would just leave it. What kind of fabric is that? We have Chef Mickeys but are going in our MNSSHP costumes. Lucky me, no sewing for that meal.

 

[aksunshine]

Thanks everyone!

Nikki- I had been holding the HSM for over a year trying to figure out what to do with it!

Well, I'm back and I haven't melted - although I wouldn't mind a little (OK a lot) of selective melting in certain areas. LOL It's only in the 90s today and it's been cooling off at night so I'm able to get more work done. I'll tell you, trying to get appliques ready in the heat we had was not fun. Between the fly-away fusible pieces because of the fans and the added heat of being over an iron, I was only able to work for short periods at a time.

Anyway, I'm going to try to get caught up over the next few days if I can. I found that sitting in front of the PC wasn't practical in the heat, either, because each piece of equipment seems to put off heat. I didn't understand why I was sweating so much more when I'd sit at the PC but then eventually realized it's probably a few degrees hotter than the rest of the room.

I did get one dress done this week. I'd hoped to get a lot more finished (i.e. a Tink Halloween Vida) but I'm glad at least this is now in the mail.

BTW - I have to admit that I'm not that familiar with this movie or the characters. I don't think I've even seen the movie aside from some clips here and there. I know who they are but I really struggled trying to get them to look right and selecting the fabric/colors for the applique. Luckily I had help on them. Sally's dress was especially hard to get right. I tried looking online for pictures but the colors varied a lot from one to another. In the end, I really like the results but I'll definitely be thinking of what I might do differently if I do them again.

Absolutely STUNNING! I love the striped fabric on bottom and the swirly fabric on one of the back ruffles. Would you mind sharing any info you have about those? I would love to have them for my stash.
TIA!!!!

If anyone has an idea on what I could have done to make the silver mist costume better, I'd be more than happy to hear it. I've learned so much on this board. Constructive criticism wont hurt my feelings at all.

I also don't understand why my pictures upload to photobucket so big. If someone would like to tell me how to change that, I will.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Silvermist! My niece just requested a Silvermist costume, but I cannot seem to find a pattern that looks "right". Did you use a pattern or just invent it in your brain? Thanks for any insight!

 

[Stephres]

Ugh, I am so far behind. I found my treasurer! She has been sick and trying to figure out what's wrong.

Lisa, that feliz is so cool. Such a big canvas for all those characters.

Alicia, Isabelle looks so pretty lately with her missing teeth and her hair seems lighter too. You are going to have to beat the boys off with a stick with that one. Your sewing looks great too, for you and her!

Inkspress, your Silvermist looks so beautiful. My dog is always around when I am sewing too. When I am on the floor he is right in the middle of everything, if I am at the machine his is nosing me in the ankles. I really can't see a way to improve that costume, except to see it on! Megan likes to wear her minnie dot outfit to the magic kingdom.

Sheridee, love your Alice vida! I think it is so detailed. Alice's eyes look ok to me.

I finally got pictures of Megan in her vida. She wore it to church today. It's so funny, half the kids are in shorts and t-shirts and the other are in dresses and bows!

That is gorgeous! You did a great job capturing the spirit of the characters. I think they look exactly like the characters in the movie. My Daughter laughed and giggled at the side with the kids. She called them the Naughty children! It is an amazing work of art in fabric.

I am also glad to hear your weather is improving! It was so odd to hear that it was hotter in the Pacific Northwest than it was here in Atlanta!

So, I haven't shared anything in a while, but getting the FD discount motivated me to start sweing for our November trip.
Here is my NBC (using heather's applique) both with and without our "small petti"

And tink (again heather's applique) using the emma top and easy fit pants from YCMT. We will put a tee under this one, just haven't found the right one yet.

I can't say enough about how much I LOVE heather's appliques. Sooooo much easier than some others I have tried!

I love both of these! How big is Jack? Is he 6 x 10? The skirt is really cute with that. Tinkerbell stitched out really nicely, I love her sparkly wings!

I must have cooties or need a shower

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a good weekend!

Here is what I worked on today:

Cute! It looks like she loves it! Did you add anything to the Pirate skirt?

Ok - it's that time! I'm signing off of the Dis until we return from our trip. I believe we're taking a computer - but I'm going to do my best not to be online while we're on vacation. Have fun! Create lots of great stuff! I'll see you in a few weeks!

Have a good time!

HELP & ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE...

Ok, so I'm putting together the applique for my daughter's tiki room outfit and I need to know if I'm being too ambitious. I've not done any machine embroidery yet - so I'll be learning how to do it myself before I attempt this design. I have an embroidery machine, but I can't digitize, plus my machine only does 4x4 and I want bigger than that.

I was initially trying to replicate the anniversary tshirt print shown here:

So I've used photoshop to draw out the parts of the shirt since I'm not sure how else to get all the pieces.

Is this too ambitious for someone who doesn't yet know how to applique? I know it needs more too - some green behind it to make a background or something like that.

Here it is:

Thoughts? Help? THANK YOU!

Good Luck! I think you can do it. The letters will be the hardest part.

Great Job on the Silvermist costume. I can't wait to see her wearing it. I really like the Chef Mickey dress. I love the character's faces on the apron. Keep trying for that reservation, even after you get to the resort. They have cancellations all the time.

Here is an Alice in Wonderland Vida that I made for a friends grandaughter it is hand pieced and this is only the 2nd one i have done hand pieced there are a few flaws but tell me what you think I don't like her eyes

Great job! I think it is beautiful.

I finally got pictures of Megan in her vida. She wore it to church today. It's so funny, half the kids are in shorts and t-shirts and the other are in dresses and bows!

Megan looks so great in her Vida! I adore how it turned out!

Thanks!

And I forgot to say thanks to all who commented on the Bambi outfit. I bought the book on and sewed all the panels together for the skirt.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Friends,
I need to know if this is a good price. I found a Brother Innovis 4000D embroidery machine for $1800. It is new and can be shipped. Is it a good deal? I would being paying using paypal to be safe.'

Happy Birthday Moonk's Mom!

Great job! I think it is beautiful.

The jack is 5x7. My DD is LITTLE!! That tee is a very fitted size 6. She is almost six and I am still buying mostly 5's for her. Lucky for me, it makes the appliques look bigger! She can still wear a 5t swimsuit if it is a 2 piece.

Ireally love that sparkly fabric. i got it at joann. They had the white and green I used for tink, plus a few others.

 

[Tweevil]

Well....this is a bit OT but I am hoping someone can help me with ideas....

A lady at work asked me if I could come up with some ideas that her group of band boosters can make to sell at the band competition/games. Now, I have NO idea what that means - I haven't been to a High School band anything for 20 years and then it was because my sister was in the color guard (I didn't make the cut.. ) She asked me to help because I am "crafty" - don'tcha love when people say that? Yep I am crafty because I am a witch and want to poof you. LOL - just kidding.

Anyhoo... I said maybe fleece scarves, pennants, water bottle holders, and stuff like that. I am trying to digitize the chenille M for emb but am failing miserably - did I mention I am so new to this (like 1 month new) and I have no clue. I love a challenge but I am not sure what to do.

I am trying a fleece scarf today - can't be that tough right?? I am going online to look for a freebie bottle pattern. But other than that I am not sure.

So, what do they sell at booster tables for the games? Anybody know??
Anyone have any ideas of quick, cheap, and fun items that could be made by little 'ol me with no sewing skills? Heck, I am even willing to turn to glue and fun foam if I have to

Thanks so much you guys for your help, I am finding that this is my fav thread on here

 

[xdanielleax]

Hey Theresa. I have a question. I was wondering where you got the aqua fabric for the Giselle dresses you make? We might go to MNSSHP and I think I would like to dress as her Thanks!

 

[Tweevil]

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a good weekend!

Here is what I worked on today:

Wow, I LOVE this - so cute!!!

Oh my Maude!! Can you make me one size 24? Gorgeous! I love NBC. How do you do that???

So, I haven't shared anything in a while, but getting the FD discount motivated me to start sweing for our November trip.

I can't say enough about how much I LOVE heather's appliques. Sooooo much easier than some others I have tried!

I heart Heather's Appliques too~! I must have missed the NBC one. I really like how you did the sparkly fabric for her wings.

Heather - can you do a subscription on your shop? So it emails me when you add stuff?

Here is an Alice in Wonderland Vida that I made for a friends grandaughter it is hand pieced and this is only the 2nd one i have done hand pieced there are a few flaws but tell me what you think I don't like her eyes

Wow... hand pieced, 2nd one you made? This is fabulous!

I finally got pictures of Megan in her vida. She wore it to church today. It's so funny, half the kids are in shorts and t-shirts and the other are in dresses and bows!

So pretty!

 

[mom2rtk]

I'm in and out of this thread a lot, depending on my work load. So I might have missed this: Many of you picture your customs over VERY poofy petticoat slips. I made a cute Minnie costume for my daughter last year, and bought a new short petticoat slip on Ebay but it just wasn't poofy enough....

Thanks for your help! You guys were great last week helping hunt down Mary Poppins boots. I found some for a customer, but still none in size 2 or 3..... I did call Wooden Soldier, but those were too small too.

Many thanks again to all!

Alicia, Isabelle looks so pretty lately with her missing teeth and her hair seems lighter too. You are going to have to beat the boys off with a stick with that one. Your sewing looks great too, for you and her!

Thanks Steph! Her top two are FINALLY cutting!
Megan is so cute! I love that snow white!

Happy Birthday Moonk's Mom!



Cute! It looks like she loves it! Did you add anything to the Pirate skirt?

.

Thanks!
Yes I did actually! I added an applique of the heart with crossbones under it. I used the heart and crossbone fabric for heart and hot pink dot for bones. The crossbones were nearly impossibe to applique! I'm not very good at it!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOONK"S MOM!!!!

 

[LisaZoe]

It's been awhile but I finally have something to share.

Those are really cute.

Introducing Evangeline!

She is adorable and the dress is too cute.

That is great!

Even though we have no trip planned, I made this with Chef Mickey's in mind It's still not finished - need to add the cherry to the cupcake and get better pictures!

Great job! Seeing all the cute dress and apron designs, I really want to try one soon.

These next two were on Valentine's Day:

I love the colors of this.

My favorite of the trip - the Minnie Dress

That is darling!

Melissa you know I think your stuff rocks!!!!

Um, so yeah, I just realized ....

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY PHINEAS AND FERB ARE MINE!

Okay, well, I have share them with The Husband and the girls...but

MINE MINE MINE

I'll join you in the 'banana congo line'.

Gracie's zoo smocked dress (Analise by Portobello Pixie - my 2nd place win in the Sewing for Children contest at PR):

All of your creations are great but I especially love the smocked dresses. I took an online smocking lesson and decided to admire it from afar. LOL I just don't have the patience for all the handwork.

 

[aksunshine]

Thanks Tweevil! I tend to make up patterns! LOL!
