[stephie1012]

hi! popping in here, i lurk and am in awe of your amazing skills!
I can make somethings but not much, i dont like patterns lol. Anyway i was wondering what you make for the kids to wear to DHS that isnt to complicated for me lol. I also couldnt figure out what DS could wear to Epcot, im thinking nemo maybe idk...DD is wearing a princess skirt.

Im going to attempt a twirly strip skiry for dd we shall see how that works lol

Someone one, or two, posted pics of a Phineas dress they made out of a tshirt. I got the shirt today because DD is in love with that show and is so esited that another girl loves it too. How did you finish it off as a dress? I have never worked with knits before. Did you use a knit or just a cotton material? I keep adding projects to a list that doesn't seem to get any shorter! I did finish the vida alice dress which I hope to post tomorrow as we have not had the best weather to photgraph in!

Mommies...if anyone is bored and could take a minute to offer some advice unrelated to sewing....I updated my PTR with a bizarre incident that happened with Aisling last night. Just wanted to get people's thoughts. I know that the majority of you are not medical professionals but want "mommy advice"

I answered on your TR. I had the same thing happen to me as a kid...

You could always applique the "Hat" onto a tshirt for DHS and the "ball" for Epcot if you wanted something really simple

Last year my DD wore an Ariel Sundress to DHS. Another Disboutiquer made it so it wasn't complicated at all for me

She wore a sundress for Epcot as well...I made this one but it was super easy!

They'll start a support group for children of Disboutiquers!!!

Start? I thought I saw minutes from the last meeting

What about us parents of the "odd" child? Morgan is running around the house in a princess spinny yelling "tour guide Morgan"

We didn't do a Chef outfit either...just a Minnie Sundress

Cute!!!!

I haven't done a 'chef' either for CM's but a stripwork twirl skirt and applique tank, haven't had time to post any pics yet because I'm still sewing and we leave on Thursday but hopefully, all of DD's outfits will be completed by the weekend and I will post them then.

Revrob, thanks again for your help with the instructions you sent me,, just to let you know I will definitely be posting the pics of that particular skirt too

Umm, my kids can join the odd crowd...they've still be droning "ZOMBIEEEES on the MONORAAAAIL!!!"

*They know nothing about the monorail accident, I just realized that may come off as insensitive. It was something family related from our last trip.

Hi, ladies!

A fellow sewing mom on Pattern Review mentioned this board and I decided to check it out and join. I wanted to introduce myself! I'm a mom of four boys (Matthew will be 9 on 9/27, Jamie is 7, and Benjamin is 4) and one girl (Princess Gracie is two!). I just took my kids to Disneyland while I was in CA for a convention. We only had two days, but it was wonderful. I probably won't get to take them to Disney for awhile as we are purposing to pay off all of our debts before we do anything else travelwise. I want to share some of the Disney outfits I've made once I have enough posts to add images. (If you are a Pattern Review member, I'm Sandi S there as well.)

I look forward to meeting y'all and seeing what you create!

Does anyone have any cute chef mickey's outfits to share? I need some ideas but please be aware that I don't have an embroidery machine so everything will have to be done by hand and I still consider myself a beginner. I'm just looking for a little inspiration.

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!

Oh my Gosh! that apron fabric is gorgeous, I would love to get some of that!
The outfit and your little girl are beautiful too!

This is a darling outfit!

Odd? Nothin' odd about that! In fact I think I should hire Morgan to be our tour guide the next time we go to DW!

Did someone say Minnie Dot at Chef Mickey's???

These next two were on Valentine's Day:

So far today my girls have . . .

Made fast passes out of construction paper.

DD5 is wearing her Mouseketeer badge. (My DH made it at work. It looks like a badge to swipe into buildings but has her picture and the MMC logo.)

Finally my DD5 tried to convince my DD3 that just because she had on a Tink outfit does not mean she could fly. . . . "You need pixie dust before you can fly! Silly!!! "

Do you think they are excited for Monday?

Hello all I am going to try and catch up on the boards today. I have been sewing for my nephew's birthday. I made my first bowling shirt this week. Let me just say how wonderful the pattern is Carla. I thought I would never be able to make one. I have had the pattern since feb. And I just used it this week. I was a little scared by it. But know I cannot wait to make another one. I made him some jean shorts and my DH worked with me and painted the images on the piece of fabric I used to make it look like a map when he started it was just a brown piece of fabric.
My model is twin B Sammie.

Front.

Back.

Close up of back.

Pirate ship under shirt.

Pirate map shorts.

Map close up.

Skulls close up.

And this is what I wrapped it in. I thought it brought the whole pirate theme together.
thank you for looking.

Here is a skirt I made for AK for Nikki.

No model she was too busy playing with her brother. I will get her to model it when the shirt is done

My dd would love this! Hot pink and animal prints two of her favorite things.

We didn't do a Chef outfit either...just a Minnie Sundress

Great minds!!!!

I'm sure I must have CASED you great minds!

Great minds do think alike! I bought the red and white minnie dot to make my first non-pillowcase dress and it will probably be for the mommy and me trip I think DD and I are going to take.

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!

Love that apron material! Too cute!

Can anyone let me know if the SuperSecretTripReport sends out notice when I update?

This may already have been answered, but I've not received any notifications of updates.

So I don't post very often since I just started to sew (thanks to you all) but I follow along all of the time (unless you are being super chatty then I miss a few pages).

A few random things/questions for today. . .

I went to JoAnn's at lunch and they had certain Disney fabriques (I think that is what they are called - they are basically already made appliques that just have to be attached). Anyway, my Joann's had Minnie and for those with boys or anyone - Mater and the police car from cars on sale for $3.97 each.

I am about to try my hand at my first non-pillowcase sewing and need some advice on what would be an easy first dress/skirt. I bought several Carla C patterns - would one of those be a good choice or something else? Please remember I have zero sewing skills and zero knowledge of sewing terms. Though I have to say thanks to Jeanne's directions, my pillowcase dress turned out great!

So speaking of my zero sewing knowledge some of Carla's patterns call for an underlining material to be used - I bought white muslin - is that a good choice for that and is the underlining even really necessary? I am so clueless about all of this stuff - anyone want to come visit the Harrisburg, PA area and give me some sewing lessons ?

One more thing - my mother-in-law gave me her Bernina (I think it is a 1010) sewing machine. Is that a good one for me to be using or as a beginner should I have a more basic/newer machine?

Thanks!
