Sorry, my photo skills aren't the best, and the appliques don't show up the best. they are the lego star wars, and are much cuter in person!

Love the fairy dress!!!
 
The Baby's name is Emery Kathryn. They are going to call her emi. I haven't heard anything more, I am sure they are waiting til morning to call everyone.
You're up late Heather what are you up to?
That's a pretty name! Congratulations Aunt Anna!
I was planning on digitizing, but got distracted! :lmao:

I haven't been on much, because a friend of our family (I took care of their kids for many years) died on Saturday. He fought stage 4 colorectal cancer for the past year and a half. We went to the funeral today and yesterday (Monday) was visitation at their house. They released 51 balloons on monday, one for each year of his life. It was really beautiful. I posted pics on Facebook. i feel so bad for the family.
:hug: I love you!

Hello all of you talented ladies!

I am VERY new to sewing... but I had a quick question.

I'm looking at purchasing an embroidery machine and wondered what you all thought of the Brother SE530 machine? Do any of you have it? Do you like it? Would you recommend a different machine?

Thanks for your input and I've been learning a TON just by reading through your posts. I hope someday I'm able to sew as well as you guys...
I haven't tried that machine. But, I wanted to say :welcome:!!! I also wanted to agree with Ireland_Nicole. You really need at least a 5x7 hoop to be happy! :thumbsup2

Hi Everyone,
We are at the all star music family suites, having a great time, free dining is great but soooo much food, we have 4 days left and 30 counter service meals and 42 snacks and 24 table service meals left, and we are all so full. But the food is so good, Nicole my 6 year old has gotten a lot of special attention with her custom clothes, we even met JUJU(insert numbers) on our first day in line for Autopia, she recognized Nicole fand the dress from the boards. I made Nicole a denim and red checked dress for Hoop de doo and she got chosen to go up on stage to be in the finale and she was so cute:lovestruc She got to blow the whistle on the boat to Magic Kingdom cause the pilot liked her dress too. It has been a lot of fun. The crowds have not been too bad, it feels crowded but the line ups aren't too long, we have walked onto TSM 2 mornings after rope drop even though the wait time said 40 minutes. It is very hot and humid, and we have had some great thunder storms and heavy rain (but only on days when I DON'T bring the ponchos, good thing we are used to the rain).
On our way to O'hana for breakfast now, be home on Tuesday.
I love live updates from the World! It sounds like you're having a great time. I can't wait to see pictures!

C

Don't tempt me; I was a music major... I wonder if I could use lollipop stick me's and kind of puppet it (trust me, ya don't want to see my pic on you tube!:rotfl2:)
Now I'm really intrigued! I must see your puppet rendition of "I want it now"!
 
Thanks for the comments on the tie dye shirts. :love: The resist is a product by Tulip that I found at Michaels in the tie dye section. It does what it's name implies and resists dye in the section that it is painted. The eeyore stencil I made by finding a jpeg that I liked online and took it into photoshop and tweeked it. I then cut it out on my cricut. OH CRICUT QUEEN WHERE ARE YOU? :lmao: The tink was on one of my cricut cartridges. I cut out the stencil on vinyl and stuck the vinyl to the shirt. Painted my resist on. Waited for it to try completely. Took the stencil off and proceeded to tie dye. I layed the shirts flat to dye because I didn't know if it would mess up the resist or not if I swirled or crumpled the shirt up. I think they turned out pretty good for my first attempt. If I do another one like my eeyore, I'll dye it in a tub so that the color is consistant. And if I did the tink again I'd put a darker color in the middle so you could see tink better. I'll definately be doing more shirts!!
 
Hehe.. yes. I know some people aren't so picky about their needles. I always switch my needle depending on what fabric I use. I find I get much better results that way.
I think the shirt would be so cute. I made my DD a supersleuth dress with the logo on the top part. I was really surprised that my parents said it wasn't a big hit at DW with the CMs. I guess they don't watch playhouse disney much. :scared1:


OMGOSH@!! I love it!! I wish my DD new what Star Wars was so I could make her a set like this and not feel selfish. Does your DD like SW??


WASH IT!! ;)
Or.. don't wash it, and then one day when your fabric shrinks a couple inches after you sewed it you will realize why we all said to wash it.


Here is a link to a machine applique tutorial.
http://www.designsbyjuju.com/applique.aspx

DD LOVES star wars. We have let her watch the first 3 movies and she watches the clone wars series. I am not ready to let her watch the last 3 b/c she will want to finish them and she is just not ready for episode III.

Thanks everyone for all the kind comments!!! Sorry I have been less than active, but we have a LOT on our plate untill football season is over. I am reading, ad will try to pop in more regulaly!
 


That is just gorgeous.


So cute. Love the large Chip and Dale panel.


OK, who are you and what did you do with the lady who was afraid to sew just a few short weeks ago???

JK, great job Marah.

Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunatly it is a bog standard sewing machine.....i'm working on DH to get me an embroidery machine.

I've had a look at heatherSue's applique tutorial and I had a do at putting a mickey head on a tshirt......it didn't go well.......looks pretty bad...i'm realy a novice to this sewing thing and I don't think I have the skills for this yet.....

thanks

I see others have suggested an Iron On, that is what I was going to say too. I just did some Star Wars ones for my boys, and DH asked for one too.

All very cute, but I love the Lego Star Wars set.



Very cute. I have to make some mickey head tie Dyes this weekend. I wasnt going to for this trip, but my kids are insisting. DS says his old one is a 'belly shirt' on him now, and he NEEEEEEEDS one for this trip.

All the outfits are great! Love the Star Wars, did you do the digitizing?
I actually have something to share for once. :lmao: It's not sewing but it's crafty. :thumbsup2 The girls and I are starting some tie dye projects. Whatcha think????

th_eeyore-1.jpg
Girl, you have some mad skilz! Super idea.
 
Not trying to kill you; and totally respect your need to focus on October; but at the risk of sounding like Veruca Salt, (insert whine) "I want it nnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowww" If I sing you the song, will it help?:rotfl: I'll try very very hard to be patient, but you know I'm sketching the outfits now and I need to know what appliques, etc. I'm working around (already have a park faire design drawn out, and trust me, I'll own part of your vision correction surgery too. LOL)

Oh Gosh, almost there!
I want to see the video and you singing the song, I know it well.
 
Well, I have to say its really creepy outside. Looks like its a cold, windy, wintery overcast day, but its actually over 100 and the smoke from the fires in So Cal have made it look like winter. The helicopters fighting the fires come our way for water (from the miller brewing company:rotfl2:) and they are refueling at a local airport. And the ash is falling. I pray that they can contain and save the homes that are in the way. Oh and the TV transmitters that bring communication to Los Angeles!

And I have some really good news.... my DH finally got tired of me mopping around the house complaining about the heat. I felt bad abandoning my DH to go to San Diego to get out of the heat, but man I am too old for no a/c in this long heat wave. So he called this morning as I was getting ready to load up my sewing stuff heading south and said, DON'T GO!! He bought me an air conditioner!! So now, at least my downstairs is cool!! I have no idea why we didn't do that sooner. I may sleep on the couch tonight!! :banana::banana:

Hope you are safe from the fires. And congrats on the AC>

I finished Hannah's ballet themed outfit! :) We didn't do a "photoshoot" like the other day, just grabbed a few pictures in the back yard. This was that $2 panel I posted up the other day, I just made the outfit up as I went along! It doesn't show up too well in these pictures, but the purple section has small white dots.

Very impressive.

Thank you ~ it was very helpful.:love:
I managed to finish it tonight and I only had to rip it out 5 times:scared1:
But I think it turned out OK:rolleyes1

5 times? Not so bad.
 
FYI..


If there is anyone...like me...who was planning on purchasing this machine from that Home Shopping ...er place...they just announced that after their current supply of 20 machines were gone, they would not be getting them back in this year...also they are offering free shipping this month on all sewing machines...


Really bums me out...I was planning on purchasing after we got back from Disney...Already have hubby talked into it, have my discount codes all set to go.. but won't have the money until after Disney....

I guess it is time to go back to my room and cry again. Then off to try to find my princess dress fabric...again! (I really don't want to have to drive all the way to Atlanta to shop...oh well.

Just wanted to let you know that I bought mine here:

A little cheaper than HSN and it is an authorized Brother dealer plus free shipping.
I ordered it Thursday Aug 20 late in the day and it arrived here Tuesday August 25 in the AM.

OOOOOOHHHHH...I am ALWAYS up to save a hundred dollars!!


Maybe there is hope for me after all... maybe my luck is turning and I can find the fabric today! Only 17 more days!

Yay! I finally made something for our rapidly approaching trip! :banana::banana::banana: It's a little big but hopefully it will fit next year too. I did the pumpkin "by hand" before Heather had hers digitized but she did come out with the cute Boo! design before I stitched up the bodice and it was perfect! :worship: I have Mickey pumpkins cut out to put on black tee shirts for the rest of us. Jayden will probably get a skirt out of the black with orange scroll-type fabric. I need to get busy!

I love the outfits; esp. back to school- so cute! And it's getting exciting- your new addition is almost here!

I got mine from them too and I was very pleased. I got the grand slam package, which cost an extra $149 but I think was totally worth it.

Thank you and I also got the Grand Slam package. I wasn't going to but DH insisted so who was I to argue. Although I will say I do not love the wash-away stabilizer that came with it.

I agree, the stabilizer isn't the best, but I don't use it by itself; I use it as a second layer underneath my hoop when I do t-shirts or other knits. then I just tear away the excess. I think it would have been worth it for the thread alone, though. I haven't tried the extra hoops yet, but I'm planning to do some socks, so I'll have to start soon.
 
We're going back...well I already knew that...but last night we nailed down our dates and our resort. We liked staying at ASMU last year in the suite, but I decided that we could stay at POR cheaper and Katie wants to sleep in the trundle. Plus, I like the idea of staying at a differnt resort too! We have no issue all 5 of us in one room. So...I gave the numbers to Tim last night and he said ok! So today...I got a ticker!!!!!:banana::banana::banana: That is a good thing and a scary thing! Only 9 months!!!! AAAAAAHHH!!!!
 
I wanted to share this link with you guys:
http://www.disneyventures.com/

It's a new website with finished trip reports. This way, you can go there and search through trip reports by the date of the trip and you will know that they are done (no disappointing 1/2 trip reports. Yeah, I mean you DisUnc).

So far, there are only two trip reports- mine and the person who started the website. But, she wanted me to ask my friends to add theirs, too. So, contact her if you're interested. I think it could be a really neat site!
