Leiah Mouse!

Next up Darth Goofy!
Then I need to figure out at least 2 more shirts to do for our trip...

That is just adorable. I trust it was by hand? Very very cute.

Oh My! I'm brand new here, and I just had to say how adorable that backpack is! What pattern did you use? Was it hard? I tried a fanny pack once and gave up. The instructions didn't make any sense.

I'm not that experienced at sewing and I didn't think the backpack pattern was too difficult. But, it had a pocket/zipper in the back that I didn't add. I got the pattern from etsy. If you do a search for 'ladybug backpack pattern' you should find it.

I finished the last item (or at least I'm telling myself it's the last thing I'll make) for our trip in December. I'm soooo wishing I had an embroidery machine so I could do more elaborate outfits. Here are the pics...

Christmas outfits (mickey heads are outlined with gold metallic thread)

In less than 24 hours, I made 5 dresses (minnie, step sisters,pirates birthday and nemo), 10 hairbows and 2 autograph books. Now I need to make a birthday banner and 1 more dress before I leave at 5 am. I need more hours in the day today.

Appliquers...where do you and how do organize all the scraps that you need to save? Like my sewing stuff isn't already a huge mess..

I bought an over the door shoe bag with the clear pockets. I just stuff each color in a different pocket.

The bigger scraps are in a plastic tote.

Tami!! love all your outfits - but I really love that Pooh one with Lumpy on it too - where did you find that??

Love Nikki in the Princess Leah Minnie!!

A babby tutu tinkerbelle would be sooooo adorable!! Could you get some tiny wings too?

Hi puppy! Sorry, I couldn't resist!

That's Rosey. I don't know where her brother Rusty is.

SO my hubby actually took me to Joann's since thread assortments (the multipacks) were 40% off...and my stupid joanns did not have ANY. Just one kind of regular gutermanns.

Now I'm like on overload, and can't figure out where is a good price for a set of an assortment. I'm so scared I'll get the wrong kind Or spend way too much

Hi all. Been admiring all the great projects posted. Dh decided we had to take a short notice trip to D.C. over the weekend so I made the girls dresses for the day at the national zoo.

In action:

Not an experienced bowmaker, so instead I took some pony holders & then tied on strips of fabric that matched the dresses. I cut the fabric with pinking shears.

Also here is a peak at Morgan's 1st day of 3rd grade dress. I wanted pics on the 1st day of school (yesterday) but it was pouring & so didn't get them anyway here's the dress;

closeup of the applique ( I think I'm getting better at it):

Just made our reservations for most nights of our trip to disney & now it's time for me to get cracking on making outfits. Can't wait!! Thanks for all your inspiration.

I adore your zoo outfits -- the fabric is to die for! Where did you get it?
And fabulous job on the apple applique!

Everything is fabulous! I am in love the Christmas outfits and the idea of the gold metallic thread. Was it hard to use the metallic thread? I can only imagine it would accentuate my mistakes, but I may try it after I practice some more. I also really like that Pooh fabric. Please share where you found that. You have a super collection of outfits and I love seeing everything posted at once like that. You are going to have a fab trip!

Leiah Mouse!

That is hysterically cute!!! WAAAAAAAY too cute!!! Can't wait to see Goofy now!

SUPERWOMAN!!! Since you worked so dang hard and accomplished so much I won't bash you for not posting pictures. I am dying to see everything though -- they all had better be really simple outfits. I can't imagine pulling a feat like that off. I may need to borrow you

Appliquers...where do you and how do organize all the scraps that you need to save? Like my sewing stuff isn't already a huge mess..

Of course I don't remember who posted it but I saw someone did their scraps in zip lock baggies according to color and then had those in a plastic tote. I was planning on stealing that idea. And for larger scraps I was going to steal the idea of folding the scraps on small cardboard (size of fat quarters folded). The shoe holder is a great idea as well.

I need help finding someone on that certain auction site to make me some matching bows. Can anyone help????

Are you looking for someone specific or asking who our favorites are??

My 2 favs happen to be DISer's Waughzee (both ebay id and DIS id) makes the cutest bows with polymer centers (I think you already know that though ) and Little*Lady*Bowtique on e*bay (DIS id JennWDW) makes awesome boutique bows.

I have two quick questons for you ladies, as I work on designs to get started on.

First, can anyone point my in the direction of an easy petal skirt pattern? And when I say easy, I mean REALLY easy! I've not had good luck working from a commercial pattern in the past, and have actually found it easier to "wing it" sometimes.

Second, does anyone know where to look for wide ribbon or fabric that has the look of old-fashioned reel-to-reel projector film? I've decided to keep it simple for the girls' DHS outfits, blinging up a t-shirt with a Mickey clapboard design I found and trimming out some plain capris - that is if I can find the film-look fabric to use for the trim!

Here is my first tink applique on the new embroidery machine.

My take on test rack:

 

[princessmom29]

Thanks so much, but those Belle costumes are out of stock (and didn't see the Leia one, was another Belle link). I want her to match up with DH (who is really into dressing up for Halloween, we don't have a DS yet ). And that is the tink bunting I mentioned in my post that seems off to me, I'm not loving it. . . but I will put it down on the maybe list. Thanks so much for your help!

More of you can chime in, I still would love some opinions and/or suggestions!




You laugh - only someone really hardcore about NBC may notice, plus who will be scrutinizing so much? It looks fabulous. . . OH and you can just say it is Sally looking in the mirror if anyone questions it

My DD was born Oct 25th. I got a really cut haloween sleeper from gymboree in za newborn size, mabye something like that?? I saw some at walmart this week that looked like different animals in NB sizes.

Tami, everything looks gorgeous. But I really love that back pack.

Tink looks great. But I love your take on Test Track.

Someone here, got us all hooked on YouCanMakeThis.com and you can find "easy" there. I love the detailed instructions, you also get a library of all your purchases, so it's stored for later use or if a pattern updates.

Haven't seen film look trim. Have you tried a search for theatre fabrics?
