I guess I better post before I become an official loser. Haven't posted in awhile, been busy packing. Our stuff left on Tuesday and tomorrow we leave for the long drive out to CO. But I'm super excited to finally be leaving here and going back home.

Good idea posting before page 10!! Once you're labeled around here- it STICKS!!

Ahhh...I wish the insanity would stop! Why is it anybody talks about going somewhere I have to figure out what my children will wear? We are going to a football game at my college in a few weeks...I spent all last night deisigning the kids' clothes. Now...I must head off to the fabric store...good news (see looking for the silver lining in Timmy going to school now) I get to walk into the store ALONE and SHOP and not have to hurry...then I may need to go get some lunch...I AM EXCITED!

We all must suffer sometime in our lives- it builds character ya know!

New people don't count in the before page 10 rule, and neither does my sister, cause she'll never a loser to me.

Well, the middle of the night panic attacks started right at countdown day 39, so that is my idea of excited for a trip. The kids all like to tell me everyday how many days are left. And, Brian has started his I-should-just-stay-home-while-you-go-and-get-some-things-done-around-here rant, so I think that means HE is getting excited... So, yep, we are getting excited!!!

I need you for a sister!

MOTPA- LOVE IT!!! Are you having dreams about what you still need to finish before the trip? Wht are you looking forward to the most? How about the little kiddles- what do they want to do the most?

Just a quick post on the new thread before I go to bed. We went to the zoo on Friday and I made Chloe an Emma top. She picked the fabrics. It's a cute style but was a bit frustrating to make.

Everything looks so great! I wish I had time to make a first day of school dress but that's not going to happen. My parents are taking the kids on a day trip on Saturday so maybe I can get some sewing in then.

adorable, simply adorable!

I think the alligator clip style would be ideal, because you could just slip in through the hair on top of her head after the bun was done. Hopefully you could just slide it out, too at the end of the night without taking her 'do down.

I'm jealous! I haven't even started sewing for our trip yet. I have two excuses though 1) I have limited experience sewing and haven't done it in a while so wanted to do a few other sewing projects to get my feet wet (thus far everything turned out great!) 2) I want the clothes to be a surprise for dd and ds. I am making notes from the characters and will have the clothes on their beds in the morning. Therefore, I am waiting for school to start to work on those outfits.
My other problem is I have some ideas, but keeping seeing other things I like as well and change my mind. I only have one outfit sketched out and truely only one other one in my head.

We'll obviously be there the same exact time!! We're going Dec 5-12! I am still trying to decide where the heck we are staying - things keep changing!

The only reason I have started sewing is that I know if I don't I won't get done!! I am an incredible procrastinator!! Plus, I work full time, and can't sew until my 1 year old goes to bed about 9pm. So, I have a lot of late nights! I also plan on making all my own pettiskirts, and those take forever!

I understand about changing your mind! I have been back and forth. I have just a ton of great ideas from these boards. I am having trouble narrowing them down!

My daughter wanted a lilo dress for our Disney trip. As a mum who works Full Time as a Marketing Manager and also works from home doing freelance I confess I was happy to take the short cut an buy the dress.

But after searching the internet I just could not find that little red dress with white leaves.

So (please don't tease me for not sewing) I did the following:

Bought a red t-shirt dress from a Charity shop
Bought some white cotten
Bought some Bondaweb

I made a leaf template and using the bondaweb ironed the cut out white cotton to to the dress.

Below is the result - I may not be as talented as some of you guys with the fantastic outfits you create, however, as a complete beginner I was really pleased with my first 'Costume effort' (my 11yr daughter also loves it - infact she won't stop wearing it!)

Looks awesome! You should be very proud of your creation and even more so since your dd loves it so much.

Hmmm....having a problem deciding. I need to make my youngest DD a cinderella outfit before we go. I made my oldest the pink cindy dress. Well, my youngest is going to have the peasant shirt with an applique of cindy on it, but I can't decide what skirt to make. I have the light blue fabric with the princesses on it from Wally's World. I was thinking either the patchwork twirl (but don't know if I will have the time for this one) or the scalloped twirl one. Any suggestions or pictures you could share to help me make up my mind?

I really think a patchwork would great with a peasant shirt. You'll have time (heck, who I am I to tell you this -- I've never attempted a patchwork before).

Ahhh...I wish the insanity would stop! Why is it anybody talks about going somewhere I have to figure out what my children will wear? We are going to a football game at my college in a few weeks...I spent all last night deisigning the kids' clothes. Now...I must head off to the fabric store...good news (see looking for the silver lining in Timmy going to school now) I get to walk into the store ALONE and SHOP and not have to hurry...then I may need to go get some lunch...I AM EXCITED!

I am in shopping envy! I have 1.5 more weeks before I can shop alone. I adore my children and love having them home, but I wish there was just one day every week that I could ahve all to myself to shop alone. It doesn't help that dh has been gone most of Aug and I can't even get a weekend day to myself. Have a FABULOUS time at the fabric store!

I guess I better post before I become an official loser. Haven't posted in awhile, been busy packing. Our stuff left on Tuesday and tomorrow we leave for the long drive out to CO. But I'm super excited to finally be leaving here and going back home.

For all you moms sending the kids off to school. Yesterday Was the first day of school out here. Ds should have had his forst day but because of the move there was no point to enroll him. I also have driven a school bus for the last few years. I actually did tear up yesterday knowing that my son should be in school and I should be driving my bus. I already miss my bus and some of my kids on the bus.

Well I'm off to get both cars loaded up and finish cleaning the house.

Bless you for being a school bus driver ~ I'd be tearing up if I had to be one. The thought of driving a huge bus scares me but with 50 noisy kids on it as well -- no thank you! Good luck with your move.

Will she wear a headband? That might work.

We'll obviously be there the same exact time!! We're going Dec 5-12! I am still trying to decide where the heck we are staying - things keep changing!

I am lucky, I work very part time (about 1 day per week) and both my children are in school full time (even pre-K for my daughter last year was full time). I do have an hour's drive every morning and afternoon taking them and picking them up, but I'm generally home alone between 9am and 2:30pm. I would think I should be able to accomplish at least an outfit a week. I guess it all depends on how well I can applique b/c I have a couple of outfits in my head that will require a lot of applique. Eeeks! Now that I think about it I may not have enought time!
We won't arrive until the 6th. I am very worried about ADRS because by the time they post hours I think I'll only have one or two days to figure things out. Also, it's now free dining and that will make things worse (and what's even worse is we don't qualify for free dining ).
Are you doing MVMCP? I was going to do ds an appliqued long sleeve t with Mickey in a Santa's hat and make dd a coordinating Vida (with more detail) and just this morning they inform me that they don't like Mickey or Minnie Mouse! What?????!!!!!! Donald and Daisy are fine as is Pluto, but not M&M. Argh! What's a mother to do? DD is getting a Minnie dot dress and I don't want any complaints!
Anyway, we are staying at AKL (only b/c we got 40% off which is why we won't get free dining). I am very excited about it, though likely we won't have that much time in our room.

Chloe picked the fabrics and has a long "shopping list" for my next projects.

This made me laugh. My girls also have a "list" of projects for me that keeps growing. I have another tunic, a spongebob pants outfit and a vida on the list with fabric, thread, etc sitting here waiting and ready to go!

Definitely do a headband. Depending what hairstyle she picks at BBB, their hair is practically glued to their heads. Aisling had the Princess (bun) style last year and we wouldn't have been able to get clips in it. She walked around the parks for two days, swam, and slept in the hairstyle and I still needed to wash it several times to get all the stuff out.

Well, if I could sleep, it would be a dream! Uggh, so much sewing I want to do and so many things I HAVE to do! We got our Magical Express luggage tags yesterday!!! I was so esited!!! I don't know that I'm looking forward to most. We've never stayed on property before. I really love 1900 Park Fare so I'm looking forward to that. We are only going to Epcot, I'm looking forward to that too. I'm hoping it will be a very relaxed week, since we are only going to that one park one day. I enjoy going to the different resorts and looking around. The kids, I really don't know what they are looking forward to either! I think they are hoping we will get more tickets! Lydia keeps talking about meeting Drizella again, so I think that is high on her list!

I may be a serious lurker but I am NOT a loser (this time anyway).

Glenda

Good girl!

Thank you!




There is a little girl named Tessa who lives about 3 miles from us with the same middle name as my Tessa. Her mom freaked out when she heard me use both names for Tessa once when we were out at the store and she was goofing around. I was laughing at something she had done - the mom thought I was laughing at her daughter! Once I explained it, she thought it was really cool that not only had she met another Tessa but that they both had the same middle name!

Thank you. Chloe picked the fabrics and has a long "shopping list" for my next projects.

How funny that you met someone named Tessa AND with the middle name as your daughter! If the middle name was Jane, that would be very odd!

 

[Mirb1214]

OH NO!! Am I a loser yet???

 

[JustcallmeHappy]

OH--

I say the black too...and where did you get the OSU panel...my DH is a huge OSU fan...I could see Katie needing an outfit!

Just by the skin of my teeth


FOR REAL!!! Where did you get the OSU fabric. OSU is REALLY strict about their trademark and it is nearly impossible to find licensed fabric. I might need some of that too!!!

Hey, I got the OSU panel on but its not fabric (I have Yet to find Any OSU Fabric) Its from the sheet set that you can buy online (i think its like 35-40 bucks for a twin set) Anyway its the pillow case



Also since when is all hairbow glue so darn toxic? The glue I just got home says it can cause cancer in the state of CA and the poor cord off my new hot glue gun says "contains lead, wash hands after using.."

 

[fairygoodmother]

cutting it close...did I make it before page 10?

The pile of fabrics for poohnpigletsCA's girls has begun talking back to me. Time to get into full blown sewing mode. This will not be easy...especially since I don't get to make the trip with them. In fact, I don't think they even considered taking me.... hmmmmm.

That's okay. I get to go to Tahoe for a few days the week before THEY leave. DH has a co-worker with a timeshare on the beach, south shore. She's offered it to us at the end of her week. I'm thinking I'll need a little time at the beach by then.

Oh no...if you do all of my sewing I'll take you! But maybe i should rethink that if fabric is talking to you...hmmm...maybe you do need that time at the beach!

That cancer in CA warning is on a LOT of things.

 

[emcreative]

Oh no...if you do all of my sewing I'll take you!

LOL I was thinking the same thing!

And I don't think it's "losers" who come in after page 10...I like to think of them as those cool, fashionably late people who arrive to a party an hour or so after the start so that all eyes are on them as they make a grand entrance!

 

[JustcallmeHappy]

That cancer in CA warning is on a LOT of things.

so why can it cause cancer in CA but no other states? (I am not trying to start a debate, I just really don't know)

 

[HeatherSue]

I'm not sure if I made it before page 10. But, if I didn't it's just 'cuz all the cool kids post on page 10. Thanks for having my back, Teresa!

I finished Tessa and Sawyer's Jasmine and Aladdin outfits today! They're going to wear these to Akershush and for the day at Epcot. Hopefully we'll run into Jasmine and Aladdin this time! Be prepared for LOTS of Tessas and Sawyers!

The back of Sawyer's vest. I started with CarlaC's Festive Vest pattern. But, I modified it to look more like Aladdin's.

Tessa's shirt is the simply sweet bodice, but elongated and I didn't put elastic in the straps. I just put elastic around the ankles of the easy fits for the pants.

The skirt on Tessa's outfit is removable (I put snaps in the back) and here is Sawyer's t-shirt without the vest. I stitched the design on some fabric and then sewed the piece onto the shirt. I left the edges frayed.

Close-ups of the appliques I digitized:

so why can it cause cancer in CA but no other states? (I am not trying to start a debate, I just really don't know)

CA has a different threshhold for labeling projects (and deciding something causes cancer)

Heather they look adorable!
