We now have Chef Mickeys instead of my Chef de France. But the boys are happy The last time we went their DS was in the full throws of autism and completely non verbal. He use to make a sign for Mickey so going back is going to be wonderful.

What can I make for the boys to wear? Chef Mickey like?

Thanks Ladies!!

Anyone have any advice for that 8 year old girl size?

Has anyone ever gone to the Imagination Movers Concert? Im thinking of taking the kids - they are coming to Wilmington, DE......customs?????

Do you have a picture of her you can PM/email me, especially if she is next to your mom (and you can tell me her height)?

My 8 year old is very slender and about average height. She can wear an 8 in pants but it would need to have the adjustable waist.

I booked dinner at 1900 Park Fare and my DD told me she wants to wear an Anastasia dress (she's 3...she's more excited to meet Anastasia than Cinderella! She said she wants to tell Anastasia that she needs to be nice ). For those who have made them, which patten did you use?

DS is 6 and DH is 45. Don't worry we are hundreds of people with so many children on the dis.

LOL When you said "boys" I thought I'd really lost it and totally forgotten a second son!

Okay I'm gonna brainstorm....

Hand applique? Machine applique? NO applique?

Angela, as in Ollie Girl, Angela? I must have missed her post? What is her ID?

Welcome!

LOL! The one and only. Her id is mermaidtales. I hope she sticks around.

I'm a little confused by the post, I'm sorry!!!

You are Ollie Girl?? You already had an account on the Dis. I remember you posting way back when! I wondered where you went!

She was praising LisaZoe's Vida's but couldn't figure out how to quote with the pictures

After I get some prewound bobbins today, I've run out of excuses for trying Igor.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a video (youtube whatever) that does a good job at showing a moron like me how to do machine applique? Particularly with my machine (Brother PE700II) would be great!!!

Thanks!

I need help with Halloween costumes. One dd wants to be a nurse and the other wants Felicity's blue Holiday dress http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/ProductPage.jsf/itemId/142268/itemType/TOY/webTemplateId/3/uniqueId/18/saleGroupId/154 .

Any suggestions for patterns? I looked at the commercial ones and couldn't find anything. I know for the pants for the nurse I could use the easy fit pants.

If she wants to be a "scrubs" outfitted nurse, you could also use the sophie tunic for the top.

Why does my computer keep rebooting?? Every time I have a multi quote going it goes poof because my computer keeps shutting down. INNERNETS!

YOU HAVE AN AVATAR!!!! YIPPEEE!!!!

Good morning everyone!

My mom finally sent me some pictures from her trip to Brazil where they were speaking/encouraging local men and women who minister and work so hard with their local people. My mom brought 50 wristlets that Lydia, Steph and I made and put little packets of tissues, life savers and a Bible verse in all of them. One day my mom had a special "tea" for the ladies to spoil them a little - the ladies were so grateful, they wouldnt even use their special decorative napkin, but instead folded it up and put it in their wristlet to take it home. I have been emailing with one of the ladies over there and Im going to send her a pink one for her 8 year old neice - do you think I should make her a skirt or something too? I only have a head shot of her, but she looks thin but I cant tell how tall!! I want it to be a surprise - should I just make a size 8? or should I do bigger with the elastic smaller??????

Anyways - here ya go!!
My Mom and Sister in Law Heather

What wonderful pictures Wendy! Thank you so much for sharing!

I have nothing to add to this, besides to say- I love you, my dear sister. I'm so fortunate to have you in my life.
!

Awww, I love you too!!

I booked dinner at 1900 Park Fare and my DD told me she wants to wear an Anastasia dress (she's 3...she's more excited to meet Anastasia than Cinderella! She said she wants to tell Anastasia that she needs to be nice ). For those who have made them, which patten did you use?

I haven't actually made one yet, but I was planning on using Carla's Precious Dress for the girls' dresses.

I was confused, because when she's posted to this thread in the past, her username was Ollie Girl!. I couldn't figure out if she was Ollie Girl or someone else quoting Ollie Girl and my brain got all kerfuddled!!! Now that I know she switched usernames, I get it! I confuse easily, don't ya know!

Thanks!

Does it have a preloaded design in it? I would start with that one first so it build confidence.

1. Put fabric in hoop and make it taut.
2. Attach hoop to machine
3. Put stabilizer under the fabric and hoop. Or put stabilizer under fabric and hoop both.
4. Pull up design from the storage in machine, lower foot, press button.

APPLIQUE! You can do it, just go slow and breath. Start with just a small piece of fabric that you just want to practice on.

I am sure others know a lot more than me as I have only done it for 2 weeks.

Either machine or non. But work on your machine. These outfits wont' even start till next weekend.

Hi,

This is the only picture I have of the little girl - she is 8 years old - her aunt attended the conference my mom was at, and her neice just loved the wristlet - Im going to make her one, but wanted to send some other "lovin" along too - they just have so little!! Im thinking a twirl skirt or something???? Just not sure of the size!!!!!!

Thanks for the help!!!

Total guess, but she does look like she might be built like my Hannah. Her measurements are:



Hannah:
Top of Shoulder to knee = 27
Chest=24 (under armpit all the way around)
Waist= 22.5
Hip=25
She's 50 inches tall and from the top of her shoulder to her knee is 27.5 inches.


What I have always wondered, though, is if you could leave an opening in the inside of the waistband on the skirt (sewing the edges of course), and make your own "adjustable elastic" with a button and buttonholes? Hmm...

You also may want to think about a Sophie tunic if you're scared on sizing, they are very forgiving!

So my younger two girls have decided they want to be

Isabella(Hannah)

and

Vanessa Doofenshmirtz (Lizzie)

Any suggestions on these costumes? Patterns, etc? Is Vanessa's outfit pleather?!?! LOL Anyone know how to make a gigantic pink hairbow?

ps- I was going to make the boys Harry Potter and Draco since Draykey is getting round black Harry Potter glasses (real glasses!) any day now, but now I'm thinking I have to make them Phineas and Ferb. What do you think?

I gave my sister a bunch of clothes to take to some women in Brazil once and I'm pretty sure the people in that village anyway were quite small in size. I'll bet she's quite small and thin but it would be a good idea to make the skirt a longer length. Elastic can really fit a big range. I make skirts for two sisters to share and one has a waist about 3 inches bigger than the other and they both manage to fit in the same size elastic skirt.

I'm thinking Phineas and Ferb would be pretty cute since that is how we know them anyway.

Maroo is writing up a report about a very magical experience Lucas had on his wish trip. Many of you may know him since he was a Big Give recipient. You seriously have to CHECK OUT THIS MAGIC MOMENT WISH TRIP REPORT BY MAROO!! I tear up just linking you there. So amazing. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2279281

Who here has issues with their young children riding school buses on field trips due to the fact that most buses do NOT have seatbelts of any kind????

I don't b/c of the way school busses are made. they are designed with padded seats to absorb impacts so that kids as safe as they can be without them, and the rationale is that in an emergency situation like a fire or the bus flooding it would be almost impossible for a couple of anults to get 50 little kids unbuckled and off the bus. Kids under about 8 tend to panic and not be able to get themselves out. Also, most poeple are aware of school busses in traffic, and our drivers undergo extensive trainiing. There have been 2 bus accidents here in the last 5 years, and only 1 minor injury and that was to an adult on the bus.
