Ok, y'all, I know you're just dying to see what I did this week, so without further ado...

Finally finished the princess stripwork twirls for the Big Give; I used the elastic under the arms techinque (thanks Shannon, Lesilie (i think) and anyone else I'm forgetting right now for the idea; I think it worked pretty well. I've turned one around so you can see the back; but they match: Sleeping Beauty on the front of the bodice and Snow White on the back:

Then, I got around to making my first Vida; special thanks to Stephres and Lisa Zoe for their fantastic tutorials, without whom it would not have been possible.

However,

Ladies who recommended the Vida.................................

I have a bone to pick with you!!

Y'all neglected to mention in all the "it's so easy", "it's so versatile", and "it's perfect for embellishment" that an oh, say, ever so slightly OCD individual might, I repeat might, not be able to stop embellishing it!!! Every time I hung the thing to take pics I would think, no, it just needs a little something... (lather, rinse, reapeat about 4 times)
Next time I'm going to have to about triple the time I think it should take me to make it. Even now, I keep thinking; just a little something more on the bodice... but I'm stopping myself because I'm planning to put a portrait peasant beneath it, and DD loves the "roses" the straps make when they're tied (which is kind of a bummer because I found super cute buttons) anyway, here it is, in all it's final glory I think:

so: do you think it needs just a little something???

You did a super job! Wow, the vida is amazing. I keep saying how lucky I am to have a boy not have to make dresses. You must be very calm to be able to do that dress.

oh, April; if you only knew... let's just say "calm" is not a word anyone who knows me would use to describe me. Friendly, passionate, mama bear (I'm pretty sure only the special ed coordinator and diagnostician at school call me that... lets just say I'm a recovering type A+++ who's worked her way down to an A- but calm,nope!

Hey, whatcha doin here anyway? Don't you have a trip to pack for or somethin'?

Hancocks had the Disney fleece 52% off
So I couldn't resist.
(I'd upload a photo, but I dropped the camera & broke it )
I bought a few yards of this pattern

& this one

Now I don't know what to do with them.

We're going for Christmas & it could be cold or it could be warm. You never know.

My oldest son (not in my sigi) is a husky 10 yo.. The one below is a boney 6 yo & DD is a petite 2 yo.

Other than a blanket, any suggestions?

Hi!

I'm brand new here and I've been admiring everyone's work. My machine is a Brother XL5130. It has that satin stitch that you'd use to make button holes. Is that what I need for applique work?

My daughter (17) is quite creative and would like a machine that embroiders. Is the Brother SE350 a good choice? It's quite a bit less expensive than some machines I've checked out, but that's not always a good thing. It seems to get great reviews though. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Lori in East Podunk, WI

I would make sure it has at least a 5 X 7 hoop size. Your DD might want to learn to do applique with just the satin stitch? Then you have no need for the embroidery machine!

Ok here are some more sets for the trip. Jessica did the shirts for me and the haunted mansion embroidery (I sewed it on and made the easy fits) JESSICA HAS BEEN A LIFE SAVER this week for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

need to change the pants. DH informed me that it needs to say arr not arg (great like I need one more thing to do!) I also want to get a skull button if I can for the flag and add buttons for cannon holes on the side of teh ship

I made the shirt and Jessica matched teh minnie perfectly for me!

OMGosh, so cute!! You and Jessica are so talented!!! I love the girly pirate mickey!!

Please remember my daughter and her husband. She was involved in a small accident this afternoon, totaled her vehicle, but she is fine. The problem is ...she works for the city, the city policeman caused the accident, and she hit the city police car. The accident report says she caused the accident (even though 10 witnesses said otherwise)and now it is putting her job in an awkward position. (she is the city payroll clerk, and police officer causing the accident is the police department payroll clerk)

To make it worse, it happened right before the processional bringing home a local man killed in Iraq. The accident caused the procession to have to go around them. This is bothering her so much she can't stop crying.

Thanks...

Nini

Oh, poor thing. It isn't the best situation, but she has witnesses who will tell the truth! I am happy to hear she is not hurt.

I have yet to figure out where (if I do have it) the basting stitch is on my machine. From the description that others gave on here, it is the button with the square with a needle..when I push that, it just starts sewing.

That is what happened when I hit that button too! I guess I read it all wrong!

Does anyone know if there is a printable Joann's coupon out there? I am thinking of running up there and can't find a coupon!

Did you get one? Do you need more??

GREAT! You DID have to mention the coupon, didn't you!
Off to Hobby Lobby I go!

I am so sad that I don't have a hobby lobby. That fabric is so cute!!

LOL, so you are a recovering type A down to an A- LOL. I love it.
I was at work when I did that post waiting for payroll. I had taken two days off because of my headache and had to go in. I had the payroll done at 8:05 and waited until after lunch. The girl said she never got the email so I wrote checks out in 10 minutes before I had to leave. Now wonder I get headaches.

I did finish the Star Wars shirt for DH on PS4 and just did the iron on. Unfortunately it is not sticking.

Maybe you could give me lessons on how to get it done? Type A's do get things done.

 

[Shannalee724]

And still the stinkin' yellow dot aludes me! UGH! Maybe I can find it online??

 

[ibesue]

So according to my sewing machine shop, you should never, ever, EVER use elastic thread in your home machine!! How am I suppose to shirr???

He seemed surprised that I am able to do!! But said he has to tell me to stop, but I do have the extended warranty!! So I guess I can continue to get the machine serviced!!


SOOOOOO
I know its been done many times before, but I cannot find them, so can we do another "show your sewing room" thread??? One of my DD's is making over my sewing room for my birthday coming up! I need ideas!! I remember seeing some great rooms! So if anyone wants to share again??

I am so sorry, what a tough situation. I hope it resolves itself soon.

Lol - i knew I remembered some type of football!!! Tennis sounds fun! In florida, I always think of swimming! Around here baseball is big in the spring. Does Megan play any sports?

I know, a lot of his friends are on the swim team, they do it year round. I don't know, he thinks swimming is just for fun!

Megan is not a sporty gal. She has tried lots of different things and she's not crazy about anything. She even gave up horseback riding (after I spent a fortune in equipment!).

That is so funny! Did you have any idea he didn't like it before that?

Well he didn't want to sign up for it but he never complained so I thought it was growing on him. I think if the coach's behavior was better he might not have hated it so much. I don't know why grown men can't act more mature!

So cute. My DS8 has done that before. Looks like he is enjoying something, and/or doing well at it, and then when it is finished I get "Mom, I am NEVER doing that again!"

Funny!

I love everything, but this is so cute! Must be all the extras you added. I'm glad my tut helped!

Why, oh why! Did you post this! I have to buy some now and I just love so many of the prints! I am thinking some easy fit pants. Not sure how they'll sew up but if the towel pants do well then I think I can do it with fleece. Dallas loves warm pj's.

 

[ncmomof2]

Well, I am finished for our trip in 10 days (unless I come up with another project. I am considering disney burp cloths )

Here are the bows I made with each dress. I like making corkers and she will wear them with some type of ponytail. There are two travel outfits that
I posted earlier. I am going to use bows from last year for those outfits.


MK:

Epcot and Norway Princess dinner:

HS:

MK and 1900 Park Fare:

MK and Chef Mickey:

AK and Donald's breakfast:

I also made a princess nursing cover.

I was wondering if anyone knew why they make so many fleece patterns and so few cotton? So many
I would buy if it were cotton!

2nd what about making the kids a fleece vest?

I would definitely stick it in an envelope and ship it to Lydia immediately.





Failing that, I think it would be great for an a-line with capri's and a big mickey silhouette applique on the front.
Or maybe a very full stripwork skirt, with coordinating prints. It's such a fun fabric.

Why am I laughing? Many of the ladies here would Love to have some of that fabric. . . .

I would make myself a Patricia Tunic with it. My favorite colors and mickey swirls combined! I search every once in a while for this fabric; you finding it hidden in your stash gives me hope someone will post some for sale on some site someday!

/jedi mind trick

I would send it to Marah, Immediately


(PS- This is the first post I read after my nap, now I'm going to go back and see how many other people told you to do the same thing!)

Were you thinking of something for kids or something for adults?

You totally need to send it to Nicole, she really, really, really needs it, she has dreams about it...

barring that: I think it would also be an awesome overdress on a feliz. or the main fabric panels on a vida, or an emma top and embellishment on jeans a la lisa zoe, or - hey wait, you could do all of that with about half and then just send me the rest!!

Send it to Sam.....please, pretty please

I just love this fabric and sooo jealous

Wow, I take it that is a coveted print, huh? I found it at Joann's, must have been spring/summer '07, and bought what was left on the bolt to make DD something for her birthday trip that August. I'd just gotten my sewing machine that spring and I was on a roll for a bit, but then the kids got out of school and derailed me before I got around to doing much for Disney. Which turned out okay, since my mom bought DD a whole Princess wardrobe for the trip anyway.

I like the idea of the Emma top & jeans. My girls would like that, the 8yo would probably like it better than another skirt since I've already got a few fru-fru outfits in the works.

Oh! And they DID end up using one of my pictures on CNN:

Here are the nine pictures they selected for the gallery:

http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/09/15/wall.emotions.irpt/index.html

Lizzie is right in the middle, hanging off her slide!

My DH sent me that link yesterday! He was laughing at the picture of the baby in the chair... DD did almost the same thing Saturday after we got home from a Build-A-Bear birthday party. I looked at the other pictures, but didn't realize at the time that your DD was in the center picture! How cool!!

First of all, those are seriously cute prints! My first thought was to use Carla's tunic pattern and maybe size it up one for the extra bulk? I figure if you can use a towel like some of the gals have, surely fleece would work, too. Or use carlas raglan pattern for a hoodie. Also, there are a couple of seriously cute jacket patterns out there, but they're commercial patterns I think I just bought a simplicity one. And of course, the classic hat and scarf combo; it would be really cute if the whole family had matching ones.

Those are awesome!!!!!!!!! They're going to look so cute! I actually think the Disney burpies are a really great idea; goodness knows they'll probably be in at least a few of your pics- might as well coordinate, right?

Just in case anyone is looking....I found the black and white striped tights at Target. They seem to be pretty nice - they are the thicker/sweater type of tights, not the thin nylony type. The sizes are a bit strange - the smallest size that my Target has is a S/M which ranges in size from 36-72 lbs. Seems like a big size range to me! We'll see, my girls are pretty much in the middle of that. They also had the orange and black striped ones. Hope that helps someone out!
