What adorable girls and dresses! I would love to sew for a girl, but alas I have two boys. I am going to have to "adopt" a little girl to sew for.

I am just desperate for 3 yards of either one of these fabrics. Please if you see them when you are out let me know so I could call the store or pick them up and I will pay for the shipping and effort.

I went to make DH a pirate shirt to match our outfits and all I have left is scraps. I think I got it at JoAnn's but won't be there till next Sunday the 7th and even then don't know if they have it.

When I was at our JoAnnes last week they had the one on the left in the clearance section. I know because I had bought it this spring and thought do I need more of it. I could run back and see if they still have it? just let me know. I'm in Minnesota!

I think my wallymart had it... if I am remebering correctly.
Is the background black or is it embossed with another design? I can't tell because my PC is old...

I will keep on the lookout for you and let you know. 3 yards right?

I thought this was really neat and it made me think of all the people here and how we sew for our kids. Neat idea and story, I thought!

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!

WOOOOHOOOOO!!! LUGGAGE TAGS ALREADY?!?!??

Are you bringing any good books to relax with at the pool?? You'll LOVE staying onsite Teresa! There's just something so special and relaxing about being at a Disney Resort!

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

SAFE.

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!

SAFE. However........You cannot reverse the word of she that hath spoken.

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!

SAFE.

Cute outfits .... and kids! I love the new stuff your doing Heather. Hate that you're not here as much, but LOVE the new stuff.

Page 10??? Already???

SAFE.



A decree hath been sent out by Teresa of Joy..... anyone posting to this thread before page 10 is not a loser. That makes you SAFE. A WINNER. One who is successful. A Victor!

If your first post on this thread comes after page 10-.... you are a LOSER. This makes you disadvantaged. A down-and-outer or dud.

Sorry....... but this is what she has decreed and we all must accept our lot in life. Perhaps Teresa of Joy will find it in her heart to wave penalty of those who come after page 10.

WOW HEATHER!! Those are great Aladdin outfits!!! I love the fabric you used for Tessa's.

ATTENTION DISBOUTIQUERS!!!!!! Did that do it? Are you paying attention

I just found this project called Iraqi Bundles of Love. There is a soldier in Iraq who is collecting flat rate boxes w/ bundles of sewing supplies to distribute to citizens in the area where he is deployed. It's an APO so it will be the same as sending it w/in the US.
According to his about me page he is "...the son of a quilter, who also made Halloween costumes for us kids. I am the brother of quilters, who give generously in everything they do. I am the husband of a quilter, who inspires me every day. And, apparently, I am helping to raise a quilter, who happens to be the cutest girl in the world."

HERE is his page: http://ibol.wordpress.com/2009/08/03/iraqi-bundles-of-love-the-intro/

This is a great way to get rid of some of that amassing fabric stash you have. A great project for your girl scouts, sunday school class or quilters guild. I hope that a lot of you get involved. What an amazing way for us to reach out as crafters to the world beyond ours and lend a helping hand to those in real need.

IF YOU HAVE FABRIC BUT DON'T HAVE $$$$ to send it, let us know maybe someone here has the cash but not the threads and ya'll can hook up to send a bundle

This is a wonderful thing. Thanks for bringing my attention to it!

What a darling picture!

Hey, Heather Sue!

My how your kids have grown!!!! Time flies...ok, so now tell me, what is the machine you bought? Anyone recommend an embroidery machine?
I just love your designs...but I need a machine to become a patron of your designs, if you get my drift!!!

When are you going to WDW? Your children will be celebrities in the parks for sure!!

Love and blessings,
Susan

 

[MommyBoo!]

adorable, simply adorable!

Thank you!

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!

I have a vida on my list too but mine is a Snoopy.

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!

Mine is Tessa Nicole.

This set is fantastic! I love the Jasmine!

Hello fellow Tessa mommy!!! What is her middle name? My Tessa is a Tessa Jane. I almost never hear the name, so it's funny that you have someone that lives so close to you named Tessa! I love the zoo outfit and the head scarf!

Mine is Tessa Nicole. I mostly hear about people's "Great Aunt Tessa" when they hear the name. And, thank you!

My 2nd Vida, my 2nd applique...

Wonderful!

 

[HeatherSue]

Thank you! coming from you that means soooooo much, "oh-thou-amazing-applique-queen"!

You're crazy!! But, thank you!

Thank you. I've been thinking of the little girls I wanted to adopt a lot lately. I really miss them. I worry about them and I really hope they're doing okay.

O

We would never laugh at you!! Well, unless you sew pants together upside-down. Then, we might laugh because almost everyone has done it. Those dresses are adorable!! Plus, many a seamstress on here fears bias tape. So, you're one step ahead already!

Oh my goodness gracious. What a bevy of cuteness!!! I love them! Great job!

Teresa of Joy is rather harsh. Don't let her name fool you. She is an imposter, after all. I really doubt she will reverse the decree. She rarely changes her mind, especially when she is right- which is pretty much always (if you ask her).

You are cracking me up today, Ms. Karen!

Susan! It makes me so happy to see you posting!! It's been a LONG time! When was the last time you hung out with us? It's been well over a year, hasn't it?

I didn't buy a machine at all! My cousin GAVE me a Viking Designer 1 embroidery machine, on permanent loan. It's an older machine, but it's wonderful! I really don't know what kind of machine to recommend because I haven't tried another one. All I know is that you need to make sure you get one with at least a 5x7 hoop. If you get a 4x4 hoop, you will be wishing you had a bigger one almost immediately!

I'm taking the kids to Disney from October 3-10. Teresa and her family will be down there at the same time. This will be our first free dining trip and Teresa's first stay on property! Yay!!

 

[MommyBoo!]

Does anybody know of a pattern that is in print for the Star Wars costumes? I tried looking around and NADA...I did find some OOP on so I may have to go that way...ugh my silly kids...the want to be Luke and Leia for Halloween and Timmy is going to be a Jawa.

Try this link. Scroll down to Star Wars. SOme of the links are no longer good but others still work.

Good luck; I hope you get your fabrics. I will check if I am in a Joanns this weekend.

My sister's youngest is Tessa Jayne!!

How cool!

Such a cute top!

Thank you!

Those are really cute!

If they have 3 yards and I can pay you with paypal for the fabric, shipping and time, please go get it for me!

I will keep on the lookout for you and let you know. 3 yards right?

The one on the left is all black the one on the right has a map print. I am in need of this so even if you could get it also, I would like to have it. I am more than happy to pay you with paypal for the fabric, shipping and your time. Thanks so much friends for finding this for me.

 

[kathyell]

Aw, bean...those dresses came out really cute.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I made this for a survival bag swap that I am participating in for our trip.

I had a terrible time with this as I am so tired from working.

Harsh INDEED!! I have heard about her imposter-ship... but thought it only a rumor. I fear now the rumor to be true! If so- perhaps we can rally and override her royal decree??

What exactly is a "survival bag swap? You have me curious!

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:

Heather, those are so cute!!!

Hello to the disboutique world! I am sure you all probably don't remember me, as there are a ton of new faces around here, but I have been around off and on since this thread started...I still love to lurk & see the BEAUTIFUL creations! I haven't really sewn anything since February when we went to Disney with my DSIL as she was suffering with her breast cancer. She passed a few weeks after our trip and I haven't really had time or felt like sewing much.
I recently got a promotion at work and my DH(a Disney Hater) has agreed to a trip "re-do" the first week of December!!!!! It is going to be our Christmas present this year and I am so excited to visit during the Christmas season!!!! Our last trip was very rushed and catered to my sweet SIL so I am very excited to actually "do" Disney this time! So I must start planning out some outfits and get sewing! Sorry to ramble I just had to share with someone my disney excitement. We plan on surprising the kids this weekend with the BIG announcement!

BTW I am officially a loser as I have posted after page 10...

 

[mom2rtk]

OK, against my better judgement........ I'm posting my costume for MNSSHP. 10 yards of crushed velvet and a satin skullcap.... Won't be too hot in FLORIDA the last week of September, will it??????? So maybe I won't have it on ALL night, but it will be on when we meet Snow and her dwarfs, and when we find the queen after the villains stage show....... I made my daughter a new Snow white over the summer.
