[stephie1012]

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.

omg i LOVE it!! I so hope we run into you while you are wearing it! Its gorgouse! Both dresses are! You look great! Such an amazing talent you have!

I was going to ask you how do you pack you dd's and yours costumes? I cant just see all of DD's stuff super wrinkled lol

OMG, that is just amazing! How long did it take to make? Not hot at all, just keep thinking cool thoughts. I hope to see you there.

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

Hi Karen,
It is always nice when I see your posts. How is the cricuit stuff going? I love love love your craft room. I have serious envy problems because it was so organized.

I didn't know about the swap either but when I read about it, it seemed to be a good idea. It is a tote that is going around that when a person checks out they put extra items into the tote. Like sealed water bottles, toys, umm...flashlights, I am adding a new package of boys pull ups and the outfit. It just seemed like a good way to not waste.

Well done! It looks great!!

Good job. Looks great.

Thank you ladies!

Now, wasn't that fun!!! Didn't we tell you you could do it!?! And, it turned out great!!! I'm not ready for my baby to be in 1st grade either, and she has been 6 since December!

Thank you! You and Heather are the reasons I even checked this thread out to begin with. They grow up so fast don't they?!

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!

Fabulous job as always!

You did a fantastic job!!! YAY!!!!

Thank you! You are definitely an inspiration based on how fast you have gotten so good at sewing/appliqueing/etc.

For all of us that are going soon, they extended the Wishes Dessert Party at the Magic Kingdom. You have to call and reserve through the dining line. I think I will call, it looks great !!!

I so want another baby, sadly I cannot have any more children. We have been looking into the foster to adopt in our state. My cousin couldn't have children and she started filling out adoption applications and then a friend of a friend of a friend told her about a young girl that wanted to give up her baby, so bing bang boom, she adopted the cutest little girl. Somehow I am hoping it will happen that way for me. I so have baby fever right now, and I am so upset, DH doesn't understand, but I know you all do

I read about the dessert party extension and am trying to squeeze it in to my and DD's trip.

Good luck on the adoption front! I honestly can't say I yearn to do the baby thing all over again but as DD gets older I get sad that this is the first, only and last time I will go through each milestone. It is not so much that I want another child as it is I am sad that DD keeps getting older and I will no longer have a little one to cuddle and do everything for. I know having an only was the right choice for us for both medical and other reasons but I sometimes feel a little sad about it too.

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

What a great project!

OK, amazing DISboutiquers, don't laugh at me!! I joined the thread a long time ago (under my alias), and all I made was tutus and bows...no sewing. Well, I finally dug out my Hello Kitty sewing machine (someone has the same one, PM me if that's you because I have some questions) and gave it a go.

I made the white pillowcase dress first. The pillowcase already had the super cute eyelet trim, so I just added some ribbon. It's very, very remedial, but I'm just excited I didn't sew my fingers together. The Minnie dress was some leftover fabric on clearance at Hobby Lobby. It was a few extra steps since it wasn't already a pillowcase, but it turned out nicer than I thought. I had extra fabric, so I made a bow and purse. Both are for my niece to wear on our trip next month. I need to find a slip or something to go underneath the white one, though.

See my lovely "straight" line.

I also made some curtains out of DS's Cars flat sheet. I feel so domestic!

I'm going to attempt to make some Aladdin pants (perfect timing for the Aladdin inspiration earlier in the thread) for DS since DNiece has a Jasmine outfit. I am also hoping to try an applique. Wish me luck and strong needles! I already broke one.

Great job! You will be making more things in no time!

Just wanted to share! These were the first dresses I ever made. My friend and I as well as my mom took a trip a couple of weeks ago. Here are our girls at Fort Wilderness wearing some Minnie inspired dresses

Great job! Love the dresses and the photos!

 

[mom2rtk]

omg i LOVE it!! I so hope we run into you while you are wearing it! Its gorgouse! Both dresses are! You look great! Such an amazing talent you have!

I was going to ask you how do you pack you dd's and yours costumes? I cant just see all of DD's stuff super wrinkled lol

Thanks! I leave all the costumes on hangers, then just fold them over and put them in the suitcase. The night I arrive, I take them all out and press them as needed and hang them in the closet. I fold the ones to take each day and just put them in a tote bag. They do wrinkle some, but it's it's not too bad..........

And I hope we see you there too! You know what I look like (but picture glasses too....) so you'll be one up on me... Come say hi if you see us!

OMG, that is just amazing! How long did it take to make? Not hot at all, just keep thinking cool thoughts. I hope to see you there.

Well, let's just say this isn't one you're likely to see me make for others. Seriously, I bought that entire bolt of crushed velvet last year thinking I'd make a COUPLE of costumes out of it. I underestimated how much doing those sleeves from a fabric with NAP would take! It took almost the entire 10 yard bolt. And I realy hated working with the crushed velvet. It's kind of heavy and wanted to pull the entire thing off the edge of the table every time I let my guard down. I felt like I was in hand to hand combat......

I couldn't say how long it took. I did the skull cap and cloak a month or so ago..... They hung here waiting for me to catch up on work sewing. The tunic took a couple of days.

I did Snow White months ago, so I don't remember how long it took. I've done enough that it goes pretty quickly. But adding the extra velveteen piping added some time to this one. And figuring out a new sleeve treatment took a bit too. I wanted to get as close to Snow White at the park as possible.

Now I just have to decide if I value SEEING the Magic Kingdom enough to leave my glasses off during the party and spoiling the look..........

I knew something was up when there were only 5 unread pages since my last log-in.... y'all moved on me. And once again here I am around page 14-15 on the new thread

Those dresses and those girls are SOOOO cute!!! Love the yellow buttons on the dresses!

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.

What a cute outfit!

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...

First....I don't think you're loser as "someone" closed the old thread 5 pages early.

So sorry for your loss.

Looks like we'll be at Pop together! I'm planning to be there 12/1 to 12/7.

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???????

WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!!!

 

[mom2rtk]

Amazing as always!

WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!!!

Many thanks!

Can you believe I haven't talked my husband and son into being Dopey and Grumpy yet?????????? I don't think we'll see them much that night.... I think they have a long list of short ride lines they want to hide in! They'll probably call us before meeting up just to be sure I have the costume off!

It felt so fun to wear though. I can hardly wait for the party!

 

[Adi12982]

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.

Dawn

I have a little girl making her debut into the world in mid-October, God willing if all goes well. . . . j/k you don't have to sew for her

 

[ireland_nicole]

well, still no job, but after fruitless searching all morning, at least I got something done this afternoon

here are two school dresses I made for Caitie:
First, her favorite; the twirly dress:

(the hem is straight, I promise; but there's so darn much of it it won't hang straight when on a flat hanger; and I don't want to post it openly on herafter earlier this week.)

and as the school mascot is the stallion, she had to have this "stallion" fabric for a dress: I'm actually pretty pleased with this one; I managed to cut and sew it in just under an hour (Thank you God for my ruffler and serger)

Tomorrow I'm going to the advanced embroidery/stabilizer class; here's hoping they don't kick me out

 

[PolyndianPrincessJes]

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!

THANK YOU!! Totally a compliment that you even commented! I was on a roll and didn't want to wait for the morning to get bias tape, so I just made some out of ribbon.

Those are really cute!

Thanks so much!

We'll keep an eye out for you. I've been poking around eBay, but I haven't seen the Snow White dress you had talked about a few months back (I was probably TotalSnowWhite then) in PMs. Did you already list it and I missed it? I'm very observant like that.

Great job! You will be making more things in no time!

Thanks! I hope to have a lot more to post, especially with a trip approaching.

Those are really cute!

Thanks! You guys are so inspiring here!

beautiful work as usual!

Hi Karen,
It is always nice when I see your posts. How is the cricuit stuff going? I love love love your craft room. I have serious envy problems because it was so organized.

Cricut is good- I'm getting her fired up for some Halloween stuff soon to come.... and maybe a special thing here and there for some friends.

Organization can be learned! Need tips? I can maybe - probably help?!?!?

So- I take it that the bag is passed from person to person (like one of the fridges that get passed around) and people use what they need to and put something else in it's place?

 

[billwendy]

My Goodness some beautiful things posted today!!

Love Tessa and Sawyer!!! LOve the beautiful gowns!! April, love the outfit!!

Anyone else ready for the weekend??? Im thinking we are going to get rained out!! Cathy, what do you think about the shore?????

Hi! I'm really proud of you! You got out there and made stuff; and it's cute too!

hmmmm I have a 9 y/o the size of a 6 y/o

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!

that is too cool for school!

I'm so sorry to hear about your SIL; I'm looking forward to getting to know you here though. I'm so essited about you telling the kids; make sure to let us know how it goes.

Holy Moley that is unbelieveable. I'm totally serious, you should send a portfolio to Disney; you really could work in costuming.

 

[emcreative]

I have a little girl making her debut into the world in mid-October, God willing if all goes well. . . . j/k you don't have to sew for her

Hey! I asked AGES ago about getting to be Auntie! The Husband would thank you for quelching my "baby girl urge"!

 

[emcreative]

Anyone else ready for the weekend??? Im thinking we are going to get rained out!! Cathy, what do you think about the shore?????

All my days mush together so the weekend doesn't feel much different here! Whatcha got planned for your weekend, I think I missed it somewhere...

Just amazing. Beautiful.

And HeatherSue, I screwed up my multiquote but I love those Aladdin and Jasmine outfits, and also the new embroidery designs!

 

[*Toadstool*]

It is a wonderful discount When DH and I got married we wanted a honeymoon but couldnt afford one so when I told him we could get into WDW for free he said "I'm glad you told me that after we got marrried, I may have married you for your connections!" So we go several times a year and also get to spend time with my family. My family signs us in and the tickets are park hoppers.

That is awesome! That is great that your hubby is a Disney lover too. Mine is a hater, but I am trying to convert him.

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!

Yes.. sewing does feel like being insane sometimes doesn't it?
I love to go shopping alone. My hubby works 14/14 and is home all day when he is home, so I get to do it alot.

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.

Where are you moving to? I must have missed it.

Wow! These are gorgeous. I just love Tessa's!!! The sheer parts are my favorite. I know you said you had trouble with it, but I think it looks just right.

Now you know why I ended up adopting two!

I am starting to warm up to having or at least wanting another baby. Well I was.. until 3 people I know had twins. I am up for 1 more. I dunno about 2. I'm scared now..

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

I think it looks great! He(piglet is a he huh?) looks like he is mischievous!

Very cute! I love how you added the yellow buttons on the tops. That picture is just adorable!

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.

Oh my gosh!!!

That is sooo awesome!!! I need to lose at least 50 lbs before I could dress with my DD. I LOOOOVE your snow white dress. The velvet bodice is beautiful. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who envisions her in velvet. Is she like that in the parks? I have this picture of some celebrity dressed as Snow White that I love and she has a velvet bodice.



Okay.. Today was a good day for the sewing part of me. What did I sew you ask? NOTHING!! I got 2 new sewing magazines in on the same day! Sew Beautiful and Australian Smocking. Oh my goodness.. I am in love with soo many dresses in both magazines. Mostly the new dress in Australian Smocking!! It is a take on the Feliz which is one of my favorite patterns ever. It is soo gorgeous. I am looking for pictures online of it now, and if I can't find them I will scan the picture from the magazine.
