We saw aksunshine briefly at the Fireworks dessert party and another disboutiquer at Chef Mickey's. Sorry, don;t know her name, but she has 3 children a daughter and 2 boys named Tristan and Logan I think. That was all I saw all week for customs!

That was me that you met at Chef Mickey's, We met aksunshine at EPCOT, Now I need to post some photos but we just got home last night. You guys and AKsunshine were the only customs we saw as well. I love the test track and the woody is soo cute.

Shannon...yes, I saw the Ariel you made, but unfortunately...I was told it had to be the Princess Dress or nothing! Of course both girls want to be Tink for Halloween... but DIL and I are going to use the Scallopinni skirt to base it on... It is so much fun having a sewing partner in crime! (DIL)

Eagerly awaiting your next magnificent creation!

I picked up some seafoam fabric today. Don't know when I'll get around to it, but I'll let you know when I have time to make it!

Stepsisters Help Needed!! After seeing Taylor's Stepmother/Stepsisters Vida for 1900 Park Fare, my dd has informed me that she NEEDS one too!! With a little more than 2 weeks left If anyone has a link to coloring pages for the stepsisters/stepmother I would really REALLY appreciate your sharing the link. I searched for a while but found nothing helpful.

Thanks sooooo much!!

Does anyone know if there is a cinderella blue bird applique/ patch out there on the internet that can be ordered? My DD really wants one on her pink cinderella dress, but this is the one applique (I do them by hand) that I can't get to look right and I just don't want it to mess up her dress. Oh, I should mention we are leaving in a week!

SERGER HELP PLEASE!

I just bought a Brother 1034D and signed up for a serger class. Got to class, got my machine threaded, tried to serge a chain... lower looper thread snapped. Tried again, same thing. Tried again, same thing. I literally threaded, unthreaded, and rethreaded this stupid machine 40 times in two hours. The instructor tried too, no dice.

Did I just get a lemon?? So many glowing reviews online for this machine, and I know some of you DISer ladies have the same machine... help! Should I just return it and get another? Or is there some little tip or trick I don't know that would make it work correctly? Or should I just acknowledge that I'm hopeless and give up completely????

One small silver lining... if this one is just a lemon and I replace it with one that works, I will no longer be intimidated by the prospect of threading it... I've now threaded the darn thing so many times I could do it blindfolded!

I think maybe it is a lemon, especially if the instructor couldn't get it to work either.

Lately, I have had such a craving to return to WDW. I know it really is not in the cards with the new baby arriving and Lauren starting Kindergarten next Fall. The next Disney fix will have to wait until Spring 2011 and even then it will probably be a visit to family in Southern CA with a trip to DL tacked on.

Disneyland can be fun......

I finished Cinderella this morning!

So C U T E!!! I saw it on facebook and just love it!!

Claire at Stitchontime has it.

Wow! That's a lot of great stuff. I the B&B feliz! And that bag you won is gorgeous.

I just bought my first Christmas gifts for the year!

I ordered the Cinderella's Castle Playset from the Disney store online.........does anyone else have it? And I also got the Cinderella castle lego set......does anyone have any of those? My girls have always really liked legos but they don't like the different sets they have for kids their age. They all seem like they are geared for boys. I know some of them are more gender neutral but they don't want them. I am hoping they will like this!

If you are talking about the playset they sell at WDW, we got it for DD last Christmas. She loves it.

I finished Cinderella this morning!

This is great!

FInally got pictures of my Alice set!

I know there are a LOT of pictures! Have not shared in a LONG time so I figured I would just take care of a lot with one post lol

Thanks for letting me share!

Welcome home. I have to apologize for not being very talkative. I was feeling yucky! Got home and had a double ear infection.

I see you got an answer, but Heather also put one on her dress and could maybe help you out.

Candice, LOVE your knit customs. Wish DD was a little younger and could wear those.

Everything is adorable! I was just wondering what pattern those hoodie knit dresses are? They are too cute! I've never really worked with knit.

 

[candicenicole19]

Thank You!

 

[candicenicole19]

The Knit dress pattern is the Olivia under dress by Farbenmix It is super easy and so much fun! So many different ways to do it! Thank you!

 

[Sweet Pea UK]

I am really really new to this! Hoping that my Mum is going to help me get started or I can enroll on a course. What I am really looking for is a pattern for a pillowcase type dress. (Although one where I don't start with an actual pillowcase so that I can use fabric I like!) Or some type of similar sun dress. Nothing too complicated. My daughter will be 8/9 when we go next year but she is very petite so I don't want anything to "frilly" although i wish I had found this thread a couple of years ago when we went!

I look forward to hearing from all you experts and hope that somebody can point me in the right direction xx

That was my set The stepmother was from clip art but the stepsisters I kinda made myself. I'll see if I can find the clip art of the Stepmom for you. Check disneyclips.com for clip art - it's probably on there too.

Calling all machine embroider-ers!! (is that a word?)

I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried sewing their embroidery stabilizer scraps together to make one big continuous roll to re-use??

The thought has crossed my mind more than once, because my scrap box is heaping over and driving me crazy. I never throw away a nice size scrap. Yet, I find myself almost never using a scrap piece because I'm a little bit of a control freak about not filling the entire hoop. No piece of scrap ever seems quite the right size to completely fill the hoop. Know what I mean Vern?

Anyone ever do this? I'd love to read the pros and cons...my biggest worry is this isn't going to be worth the time, but I'd sure love to re-use these scraps too!

Just got back from a quick weekend trip and look who we ran into!

Stacy saw us in line and we got to sit together in the laugh room. Jackson and Megan really hit it off and I wish we could have spent more time together. We had to get back home right after that.

We also saw this in the back lot tour at the studios. I tried to snap as many pictures as I could. I yelled, "slow down!"

Megan and I spotted this in Walt attraction:

Look what we found in England! Megan made the cutest face so I had to get them.

I tried to make a charm skirt like Shannon's and it ended up a little short but it was good on a hot day:

And this is Jacob walking in "slow motion" like they do in the dramatic scene of a movie. We were getting in line for mission space (green side, please!).

I was thinking of doing a mini-trip report but I think I just covered all the highlights, lol! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Claire at Stitchontime has it.

I should have told you that I don't have an embroidery machine. I was looking for one already done that I can purchase.

I've never considered this. I just throw the pieces away. I don't feel like I have a big enoug space to store all of the stuff that I have (yardage wise) and keep scraps under control as well. SO, scraps usually go in the trash. Certainly with stabilizers & such - often times with fabrics as well. Unless it's big enough to cut out a bodice, I usually toss it.

It looks like you had a GREAT time! Don't you just love that back stage area? I wanted to hop off the bus and take a good look around and maybe look over the shoulder of some of the cast memebers fortunate enough to work there!

Cute! The pants for the ALice are to die for; love the knit customs; I'm still scared about knits, are they as bad as I think?

(Although one where I don't start with an actual pillowcase so that I can use fabric I like!) Or some type of similar sun dress. Nothing too complicated.

Welcome!! check the bookmarks on the first page, there are some good tutorials. Another place a lot of us get great patterns from is www.youcanmakethis.com they are ebook patterns and you print out the pieces you need (it's easier than it sounds.) The easiest to follow, imho, are those by carla c. you can just search her on the site. the easiest things are probably the simply sweet, the easy fit pants, and the aline, but none of them are too complicated. You Can do this, I promise!!

As long as scraps are long enough to cover the hoop in one direction, I will use them over and just overlap them. I find it works best with well starched cotton. I learned this tip from the instructor at my stabilizer class.
