And you said you were in a slump!! Very cute!

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Thanks guys Y'all are gonna make me blush via cyberspace

It felt sooo good to have people feel that her dress was superior to store-bought and the princesses really made a big deal out of it (even though she wouldn't say one single word to them). Our bellman told her "I see hundreds of Princesses a day, but you are prettiest and most elegant I have seen in a long time. I mean that."

She was so proud that everytime in EPCOT she saw something pretty, she would say, "can you take my picture over there?" I never intended for her to wear it both days but when she woke up she asked if she could wear it again. She said "I like it when people say how pretty my dress is". She would never speak to any one of all those people, probably hundreds who spoke to her over 24 hours (even though I said "say thank you" 10,000 times) but each time she stood a little taller and smiled a little bigger. To be able to give her that was worth every dime the trip the cost and 1000x more......now I'm teary eyed. And, for the 300th time.....I owe it ALL to you guys, each and every one of you, for encouraging us beginners and giving us your work to aspire to.

This brought a little tear to my eye!

I haven't been able to post lately, but I wanted to share the quick costumes I made for my son and a teacher at his preschool for their Thanksgiving Feast and play on Friday. Please keep in mind my son was the gray pilgrim, and that is why he is dressed differently, and I had a weekend to complete the turkey costume.

Great job on the costumes, they turned out cute! That Turkey costume is amazing, it looks like a lot of work!

When DD wore her Cars dress last week, she told me a day or two later "Hannah doesn't like Cars, she like princesses, can you make me a princess dress?" I told her I don't care what Hannah (a girl in her class that she has told me several times about, always something negative) likes, what matters is what YOU like. I would love to make her a dress out of princess print fabric, but not for that reason. So, do I make the dress or not? I guess I could but possibly wait a while to give it to her. I don't want her to think she needs to dress according to someone else's rules. She's 3!!!

Also, not Disney related, but here are the A-line and ruffled easy fits set that I made for DD for Thanksgiving:

I love the Thanksgiving Outlet. Sounds like someone is envious. Maybe you should make the other girl a princess dress?

Finished up another one! Only 2 more and a petti to go!!
This is a Vida for Animal Kingdom. I love the Lion King! I'll put Pumba on the other leg eventually. The appliques on the Vida were done "by hand" The Timon (and Pumba) are machine.

Thanks for looking! Everyone have a great - short week!

Jessica

Wow those appliques are beautiful! What a beautiful dress!

Okay, I finished the 9 pairs of flannel easy fit pants that DD(GoofyG) cut out yesterday. I also finished 2 other pair of easy fits to finish up one outfit for each of the DGD's for our Disney trip. At least I finally feel like I've accomplished something. I can scratch these off of my to do list.

Love the pants! Those Christmas outfits are adorable. I want to get that snowflake design it is really pretty.

Here's the pillowcase tunic I threw together for my DD to wear to school today. They're having a "Thanksgiving Feast" and she had picked out this fabric for something for school.

Gobble Gobble! That is cute! Are you joining her at school for the Feast? Have a great time if you are.

 

[NiniMorris]

...so...am I the ONLY one that got goose bumps when she saw pictures of clothes hanging in the ROOM????

I think I might have to print that out and put on my refrigerator! Talk about a way to keep me motivated for our trip in Feb 11!!

[MinnieVanMom]

hoop sticky stabilizer, put robe on the sticky, try to pin the robe in place, water solvy on top. Good to go!

Thanks friends for the help. They are store bought so no scraps but I had read water on top so the stitches don't sink. I will float the robes. I didn't know to pin. I have a bunch of choices for Alphabet on the machine and frames so I just have to pick and get er done.

 

[tricia]

That is SO CUTE! Really worth the effort to make those special dresses, wasn't it? AWESOME!


Ok, I've finished up a few things that I wanted to share.

First, for a big give.

This was for my DD to wear to church today. I ran out of time and didn't get to stitch this out in the way that I had hoped. But I was determined to use the smocked insert. I knew I could stitch up a simply sweet really quick so I ended up doing this last night. She loved it and we both received several compliments, so I guess it ended up ok.

Great job on the Big Give outfit. The girls are going to love them.

The Simply Sweet is more than just OK, it is great.

I am feeling chatty tonight so I will post some pictures of the stuff I did for our recent trip.

Shirts hanging up in the room

Great job on everything. I think it is more rewarding sometimes when DH, or one of the older boys loves the stuff I make. Sometimes little ones are too easy to please.

I haven't been able to post lately, but I wanted to share the quick costumes I made for my son and a teacher at his preschool for their Thanksgiving Feast and play on Friday. Please keep in mind my son was the gray pilgrim, and that is why he is dressed differently, and I had a weekend to complete the turkey costume.

Great job, and the Turkey looks awesome.

When DD wore her Cars dress last week, she told me a day or two later "Hannah doesn't like Cars, she like princesses, can you make me a princess dress?"

I don't want her to think she needs to dress according to someone else's rules. She's 3!!!

Also, not Disney related, but here are the A-line and ruffled easy fits set that I made for DD for Thanksgiving:

Kids.... it is terrible when they are so judgemental at such a young age. My DS12 just recently stopped wearing Disney shirts to school. He now says they are weekend shirts.

Finished up another one! Only 2 more and a petti to go!!
This is a Vida for Animal Kingdom. I love the Lion King! I'll put Pumba on the other leg eventually. The appliques on the Vida were done "by hand" The Timon (and Pumba) are machine.

Thanks for looking! Everyone have a great - short week!

Jessica

That is awesome. The applique is gorgeous. I am so excited, I am going to buy fabric for my first VIDA this weekend as I think there is going to be a members sale at my fabric store on Thursday.

Okay, I finished the 9 pairs of flannel easy fit pants that DD(GoofyG) cut out yesterday. I also finished 2 other pair of easy fits to finish up one outfit for each of the DGD's for our Disney trip. At least I finally feel like I've accomplished something. I can scratch these off of my to do list.

OMG, 9 pairs. I got 1 pair done this weekend.

Add me to the list of people who love the snowflakes down the leg. It looks great.

Here's the pillowcase tunic I threw together for my DD to wear to school today. They're having a "Thanksgiving Feast" and she had picked out this fabric for something for school.

Looks great. She will be the hit of the feast.

 

[teresajoy]

Teresa/ Heather.... I love the video. That is priceless. Heather was that Tessa in the Cinderella gown?

The little girl sitting down? That wasn't Tessa. I don't think you can see Tessa in this video. Her outfit was gorgeous though!

I am feeling chatty tonight so I will post some pictures of the stuff I did for our recent trip.

Shirts hanging up in the room

This picture was taken after we got our hair fixed at the barber shop.

We all shirts to go with DH's Jack Skellington shirt we wore them on our travel day down to Disney but unfortunately I don't have a picture. I had Sally, DD wore Jack Skellington and DS's shirt had Zero. The designs stitched out really nicely. I need to get a picture.

I love the pictures!!! That last picture makes me smile! I love the sticker on your daughters' chin! That is so something my kids would do!

She would never speak to any one of all those people, probably hundreds who spoke to her over 24 hours (even though I said "say thank you" 10,000 times) but each time she stood a little taller and smiled a little bigger. To be able to give her that was worth every dime the trip the cost and 1000x more......now I'm teary eyed. And, for the 300th time.....I owe it ALL to you guys, each and every one of you, for encouraging us beginners and giving us your work to aspire to.

Aww, that made me cry!

When DD wore her Cars dress last week, she told me a day or two later "Hannah doesn't like Cars, she like princesses, can you make me a princess dress?"

Cute!!!!

I was going to say the same thing as Shannon about the Princess dress. Have her pick out the fabric, and if she picks out Princesses, then go with it.

Finished up another one! Only 2 more and a petti to go!!
This is a Vida for Animal Kingdom. I love the Lion King! I'll put Pumba on the other leg eventually. The appliques on the Vida were done "by hand" The Timon (and Pumba) are machine.

Jessica

Jessica, that is wonderful!!! Wow!

Okay, I finished the 9 pairs of flannel easy fit pants that DD(GoofyG) cut out yesterday. I also finished 2 other pair of easy fits to finish up one outfit for each of the DGD's for our Disney trip. At least I finally feel like I've accomplished something. I can scratch these off of my to do list.

Wowza!!! You have been busy!!!! Have you slept lately????

Hi all! Remember me? I have been so busy lately I can barely even lurk! I am sewing some. Making the kids Thanksgiving outfits. They are turning out cute...sorry to say you guys probably won't see until after Turkey day!

We have been running so much lately...Katie is playing basketball now. That is a new thing for her. She thought she wanted to try something new, but I never knew she really knows nothing about the game. So she is learning as she goes. Her first game is tomorrow night and she can't wait.

Do any of you take Zumba classes? I am taking it at my YMCA and it is so much fun and man does it melt the pounds off! I am going 3 times a week now and LOVE it! I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a fun way to workout. It takes a while to get the steps, but once you do,,,FUN, FUN, FUN!

Anyway...I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. I am again thankful for all of you guys and all you have brought to my life. I am thankful for the chance we have all had to help others with our Big Give and all the support we all offer each other. I am thankful for all of the kind words and prayers I recieved this year after my Granny passed. I am thankful we have been able to welcome new bundles of joy into our group and look forward to seeing the others to come! Thankful for all the new "members" of our addiction and can't wait to see how many more we get this next year! Have a good one!

Hi Kim! You are so sweet!

What is Zumba? I've never heard of it. I'm all for anything that makes exercising fun!

Here's the pillowcase tunic I threw together for my DD to wear to school today. They're having a "Thanksgiving Feast" and she had picked out this fabric for something for school.

It turned out great Shannon!! You are on a roll!!!

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

What is Zumba? I've never heard of it. I'm all for anything that makes exercising fun!

It's kinda like aerobics and dancing set to mainly Latin style music. The website tells you some about it http://www.zumba.com/us/ and will let you search for a class in the area. I love it at our Y...we have so much fun and it doesn't matter if you know all of the steps. I just got back from our Monday morning class and there were about 50 of us in there (we have to have it in the gym) ranging in age from probably 25 to 71. On Tuesday nights we have even more and Katie gets to go with me. Then I go again on Thrusday nights.

Hi ladies. I have been lurking on this thread since well, two threads ago. I am a beginner to intermediate sewer. I just love the work that you all do and you have inspired me to start sewing again. I learned to sew in High School and later sewed for my children when they were young. Just the basics, sun dresses, elastic waist pants etc. I became a Grandmother about a year ago and would love to make outfits for my Granddaughter. I really want to learn to appliqué!
Anyway, I have come out of lurking to ask your opinions. Today on HSN they have an amazing Singer and I was wondering if anyone has an opinion. Is it worth the price? It looks like it does it all and you can break it down into payments. I am really leaning towards ordering it but I don't want to spend $1000.00 on a machine if you think I can get it for less. Thanks for your opinions/help and please keep posting your projects, you are all so inspirational!

Mary

Hi Everyone

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Thanksgiving outfits! That Abbygrace is just ADORABLE with a capital A!!!!!

Also, love the snowflake pants - those outfits are so nice!

Okay - so I was working on a pilgrim Mickey Minnie shirt for me, and my good ol machine ate my shirt - my cousin got it out for me, but popped the hoop,so it got unhooped! I thought I lined it all back up and rehooped the stabilizer (thanks Teresa for my tack down stitch) exactly where it had been, but when I go to restart the stitching, it doesnt look lined up at all!! Is there anything at all i can do besides scrapping it? Boo Hoo!

Also, whats the best for picking out machine embroidery (little upside down boo boo) and why wont my PED Basic see all of the set of Happy Thanksgiving words I bought from Heather - just the Gobble Gobble!!!!

Thanks, Wendy

PS _ any black friday shoppers out there? What are you looking for??????

 

[dogodisney]

The little girl sitting down? That wasn't Tessa. I don't think you can see Tessa in this video. Her outfit was gorgeous though!

No not the one sitting down. That one looks nothing like Tessa.

It was the girl standing behind yours on the left. She is blonde and was wearing a mini tiara.

 

[Tinka_Belle]

I guess I am lucky. My DD knows what she likes and tries really hard to like what she likes.(No matter what Mommie thinks LOL). She has never been a Hannah Montana Fan, she prefers Princesses and Tinkerbell. She loves her AG dolls and is basically happy being who she is. She prefers "Mommie sewing" over store bought (Store bought never fits right lol) We have had more than our share of mean people and she is learning to deal with them. But for the most part she is just happy. She likes to be around people.


to all the little ones who are dealing with "meanies".


On a side note, her "style" must be catching on-they just opened a store at DTD JUST for her it is called "Little Missmatched" LOL

Poor Morgan!! She is too young to learn to just deal with those kinds of people!! It is a shame that little Morgan knows better than these other people. Well at least you know that you are raising her right.

Adi, Love the picture of Isabelle!

Lovesdumbo. That is CRAZY I like Pooh and I am no baby! I agree with what others have said kids need to be kids! Nikki is 10 and still loves princesses and stuff. Ok so she doesn't wear the princess stuff unless it is weekends or at WDW because she wants to be cool but I will take what I can get!
Friday was hat day at school so Kyle wore his new Mickey ears where the ears have the Mickey shorts and hand all over them and apparently some BRAT( I say brat because this kid has been a trouble maker for 2 yrs and he has earned the right to be called brat!)this brat started picking on him for wearing Mickey Mouse club house ears! My girlfriend was helping in the class and heard it ad told the kid that these ears where WALT DISNEY WORLD ears the kid you get wen you go to wdw. then told him how she though Mickey Mouse club house was cool. Thankfully the little brat dropped it but poor Kyle didn't want to wear his ears for the rest of the day. So she took Kyle aside and told him quietly that the little boy was probably jealous since Kyle just came back from WDW and Kyle was ok with that.

These kids are in 2nd grade frankly they should still e watching Mickey's club house!

Kids should be kids not little adults!

I still like Mickey Mouse Club House!!

Heather-That video is hilarious!! The girls looked so cute in their dresses. Teresa did a wonderful job on them.

I wanted to say that I love those patchwork jackets and I really need to get my booty in gear and make one for Jenna. Everytime she sees one of those on here, she tells me how that would be the best jacket ever!! I think that I will surprise her with one this week.

The Belle dress is gorgeous!!

The Lion King Vida is cute!!

I don't want to leave anyone else out. Everything was so cute!! Just because I didn't comment specifically doesn't mean that I didn't like it. I promise!!

I did want to say that Jenna has had to deal with her fair share of being picked on. Sadly enough the worst of it has come from my aunt. She is super jealous of my talent, (I am guessing). She will find something wrong with anything that I make for Jenna, her or anybody else.

I was shocked on Friday after school. I had made Jenna a long shirt dress for school. Well Friday was Jeans day at school, but she wanted to wear it anyways with her jeans. I thought no biggie, Girls do that all the time. Well, when Jen got home she told me that everyone loved her dress, but the substitute took her to the principal's office, because she felt that what Jenna was wearing was not "in uniform". Well the principal knows that I sew some of Jenna's uniforms, so for her it wasn't a problem. I will be glad when Jen's regular teacher comes back.

So....I had to share a few pics from the trip...and thanks again guys for giving me the strength to think I could do this

twirling at the GF

This is just too awesome! I am so glad she finally got to talk to Belle.

This is awesome!! I know it made your day and theirs!

Love the video. What a great experience.

That is SO CUTE! Really worth the effort to make those special dresses, wasn't it? AWESOME!


Ok, I've finished up a few things that I wanted to share.

I knew I could stitch up a simply sweet really quick so I ended up doing this last night. She loved it and we both received several compliments, so I guess it ended up ok.

I love them both. The big give will make someone very happy. What an awesome thing to all of you that do the Big Give outfits. I hope when life slows down just a tad after Christmas, I can become involved as well.

Also, not Disney related, but here are the A-line and ruffled easy fits set that I made for DD for Thanksgiving:

Super cute! I love the fabric.

Finished up another one! Only 2 more and a petti to go!!
This is a Vida for Animal Kingdom. I love the Lion King! I'll put Pumba on the other leg eventually. The appliques on the Vida were done "by hand" The Timon (and Pumba) are machine.

Jessica

Just out of this world! I absolutely love your appliques.

Okay, I finished the 9 pairs of flannel easy fit pants that DD(GoofyG) cut out yesterday. I also finished 2 other pair of easy fits to finish up one outfit for each of the DGD's for our Disney trip. At least I finally feel like I've accomplished something. I can scratch these off of my to do list.

Wow....9? You are fast!

Hi Everyone


PS _ any black friday shoppers out there? What are you looking for??????

Yes, yes, yes!! Can't wait. My grown daughters and I do this every year. We have had some of our most memorable moments @ 4 a.m. in past years. My sister told me "you know you can buy all of that stuff online @ midnight for the same price?" I said "what is the fun in that?"......haha!

 

[Tinka_Belle]

PS _ any black friday shoppers out there? What are you looking for??????

The only time that I enjoyed going shopping on Black Friday was when I went by myself. I went one year with my aunt and my grandma and it was horrible. All my aunt wanted to do was shop for herself and me and my grandma didn't get to get the things that we wanted. This year the only thing that I am looking for is Chixos. I'm not too crazy about them, because I know they will end up in the vacuum, but Jenna wants them. The only other thing that I have left to buy is the Molly doll from AG and I am buying that online. Does anybody know of any good deals for the AG dolls?

 

[NiniMorris]

Hi Everyone


PS _ any black friday shoppers out there? What are you looking for??????

We are planning our Thanksgiving Day feast around who gets the newspaper...my DIL and I have been on all the Black Friday sites since October. I made my husband take a day off work so he could watch the kids!

After Thanksgiving meal, each person is assigned a different color marker and they mark all the things they want. Of course, that is no guarantee that is what they will get, but it gives everyone ideas.

We started doing the Black Friday sales back in the late 80's. Of course then it wasn't anywhere near as good as it is now! My DIL and I make a day of it, ending with a great leisurely lunch, then we each go home and clean up the mess the kids and men made while we were gone!

I don't really have a shopping list yet this year, I should have something down pat by Thursday evening! (wink wink)

[froggy33]

GORGEOUS!!!! I am currently finishing up Tusker house outfits. Just need buttons on ds's Bowling Shirt and have most all of dd's Vida to complete. I love your Lion King theme. Awesome appliques.

Thank you!! I knew immediately that I wanted to do Lion King in some way. I am really surprised more people don't for AK. You'll get yours all done!! And if not, who cares - we'll be in Disney!!!

WOW!!!! Stunning! Love all the fabrics you used.

That is fabulous! Your applique skills are great!

Love, love, love, love, love, this!!!!!

Wow those appliques are beautiful! What a beautiful dress!

Thank you all!!

That is awesome. The applique is gorgeous. I am so excited, I am going to buy fabric for my first VIDA this weekend as I think there is going to be a members sale at my fabric store on Thursday.

Thanks!! The VIDA is really easy I think - I follow Stephres tutorial that is in the bookmarks. Good luck!!

Jessica, that is wonderful!!! Wow!

Thank you!!

Just out of this world! I absolutely love your appliques.

Thanks!! I think of them as the way I paint or draw - they really are fun!!

AG has a free shipping code thru tomorrow for 100.00 purchase.

 

[Diz-Mommy]

Since I'm not writing a trip report for our October trip, I'll post this video on here. This is what happened when Drizella saw Arminda in her Drizella dress. Then, when Anastasia saw Lydia in her Anastasia dress.

It was GREAT!!!

THAT IS SO COOL!! We were just there on the 13th, and I saw two little girls dressed up like the sisters too!! I'll kick myself for not saying hi if that was you guys! Was it!?

WOW!! Beautiful hand applique

Lovely use of Heather Sue's snowflakes!! Sweet little outfits!!

I love the top!! Your little girl has the cutest little grin in every picture I see of her

 

[Diz-Mommy]

You can take it as a compliment. Maybe the things are so well made that the receiver thinks you bought them.

My DD(15) who can be critical told me she thought I bought the Cinderella Gown that I made for DGD. It was her way of giving me a compliment.

I was thinking the same thing...maybe she was looking for a size tag? I tend to do that when MIL gives things to my boys.

 

[Diz-Mommy]

I love the bowling shirt!! What a QTpa2T you have there too!! I'm gonna hafta remember to make the boys those next time. We did a lot of tie dye this past trip. I'd love to show them off here, but they aren't really sewing projects
