[luvinyou]

Has anyone seen this fabric or know what it is called? I am in desperate need of some!

Well I found the name, Organic Euro Swirl Knit Fabric by Mad Sky, but of course it is out of print and HTF. Cheapest I have found it for is $24 a yard.

Hey does ANYONE have PE Design 8? PLEASE HELP ME get started if you could? I cant import any bmp or jpeg files, and Im supposed to be able to, right????

I have Palette 8 which is the same thing. When I can't get something to import I open LayOut and Editing and make the window it's in smaller. Then I open the file that has the image I want and I shrink it to a small window. Then I click and drag the image over to L&E. This has been working for me recently. I don't know if it's right or not but it seems to work.

I know some of you here just love sock monkeys- target has in the adult pajama section a bunch of sock monkey sleepers complete with sock monkey feet.


They also had Ralphie's Aunt Clara outfit (the bunny suit) for you christmas story fans.

DD needs a turkey dress she says and a friend has ordered two complete christmas outfits. Guess I am just going to force myself to go to the fabric store.

Have you tried looking on Etsy? I know many sell fabric there.

We just returned yesterday but I don't have all of my pictures uploaded so I will just start with day one and two....more to follow..
These are the customs I made for our dinner on the first night @ Chef Mickey's.

Your outfits are really great! You clearly y put a lot of work and love into them!
I especially love the tiered top you made for your younger granddaughter. Did you use a pattern? I've been looking for a top with that neckline/"sleeve" combo!

Thank you. Yes, I did use a pattern...McCalls 5306. It was pretty simple.

 

[Granna4679]

WOWZA, those overalls are AMAZING!! Nice work!!

Thank you...

Those customs are awesome- EXCELLENT JOB! Your DD is beautiful as are you GD's. And what a sweet SIL you have! there is no way on this earth my SIL would wear anything I made him! I think yours is a keeper!

Thank you....they were all good sports. We had a lot of fun with this idea.



This is so much fun!! I'm going to have to try this.[/QUOTE]

Super cute!!

These are just the cutest ever!!!! Fantastic!

So, so, so, so, so, cute! And there are never too many pics!




Where are the pictures of you in your Peter Pan overalls?? What great sports your family is!! The outfits are so cute!!





Oh I LOOOOVE this set!!! The Fox and the Hound was one of Heather's favorite movies when she was little. She would have loved this as a little girl! Actually, I think it was her favorite record, she had one of those read along with me books. "You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear tinkerbell ring her little bell like this..."

You are very sweet. Thank you! I wish we were BACK at Disney.... It's only been a month, but I'm going through major withdrawal here! I hope you had a great trip!

Thank you all for your compliments. I had a huge wedding for my younger daughter in May. We had spent months planning and planning...the day after the wedding was over I started customs for my granddaughters and a few orders for other friends and family and all in all I made around 35 outfits in roughly 20 weeks. I was worn out and a bit burned out, but it was all worth it. We had a great trip. I am ready to get started on Christmas dresses and outfits now.

KAREN- I thought of you while out shopping today! I found sock monkey fabric. You know how I feel about sock monkeys, but since they reminded me of you, it made me smile!

Wow! I can't believe someone didn't dress their kid as a sock monkey for Halloween. This was an oppurtunity missed.

I should amke a quilt quilt in honor of the revered sock monkey and it should be a gift for our Teresa! I know she'd just wrap that baby around her and snuggle with it in those freezing Michigan winter nights that's coming up.

What do you think teresa? Care to snuggle up with a sock monkey?

Oh ??! Sock monkey jammies huh?? That'd be WAY easier then makin a quilt! And MUCH snugglier too! They'd even cover your little tootsies teresa!

LOVE that Ralphie movie- it's a classic!!

I have never seen Belle in Disneyland in her christmas dress shes usually outside by the castle in Yellow dress even during holidays .Only time i saw her in red is on cruise ship.

I don't know about D-Land, but in the World, she's still in her yellow. It's a big deal to meet her in her Christmas gown, and that's only at MVMCP. So I think you'll be fine!

OH...Thank you...Thank you...Thank you!!! Whewwww!

Here are some pictures from tonight's Zoo Boo. We were lucky that it got rained out on Thursday and Friday of last week, so they did it again tonight to make up for it. That worked out for us, since Jenna only got to do 30 mins worth of Trick or Treating on Saturday night. Anyways, Jenna wanted to be Tinkerbell from the new movie. It took me a couple of days to get it done due to all of the pieces that she has one.

Here she is with Cruela. Cruela is laughing because I told Jenna that she wouldn't hurt because she doesn't have any fur.

Here is the best pic I have of her wings.

Jenna was so proud of her costume. She was telling everyone who she was. Only one person knew exactly who she was.

 

[emcreative]

She looks awesome, you did such a good job!

 

[*Toadstool*]

That is such a cool shirt. I want one for next year.

They are both adorable!

Thanks for the compliments on Jenna's shirt. You guys are too kind. I can't wait to see the AK dress. The points on the dress weren't my idea. I borrowed from someone else. I think it was someone from here. They made a skirt with the same black and white fabric and spider web fabric. I wish I could have made it a little longer, but it can't be seen as a dress or they might call me about it.

Ugh.. I hate the public school uniform mandate. I'd be so upset having to send Hannah to school in the same thing everyday. When I was in high school is when it went into effect(that will show you how young I am). I made myself several different styles of khakis pants and jumper dresses. It drove the teachers mad because I had stuff that was different than everyone else. I made sure to follow all the uniform rules though. I'm very excited to not have to be searching for khakis pants and polo shirts to send Hannah to school in. I know it must annoy you as much as it annoys me because you sew. I had such fond memories of wearing my mommy made clothing to school when I was a kiddo.

I think most of you saw my pictures of the Bo Peep costume I made on Facebook, but here it is in case you missed it.
I hope I don't get thrown out for making the non disney version.
Hannah and I both love how it came out. I wasn't thrilled with the smocking, but didn't have time to rip it out and fix it. Her skin tone and dress colors are too light so they kinda blend in. I was very pleased that everyone knew who she was when we went trick or treating. Oh and I have to mention.. this pink fabric is so yummy! It is a swiss voille something. I love it. It is so soft.

I couldn't bring myself to cut off any of the fabric. I have this pretty scallop edged swiss embroidery to put on the bottom. Maybe I'll do it when she grows a bit.

Gorgeous fabric. I can't even fathom buying it for $24/yd though.

I might need to go to Target now.

Great Snow White costume.

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

All of your customs are adorable (as are your little ones). We had the same problem last week. Never had the right outfit on for the right character greets...but it all worked out fine. Your pictures are priceless.

Thank you so much!

Our second full day was spent in Hollywood Studios. Mia's favorite movie is Fox and the Hound so I made these overalls for her...again, I didn't get a picture of the back but they had puppy paws and the words "we will always be friends" appliqued on them.

And Wendy wore her Winnie the Pooh capri overalls...

I hope I haven't put too many pictures. I will try to upload more tonight and post a few more days tomorrow. We were there 9 days so it is taking a while to get them all uploaded to photobucket.

Wow! Your overalls are really amazing! Your characters are just perfect!

We were in WDW the end of Aug and first week of Sept. and it has taken me this long to get caught up. If I were to comment on everything beautiful It would take another month. We had such an awsome time and a lot of the special magic was because of the custom clothes. I appreciate all of you so much, I have a great new hobby that I really enjoy and my DD loves it too!! Than you all so much,
OK enough gushing, on with the customs and costumes. These were for fall and Halloween, not the trip. I am posting those in my trip report.
Here is the pumpkin patch dress that she wore every chance she got

This is the petti skirt I bought from Aimeeg, she just craves chances to wear it!!!

This is fabulous! Love it!

Ok.. here is so more Disney customs from our trip... I'll get them all posted someday... hahaha

Jessica did the appliques for me, but I did the actual construction of the outfits...
So sad that they wore them for a day only... we will not get a chance to wear them again.

These are great! So different!

This looks just like her! You did a really great job! That must have been a lot of work!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I was so disappointed...I went to Wally World yesterday to get some fabric and get some of those really cool colorful boots you have all been getting for your girls and they only had like 4 pairs left and none in my girls sizes! I was so bummed! They also didn't have any gingerbread fabric or anything like that for the baking set my girls are going to be photographed in on Thursday. So I went with some candy cane fabric. I will post pics when I get it done. I really need to get moving because they have to be done by Thursday morning.

Have any of you made a skirt out of the rudolph or snowman fabric they have there that you are supposed to use to make a book out of? I was debating about buying that yesterday too, but didn't. If you have made a skirt or something out of it, can you please post a pic of it?

 

[tricia]

Has anyone seen this fabric or know what it is called? I am in desperate need of some!

My local fabric store has a ton of cute knits right now, I will check for you.

Awesome job. She looks great.

Really nice. The smocking looks excellent. You are too critical of yourself.

Cute.
