We must have just missed each other, we were in Epcot on the same day! That outfit is sooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!

Emily

Oh were you in customs? I don't know that we saw any customs, except one day a girl was getting off the bus to go to DHS as we were leaving. I would have loved to have chatted!

I still haven't made the childs version, but I guarante I will buy the big version!

I have my Babylock Ellageo Plus sitting in the box in my dinning room. I am afraid to open it. I am in awe of the things it can do compared to my regular sewing machine.

I do understand. The new machine sat for a week before I had time to even start. Enjoy, read the manual, play and also take pictures. We want to see the new baby.

Here is another that has Daisy on it.

Mickey and Pluto are on the sides too. Just kind of hard to see in the above picture.

Oh, found a better one. I made two so flipped where the characters were on each dress.

I am just lovin the pattern and the dress. You have mad skilz! What is the pattern and do they make it for adults? I like the back of the bodice the best, how is it made?

Thanks for all of the compliments on the kids costumes and the get better wishes. I really am sick of being sick right now! I woke up last night just knowing that now I also have a UTI...so back to the DR! I am going to tell him to give me something STRONG!

Sure hope you are feeling better soon. Rest and take care. We are going to SWW this year and the link is perfect.

I try hard to keep up with this thread, but sadly..I am behind again! Anyway, this is the latest projects that I have been working on...some of you may have seen this on my facebook page..but here is a disney princess cuties outfit that I completed yesterday - designs from our very own Heathersue!
Front:

Today is also the 50th day of school for my Kirsten. All the 1st graders were asked to dress in the 50s attire.

DS didn't want to be left out of the pictures:

I love that skirt and what a great idea by the school. The princess cuties are so cute. Wow, those with girls really have so much to make.

Ladies who are busy sewing for many different people and would like portraits of your stuff, contact me if you need some photography work done. This isn't anything I'm charging for, so I think it would be okay to post?

If not, please slap my hand, Teresa, before the disboard gods do. But I'm thinking since I'm just offering to help and not asking to buy or sell anything it's okay?

That's so sweet of you to offer that!

I'm not sure what is worse...all the police cars, GBI agents and the like...or all the news media...it is a SMALL neighborhood....an even smaller cul-de-sac! Those tv satellite turcks have t a l l masts!

You think they might be able to get one more in here?????




(and that is not even the worst thing that happened in our small town today. A three year old was mauled by a pit bull. He is not expected to make it! I think it is time to hibernate!)


nini

Oh my gosh, that is terrible about the little boy being mauled by a pit bull!

My parents sent us to Maui for our honeymoon. I chose honeymoon over big wedding. I did look at the link you posted. Here are my criteria for a place to stay somewhere in Hawaii:
1. really big jacuzzi tub in the room
2. NEW.. the newer or newer renovated the better. If its new I figure I have a good chance of a good mattress. I have a bad back and have had too many vacations ruined by a bad mattress!! I either try to find a new hotel or something super nice.. IDK why but Hyatts and places like that always have nice mattresses.
Okay, I admit it.. I'm high maintenance.

Definitely going to look into Kauai more now. I hadn't really heard much about it before. Going to read your trip report thingy that TeresaJoy posted too.
Here is my favorite place we have stayed on a weekend getaway.
http://eurekaspringstreetopcottages.com/
Maui was definitely a better place to vacation, but this place was better for um.. other stuff. All of the stuff we did as far as site seeing and all that was better in Maui for sure though. I did not like our room though. I guess it is pretty bad that I am so worried about my mattress and my hot tub..
We are going back to the treetop cottages in January, and I am so excited about it.


What is wrong with sock monkeys and sock monkey blankets?? You are so weird.
I have a beautiful sock monkey quilt.. would you like to see it??

I appreciate the need for a good mattress! I am the same way! I need to sleep on vacation, and sleep well! That treehouse looks like so much fun! The house we stayed in had a really nice mattress and it had 2 hot tubs! But, that was 7 years ago, so who knows if it's changed since then.

I was told that the safest neighborhoods were the ones with a dealer on the street, because they won't deal to people who bring trouble to their front doors and they also make the buyers leave the property ASAP. I have to say that since this family has been living here there haven't been any police cars pulling into this side of the complex and there hasn't been any issues either. I'm not saying that having a dealer is a good thing though. I hope he gets caught so that that mess isn't on the streets.

Hmm...that's an interesting theory! If the dealer is cooking meth, it's not too safe because he could blow up his house and yours at a moment's notice. Or, if he has an angry client, they wouldn't care about his "rules"!

I have my Babylock Ellageo Plus sitting in the box in my dinning room. I am afraid to open it. I am in awe of the things it can do compared to my regular sewing machine.

OPEN IT UP!!! GET IT OUT!!!!

Here is another that has Daisy on it.

I think this is my favorite one! That is GORGEOUS!!!

Wow, is that ever a pretty dress!!! I love it when you post lots of pictures. But, I must ask what you did to make your little angel cry??? Huh??? I love seeing a picture of you, too!! How cool is that?

That princess dress makes me so happy!

I love the 50's outfit, too! You did a great job on that!

Carla's blog says her adult version of Easy Fits will be out within the next week. I think I am going to make PJ bottoms for my brothers for Christmas.

I can tell you this, they are just as easy to make as the kid version, and OH SO comfy!!!

Oh my "angel" was having a moment of quiet reflection on her life


I love flannel lounge pants, so I am hopeful these come in Pooh size patterns. Or I could lose weight.....yeah like that is gonna happen!

Quiet reflection, huh?

The pattern is for XXS- 3X! I'm so excited about this pattern!

The pattern can even fit pregnant ones.

JESSICA - WE ARE AL DYING TO KNOW WHAT PATTEN YOU USED!?!

can you please tell us? I too really like the way the back came out. I am just guessing but it looks like the back is made withrows of elastic instead of shirring? I have done that & it was much easier.

I will get my Babylock out very soon. But probably not til Saturday. We have only one overnight nurse in our pediatric ER - me. So I have been working extra - not that I mind the money but the extra time is making it hard to spend any family time together and my now 4 yr old has had 4 pee-pee accidents this week. Right in front of the toilet! She keeps waiting SO LONG before she goes that by the time she gets upstairs to go it is coming out. And she doesn't go as soon as she gets up unless I remind her all the time. I am getting very frustrated that I fake threatened to stop taking her to ballet class. Not that I would stop taking her. But we chatted and I reminded her again that she needs to not wait til the last minute and she needs to go as soon as she gets up in the morning.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Has anyone done Dinning Ressies online? Can I still call for the length of the trip and get all my ressies made?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Crap, Crap, Crap!
I did an iron on for the wish family and it looks like dust all over the right side!

What caused this? How can I make sure it doesn't happen again. The shirt was clean, the paper perfect but it is ruined!

I am going to the city on Monday to get a new shirt. Crap.

 

[tvgirlmin]

Busy Mommy - I LOVE your customs! So cute! You did a great job!

Jessica - The dresses are AWESOME!

Heather Sue - Thanks for the Hawaii link! Will definitely check it out during the kiddos naptime later. My favorite place to stay (when I am not at my house) is Kilauea Mountain Campground on the big island - they are actually little chalets, not campsites. It is a military resort right on the volcano and such fun - I really recommend it to any military folks out there - its really affordable and you just can't beat waking up on the volcano!

Love looking at everyone's stuff - hope to have something new to show you all soon!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I forgot to attach Maddie's Thanksgiving Day outfit. She is napping right now, so I don't have a picture of her wearing it. But I am not about to wake her.

Maybe I did it right this time.

This is really cute! I still haven't bought that pattern you made the shirt with! I need to get it!

Anyone got any cute Daisy ideas? Daisy is dd's fav but I don't see too many customs with her. Maybe I am just not looking in the right places. I have seen some safari designs...but we don't usually do Animal kingdom.

i made these 2 years ago before I knew how to sew or applique:

these are what I made this year for our trip in september:

Thanks to my police officer husband, I know there are meth houses all over our nice, "safe" little village. In fact, there was an explosion in a car in the library parking lot a few weeks ago where someone was cooking meth in their trunk! It's unbelievable! Sometimes I wish I didn't know about all of this!

That's the danger of having a police officer for a DH - you know too much! It also makes shopping for houses hard!

Ladies who are busy sewing for many different people and would like portraits of your stuff, contact me if you need some photography work done. This isn't anything I'm charging for, so I think it would be okay to post?

After all of the horrible things my DH has seen with those kind of dogs when he's on duty, he won't our girls anywhere near them as well as some other breeds and he really likes dogs.

This is amazing! I bet your daughter loves it!

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

well did my ressies on the phone - online wouldn't let me do more than one day. But I got everything we wanted! Even CRT! I am taking a friend of mine and she wants to eat in CRT "if possible". Well we have a 805am. I have never been in the castle that early before! If the calendar is predictable there will be early EMH that morning. SO what time is EMH in the morning usually?

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Sadly, I still haven't posted pics of my halloween outfits because my DH put them on his computer, but I have pics of a christmas outfit I did this week. The girls had their pics taken at a photography studio today where they did a christmas baking set with the girls decorating cookies and things wearing these outfits and some chef hats. It was super cute! I am going to use those pics for my Christmas cards this year.
The front:

The pants:

The hairbows (which weren't seen because of the chef hats) They have a candy cane button in the middle which are hard to see because of all the ribbon:

Both of my girls:

And just cause I thought this was cute :

Now I need to work on thanksgiving outfits! I guess I am going backwards!

EMH is usually 8 AM for a 9 AM park opening. If your ADR is at 8:05, be sure to arrive by 7:30 or 7:45 so you can be let in BEFORE the EMH guests and get a few shots on Main Street before the crowd pour in! If you are staying on site and eligible for EMH, I would see if you can change to 9:30 or 10 so you can play in the smaller crowds a bit before eating.

As for online, there are still some kinks to work out. When I did mine this summer, it let me into those extra +10 days for several days, then for some reason, a few days later it wouldn't. No reason... I was doing it all the same way.... just the kinks....... It's a thing of beauty when it works!

I'm a complete beginner here with very limited experience, but I want to learnall I can. Can you awesome ladies guide me in the right direction. What sites/blogs are good for beginners? I read alot of you talking about Carla's blog, but I have no idea how to get there (can someone post the link). I am also interested in doing appliques and monogramming. Any advice?

Thanks,
Melanie

Sorry! I was off sewing and didn't really check back in! Good think I didn't go a couple of days like I do sometimes!

I used the adorable criss cross top or dress from YCMT. The back is 4 pieces of elastic. I am a shirring failure! Just can't get it to work! I loved the elastic back.

It also looks much better on! Dallas did try it on for me (it was the first halter I ever made so I had to make sure it fit) and he was being funny but I'll spare you'll those pictures! Much cuter on 2 little princesses!

I did the appliques by hand. Goofy is always my least favorite to do but I can't imagine doing him on the machine. I have no patience for lots of little parts and lots of colors!!

Thanks for all the compliments ladies! I have a few more dresses I'll share soon! I am always a few months behind in sharing it seems.

I LOVE the candy cane outfits!! Too thoughtful!

ETA - I only used the bodice part of the pattern. The bottom I did based off of Carla's Simply Sweet!

Yes! Happy that you got all that you wanted. We are 3 weeks, 2 days from making our ADR's but I need park hours.

Melanie, It has already been said, try a Calra C pattern from youcanmakethis.com and Welcome! It is addicting.

These are what dds wore (when they had customs on)

I didn't see too many customs when we were there either.

Emily

Emily, I love your customs.
