Lori if you go to Jennifer's blog, she lists stores on the right side which carry her fabrics. I just go to one of them and order!!! Let me know if you need more help!!! I think she may have a sale going to....check the blog!

thank you, yeah I was looking at the links.. My mom wanted to pick up some fabrics for me as a gift and she is not an internet person, so I was hoping to find some in AZ in person.. maybe I will just order some

A simply sweet for Epcot and Biergarten. I was going for a "German" look. The applique says "It's a small world" I CASED ideas from another dress I saw on here quite a while ago.

ETA: I did resize all of them. Hopefully they fix!

I hope you'll be posting pics of your studio- and I can't wait to see the autograph quilt you did- my DH wants me to do one for each kiddo on our June trip; I'm a bit scared as I am less than an expert quilter; I've made, let me thing, oh yeah, 1-and a half. But we don't want yet another autograph book, don't have anywhere to put a bunch of new framed pics, and can't do pillowcases because my DS has nosebleeds at least once a week. So I think I'm going to have to figure out the quilt thing. gulp. I think you said that you starched the squares and put stabilizer on the back? And used fabric markers? Is that right? If not, can you let me know what you did so I can try very hard not to completely screw them up?
Thanks!
Nicole

Nicloe,

I sent you a PM

Don't worry...I will definitely post pictures of my new studio! I'm still in the planning stages. I will be going from the bonus room above our garage (with the sloped ceilings) to the full finished daylight basement! My space will be about 3 times the size of what I have now and will also have its own full sized kitchen and giant bathroom. One of the rooms will become my little ones play room and tv room. Of course the biggest thing in there will be my long arm, but I should have enough room to add an embroidery machine. (this whole idea started because I told hubby I wanted an embroidery machine and he told me I had to find a place to put it first!)


Back to photobucket to see if the pictures will upload....after my 4th try...sigh...

Whew! It's been pretty slow on here all day, so I thought I would help it along. I have a number of outfits finished, I just needed to take the time to put them in photobucket!
We're headed to DW Dec 5-12, 9 adults and 1 little girl. Of course, as you all know she must coordinate with our daily plans!! She's only 16 months so she's really easy to sew for and my fabric goes a long way (except with the feliz!!) Here's what I have done so far. All appliques are "by hand".
Feliz for the GF beach photo shoot. I got this idea from the dress like this from the Sew Beautiful Magazine someone posted a while back:

This is an outfit for Magic Kingdom: (patchwork skirt and CarlaC's raglan)

A simply sweet for Epcot and Biergarten. I was going for a "German" look. The applique says "It's a small world" I CASED ideas from another dress I saw on here quite a while ago.

Dress for MVMCP. I modified CarlaC's a-line top and totally guessed on how to make a skirt similar to the one LisZoe has shown on here.

A simply sweet with patchwork skirt. I used Jham's idea for the patches, making each rows 1.5X the size of the previous. Makes it really easy to gather by hand!!

And, finally, not Disney, but CarlaC!! I made her portrait peasant dress and added a sash for a wedding we went to. I also made the petti for underneath it (I'll use it at Disney too). It needs to be shortened a bit, so that goes on the list.

Thanks for looking!! I'll post more as i get them done! I have 18 days left (4 of which I'll be out of the country!!!)!!!

Those are all great. I love the beach dress, those will be some cute pictures. I love looking at all the Christmas outfits since we are planning a trip for next year.

Well, I've finally finished a Christmas dress (or skirt) for each of the 4 granddaughters that can walk

A Vida for the 4YO:

back:

My first precious dress:

and a patchwork twirl for the dgd who is about a size 6 around, but a size 10 in length--I didn't want to chance a dress when she's in Kansas and I'm in Washington! (no elastic in the waist yet, going to Joann's in just a bit)

and full circle view:

I've now tried 3 of the patterns I wanted to practice before 12/10's trip to WDW--can't wait to see these on the actual granddaughters!

CUTE!!!

Ok, here goes. I think they uploaded right.

This is the Autograph quilt for my DIL's nephew. He is 18 months and went with us to WDW back in September. He has been living with my DS and DIL since July and is going to live with his mother in a halfway house for Moms that have had drug problems. Mom has been clean and sober for 2 months now and the boys (9 months and 18 months) are going to live with her tomorrow.

I used the autograph squares that were signed onto freezer backed white print fabrics. On this one they were signed with fabric paint pens. The other fabric squares were leftover fabrics used to make their Tshirts and the girls' dresses. I used primarily the fabrics from Animal Kingdom in an attempt to make them not too girly.

While I am at it, I think I will try and post a picture of the infamous Tree Skirt. It didn't come out exactly like I wanted it, but they were happy with it!

OK...back to sewing!

I just love the aoutograph quilt idea! How did you do it? Meaning I don't understand the freezer backed paper. I would love to make one for my daughter!

 

[Camping Griswalds]

DISER FRIEND HELP NEEDED!!


Does anyone have good clipart for the Princess and the Frog movie? I want the animals. Or is there a machine design out there? if so, can I have links please???

All really cute, but I love this.

Love it. I think I will be able to start my first VIDA next week. Right after I finish my first Olivia.

We just got back from our fabulous 8 day vacay to WDW and I just HAD to post the FABULOUS custom the wonder ibesue made for my DD.
I adored it and got so many compliments on it! Even Cinderella herself took the time out to compliment my DD on how beautiful it was!

Great job Sue.

And your DD looks so cute.

I know I haven't posted in ages, but hopefully a few people will still remember me. =) Tons going on, like lots of projects at work, our DOG was stolen (and found), ttc and no luck, and now dd is super sick. Anyway! Here are some photos of things I've made recently:

Mickey and Minnie gingerbread shirts, made four of the Mickey and three of the Minnie:

And a Rabbit shirt, from Winnie the Pooh:

I have more, but can't get photos to upload to photobucket.

Very cute stuff, and I cant believe you made your DH's shirt at the last minute. It looks great.

 

[tricia]

Great job.

 

[NiniMorris]

I just love the aoutograph quilt idea! How did you do it? Meaning I don't understand the freezer backed paper. I would love to make one for my daughter!

Simple...just make your squares of white on white fabric, then take plain old freezer paper (the kind you get in the grocery store), and iron the 'plasticy' (actually is waxed paper on the back) side to the wrong side of the fabric. This gives you the stability needed to be able to sign the fabric. You can either use fabric markers or fabric paint pens. The fabric markers give you a smoother 'line'. Then, just make sure you have a small clipbnoard for the characters to bear down on. I used plastic bags to store them in. One for signed and one for unsigned.

One thing I would do differently is to mark each signature with a date and place. I have 5 Mickey Mouse, and don't remember which one was from which place! One the girls' I am wanting to use fabric from the dress they were wearing at the time they got the autograph!

You can actually iron on the freezer paper and then cut out the squares, but I cut out all the squares and then ironed on freezer paper squares to that. I didn't want to mess up my good scissors with the paper cutting...but I doubt it would have mattered that much!

Let me know if you have any further questions. It really was a fun project!

The Dorothy costume that I ended up making a pattern for:

On Violet:

AND I had to make a costume for DH, VERY last minute! He somehow "lost" the storebought costume and told me so an hour before we had to leave. I scraped together every single piece of fake fur and tan felt in our house to make his costume, lol! If I find our whole group photo, we also had the Wicked Witch, Tin Man, and Scarecrow:

And a Rabbit shirt, from Winnie the Pooh:

I have more, but can't get photos to upload to photobucket.

Love your Mickey/Minnie ginger breads!!! So cute! Your Dorothy is so cute! You did an awesome job on your DH lion. Love Rabbit too!

Hope your DD recovers quickly!!!

Not to discourage you from the quilts but....last year my DS had the characters sign a T-shirt.

Love this idea & your quilt came out beautiful! I am thinking of trying this for our Dec. trip. What size squares did you use (prior to sewing them)?

Nini - that is a beautiful tree skirt! i love the playful design on it!

That is a great idea! I love your quilt. I wish I had known about this before we went. Maybe for next time. While on the subject of little "short cuts"...do you do t-shirt quilts and is there an easy way to stabilize the t-shirt fabric before sewing onto the quilt. What do I back them with? Any other suggestions? I hand-quilt a lot but have never done a t-shirt quilt and a friend has asked me to make one.

I think I started with a 7 x 7 . I wanted to trim them to a 6 x 6, but some of the characters signed into the 'edges'. Next time I will use masking tape to define my seams! LOL


Now, I've REALLY got to get off thei computer and get to work!!!!!

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Thw quilt is great - we signed pillowcases this past trip - it was our first autograph trip. Our next trip will be one pillowcase for Evie. the older 2 DD did the pillowcases on the last trip.

 

[sweetstitches]

Congrats!

Happy Gotcha Anniversary! What a sweet baby.

Awe! I love babies! Happy Gotcha Day!

Theo was an absolutely adorable baby, and I bet he is handsome as ever at 6! Congrats to your whole family!

Congratulations!

Awww, thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks everyone.


Theresa, I hope Lydia is feeling better today. I haven't read all the posts yet, if there's another update.

These are not Disney related but I thought I would post what I have been working on since we returned from Disney 2 wks ago.
This is the front of both...

and the back of both...

and a close up o

f the back John Deere.
Now that these are out of the way, I can get started on my first Feliz (making 2 for my DGD's for Christmas photos)

Your overalls are fantastic! Great job!

I just started sewing for profit. I am in the beginning stages of trying to get somewhat of a business started. I started selling appliqued Turkey shirts with names underneath. I ended up selling 42 shirts!!!! I didn't plan on selling that many!!! Each shirt takes about an hour and a half. Plus you can't walk away cause the machine will eat the shirt right up - I think it wants turkey too! So anyway I am swimming in applique turkeys and I have a 7 mo old. It has been hard and a lesson learned. Sell shirts with simple appliques!!!
I have 10 more to finish as soon as possible. That doesn't even include ones for my kiddos. Poor things - they may not get a turkey shirt this year. Oh well. Sorry, I am excited about the business but I am a tad overwhelmed at the same time. Do any of yall feel that way sometimes?

Congratulations on starting your business. How exciting!

Here is what I have been working on - The "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Knot" handbag from YCMT. I used photo fabric instead of fat quarters for the main panels and I LOVE it! This is the prototype for my Christmas gifts for my mil, gmil, and aunt-in-law - the hardest part was doing the topstitch through four layers of stuff, so forgive that part - I am hoping to do better on the next one! I have wanted a photo bag of the kids for so long, but they are just so expensive - this is a great alternative!

What a great gift!

Here is the finished Jacket for Evie - I put ricrak and a button Mickey on the front to finish it. Evie really likes her jacket. She was giving Pluto kisses today.

and the back again I didn't do anymore to the back though.

Love the additions.

All I have are these pics...but here ya go!

Those are better!! That outfit is so pretty!! I love the green and purple together!

Hi Everyone! I have been here lurking...Big things for us. A job change, we moved (again) and the girls are both very busy with activities. I have been busy sewing. I don't remember if I posted this set or not...if so..sorry.

Is anyone making any planet 51 stuff?..the movie comes out soon...groan..

Wow, it sounds like you have had a lot of big changes. I hope everything's going well for you. Love the Grinch outfit!

WOW and WOW!!!!! Those are both fantastic!! You did such a great job on the appliques and on the shirt! Wow!!

Is anyone on her going to WDW in January? I'd love to meet and share some things Our dates are 1/23-1/30 at BLT.

I wish!! I am really itching to be planning a trip. Alas, I have no idea when I'm going back.

Happy Gotcha day!!!! He was such a precious little baby!!!

Those are so sweet!!! I especially love the "Got Dirt" overalls!!

That is such a cool idea! I love it!!!

The ric rac and buttons were the perfect touch!! I love this jacket!!! You should just be able to post it to my facebook fan page. But, sometimes facebook is touchy and won't let you do anything!

Has anyone used satin with flannel backing? I found a princess/castle print and thought it would make comfy easy fit pants. I've never used anything like it so I didn't buy it because I didn't know how easy it would be to work with.

I made Tessa a nightgown out of it and I was surprised at how easy it was to work with. I loved it!

My jaw literally dropped when I saw that gorgeous white dress!! WOW!!! I absolutely adore it!!!! Everything it perfect! I especially love the It's a Small World outfit! Wow!

Okay - do you guys think this stitched out right? Did I do something wrong? It was done on a 4x4, which I asked the person if it was possible for me.....Do you think Pilgrim Minnie looks mad? and how the face peach color doesnt touch the black sides? What should I do?

Also, is there anything special for taking embroidery stuff out? I stitched something on a sweatshirt UPSIDE DOWN!!!

I'd just like to point out that this isn't my design!
It very well could be that you are putting it on a sweatshirt and that's throwing off the lines. It does look like maybe the designer resized everything except for the eyebrows. They don't look like they're lined up right with the eyes. But, that could be a stabilizer thing, too. It's really hard to tell. I would suggest putting it on a piece of cotton fabric and then appliqueing that onto the sweatshirt. It also looks like you're supposed to put white fabric behind the hat portion. HTH!

 

[HeatherSue]

Everything looks wonderful! I especially like the ruffle butt vida- very pretty!

We just got back from our fabulous 8 day vacay to WDW and I just HAD to post the FABULOUS custom the wonder ibesue made for my DD.

I'm sorry to hear about your dog!
Your costumes all look GREAT!! So does the Rabbit applique!
The gingerbread appliques look very familiar! Great minds think alike! Here are mine. I haven't put them on anything yet, though.

This just sounds so neat to me! And really inspiring. My daughter just got into the autograph signings last trip. We have a bunch of character meals planned, so it would be great to do for that! What size squares would you reccomend?
