Need help please!

We leave the 23rd !!!!!!

I really want to make a quilt with the characters autographs.

Someone on here did it, and used freezer paper?

What type of fabric pens did you use?

What size should I make the squares?


Thanks!

Hi! I did this for our trip, just haven't put it together yet. I am pretty sure I did 4.5"x4.5" squares. I used white fabric, cut them out and then cut out the same size freezer paper. I ironed the freezer paper to the back of each square and they were ready to go. I don't remember the exact brand of marker I used, but I think I got them at Michael's by the fabric paint. I got a pack with 5 different colors in it. You want marker pens, not brush pens.
I brought along a little clip board for them to write on.

The only bad part about this is that the characters for some reason always seem to print right on the edge. When I go to sew Mickey's, I will cut off half his name!! I don't exactly know how I will fix that but, I'll figure it out.

Good luck!

I don't live 1/2 hour from one. The closest one is 8 hours away. But if I am within 1/2 hour of that one, I must go.

Okay..that makes more sense!!!!

I know a lot of you have seen these on Facebook already, but I thought I'd share here too

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, our friends asked Arminda and Lydia to be in their wedding and wanted me to make the dresses. So, here are some pictures:

The girls with the bride and briedsmaids:

Arminda on the right demonstrating the fantastic twirl factor:

Arminda after lots of dancing:

Lydia with the groom, Joey, the man of her dreams. He had just snuck up behind her.

the girls danced and danced and danced!!!!! Lydia was SOOOO tired!!!

After I took that picture she got up and danced some more!

As a secret special touch, I added this heart (designed by Heathersue of courese!) to the front of Lydia's dress:

it says, "My heart belongs to Joey"

and there are lots more pictures on Facebook if any wants to see even more!

Thanks for all of the help. I also found it in TJ's bookmarks. I was thinking if I made the squares 6" by 6" and stretched them between a small embroidery hoop, that might make the characters stay in that circle? And then i wouldn't have to worry about the signatures on the edge?



My next question. Eye Spy or I Spy Bags. Didn't someone "cheat" and use a pencil bag? What do you use as filler? Rice or beads?

 

[Camping Griswalds]

I put the directions in the bookmarks, but I'm not sure it answers your questions.

You leave soon!!!! Have a great time!

Too funny, we must have been posting near to the same time! I found it in the bookmarks, and it was helpful! Yep Saturday we are flying and i am so excited I can barely sit still!

Thanks!

Use the Marvy fabric markers. I made the squares 6 inch square...and if you add a border of masking tape, it will help keep the characters from going over the borders.

Every one else is right. Regular freezer paper...

pm me if you need any specifics!

Good Luck!

Glad to be back ladies, we just got back from our trip. We had a great time, great weather and great food. Temps were right at 70 while we were there. Crowds were so light even though it was MLK Day weekend. One night at Epcot we got on Soarin' in the stand by que in less than 15 mins!

That isn't the most amazing thing either...SIL didn't want reservations because she said her 1 year old was too unpredictable so I only booked 1 reservation for Story Book Princess Dinner. So, SIL was grumpy so I started calling trying to get us in places for over 2 months and they told us that everything was booked for the whole trip for a few resteraunts we wanted. The first night I could never get us together so we agreed to split up. They went to Germany and we went to Tokyo Dining. They said that half of the Biergarten was empty and when we were in Tokyo Dining there was only one other table being used the entire time we were there! So next night at Norway they were turning people away left and right while we were waiting to be called in. Inside there were at least a quarter of the tables empty our entire meal. Soooo, the next night we decided that since everything was half empty we were just going to go crazy and try the unthinkable....Canada. Would you believe that on Saturday night, MLK Day weekend at 6pm they had an opening for 8! and at least 1/3 of the tables were empty.

Anyone else thinking that this whole reservation system needs some TLC?

I am not happy with my customs this trip...I will get some pics up later.

Glad that you had a great trip!! I personally think the problem with the ressie system is that there is no accountability, meaning anyone can make a bunch of ressies under different names and then not use them with no consequences. It ends up blocking out tables everywhere and then on the actual day they end up going unused because the people don't cancel and don't show up. I have a "friend" who makes a different dinner ressie at each park for the same date & time this way she is covered no matter what park she ends up at. So somehow those other 3 ressies go unused. It is reallyl unfair and frustrating. I honestly think you should have to old every ressie with a credit card this way people are only taking them who might actually use them & they also would have to cancel them outright instead of just letting them go unused. That is my rant for the day

Okay, all of you singer owners...can you please help me out? I really want to order some thread for my machine (the ce-150). I want to get some prewound bobbins but it doesn't say anywhere in my manual what size it needs. Does it just take the normal size bobbins?

Also, for those of you who buy prewound bobbins, which ones do you recommend...the paper sided, plastic sided, the sideless?

I would really appreciate any and all help so I can finally get started!!!

I bought some plastic sided pre-wound. I'll go get them later and see if I have any more info. I have a futura also. They work great.

totally different


That is so gorgeous Jeanne!

Thanks! I think that petti of Jayden's is my favorite petti we own!

the dresses are great and the girls look beautiful! You should be really proud. How funny if she ends up marrying a man named Joey and she can have this as her hanky

Thanks for the help! i actually have some fabric markers left over from a previous trip. i will take them out and see if they still work and if they are Marvy brand! How many squares did you cut and how many did you actually use? I'm thinking 50? I also think I am going to have each of us sign a square and have a dated square to remember this trip. Probably our last as a family of 5!

Do we need to strap you down?

You will soon!

I think I made about 50 for each of us. I don't think we used but about 30 each. If you get multiple of one character, you might want to write the date and place on the back... like Chef Mickey's on Monday...helps to identify later. We ended up with about 6 Mickey's each...I used some of the fabrics from the girls dresses for the alternating squares.

We made one square with the date, and one saying something about Happy Birthday. I'd have to look to see what it said.

Good luck!

I'm not really sure why it was offensive for me to say "fancy, not like an altered Simply Sweet" but clearly you were both stung. I want to apologize and say it was not my intent. My daughter sees that as an everyday dress because she has several so while I think it is perfect, she feels she needs something fancy and unlike what is in her closet. ....and misunderstandings like this are why I should just stay a lurker....

I think that your statement may have been taken in an insulting manner simply because it is single handedly the most used pattern to make princess dresses in this group. Many of us that have been posting on this thread for more than two years have reproduced that pattern to be every princess ever known. Many of them for our children, and many of them as requests for customers. There have been dozens upon dozens of requests on these threads for explanations of how to "princessify" the simply sweet pattern to obtain a certain princess look. Many of us have discussed this on these threads over and over and over again trying to make sure that everyone knows exactly what to do to make the perfect "dressed up simply sweet" dress for their desires. It has been created in silk, satin, calico & organza. It has been worn by 100's of thrilled little girls who thought their dresses were absolutely beautiful. To top that all off, the dressses are cool, comfortable and washable. SO, to say that you desire something "fancy, not like an altered simply sweet" really does state that those 100's of dresses that have been created and posted here just aren't quite up to your standard. That, I'm sorry, could be perceived as an offensive remark.

Could you put the block on a scanner and scan the signature in then shrink it on your computer, print it out and use it to trace a new, smaller signature?

I REALLY want to try this sometime!

I prefer Target tshirts - but if Target is out, or doesn't have the color I want, I use Old Navy or Wal Mart.

The dresses for the girls are absolutely beautiful! The special heart was such a sentimental touch. She will never forget that little touch, and I am sure neither will the bride and groom.
