Anyone who has signed up for the YCMT newsletter should recognize the purses that I made for her. This was also a first for me and surprisingly easy.

And finally the outfit I cased from Anita. A simply sweet with easy fit pants that I am sending to my Granddaughter for Valentines day.Thank you Anita!

OK now to stop procrastinating and to go finish the bowling shirt that I started this morning. ~ Mary

Great stuff, I made 2 of those purses for my mom too. They did go together rather nicely, but, now my mom has the problem of too many purses, and can't decide what to take out with her most days.

Well, here is a pic of my DD in her Saints Super Bowl dress I made her yesterday!!!! (Actually it is a size 1 toddler top LOL)

Very cute. Bet she was happy with the result yesterday.

Hi all. Been busy lurking & sewing. Everything I have seen has been so adorable. I am going to try to comment more often.
I did manage to get Valentines outfits done for my girls & Sierra's bday outfit (she just turned 7). Here are a few peeks at them:
Sierra's outfit (she is my cupcake cutie)

Morgan's valentines outfit

Sierra's bday outfit had to be Pinkalicious:

Will try & get some pics up in a few of them actually trying them on.

All Great, the embellished jeans are adorable.

I posted these outfits a few weeks ago but finally got some action shots of her in them so I wanted to share....
My DGD5 in her twirl skirt and shirt I made her for her birthday present.

and I just love this picture of her...

And a picture of our friend's little girl in the Precious Dress I made for her birthday

The twirl shot is great, I really love the twirl skirt and the portrait peasant together like that. The Precious dress is just adorable.

It was me who recommended the jalie pattern...here are a few pics of dd's leotards. I love this pattern and have used it from size 2t-5t so far.

Here is most of them piled up. The back ones are all gymnastics leotards. I cut the pattern at the waist, added a seam allowance and inserted the flounce skirt for the hot pink one so she could use it for dance class. I just traced the bodice pieces into one front and back piece instead of the two colored bodice.

Jalie has lots of dance, gymnastics and skating outfits. I have heard from many people though that their ballet leotard pattern is very high cut though...so I used the gymnastics one for everything. I have even used this pattern as a swim suit with success. PM me if you have any more questions....I have made this about 15-20 times now with lots of variations.

Those are cute.

I am finally getting around to posting some of the things I made for our November trip. These were the first customs and appliques that I ever made, I think these might have been the first clothing items I have ever made for my kids! Thanks for all your inspiration and advice (especially HeatherSue's applique tutorial and CarlaC's patterns).

I also made my daughter some matching scrunchies and korker bows for her hair that you can see in some of the pictures.

Ariel skirt and shirt. My daughter wore this to MK for a visit with Ariel

A princess themed twirl skirt and with a shirt that had an iron on T-shirt transfer (I bought these transfers from the Disney store, on clearance, about 2 years ago for our last trip). My daughter wore this to our princess breakfast in Epcot:

My kids wore these to Chef Mickey:

My kids Christmas shirts (I made them put these on a few times during our trip in hopes of getting a picture for our Christmas card, of course when ever they had them on there was a lack of cooperation from either the camera or my kids. Go figure. We did get a good picture of them in front of the castle but not in these shirts):

They wore these to Epoct. My daughter did lots of twirling in this skirt:

Sorry the pictures are so big.

Awesome stuff, never would have guessed they were your first clothing creations.


Also, Loved the Tinkerbelle Feliz, and the Fancy Nancy outfit. And I thought the outfit for the music teacher was just adorable, especially loved the bloomers, just the right touch.

I have been able to find time to sew about once a week, so I'm getting some things done, slowly but surely. Had to take a break around Christmas, so my sewing room could be a guest room. My flannel easy fits for adults were a hit, with some family members wondering how I got them to fit so well. (secret: Carla C's height charts) Here's what I've done lately.

Her response: "But I wanted a Mickey dress!" (Yes, dear, it's on my todo list)

DS loved the safari bowling shirt and appliqued safari Donald!

Corduroy A-line--very cute and a departure from the usual girly colors

Appliqued chef's hat and matching apron to go with her birthday present--a play kitchen--many hours of blissful play. She also used this set for nursery rhyme day at preK, "patty cake patty cake."

Birthday simply sweet with one for Sally (her itty-bitty baby) too. I thought my applique turned out well. I used Heather Sue's tutorial and Heat-n-bond lite and sulky stabilizer, amazed at how well it went. I do my appliques "by hand." DH's grandmother has an embroidery machine, but it's an estranged relationship--so it's not like I can just drop by and ask to use it.

I have a list of customs I'm making for our upcoming trip, so more to come...

Everything is great. I really like the Bowling shirt and love the fabric on the A-Line.

Has anyone had a problem getting their links from YCMT? I have purchased several times from them and always get them the same day. I purchased 3 patterns on Friday and the money has been sent from PayPal but I have not received the email with the links (nor or they in MY LIBRARY on the YCMT site). I have already sent them an email. Any suggestions or has anyone had this problem?

 

[twob4him]

Thanks Tricia...I tried to fix the link...hopefully it will work now.

I am so impressed with everyone's creations. I just backed up a few pages and they are all sooooo super cute!!!!

When I purchase, the links are immediately available right from the page I purchase from. I don't get a separate email. Hmmmm. Not sure what's going on for you. Hope you get your patterns....SOON!!

 

[NiniMorris]

On Friday, I wasn't able to get an order to process...I just took it as a sign that I shouldn't get yet another pattern right now!

Maybe, because it was the last day of their sale, there was a glitch in their system. Hopefully they will get back to you quickly!

Thanks. I usually get mine immediately too but for some reason it didn't work that way this time. Nini- you may be right...I have left a phone msg and sent an email. Hopefully, I will hear back from them today.

 

[Mom2SamandJames]

To those of you who have already sent my Dad a card or picture, thank you. I left my list at home this morning so I can't say who all it was. My dad absolutely loved the Goofy picture holder, the sweet picture that a child drew for him, all the cards, and the information about New Jersey. Thanks so much!

I hope you get it worked out and a quick response. I can only say that the one time I had an issue they never responded to emails or phone calls.

[mommyof2princesses]

Kim - you are in my prayers. I hope everything is going okay.

I haven't been keeping up the last 2 weeks, been busy and then been lazy. I have looked back and love all the new customs! I also love the leotards. I never thought of making them! I might have to try that pattern! Be cheaper.

 

[Stephres]

I love the leos. Exactly what I'm looking for! THANK YOU! Looks like I'm buying that pattern. Uh oh. A regular pattern.

Sorry Chantall, I can blame it that I was coming down with something and not fully paying attention? But those leotards posted ARE cute! You can do it from a regular pattern!

I did manage to get Valentines outfits done for my girls & Sierra's bday outfit (she just turned 7). Here are a few peeks at them:

back bottom of her pants

I'm finally not so scared of ripping the seams out of jeans to embellish them.

Sierra's bday outfit had to be Pinkalicious:

back of pants

Will try & get some pics up in a few of them actually trying them on.

Love the valentines outfits but my favorite is the "pinkalicious" outfit...so cute.
I can't wait until I can get an embroidery machine so I can do all of this instead of hand appliques.

Sorry I haven't been here; things have been difficult with my dad. His amputation was Fri. morning, but they couldn't schedule it ahead of time so I wasn't able to be there. Fri. night his duodenum perforated and he had to have another emergency surgery. He's back in ICU, restrained again because the meds are making him try to pull everything out again, and we're praying for healing, pain relief, and for no infection to set in to the abdomen.

I am so sorry that it has been so difficult for your dad. Praying this week goes better and things start setting down for him (and for you).

I am finally getting around to posting some of the things I made for our November trip. These were the first customs and appliques that I ever made, I think these might have been the first clothing items I have ever made for my kids!

Cute outfits!! I bet they were just precious in them.

Both outfits and girls are nothing but adorable. I love the colors in the patchwork twirl skirt!

Thank you.

I have a list of customs I'm making for our upcoming trip, so more to come...

Really cute outfits....love the matching outfit with the baby doll.

Wow..so many gorgeous customs posted since the beginning of the thread! I think I am just going to admit that I am no good at keeping up with this thread...welcome to all the newbies as well, and prayers said to all who needs them.

I don't have anything to show, and probably won't for the next few months. We are putting our home up for sale..it's not on the market yet, but hopefully will be in the next 2 weeks or so! My sewing room is all packed up, and the house is filled with boxes..movers will be here on Saturday to move some of our belongings to storage. So it has been really busy and stressful around here! On the bright side, I will have my very own sewing/craft room once we moved...and the room has a long narrow closet on one wall which I plan on putting shelves it and it will be perfect for my fabric stash! We are building a new home a few miles away from where we currently are...and they are estimating a closing date of end of March..but we are thinking probably in April.

And..just a little over a month until our next vacation to WDW! No new customs for the kids this trip..they will be wearing the same old customs from our trip last August!

I will try and check in here a little more often...but I find myself spending more time on facebook these days!

Yay for the new house. Can't wait to see pics of your new sewing room...congrats.

I hope you get it worked out and a quick response. I can only say that the one time I had an issue they never responded to emails or phone calls.

Eek!! Not what I wanted to hear. I really want the patterns!!

Very very pretty clothes! Where do you live?

Thank you. I live in NE Houston (Humble) Texas.

Hi everyone! It's your long lost friend here!
Anyway, DS wants to do his room in EPCOT theme and wondered if anyone had any fabric ideas. I know you all are up to date with what is out there right now. I did see this Alexander Henry stuff that is pretty cute. My DS is 4.5yo now so, I don't want to be too cutesy.

That is an amazing room!!!

Sorry I posted and then didn't respond sooner. I live where some of the big snow hit from this weekend. Our internet/phone was out. Or so I thought. Turns out the kids were playing hide-n-go-seek and knocked the plug out of the wall. And here I was blaming the 2 feet of snow outside!

Anyway, thanks for the responses to my leotard question. Unfortunately, the responses I received were for leggings! See what happens when you ladies speed read? Seriously, though, thanks for trying to help me. Now, does anyone have a pattern for leotards that they like? As I mentioned before, I usually use the You Can Make This patterns.

Thanks!
Chantell

I use a Kwik Sew pattern #2724, it's not a YCMT, I don't think there's one on there. It goes together really easy, you don't need a serger. Someone else a while ago mentioned Jalie patterns, but I'm not familiar with them. I may try it when we outgrow this one.

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

Kim - you are in my prayers. I hope everything is going okay.

Is is cheaper, especially when you can get the lycra on sale. Because you have to buy the amount for the length, the 60" that the fabric usually comes in most of the time you can get 2 leos out of it. Our gym has a used leo rack, and you can name your price, so I sell the extra one and it's like getting a freebie.

I wanted to share Olivia in her 100 days of school dress.

Olivia wears a uniform at school but they get free dress coupons for good behavior or meeting goals. On Friday Olivia tells me that she has been saving her free dress coupon for the 100th day because she was going to wear a special dress.

When I asked what special dress she replied "a pretty special school dress." Luckily Auntie Darla brought over this extra special school dress on Sunday.
