This board is addictive when I first read that warning when I found this site I thought yall where exaggerating. There is so much pretty stuff on this site!! This is the conversation I had with my dh this morning:

I do not shop at WalMart very often so when he was reconciling the checkbook there was a WalMart charge for $55.

He called and said what did you buy at WalMart for $55?

I said - Oh they had a huge clearance on Fabric and I got a bunch of really good deals. (mostly Disney)

after a long pause he said - you know you don't have a sewing machine yet, right?

I had no logical explanation to this.

My attempt at the emma. I changed it though. Kind of a emma and feliz crossed.

I tried my first t-shirt embroidery, messed it up even though you can't tell yet.


I plan on doing the design again on another t-shirt, what do you think of the colors? Should I change the color of the t-shirt if I leave the colors in the eggs the same.

Those are adorable!

Where oh? Where did you find that adorable Peter Pan Fabric? I love it! Peter Pan is one of our favorite Disney Movies.

I love all of these. Didn't you say you are new to sewing?

Did you come up with that Tiana dress on your own? I have seen and tried the tutorials for the other 3 princesses, but I would love a tutorial on the tiana dress you made?

Yep, you have definitely caught the bug.

Ok girls, my turn to share my sewing stylings (feel free to yawn)- I haven't slept much this week, but I think I got everything done that needed to be...
First, my first Carly bubble- the directions were as clear as they could be, but I sometimes had to reread a few things- I think the next one will go well, though-


ok, I'm tired now- gotta go back to work.

You have been very busy!!!! Everything looks great! That is really neat fabric. Your little bubble romper is so cute!

PLease helpme. I have been a lurker for a long time and love everyone's designs. I have a sewing machine and want to start making my DD5 some clothing. I am inexperienced and need guidence. I have only made a pillow for our dog. What is the best thing to make for my first time? and should I get patterns and if so, which ones are the easiest?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello! As everyone else has said, you can't go wrong with a CarlaC pattern! I would start out with either the Easy Fit Pants or the Portrait Peasant top (make sure it's Carla's), then try the Simply Sweet (the poster who is posting the adorable doll clothes is making those with a modified Simply Sweet, Carla has directions in her blog: http://www.scientificseamstress.com ).Then, I would do the Precious Dress which is my favorite! It's not hard, but it's a little more involved than the others, so I would try a few other outfits first. If you have any questions, just come back and ask us. Carla frequents the boards too, so you might even get an answer right from her.

Hi,
Just a quick hi!
I am back from our trip to visit my Father..I was thinking I would do a non-disney trip report.

I am trying to clean up a bit. hannah has been whiney and cranky all morning, she is finally napping!

I am doing some Spring cleaning...

Anyone know where I can sell used cloth diapers these days? I know ebay no longer allows it....
I had a lot from Megan, but Im not CDing Hannah, so its time to purge my stash.

Is there a website that sells WDW merchandise? I want some things for Megan's birthday..

I hope you had a nice visit with your Dad.
I have no idea about the cloth diapers, but I'm sure someone on here will know!

MAN!! I hate it when I throw something away and it jumps up into my nose!! That's a good one!!

My son put one of those small Sandylion stickers up his nose once (a Disney sticker mind you) both nostrils were bleeding from his attempts to dig it out and so I couldn't tell where to start my search. I asked him "which one is it in?" and he says "a Daisy one" as in Daisy Duck Anyhow, a high powered flashlight and a set of tweezers later, I found the right nostril and Daisy was rescued.

The scary part is when you go digging, you're afraid the kid is either gonna get scared and snarf it up into his lungs, or you're going to push it up farther. I must agree the up the nose stuff seems to be a right of passage...for kids and parents!

I love it! "Daisy!" I'm glad you got it out!

You know what's funny, right after I read about all these things getting stuck up kids noses this morning, my Mom called me. My cousin's little boy had to have his adnoids taken out and his tonsils, I think? Anyway, they discovered that part of his breathing problems were caused by a Lego that they figured had been stuck in his nose for a month or two!

Then when I was finished my DD who was 8 at the time says to me "Mommy, how to you get them to look so real?" guess I did OK.

I love that!!!

Now he HAS to get you a sewing machine. It would make a nice Mother's Day gift.

Off topic.... but whenever I see your name i have to take a second look. My DDs name is Joelle, so I always think I'm seeing her name.

Those are adorable!

Where oh? Where did you find that adorable Peter Pan Fabric? I love it! Peter Pan is one of our favorite Disney Movies.

I'm not h518may, but I can answer this for you as I was very tempted ot buy it myself. Fabric.com is selling it and some other really pretty Disney fabric. They offer free shipping if you spend $35 or more and they are in Marietta!

I LOVE the Tiana dress. How did you do it? Any tips. Did Carla post how to do this on her blog or did you just do it on your own?

 

[poohnpigletCA]

Part of the joy of having girls with birthdays 2 days apart is that you have one crazy birthday weekend and then you are done for the year.

Can you guess what the theme was this year?

Darla made Sierra's Alice Kingsley dress. Sierra had a party at the movie theater she and her friends watched Alice in Wonderland.

I made hair bows for each goody bag. Hubby made the charms from the Disney family website. Each girl also got a charm bracelet.

Olivia had an Alice tea party with her friends.

Olivia's outfit was from Etsy. It had Alice on the bodice and the skirt has the white rabbit, tweedle Dee and Dum, the queen of hearts and the mad hatter. It was $40. When we saw how many appliques the seller did for what she charged Darla just looked at me and said order it.

All done with birthday parties for the year.

Glad to hear you got a visit with your dad in. As for selling cloth diapers, I've seen them on Craigslist before but unless they are the bigger name brands, it's hard to get people to jump on them. I've sold all of mine on diaperswappers.com boards. I was able to sell them within a day of posting! Good luck!

I love all of these. Didn't you say you are new to sewing?

Did you come up with that Tiana dress on your own? I have seen and tried the tutorials for the other 3 princesses, but I would love a tutorial on the tiana dress you made?

I am not 100% new to sewing, but mostly I have just done baby blankets and burpies and such...I did just inherit a serger, so that has been the new toy that I have been practicing with.

For the Tiana dress, I used the simply sweet pattern with the scrunched elastic straps. I used the yellow fabric for the front bodice and the skirt, and then the matching green for the back bodice. To make the leafy things on the bodice, I laid the green fabric on top of the bodice. I cut the bottom and the arm hole to match the bodice so it could be sewn in together with the bodice pieces. I free-handed the arch of the leaves across the middle so that there would be a little yellow showing through, but that they would partially overlap. I sewed the arch and the top point of the leafy bodice pieces then turned right side out. Then placed them inside the bodice pieces and assembled the bodice as she describes...armholes first, then scrunched straps (while moving the leaf points out of the way), turn right side out, side seams.

For the skirt, I cut the yellow as she describes in the pattern directions. For the leaves, I cut squares of fabric that were one inch shorter than the LENGTH of the skirt. So, my skirt pieces were 9x15, so I made 8x8 squares. I made 12 of them, for a total of six leaves. I made a pattern to round the bottom edges to form the leaf points on each. Sewed the leaves together, turned them right side out, pressed. They were too thick to use basting stitches, so I had to gather it manually to attach to the bodice. Then zig zagged it to set the gathers. Gathered the yellow skirt, attached to the bodice and sewed through all layers.

For the flower, I used THIS tutorial...

Clear as mud, right?

I don't know if it's due to global warming, the HINI virus, or "operator error" but I don't seem to have the know-how to copy photos. Regarding Mary Poppins - the dress and the model . . .

wow!

 

[jas0202]

Oh wow!!! GORGEOUS!!! Really REALLY gorgeous!!!

I need to start making some doll clothes for my girls dolls!

Thank you!

I LOVE the Tiana dress. How did you do it? Any tips. Did Carla post how to do this on her blog or did you just do it on your own?

No, I just improv-ed the pattern.See post above for a little blurb that might not make sense about how I did it. I did intentionally make the other three princessified dresses from the blog first though, so I had a good feel for the pattern and the modifications that she had done. That helped a lot.

EDIT:
I should also add that I used post 3365 on THIS page as an inspiration!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I have been lurking, seeing all the wonderful stuff everyone has been making. Having my fourth has made life a little more interesting!! I am about to make our dining reservations for our Sept trip so I am starting to think about what I will be sewing for the girls! I am very excited. Right now I am working on some dresses for a friend who is going in May. She has been allowing me to borrow her disney embroidery machine (the wally one from a few years back) so I am doing it as a thanks. She is providing the fabric. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has used disney fabrics or colors for Carla's new dress pattern. I am trying to figure out what would work best. Any suggestions?

Hopefully I will be on here more regularly. I have missed my sewing fix!!

I've been wondering how you are doing! Nice to see you back here! How's your school year going?

These are great! I was also going to ask if Carla had a modification for Tiana on her blog, but see you already answered that question.

I can't believe you got that outfit for only $40. Great deal! I really love the colors they chose to use for the outfit!

Actually after looking at the picture and re-reading this a couple of times I think I get it pretty well, although I won't know for sure until I try it. Thanks!!

More pictures of the "Alica Kingsley" dress...I told poohnpigletCA that she need to put a disclaimer on her picture, stating that the top was not wonky - Sierra was standing funny.
Anyway...here are two more:

Thank you. I hope someone puts this in the bookmarks. Maybe Carla can add it to her blogPretty Please with a cherry on top..........

Try diaperswappers.com. There are lots of people on that forum willing to buy used diapers. BTW, what do you have to sell?

Lauren wants to add some smilies:

I've been wondering how you are doing! Nice to see you back here! How's your school year going?

Thanks for wondering. The school year is going well but it has been more difficult that expected with a baby around! We are taking spring break right now so it has been stress-free. I will post somethings I have been working on the past few months. I hope to be on here daily now. I love seeing what everyone is making! Everyone just keeps stepping it up a notch and I love to see what the new people are doing!!

 

[sahm1000]

You should just stay longer!!

Sure do wish I could!

We are just missing you too. We are going May 27-June 1st.

Have you been to the WISHES dessert party before? If you haven't...you might want to check out my review in my TR

http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=35169189&postcount=311

I would NOT waste my money with it . So not worth it

Missing you too???? Next year I'm going to have to coordinate our trip with everyone else's so we can have a Meet!

So you weren't wild about the dessert party? I read your trip report - was it the people standing and watching, or the actual dessert offerings that didn't make it worth it to you? I totally know there is no way we will be able to eat $20+ worth of desserts, I was just thinking it was something special to do. Since my DH's family has never been and probably never will again I was just wanting to make it memorable for them. Anyone else have any ideas of something "special" we can do? They seem underwhelmed right now about Disney which is bugging me.

You know what's funny, right after I read about all these things getting stuck up kids noses this morning, my Mom called me. My cousin's little boy had to have his adnoids taken out and his tonsils, I think? Anyway, they discovered that part of his breathing problems were caused by a Lego that they figured had been stuck in his nose for a month or two!

A month of two? Yikes!
