I immediately saw Spongebob and Patrick and immediately knew she wanted those in that skirt! Really love the whole outfit!
I'm glad that you knew that wasn't my fault!
Are the images within the filmstrip fabric squares? That is such a cool idea and a fun way to personalize the 'film' for a child.
Yep, I cut squares of fabric for the applique part.
In my "not so proud mommy momment" yes she did finally sleep. On the filthly floor of the airplane! She would not sit in the seat. The seat belt was so not an option (she has never seen one). She would not let me hold her. She wanted the floor. I did manage to get a jacket under her. She slept for a little. I didn't. I was worried she would roll under the seat. Ahhh memories LOL
Good times...good times...but, she was worth every minute of it wasn't she?
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmmm, your two are about the size of mine. You made two sets of each, right? I would like a matching set, too, please. Thanks.
Sure, just give me your address and I'll ship over the 2 extra sets I whipped up just in case you asked!
Here are it's butt ruffles!
You did a FABULOUS job on those appliques!! Great work! I love the outfit, too! Figaro is adorable! I didn't realize he was Minnie's cat! I just think of Pinocchio when I see him! The Minnie head is new to me- I haven't digitized one like that. So, take credit where credit is due! Really great job!
It is funny but I never really noticed Figaro but right now she is really into who has a pet and stuff...Minnie has Figaro and Donald has ****oo Chicken.
Ooohh...you said a bad word!!!
I'm not HeatherSue, by any means. By my understanding of copyright law, only Disney owns the rights to use, sell, and/or license images or reproductions of the statue. I'm not sure that anyone can claim first rights on doing silhouettes, either; the concept's been around for centuries.
If you love it, which I do too, then I'd suggest finding your own picture of the statue (because then you're not using anyone's work on top of Disney's), printing it out in the size you want, and hand-appliqueing to your heart's content. Then think of me in awe of you, since my applique skills are definitely sub-par!
We've come a long way since the urban legends of Disney turning away people with polos embroidered with the original Disney/Brother embroidery machine!
I missed this question, so thank you for answering! Very well put! I don't mind if someone does an applique that is similar to one of mine by hand. But, I would prefer if they find their own artwork and work off of that instead of using my designs as a template. Lots of my designs are hand drawn without artwork, so I'm a little protective of those designs!
Well, I come from Missouri weather, so I should be used to it too. But I'm the first to admit I'm a huge WHIMP in the heat!
ME TOO!!
Heather - those outfits are ADORABLE and, when did Sawyer get so tall?
God Bless all you Mommies (no matter how you became a Mommie) out there!!
I don't know! He keeps sneaking up on me!
To those of you that want to be a Mommy, but haven't been able to.
Heather, these are FAB-U-LOSO!!!!!!!!! Love, love, love the filmstrip design! I was going to do a partners t-shirt for Caleb to match Ella, but I think I'll do this instead, if you don't mind my caseing Sawyer's shirt?
Go right ahead, my dear- since I CASED your skirt! I still think yours was cuter!
I'm sorry I missed your question about using the partners design!
I love this dress- it's beautiful!!
I think it is when your eye gets football shaped instead of rounded. I didn't think Lasik would be covered under any vision plan. I have vision coverage, but was completely assuming I'd be paying out of pocket. Most places let you pay monthly... but of course my husband would insist on making us suffer and pay it all at once...
When I went in to see if I was a candidate for lasik, I had insurance that would cover 25% of the surgery. But, the people at the office said that usually it's cheaper to get the surgery without insurance because they offer better deals to people without insurance! Unfortunately, I wasn't a candidate, much to my disappointment.
Well, I've asked for your advice before and it was awesome. I've done some twirly skirts for DW and I'll post them soon - and I'm proud of myself because I'm a self - taught sewer!
Now, I'm in a pickle. I want to make a Cinderella dress for my daughter. I bought the simplicity pattern, but with the zipper and what not I"m out of my league I think at this point.
Do you think if I did a "Precious Dress" pattern, with a sheer layer of sparkle fabric (not sure the exact name) over the dressy fabric that would work? Maybe do a petticoat from the same "you can make this" line of patterns?
Help. Seriously - help. I think I could do a precious dress. I think I could make that Petticoat. Do you think there is an easier pattern out there for a Cindy dress?
Thanks!
Vester
I think the precious dress works great for a Cinderella dress and it's easy, too.
I'm a Disboutiquer taught sewer because these ladies taught me everything I know!
My optometrist appt was Monday - she told me about a procedure where they cut a slit in your cornea then insert a corrective lens inside the eye. Kind of like a built-in contact. Sounded intriguing to me - but given my huge correction and football-shaped eyes it's one more thing I'm not a candidate for...
Can someone find my camera? It's been right by the sewing machine all day, and now that it's quarter-til-midnight it's grown legs and wandered off. DD's going strawberry picking with her brownie troop tomorrow and, right before dinner, asked me to put strawberries on a shirt for her. It's the first thing she's asked for in a while, so I'm doing it, but have been hampered by (1) something trying to download something onto my computer while I was looking for a good copyright-free strawberry graphic, necessitating a 90-minute full-virus scan, (2) the printer forgetting that it's supposed to print, so had to hook up an old printer, (3) tracing the strawberries on the !@)(#*$ wrong side of the fusible...again..., and now (4) my camera growing legs. So I'm close to done - just have to sew the rickrack on, and want a picture before it goes to school and the strawberry fields...All for an applique that I will have removed from the shirt by the weekend!
My cousin told me about that procedure when I found out I wasn't a candidate. It freaks me out a little bit!
Sorry about the applique troubles! But, I did enjoy reading it!
All this talk about birthing stories, I thought I'd offer some encouragement....my twins were born 11 weeks early....and here is a pic of them at age 11 (almost 3 years ago). My how they grow!
And...to tie this into Disboutiques, I made their dress....it's a little hard to see in this photo, but Pooh and friends are on the fabric. The girls made their necklaces.
Beautiful girls!! I can see the Pooh print- such pretty fabric!
Long time lurker, occasionaly poster.
We just made our plane reservations for going to DW Dec 4-Dec 12 (no resort reservations yet, waiting............) So now I need some suggestions of what to wear in Dec. We have always gone in the spring before (April/May). Anyone have any customs they would be willing to share pictures of for that time?
Emily
December is a mixed bag as far as weather. Teresa and I went at that time of year last year and it was as warm as could be- shorts weather. But, when we were kids and went in December it could also be chilly, or downright cold. So, you're going to want to make things that can be layered. For instance, a simply sweet dress that you could wear alone if it's hot, or with a long sleeved shirt and leggings underneath if it's chilly. You also might want to decorate a hoodie or something because you'll almost definitely need a jacket, if not a winter coat.
Heather...I've been sharing your design pics with my friends, (we've got a girlfriends getaway in the planning stages) What's the size of the characters you used in the filmstrip panels? I'm going to have them look for fav character fabrics, and I want to give them an idea of how big the prints should be. I'll be making the biggest size you've got since we're not child sized ourselves. [/COLOR][/FONT]
The design on Tessa and Sawyer's shirts are between a 4x4 and a 5x7 size (I designed it, so I can cheat and make my own size). Okay, the biggest one is 6x10 on it's side, so the squares range from 1.5"-2". So, you'll want a fairly small print. I just used the faces on some of mine and that seemed to work out okay.
Yup, he was a "total lift" or a two hander 
He was just over 6 pounds.
Wow!! 11 weeks early, I bet they were SO TINY!!
I had moved it...
So, even though I stayed up until 12:45, the troop is NOT going strawberry picking today. She wore her shirt to school anyways. In the last pic, she's also holding her clownfish squishie she just got yesterday.
For goodness sakes - leave it on at least! I did like it alot when it was finished. Sorry your daughter didn't get to wear it.
but it is our absolute favorite time to go there! If it is cool it just helps us get into the Christmas spirit...which is hard to do sometimes when you are Christmas shopping in shorts.
