Whew! I am so relieved! I FOUND my pattern book.

I don't think you will find this at your library, but I could be wrong. It has a insert with all the pattern pieces to be traced.

The dress i did comes in size 18 and 24 months, although the only pattern piece really is the triangular type bodice piece and guide piece for cutting the arms.

Other dresses in the book come size 2,4,5,6

Loads of creative ideas in it and there is a part 2 out called More Sewing With Whimsy. Kari Mecca is amazing, i think she stays up all night coming up with this amazing to-die-for stuff that is almost evil to make.
Although the toy story dress was simple, just some hand sewing on the inside to finish (which I was doing when I was taking care of my Dad and never finished) so I have that left. But it's not hard- just takes a wee bit of time and patience.


I ADORE the donald and mickey t shirts! they remind me of heathersue's designs but with the whole body. Very very cool!!!

 

[ms_mckenna]

I lOVE these shirts!!! I love how big the design is... and I really want that Donald shirt! How do you do these appliques so big?

Thank you I just trace them on to the paper. I got started using Leslie's tutorial. my*sweet*sunshine

Leaving on Friday and I think my sewing machine is going to have to come along for the trip as well. I am going to get all my embroidering done before I leave, but I think I will have to do all my sewing while stopping for the night before getting there. Ugh! I have 6 shirts to embroider, plus I have a very large order for a customer that I really want to finish before we leave. I haven't packed hardly anything. Need to finish laundry. I need some kind of anti-sleep pill. Perhaps if I stay awake between now and Friday I might get it all done, haha!

I also think that I am finally getting brave enough to get a serger and try it out. My bday isn't til July, but I think that is what I will tell DH and my parents that I would like.

I can't wait to get to Disney! I downloaded an app for my phone and it's so cool! It gives current wait times etc. Makes me even more excited to get there!

I will post pictures of the customs when I get back from the Happy Place

 

[MommyBell08]

I finished the little boys Chef Mickey shirts. EE is wearing her minnie dress and Noah is wearing a Goofy shirt but I need to buy a shirt to put the applique on. At least it is prepped and cut and ready to go

Mickey is Ty's his absolute favorite character. Donald is Jacks.

So Cute! They look great!

 

[Luv2DressEmUp]

Hi all
It's been a while since I've been here, but I've been given a project and need some creative minds - and I knew I'd find them here! My dd7 is in a school play next month and is a porcupine! Any creative ideas for making a porcupine costume???

See you there! We arrive Friday and head back Tuesday morning. Where are you staying? We will be at the Poly. Kids won't be too decked out in customs since they are 9 & 11. Mostly embroidered tshirts although DD does have a recycled Steamboat Willie Vida and a Minnie twirl skirt. Seriously, keep an eye out for us!!!!

Anyone else going to be there this weekend?

Cool can't wait to see!
Thanks

Okay, finished 3 shirts today. Here is Bruce, although I think he sorta sucks compared to yours. Thanks again for the image.

Not sure what happened with this photo... used my iphone. The shirt is black and Bruce is light blue


DS9 wanted Epic Mickey. Also weird photo, shirt is cobalt blue with a black applique.

DD11 wanted the little alien guy. She is such a goofball!

Started packing today and realized DS9 didn't have any shorts that fit him. Luckily I called around and found that Old Navy had them in. Thanks for "cruise wear" as my Grandmother would call it! So much to do, I will never be ready and probably won't sleep on Thursday night!

Great Job again...my 5 year old knew who they were supposed to be right away

 

[erikawolf2004]

So I'm frantic, because I can't find my pattern book and I need it to work on a dress at a class this coming weekend. Grrr

but for those interested, the pillowcase style toy story dress is from here-

Sewing With Whimsy by Kari Mecca

Love this book, which one to get thou?? You mentioned that the pillowcase dress came in 18 & 24m, but are there instructions for the larger sizes also? Are they easy patterns to do and instructions to understand?

Thanks, Erika

Hi Everyone!!

Here is the outfit I made for Mallory's Big Give it will coordinat with Callie's necklace and a tutu that is being made!!!

:

Fantastic!

Now that Chelsea from the big give has received the dresses I can post them here! She looks SOOO cute in them! I love it!
Daisy: They're going to Tusker so I wanted to make this! I had these great fabrics from when I made my neighbors baby bedding (so cute too - need to post pics) and I digitized a daisy to go along!
Can't find a full front pic.

And the pink Cindy dress - she looks just like a princess in this one!

Thanks for looking! Jessica

These are awesom, love the patchwork dress, I have a bunch of squares that are just waiting to be put together...how many did you do and what size on each layer, the last one I did just didn't come out full enough. That Cindy dress is soooo sweet.

 

[VBAndrea]

Didn't go far enough back to quote all recent pics, but Jessica your Big Give outfits are great and Wendy love your outfit for Mallory as well.

That's absolutely adorable! Love the coordinating jeans too!

So, I broke down and bought Simply Sweet last night...Holy cow. I am totally overwhelmed. I can follow a 50-step quilt pattern and ace advanced graduate school statistics but for some reason, I am just having major issues with it. I have to sit down with the pattern tonight and really dissect it. Do you actually have to have three layers with this dress? I'm not sure that would fly with my 17-month old DD.

I have NEVER made the dress with three layers -- I always just do two. Same with the Bowling Shirt -- I lined the first ones I made and like them unlined soooo much better.

Here's all of them together:

Great work again! I would love to sew for American Girl dolls but my dd isn't interested in them

Ok so I got the shirt and had to put him on! Here is Noah's Goofy top.

Once again, I can't wait to see your vacation photos! I want to see everyone all together dressed up ~ your family will look amazing!

Thank you! I am glad she knew who they were!

THank you. I only sew for them because my dd's aren't interest in wearing anything I make... so it's oK.

My kids would die if I made them an Epic Mickey...but by hand? No way! I know my limitations! But I will have to remember that for our next trip.

I seriously had nightmares about having a long extension cord coming from the back of the truck as we were driving to Orlando...either that or staying up at night finishing up the shirts before we left for the parks in the am! (we had 2 shirts per person; seven people, and 10 days!)

Have fun!

Do you have a model number? I have an old Kenmore machine myself. I might be able to figure some things out for you. Let me know what model it is.

Thanks! It was a 158...something, lots of numbers after that, lol. She decided to bring it in for a check up. I'm willing to be that after it gets a once over, it will be fine. She's getting sewing lessons there anyway, so I'm sure they'll show her all she needs to know to get it up and running. I think the issue we have at this point is nobody knows how to use it, and her grandma has dementia, so she's forgotten. I think it's one of the old machines that's pretty much indestructible, all metal and it weighs a ton, it probably needs a little tcl and it will be fine. Thanks for the offer...when it comes back and if she still needs help, I may take you up on the offer. .

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Well....I actually sewed something this week after months away! I made this bag for a friend that is leaving for WDW Thursday....well actually it's for her DD.

Now that I have seen the new castle show....I wish I could go! DH keeps talking about us going for a short trip....you know, the same guy that talked me out of not going! AAAHHH!

And, because Max is growing so fast!

He is turning out to be the best dog! My constant companion!

 

[ms_mckenna]

You did a fabulous job with Goofy.

Thank you

Oh that is a hard one! Could you use mesh and stick something through the holes to make the spikes? I am not sure what though.

Okay, finished 3 shirts today. Here is Bruce, although I think he sorta sucks compared to yours. Thanks again for the image.

I think he turned out great! I love your epic mickey and your alien adorable! I have thought about doing the aliens for DH. BTW I love the fabric you used on Bruce. That is one of my favorite fabrics I have a lot of the colors but have not seen the light blue before.

These are very cool!

Thank you!

Okay....I lurk here mostly...but I just have to say....he is adorable!!!!


going back to lurking.....and wishing I had a little girl to make all these really beautiful things for....my 12 and 14 yo's think hand made stuff is NOT cool

 

[aboveH20]

Riverside is my favorite resort. I don't like food courts, but I do like this one, and the resturant, Boatwrights, is the best. Alot of times, the reason Disney will upgrade is to accomodate another reservation. If they have a large party and need your rooms, or something like that. Then they will upgrade you. Why they just don't move the other party?? I had this happen to a friend, she took her entire family of 20, and offered to upgrade her from the Contemporary to the Floridian. I couldn't believe she was undecided, but did go with the Floridian.

I'm actually second guessing myself. I had been looking forward to Riverside but figured I'd never spend the money for OKW so it's a way to see it on my different-resort-every-year plan. My guess is that a lot of people are making last minute reservations because the winter has been so yucky in many parts of the country, and they CAN sell rooms at moderate resorts, not as many people want to spend money for deluxes.

Here's all of them together:

I them, but what I think is really cool is how much you're enjoying making them. I think there's a lot to be said for creating things and how it affects our mental health.

Ok so I got the shirt and had to put him on! Here is Noah's Goofy top.

Cool!

Reading how much you have left to do wore ME out! I'm going to need some of the anti-sleep pills to get me through the day.

I really like my serger. It came ready to use out of the box (it was all threaded) and I've used it to make dinner napkins, finish the edge of a "tablecloth" (basically just fabric with a finished edge) and to finish off seams. IT IS FUN to use.

Okay, finished 3 shirts today. Here is Bruce, although I think he sorta sucks compared to yours. Thanks again for the image.

They look great. I especially like the fabric for the shark. I haven't been following the weather, but hope it's warm enough so your handiwork can be seen.

There are so many acronyms in disboards, I think we need to add SMFTPICQACOTA. It's obvious what is stands for . . .So Many Fabulous Things Posted I Can't Quote And Comment On Them All. It seems like if I don't keep up (read and comment every day) it's overwhelming to comment on everything and then I wonder if I should comment on some but not all, or just not comment on anything. KWIM

That being said, I missed commenting on the amazing Daisy for the Big Give, the Cat in the Hat outfit, and the whole Rudolph set. Wonderful, wonderful.

 

[VBAndrea]

Since Mallory got her package yesterday it's time to share pics of what I made for her Big Give:
A Minnie/Mickey patchwork twirl which is very similar to the one I made for my dd last year -- I made Mallory's a bit more detailed (shhhh! Don't tell my dd that!). Jen (Clairemolly) is going to make a coordinating t for it.
A hairbow
Coordinating bracelets for Mom and Mallory
Earrings for mom

I just did coordinating colors for the jewelry so they can wear them with anything. Madeline posted a really adorable pic of their hands together wearing the bracelets on her trip report.
