What the trick for lining the characters up? I did Heathers 3 Ghosts, and they came out pretty bad. I had marked the bottom line, and tried to adjust the hoop. But I was still off. BTW.. this came out beautiful.

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Yes!

Thanks for the quick response! I think I may opt to do something like this for Valentine's instead of making something from scratch. I am just not feeling inspired this year. Hmmm......

Sorry about the bad sewing day! I've done that more than once with the feed dogs. I always feel so silly after I figure it out! And, I HATE when needles keep breaking! Last month I was sewing buttonholes in elastic, and broke FOUR needles before I decided to just cut slits without the buttonholes!

Thank you for making me feel better. I broke 4 on Pooh and Eeyore./u was actually questioning if I got a bad batch of needles lol. I have never been so happy than when I finished them this afternoon!

Don't get too excited. Tessa didn't want new dresses or skirts this time. So, there are no frills. Thankfully, she will still wear her dresses for previous trips. So, she'll mostly be wearing older stuff.

Aw sorry hun but at least you can be unhappy about it at WDW

I have been making outfits to sale in local children's consignment sale and have run into small problem. I am hoping some of you talented ladies can help me.

I have my shorts in all sizes made all except cutting and running my elastic through. I have sizes 6 mths, 12 mths, 18 mths, 24 months, 2T, 3T, 4T and 5T. I usually just sew for my daughter and waist size is not an issue. Does anyone have general mesurements that they use for these sizes.

Please help I am trying to sew our way back to Disney!!!

Sorry hun I am no help my kids are way small for their age too.

I'm planning on adding a black bow to the Minnie head on the bodice...I'm still learning how to perfect the boutique bow!

Precious! Share your bows when you figure them out. That is the one thing I really need to figure out on my own. Wish I could take a bow making class lol.

If you have many other projects left, I'd just do the petti. I think it would look gorgeous with it.

But if you are all done I'd do Leslie's ribbon twirl - I chose it because I think it would look best with a skirt, and Leslie's is simple yet gorgeous!

I was leaning to that one. I found this one too https://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/featured-products/how-to-make-a-layered-tulle-twirl-skirt.htm
I have a ton of projects but we are not goign till June so plenty of time.

For those of you in the know about Wish Trips....does anyone know of an organization that gives second chance Wish trips?

I have a little friend with Mito. She took a MAW trip when she was two, because they thought she was terminal...instead she spent most of the trip in the hospital in Orlando. She is 9 now, and has had a lot of problems recently. She is a fighter...and she loves Disney. If I had the money I would send her myself. (truthfully, if I thought I could deal with all her medical issues, I'd take her with me on my next trip! But I KNOW my limitations...)

There used to be an organization here in metro Atlanta that granted second chance wishes, but they have gone out of business. I know there HAS to be something , somewhere that can help her. (kids with mito rarely live past 10, especially if they were diagnosed early in their life.)


Thanks....

I did not do this dress but the way I line up multiple designs is not to line up the bottom. They always seem to come out wrong. line up the centers of the design. Take an air erasable pen and draw a centerline horizontal across where you want the characters to be. The middle one will be dead center. Each side character will be centered up and down on the line. You will need to know the width of each design and leave a little extra in between. I hope this is clear if not just ask about what is unclear.

Yep it's the Gymbo tutu from Pop of Daisies - makes it much easier to just buy the tutu. I think I saw a blue one is coming to the outlets so I'll have to pick that up and do something w/ Cinderella on the shirt. With a 4mth old I don't have as much time to sew so if I can get the bottoms somewhere else I'm all over it.

DD has the same one with the Little Sister shirt, but I know she'd much prefer a Tink shirt - she's fairy crazy at the moment. I don't know why I didn't think of it before! And you can't pay me to make tutus, every one that Alison has is purchased...lol. I can't wait to see the Cinderella outfit! I just love babies in tutus.

Yay!! Hopefully we'll see each other! What days are you going to be there? Will you be there Sunday evening? Are you coming to the Disboutiquer meet at ESPN? Is that enough questions?

We should be there about noon on Sunday and we're checking out Wednesday morning. We're just doing two days at the parks and a bit of DTD. I am coming to the meet, probably with the two youngest. We've got late dinner reservations at 1900 PF (and actually hope to catch Wishes at Poly before) that night, but I can't miss the chance to meet everyone! And are there ever too many questions?

Speaking of meeting everyone - are we meeting in a certain place or are we just wandering around with LGMH until we all run into each other? In all of my trips to Disney I have never been to ESPN.

The Aurora dress is gorgeous!!! I especially like the crown you made!!! And, Prince Phillip is so cool!! The Snow Whit is darling, is the fabric sparkly?

But, my FAVORITE is the DUMBO!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! Absolutely ADORABLE!!!!! Your daughter is just too cute too!!! I like the picture of her flying!

Thank you! The fabric is not sparkly. The skirt fabric is Fairy Frost so it's got a touch of glimmer though.

DD is my little girly-girl hambone. She loves everything pink and ruffly, and loves to have her picture taken.

I am just testing how my tickers look since I am missing Disney

Oooooh Chiara's going on a cruise! I hope to hit the Dream next year if I can convince DH. Which cruise are you doing?

The skirt is the Audrey skirt from Lisa - I just showed the ruffly back because its so ruffly - lol!!!!

Oh yay, that's the skirt I'm going to be attempting for DD's Monterts outfit.

Oh my...the cuteness! Are those Simply Sweet variations? I would love to know where you got the pattern for the add-ons (waist, etc.) My DD is OBSESSED with Cinderella (she calls her 'Rella) and I really want to make her a 'Rella dress for our trip.

Aw, DD used to call her Lella, now she's got it up to Cinlella....lol. Both of the dresses and the Dumbo top are SS. This is CarlaC's blog postings for both the Aurora and the Cinderella alterations for the SS.


[/QUOTE]

I would love some opinions I am kind of stuck for lack of a better word.
I made this top for DD

I am trying to decide what to put with it. Originally I was just going to put it with a petti and call it done which I may still do. I am looking at other options though so here are my thoughts ....
Leslies ribbon trimmed twirl skirt
strip work twirl skirt
story book twirl skirt (have a pooh storybook)
easy fit short shorts with a ruffle.
What would you ladies do?

I would do the petti or a strip work, but I pink sparkly heart strip works so I'm sure that's coloring my choice!

I'm planning on adding a black bow to the Minnie head on the bodice...I'm still learning how to perfect the boutique bow!

Cute! I'm still trying to learn the boutique bow...lol. Can't wait to see it!

 

[billwendy]

Awwwww - such CUTENESS EVERYONE!!!

Callie - what about Lisa's Audrey ruffle? you could make a ruffle out of each of the piglet fabrics - would be fab!!!!!!

So how many people are going to be at the meet?

Chiara - a CRUISE!!!!!!!!????? WOO HOO

I don't know of anywhere. Everywhere stipulates that the child never can have had a wish before. We took Andrew on his wish trip at 5 cause we weren't sure that his outlook was very good. He still has a neurodegenerative disease and is a very sick young man. Now he is 12. We are taking him back to Disney for a 'second' wish, you could say, but we are doing for him.

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I hope you all have a great time who are going to the meet in FL. Wish I could be there! I still need to meet up with Heather and Teresa sometime since we don't live that far from each other. I keep thinking we will run into each other sometime.

 

[visitingapril09]

Haven't done any clothing sewing recently but I did make 3 wallets. Mickey for Andrew, Princess and the Frog for Melissa and Minnie for me! Talked my two biggest boys into letting me make them 'man wallets' out of Disney fabrics for our trip too. Got those cut out today.

Now.........please solve my mystery......what is this foot for???!!!

I love these!!! Were they hard to make?

No, used a great tutorial found here.

Only hard part was the zipper. It was tricky but once I had done one it made total sense.

Love the wallets, and I believe that to be a ruffler foot?

 

[NiniMorris]

Visiting April....that is a ruffler foot...
And that (the wish info) was what I was afraid of. She was in hospice at age two... now her family can't afford a trip. She has been in a wheelchair for the past year, and the prognosis is getting bleaker by he day. Now Mom just found out she is pregnant again with another high risk pregnancy. (she lost two and had her last one 8 weeks early, but he is fine now)

I guess I need to find a way to save a little extra money and try to take her with us this trip...2 wheelchairs shouldn't be too much problems...right? LOL

 

[miprender]

That came out so nice

So cute.

Okay I finally have a few to share!

The first is Chelsea's Big Give:

Princess Aurora dress and crown

Prince Philip shirt for big brother:

And for Mallory's Big Give:

Snow White dress:

Flying like Dimbo:

TFL!

Wow..everything is so sweet.

This is a CASE of Jeanne - Lauren is going to see the Lion King show in Providence in February - not sure if she will wear this at WDW next week or not.

A Mickey-Minnie vida with no real front/back - Lauren can wear it either way - to wear at MK on Monday

I am so jealous that you are going to see Lion King. I was debating on getting tickets to the show. Great dress by the way.

Nice house... I especially like how there is no snow on the ground.

Here is our new little one:

And her first custom for WDW:

Just too cute!

Wendy that is just so cute!

The Toy Story dress was a customer request and I think it turned out so cute.

and the back:

Sorry for such a long post. I still have 10 pages to catch up on but wanted to get some of it on here before I continued.

Congrats on your SIL and I love those dresses especially the Toy Story one.

Oh! I know exactly where that is...my DH is from Ridgefield! We live in a very small rural town south of Middletown.

Finished my 2nd Simply Sweet last night...I think I have got the hang of this!

Here it is on my constantly-in-motion DD (she was busy watching Dora and holding her 'Rella cup and too distracted to look at the camera!)

I'm planning on adding a black bow to the Minnie head on the bodice...I'm still learning how to perfect the boutique bow!

Cute!!

Aww...I hear ya. Andrew was critical at 5. Now we live one day at a time and savor every moment. I know many mom's with mito children.

Thanks for the info on the foot......now I just have to figure out how to use it!

I really love those wallets. I am going to bookmark that tutorial.

My wonderful DH has been washing fabric for me for the past 2 days. I had a bunch of fat quarters laying around forever so I brought it up to wash so it is ready to use. The wonderful guy that he is he even folded them for me.

Then today I received my shirts from Jiffy Shirts for Khelsey's give and he washed those for me and then I received an order from Fabric.com for Khelsey's give and he started washing that for me. He is just such a sweetie.

I am going to start a few things in the next day or so.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Our Big Give group help raise funds to send a little girl a second time before she passed away. I want to say her name was Mya, but I could totally be wrong, it was around the time I was in the hospital a lot. Anyhow, couldn't that be something we could help with?

 

[PurpleEars]

I couldnt resist sending something to CHelsea and Fuller - they are just so stinkin cute!!!!

Anyone want to do the Scrapbook for Taylor's big give?????

Wow Wendy! These look so cute. I am sure they will love the new outfits!

Ok...seriously...I went out of town last week for 4 days and the had family things to do the rest of the weekend. When I got back on, I was 20 pages or so behind! NOOOOO! I will never catch up so I started taking notes and I will comment a little at a time.

Before I start, let me just BRAG a minute. I went with my daughter to my son-in-laws Army Boot Camp Graduation last week. It started off rather rough when we landed in NC late at night and they cancelled our connecting flight. We needed to be in SC by the following morning at 5 or so, so her inlaws (who had already driven 14 hrs that day to get to SC) had to drive another 3 hrs to pick us up and take us back to SC. Crazy night to say the least. However....during graduation they gave special awards to 25 guys out of roughly 1250 soldiers. My son-in-law was one of those 25. I am SOOOO PROUD of him...I just had to brag a moment. He got the award for his Marksmanship (is that the correct spelling).

I have actually been sewing some. I finished a few outfits I will post. I have made these for some friends/customers.

Sorry for such a long post. I still have 10 pages to catch up on but wanted to get some of it on here before I continued.

Congrats to your son-in-law. It is indeed an accomplishment! Thank you for sharing pictures of your wonderful outfits!

I love the jewelry rolls. I think I'll put that on my never ending to do list. I don't usually take jewelry with me because I don't have anything to put it in. Plus I can embroider it - bonus! Is it your own pattern or where did you get the pattern?

The pattern is from the One Yard Wonders book, though I am sure one can find similar ones for free! I modified it to a button closure instead of using ribbons.

Oh and I can't remember who said something about the zippers - it was super easy to put them in!

Yup, I've got the instructions and I'm STILL working on my first real patchwork. (Maybe I can graduate from Eye Spy bags to real live clothing for Big Gives .) I've got the rows stitched and now onto gathering.

Your comment on "graduating" cracks me up! I am sure you will do a good job!

I would love some opinions I am kind of stuck for lack of a better word.
I made this top for DD

I am trying to decide what to put with it. Originally I was just going to put it with a petti and call it done which I may still do. I am looking at other options though so here are my thoughts ....
Leslies ribbon trimmed twirl skirt
strip work twirl skirt
story book twirl skirt (have a pooh storybook)
easy fit short shorts with a ruffle.
What would you ladies do?

I thought easy fits with matching ruffles would be cute.

Cute Cute Cute!

Cute wallets. I may have to make one for myself! That is a ruffler foot. I highly recommend reading Carla's "The Ruffler Unruffled" book. You can get it for free from YMCT or from her blog.
