[mommy2mrb]

This is a very quick drive by post...
We got back from the dis meet Thursday and now I have the flu. We were supposed to come home Tuesday but due to weather our flights got cancelled. Anyway we had a great time meeting everyone. Heather and I ended up with connecting rooms which was great for our kids. They had a ball running between the rooms.

Also, There is a new big give posted today. Elliot is a cutey 3 year old and he has a 5 year old sister and a 15 year old brother.

I already checked out his BG....he is adorable!!!! signed up for goodies...and all done except waiting for my luggage tag order to come in!

Make sure to post when you figure out how to post/sell the patterns, I love your dresses they are soooo pretty! I am a big lover of Snow White and that bag is just adorable! Did you make up the pattern for the little girl or did you find that somewhere?

 

[weluvdizne]

Here is the smaller version I need to move the buttons for a tighter fit but I am pretty happy with them!

Those dresses are neat. Your girls are just precious!!!

Recd blankets from cjbear today!! thanks!!

we have a current total recd of 29 blankets which includes mine!

Thanks again everyone for helping us out with our project "hugs from Megan" !!!

My cousin was telling me her church is doing pillowcase dresses to send. That would be something that would also work for a sewing group.

I am officially out of the disboutique club...(insert cry and sad, sad face!!) as I do not keep up with it!! But I'm trying really hard


as always life happens and been a little busy and trying to get things back to normal, I decided to move (bad, bad move!!) from a small house to a bigger apartment....a move that I'm regretting a little....on the bright side ...finally have a sewing room...no more sewing in my bed

I finally finished some patterns for the princess dress...have it ready in size 2, 5, 6, 7

I would like to know if any of you know of a easy to follow ebook tutorial, ( a while back Carla gave me a link but can't find it ) I do not know how to do e files and it will make it so much easier to send it thru the computer than to mail it. If anyone knows about an easy to follow tut please let me know

I made snow white with the same pattern (I posted this picts on Facebook)
this one has a petti skirt attatch to the dress ( what a nightmare...I hate to do ruffles )

pantaloons to go with the dress

cinderella

gauntlets

for my niece I made her a Pucca messenger bag, the funny story was my attempt to make a little dolls...it so hideous looking that I told her to tell her friends it was a voodoo doll ...it was such a hit in school ( she is in high school) and got a lot of request to make more voodoo dolls never thought that there was a market for ugly , ugly looking things

I made a lot of pocket for the inside with zippers to keep things organized and secured

ugly doll

LOVING ALL THE DRESSES POSTED!!! the pink princess (ms callie) is just well going to page 1 to try to keep up with the thread!!!!

Linnette,
I sure do wish I were little once again so I could wear your amazing dresses! Linnette, you are beyond talented. I love everything you make.

Just home from an amazing week in Florida/Disney! Way TMTQ, but so many cute things posted while we were away.

I really loved meeting everyone at the meet Sunday night, such a great group of people!

I saw a few questions about the Rosetta Ruffle Bag so will try to help.

I made this one in the largest size and used it for my last 2 trips:

The bag is huge, but great to carry around the parks. I got so many compliments (and stares from those to shy to say anything!) I modified it to make a single long strap attached at the ends rather than 2 straps attached on the sides. Other than that I followed the pattern as suggested. I made it a couple of months ago, I don't remember having any difficulties with it other than getting the strap length right for what I wanted. I kind of wish I had made it adjustable so I could use it as a shoulder bag or cross body bag. And if you had a stroller to hang it on that would be great too.

If anyone has any specific questions feel free to ask.

I will say-this bag is how I found Ellen at the meet. I saw the bag then Ellen

Anyone have any pictures of cute Valentine outfits for boys? I have a DS4 and a DS3 and we are going to a bday party the 13th and I want them to look festive and cute I got my DD a dress made and figure it's only fair for them to get an outfit as well. Thanks!

 

[miprender]

Thanks! It wasn't bad. It would have been quick if it wasn't for the ruffles. But I love ruffles! I have to figure out the V in the back. When I turned it over to top stich, I had some trouble. Other than that it was fine.

Thanks.. I just ordered the pattern today so I can't wait until it comes in.

Nini, that explains why I get along so well with you from the start!

I have 31, 15, and 7. The 7 year old was a total shock, my tubes were tied, or suppose to have been! But we love all our kids and wouldn't have it any other way.

I had my tubes tided after my 3rd because I didn't want to take any chances. But I guess if it ever happened it was meant to be

Hello Ladies & Tom! --- I changed my userID. I was Mommy2JulietJocelyn now it is RubberDuckyRanchjust like everything else. I even have a RubberDuckyRanch email now! so same me just new name.

That is such a cute name.

Well we are home, got in yesterday afternoon. We had such a great time - I really think it was one of our best trips ever. The kids got so many compliments on their customs from just about everyone - characters, cast members and other guests. We managed to accomplish everything that we went down there for and then some.

Welcome home!

So I have started the girls valentines outfits and I got one of the shirts done today. I still have to embelish jeans and make the bows. I will post pics of the finished outfits all together but for now here is the first shirt:

That is so cute. DD7 would love that.

Need expert opinions, please. When we go on our trip in September, my baby will be 10 1/2 months old. He's a big guy, so I'm sure he'll be in at least an 18 month. Now, do you suggest regular t-shirts or one-sies? I'm leaning towards regular t-shirts for a couple reasons. 1. If it's hot, I can pull up his t-shirt and put a cool washcloth on his tummy. 2. If he has a really messy diaper, we would just have to change his shorts, not his entire outfit. Since he'll match or coordinate with the older 2, I'd be upset if I had to change his whole outfit. What do you experts think?

I would go with the shirt because as we know we have to keep them matching

Question ???
Does anyone here make custom bedding sets? I am wanting to do EEs room in some plush fabrics. She won't keep a sleep cap on her head so I try to keep really soft fabrics in her bed. She has slept on a minky sheet since we got her at 3 months old. We are moving this summer though and moving her into a big girl bed (either a twin or a full). I am trying to decide if I want to buck up and buy one Etsy or give custom bedding a go. Would love any info anyone has.

I have never done any but just wanted to comment that with all the beatiful dresses you do I am sure you would be able to do this too.

My cousin was telling me her church is doing pillowcase dresses to send. That would be something that would also work for a sewing group.

that is so wonderful of them to be doing

oh believe me I am already thinking ahead for the upcoming years....I thought I would wait to see about what the age groups they are going to be having before I started on the next project! this will be an ongoing project for me and Megan for years!!!

another idea I had was just pillow cases in fun prints too!
maybe the I spy pillows, I'm sure there will be a need for many items!

when we get closer to the opening of the orphange I will be in touch with Britney's mom more for items they will be needing.....so if the Mods here approve more projects in the future I hope we will have another wonderful response to our "wish"!!!

This group is such a wonderful, caring, loving bunch of people and I am happy to be a small part of the Big Give....and so grateful for everyone's help with our "wish"!!!

 

[dbprimeaux]

Not sure if I can ask this or not....

I am looking for someone to make some "pillowcase" type dresses for my DD for our trip in May.

I would appreciate any help or suggestion. Please inbox me you can help me.

 

[BelleFille]

Hello! Alicia from Facebook shared a link to this forum and to another one for participating in Big Gives. Everyone makes such adorable things!! I had to make myself stop going through the pages!! I was wasting too much time at the computer!

 

[BelleFille]

I guess I should say that my name is Adria Tate!! LOL

 

[Charmaine]

Hello, It's been a while since I've been on this board! I miss it and miss sewing. I've been just way too busy and we moved 2 times last year (long story) and I don't have a space set up for my sewing as of right now! lol

But, we are headed to Disneyland (live in Cali) this March for our daughters 7th Birthday (1st day in the park is her B-Day), so I've been trying to come up with some more modern Disney Customs...since she seems to have outgrown the Customs that I love to make for her!

Here's a couple things I did today. As you can see I screwed up on one of the Mickey ears!!! Darn it, but oh well!




We are so excited to go to DL and we are staying @ the Disneyland Hotel for the first time ever!

We have reservations @ Ariel's Grotto for her Birthday lunch with the princesses - she didn't want a custom dress, so I bought a store brand Princess Belle Dress...it killed me, but hey it's her B-Day...right!?!? lol

 

[PurpleEars]

I decided today that we are going to go on vacation this week next year and of course my mind goes right to Disney...now what customs to make Is there anything special going on there this time of year?

We were there at this time last year. The parks will be empty but it may be slightly chilly. We had a sweatshirt on most mornings/evenings. Looking at the pictures, we wore our fall jacket + sweatshirt on a couple of days.

Just wondering why you do it this way? Sounds like alot of work to me. Are you doing basic shapes and stuff? If you did a design that had alot of pieces I'd think this would be super difficult. A good applique scissors is worth its weight in stainless steel! Just sayin! hehe!

************************************
Thanks for all the well wishes for my mom. It was really uplifting to read everything yall said! My mom is leaving for MD Anderson tomorrow.

Like I said earlier, I started doing applique "by hand" and that's how I learned to applique. I mostly do simple stuff like Mickey or Minnie heads, so I suppose that's why I haven't had any problems. I also digitize my own applique patterns so I make them work for me. My big test will be when I finish princess Minnie as it will be more complicated. I figured I can always go back to doing applique "by hand" or learn the "new to me" method if this doesn't work out!

Will continue to pray for your mom and your family

I just want to say welcome! I can tell you that people here are very nice!

Here is the smaller version I need to move the buttons for a tighter fit but I am pretty happy with them!

The smaller version is just as cute as the larger version! Good job!

 

[Charmaine]

Thought I'd share our princess with her Countdown Chain we made last week! She cut's a link off every morning!

 

[Forevryoung]

Where is the best place to find the Red Minnie Polka Dot fabric???

(the one with the larger sized polka dots)

Thanks!

 

[Granna4679]

no they aren't due until later this summer....some of the ladies are just getting them done early....so don't worry and you can get them done when you get your fancy new machine!
thanks for helping us out!!!

I got mine washed and ready to make yesterday (during the ice storm here in Houston). Now just waiting for my DGD6 to come over. She wants to help and I thought this was the perfect thing to do with her and I can explain where we are sending them and why.

You are on a roll!! Love this! I finally figured out Minnie is holding a compass. I totally didn't get that from the design I bought that I stitched out onto Hannah's AK dress from our last trip. I still haven't posted that dress. oops!

************************************
Thanks for all the well wishes for my mom. It was really uplifting to read everything yall said! My mom is leaving for MD Anderson tomorrow.

Thanks! I would like to see the Minnie dress you made.

I hope your mom gets some comfort and answers @ MD Anderson. I work just a few minutes from there.

WOW...these are to die for!!!!!! I love all of them. I would be interested too when you find out how to post/sell the patterns!

QUESTION?????Has anyone ever made a rag quilt WITHOUT batting??? I saw a tutorial that did one without batting for a lighter weight quilt. I want to make one for a Big Give family going March and thought perhaps without batting it would be easier to pack IF they choose to take it with them. Any thoughts would be appreciated (I've never made one before with or without batting!). I am using flannel fabric.

I have made several and never put batting in it. I usually sandwich a layer of flannel between the front and back no matter what I make it out of. I have used flannel, minky, plain cotton, etc for front and back.

I got some great deals and my best find was this adorable Wizard of OZ fabric that was 80% off, I found some matching fabrics to go with it and now I need to figure out what to make with it. Anyone have a pattern suggestion, dress or skirt, something really easy?

I also got adorable Holly Hobby charm packs 2/5.00 to make a skirt, and some other cute cute remnant fabric to do something with.

Buying fabric is addicting.

Sounds like some great deals! Can you post a picture of the Wizard of Oz...I would like to see what the fabric looks like

Buying fabric IS addicting......I am living proof. My daughters say I have a sickness, I buy so much

You don't upsize the mens XL but take the principals of the bowling shirt and apply it to the regular pattern. I am nearly finished with DS shirt to match our outfits and he had outgrown the bowling shirt pattern.

So I measured the front pattern piece across the widest part. Cut two strips of Red, then four of the regular fabric. I sewed the red in between the regular fabric and then top stitched and pressed. I put the two piece together, matched up and then went back to the cutting table and cut the front piece of the shirt which now has a red strip down to front of each side.

Easy peasy. Let me get a picture for you. I have not finished the shirt yet.

CUTE!!

Here is the smaller version I need to move the buttons for a tighter fit but I am pretty happy with them!

Ahh....she is precious. Any word on your tailgating party? Is it still on?

Anita.....

I went back to Joann's today, and my store didn't have the fleece sale. I confused the heck out of them

Thank you!!!!
