[itsheresomewhere]

OT-
Does anyone here know a site/place with positive messages without being overly religious? I kinda need something like that right now.


Back to the sewing room as DD wants a new fleece coat.

 

[ellenbenny]

Here's the one I did make for this year:

Sooo beautiful!!

Thank you for doing the give! The dresses are so sweet and they will mean so much to the family. You are very kind for giving.

Thanks, I love doing big gives, it is very rewarding!

Those are so lovely!! I love the fabrics.

Thank you.

Here is my 6th custom for our upcoming Disney trip...stripwork jumper with double ruffle:

And the back

I used 32 different strips from a jelly roll for the stripwork skirt since they were only 2 1/2" wide as opposed to the 4" the pattern calls for.

Very pretty, I love the idea of using the jelly roll!

Beautiful. It is wonderful all of the great stuff you have been making for the Big Gives lately.

Thanks!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. The dresses are amazing, and I love the way you did the bib.

Thank you!

I need to redo my sewing area a bit and am needing some inspiration. Anyone willing to share photos of your sewing room/area/corner?? My sewing 'room' is a large walkin closet off our bedroom that is mostly sloped room, which makes it interesting but I am just grateful to have a designated area in our little home with 6 people.

Umm, I would take a picture, but it would only show piles of messes! I have a few saved somewhere I think though. I'll look.

Finally, for Sea World.. She loves the movie Happy Feet and picked out this, um, not so pretty penguin fabric... Decided to do it as part of a challenge on sew forum. I think it tones down the penguins enough.

I this! Dallas picked out that fabric a few years ago but I can't figure out what to do with it. He is obsessed with penguins and has been since around the age of 3. 5 years with a penguin obsessed kids = LOTS of penguins!

No problem Anita! That's one costume I would have loved to take credit for. It was one of the best red Belles I've seen from the Disney Store!

Here's the one I did make for this year:

This is absolutely gorgeous. I am in total awe of this and your talents. Iit

I can show you a picture of it all packed up. We are in the middle of purchasing a house and due to close with in the next couple of weeks so we have started packing everything up. My sewing area was actually in the play room as it was just a foldable table, my sewing machine, and a plastic roll cart with my ribbons and fabrics in it. I just started sewing so I don't have a big fabulous collection yet.I still only buy fabric for just the outfit I am making. Maybe after Christmas I can start a collection since I have asked for gift cards for Joanne's and Hancock Fabrics.

 

[tricia]

On of the Ladies that works with me and her whole family are very much into hunting and all things Camo, so she has asked me to make stuff for all of the grandkids. I posted the pink Camo Olivia dresses a while back, and here are 2 of the shirts for the boys. 2 more to go.

One is the Imke, and the other is a pattern from Ottobre.

I can't show them off on Facebook because of who they are for, so you are my audience today. Thanks for looking ladies.

 

[BeachMama13]

Yup, it's my first. So my next question is about thread. I know everyone likes Marathon for embroidery machines, but what about sergers? Is there any particular brand, and how many different colors do people buy? -- it appears that I could spend as much for thread as I did for the machine.

I just buy from JA's or Hancocks whenever they have a sale. My serger doesn't seem to be as picky as my embroidery machine is with thread, fortunately. I always buy 4 of each color, don't like to mix/match--unless it was something decorative.

If you're new at it, get Nancy Zieman's serger book, it's SO helpful.

This is my sewing area in our finished basement. This picture was taken right after I installed the cubes on the wall and counter tops and it was very neat, it is messier now, but you can see the idea. I am extremely lucky because I was able to design the space just for me. I designed it years ago before I was into sewing as much as I am now, and then I added the cubes that I set on the counters a little over a year ago.

This is gorgeous! I have a little sewing nook in the guest bedroom, and while I am glad my machines have their own space, I'd LOVE to have something like this that I didn't have to pack up every time we have company!

Now that they have received the package, I can post pictures of the dresses I sent for Emily's big give:

For Emily I sent a Portrait Peasant Cinderella dress and a coordinating bib:

And for her sister Brenna I made a Simply Sweet Belle Dress:

Ellen - these are gorgeous! I really love that bib!!

No problem Anita! That's one costume I would have loved to take credit for. It was one of the best red Belles I've seen from the Disney Store!

Here's the one I did make for this year:

Oh....so gorgeous! She will be so beautiful! Do you think someday she will be a CM @ DW??? She will have so much experience by the time she is old enough.

Here is my 6th custom for our upcoming Disney trip...stripwork jumper with double ruffle:

I used 32 different strips from a jelly roll for the stripwork skirt since they were only 2 1/2" wide as opposed to the 4" the pattern calls for.

Jennie - Look at you...double ruffle and all!! Great job! I love the soft colors.

A bowling shirt, maybe??

JEALOUS! JEALOUS! JEALOUS!! I would love to have that much space. We have no plans to move, no place to add on, and no basement so I am stuck with what I have. At lease I have a dedicated room for sewing (minus the twin bed...LOL). Here is mine....and looking at these pictures makes me want to go home and clean it up because it DOES NOT look like this right now!!

For my basic sewing I use either white or black and I buy the bigger spools of it. I buy 3 of a certain color if I'm doing a rolled hem.

Ok, I'm seriously jealous of BOTH of these!!!! Thanks for sharing!

 

[babynala]

Here's why I haven't been posting lately- between getting these done and work I've been pretty time crunched. These are for a family to wear to MVMCP. I also made renaissance garb (I actually did an overdress w/ boning and everything! But don't have any pics yet).

and one of my DD modeling the dress that's her size (which in retrospect was probably not the best idea, because now she wants one too LOL.)

Boy did I underestimate the time required. The worst part was having to trace and cut out the pattern three times- I don't enjoy that part...

Very nice job, great fabric choices.

We've got the worst cold running thru my house and I just don't have time for it! My cruise (non-DCL) is in 3 weeks and I've got a ton of sewing to do as well as a peasant top to smock, and I'm so messed up on cold meds I don't want to get involved with anything for fear of goofing it up! I even skipped work today, something I never do. Sitting up is better than laying down, so I might just do some t-shirt embroidery...babysitting the machine is something I think I can handle. I was laughing at all of you saying you have to do that too, every time I look away, it goes bad, but sometimes I sit there the entire time and nothing happens even without adjustments. I had a sneezing fit once, sitting there and it goofed up on me, and my eyes were only closed for a second!

Hope you are feeling better!

I am a bit late on this, but here is my Disney Christmas creation for my 15 month old. It's a stripwork jumper with a pair of easy fit pants.

Very pretty.

So I'm working on making my sister and I "princess tops" for when we go to Disney World this summer. Since I'm a teacher, I don't have too much extra time to work on sewing. But I have gotten this much done on the Belle top. The top part is shirred and the bottom is scalloped (it's hard to tell in the picture) with some tulle on top.

I think I might forgo the arm tulle thing. I still need to put on straps (ignore the pink bra straps) and am thinking about putting on some covered buttons.
Suggestions?
Thanks! Peace!

This came out so nice, I thought the straps were part of the top also. What a great idea.

Sorry I have been a bit MIA. My two year olds have been hard to handle the last few weeks. I think it is a tis the season thing but also because we have started cleaning out the house for our move this summer and it is a what is up thing. I am so ready to move but I am really wondering how it is going to effect them and my 4 year old. I have been working on i spy bags and I am thinking next week I am going to do crayon roll ups for my sons class. I just need to figure out what the best pattern to use is (ie the easiest lol)

I guess we can forgive you seeing as you have "two year olds" not "a two year old". I don't know how you do it!

I've been reading this board for months, getting lots of inspiration. Recently purchased a Carla C pattern and am very excited to make my girls some twirl skirts for our very first trip to Disney. Everyone here makes such beautiful stuff and thanks for the inspiration to give it a try!

My question is about the mickey ears appliques for t-shirts. I'm going to buy some mickey heads with bows etc from etsy but just don't know which size I should look for. I would like to iron them on t-shirts for my 5 year old twins. In addition, I would like to get some to make a t-shirt for my husband and I as well but think they will need to be a different size, no? Any advice you can offer is appreciated.

thanks in advance

You might want to just take a piece of paper that is cut out to the different sizes and place it on a t-shirt to give you an idea of how big the Mickey Heads will be on the shirts.

Whew! All done with Disney sewing. Now I've got 2 evenings to get us all packed so we can head south on Saturday!

Minnie with a mini skirt for MK

Animal Kingdom

Probably Epcot, I ran out of time to order and couldn't find locally the Alexander Henry Children of the World fabric. I whipped this up tonight, ignore the crazy eyes, it was bedtime and she was being silly.

Disney Studios - She'll wear the Einsteins outfit I showed a couple pages back.

Made this for her several months ago and will probably throw it in with everything else.

Finally, for Sea World.. She loves the movie Happy Feet and picked out this, um, not so pretty penguin fabric... Decided to do it as part of a challenge on sew forum. I think it tones down the penguins enough.

So many cute things. The princess dress is really cute. The Sea World outfit is really nice, love how you did the skirt.

Ok - off to Joann's, the mall & Target with Evie. Then home for a nap before the girls get off the bus, then work tonight & tomorrow, Sew a Nemo outift Sat/Sun/Mon morning Hopefull y have it done by then. Then on to PJ's - girl & doll sets to match for a customer and my girls for Christmas Eve night - to be left by the elves.

You are busy, busy, busy. Can you send me some of your energy?

Now that they have received the package, I can post pictures of the dresses I sent for Emily's big give:

And for her sister Brenna I made a Simply Sweet Belle Dress:

These are so pretty. I love the bib. You are so generous to make these for Emily and Brenna.

This dress is amazing. I can picture your beautiful daughter wearing it.

I remember the dresses and these are perfect coordinates.

 

[QuiverofArrows]

Thanks for the suggestion. It was something different but I'm just going to go with this. I have a fear of binding! I know it's supposed to be simple but binding + curves =

Appreciate the help.

These look great, you are so good at trying different patterns, I seem to keep going back to the same ones.

Thanks for the compliments. I do love my space, and mine needs to be cleaned up too after looking at the pics! Your room looks nice too>

Thanks, I love seeing their faces when they open the packages, it is so fun doing big gives!

[*Toadstool*]

Which party will you be at? It looks like we'll be there about the same time! We're doing MVMCP the 14th and 16th.

Here she is. We're bringing our own version of the red gown this time:

Omg! We are going to be at disney at the same time???

Now that they have received the package, I can post pictures of the dresses I sent for Emily's big give:

And for her sister Brenna I made a Simply Sweet Belle Dress:

Beautiful! I love the Belle dress. That is one of the most beautiful fabrics ever. I use Fairy Frost fabric way too much.

GORGEOUS! I'm so excited that I might get to see this in person.

And the back

Very pretty!! I love the double ruffle!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

We are working now on redoing the family room and living room. I had my sewing area moved to the snowboard wall and we took out the gun cabinet.

My fabrics are in the guest room closet along with T shirts, threads, ribbons, etc.

That is super CUTE!! Do you use a specific pattern for the strip work or alter a pattern you already have for the strips?

You've made great use of your space. There's a quote about a messy craft room I've seen before, but I can't remember exactly how it goes at the moment and I know I'll slaughter it if I try to wing it. Something about messy and creativity going hand in hand though.
