[jeniamt]

I will be skipping Joannes but I am heading to Walmart at midnight. Some of the toy prices are too good to pass up. I am afraid to see what it will be like when I arrive. Hoping its not too crazy!

Hi, I don't know if anyone ever gives used shirts? We will be there Dec. 1-8, my DH and I both are wearing universal M shirts from Micheal's and I would be happy to wash and send some of the shirts to thier resort...if that is even possible? These shirts will only have been worn once while there.

I am doing a Princess Head Minnie in Pink, Christmas Belle and Probably a Tiana one for me, then my DH will have a MVMCP one of some kind...haven't decided yet and a Mickey Pirate...I might do one or two others also, have to see how this weekend goes.

Please let me know what you think.

Hmm - I dont think people have done that before. I get where you are coming from, but Im just not sure. Maybe you'd want to ask cajunfan (lynn) or just pm the mom yourself??????

So very very genrous and kind of you!!!

Incredible. I like the green creature. (I'm behind on kids movies and TV if it's someone I should know, sorry.)



It's a joy to see you work. Beautifully done.



Hmmm. . . . I wonder if I'm behind making outfits for my grandchildren. Will I ever catch up if I wait for my sons to find a girlfirends, get married, and then have kids? (Hopefully in the order.) I wish I had young 'uns to sew for. Enjoy!



Sending fresh air your way . . breath deep.



True for me as well.




Navy? I'll HAVE to do something. I think it was part of the agreement when my son enlisted. Let me recover from today and I'll take a look tomorrow.

Yes!!! NAVY!!!!!!!! I know a few things that you are great at making my friend!!!!!!!!!!! Lynn is going to make crayon rollups and send string back packs. But any other ideas you have would be awesome!!!!

okay here is my first finished project with my new machine. I decided this morning to finally make the kids shirts to wear for dinner.

They are the same except Miss C has a turkey on hers because it is slightly off center. I reversed the colors too. The turkey was built in to the machine and the Gobble Gobble is HeatherSue's

Both the kids

totally LOVE THEM!!! Adorable!!

Wendy - I thought about making something but I am concerned about the ship time. The package will need to cross the border so it will be very tight even if I manage to put something in the mail on Monday.



That's a nice shirt. I saw that BC got quite a bit of snow today! I hope you guys are staying warm!

Hmmm - what if you sent it directly to Give Kids the World???? Would that work???? So thoughtful of you to think this all out|!!! Thanks!!

So is it worth it to go to Jo-Anns on Black friday? I'd really like to get the $1.29 flannel and some Christmas prints cheap, but I was wondering how hard it is to get unless you're one of the first few people through the door. Having a newborn this year, I can't really get there when the doors open. Plus, how does that work? Do you have to stalk people till they go to the cutting table? From anyone's experience, did you find it was easy to get the fabric you came for? Does it get ugly? I'm not so great with crowds and get overwhelmed pretty easily. I'm just wondering if its worth the effort.

Is 1.29 flannel on sale on line too??

 

[Cibahwewah]

I just wanted to let everyone here know how thankful I am to all of you. This thread has enriched my life, brought some laughs and given me a lot of inspiration. I really didn't know what I was capable of creating until I stumbled upon you guys a few years ago looking for others who are obsessed with Disney and like to sew. Thank you, thank you, thank you and have a blessed day.

Me too! Due to this thread I went from not knowing how the heck a sewing machine works to making custom dresses and bows for my DD--one for each day of the trip. Thank you for the inspiration!

Is 1.29 flannel on sale on line too??

The online price is 1.79/yard. There are two free shipping codes: for orders above $35 it is EAD331, and also code FS329 has no minimum but is only good today (Thanksgiving Day).
I don't usually shop on Thanksgiving, but I didn't want to hold us up tomorrow morning because I just Had to have some flannel!
Off to WDW at 6am! See ya in 10 days...unless I've got really good internet service while there!

 

[*love*2*shop]

anyone here make LArger sized customs? My daughter is only 9 but wears a 14/ 16/18..... thanks

 

[MyDisneyTrio]

Is 1.29 flannel on sale on line too??

It's going to be 1.79 a yard online- totally worth it to me to avoid the crowds!!!

 

[effervescent]

Hi Everyone!!

Hope you are all enjoying your special day!!

Question - we have a MAW family going REALLY soon. We cant do a Big Give because its just so close, but Lynn (cajunfan) wants us to try to send them some shirts and pixie dust if we can. They are a family of 4 kids (teen to baby) and 2 adults. They leave on 12/12 - so it'd have to be QUICK!!! Here is just a little info on them!!!

Allison LOVES Tinkerbell. Her room was done in Tink, and now that she is older it changed a little but still has Tink all over!! Of course, she loves harry potter as well! Her shirt size is medium (adult) XL for kids. Alli's favorite color is purple

Jake likes Chip 'n' Dale. Always has. His shirt size is medium mens. Jake likes blue.

Jonathon likes ALOT of Disney characters. Not sure there is a favorite. Toy Story, Cars, Stitch.... He is a 4/5 shirt. Jonathon likes blue, green, yellow. Can't narrow it down.

Christopher loves orange, and has a Tigger blanket he likes. He also crawls to Mickey. He is 6/9 months size.

My husband and I are both XL. (love to admit that) I LOVE LOVE LOVE mickey. Actually had a room done in disney till we had #3... so it went to the attic. But the nursery for all 4 has been disney babies! Brian likes GOOFY. Or at least Jake and I like to think so!

Here is a link to their PTR - oh my gosh they are so adorable!!! So sweet!!
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2596237

Her Daddy is active in the Navy, but having some health issues himself. They have had one heck of a year and really need a BREAK!!!! Can we do it????? Pretty please????

OOhh, how about some baby stuff too (wait till you see his little face)!!!!

Thank you everyone!!! I hope we can make their trip just a bit more special!!!

Ok I was just browsing this thread before bed but I just have to respond to this. I have my own little Alison-the-Tinkerbell-lover. I could get some simple shirts done over the weekend, so if someone would let me know what characters are already taken I'll make sure not to do dupes.

 

[MyDisneyTrio]

I just have to ask, what design gave you such a hard time? i am sorry, it is sad when it doesn't go easy and when you want it to go well. Heather does have good designs and feel free to vent anytime.

It was a tractor pulling a load of pumpkins, 5x7 size. I will be uploading pics soon and I'll post a picture of the lovely design If you'd like the name of the seller please PM me and I'll share.

I am hoping DH give me some free time this weekend and I can perhaps attempt my first feliz

 

[jeniamt]

Just reporting in before going to bed. We hit Walmart, Old Navy, Toys r Us and Kohls. Heading to bed with a very empty wallet. I am afraid I might regret some of my purchases tomorrow when I am not as sleep deprived. Oh well... it was pretty fun to be a part of the hustle and bustle of Black Friday! Hope those that also ventured out had a successful time. I should note, we killed time waiting for Kohls to open since they had 50% off Disney Princess & fairy stuff. So not worth it. They hardly had anything. Night night!

okay here is my first finished project with my new machine. I decided this morning to finally make the kids shirts to wear for dinner.

They are the same except Miss C has a turkey on hers because it is slightly off center. I reversed the colors too. The turkey was built in to the machine and the Gobble Gobble is HeatherSue's

Both the kids

You did such a good job. The shirts look great and glad you got it to go well. Your children are just so sweet!

I'm just wondering if its worth the effort.

I wanted to go but when DH bought the touches online my excuse to go to TRU went away. The temps went sub zero, so no, I stayed home.

I will be skipping Joannes but I am heading to Walmart at midnight. Some of the toy prices are too good to pass up. I am afraid to see what it will be like when I arrive. Hoping its not too crazy!

Hope you had a good time and got what you wanted.

 

[tricia]

Awesome, and he looks happy so see the snow. We woke up to 6 inches of it this morning.

I picked up my new Brother 1250-D Innovis Machine on Wednesday!!!!! Talk about excited!!!
However, with one of my best friends getting married this weekend i don't have time to play

My question: What threads do you recommend and where can I get the best price???

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

We leave Friday morning, and I still have 1 project to finish (pajama pants for the kiddos). I promise to post pics of all the customs when we return. FYI, check out the Theme Park Strategies forum, "You might be a DIS-er if" thread, page 4. I gave a shout out to all you inspirational ladies...

You are probably on your way! Hope you and your family have a great trip.

How crazy is it that I just finished buying all the fabric for our customs for our Christmas Disney trip- in 2011? That's right girls I have dates chosen with a starter itinerary, including suggested ADR's, and exactly what outfit dd will be wearing every day soi could be sure to buy the right yardage, etc. Fwiw, I scored most of it on a great sale, but I am starting to wonder if I need professional help, or maybe medication of some kind- so... Is it too soon to start sewing them?

Not crazy at all - I think that is a great idea. We leave in 3 weeks and I still have so much to do, and I am starting to panic...wishing I had planned that far in advance.

you crack me up!!!!!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

DITTO! I sometimes think some designers should be ashamed to take money for their quality of work. I am a design snob and freely admit it! I will never again take an untested design and put it on a shirt without testing it first!


+++++++++++

On another note, I leave for Disney in just 47 hours. So, why am I up at 4am you might ask! I am waiting for the cold/flu/allergy meds to start working... yes I am SICK! (and my computer is attempting to run a diagnostics and is not cooperating with the typing!)

I am NOT cancelling this trip, no matter what! I have this terrible feeling I will be sitting in a hotel room while everyone else is enjoying Disney!!
And, while the rest of the family is enjoying Turkey, I'll probably be at the emergency room waiting on pneumonia test results! Oh what joy the holiday brings!


Nini

Oh no..I hope you get lots of rest, and feel better soon.

What a sweet family...I really wish I could help out with this one, but I already have so much to do within the next few weeks. I do plan on participating in more Big give after the holidays.

Last night we had an amazing evening at Disney on Ice. I made a Toy Story shirt for Andrew to wear. Here is a couple photos from this morning. The one from last night, at the show, is on my camera which is in the van, which is outside in all that snow! I will share it later! I don't know why they are sideways.....they aren't on photobucket?? Sorry.

Love the bowling shirts! I need to make my ds couple before our trip.

BTW- saw TANGLED today (at the local cinemark in 3D April) It Was Awesome! Amazon has the Mp3 download for the whole album for 3.99 today- I'm listening now

Glad you enjoyed the movie..we loved it, too!!

I think I might be skipping JoAnns...of course, it is already 9am here and everything is probably already sold out. I went last year, and it took forever to get through the cutting line and the registers.

It was a tractor pulling a load of pumpkins, 5x7 size. I will be uploading pics soon and I'll post a picture of the lovely design If you'd like the name of the seller please PM me and I'll share.

I bought a tractor and pumpkin design as well also in 5x7, and I had some trouble with it. Wonder if it was from the same seller.

I picked up my new Brother 1250-D Innovis Machine on Wednesday!!!!! Talk about excited!!!
However, with one of my best friends getting married this weekend i don't have time to play

My question: What threads do you recommend and where can I get the best price???

Yay on the new machine! Have fun! I love Isacord thread for my embroidery and I usually buy them from a local shop. I know a lot of the disboutiquers also love Marathon thread.

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

Sorry for the drive by; will catch up on the thread tonight, I promise
I've been working on FSL ornaments for Christmas gifts, but also managed to get these done this week:

Thanksgiving outfits (they will be worn w/ matching brown shirts underneath, kiddos just didn't want to cooperate: (sorry for the quircky pose- also DS will not be wearing mickey balloon shorts w/ his ensemble LOL.)

And of course customs for Tangled:

DD will wear hers over a long sleeve T; simple, but effective- especially w/ all Heathersue's embroidery designs For those who don't know, the T-giving dress is a vida (a farbenmix pattern) and the Rapunzel dress is a simply sweet (by CarlaC avail at YCMT)

Love the customs, especially the Tangled customs! I love Pascal, and think my ds would love a shirt like that.

We're going on a cruise in a few days, so I've been busy this week sewing for Rebecca. My goal is for her to have a play outfit to wear every day, and some dresses for dinner, with 2 of those little girl formal for the 2 formal nights. This is my 2nd Feliz...I had made on e last year and she absolutely hated it. This time I was originally going to keep it hidden until it was time to wear it, but she caught me doing the embroidery and loved it! Go figure When she tried it on for this pic, she didn't want to take it off. The ship will be decorated for Christmas, so I decided to make some of her things Christmasy.

This one is a pattern from the latest issue of Australian Smocking & Embroidery. My true love for sewing things for little girls is hand smocking, something I've not done much of recently. I still need to put in the hem, so it's a little long. The close up really doesn't do it justice, it looks prettier in person.

Now that my dresses are done, the playclothes will be faster, so hopefully I can get a bunch of fun things done for her.

Wow..you have been busy! They are all really cute. Love the smocking..is that hard to do?

Yesterday was a massive sewing/monogramming day! I reworked a few dresses from last year's trip since DD7 has grown. Here is what we will be wearing soon at WDW!!!

Thanksgiving shirts!

BBB and Cinderella's Royal Table Lunch

Hollywood Studios

Animal Kingdom

Dinner at O'hanna

Epcot

Magic Kingdom

Dinner at 1900 Park Fare (DS5 is so excited about the Ladies on his shirt!!)

They are all so adorable, so are your kids!

I went too!! 14 shirts for 18 bucks is what I got - awesome!!! Also did a lot of flannel and fleece from Joanns, and stuff from walmart, target and kmart!!! lol

Question - has anyone appliqued on a 1 layer fleece blanket? If so, what did you use for stabilizer, a tear away? I dont want the back of the fleece to be crummy looking - is there any way to get around needing a 2nd layer of fleece? This is for Tim - he requested I make him a big boy blanket for his Christmas present ( I love that kid!!!) so I got all toy story colors, and am going to embroider the characters on the big blocks. got 1/2 yard of 5 colors (red, lime, orange, yellow and a medium blue). Any suggestions on square sizes? should I just cut each 1/2 yard into 4 squares? do you think it will look okay if I just do the edges like a rag quilt?or should I not clip the edges?????

 

[billwendy]

Here is an updated list so we can keep this up to date - Im half asleep, so please tell me if Im making mistakes!! lol!! And remember, this needs to be shipped ASAP!!!! lol!!!
