Ladies I was going through my cedar chest and found some vintage tees from when I was little. I would love to upcycle them for my youngest. Is there a set of directions anywhere that you recommend?

Well, I was going to recommend Little Blue Boo on Facebook to you, but I see you are already a fan. I haven't tried the patterns yet, but she has 2 patterns for upcycle dresses. Also, I think Stephres has used CarlaC;s raglan pattern to make upcycled dresses, it would be on her blog http://stephres.wordpress.com/2009/06/06/fun-with-t-shirts/
 
I also made part of dd's pirate costumes. For dd I made a asymentrical peasant top (which will double as her perforance top for Violin) and a self drafted corset. She wore it with a petti type skirt she has had for a while and some fishnet tights we got after Halloween on clearance.

This is awesome! I think EE is going to need one of these Lilo dresses when we finally take them.

[quote="peachygreen, post: 39150763"]Husbands - Honestly! I just did my 1st real applique. Its just a Mickey head but I sewed it on. I bring it to him to see what he says and he actually has the nerve to tell me that it is off by an 1/8th of an inch. Are you kidding me - you are going to tell me that the ears are not level by an 1/8th of an inch with your naked eye. I actually measured it after he said something and it is about 1/16th of an inch and by the time I sew the shirt together I doubt you could see it. but really you are going to comment on that?????

Did you string him up by his toes? I think I probably would have hope he is being nicer.

Please continue to sign up and to spread the word!!!!!!
Wendy can I post on my FB about joining or are we to the point of overkill yet? Since I know a lot of adoptive parents I am sure someone would be interested in making some. :goodvibes

Since my DSs are a little beyond the cute embroidery designs I like for little ones, I have to compromise and stitch out stuff like this if I want them to wear it.

I really like that. My boys would love it. Did you stitch it wihtout extra material? What a cool idea!

Finally took pictures of the shirts I have been working on.
This is the Belle Cutie I made for my Daughter to go with her skirt.

I feel kind of silly but I had no idea she did patterns lol. Someone sent me that page about buying clothes when I got tired of a certain brand and was looking for a change.
I will check into the blog too ty so much . :goodvibes

The Skull embroidery was not meant to be an applique, that is how it stitches out. It is from www.urbanthreads.com and is on sale right now for $1. It is one of their 'scribbles' patterns. I love that site for my tween/teen boys.

Oh LOVE! Thank you so much for posting! I do not have a machine yet but I will no doubt be buying from them once we do. I must have the wordy bird I am a huge Poe fan. :goodvibes

I just bought that one too :thumbsup2. Haven't stitched it out yet. Didn't realize you didn't have an embroidery machine. Anyway, once you do, everything I have bought from them has stitched out very well.
 
just thought I would share a bag that I finished this last weekend...I was thinking it might be good for the big gives, what do you all think?:confused3

this is one from heathersue and once I figured out in my own head how to hoop the bag, it stitched out so easily and wonderfully!

thanks for looking.

Wendy, PM me your address. I know I ask you that once a month probably. I'll send you some gingerbread cookies for the girls.

I'll add the little bows that are supposed to be on them though.

ETA - That is the only playfood I have ever made in the hoop (or at all) although I always think I'll make more.
THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! I would love to make these for DD! She is starting to do all the play kitchen things.

Husbands - Honestly! I just did my 1st real applique. Its just a Mickey head but I sewed it on.

I'm having the hardest time finishing a simple skirt for my youngest. 1st I couldn't find the 1/4" elastic I needed and now I ran out of red thread. ARRGH!

Mine did the same kind of stuff when I was making the ruffle backs of the Feliz dress - "you know your lines are crooked" - I did smack him.


I though Rapunzel's dress was lavendar too because I was going off the Barbie doll-type dolls and I made Joci's dress with a lavendar & a darker purple.Here she is next to her at the meet-n-greet.

Joci wants me to re-do her dress before the next trip.

I love the way her dress is...even if the color is not exactly the same, it is still super cute!!!:love:
 
I've finally caught up with you guys after not being on here since before Thanksgiving. I have no excuse except life sometimes gets in the way of sewing and the computer.

Everyone has been posting some really beautiful items. All I can say is WOW!

I hope everyone who is at the World is staying warm.
 
You are the only other person on here that I have seen has this machine. I also love mine but I am definatly gonna keep you in mind the next time I have a problem. I know that alot of other Brother users on here have a problem with C&C thread, but I don't with this machine, do you?

I'm having a problem with the automatic threader...I think it might have to do with my needles...I bought some new ones...But, I'm not really sure how to fix it! I haven't had any probs with C&C thread...knock on wood!

I agree. I just bought a design for a popular site and the design is peeling up. The satin stitching is SO narrow too. I wish all of the designs I need could come from Heather!
Sometimes I make designs with a smaller satin stitch because you can't get as much detail with a bigger one. I know its easier if you don't have to trim very close and if you have a big satin stitch, but it isn't always possible. I just don't want people thinking that digitzers are mean and dumb for not putting a big thick satin stitch around everything. Investing in some good applique scissors really does help. I saw the ones Teresa posted and those are great. I use them for cutting around things that are small and have corners and such.. for the bigger stuff I use applique scissors by gingher.. they are AWESOME!
you will get on your room keys "KeysToTheWorld -KTTW" your park tickets and dining credits if your on the dining plan or getting free dining when you check in.
Have a wonderful first trip!
Oh okay.. someone told me I would receive a packet from disney. I have not received anything.



Who else is going to be there in the next few days? I know I am just missing Tiffani. We are going to be at the Poly on the 11th and leave on the 17th! :dance3:

He is thrilled with it, usually hates for me to take his pic, but will allow it if he really loves the item.


Also, did a growth chart for a little boy for Christmas.

I love everything posted lately!! I'm quickly commenting because its been a long day and night, trying to get the Peach in bed... I hope to get a project started tomorrow! I hope that is. Wish me sewing luck. haha
 
*Toadstool* Oh okay.. someone told me I would receive a packet from disney. I have not received anything.

did you contact your TA? are you using ME at the airport? if you are you should of received luggage tags for ME. not sure what all you booked, but I would check with your TA or Disney who ever you booked through.

I will be there but you already knew that. I hope we can get to meet. Did you check the forecast it shows rain Thursday and Friday? I pray they are wrong.

Yes, and we are in the same parks on 3 days. lol.. purely TGM! ;)
Yes, I saw that. :( What do you do at disney when it rains?? just get wet? I totally didn't plan on bringing ponchos because I don't have any. Hannah has an all weather coat.
We have the same dates! :)
I sent you a message on FB with my park schedule in case we are in the same parks we can look out for each other.

I bet we will all spot each other easily. :goodvibes
I know Janet said she'd be there too. I really hope I run into her with her little girl in one of those gorgeous princess dresses.
