[MinnieVanMom]

Hoping to be around more as I really missed this thread....

Been a little busy with sewing and life, but one thing that Im really glad is to rejoin the Dis give,

I posted this dress before but I added the flower (emily's give)

and the headband to match the sleeping beauty

allison's give

Iron on tshirts

working on a cinderella (dress is hand basted ) simple slip on, as usual...

I am working on the pattern in differnt sizes and I am hoping to have them ready so I can send them to those of you who requested it (sorry it is taking me so long!!!!!!!)...

back to sewing

Just for show...

a 6 inches vida dress..... it's so cute!!!!!

Linnette

Linnette, you know you are just amazing and have a God given talent!

For a few of the guys, Phillies and Eagles fleeces (got the fleeces on black friday)

And for my totally preppy pink and green BFF Amy a double thick fleece blanket with special design (thanks Kathy for solving my polkadot letter problem!!!)

So Im caught up to the point of our Saturday party - lol!!! But have more to do for Christmas day - plus maybe something for Billy!!

Wendy, those are just great gifts, I love the cute blankets and you all are such huge Eagles fan.

Running out the door to work but wanted to say just amazing work.

I am in awe of everyone's work. I am teaching myself. I think after Christmas I will tackle Easy Fit pants and bowling shirts. When I am not stressed about a trip and holidays.

You are doing so well on learning. When you are ready ask me about the bowling shirt, I have made every mistake known.

You're welcome. My husband's best friend from seminary is currently in Haiti for six months. He was also there during the earthquake, but quite a ways away from the center of action.

I'm glad your blanket project got such a good reception. (It was my fist time using fleece, it's sooooooo soft .)

Glad your friend was safe. I hope the people of Haiti can rebuild and get their homes and lives back.

It just means that you are able to complete the whole project on your embroidery machine, usually with little to no other sewing required.

Thank you so very much, I am still learning.

can anyone tell me where to get plain white shirt for kids to add things to it? I have tried walmart but cant find any there. I am not sure where else to look. thanks

Jiffy shirts.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Here are the little kids pjs. Now just to do the big kids ones. I am praying I have enough fabric left since the second sheet set I ordered is not here yet. The fabric was thinner than I had hoped so I doubled it up

Ok, those kids are adorable and the jammies too. I used NBC sheets to make quilt for DD and jammies, no photos till after Christmas.

 

[miprender]

I am back from our short trip. We had so many comments on our shirts. All the CMs liked them. I was surprised that they had noticed them that much.

Our first day I saw someone with some custom shirts and asked them if they made them but they said a friend had made them for the family. Otherwise I never saw any other customs, but like some other posters we had our jackets on

I will post pictures later.

PS Love everything I saw. Especially the picture with the step sisters and the little boy. DS5 is still in shock from his first encounter with them when he was 4

 

[teresajoy]

I came home from work to a nasty message on the recorder about how they followed Disney 's guidelines and I should have had my problem addressed while I was there instead of waiting until I got home.

THAT is CRAZY!!! I can't believe they treated you so badly, that is totally unacceptable!

So cute BUT....how/when did Lydia get so BIG?


The next day I saw that the same manager was on duty so I go to tell her what happened and she laughed at me. Then she tells me it wasn't her fault. Maintenance told her those rooms were OK. I was furious at her reaction but decided I really couldn't waste any more energy or valuable trip time on it so I wrote a letter when I got home. I asked why the person trying to deliver my ME bags hadn't notified the front desk so they could have had our luggage in a new room? They could have handled it so much better. I got a call from the executive office and they refunded me 1/2 a night for our inconvenience.

I thought the same thing when I was looking at those pictures of Lyddie! She has grown up more than I have noticed lately!!

And, wow, about that room! That is just insane!! And, for the manager to act like it was no big deal???? geesh! Some of these CMs need a little bit more training!

Linnette

Linnette, you are amazing!!! You make such beautiful things!! I love that little Vida!!! What is it for?

Simple slip on dress? Umm, ok...anyone else think she's underplaying that? Girlfriend, you do amazing "simple" stuff!!!

My EXACT thoughts!!!

Running out the door to work but wanted to say just amazing work.

I am in awe of everyone's work. I am teaching myself. I think after Christmas I will tackle Easy Fit pants and bowling shirts. When I am not stressed about a trip and holidays.

I was going to tell you to ask April if she had any questions with the bowling shirt, but I see she already offered!

can anyone tell me where to get plain white shirt for kids to add things to it? I have tried walmart but cant find any there. I am not sure where else to look. thanks

Depending on how nice they need to be, you could pick up a package of white undershirts in the underwear section of the store. Some of those are actually fairly nice.

Hi, I am trying to post pix to the big give board of the pillowcases I made for Bryce and his brother, but can't figure out how to do this. I have the pic in "my pictures" on my computer and just can't get it to transfer. Please help. Thank you!

Nevermind, I got a photobucket account and uploaded from there. Seems to have worked.

 

[weluvdizne]

I can't figure out how to post this on the big give site, so here is a picture of the pillowcases I made for Bryce and his brother!

Sorry it's so huge.

Nevermind, I think I got it to work on the big give site finally.

I have picked them up at Target even Old Navy occasionally.

The pjs and your kids are so adorable! Can't wait to see the rest of them.

Ha thanks me too lol.

Ok, those kids are adorable and the jammies too. I used NBC sheets to make quilt for DD and jammies, no photos till after Christmas.

Thanks so much
Is the NBC fabric thick or see through? I was really debating ordering it to make the boys shorts this summer and DD a dress or something.

I am back from our short trip. We had so many comments on our shirts. All the CMs liked them. I was surprised that they had noticed them that much.

*sings* bob the builder.can we fix it. bob the builder.yes we can

 

[ireland_nicole]

Thanks Ladies- I really appreciate your comments and feedback! The doll carrier especially was fun- and thanks for telling me my quilting is not terrible- of course, I have to look at it close up LOL!

Teresa Joy- Don't know how I lost the photo, but I love the apron, and the picture is Awesome!! I can't believe how big she's getting!

We have a large truck with a hard cover over the bed. (you know the ones with a back seat.) Doesn't get great gas mileage, but is tons more comfortable on long trips than my mini van!

We even tried to fold it up to take up less space...but it was too big for the room. We had to carry him to the room each night, unless we wanted to take another trip out to the parking lot. He weighs 95 pounds...I am still only allowed to lift 30 pounds...so it became Daddy's decision to carry or make the extra trip.

Which I guess explains why having a ground floor room close to the parking lot is so important to us! He will not do elevators! So we had to carry him up the stairs. At least they didn't put us on the third floor!

I really only wrote Disney because I needed to vent. If their attitude had been better I would have let the whole thing go with my complaint to the manager. She originally asked me if I thought my son would enjoy eating at the castle...I told her we had done that the night before...so she was out of ideas. I guess three deflated balloons and Mickey and Minnie's autograph had the same 'value' to her! LOL

But over all...I still love CSR. But we are seriously thinking of POFQ this next trip. Now if the school would just hurry and release their calendar for next year I could start planning!

Does any one have any ideas on how to get a tween to wear customs to the park? I'm not above bribery....doesn't she understand that this is half my fun!

Nini

First of all, great minds think alike; My first thought was bribery LOL. Maybe you could work out a compromise? She pics the style, but the theme works w/ the family; or just shirts some days, etc? I thought based on dimensions that the Liberty was about the same size as the city classic double (a little shorter, narrower, slightly higher- but similar) and was hoping I could handle it- now I'm having doubts...hmm. I'm so sorry for your experience, it sounds awful!

Here are the little kids pjs. Now just to do the big kids ones. I am praying I have enough fabric left since the second sheet set I ordered is not here yet. The fabric was thinner than I had hoped so I doubled it up

So, so, so cute!

Linnette

First off- missed you!!! Second, I want to sew like you when I grow up! Third, if you ever do a pattern for a doll size "vida" I would pay anything, anything I tell you- I love that pattern for Caitie but can't figure out how to make it fit her AG dolls or bitty baby.

Adorable Callie!!! your crew is so CUTE!!

Okay - a few gifts done -

For a few of the guys, Phillies and Eagles fleeces (got the fleeces on black friday)

And for my totally preppy pink and green BFF Amy a double thick fleece blanket with special design (thanks Kathy for solving my polkadot letter problem!!!)

So Im caught up to the point of our Saturday party - lol!!! But have more to do for Christmas day - plus maybe something for Billy!!

Love 'em- the blanket is sooooo adorable!

IrelandNIcole, How hard was it to modify the baby carrier? I'm wondering if I can modify for 18" dolls...I'm just learning to follow a pattern, the thought of modifying one scares me!

well, it's easier to modify to 15 inches than 18, but I think it would be doable. There'd just be an extra seam, and I think you'd have to reinforce the bottom. I can work with you on it if you decide to get the pattern. I know the author gave me the modifications someone else did and I think they would have worked.

Thanks! My DS loves them! My DD thinks they are mean and would prefer NOT to ever see them again!

I am loving all of the creations!!!

Linette, LOVE that cinderella dress!!! So NOT simple because if it is I want to know how to make it!!!

I also loved the Peppermint PJs!!!

Wendy, love the fleece!!!

This Sums up my DD's personality!

DD getting to meet her favorite fairy!!!

DHS
During the show a cast member came up to me and said the cast wanted to have a private meet and greet with DD after the show -- she had been to 2 of them in a week and DANCED her heart out at each show. It was GREAT!!!

Minnie taking DD around to show off her outfit!

Minnie loving William's Mickey design.

Whew...I think that hits the highlights!!!

 

[PurpleEars]

Urgh. I am behind again!

Good afternoon all!!

More cuteness! I just love these guys and can't wait to have a finished dress - even though I still have no trip for my daughter to wear it on!

Wow! They look amazing! I am looking forward to seeing the dress when it is put together.

A comfy, warm, and cute-looking PJ! I bet she is thrilled!

We just got back from 10 days at Disney!! It was a fun trip -- COLD for most of the days and like Ellen said....we had jackets covering up their shirts and outfits!!! But at least we could take off the jackets inside.

It was a fantastic trip! We stayed at the Poly and loved it!!!

Animal Kingdom

Thanks for sharing your pictures. Your family looks so cute in the pictures. I really like the ones with your whole family in front of the castle and in front of the ball at Epcot (you posted them after I started this multiquote exercise). The clothes look great in action!

I've been super busy- but then aren't we all? I'm almost done with the FSL ornaments, and I've finished a few Christmas things too.

First is a Tshirt for DS per request, Santa Pluto:

Next, DD wanted a Christmas outfit but not red and green, pref. w/ pink- here's what I came up with:

the pic isn't great, I'll try to get a better one w/ her in it; it's the gored skirt from Indigo Junction and I got the embroidery design from Etsy

Then I made DD a doll carrier and quilt for the bitty baby grandma is getting her for Christmas- I want to make some matching outfits for the doll w/ the scraps, but not sure I'll get to that before Christmas... The doll carrier is the one on YCMT w/ some modifications to make it fit a 15 inch doll; the pattern was super easy and quick- I'll definitely make more. The quilt is one I started at a beginner piecing class. Yeah, I am a really lousy quilter...

Nice outfits. Your quilt look fine to me. I think you are being too hard on yourself.

We have a large truck with a hard cover over the bed. (you know the ones with a back seat.) Doesn't get great gas mileage, but is tons more comfortable on long trips than my mini van!

We even tried to fold it up to take up less space...but it was too big for the room. We had to carry him to the room each night, unless we wanted to take another trip out to the parking lot. He weighs 95 pounds...I am still only allowed to lift 30 pounds...so it became Daddy's decision to carry or make the extra trip.

Nini

Sorry to hear about the troubles with your stay at CSR. I would be furious if I was in your situation. CSR is my favourite place to stay, though I am not sure if we ever had a trip there where we didn't need to switch rooms after the first night because of problems. In terms of ideas for a tween to wear to the park...how about something a little bit more "grown up" but still look fun? Would she go for something like this?

(It was my "third time is a charm" skirt from my August trip. That was the third one I made for that trip because the first one was too big thanks to my weight lost efforts, the embroidery machine ate the second one, and the third one is the one pictured.)

For those of you who read music - yes it is actually a real piece of music from the Disney collection.

Here are the little kids pjs. Now just to do the big kids ones. I am praying I have enough fabric left since the second sheet set I ordered is not here yet. The fabric was thinner than I had hoped so I doubled it up

Cute PJ's. Hopefully you will have enough fabric left to finish them off!

Those look absolutely amazing! I am in awe!

Oh a side note, I have to say Carla C's patterns and instructions were absolutely amazing! I read through her instructions and made a couple of modified bowling shirts without any problems. I am actually going to make a "non-modified" one now. It should be interesting to see how well I follow instructions!

 

[billwendy]

oooh -is it WHen you Wish Upon a Star????

Does anyone think that maybe they could do an outfit, or even a fun tshirt for our Wish Kiddo Wendy? Speaking of a tween!!! lol - she is 12 and has 2 younger sisters. 1 of the younger sisters has more outfits than Wendy or her other sister - itd be so nice to make them even.....something Mickey would be cool for Wendy !!! She loves him!!! Please , if you have an idea - come on over!! It'd be so awesome!!!!!

 

[NaeNae]

I'm looking for ideas on how I can label or mark matching stuffed animals for my 5 grandkids. If I don't mark them somehow then I'm afraid there will be fights over whose is whose.

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

I've been super busy- but then aren't we all? I'm almost done with the FSL ornaments, and I've finished a few Christmas things too.


And just for fun, my Christmas present from my mom- sligtly OT, but Cute!

My DH bought me the barrel bag of the same pattern - It is my first "grown-up" purse as I have never had a real coach/Dooney/etc purse before. Did you know there are rules that go with the purse? like it is not allowed to touch the ground - my DD is very serious about this. The rules were told to me by a friend who loves purses.

Been busy just like all of you ladies I probably won't post til later this weekend or next week though - back to sewing.

 

[billwendy]

I'm looking for ideas on how I can label or mark matching stuffed animals for my 5 grandkids. If I don't mark them somehow then I'm afraid there will be fights over whose is whose.

Hmmm - could you stitch a little square with their name on it and then stitch it on the animal someplace?????

 

[AnnNan]

Hmmm - could you stitch a little square with their name on it and then stitch it on the animal someplace?????

I was going to say different ribbons or accessories, but I like Wendy's idea too or if they name their bears you could put the bears name on the patch. or even different placement & /or fabric for patches but would be identifiable by the bear's friend! Everyone would recognize theirs.

What a special thing for them to do!! That is so cool!

I just love seeing all of your pictures!

That is such a cute skirt!!!

I agree, Carla's patterns are pretty great!

I'm a musician, and I NEED that design! I LOVE IT! Could you tell me where I can find the design?
