[kelly1218]

THanks Guys!!!

Kade's Daddy said that he was having trouble breathing! Has a terrible cough - maybe croup or something....poor little guy!!!

Thanks for the comments on the bag! Mom loved yours Ellen!! Since they are so into animals, I thought I'd try to combine the disney/animal thingi and came up with that. I tried to do the strap like yours ellen!!!

Has anyone seen any disney/mickey beach appliques? I want to make something for Kade and Jackson, and the beach is the only thing that hasnt been covered....ideas?

oh...poor Kade. Good thoughts for him.

I love that bag!

page 7!! Wow, I need to get with the program! I'm so exicted I have something to show! My daughters class didn't have their Valentine's party until today so I took pics of them wearing their vday outfits that I made! Not really sure what kind of pose my oldest is striking! But my youngest was so excited to have something made by mommy! Not sure I'll ever take apart a pair of jeans again. They came out cute...but they were a pain!

Thanks for letting me share!
Erica

Those turned out very cute! Cute little girls too, I might add!

So, not Disbou related really but kinda Disney-

I have had a girls only trip to see the Christmas decs next Nov. decided since last June. Thought of literally hundreds of options, plans, etc. and finally decided on a split stay Dolphin and POFQ with a night in the middle at RPR at Uni (please don't tell Mickey I'm cheating with Harry). Then I was planning a trip next Sept. w/ DS to have a mom/son trip and enjoy free dining and MNSSHP- we really love that party. Well, with obviously too much time on my hands I started thinking- I know, dangerous- that DS is completely star wars obsessed literally, 24/7; and he only got one morning at SWW last year, and it's his 10th B-day the beginning of June, and one thing led to another... yep, Sept. off, June on! But, that gave me three less months to save- oops. Some of you know we tried our first off site trip last june. Parts of it were great- the pool right outside the door, parking right in front, lots of space... some things weren't- wrong size bed, water dripping from the ceiling, maintenance guys trying over and over to fix said leak, etc. The people that we rented from did give us a $100 refund and also offered 25% off if we stayed again before the end of 2011- those who know me have probably guessed where this is going... I changed our ressie, and now we're booked at another house owned by the same people (they did fix the problem btw; way more space than we need; 3 bedrooms for 3 girls) but the pool and $800 savings was super seductive. And here's my guilty secret only y'all know. One of the deciding factors was actually that Grinchmas starts at Uni the last two days of our trip, and by renting the house I had to move that part to the end... How bad is it that I changed a whole trip around, in reality, because I had super cute absolutely perfect fabric for a Grinch custom?

Too funny Nicole. However, I have to say I have a huge stash of Disney fabrics and NO trip planned. The fabrics are "just in case" we get to go in the next say....3 yrs or so!

My first Carla C.! Now to finish the duplicate for the identical twin! Only I am reversing the prints for her. Thanks for all your inspiration!

Love the fabrics. You did a great job!

I just finished sewing this fabric into a summer shirt for our next trip. I found it tonight and LOVED the pattern! Also sewed on the grosgrain ribbon straps and bows. DD is not wanting to take this off

Great shirt, beautiful daughter...and as someone else already said...she looks like Ariel!

I thought I would go ahead and share the things I've made for Kaitlyn this year.

Mardi Gras outfit--Kaity had just gotten woken up from a nap and changed into this for a cousin's party when we took this, hence the expressions.

Oh, and there is officially money in my savings account towards an embroidery machine!

All of the outfits are super cute. I especially love the Mardi Gras outfit. The colors look so pretty on her. BTW....Kaity is a DOLL!

I went to visit Big Give recipient Khelsey and her family today. I posted some pics of them opening gifts on Khelsey's pretrip report but really didn't get good photos of the items themselves while there, so I am posting now.

But before I do that I have to say WOW!!!! What a talented group of ladies we have! Scouthawkks Seaworld outfits were gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I love the little dolphin button on Khelsey's! Pipers oufits were awesome! Purple Ears Patricia tunic was soooo much prettier in person -- photos just don't do these outfits justice! Woodkins Barney outfit arrived while I was there and there was so much great detail in the paint that didn't show in the photos -- like the little sparkly paint around the bow. CJbear and RMAMoms bags were awesome. Beautiful blankets and pillowcases from BalletMom97....AWESOME eye spy bags and a cube from Above H20 (her sewing is flawless!!!). The tie dye shirts were fabulous -- the crayon roll ups were perfect, cute busy bags and family survival kits, the "K" bracelets and light up Mickey ears -- I know there was more and I apologize to those I haven't mentioned, but it was overwhelming to see the quality work everyone did.

Anyway, Khelsey and family are the SWEETEST

Here is what I made:
Luggage tags for all: Side with names:

It is just amazing how many things you made! You did a wonderful job and how sweet of you to hand deliver them. I bet they were thrilled!

Any one know the color of Flynn Rider's eyes?

I see you already have your answer but I just had to ask....Is this a question you would have imagined yourself asking several years ago?

I finished my nephews birthday present. I can't believe he is 8 yrs old today! He has a fascination with vehicles and he really like construction vehicles but I couldn't find any fabric so I settled on race cars.

She uses flannel for the road, I used cotton and a piece of ribbon for the lines and I think it works just fine.[/QUOTE]

Very cute...I bet he loved it.

Great job....love the colors! I have some of that Mickey fabric too. I love how you used the Hawaiian Minnie Head for the applique.

[quote="froggy33, post: 40025806"]Finished! This has been have done for a while now! I had the day to myself so I finished it up! Now I jsut hope we have a trip to wear it on.

Thanks for looking!
Jessica

Can't even make a thumbnail out of this picture! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone - can you please say a quick prayer for my little buddy Kade? I had emailed his dad a question, and he came back with "We are in the ER with KADE!!!!" Please say a prayer for this little guy - he has no reserve, so any little thing can really take a toll on him!!!! I'll keep you updated!!



Jessica - one word - AMAZING!!!!



People have just filled little bags (even paper ones) with fun things for the kids to do on the trip. Sticker books, little trinkets and games - Im even wondering for Jackson if one of those car cozies would be good for his bag...for Kade it would be more books, music, etc and both boys LOVE candy - there is more on his Big Give Thread about ideas....THANK YOU!!!!

Finally finished the Rosetta bag for Korissa's big give - mom wanted the large and it is HUGE!!!! I could easily fit 2 Zoey's in there!!! lol....

Prayers being said tonight for little Kade! Wendy, love the Rosetta bag.

Good news! I finally got around to opening my Etsy shop last night, listed 22 things so far and ALREADY SOLD MY FIRST ONE!! SO EXCITED!

 

[froggy33]

That is an amazing dress! Hopefully the dress will get a chance to shine in May!

Gorgeous!!!!

LOVE! Is that the Breann dress I posted you were going to try or did you modify the simply sweet?

The IASW dress is amazing! Wow, that is a dress for the ride if there ever was one.

Thanks all!! I actually just modified the simply sweet halter top. I made it a little high ender the arms, peaked the bodice just a bit, and made the back a little longer with 3 rows of elastic. Plus I did the long straps with the loops.

I really hope all is well with Kade!!

 

[disneywatcher]

Well I finished my 1st Vida. I had trouble with lining the bodice, but I finally figured it out. The only thing I still need to do is but the elastic under the arms but then I will be done!!.

And of course we got to have Mickey:

I was waiting to see pics of this after you mentioned it on the July planning board! It looks awesome! I really need to get an embroidry machine for myself.

Finished! This has been have done for a while now! I had the day to myself so I finished it up! Now I jsut hope we have a trip to wear it on. We MAY be going on a one day EPCOT trip in May, but it looks like it might fall through. Oh well. I'm happy with the dress either way!!

Thanks for looking!
Jessica

One word......WOW!

Froggy,
That dress is beautiful!
Can I ask - what kind of machine do you have? I love the size of the designs on the panels. They are very eye-catching.

Thanks,

WOW!!!!! STUNNING!!!

I will glady do the airplane busy bags for both boys especially if someone can point me to a source. I know I've seen them before, and I've been searching since you posted the request a while ago, but now, of course, I can't find any airplane bags that people have done in the past. I've searched page 1 links, but there are a lot of them (and I don't see airplane busy bags specifically) and with the ship date fast approaching, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel.

If you want to sew a busy bag just make any kind of fabric tote and fill it with things listed in the pixie dust thread on the Big Give -- any items listed that will keep the kids busy on the plane. Most busy bags I've seen were done by non-sewers and they just decorate a paper gift bag. If you do a search for a "tote bag tutorial" I know there are tons of free bag patterns out there.

BTW, what tutorial did you use for your Eye Spy bags for the K girls? I found a tute that I am tweaking to make my bag look similar to yours. Yours was done so professional looking!!! Do you hand sew it closed?

HELP PLEASE! I'm looking all over the bookmarks, and I know I saw it there once when I wasn't ready to start the project and now I can't find it

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the tutorial on how to add a sash/bow to the Simple Sweet?

TIA!

If you go to YouCanMakeThis.com Carla has a FREE sash/bow pattern on there. It takes a lot of fabric but it is the prettiest bow!

II did snowboard today. I DIDN'T hit my head. I only fell a little once. There was 12 inches of new powder and we were waist deep getting face shots all day. Now I am exhausted and going to bed.

Congrats on being kind to your head today

I saw Kade is already back home -- YAY! Hopefully he's breathing easier tonight.

Your bag is gorgeous and how smart of you to incorporate the animal fabric! I love those fabric choices. I still can't figure out a rolled hem on my serger so I likely will just stick with the Avilo tote. As a matter of fact, my serger and I had a very long drawn out fight last night that involved numerous rethreads and finally a needle change to solve the problem!

It is just amazing how many things you made! You did a wonderful job and how sweet of you to hand deliver them. I bet they were thrilled!


Good news! I finally got around to opening my Etsy shop last night, listed 22 things so far and ALREADY SOLD MY FIRST ONE!! SO EXCITED!

Thanks for the compliments -- loved meeting the family. They are really a neat group.

Congrats on your Etsy shop! I am not the least bit surprised that you already have a sale. I always contemplate doing one but I think it might be too involved. Do you need a small business license and such?

 

[VBAndrea]

I am looking for a pattern to make a zippered bag or tote bag to carry in the parks. My mom insists on a zipper. I'm not crafty enough to figure out how to add that to an existing pattern.

I use the Aivilo pocket tote for my bags -- I love having all the pockets and I even add extras on the inside and make the outer pockets smaller. It goes together fairly easily. I have only made it with the magnetic snap closure, but there are instructions for adding a zipper, which I may try in the future.

Where is my drool bib?? STUNNING Jessica!!

 

[babynala]

sorry in advance for the long quote but I was away from the computer ALL weekend and you guys have been busy!

Boy Oh Boy do I have good news! I must say, all the prayers must have worked! I got an email this morning that my Aunt's biopsy results came back and she does not have cancer! She has Sarcoidosis, which can be serious, but she is happier with the outlook this has than the cancer, as is her DR. So, she still needs prayers but the joy of not facing cancer for her is such a blessing! She feels a lot better! Again, I always love the support you guys offer! I could not ask for a better group of friends!

It is nice to hear such good news.

My first Carla C.! Now to finish the duplicate for the identical twin! Only I am reversing the prints for her. Thanks for all your inspiration!

Great job, the fabric choices you made are beautiful.

How bad is it that I changed a whole trip around, in reality, because I had super cute absolutely perfect fabric for a Grinch custom?

So funny, plus you are saving all that money. I think the house sounds like it will be fun and less moving around is probably a good thing. Besides this is a good thing for all of your friends on the board since we can't wait to see your Grinch custom!!

I just finished sewing this fabric into a summer shirt for our next trip. I found it tonight and LOVED the pattern! Also sewed on the grosgrain ribbon straps and bows. DD is not wanting to take this off. QUOTE]
I love how you added the ribbon straps and the bows. The shirt looks great.

Not Disney or disboutique related, but I wanted to share pics of the newest addition to our family. This is Dude, our red eared slider.

We were not looking to adopt any other living creature, but a military friend of ours moved last week and wasn't looking to take the turtle with her (she wound up with it from another military friend). My youngest two fell in love with him, so we took him home with us. I have never owned anything non furry before, but he is just the funniest little guy. I didn't realize that turtles had such personality!

I guess I'm going to go order the next batch of tshirts for Big Gives and then play around on my new Nook for awhile. It just arrived today and it's sitting her calling my name!

Cute Dude. How are you enjoying your nook? Do you find that you are reading when you should be doing other things or that you are reading when you would otherwise be doing nothing (since you have it with you all the time)?

I sold my first design on etsy! So excited! Just thought I'd share.

Congrats!

And I bought it!!!! Can't wait to use it!

So funny.

I have given up for today but I did get him to go once today.

I just don't want to make it into torture because he will shut down. He does go every night before bed on the toilet so we are just taking it one step at a time.

You should continue to celebrate the successess. You don't want to make yourself crazy or too frustrated.

I thought I would go ahead and share the things I've made for Kaitlyn this year.

Jumpsuit for Imagination Movers concert (Kira graciously took care of the embroidery for me...and wonderfully we got to sit right front and back of each other at the show!) This was a horrible, horrible Butterick pattern. And it figured Carla came out with a jumpsuit pattern with girly options two weeks after I'd bought, cut out, and started working on the Butterick. LOL

Mardi Gras outfit--Kaity had just gotten woken up from a nap and changed into this for a cousin's party when we took this, hence the expressions.

Oh, and there is officially money in my savings account towards an embroidery machine!

Love all the easy fit pants. Your DD is so cute. The Mardi Gras outfit is really sweet, the ruffles are so cute and I love the picture of her yawning. I LOVE the girly IM outfit you made for her.

I just got the call, my DVC sold within 24 hours of listing.

Congratulations. I have to say I am a litte surprised that it sold so quick. I'm not familiar with DVC resales but it seems that nothing is selling quick these days.

Been a busy few days here and you guys are already on page 10. WOW!! I have to say, everything posted lately is super cute, and the kiddo's are all adorable! Been saying prayers for all who need them.
I mistakenly thought I had another week to do Korissa's give, but thankfully, somebody mentioned it on here, and then, I realized the real time frame. I got the shirts done last night, and posted the pix on the big give site this afternoon. I will mail them out on Tuesday.
I will also be mailing these blankets to Lisa on Tuesday. We originally signed up for 5, but ended up making 12. Glad we could be a part of this. It really is amazing!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm going to start my very first Simply Sweet. I read over the directions, and it looks very straight forward, so I'm excited!!! I'll keep ya posted on my progress.

Wow, that is alot of blankets. I'm sure Lisa will be so grateful of all your hardwork.

I went to visit Big Give recipient Khelsey and her family today. I posted some pics of them opening gifts on Khelsey's pretrip report but really didn't get good photos of the items themselves while there, so I am posting now.
Anyway, Khelsey and family are the SWEETEST
Here is what I made:
Rag Quilt for Khelsey (the red looks really bright in that photo -- I think it looks better in person):

And to think, I only signed up to make two bibs! But when I found out this family lived in a neighboring city I felt compelled to make more. I am so glad I did. They are such a wonderful family!!!!

WOW, wow, wow. You really did a fabulous job making so many things and delivering them in person. I love everything you made especially the rag quilt. The wheelchair decorations are great.

.I have to share my fabric find of the day! I was at Fabricland as they had a 50% off sale today. I found this fabric in their bargin section - 100% cotton at $4/metre ($2/metre after the discount!)

I think I now have the right fabric to make outfits for Animal Kingdom (though I wondered after the fact if I should have bought more of the animal print!) I also saw the polka dot fabric Squirrel referred to in an earlier post, though my store wanted $15/metre for them at the regular price.

Great score on the fabric. I really like the animal print - can't wait to see your creation.

I finished my nephews birthday present. I can't believe he is 8 yrs old today! He has a fascination with vehicles and he really like construction vehicles but I couldn't find any fabric so I settled on race cars.

Beautiful - the colors you chose look really nice together.

Gorgeous. All of your designs look great and I love the way you put it all together. Really nice job. Hope to see some pictures of your DD wearing it to Epcot in May.

Finally finished the Rosetta bag for Korissa's big give - mom wanted the large and it is HUGE!!!! I could easily fit 2 Zoey's in there!!! lol....

I'm glad Kade is home from the ER. Hope he continues to feel better.
I love your Rosetta bag - the animal print really adds a nice touch. I think Zoey would be happy in there.

Good news! I finally got around to opening my Etsy shop last night, listed 22 things so far and ALREADY SOLD MY FIRST ONE!! SO EXCITED!

How exciting and I'm not surprised. All of your creations are so cute. I love your store name.

Wendy, did you have fun making the bag? Is it a large? It is very fun!


RAMom, I like the car holder but forgot to grab a picture. It is a great idea to keep the little boys happy with the cars.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

VBAndrea,
I forgot to grab the photo but I really like your luggage tags. Did you use a pattern or just sew on the go? I think they are a great idea.

If you go to YouCanMakeThis.com Carla has a FREE sash/bow pattern on there. It takes a lot of fabric but it is the prettiest bow!

only 1 or 2 of you know this. my dd fell in love with peterpan when she was 2, while we were on the peter pan ride in MK. Since then, we have ridden it countless times, had peter pan and hook parties, own all the peter pan movie, cartoon and live action ( and hook) and have seen peter pan the broadway show. So this makes this picture hilarious! she has said for a couple of years now PP is her boyfriend and she is goning to marry pp.
