Back from vacation, and way behind. I did lurk along some while on vacation, but didn't have good enough internet to spend time posting. Everything I did see looked great though!

My contribution since I got back are these matching sister outfits for my cousin who is scheduled to have a c-section tomorrow.

TMTQ!!! As usual, I'm behind in everything.

I managed to shorten the elastic in the skirts in time for the girls' birthday party. Grammy doing the hand applique on the shirts just did not work out. That is not a skill you can acquire in 2 sittings and she picked up this cold/cough that we've all had.

Anyway, here are the girls in their birthday outfits. They have now asked me for a red Minnie dress, a pink Minnie dress, a Belle dress, a Cinderella dress, a pink Cinderella dress, etc, etc. Sure, I'll whip those up tonight.

I finished a few more things this weekend. . .

Thanks for your kind comments on my creations. Your work is just so amazing!

My daughters and I hosted a lingerie shower this weekend. The couple is getting married at one of the huge resorts on Galveston Island in their outside gazebo this summer so we went with a beach theme for the whole shower. We did a full lunch table (with a ton of food which included crab cakes, crab dip and some chicken of the sea...aka chicken salad sandwiches)
We also did a cake/cookie/punch table. We decorated almost all of my living room, dining room, and breakfast room with beach items (fish, starfish, sand dollars, and candle holders with sand and shells in them). We got a lot of compliments on the decorations. Everything was aqua, peach and sand colored satin.

My youngest daughter and I decorated the cake. I know this isn't sewing related but it is the only creative thing I have to show for the weekend.

In addition to lingerie, I also made the couple tshirts for their Disneyworld honeymoon.

And I know I posted these dresses a couple weeks ago, but I had to show them off in action. I made them for my DGDs to wear to the Butterfly Festival @ their church this weekend. It was a beautiful day and since their mom was involved in doing so many activities for the festival and different booths, I had the fun part of following them around and keeping them out of trouble. It was a great time (well, until the end of the day...see more below).

Now for the bad news...I had to park across the street from the church in a school parking lot. When I left at the end, I backed into a car and scratched my bumper pretty badly and put a dent in the other persons car. I tried to be honest, went back to the church and asked around (even asked the people in charge at the church) if they knew who it belonged to. No one knew so after leaving the information with the church office, went back to the school to leave the info on the car and it was gone. I felt so bad but I tried. Hopefully, they will contact the church, but if it were me, I would never think to do that.

All in all, a very busy but fun weekend.

Sounds like you had a busy weekend. The cake and the shirts look fun. The dresses look even better in action. I am sorry to hear about your car. You did your best in contacting the other car's owner.

I love everything! And I know this is weird - but I love that Mickey head button... where did you find that?

D~

Thanks. The buttons came from the scrapbook section (they were stickers). I think these came from Joann's but I saw them at Michael's last week too. I just took the sticky part off and use them as regular buttons.

I love all of your clothing. It's neat that you used the Canadian fabric. I finally printed the striped jumper pattern from CarlaC, but when I saw how much fabric it takes I decided to wait until there's a Give I can use it for, and not just make a prototype (that's what I tend to do).

Everyone needs Mickey bling!

Thanks. I was hoping that family would get chosen for a Give when I saw the fabric in the store. I am glad they did!

My Mickey bling more or less only gets worn at Disney parks

Just stopping by to see if my NEW TICKER is working!!!! Yipee! I get to go back this year. But I get to keep it a surprise! We are just going for Halloween weekend. Should be fun! This is if all works out just right with DH's vacations...should find out soon....but I am planning now.


Also, wanted to share that FIL's wife's mother passed yesterday. This is a very hard time for her I know so please remember her. I never met her mother as she has had dementia and in a nursing home since my FIL married his wife, but they both loved her very much and I am sure her family will miss her very much.

Hopefully your vacation plans will work out. I am sorry to hear about your FIL's wife's mother. Your FIL's wife has been through so much lately. I will keep her in my prayers.

Oh! I read someone's post about an autograph QUILT? Can someone help me figure out what direction to start looking in to see what that would be??? Some examples? TIA!

I am sure some people are sick and tired of seeing this one:

Close up of some squares:

It was done last fall, using the signatures I collected during my trip. I digitized them and stitched them out after I got home.

I'm doing an animal print twirly skirt and tank top for my DD. I would like to do maybe an iron on transfer shirt for my DS who is 6. He isn't into Mickey as much as he is into star wars lol. Any "big boy" suggestions for a coordinating shirt for him?

How about a bowling shirt with strips of the animal fabric?

TMTQ!!! As usual, I'm behind in everything.

I managed to shorten the elastic in the skirts in time for the girls' birthday party. Grammy doing the hand applique on the shirts just did not work out. That is not a skill you can acquire in 2 sittings and she picked up this cold/cough that we've all had.

Anyway, here are the girls in their birthday outfits. They have now asked me for a red Minnie dress, a pink Minnie dress, a Belle dress, a Cinderella dress, a pink Cinderella dress, etc, etc. Sure, I'll whip those up tonight.

Those skirts turned out great! The t-shirts worked really well with the skirts. Good job.

[ellenbenny]

Someone please figure out how to make the pillows and post. I would love to make some and I am tired but just not really following the directions tonight! Also, let us know about washing the flannel. It looks like crap after it is washed most of the time! Well, I am used to looking at Dallas' totally washed out Wall-E pants but I know it makes it look not nearly as nice.

Okay, I tried this tonight and here is my best attempt to explain what I did.

Nevermind my flannel is washed, and it has some dirt spots on it, so not really going to send these, just wanted to try it. I may be able to use 3 of the 4 if they say prewashed fabric is ok, but the 1st one I finished has some spots on it.

First, cut 36" of solid flannel by the full width of the fabric

Next cut 12" of novelty cotton by full width of the fabric

Hem with a narrow hem along one long cut edge of the novelty cotton, and along both long cut edges of the flannel:

Then line up the hemmed edge of the cotton with one hemmed edge of the flannel, right sides together

With the hemmed edges aligned and right sides together, sew the cotton to the flannel along the cut edge of the cotton

With the 2 pieces sewn together, lay out the fabric with the novelty cotton on top

Fold the cotton back at the seam so that the wrong side of the cotton is against the right side of the flannel

Measure 15" from the seam

fold the flannel back over the cotton at the 15" mark you just made

Fold the other end of the flannel back at the seam where it meets the cotton

This is where you have right sides together, wrong sides out, and the seamed edges of the flannel should be overlapping at least 2"

Now you cut the package into quarters that are about 10 1/2 " long

Take one of the folded pieces and sew along both edges, then serge or zigzag

Turn right side out.. you should have an overlapped opening in the back, and a pocket on the front

 

[ellenbenny]

The romper and the outfit look great. Is the romper hard to do?

Thanks! The romper is not hard, I just always have trouble putting the snaps in and I always waste a few by the time I am done.

 

[cogero]

a lot of cute things have been posted.

Love the triplet skirts and shirts.

The bubble romper is gorgeous.

I worked on some shirts this afternoon but have to rip one apart because it came unhooped oh well I should be able to salvage the shirt. I think this is maybe the 2nd time this has ever happened to me. It was also a new design I had never done before.

going to bed soon because it has been a long day.

Wow it looks like you had been busy lately Wendy! Those outfits are great. It looks like your Sunday School class is so much fun!

Ellen - thanks for the tutorial on the pillowcase. I guess we will have to wait and find out if prewashed flannel is ok or not. Perhaps I will have to give the romper a try some day!

 

[mphalens]

I am sure some people are sick and tired of seeing this one:

Close up of some squares:

It was done last fall, using the signatures I collected during my trip. I digitized them and stitched them out after I got home.

Oooh! What size squares are those??? So you had the autographs done on paper and then digitized them, right?

My boys LOVE blankets ... so I'm thinking about having them each collect autographs on fabric squares this time and then making them each a quilt for Christmas I just have to figure out the best way to actually GATHER the autographs on fabric since I can't go the embroidery route ... I know fabric markers ... but I just keep thinking about the poor characters big hands trying to sign squares of fabric ... what's the trick here?

 

[chellewashere]

Wow miss a weekend and you miss way way too much. There is just TMTQ but I love everything I have seen. The creative juices have been flowing here.

Did I miss this tutorial? I cant seem to find it...can you point me in the right direction

 

[WyomingMomof6]

Since the family has received these, I can post some things I did recently for a Big Give.

Minnie Mouse dresses plus a diaper cover for baby sister.

Matching tees for Mom and Dad.

I had a lot of fun with these Minnie dresses. Thanks for looking!

Hmm, maybe it's just my computer but when I click on that, I just get a picture of the beautiful skirt that you made.

Thanks! Oddly enough, in your words I think I get it and I didn't even look at the pictures except to see that you used the comic strip fabric!!!! I see you are not nearly the fabric hoarder I am! LOL! I don't even have any of that one to hoard but I know I wouldn't be using it! Did you put it on your blog too? Just a thought, or a link to it atleast!

Thanks! The romper is not hard, I just always have trouble putting the snaps in and I always waste a few by the time I am done.

Velcro is my friend! I know that is kind of cheating but it was super quick and easy!

I have a couple of projects to share now that I know packages have arrived at their Big Give destinations:

A set of outfits for Epcot (for a family from Canada):
A reversible a-line:

And a bowling shirt for the brother:

As usual everything looks terrific

My youngest daughter and I decorated the cake. I know this isn't sewing related but it is the only creative thing I have to show for the weekend.

In addition to lingerie, I also made the couple tshirts for their Disneyworld honeymoon.

Love the cake and shirts. We honeymooned at Disney and we couldn't have gone to a better place. It was DH's first time and since then he can't get enough Disney

And we can never get too many pictures of your beautiful GDs

Here is a link for the Made Circle skirt. She uses a wide elastic. Don't remember if she gives any specific instruction about it tho. http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/tutorial-circle-skirt.html

Thanks for the link

Also, wanted to share that FIL's wife's mother passed yesterday. This is a very hard time for her I know so please remember her. I never met her mother as she has had dementia and in a nursing home since my FIL married his wife, but they both loved her very much and I am sure her family will miss her very much.

Hehehe! I'm originally from Rhode Island (Mom is from MA -Taunton) and we love the Patriots and Red Sox!

Do you miss your coffee milk That is the one thing DH misses when we go out of state.

Anyway, here are the girls in their birthday outfits. They have now asked me for a red Minnie dress, a pink Minnie dress, a Belle dress, a Cinderella dress, a pink Cinderella dress, etc, etc. Sure, I'll whip those up tonight.

Ellen I loved all your trip pictures. I saw a cabin in one of those and it reminded me of Davey Crockett since my two boys are fascinated with him lately. They heard the song and I had to buy the movie and DS5 wants to get a coonskin cap when we go to Disney.

And I made a shirt to match some Agent P pj pants I got for Tim at Walmart...

Those came out great. You gave me an idea since we are going to an Easter egg hunt on Saturday maybe I can do some shirts and I already have the files from Heather.

Since the family has received these, I can post some things I did recently for a Big Give.

Minnie Mouse dresses plus a diaper cover for baby sister.

Love it... of course I love anything with Minnie & Mickey


Aimee all your creations are just beautiful!

I can keep my flannel looking decent -- I just always wash it in cold and no fabric softener. I do have some pjs that fade over time b/c they are washed so often, but they still look very acceptable to wear.

Is the girl who brought Minnie in for show and tell trying to brown nose her teacher? lol!
Great Easter t's but I am love with Agent P! I haven't seen those bottoms. I generally have better luck buying a t and making Easy Fit bottoms, but my ds would adore something like that.
