Gianna was a mermaid for Halloween 2 years ago. We made this from a commercial pattern, but it was fairly easy to do. The hard part was getting our dog to wear his lobster costume!

Beautiful costume and little mermaid. A dog in a lobster costume would be quite a site.

This is the Jasmine I did for a Big Give. I guess it was ok, I know they recieved it, but the girl got sick again, and mom wasn't able to finish her TR, so I don't know if it got worn.

The top is a modified Simply Sweet and the pants are Easy Fits with leg elastic, I don't think the pic goes down far enough to see that. The sparkly fabric wasn't itchy, it was softer than it looks.

This came out so nice.

Hi Everyone!

Ugh - what a day!! I thought I would get to pick up my new serger and get to work - NOT!!!

So, we get a call around 2:30 from our cousin asking if we can take the 3 kids so she can take her older son to the hospital. He had gone to the ER yesterday with a very swollen hand. Matt is 17, and thought maybe he broke it punching his friend in the elbow. Well, no break. So they gave him a bunch of antibiotics and sent him home telling them to go to the dr's office the next day. So the dr got them in a 2pm, and sent them directly to the ER. This time instead of the local hospital, they took him to my hospital (duPont) and they admitted him and put him on IV antibiotics. He is in isolation because they dont know what kind of infection he has, but they drew lines on his arm (like those snakebite shows) so they can see if the redness and swelling goes down!! Poor guy!!!

Tomorrow Billy is going to watch the 3 kids (that should be good - wish I could be a fly on the wall) hahaha!!! And we will visit Matt and eat dinner together at the IHOP across the street(free pancake day tomorrow). Whew - hopefully the swelling will go down and he will be discharged in a few days!!!

Say a prayer for my guy if you can!!

Oh my, hope that Matt is feeling better soon. Did you setup a nanny cam to watch Billy with the 3 kids? It was very sweet of him to watch them.

Sending Prayers up Wendy!

You guys are so talented, I love watching what you make. I have gotten the "bug" and now have 21 tye dye mickey shirts, and 7 more Simply Sweets to finish up by March 28, and no days off! I am nuts! And then I bought more fabric today but it is cute!

For Animal Kingdom! I am making it into two dresses for two adorable identical twins, 5 years old. What fabric should I put with it? Or should I just make pillow case dresses?

Also got this for Sea World:

What do you think would look cute with this?

I think that zebra fabric would be cute as a pillowcase dress. The SW fabric is really cute too.

Ok, now that I have a park bag, I must book a trip to use said bag, right?

Ok - you've got the hard part done now that your bag is complete.

You guys are gonna get tired of me, since I finally figured out the pic thing.
This is a tink simply sweet that I made for my daughters third bday and for a trip to disney on ice.

This one is for my niece to wear to the show. I made them both shorter than a dress so I still need to finish a pair of ruffled jeans for both of them
thanks for looking

These came out really cute. I love the appliques you put on the skirts. Did you use a pattern to figure out the skirt part or did you just wing it?

Finished the girls Seuss skirts. Pics on FB for now. Going back to bed. Girls just left for school. Love the Tink & Ariel tops!

Did you sew all night? You are a good mommy.

My son goes to a Special Pre-school for kids with Autism and PDD-NOS (which is what DS has) for March. They have March Madness where they do all kinds of little things for the kids.

today is National Pig Day and they were supposed to wear something pink. Well I can tell you DS has nothing pink (DH would freak) so I made J a Hamm shirt last night.

Here are some pictures of him. He was not being very cooperative this morning

and here is a better view of the shirt. Pardon the weird look.

Great idea for pink day. I'm sure your DS is not the only little boy with no pink clothes. The shirt came out great. How do you get your appliques to look so nice? Even when I follow all the rules with stablizier, needles, etc my appliques always seem to be a little wrinkly or bumpy.

I just got off the joann's website and they have all their licensed material 40% off and they have quite a few "new" disney materials including some very pretty tiana and tink ones!

Have fun shopping ladies (and Tom)

 

[Granna4679]

Still trying to catch up.

Didn't catch all of the quotes, but all of the Jasmine and Ariel outfits just posted were so cute. My DGD wants to have a Jasmine party (where do you find plates/cup/etc for that?).

Ericanadjenng - the quilt for the principal is such a fantastic idea. Love it.


abfight - Love your DDs long hair. My DGDs have long hair too and I love to blow dry it straight so it looks like this but wow...it is a chore!

Hey all!!

Thanks for the encouraging words about the Cultrual Rep thing. Sally, what you said about being a mentor really changed my outlook on the whole thing. I booked my hotel last night for my interview on Thursday!

Just so I have something sewing related to contribute, though it's not Disney-related, here's a bag that I'm in the middle of sewing...or I was until I took it apart because I wasn't happy with how I sewed it. Who can spot the bonehead mistake that I wouldn't have made if I hadn't been sewing at 1AM? Ha, just realised that you can see the pre-historic machine I sew on in this pic.

Great duffle...looks like a Vera Bradley, ONLY BETTER!

okay here is my Daughters Dance Costume. She is doing a number to Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl. I made the skirt. Using a tutorial I found online that I modified a tiny bit because I am scared of ruffles. If I use this pattern again I will change one or two things.

I am debating a sash or bow for the waist with the red material. I think it needs something. Going to sleep on it.

Here is a close up of the skirt.

I will take a picture tomorrow when she actually has her tights and shoes on.

This turned out so cute, despite all the problems. Sometimes we just have to put them aside for a day.

Well I have been reading and drooling for months and I suppose I will make a post. EVERYTHING is so gorgeous, you all have such a talent!

I just started learning to sew a few months ago, last October. I've been going to a sewing class at a shop that is owned by ladies that go to my church, and they are so patient and wonderful with me. I've had a sewing machine for years, the most basic thing you could get, and I've had nothing but problems, so I assumed I was a horrible seamstress. I decided to go to one of their classes and I was surprised at how well I did. I made a baked potato sack at my first lesson, and then a little apron at my second, and then two pairs of little girl jammie pants at my 3rd (that was using a serger). Then they started up a quilting class and I've had 3 lessons for that. I'm actually past this point (have the batting and bottom layer on and am starting to quilt it). I have a long way to go to become a better sewer, but I'm having a lot of fun and I'm really enjoying myself.

Oh, and I got a new machine, a Janome. It really makes things easier.

Welcome, congrats on the new machine. And I love the quilt! Sounds like you have caught the "sewing" bug!! Can't wait to see what else you create.

We are going! We're going to make a quick trip to DW in May. And we're going to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge! It's just me and my daughter and my folks going. We're going to hang out at the resort and do a day at EPCOT! I'm going to schedule some character dinners, so I'll get to make a few more outfits! It's going to be so fun! We're going to be there May 14-16.

Jessica

Yay! I am so happy you get to go and can't wait to see her in the Small World dress.

I FOUND YOU!!!!

Planning a DL trip for August. DD will be almost 7. She likes the twirlie skirts like at Children's Place (3 horizontal rectangles...does anyone know the math? I totally remember something like each long rectangle length is doubled from the previous tier.???) I got a Babyloc Lauren Serger from Christmas and havent tried it yet. CANT WAIT to try it out!

I want an easy peasy peasant top pattern, a horizontal twirlie skirt pattern, a more modest halter or sun dress pattern, simple shorts pattern for Norah and my DBF's 4 yr old son. I'll look on YouCanMakeThis.com...Hopefully I'll find some cool EASY stuff.

I just opened another tab... I do believe you may be right!!! Thank you Carla C!!!!!! Now to find Tangled fabric???

I'll probably be here as I struggle through learning to serge. Oh wait, my fabric store gives free lessons since I bought it from them

Be prepared to be wow'd

That being said, can you "sew" with a serger? Or do I need to tune up my trusty Brother machine?

Welcome back! I bought Tangled fabric at JoAnn's. Their licensed fabric is on sale today (online) 40% off. Now would be a good time to buy it.

You guys - should I go for that Serger???? The person will sell it to me for 150 and it comes with 2 extra feet and thread. She used it for 2 hours. She is a college student who was taking a class but dropped out of it......any thoughts before I committ? She sent me a ton of pictures of it, and its super clean inside - so I think she's telling me the truth. She will also give me the original receipt so I can continue on with the 5year warrenty.......thoughts?????????

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/art/2234235215.html

My ol Walmart singer just is giving me nothing but trouble anymore, even after it has been serviced.....It almost always comes unthreaded at the needle, and I've used a bunch of new needles and it cant seem to go through more than 2 layers without having a fit anymore......??????

What would you do!!!???? HELP!!!!

Did you get it? I hope Matt is doing better. Prayers being said!

Hi everyone!

just a quick pop-in...
I wanted to show you Isabel's blanket from our Disneyland trip in December. Grandma made the blanket before we left out of scraps I had. I haven't had time to post any of our pictures on here or even on Facebook, but I do think you should see this special blanket.

This is Isabel. See her hand? She put in directly on the fireplace insert/wood stove last night. Second degree burns, and of course after her trip to ER she HAD to see Auntie for a sleepover

this is the blanket without Isabel on it.

The characters were so good about signing it. I kept it folded and held it taut for them. Princesses loved it, Mary Poppins came to us specifically so that she could sign it, and Bert did the most amazing thing...we were so in awe, I cried. It was such a beautiful moment!

Yes, he took our sharpie marker, took the blanket from me, and DREW Mary Poppins, all the while telling Isabel that he used to draw on the sidewalks of London all the time.

One of these days I'll post more of our trip and Bel's customs. This is all for now.

Poor Isabel! I hope she is healing fast. The quilt is to die for!!! Love that Bert drew the picture...what a keepsake!

Once again I am trying my hand at pics lets see

well all I can see is a red X but if anyone else can see it This is my dd 6 before her first day of kindergarten. I know I'm super late but just seeing if I can this pic thing down.

I can see it!! And it is really cute!

I was messing around with some embroidery designs yesterday, and did this one from Heathersue. I gave the girl blonde hair like Rebecca, and told her it was a design of her, she said it wasn't because I never let her get a baloon! Yep, I'm a mean mommy. This was a trial run, she wasn't impressed, so I guess its a good thing I didn't put it on a tshirt first!

I love that applique. I have done that one several times with all different fabrics. It turns out cute. Yep....no balloons here either. They are such a pain to keep up with.

Sending Prayers up Wendy!

Also got this for Sea World:

What do you think would look cute with this?

I made this with dolphin/whale fabric....might give you an idea for the Seaworld fabric.

thanks for looking

I like the Tink but I love the Ariel...the colors are great.

One quick ? The appliqué I made of Hermione for Juliet. Should I list that on my etsy? It is too detailed for anything smaller than a 6 x 10. So I can only offer it in that size. What do you think?

I would!

 

[abfight]

Thank you to everyone for the compliments. I am not an experienced sewer at all, but you ladies are so great for encouragement and inspiration. for the skirt i just did two skirts the underskirt straight from the simply sweet pattern then the overskirt the same just a little shorter with a shorter ruffle. Then i cut it up the center and used a dinner plate to cut the curve. I also added another strip to the ruffles for that one. Hope this wasn't too scattered.

Now for my question have any of you done the double skirt before and put applique on the underskirt? If so do you do the applique after you attach the skirt or before you ruffle and attach.

Thanks again for all the compliments

Just got back from picking up my new baby!!!! And this one doesn't need diaper changing!!! Its my new Viking Designer Ruby. I am so excited to try it out and thought I would start with a Dr. Seuss Applique but can't seem to find one to purchase?

Any suggestions???? Thanks!

Thanks ladies! I love the two mermaid ideas. I am not sure that I have the time to put into the complete Ariel costume. I love the idea of the tank top with Ariel appliqued onto it and the mermaid tail skirt. I think my little niece would really like that. Teresajoy- Did you just add the tail to a regular skirt pattern?

This is from a couple of years ago. I took a halter tank and cut it short, used the bottom as a pattern for a tan knit fabric. Twirl skirt. I think it's a purchased applique also.

I have things I wished I did different. It's a costume pattern. The front of the pants V, well, Kirsta kept pulling it up. I should have cut it straight. The top was made to go to the V of the pants. But she's tall and I wish I made the top a little like the Ariel so she could tuck it in. The Lamp was a huge hit.

When you Are making a patchwork twirl- do you topstitch your layers?

I do.

I do.

The mermaid costume idea is perfect. I am going to look for a purple tank top tomorrow. I just saw some when I was out shopping yesterday. Now I wish I'd bought it! I think that Joanns still has their All That Glitters fabrics on sale for half off too. I can pick up something green and sparkly for the skirt. Thank you so much for the help!

You rock! Thanks for the quick response.

 

[billwendy]

Prayer said. I know as well as you do he is in the best place. I was in AI for 3 months at the age of 15 for rehab after my open heart surgery. I was in section 2B.

COOL!! What year were you there? That unit still runs strong! They are getting ready to build an addition onto the building and all of the rooms are now going to be private. I really enjoy working there!

Hi Ladies (and Gentleman). Sorry I got behind on the thread--but I got the tees done for a Big Give (Yeah! My first!).

I took a quick glance and the pics I saw look FANTASTIC. Can't wait to see more!

Love those Tie Dye Mickeys!! The colors are GREAT!!

Thanks everyone for your prayers for my Matt!! He was actually discharged this afternoon! Billy went up and saw him this morning and they thought that Matt was possibly going to have to have surgery to drain his hand (ICK) but, by lunch time, the swelling had gone down enough that he was able to finally eat so we ate our lunches together - lol. He was impressed with the touch screen ordering system and was having fun throughout the afternoon - lol. So, he does have cellulitis and some blood tests about the bacteria in his hand are still out. But, they decided that the redness was really going away, so they thought he was on the mend and were comfortable with discharging him around 4pm today. Our hospital is so overcrowded with kids with the flu right now that we need every bed and, they really dont like to keep kids who are healthy in the hospital if they can help it!! So our pancake plan got cancelled.

But, Billy had a GREAT day with the kids - lol. They watched Disney Jr together for Handy Manny and Chugginton and Babar. Then they had a nerf war in our basement which evidently went on for about 2 hours!! Then they had lunch and of course everyone wanted something different, but he made it for them. Then they played with a remote controlled airhog helicopter, then they went to the playground, played hide and seek in our basement and first floor, sent their brother ecards to the hospital, had a snack and took Zoey for a walk!! Im guessing Billy is going to bed early tonight!!!! BUt you know what - he really had a good time. He really hasnt watched the kids on his own for that long before- an hour here or there, but never all 3 for all day!!! He loved it, and felt very loved - My big Teddy bear!

Sorry to be long winded!! Im just so happy that Matt is home!! Thank you for your prayers!!!!

 

[mommy2mrb]

That's wonderful Matt is going home Wendy!!!

Tell Billy he'd better watch out, since he did so good, he might be called up for more babysitting duty ...sounds like they had a great day!

Great news that Matt is doing better and got to go home! Sounds like a fun day otherwise and Billy did great with the babysitting.

My son had cellulitis once, they called me from school saying he had spiked an incredibly high fever (can't remember but I think 105) , and the nurse said to take him straight to the peds office and tell them he needed to be seen immediately with no waiting and not to take no for an answer. The doctor recognized a red area on his cheek right away and circled it in pen, and gave him antibiotics, made us come back the next day to check on him. Said to go to ER if redness grew bigger than the circle on his cheek. Luckily never did go to the hospital, but I can tell you it was scary. He had been fine when he left for school in the morning!

So glad it looks like he is going to be okay!

 

[cogero]

Glad Matt is home.

Miss C had cellulitis in Kindergarten near her eye. I am the mom who doesn't bring my kids for most things to the ped. I took her to my mom who is an RN and she said I should bring her to the dr. He took one look at her and diagnosed it. He then showed me the grossest picture of what it looks like further along. UGH.

I had plans to work on gives tonite but I am tired from the walk I went on with DS so I am going to relax.

Has anyone ever tried to embroider on hats or caps? I found a hoop for my machine, but I am not sure how well it will work...anyone?

Nini

I've never tried one. My hubby is not a big cap wearer so I haven't invested. I'd like to know how well those magna hoops work. Have you tried one of those? I recently saw some cap hoops on ebay for a very reasonable price but I'd rather have an extra regular hoop.

DH wants me to try this too. Let me know how it goes if you try it out.

 

[NiniMorris]

I've found two different types of cap/hat hoops for my Brother 770...one is $25...the other is $175. I guessing the cheaper one isn't going to work very well!
