[dianemom2]

I have had a bunch of projects that I have been working on. I finally finished a bunch of them today. Now I need to dive into a few more projects. Here are a few pictures:

 

[aimeeg]

That is funny!!

They look absolutely gorgeous!! I love their smiles!

Wasn't Hannah 3 when you started posting here? She's really turned into such a young lady!

Yes! She turns 7 next Wednesday.

It's amazing to think I have been sewing for four years. It does not seem that long. It's funny to think back to when I started and ruined an iron thinking you could iron tulle.

Wow, these are just GORGEOUS!!!! (and cute for the boy ones!) I especially adore the Hello Kitty with the white skirt!!! Just beautiful!

Have you signed up for the Big Give site yet?? The families would love things like this. (sorry if you have, I can't keep track of everyone!)

We have a new "Special Give" up!

This isn't our typical Big Give. Little 7 year old Caden has leukemia and is losing his battle. He has been sent home to enjoy the time he has left. (they think 2-4 weeks).

What we would like to do is shower him with cards! He LOVES Sponge Bob! He also has a younger brother and sister, who I'm sure would love to receive cards as well.

These would of course, not be get well cards, but just happy, funny cards to put a smile on his face!

So, please head on over to the Big Give board and let's see how many cards we can get to this sweet little fighter!!

​

went to check out Caden's story....my heart is breaking for them...
will have Megan design one of her "original" cards today when she gets home !
sent Jenn a PM for the address!

 

[teresajoy]

Yes! She turns 7 next Wednesday.

You've come a long way!

That's right, I remember now that she is almost exactly a year younger than Tessa. Where does the time go???

 

[cogero]

Hi all!

Forgive me, there is TMTQ (I'm almost 30 pages behind!) but I LOVE the creations that have been posted...the dessert shirts, the Cinderella AG outfit, etc...TDF! Congrats to Granna - sewing baby clothes is SO much fun!

We've been back from WDW 2 weeks and I'm just now starting to come out of my post-trip funk. I'm trying to convince DH that we need to go for MNSSHP but he's not buyin' what I'm sellin'.

Anyway - as promised, here are some pics of the custom outfits in action:
Day 1: at the airport

Day 2: Chef Mickey's and Magic Kingdom
Mini Minnie

Mr. Attitude

and DDs 1st haircut at Harmony Barber Shop:

Day 3: Epcot
The golf ball and the goof ball

Silly girl wearing DS's sunglasses

Bonus: the Beverly face!

Day 4: AK
Zebra baby

100 Mickeys shirt

Lastly, before I left, I posted a question about hats/headwraps for my BFF who was starting chemo. Thank you for all the hugs, prayers, etc. I loved the suggestions that were posted and I bookmarked them. However, I really liked the idea of making a bucket hat so I turned to my go-to pattern website, YCMT! I modified the reversible patchwork bucket hat to fit an adult and here's what I came up with:

Her DH is an avid hunter and I thought this would be cute. It's her corduroy CHEMOflage hat!

I also made two matching smaller hats for her DD6. They kind of look like fedoras in these pics...but they are actually bucket hats!


OT - is it just me or is Photobucket acting completely wonky the past few days? This post has taken me close to 24 hours to complete because I can't access all of my uploaded pics!

These are all so great. I love the mickey shirt with the Tie too cute

So, I have made a couple of things I wanted to share. I had to test out a couple of new patterns to get ready for our Disney Cruise next year!

I started with the Ruffle bag. I made the medium size to test out the pattern and the size. Love the size, but I will definetly be making the large for my cruise. And of course in "disney" fashion. The pattern was also very easy!

I also made the reversible romper...also very easy! Love this! Cannot wait to make more. Just wish this pattern went larger. I plan to let my son wear this one for his birthday, so I will post pics of him actually wearing it later.

Now, I have several baby showers to make outfits for. I also have birthday outfits, Easter, and to start preparing for our cruise!!

That bag is so awesome. Totally lvoe it

This is the new pattern that is coming out from Sis Boom and CarlaC. I can't even TELL you how much I love this!!! It looks difficult (to me anyway) but it goes together SO smoothly and quickly. Do NOT fear the zipper!

This is Lydia in the Marissa (not the best pictures of Lydia, she's making a really weird face, but a good shot of the dress):

and just because I think Lyddie is a nut and she cracks me up every single day:

and, this is me in the adult version, the Jamie:

Yes, it was freezing out.
Is anyone looking for a house in Michigan? Our neighbors are selling.
Come move to Michigan where even our evergreens turn brown in the winter! If you love tan, beige and brown, THIS is the place to be!

I think that should be the new state motto. I might mention it to our new governor.

I am in love with both of those dresses. Absolutely fabulous.

Have you signed up for the Big Give site yet?? The families would love things like this. (sorry if you have, I can't keep track of everyone!)

Yes, I have signed up for the big give site. In fact I have a couple of things that are ready to send and I am waiting to get the address. I want to sign up for the next one but I need to look through what projects I have already committed to for home. My daughters are really bugging me about sewing some stuff with them for their AG dolls

 

[sheridee32]

I am so proud of my future son-in-law did any of yall see on yahoo or the news were the braves minor league coach was hit the face at the ball game yesterday at disney sports my son in law was one of the parimedics in the picture he took care of him if it wasnt for people doing that we would be in trouble, you could actually see him in the picture on yahoo. My paryers and thoughts go to the coach and his family for a full recovery he has some broken bones in his face.

 

[1308Miles]

I'm so sorry Liam got an ear infection, but so glad you got a dinner at Park Fare on short notice. I love seeing all the customs in action. I just adore that Minnie Portrait Peasant!

The adult size bucket hats are great and I think it's so cool that you made her dd matching ones!

Thanks! I actually made a patchwork Minnie-type hat as well but it looked too babyish and my DD LOVED it...so it went to her.

I LOVE the Minnie outfit and those absolutely adorable socks!!!! I'm a sucker for cute ruffley socks! I'm so sorry your son was sick! Thank goodness it got better quickly! That hats you made are wonderful!

Do you sell on Etsy? One of our newest Give Mom's posted some pictures of outfits that lok a lot like yours.

Thanks! I'm a sucker for ruffled socks too...these are SO easy to make and now I find myself making a pair for EVERY outfit.

No, I don't sell on etsy (although I have been told many times at WDW that I should!) Someone has CASED my stuff? Should I be flattered?

This is Lydia in the Marissa (not the best pictures of Lydia, she's making a really weird face, but a good shot of the dress):

So cute! Your daughter is adorable...love her hair! Let me tell you - after this past winter, 40 seems like summer! We can finally see the ground after having 4' of snow on it for the last 3 months! Spring is in sight!

Hey Ladies! It's been forever and a day since I posted. It's a rainy afternoon and I am procrastinating. What better to help me with my procrastination than the DIS.

Here are a few from last Christmas at Disney-

Oh my. That Minnie dress is TDF! Your daughters are absolutely beautiful. Side note: I love the color of your mint green walls!

We have a new "Special Give" up!

This isn't our typical Big Give. Little 7 year old Caden has leukemia and is losing his battle. He has been sent home to enjoy the time he has left. (they think 2-4 weeks).

I just signed up for the new Big Give board. Just waiting for admin approval...after the 19th (DS5's birthday party) I'll be good to go and looking for new Big Give projects to tackle!

I have had a bunch of projects that I have been working on. I finally finished a bunch of them today. Now I need to dive into a few more projects. Here are a few pictures:

LOVE these! You have no idea how much I LOVE Hello Kitty.

 

[weluvdizne]

A drawstring might be the solution if the little girl's weight fluctuates.

Lori in East Podunk

What a good idea. I'm working on clothes for my kids for our fall trip. My crystal ball that tells me what size they will all be 6 months from now is fuzzy, but doing a drawstring will solve a lot of problems with elastic waistbands. Ya know, sometimes the obvious isn't so obvious. Thanks!

Anyway - as promised, here are some pics of the custom outfits in action:

Welcome back! Love the pix of your awesome outfits in actions. Cute little ones, too! Sorry about your ds getting sick. Good to know the in-room md is a good option if needed. Looks like they had a lot of fun! Did you have ressies for the haircut? Plan to take my little guy this fall. I'm excited about it, my dh thinks I'm nuts!
How sweet of you to make those great hats for your friend and her daughter. I'm sure they appreciate them.

Now, I have several baby showers to make outfits for. I also have birthday outfits, Easter, and to start preparing for our cruise!!

Love the bag. It looks so great, no matter what fabric combination is used on it. The romper looks cute, too.

.

You both look great. Nice job on the dresses. The fabric is very pretty. Ya know, I would love to move, but to Florida, not Michigan, sorry. Hope you get nice neighbors, though. How did your daughter's friend enjoy her trip to WDW?

Very pretty dresses and skirts. Dis is my fave way to procrastinate. I have dishes and laundry waiting for me right now!

The kids and I will make some cards this afternoon. Going to the big give site for the address.

These are all awesome, but my favorite is the white one. How stinking cute! Nice job on all of them.

I am so proud of my future son-in-law did any of yall see on yahoo or the news were the braves minor league coach was hit the face at the ball game yesterday at disney sports my son in law was one of the parimedics in the picture he took care of him if it wasnt for people doing that we would be in trouble, you could actually see him in the picture on yahoo.

Wow. How scary. Will pray for the coach. Thanks to your future sil. Paramedics don't get enough praise. Tell him thanks for what he does!

I just love that pattern -- I will be buying it! I know I did zippers as a child and I honestly don't remember them being difficult. Then again, maybe my mom did most of the work on the zippers. I do remember sneaking my home ec sewing project home so my could do some of it

I also laughed b/c you commented on Lydia's quirky smile and when I saw the pic I thought just the opposite. I think her smile is beautiful. You look very lovely yourself

Hey Ladies! It's been forever and a day since I posted. It's a rainy afternoon and I am procrastinating. What better to help me with my procrastination than the DIS.

Love everything, especially the Vida. I wanted to make a Vida for a BG but the sizing wasn't right. I guess that means dd might get one!

I posted for the addy on the Big Give site, but are any special treats allowed? Suckers, candy....anything like that?

I have had a bunch of projects that I have been working on. I finally finished a bunch of them today. Now I need to dive into a few more projects. Here are a few pictures:

WOW!!!! Love the white Hello Kitty -- can't let my dd see that one!

The outfits you made for the Give are adorable! It looks like Heather just sent you the address.

I love AG stuff! I don't like to make it, but I like to see it!

 

[teresajoy]

1. Thanks! I'm a sucker for ruffled socks too...these are SO easy to make and now I find myself making a pair for EVERY outfit.

2. No, I don't sell on etsy (although I have been told many times at WDW that I should!) Someone has CASED my stuff? Should I be flattered?

1. Do you have a tutorial for making them?
2. Uh Oh!
3. Thank you! I happen to think she's pretty adorable myself! Which, means she gets away with a LOT! It's really nice just to see ground, isn't it! Even if it is varying shades of brown! Come on SPRING!!!!!
4. I just approved you, you should be set to go!

You both look great. Nice job on the dresses. The fabric is very pretty. Ya know, I would love to move, but to Florida, not Michigan, sorry. Hope you get nice neighbors, though. How did your daughter's friend enjoy her trip to WDW?

Thank you! I wouldn't mind moving to Florida myself, if I could get the rest of my family to come with me! I hope we get good neighbors too. With the housing market the way it is around here right now though, it could be awhile. I think this house has been for sale for close to a year now.
Shelby had a WONDERFUL time at Disney!!! Thanks so much for asking! Her Mom had a great time too! I think we've got em!!! Her Mom actually called me from the Grand Floridian to tell me how much everyone loved Shelby's dress, and that was before they even went in to eat. She was talking about what they would do on their next trip even! She (the Mom) said she sees now why we like to go so much!

Were there any Disboutiquers at 1900 Park Fare with a little girl in a Drizella custom when Shelby was there? That was February 18. Shelby told me that another little girl came in in a custom while they were eating.

I just love that pattern -- I will be buying it! I know I did zippers as a child and I honestly don't remember them being difficult. Then again, maybe my mom did most of the work on the zippers. I do remember sneaking my home ec sewing project home so my could do some of it

I posted for the addy on the Big Give site, but are any special treats allowed? Suckers, candy....anything like that?

I never had a problem with zippers until my Mom told me that they were hard! Then, I got paranoid!

That is funny about Lyddie's smile! I guess it looks funny to me because it's not her usual smile! And, thank you!

I think treats would be fine. If you post on the Give board, maybe Jenn could let us know.

 

[aimeeg]

Love everything, especially the Vida. I wanted to make a Vida for a BG but the sizing wasn't right. I guess that means dd might get one!

Thanks! Vida's are great to make. I love how you can use lots of cute fabric without having to use a ton of yardage.

Forgot how to thumbnail.....

Is that little teeny Lydia????? She is all grown up!

YOU, miss Thang, look FABULOUS!!!!!! I love that pattern for adult women! It makes the chestal area look spectacular!

I only log on every 3-5 pages...and have to stop myself from multi quoting EVERY SINGLE thing...I just am in awe at the talented and creative ladies (and Tom). Love you guys!

-The Lurker

 

[1308Miles]

1. Do you have a tutorial for making them?

Sure - my own! I used ribbon that is 1.5" in width (but also used 7/8" ribbon...smaller widths tend to flip upward after they are sewn.) Measure the width of the sock and quadruple it to determine the length of ribbon to use (for example, DDs socks measured 4", so I used 16" of ribbon.)Find the back of the sock (where the ankle goes) and place a pin there. Turn the sock inside out and slip it on the free arm of your sewing machine. It should be stretched to about double the width. Be sure that it is stretched enough or else it will be too tight to wear! Align the edges of the ribbon and the sock. Pin the ribbon to the sock (begin where you placed the pin at the ankle) wrong side up leaving a 1" length of ribbon hanging. Zigzag stitch the ribbon to the sock. Once you have zigzagged around the sock, you should have about 1" on either end hanging freely at the pin you placed at the ankle. Place those right-sides together and straight stitch those. Cut the excess and heat seal the edges.

Clear as mud, eh? Let me know if you have any other questions!

I swear, it really is easy.

[GlassSlippers]

Thanks! Vida's are great to make. I love how you can use lots of cute fabric without having to use a ton of yardage.

I was just about to start a Vida myself. Would butt ruffles look right on one of these, do you suppose? I finally figured my ruffler out and I'm itching to use it!

Awesome dresses Teresa. I wish we had brown here. We are still white, white, and oh yeah, there is more white falling from the sky right now.

Beautiful stuff. I love the Vida too.

I have had a bunch of projects that I have been working on. I finally finished a bunch of them today. Now I need to dive into a few more projects. Here are a few pictures:

Well, that sure is a lot of stuff. It all looks great, but I really, really like the curious George stuff the best. did you buy those embroidery files somewhere? Can you share from who?

yes, in fact many on here have done that already. Check the photobucket account There are a few there under the tag vida.
