[billwendy]

I'm going to be at the Minneapolis airport July 23 & July 31 when i'm coming and going from Montana (to see the Disney-hating ILs )

Or wait, did you mean when I get to Michigan?




The Mickey Gator would be right up my DH's alley too We're big Gator fans (and the boys actually had Gator print Mickey head shirts on our last trip)

Dont forget - tomorrow is the SHIP DATE for BRIDGETS BIG GIVE!!!! Please post your gifts on the big give site, and we will pm you the address!!!! Thanks everyone!!
I'll be in Bigfork, MT in 10 days!! We are flying through chicago this year, but have gone through Mineapolis many times!!

 

[mphalens]

LOVE, love, love Glen Arbor! Have you been before? If not, then do not miss Cherry Republic. (If so, you aready know that. )

Regards,
C.

I've never been to Michigan ... we're (wait for it! ) DRIVING from Rhode Island -through Canada (so I had to get passports for the boys)- to spend the WEEKEND in Glen Arbor, MI for my Great-Aunt & Uncle's 90th birthday party ... I love them dearly, and it will be wonderful to see their children, grandchildren & great-grandchildren ... but man! it's a long way to go for a weekend in the car!!! It's also great fun to tell people where we're going when they ask why we got the boys their passports ... "So, are you finally going to Ireland?" "Nope, Michigan." I say it total deadpan too ... and they ALWAYS say, "You know Michigan is in the US, right?" The best way to get to Glen Arbor from RI is to go up through Canada (so I'll finally get to see Niagra Falls too! ) ... I've been to lots of places OUTSIDE the US, but I've never been to Michigan OR Niagra Falls

So! Long-winded way of telling you - Tell me ALL the places to go in Glen Arbor and the surrounding area!!! I'll have two crazy boys with me Pretty please?

I'll be in Bigfork, MT in 10 days!! We are flying through chicago this year, but have gone through Mineapolis many times!!

Whatcha doing in Bigfork??? I have to admit, Montana is beautiful ... I just wish I could go there WITHOUT dealing with my in-laws!

Okay ... as promised, here's what I've sewn in the past few days ...

Disney Decoupaged Jeans:

Star Wars Jeans (which are cut-offs that I attached the sw fabric to the bottoms of):

Pillowcase dress (on which I learned french seams, ric-rac and bias tape):

Flat front "pirate pants" with pockets (made using a free tutorial that is almost as easy as the EasyFits!):

(Finn totally picked out both of the fabrics for these... cotton pants with flannel pirate pockets )

Cute stuff! Love the pirate pants. I'll have to check out that tut. Thanks for sharing!

I've been a lurked lately, sewing like crazy for our cruise. I'll post pics of the clothes later, but wanted to share my Fish Extender. The FE (as it's referred to on the DIS cruise forum) is to collect presents from other DISers on your DCL cruise, sort of a secret Santa thing. The ship has a fish outside of each cabin that CM's use to leave messages for the guests in each cabin...the FE is a series of pockets that allow for gifts to be left in, "extending" the fish. If this is confusing, hop on over to the cruise forum, I was clueless!

I made a pocket for each of us, with our fav character on it. Jay didn't really want to play along, but liked the Mickey Gator I created for him. He's a big UF Gator fan, but I wanted it to stay with the theme, so I had to get creative, lol.

that turned out so nice! Have a blast!! Love DCL.

Love everything especially those pockets. That is the one complaint my boys keep telling me they have no pockets with the easy fit shorts.

Thanks! I found the tutorial at http://dana-made-it.com She has all kinds of stuff, but these are her kid pants with a flat front /kid pants with pockets,. She also has kid pants with elastic waist, kid pants with a lining, and kid shorts

If you like to have all of your instructions in front of you, be sure to print out the basic "kid pants" in addition to the flat front & pocket versions, because all of the tutorials are based on the basic "kid pant" ... even the pattern is just modified for the others ... I use my iPad, so I just had to flip between the three tutorials ... but if I needed a hard copy, I'd have to print them all

These are the smaller of the two pocket sizes she gives a pattern piece for ... Because I was using a totally different fabric I didn't want to make them TOO big ... Now that I've made these I'm picturing a pair of red cotton ones with some sort of nautical pockets and some big time contrasting stitching

Thanks for the link. I have bookmarked it for future reference.

Hey! RI & Southern MA (and anyone else for that matter!) Disboutiquers!!!

I'm only in town until July 5th ... we're heading out of town next weekend (to Glen Arbor, MI) but I was thinking ...

Does anyone want to get together and meet IRL??? There's got to be someplace somewhat central for all of us ... Maybe this get together could center around a fabric store, or not, I just thought it'd be cool to get to meet some peeps while I'm here

I was thinking early next week? Monday or Tuesday? I'd say this weekend, but we have family in town ...

So, anyone up for a Meet & Greet? Coffee? Lunch? Whatever!

Unfortunately I work Mondays and Tuesday I have plans Our boys would be perfect for each other too. They could all bring their lightsabers

Great job on yours. I saw that YCMT actually has a pattern for one now.

Who are all the Disney Digitizers?

I know about HeatherSue, lotsofappliques, applicakes, Bows and Clothes, and now, Divas Doodles.

Are there others that have a good number of designs (not just 1 or 2)?

Regards,
C.

There is also Digital by Design on FB, Sweetpeasplace and PlanetApplique

 

[belle41379]

LOVE this!!!! That Nemo fabric is TDF! Was it a recent purchase???

Thanks. No, it's left over from making our first child's baby bedding. I made DD a dress out of it and our SIL saw it and wanted one for the baby.

I can do Wednesday (I was just throwing out day ideas!!!) ... it'd just have to be later in the afternoon b/c I'm having lunch with a friend here in Jamestown at 12:30 ...

I figured

I'm hoping Disney releases some new Cars2 fabric soon ... and Lion King (since it's coming back to theaters later this summer, right?) ...

I usually do a search on etsy for DISNEY EMBROIDERY - it seems that they keep cropping up!

Little dress I whipped up for one of our baby nieces. Simple and quick. Gave me a chance to work on my French seams.

Very cute dress!

I've been reading about you going to camp ... why I didn't make the connection that camp was taking place in MT, well, let's chalk it up to it being late

Did you come up with a turkey costume???

 

[JMD1979]

OK - I have something else to share. Sorry... But this time - it isn't mine - it's 12 y/o dd's. She made her Kanani 2 dresses over the last 2 weeks, and I need to share them because she did such a great job. I helped with pattern placement and I read the instructions out loud - otherwise - she did it all herself!

We just love the dolphins on this dress... and we couldn't have placed the bodic more perfectly, than to get one dolphin up the strap.


I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

D~

OMGosh! Your DD is amazing! She did an awesome job! I can't wait until my girls are old enough to sew. I may let my oldest (7) attempt something this summer. Love Kanani too! That is who my DD wants to get in Chicago when we go.

OK - I just had to squeal with excitement - I figured you all might be able to understand.

So - 5 years ago, when we were packing up our house for the move across the state, a bin of special items was donated to the Goodwill - only I didn't discover it until months later. In that bin was a quilt that my aunt made for me - which was my favorite. Several of Allison's baby blankets - one quilt was very special, as my cousin had made it for her when she was born. I knew I could never tell my aunt or my cousin about the items that were donated on accident - and I certainly couldn't replace them. I was just sick, mostly about Allison's baby blanket, because mine has been missing since I was a child.

Well, since I've started to sew - I've been occasionally searching Etsy for the fabric for Allison's baby blanket - I've seen the backing many times, but not the panel. Well, I did a search tonight, and not even the backing was on Etsy. Which led me to Evilbay... I opened in several tabs possiblities of which one the quilt could be - then I started going through Allison's baby pictures... AND I FOUND IT - it was actually sold bound to the backing... I did a BIN on it and I am so EXCITED!!!!!! It should be here this week. All I have to do is add the yellow silky edging and wash it a few times.

And for the record - Allison is 13 and she does not care one whit about her baby blanket. I know when I tell her that I've found it - she will truly think I've flipped my lid.

D~

What an awesome sentimental find! I am sure if your DD could care less at the moment she will be forever thankful when she is grown!

I really hate when my machine eats shirts near the end. Especially for a give off to the store for a new one.

Oh no! I hate when that happens too! Why is it always at the end when you think your home free?

Okay ladies. This will be my first trip making outfits for the kids. We are going in mid October. Here are my thoughts. What do you think?

searsucker brown plaid fabric for AK - 3 tier skirt for DD w/Minnie head safari applique shirt, roll up (hopefully) pants/shorts for DS w/Mickey head applique or Yetti, romper for DS.

white/blue/green plaid shirting fabric for HS - shorts/roll up pants for DS w/Buzz or Toy Story appliue t-shirt, romper for DS (or tiny shorts w/onesie), probably Minnie tutu w/Minnie cupcake applique shirt for DD.

Epcot - patchwork 3 tier skirt for DD w/Marie applique shirt, nemo outfit for DS (romper or shorts/onesie), Test Track applique shirt and denim enhanced shorts for DS.

That's all I've got so far. I need EASY stuff, so keep that in mind. What do you think?

I think it all sounds fabulous! I can't wait to see your finished products!

Little dress I whipped up for one of our baby nieces. Simple and quick. Gave me a chance to work on my French seams.

This is adorable! I love this fabric!

Okay ... as promised, here's what I've sewn in the past few days ...



Star Wars Jeans (which are cut-offs that I attached the sw fabric to the bottoms of):

Everything is perfect, but I have to say I just love the Star Wars Jeans, and that Yoda shirt! TDF!!

I have no clue on the fish extender, but I just wanted to say I love this! It would make a really cute over the door room organizer!


I managed to get the AG tanks finished for my girls, but have yet to start on the skirts. I wend to Joann's yesterday to get some fabric. It was kinda hard matching but with the help of my oldest DD I think we did pretty good. Here is a pic of the fabric with an AG clothing box. In case you were wondering.... yes we took the box to Joanns with us!

[cogero]

okay I love the Fish Extender. I want to make one since we are planning a second cruise for next year out of NY besides the one we have in August.

Just finished the shirts and am off to post on the give site.

I desperately need to start on my outfits for August. Think I am going to try to get at least 2 done by Monday.

Thanks! The Yoda shirt is from Walmart! It's part of their "patriotic line" for 4th of July!

I think the fabrics you chose for the AG skirts looks great! And I SO would have taken the box with me too

[mickeymaker2003]

Does anyone have any of the Mickey Nascar fabric that was out a several years ago? I made a stroller pad for my daughter's stroller out of it a few years ago and now I want to make matching cup holders, but I used every scrap of it I had. I have checked ebay and can't find it

It is the fabric with a black and grey background and blue race cars that have Mickey on them.

I'd be very grateful to anyone who has any they are wiling to part with. Please PM if you have any. Even a little bit would help and be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

 

[mkwj]

Does anyone on here live in Nashville? I am visiting relatives and looking for fabric stores that carry Disney. Joanns had next to nothing.

I do! Our Joann's has a few Disney things but not much. I have not been to Hobby Lobby lately, but they have in the past. I actually find the most Disney fabrics at the WalMart on Gallatin Road in Madison. It is an older regular Wally World that still has a fabric section. I don't know of any specialty fabric shops (but I have never gone looking for them). What part of Nashville will you be in? I am right arounf the corner from Opryland Hotel in the Donelson area.

I am actually here right now. I am in Franklin, so a little far from the Opry area. I did go to an awesome store that had some of the most beautiful fabrics I have ever seen. They did have a few Dr. Suess, but no disney. It was textile fabrics

Your route will be taking you right by me. I live about 20 miles north of the NYS thruway, Northwest of Rochester and about 2 miles south of Lake Ontario.

I have taken that route through Canada more times than I can count. Grew up in Rochester but my mother's family was in Michigan so we drove through countless times back then. Then my first husband was from Michigan, so we drove through some more, and now my youngest DS is living in Michigan and has been there for the past 5 years, so we make the trip once or twice a year still.

Never been to Glen Arbor though, had to look it up, and that is quite a ways up there and a long way for you to be going for a weekend!!

Also in states that border Canada (at least in New York and Michigan for sure) you can get an Enhanced driver's license to travel through Canada so we don't need to get a passport if we wouldn't be needing it otherwise. Just an interesting little fact some people may not know about, lol!
