Thanks for looking! Now back to the thread for me!

WOW those came out amazing.

I finished my decoupage princess jeans!!! WooHoo! One item done, many many more to go!

Great job!

Coming out of lurkdom again...

So, it looks like the stars may be aligning, and I could possibly get my first embroidery machine. I know it's been discussed over and over and over on this thread (and even recently), but I would love recommendations since my parameters are a little different. There's about $1000 to play with here, but, of course, I'd like to spend the least amount possible. The leftover will go in the WDW fund. I'm sure I'll want the biggest hoop possible, but I also want to be able to pop in here with the (unavoidable) questions I'm sure I'll have. I was looking at the PE770 on Overstock after reading here and chatting with the oh-so-helpful Wendy a little bit last year, but I wanted some more thoughts, as I'm always second-guessing myself.

Aaaand, should I wait 'til after Thanksgiving? Ever see any deals? I definitely want to go the corporate route. I'm too paranoid to spend this much on eBay or Craigslist.

I love my PE770 too and find the Brother machines to be very user friendly.

These are just the Beatles outfits I made for the Fab Faux concert (still need to get some better pics of Halloween costumes). ETA I swear I resized the pics in Photobucket so I have no clue why they remain huge!

DS had a bowling shirt (which I upsized successful to a 9/10) and I let him wear the yellow long sleeve t under it. He choose to button up the bowling shirt though so you couldn't see the embroidery on the shirt, but he's worn it alone since:

Andrea great job on the Beatles stuff.

Okay here is the finished crayon roll

Great job.

Great job
Hmmm maybe I will make one for the kids for Christmas.....
DD loves to draw/color.
Has anyone made the kind w/the slot to put a pad of paper?
They seem a bit more complicated.

Need to finish up this Rapunzel dress...and now I have more orders.
I don't want to do them...I want to make something else!!! .

Totally dumb question here...how do I edit my signature to show a pre trip report?

I know it can be done, but when I try it is not showing up right... If you have a suggestion I would be forever grateful...

I know that Andrea did a colored pencil roll up and matching tote a little while ago. She put a pad of paper and other art supplies into the tote. It was really cute!

Chiara,
I love it! I'll have to try and make some of them now. I'll just need to find the measurements that I need for the different pieces.

Really liked the color coordinated ones for the classroom, too.

This is the tutorial I used. It really was very straight forward.

Hi everyone! WOW! Things look so beautiful!!! Life really hit us over these past few mons, so I've been MIA for a long time. We had a great time on our trip in October. I was so proud to have the kids walking around in my first ever customs! I made their costumes for MnSSHP, and they were a huge hit.

I'm getting ready to start making items for our trip in December. We will be celebrating dd's 5th birthday while we are there, going to 1900 for breakfast, then MVMCP that night. Any ideas on customs for her and her brothers (6 & 1) for our time down there? I think I want to make us shirts/SS/long sleeve shirts, but not sure what I want to put on them. I do simple hand appliqué, since I don't have an embroidery machine.

Hi Chiara, I don't see a link for tutorial.... Sheila

Sheila I am so sorry about that

Awesome!!! Thanks, Chiara. This one is much easier than the one I saw a few months ago. I think I'll be making some of these for Christmas gifts

I think Andrea made something like that last year.

When we ate 1900 PF I used Heather's Mad Hatter Mickey Head on the shirts and it got me complimentary PhotoPass pics that they take before you enter

Hey all!

I'm in need of some advice on how to fix/patch/mend a blanket that I have. It's very precious to me and some parts of it are getting worn and I want to fix it before it's too far gone but I don't really know where to start. It's made up mostly of old pajamas and stuff like that and one of the fabrics is getting very thin and the seams are coming apart. I almost want to take it apart so I can iron on some interfacing or something on the back but I'm worried I won't be able to get it back together properly. Could I send someone pictures to get advice/ideas?

 

[RMAMom]

Has anyone seen any patterns or tutorials for Advent or Christmas calendar countdowns. I would have sworn that I saw one with little Christmas stocking or elf shoes on a ribbon but I cant find it now and don't seem to be finding anything that is sewn. Maybe I'm not searching with the right words or phrases.

Alright ladies! I need some inspiration! My girls want wear star wars themed outfits for our day at the Studios. There isn't much tagged with star wars in the photobucket, so please post your creations you've done in the past!! Can't wait to them!!

I don't have any to show, but I have a few ideas. Do they want dresses or shorts/pants?
