I finished another Grinch Skirt...decided to try something with ruffles instead of tiers this time.

I want one in my size. That is adorable. Did you use a pattern?

 

[dianemom2]

See, my doctor warned me that I could have that problem, since they had to go deeper than they thought they would. (way deeper!) But other than the first couple of months I never had any problems.

I feel better knowing this....



(did I mention that I have lost two aunts and two cousins to breast cancer?)

Nini

Have you been tested for the BRCA genes?

This was the dress I quickly did for MVMCP, I can't believe I didn't get a better picture !!

DD wore this around the AKL the night we explored the resort !

This outfit was worn twice, once at breakfast at the Crystal Palace and then for our second visit to Hollywood Studios.

Getting ready to head to airport, we had a great time, enjoyed the Food and Wine Festival, MVMCP, lots of fun and sun !!!!R]

All the outfits are great but I especially love the airplane with Mickey ears. That is so cute! Where did that applique come from?

 

[SallyfromDE]

Now that I have written it all down, I am feeling rather silly. I mean, I don't think I am a hypochondriac, but it sure reads that way to me!

Maybe I'll post this anyway, so everyone can have a good laugh at me!

Nini

Nini, get to the Dr. and have this checked out. Please be diligent in your health, especially when it is in regards to cancer. I'd rather have the DR. tell me it's something silly, then to wait to long and find out it should have been taken care of earlier!! Let us know what the DR. says!!!! We all care about you.

Here is our Chef Mickey/Magic Kingdom outfit. Another one of my favorites.
I will continue in the next post !!!

I just love them all, but this one is my favorite!

Wow... I am really sorry everyone... Honest to God - I did not use this pattern to make my bags... but it looks exactly like mine. I guess I won't be drafting my own pattern after all.

D~

I didn't think you had taken someone elses pattern. I sure wouldn't let it stop me from drafting my own style. I thought it looked different around the zipper area. See how the tab at the end of the zipper sticks up? It looks to be a pretty basic sort of Vera Bradley type of bag. But just because they may look the same, doesn't mean they are constructed the same. How many patterns have we all seen of the twirl skirt? Too many to count.

BTW... D. I'd wait for your patter, becuase I know how wonderful your work is, but I was looking for a Xmas gift. And from looking at this pattern, I was thinking to change some things up. But my point is that I would, and I still just might, get the wonderful Serendipity style bag.

All of the appliques that I did for our trip (in the above pictures) came from heathersue.

 

[VBAndrea]

Hi Everyone, I have not posted in ages, but we just returned from a fantastic week at WDW. We had great weather and believe it or not I did let my DH relax, we spent nearly every afternoon at the pool. I had made my DD skirts and T's and then about a week before the trip she asked if I was going to make her any dressesso I quickly made a christmas dress for MVMCP.

This obviously was her Epcot outfit and my personal fave !!

This outfit was made for DD by another Diser Alicia (I forget her Dis Name) but we won a giveaway on her facebook page. Excuse DD's hair it was still wet and looks incredibly messy.

This was our Animal Kingdom outfit, this is heathersue's zebra, supposed to have mickey ear's on it but my needle kept breaking and I got frustrated, therefore, no mickey ears!

Absolutely everything is fabulous! I'm a bit partial to both the Epcot outfit and the one she wore to Chef Mickey. I also ADORE the jewelry!!! Did you make it?

Since it's almost Thanksgiving, I thought it a fine time to share Halloween photos. Here you go .....

http://www.costumersguide.com/pepper/p3.jpg
Not sure if that will work -- but this way you can compare my work to the authentic costumes. I also have detailing on the backs, but didn't photograph those.

 

[VBAndrea]

And since I was taking pics, this is a shirt I did ages ago -- maybe in May or June. It is a fill design and took about three hours to do. I have two or three more large fill trains to do, but time is not on my side!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! What great detailing!

I will probably delete this before I let it actually post...but here goes.

Eleven years ago I had my first cancer scare. After not going to the gyn for over 18 years, I went in for some problems and they found some 'abnormal' cells. After a partial biopsy they decided it was cancerous cells, and I had a complete hysterectomy. Everything was taken out...including my cervix. As it turned out the uterus was only pre-cancerous, but the cervix was cancerous...opposite of what the doctor thought.

Then a couple years later, I had a breast cancer scare. A mammogram found some suspicious areas, three other super mammograms later I had a lumpectomy and biopsy. (it actually wasn't a lumpectomy, because there was no lump.) The doctor told me I would have a quarter inch scar...he uses a different ruler than I do...it is a good two inches. Just prior to the surgery we had already talked about my options. Because of what they suspected I would have a radical double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery. That surgery was already scheduled even before the biopsy.

Test results came back sort of negative, so, other than mammograms every 6 months for three years, no further treatments needed.

A few months ago, I started having 'itchies' in the area where the scar is. Not on the skin, but deep under the skin. Not the type where you could actually scratch. This has been eight years since the surgery, so I am assuming that any itchiness from the surgery would have been long gone.

Today, I decided to do some research...and now I am a bit scared. It seems that this is a symptom of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (which is what they thought I had 8 years ago). But I don't have any of the other symptoms. No change in size (except that after the surgery I was a cup smaller on that size...and still am) no rash...nothing else.

I tend to be a worry wart anyway, and ignore my own health (hence the reason I had not gone to the gyn in 18 years...no need to!).

Now that I have written it all down, I am feeling rather silly. I mean, I don't think I am a hypochondriac, but it sure reads that way to me!

Maybe I'll post this anyway, so everyone can have a good laugh at me!

Nini

Nini, No one is laughing! Please get this checked out. It is so much better to be checked and find nothing than to ignore it and have a problem that gets ignored!

 

[smile5sunshine]

Sorry to hear about your son. Hope he feels better.
The little bib is cute.

Thank you! My son is feeling MUCH better today

These are adorable!!
Hoping to finish some dresses today

Thank you and I can't wait to see your dresses when you are finished.

Here are a couple of things that I worked on this week:

Also, I mentioned these earlier this week so I thought I'd post pictures. These are the tallis and kippah sets that I made my daughters for their bat mitzvah. I still have the tie the fringe onto the corners but I'll do that like a month or so before their bat mitzvah. I made these a while ago but I never posted them on here.

Wow the Bat Mitzvah tallis and kippah sets are so gorgeous! Fabulous job.

Good Morning,
Sally asked if I had posted a pattern for the Ruffle Bottom Grinch Skirt. To answer: No, I didn't post a pattern. Back in the summer I was surfing the net for patterns for toddler skirts. I came across one that had ruffles on the bottom but it was in spring colors. They remember looking through a group of photos and she used a serger to finish off all of her hems. I don't have a serger so I just did a quick look and forgot about it until I wanted to make this one and of course I couldn't find the pattern again.
I just measured from waist to knee...then added 2" for waist and 2" for hem for the base of the skirt. Cut it the length I needed using the whole 44/45 inches of fabric. Then I cut the ruffles - 2 pieces 4" x 45" for each color. Since I couldn't find the skirt online again and I don't remember what they did with the top ruffle so the raw edge wouldn't show I just decided to cover it with the ribbon.
I'm thinking about making another one....if I do I'll have to take pictures of the different steps.
Hope the above helped....
Sheila

Thanks for posting that. It does help, although I'd still LOVE to see a tutorial if you ever make another.

Oh hugs and prayers that it turns out to be nothing but I agree with everyone else, go ahead and get checked out for the peace of mind.

Wow all those outfits are so cute! I LOVE your fabric pairings.

Wow how long did those take you??? They are so well made! I bet your kids were thrilled to have such awesome costumes.

And since I was taking pics, this is a shirt I did ages ago -- maybe in May or June. It is a fill design and took about three hours to do. I have two or three more large fill trains to do, but time is not on my side!

Three HOURS I can see why you haven't gotten around to finishing the others yet!

Looking for help with BOLT.

Has anyone done any Bolt clothes? Would love some ideas/inspiration. Is there any Bolt fabric that I have missed??? My DD would love a Bolt dress!!! Our dogs middle name is even Bolt she loves Bolt so much

Thank you for any help you can provide!!!

Warmly, Erika

 

[mphalens]

I posted on Facebook, so I apologize for those of you seeing this twice!

I am halfway done with my four Epcot Mickey Head shirts! I'm giving up for tonight because I need to re-stablize Finn's shirt and after I finish the tiny bit on his shirt, I still have my shirt & DH's to go around the Mickey Hat part in black - and my back wants a break

But - here's Phalen's all done!

I also finished their Cars Easy Fit Jeans today -
Phalen's (front):

(back):

Finn's (this is when I realized DH had put them on him backwards ):

(front):

(back):

I'm getting there! I have two pieces of Denim Decoupage to do (a skirt and a pair of capris) - but everything is cut and ready.
I have a skirt to add a ruffle to, two pairs of jeans to use some heat n' bond ULTRA on, two pairs of easy fits, a pair of easy fits for me (which I have yet to cut b/c I haven't printed that pattern yet), Tie T-shirts for the boys, 3 plain Mickey Heads to applique to shirts, and 3 "vintage mickey" applique shirts to make. Not bad, right?

Looking great Marianne! Bravo on all the hand appliqueing -- I know what a pain it is and once you do get your embroidery machine you will want to shoot yourself for not get it earlier -- I speak from experience. Though I want to shoot myself right now b/c I woke at 3 something am with a massive

The cars pants looks awesome with the shirts! Very well done indeed -- LOVE these outfits!

Hope your back recovers so you can get back to work!

Sorry I haven't seen any Bolt fabrics. You might look on Etsy or Ebay. Maybe somebody on there has some Bolt fabrics.

I love the Epcot Mickey head. Good job on the hand applique. I can't do that. My machine doesn't stitch it nicely enough! The Cars outfits are adorable. They turned out very well.

Sounds like you have a very busy week ahead of you. You have lots of projects.

 

[DMGeurts]

And I don't have time to multi-quote this morning...

First of all... Thank you everyone for your kind words about my bag... I really felt awful, but I really appreciate that all of you were so understanding. It means more to me than you know.

Nini- Please get to the Dr. and get this checked out. Look at what could have happened to me a couple of weeks ago - all because I was ignoring my symptoms... I could have died because I was too scared to go into the Dr. In the end, it turned out to be something very treatable, and it really relieved my mind a lot. So, please, we all care very much about you - get it checked out.

Andrea... Your Halloween costumes were just amazing - I cannot believe all the details you put into them - they really are fabulous!

Marianne... All of you stuff for your trip is just adorable - and that Epcot ball looks awesome - GREAT JOB!!!

D~ <--- who hopes she didn't miss anyone...

 

[cogero]

so many cute things.

Andrea those costumes are fabulous. and Ilove the train filled.

Marianne I love all your cute things for your trip.

I finished a give yesterday. Now on to more trip sewing and another give.

 

[billwendy]

Hi Everyone!!!

Okay - here is our girl Lindsay - Im posting her now, so you can be thinking over the weekend and during any Black Friday shopping. There are alot of special and fun things to do for her since she is a teen. She LOVES pj pants and tshirts! Loves photography, scrapbooking and baking! She is a preppy girl, and loves the traditional Mickey and Pooh charaters as well as some Lilo and Stitch, Harry Potter and Tink and the Fairies!!!!

Also, if you could please go to their PTR and just say Hi to them and help them get excited about their trip. Mom had kind of let it go since no one was really following it!
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2725867

She looks just like a typical teenage girl - yet she is in so much pain and this disease is just dabilitating her! We have the power to cheer her up!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for helping her, even at this busy time of year!! Even if you dont want to sew, how about sending her some scrapbooking supplies or hair bows or a fleece blanket? Please consider helping Lindsay - and if you have any teens at home, maybe they could help you pick some things out!!!!

 

[tricia]

Nini - Did you take everyone's advice and call the doctor's office? I think that is the safest thing to do.

Wow... I am really sorry everyone... Honest to God - I did not use this pattern to make my bags... but it looks exactly like mine. I guess I won't be drafting my own pattern after all.

D~

I'm with everyone else, I so don't think that you were trying to copy another small business lady. I do think you were both copying and then improving upon the Vera Bradley hipster, but I'm OK with that. Most, if not all patterns out there in cyber world are copies of something somewhere.

No sewing at the machine for me the past few days. Life has been a whirl-wind. Poor DS has been rather sick (first fever and then after that he got a rash....needless to say I won't be going to church in the morning). I was able to work on a bib for my nephew for Thanksgiving. I had purchased it at Target for 50¢. I hand embroidered his name on there and then switched out the cheapy velcro closure for a snap. I think it turned out rather cute.

Close up of the embroidery.....not too bad for free handing it.

The other thing I've started working on (or rather helping DDs 8 & 5 work on) is some felt ornaments they will be giving away as Christmas presents. This is their first time doing any kind of embroidery (or needlework for that matter) and I think they are doing a fantastic job. I am one proud mama!

Very cute bib, and the kids are doing a great job too. My 10 year old son will be making Christmas ornaments for his teachers too, but he loves my embroidery machine and will be making some ITH stuff.

Here are a couple of things that I worked on this week:

Also, I mentioned these earlier this week so I thought I'd post pictures. These are the tallis and kippah sets that I made my daughters for their bat mitzvah. I still have the tie the fringe onto the corners but I'll do that like a month or so before their bat mitzvah. I made these a while ago but I never posted them on here.

Cute Turkeys, and awesome job on the bat mitzvah stuff.

Awesome job, they look great.

I also finished their Cars Easy Fit Jeans today -
Phalen's (front):

Seeing things twice is fine, better than missing something.

super cute stuff. Phalen has a 'I need to hold my breath, these pants are too tight' face going on. Are you sure he's not modelling Finn's?
