[billwendy]

Hi - I love seeing the kids in their jammie's pictures!!!!

We are doing great with Keira's give!!!!! Keira has expressed that she would love a dress or skirt with many princesses on it...if anyone feels they'd be up for that for this cutie pie, just let me know or comeon over and sign up....there's still a need for the wish family shirts, tie dye shirts and maybe a pair of decorated jeans for the kids???

Living in DC we have every kind of restaurant under the sun. We have a couple of great Korean restaurants. They tend to be more on the Virginia side of town. Last night we tried a new place with Burmese cuisine. We had two of the best salads I've ever eaten! We love trying new foods. Next on our list is to try a place with Mexican torta sandwiches. Last year we got hooked on Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches. YUM!!!!!

I missed grabbing the adorable Belle skirt and the beautiful Rapunzel dresses that were posted. Excellent job on those!

Here is what I made last week for my little nephews:

Here is a closer picture so that you can see the Mickey fabric better:

This was the Simplicity pattern that I used. The shirts turned out ok but I wasn't really crazy about the pattern. Now that the printer is fixed, I can go back to CarlaC's bowling shirt pattern. I also think that the pattern ran a little small. I cut it out using the size 8 but when I compared it to a boy's t-shirt it looks more like a size 6/7. I am not sure that a size 6/7 will work for one of my nephews.

I love the shirts! I haven't tried Carla's bowling shirt yet. I really want to...I have tried a few of the big pattern name shirts...they always turn out ok.
I guess I need to pick her pattern up! I finally got ink for my printer today! So I'm back in business!!!

I miss living in the DC area! I grew up that way....my grandpa live in Fairfax. Haven't been back in awhile! Hopefully soon!

I went to Joanns today and got some goodies but no Star Wars Fabric it was all flannel.

I posted some pictures of my sewing space on my PTR. I am really liking how I have it but I am sure I will be tweaking it.

I might stay up tonight and sew.

[tinkbell13]

Very nice. The HK material is very cute.

The Lightning McQueen fabric looks like the fabric I am making into my DSs park bag! Very nice shirts, too.

Love the dresses! Great job on them.

Love it! I love her princess dress!
I soooo want to go on a cruise. I keep telling DH to just take our tax return and go!
Who wants to use their tax $$ on boring old bills .

 

[iluvwdw4ever]

Thanks for the compliments everyone!! But I cannot take the credit for the dresses..the most amazingly talented designer made them for me. I wish that I had an ounce of her talent!!

 

[miprender]

Beth that is great that you were able to see your grandkids

Just a quick post before I head off to work. I finally made Alexa some matching pajamas for her AG dolls. The easy fits sew up really quickly and I used newborn onesies for the tops. Brilliant idea, Michelle!

Sorry for the poor quality pic.

I made Connor some too but he wouldn't model them for me. They are not horse-themed. My husband hasn't managed to turn Connor into a little cowboy, in spite of his best efforts.

Glad you liked my Onsie idea and I love how you embroidered them too. I will have to try that next.

New twirl skirt for my baby cousin's birthday!

Going to fix up this shirt I got to match it as well!

Great job!

They look like so much fun to do!

I finally finished my AK dress earlier in the week. It was one of those projects that dragged on for no good reason. I need to take a picture of it one of these days!

The ITH project was so easy I could hardly believe it. I have to try the zippered one next.

Can't wait to see your AK Dress

Looked throught the last 6 pages during the week....LOVE all the different bags, dresses...so many cute items. (Sorry, I've not managed to catch multiple quotes yet)...I don't want to leave anyone out but it's all beautiful.... Oh, I hope the neighbor that was hit by the car has shown some improvement in her recovery.

Ran into Joann's this afternoon to get thread and a piece of blue and pink fabric for a current project I'm working on. I walked out with all of this..I just don't know what happen Now I have 20 new projects running through my head One good thing about this trip was I had a Rebate Debit Card with me that I've been carrying around for over a year and it paid for 80% of my purchase.

Great fabric choices.

Ok, now that we are back, I have a few more pics to share. Jessie and our AK outfit were posted awhile back. Here are the other 2 I was finishing. These were both from her birthday -

This is such a beautiful picture and ITA that is one of the prettiest Rapunzel dresses I have seen.

ADORABLE! Must try those one of these days.
..

It was so easy and sending PD that your house sells quickly.

My husband uses a Korean cleaners...his wife is always bringing hubby Kim chee in... she knows I won't let it in the house unless it is in glass... She had a jar for him for Christmas and she dropped it outside as she was handing it to him. His police car had such an aroma! (he said it made him hungry... but the bad guys begged to be put in a different car... LOL)

Nini

I have a strong sense of smell and smelly foods make me

Is there an easy way to learn everyone's names? LOL.

my name is my signature but it took a while for me to know everyone's name

We are currently waiting for today's update on our neighbor. Yesterday was the day they finally started to bring her out of the medically induced coma. I hope that she will wake up and be well. We are praying for that to be true!

Here is what I made last week for my little nephews:

Praying your neighbor will come through alright

Bummer about the size of the shirts. They came out great. I have yet to try the bowling shirt but I might just have to bite the bullet and give it a shot.

I went to Joanns today and got some goodies but no Star Wars Fabric it was all flannel.

I posted some pictures of my sewing space on my PTR. I am really liking how I have it but I am sure I will be tweaking it.

It seems only Marianne's has the cotton so far. Mine still only has the flannel but the lady said the cotton SW should be coming soon.

Pirate Dress..

Great photo's and outfits. I may have to go on a cruise to see all these awesome characters

 

[Dustykins]

IDK where to begin. Did you use a pattern for the bodice..I love the sleeves how did you do that..is there a tutorial for this yet.....to goggle I go....

Thanks for the inspiration! Hope you don't mind if a CASE DD dress after yours....... really its that good....

I *think* that's the Simplicity pattern. I've got that one.

I am glad I am not the only one who has fabric "magically" appear in my basket when it comes time to pay for my purchases.

I've been trying to finish up my laundry list of customs for our trip... I am not sure if you all heard or not - but I managed to pay off our girls trip in full with my sewing funds (DH gave us our airfare for Christmas though)... I am still trying to save up enough to pay for everything not included in the package, it's gonna be close. The girls and I are really excited, it seems to build every day - we will probably explode by the time our trip gets here.

D~

Good job on paying off the trip with sewing funds! I can't wait to hear about your adventures!

We'll be there Aug 2 - 16th can not wait....

Too bad, we won't be there until later in the month (gotta wait until free dining!)

Ok, now that we are back, I have a few more pics to share. Jessie and our AK outfit were posted awhile back. Here are the other 2 I was finishing. These were both from her birthday -

this was after BBB, typically my 4yo doesn't wear makeup

Wow! That Rapuzel dress is beautiful! Great job!

Now a short vent.

My husband loves Kim Chee. Two tours in Korea did it to him. (for those who don't know it is the worst smelling stuff on the planet. It is a Korean Sauerkraut type of stuff that is HOT!) When we get it I make sure it is 1- in a glass container (helps to contain the smell (but not totally successful!) and 2- SMALL containers.

Last night my daughter and her husband came over and brought my husband a gift! A plastic gallon container of Kim Chee!!! After only a few hours the aroma is completely filling the refrigerator! You have to take a deep breath before you can open it to get anything out. I had to throw a way a gallon of freshly made sweet tea. I will probably have to throw away a gallon of milk this afternoon! Even my eggs had an off taste! (did I mention it has NOT even been opened yet?)

My husband had the bright idea that we could put it in the refrigerator down stairs in the studio...NO! The last thing I need is to have all my thread, batting, and fabric smell!

My daughter thought the whole thing was funny! Me...not so much...



Nini

Kimchee isn't bad - try "stinky tofu" or durian.

When I first started on here I made a list of the user name and associated real name and just kept it by my computer. Now I know most of the regulars on here. A lot of folks also do not have their name as a sig, but a few I have eventually learned -- like PurpleEars!

Yup I am one of the those "mystery people." I just about never use my real name anywhere other than work though. Mind you, you get to know more about me on the BG board than here! At least there is a pic of me there.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for the right person to come through the house on RI and put in an offer!

nothing fancy but it's getting me back in the swing of sewing... wrist feels ok,but man does my shoulder hurt ,always does when i sew...gotta stop hunkerin' down...hehe

npt very bright but you get the idea...wish i'd of had a red or green bow/bead for the initial but i only had clear left...i may attempt an eye mask to match,need to try it so i can make soem for Elli's 10th b'day 'cousins sleepover spa party!' even 2 'cousin's of her heart' . which is what they call close family friends children...

Very cute!

I will keep on praying for your neighbour and her family. The shirts look great. Too bad about the fit issue.

Nice dresses! Thank you for sharing!

 

[nannye]

I am looking to make (errr rather ask my mom to make since i am hopeless at sewing) a Mary Poppins dress for a 5 year old and was wondering if anyone might know of a pattern or two I can look for or find online?
TIA

[ivey_family]

Howdy! After reading about 11 pages to get caught up, I only grabbed a few quotes. BUT, as always, everything is fabulous! Love all the bag, skirts, dresses, etc!

Welcome to all the new folks, too!

I haven't been doing any sewing since Christmas, but I am slowly getting my new counter organized and my sewing space cleaned up I think I'm procrastinating my next major task - about 40 nursing covers. I've GOT to get busy on those for Mom2Mom sale season in the spring. Feel free to (gently) kick me if I don't start mentioning completed covers in the next couple weeks!

I've been carefully planting DL bugs in dh's ear for the last month or so, and watching airfare. I think he's starting to cave! *crossing my fingers on that one!* I will REALLY need to kick Operation: Embroidery Machine into high gear is he says yes!

Hi all. I love reading your thread and seeing all the pics. I have finally finished the outfits for my youngest daughter for our upcoming trip.

Thought I'd try to share.

Her favorite:
Minnie for dinner at Chef Mickey's

front

Everything you made is just adorable (as is your dd!)! I LOVE this Minnie dress! I've got something similar in mind to match some pink sparkly Minnie shoes I just picked up at the resale shop!

But my DD LOVED it and was spinning around the house all day. That made it all worth while.

This is stunning! Honestly, one of the most beautiful fabric mixes I've ever seen! She will get so much attention!

shabby...
the best belated gift i got was this week when my estranged dil called and invited me over to mend fences...so i got to see Jackson & Avery!!!!! it had been 9 mos....they are as precious as ever and spent 2 hours catching me up on everything in their sweet lives...best of all was their wdw trip { same time we were there last may but different resort/parks....Avery rode ToT for the 1st time and was scared to death but giggled the whole time she told me about it and Jackson got to do a skit with Jack Sparrow! he got to sword fight and point and say " I see Blackbeards daughter' too fun!

Praising God with you for such exciting news! So glad you were able to love on your babies and praying the relationship with dil inproves dramatically!

Regards,
C.

I *think* that's the Simplicity pattern. I've got that one.

Thanks! I'll go look for it.....

Chiara, I loved your sewing space, and especially the artwork oh and I just get so whenever I see a Brother PE770.....I'll be joining in on your PTR ....right now I need to get back to work.

 

[GrammytoMany]

What does PTR stand for

 

[tinkerbell3747]

What does PTR stand for

PRE Trip Report.....some DISer's keep a journal of all the things going on in preperation for a Disney trip and a little everyday life too..it makes for great and easy conversation, it helps to keep the antisipation and excitement building. I like to read them because I just get so excited for anyone going to Disney. Great way to get to know people as well....

Before warned, they are addictive!

There are also TR = Trip Reports. This is a journal AFTER the trip where you can relive other peoples amazing disney memories. You can get opinions on Dinning and attractions, transportaion and some even post lots of pics. There are a lot of good ones on here. One of my favorite threads after this one of course

Some poeple (like Chiara) post the link to there PTR or TR in their signatures...check them out.

I love the ruffle back skirts that tie in the back. I have been looking for the patterns but only see them from companies that are not in the US. Can anyone help me find one of these pattern? If someone has one that they no longer need, I would be looking for a size 6. Thanks so much! I can't wait to get sewing on one.

I posted this over on the Big Give Forum but thought I would post it here too...

Quick backstory....

I live in the Cayman Islands so no running to Joann's and online ordering is limited with international shipping. Not to mention very expensive with Customs duty at 27.5%.

ANY who, I am making Crayon Roll up's for Keira and Cooper and I am so excited to be getting involved with the Big Gives.

I am planning a sewing shopping trip at the end of Febuary so for the next Give I will be more than ready...(chanting as I walk the isles)think boys and girls think boys and girls....

I have made Keira's roll up - I had some left over Tink Fabric from last years Disney trip (DD customs) so that was easy and it's already done.

Now for Cooper here is my deliema,

I need some ideas or opinions . I don't have any boy fabrics I bought some solid red and solid black fabric, I have some yellow Ric Rac (I could sandwhich between the front and back)...I was going to use yellow thread to break up the color a little bit in the top stitching and the pocket lines.

Thinking I could applique a Mickey Head on the outside....trying to turn some non disney stuff into kind of Disney...

Any thoughts on what I could do? I am open to anything.

I really want them to be special, these babies so deserve it
