cogero Bows and clothes has Nala and Scar.

I haven't seen them anywhere else


Thanks! I also checked applicakes. No lion king stuff but saw LOTS of super cute stuff for other projects.

Now I need to figure how to properly quote in my responses....

okay apologizing in advance if you have seen these on FB or my PTR or maybe I have even posted here but I can't remember

Duffy Outfit

On the Duffy and AK outfit I am reusing shorts from August

I have a couple other things almost done and will post on my PTR.

these are all so great it's really hard to pick a favorite, but I guess I'm a sucker for Madras fabric so I pick DUFFY!

Thanks so much! The outfit is for our family trip in July. I'm hoping she grows because the 'pants' are suppose to be capris. I might have to take them up some if she doesn't. This past trip was with some girlfriends of mine. It's nice to have a girls' weekend every now and then.

don't know how I missed the part about it being a "girls only trip". Man, that sounds like a slice of heaven getting to go all by yourself and be with ADULTS at Disney for DAYS (can you tell I have small kiddos who I stay at home with right now? )

Hi Friends,

I am here with pics, I have been lurking on and off through the week but have been busy setting up my machines and trying to wash and iron my fabric.

I promised pictures so here they are. I didn't get any of the notions but I have some if everything now and its so exciting.....please excuse the mess it will be all cleaned up this weekend.

there is actually over 117 different fabrics there....

My first test run...not to bad but it is puckering a little. I used SUlky sticky back, I didn't hoop the fabric just the stabilizer and just laid the fabric on top of the sticky part.... this was just for practice and won't be used in any projects I just grabs some scraps....

sorry the pics are so big....note to self get a lamp....

THERE it is! And what a GLORIOUS sight it is! Your 1st test applique looks like it turned out great!

Hello everyone,
I have been lurking again for a long time, so I should re-introduce myself.

I live near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I have 3 kids (2 girls and 1 boy) and don't get to Disney often enough! I have been with the kids 3 times since 2006. I spend too much time on the computer drooling over all your creations!
There has been TMTQ since I was last online, but I'm hoping to keep more up-to-date, and get sewing again!
I'm envious of all you ladies who have just got a Embroidery Machine. Hoping maybe this year... there are not as many places in Canada to get one. Maybe I'll have to pop across the border.
Keep the pics coming
Sue

HI! *waves* It's so fun to lurk on here and see all the wonderful creations everyone posts!

Edited to add:

Your new fabrics look wonderful! I'm mourning my fabric stash. I had to sell or donate most of it when I down-sized. Just did not have room for it!

Hello, from a fellow lurker! I lurk more than I post.

My sewing primarily is adult, office-appropriate stuff, so I really don't post photos. I'm planning in May to begin a school wardrobe for a special four-year-old in my life (aka Miss Abigail) who will start kindergarten in August. If I start any sooner, she probably will outgrow most of the things before school starts! She is tall for her age (courtesy of tall parents and grandparents).

at having to part with your fabric stash! What a traumatic event to survive

I would LOVE to see some of your sewing work, even if it isn't Disney related at all. I like seeing how other people sew for themselves, as it's something I'm trying to start doing myself.

I finished these this afternoon for the current Big Give.

I'm really experimenting with photo bucket and resizing my photos. Until just a month ago I had only dial-up internet service available and rarely did anything with photos. This high-speed, high-tech stuff is still somewhat mind-boggling for me. I'll get better, promise!

Those are super cute! I just know the family will be thrilled to receive them.

As for me, I did a little playing around with the boxy bag size today. Made one a little bigger and added an iron on vinyl for a little water proofing. SOmone at the store suggested it. IT was ok.

Still loving everyone's great outfits. Too many to quote!!!

looks great! I like the bigger size.

this is the Cindy inspired sundress i made for friends going to WDW next week. they will be doing the Princess Storybook dinner in Norway. I was inspired by a dress by one of you ladies! blue sundress with slipper on the bottom. i ended up having to do a double layered skirt because the fabric was see through.i had thought baout adding her initials to the bodice but didn't have time..would be perfect since her's are H.R.H. like her royal highness!!! 'Hallie Rose H.'I am so excited for them,the kids have no idea about the trip,they think they are going to Texas with grandma! i can't wait for them to share video and pix! anyway now thatthis is finished i need to get back to dgd's easter dresses but i am helping dd move this weekend so no sewing time or energy...crunch time after that! exciting that they will now have a bedroom to decorate for Liberty! they never found a home to buy in their price range w/ 4 bedrooms but lucked up on a rental! extra bedroom plus a small computer room and less money than they were paying for a 3 bedroom...so it's all good ,just moving is hard!

thanks for looking ~Beth~

VERY CUTE! I bet the little girl will LOVE it!

Super busy washing fabric, just jumped on to say HI and take a much needed break from the iron.....

TTTQ (To Tierd to Quote) but I love the towels for the Give....still trying to figure out my Pixie Dust....

Chiara, THANKS for letting me and DD case your Nerds outfit.

Someone (sorry forgot who it was) wanted to see pictures of the Fabric all spread out.....so here is what I have I'll post a better pic once I have it all washed and put on the shelves....

Also the fabric from my test run is from Hobby Lobby I really like it. Bought some last year but when I saw it I had to get it again...I think I may use it in my Repunzel set for DD.....

I Hope everyone has a great weekend.....happy sewing to those working on projects and enjoy the weather for those who are seeing warmer temps.....

IT'S. SO. BEAUTIFUL.
MUST. LOOK. AWAY.

Hi Ladies,

I have been lurking for about 6 months now. This board inspired me to get my first sewing machine in October and just go for it. Now, I'm addicted And its getting worse...just got my first embroidery machine (Brother PE 770)!!

I will post some pics of my projects once I have enough posts...and figure out photobucket...

I need some help finding some lion king applique designs. I am working on some shirts for Mitchell's big give. I love heathersue's baby simba but I was hoping to find a grown up Simba and/or Nala or some other characters from the movie but I'm not having any luck. Any advice? Thanks!

Gennie

Hi! Ha ha, I feel that this thread should come with some sort of warning/disclaimer, because it totally sucks you in! Can't wait to see what you've been making.

I wanted to share my first attempt at making the Insa skirt. I shortened the waistband and felt like that fit my daughter a little better. I am really liking this pattern and the book as a whole!!

This is so cute! it's the first time I have seen this pattern. Great job!

I just took my first sewing class yesterday. Never touched a machine before. I decided today would be a good day to try to make some pillow case dresses. I used no pattern, just tried to copy what I saw online everywhere.

My first attempt,

My second attempt,

GO YOU! Both dresses look great! Hope the classes give you more confidence so you'll be sewing up a storm in no time.

Still at my gma's house and stayed up WAAAAAYYY too late tonight trying to finish two skirts for my DDs. I did it, well except for the elastic in the waist.....I always forget to get their waist measurements BEFORE I send them off to bed and it's much too hard trying to get one on a prone child without waking them up! (Don't think I haven't tried before! ) Again, an IOU on the pics as I don't have my camera cord.

It was I who asked. Thanks for posting a better picture. Now I can drool over the things I can't buy -- I looked and Hobby Lobby still has that fabric and I want it, but I can't buy any fabric right now

I wanted to share my first attempt at making the Insa skirt. I shortened the waistband and felt like that fit my daughter a little better. I am really liking this pattern and the book as a whole!!

Very cute! I often shorten the waistband as well. I have never ruched mine with the elastic though as I usually do appliques on mine.

I just took my first sewing class yesterday. Never touched a machine before. I decided today would be a good day to try to make some pillow case dresses. I used no pattern, just tried to copy what I saw online everywhere.

My first attempt,

My second attempt,

Cute! I have that heart fabric -- I made dd a skirt for Valentine's with it. I still have nightmares of those little shiny circles all over my dryer and other clothing!

Where can I find some Jasmine or Mulan fabric ?

If there is any you could find it on etsy likely from a Japanese seller. I think there was a sheet set with Jasmine on it at one time that I saw on e-bay as well. And I *think* I saw some Mulan on etsy once when I was doing a BG I looked but it was too expensive.

Very cute! I have that pattern/book but I haven't used any of the patterns yet. I keep saying that I will but life keeps getting in the way.

My second attempt,

Great job! Now that you've started sewing, you won't be able to stop

I haven't seen any Jasmin or Mulan fabric anywhere. Check on Etsy. But if somebody has some, it might be pretty expensive because you can't find it easily.

 

[SallyfromDE]

Where can I find some Jasmine or Mulan fabric ?

I haven't been able to find any. Mulan, when you do find it, is really expensive. I saw a gorgeous peice of satin go for about $300, a few years ago. Jasmine, you can find sheets on Ebay.

Great Job! I have several Insa's planned for DD - I'll be appliquing on the top skirt so I won't put the elastic in but yours looks GREAT!......

GREAT JOB!

Pillow case dresses where my first dresses too....I only made 2 then I was off to the races.....I suggest any CarlaC pattern from YCMT when your ready to try one....

I agree with the PP - once you start you won't be able to stop.....welcome to the Colorful side Girls we got another one.....

 

[Gryffinclaw]

Where are they? Does it work like Sweet Peas Place?

You have to email bows and clothes and sign up for an account to get access to the characters. Is sweet peas the same? I signed up for and account and "liked" her shop on fb but still cannot "see" her dis designs....

 

[Gryffinclaw]

Hi Gennie, welcome to the group! I am glad we inspired you to get an embroidery machine. Have your tried Bows and Clothes for your design? You have to sign up on her site in order to be able to see her character designs. There is also another designer who is on Artfire, who has them. I can't remember her shop name though. Maybe somebody else can come up with it.[/QUOTE]

Thanks!! It's good to be here .

My second attempt,

Great job! My first 2 projects were pillowcases dresses. I liked the finished product but HATED the using the paper patterns. After that, I switched to ebooks from YCMT and have had a LOT more fun sewing! I recommend Carla C's peasant dress and her easy fit pants.

I thought I read somewhere that she took all her characters down.....like she had gotten in trouble or something? Maybe someone who has purchased from sweet peas recently can say?

Subbing to this thread to get some ideas for our upcoming trip!

and because I didn't think C had enough outfits I made more

I just LOVE these Epcot outfits! Where did the Spaceship Earth Mickey head come from! That's a great idea!

Hi Friends,

I am here with pics, I have been lurking on and off through the week but have been busy setting up my machines and trying to wash and iron my fabric.

Congrats on finally getting set-up and starting some embroidery! It looks fantastic! Can't wait to see your completed creations!

I finished these this afternoon for the current Big Give.

These towels are AWESOME! What a great idea! I showed the pic to my dh and mentioned that when I get my emb machine, we can make towels like that for our Mickey Bathroom. His response, "We'll just mess 'em up." to which I replied, "Then, I'll make MORE!"

As for me, I did a little playing around with the boxy bag size today. Made one a little bigger and added an iron on vinyl for a little water proofing. SOmone at the store suggested it. IT was ok.

Very nice! Love the dots!

thanks for looking ~Beth~

Welcome to the fun!

Very pretty! The colors are great, and that smurf print - fun!

Nice work! Can't wait to see what you try next!

She hid them. I just found this out last week. You can email her and request access.

[ivey_family]

Ok, thanks, Chiara! Adding it to my list!

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

Sunshine- It is awesome to go with just adults. Here's my little secret (don't tell anyone! ) The trip this July is my kids' first! DH and I got married at WDW, and that is the only time he's been to 'Disney'. I go about 2-3 times a year for long weekends with my friends. It's wonderful! We try all the wine and eat at the fancy restaurants. I honestly don't know how to 'do' Disney with the kids! I hope our trip this summer goes smooth. I can't wait to see Carsland!


I got called off from work tonight, so I'm going to be busy making Natalie her Ariel dress. It will take me a while though. I love all these embroidery designs and hope to get a machine someday soon.

Oh, and I love the pillowcase dress! What a fantastic first project!

I have purchased from Sweet Pea in the last week - sound like she and Bows & Clothes are working the same way - smart.

I'd been thinking about how you were 5 days "behind" because of a hurricane but hadn't had any snow days yet . . . crazy weather, huh?

I know.... crazy right

Where can I find some Jasmine or Mulan fabric ?

As everyone else posted, that fabric is very rare. I did see Jasmine bed sheets on ebay a few weeks ago.

Hi! Ha ha, I feel that this thread should come with some sort of warning/disclaimer, because it totally sucks you in! Can't wait to see what you've been making.

It really should before I joined this thread a few years ago I never knew I had a fabric obsession.

You have to email bows and clothes and sign up for an account to get access to the characters. Is sweet peas the same? I signed up for and account and "liked" her shop on fb but still cannot "see" her dis designs....

It is exactly like B&C. Send her a message on FB. She has to hit the magic button.

I thought I read somewhere that she took all her characters down.....like she had gotten in trouble or something? Maybe someone who has purchased from sweet peas recently can say?

She has them hidden now.
