I stumbled across a blog where she posted this picture:

and just could not stop laughing. Hope it brightens someone else's day up as well. I'm pretty sure I need an intervention!

Oh My Gravy!!! I absolutely LOVE how brainwashed women were back in the day. Don't get me wrong, they were simpler (maybe even better) days, but I don't believe a pair of pumps and pearls is going to help my sewing ability. Now you give me a vallium and a couple of martini's before noon and I will be as relaxed as those women were. I do not condone wearing pj's in public, but if you knock on my door you get what you get.

I just LOVE that about homeschooling. My kiddos and I have spent some time studying some really cool things because mama gets to pick the subjects!
It is such a great perk! I learn something EVERY day!
And about the shorts, I'm sorry but I ended up going with the white circles. More on that later.
I ...am...so sad...NO SUNSHINE??? My Mom's vintage Mickey bank has yellow and I am old, so I like old things...

Okay, so here's the mostly finished Mickey shorts for DS to wear. I still need to do the elastic for the waistband and hem up the bottom (DS was sleeping last night when I finished them and I wanted to make sure I got the length and fit on them right)

I ended up going with the "classic Mickey" that you see in the parks with the white circles in front. It was hard to choose because even though he appears that way in costume, nearly ALL merchandise sold by disney parks uses the yellow ovals instead.

Anyway, here's the front- I still want to add some little "x's" where the button holes would be, but I need to pick up some yellow embroidery floss for that:
SEEE.... YELLLOOOOWWWWW!!!!

and a little "surprise for the back":

YES those are wee little Mickey head shaped pockets! they are a tad wonky, but most people won't notice unless they are up close focusing on them, especially when I add the elastic in the back. I'm rather tickled with them.

I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!

I can't believe this was YOU!!!! You turkey~! I wish you would have told me... I would have thrown in a LGMH, at least. Well - I certainly hope you enjoy it, and I would love pictures of it in action - as it is one of my very favorite bags!

So YOU didn't know either D~???!!!! Tracy...you are VERY good at keeping a secret!



LOL - funny you should mention this. I was brainstorming with DH the other night, trying to come up with a good hostess gift for Marianne... One of my ideas was that I could restore her 237 while I am out there - which DH thought was a nice idea, however, he then reminded me of all the issues I had with Mr. R when I restored him. "You wouldn't want to leave her with a pile of parts when you leave, would you?" Um, yah, good point. So, he made me promise no machine restoring while I am in Charlotte... However, that won't keep me from poking around machines and giving advice.

I was thinking you could help me on the phone....but in person WOULD be better! JK, YOU are coming to PLAY not work!

I understand the running late thing too which I why I sat there for 25 minutes in the waiting room without complaining. But the fact that she knew she wasn't coming in the night before and failed to notify me and the office failed to tell me she wasn't coming in is what made me livid! And I happen to be an optometrist and while there are times I run late, it's few and far between and if I do it's for good reason. And whenever anyone walks in the door with a problem that requires being seen, I see them -- I work people in. It's just something you do when you're in a profession that deals with the service of others, particularly when r/t health care. Anyway, all is good as the OM handled my complaint very well and hopefully all goes well with today's appt.
OH HOW I RELATE both from the personal/patient standpoint and the professional standpoint! Again, you had EVERY right to be hot!

Welcome!!!! My kids wore Chip and Dale for Xmas (and of course this was the only night we didn't see them!):

I am going to post the pics of the outfits you sent the girls and I for our BG later! I LOVE these Chip and Dale!

Let's see, Marianne already has her figment bag but she doesn't have a backpack! I have a couple of things in mind for Judy and family and one involves no sewing whatsoever! My lips are sealed though as I know Judy has been perusing over here lately.
Good thing Judy started perusing again I see! there will be NO presents for Judy and family....don't forget I can still pitch that tent in the backyard if you get out of line! SOMEBODY isn't supposed to be spending any money....actually a BUNCH of us aren't supposed to be...I have bats to fight after all and rabies shots to endure...and pay for!

OMG! I love the back pockets!!! Too cute!! I think they turned out great.

Mad love, for sure!

Here's a better picture of me with my bouquet.

You look quite lovely!

How did you KNOW how I look on a daily basis!! For those who don't know what I look like and so the ladies staying at my house will know what I look like all gussied up...

I am just swooping through but loving all the new stuff posted..the epcot dress, the mickey shorts, beautiful job on teh sashes for the wedding..its all lovely.

And that looks like a note my mother would write me..i never wear makeup and I am barefoot 99% of the time. and if i had to make sure laundry was DONE before doing anything else..It would never happen


now HELP !!!

I have done a few appliques with my cheapo brother machine, but it is limited because the satin stitch is pretty wide and there is no adjustment....so I decided to work with my mothers, and i am having a heck of a time. It will be going along just beautifully..then decide to stop feeding the fabric through and make a million stitches in one spot and get stuck. I have tried fiddling with the adjustments but nothing is helping..any ideas what could be wrong? I totally destroyed the applique i was trying to make

Andrea and Chiara made us Christmas outfits for our BG because it was very important to me to celebrate. The prior three years we had missed Christmas due to hospital stays and medical stuff and these made me cry they were so special. Chiara made the guys shirts and Andrea made the girls shirts/skirts.

I love this dress - it was one that totally came out like I imagined it.

Amazing!!! Just love it!!!

Ack! Cuteness alert! LOVE the Mickey shorts!!

After seeing how she did her hair we decided to put in in her hair instead of on the sash.

Here's a better picture of me with my bouquet.

You look lovely--and way to come through with the sashes AND the bouquets!!! Love the MOH's flower in her hair, too!

Those are so great!!!!

For our December trip in 2011, I used mostly Christmas fabrics. I do not have an embroidery machine and haven't had the time to teach myself to applique with my sewing machine, so they were not embellished. Please excuse the watermarks---I used these for a storefront I've set up to potentially auction off a few outfits to raise money for Team Gleason as we train for the Half. I haven't uploaded any of our trip pics of Kaity wearing them to Photobucket yet, so they are empty clothes. LOL

Carla C's Festive Vest with Ruffled Easy Fit pants. I used gingerbread man buttons for the vest and we put a matching button on a matching hairbow

Back view

Carla C's Stripwork Jumper with double ruffle. She had matching pigtail bows and a pettiskirt underneath and CM's told her she belonged in It's a Small World!

For the 50's Prime Time--Circle Skirt with Gift Box applique in lieu of a Poodle (one of my few successful appliques!) and Carla C's Bowling Shirt. We put a scarf around her neck and her hair up in a ponytail

I didn't do any other Christmas outfits for the trip, the rest were themed to park/characters/restaurants.

YIKES!!! Sorry they are so big! Let me edit the settings in PB!!!

QUESTION:

Is there a way to make applique patterns? That you can download onto your machine? I want one that says BRAVE. I know how to spell out words and send them to my machine, but not how to do the applique patterns. If anyone has seen a BRAVE pattern, let me know. I thought it would be good for Tori to wear to chemo.

Do you have a 770 because Jessica has a brave word on her site misskenziemac.com and it stitches out beautifully.

 

[tricia]

I love everything that everyone has been making! I've been reading, but not posting. Good job everyone!

Does anyone know what pattern this might be?? I love it! I like upcycling t-shirts & this would be perfect. Please help if you can!

I have the Olivia pattern from farbenmix and it is very similar, that's what I usually use for up cycles. Here is one I did. Granted, it has sleeves, but that could be changed with little difficulty.

I just got my 770 today!! I am in love! Thanks for the tip on that site! I have never been there before and am excited!

Question...those with a 770, what tension do you usually set yours at?

 

[DisNorth]

GL finishing up the baby quilt. I HATE being on deadlines, so I'm sure you're feeling the pressure. please come back and share a picture with us when you are all finished up!

Thanks, I'm not good with deadlines but all I have left to do is the binding. Trouble is I got this satin binding and it's kind of a pain. I started putting it on tonight but started to get frustrated so stopped.

Oh my goodness, I had NO IDEA you were the winner of this bag!!! CONGRATS!!!! WHY are you waiting until January, that would be my EVERYDAY BAG....EVERY DAY! I would wear something Disney each day of my life if I had it! It makes me happy and I find myself smiling more!

I can't believe this was YOU!!!! You turkey~! I wish you would have told me... I would have thrown in a LGMH, at least. Well - I certainly hope you enjoy it, and I would love pictures of it in action - as it is one of my very favorite bags!

I wasn't purposely being secretive, really!
I don’t actually carry around a purse in my day-to-day life but I’ll probably find an excuse to use it before my January trip. I just know it will be much more appreciated in Disneyland Actually, I’m going to New York in September, Dumbo would fit in at Coney Island, I think?

Welcome, Tonyslady! I don't have any Christmas Disney outfits to share, but I do have one London Olympics/Epcot dress finished.

I love this dress - it was one that totally came out like I imagined it.

Amazing!

, love this and everyone's replies. I guess I would make a terrible 50's house wife.

 

[PrincessMickey]

Those top ones are awesome! We are driving to Disney in 2013 and I think I may have to have those for our trip!
I assume they would not be easy to make would they?

They're pretty easy. I used a tutorial instead of buying a pattern.

That's great, I may have to frame it in my sewing area.

It does look like everything came together great. I think your new SIL is quite naive though when it comes to planning. Can't wait until you're invited to her first dinner party and get served undercooked meat and burnt dinner rolls I do like how the color scheme worked out -- they are never colors I would have personally chosen, but I still they went really well together. You did a great job with the rush sashes and a superb job with the flowers. Your new SIL owes you big time -- she should invite you over for a few dinners And for the record, I like your hair more natural too -- it looks pretty done up, but I like it straight better

Thanks!. I agree she owes me big time. She did puplicly thank me at the wedding which surprised me but she definately owes me.

I love the Santa pic except you can't see your skirt in it. The outfits are great, Chaira and Andrea did an excellent job! Oh and thanks for the compliment

Yeah!!! Congrats on the new machine. I don't have an embroidery machine so I can't help you, sorry.

Okay, I love, love this Jumper !!! I can totally see why they said she belonged in Small World !! Now I really want to make one that looks just like it !!

Okay, so I cut out two patterns and actually cut out fabric for one of them. I still have to cut out the lining but haven't decided what I want to use for it yet. I screwed up too. The skirt piece were so big that I had to cute each of the 4 pieces individually and forgot to flip them over to cut out the second so I now I have to figure out it when I stitch it to the top. It's not a gathered skirt so I don't know how easy it will be to fit. I hope I don't make it crazy wrong. Do you think I can swap a front for back piece ? I guess I'll have to figure it out as I put it together.

I am making this dress, pattern A

I have the top roses and the skirt Snow White by T Kinkade. I debated doing the sleeves blue birds but my DH talked me out of it and I am still thinking of creating a sash to go with it out of the birds instead.

I am really looking forward to sewing something that has no gathers at all. Even the sleeves go straight in.

I still cannot figure out what to make from the Chintz I got. All the dresses I look at take more fabric than I have. Even for a size 3, some of these dresses take 6 plus yards !! Ugh !! I only have 4 of each color cut into two yards each.

Anyone have a princess dress pattern that doesn't take so much fabric ?

 

[pyrxtc]

sorry it's so large. Didn't think it would be.

P.S. It takes me at least 5 times hitting reply in order to post anything so now I make sure I copy so I can paste. My internet is just not working right, right now.

Love this!!

I think my post yesterday evening disappeared or I am just missing it... I got my machine back, works like a charm! Did two appliqués last night, one for a paying customer (coworker)

And my enabler post I went to Joann's yesterday and, in addition to the 50% off remnant bin, they had two FE rolling carts of clearance fabric bolts that were also 50% off, some cute ones! I bought Christmas ornament/peace sign print for $1.50 a yard. I will save it for a holiday BG or for my kids next year for our holiday trip to WDW, but I couldn't pass up the price!

Thank you! Your dress looks more like the one I posted, but samples of the Olivia pattern don't look anything like it on the bottom? Theirs is split? Are there directions for altering it so it looks more pieced like you did? I was also thinking it looked like Lil' Blue Boo's racerback tank dress. Still not sure. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!

You also need to check out Heather's site for applique. http://www.froufroubyheathersue.com/ She used to be here on this thread a lot, buy now only drops by for quick visits.

Those top ones are awesome! We are driving to Disney in 2013 and I think I may have to have those for our trip!
I assume they would not be easy to make would they?

Speaking of quick visits, here's another one. You could totally make a few of these, if you just took the time. If you decide to get someone else to make them, just make sure you measure a bunch of the stuff that the kids are going to want to store, so that you get the pockets sized perfectly.

The Olivia pattern is actually, a knit underdress, and a woven over dress. What I posted is just the knit underdress by itself. I have actually never made the other part of the pattern, but that is the split part you are talking about.

And yep, LBB's pattern would probably give you the look you want without any modifications for the dress.

Drive by post to share the finished Minnie and Mickey sets I worked on last night. Mickey still needs two white buttons sewn in for the applique, but I have to go to the store because I didn't have any in my stash that would work.

Will be back later on when I have a bit more time to catch up with everyone else. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

It's not split - the overdress is a front-button pinafore.

I made this version when Gracie was two.

That is really cute! They will be adorable together.

I took a Disney sewing break and stitched up a new gymnastics leotard for DD and my mom and I made "Sewing Catty" organizers as a test project for the machine I won (that will basically be her machine).

I have what will be an Animal Kingdom/trip to the zoo outfit for me cut out. I think I will finish that tonight since I am taking the kids to the NC Zoo tomorrow and it would be fun to have that done. We are crossing our fingers for the baby giraffe to come soon!
