This is not Disney related but we recently had a baby shower for my daughter and I whipped up a few things for it. They are having a baby girl in 5 weeks!

They are doing her room in a pink and brown cowgirl theme. I made this quilt for her crib. I had never attempted any sort of quilt making before so I kind of winged it.

This is my diaper cake FAIL. It fell apart in my van on the way to the shower. We tried to put it back together but it just wasn't working!

Our buggy-shaped watermelon!

And buggy-shaped deviled eggs.

Here are some onesies that I did. You can't see them very well but one says "This really is my first rodeo," and another says "My Daddy can team rope better than yours." My son-in-law was on the rodeo team in college.

And the cake!

And last but not least, the mama-to-be a couple of weeks ago at 33 weeks.

Hi Everyone,

It's been at least a month since I've posted, but I've been following along and loving everything! I just have almost no time to actually post. I hate not getting to comment on all the terrific creations, but please know that I'm thoroughly enjoying seeing all of them! Hopefully things will settle down soon, so I can jump back in!

I did want to comment on this machine, though:

Since she was born in 1942, my MIL suggested the name..so I present "Rosie"

Congrats! She looks a lot like my Beth, who I just love! In addition to D's list of sites, I came across this blog which allowed me to do all the wiring myself. There is also a post about how to repaint the numbers on the stitch length plate that I found useful. Good luck getting Rosie into top shape!

Theresa - I'm very sorry for your family's loss!

Back to lurking around for the time being,
C.

Well, I've lurked around here on a few different occasions, but never had the nerve to attempt cool shirts, etc for our trips. I wanted to, but didn't.

My husband was saying how nice it would be if we all wore matching (ie, same color) shirts on our next trip to make it easier to keep up with everyone in a crowd... Six kids...

I decided that if we're going to have matching shirts, I might as well make them special. I don't really sew that much, but I'm a crafter and do LOTS of needlework, so I think I can do some fabric appliqués with some simple hand stitching. It won't compare to what you guys do, but everyone else who hasn't witnessed your glory will probably think I'm amazing.

I'm heading to a local screen printer Thursday who is going to cut me a deal on blank t shirts since I need so many! I know I'm going to do Mickey tie dyes for one day and have a Brave shirt planned, but the rest will probably be faux ties for the boys and Mickey heads for the girls in some cool Disney character fabrics. I welcome any advice on where to get fabric. Thanks! (Oh, and Hello!)

I have already bookmarked that site....and sent the link to my dad who knows how to solder, its on our to-do list....but I did take a peek at the motor brushes..and they are SUPER clean...I am thinking this machine got very little use at all...I may try to do a few stitches with her tonight if the kids let me!

 

[smile5sunshine]

I am beginning to sew a little again. I am still very slow and have to stop often. I find that having a separate room dedicated just to sewing makes it much easier for me. I am not always having to get out the machines and am able to just close the door on my mess.

I am not doing anything elaborate, just easy stuff for around the new apartment, but as soon as I figure out how to mail packages without a car, I can do big gives again!

Here are some pictures of the sewing room.

I also made the curtains and shower curtain for the bath attached to that room. (and covered the lamp to match)

HURRAY for getting back to sewing! your sewing room looks great! And I can just imagine how much easier it is now that you don't have to pack up your mess and put it away every time you want to sew! (that's what I'm currently doing and I'm SO over it!)

Looks like it was a fantastic shower. I think the quilt turned out very cute! And I love the sayings you picked for the onsies.

Sunshine, your creations are GORGEOUS!!!! Your sweeties wil be so cute in them and get lots of compliments!

Why thank you! I don't case so much about extra attention or compliments, but I will just be happy if my kiddos feel special when they get to wear them. (which I know they will, and that's exactly why I'm doing it! LOVE to see my kiddos smile!)

Hi Carrie! sorry that you have been so busy. I hope things begin to settle down for you so you can come out and "play" more!

WELCOME! Your creations will be AWESOME and they will be that much more special because they are mama-made! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Oh please do try to sew tonight! I am on pins and needles waiting to find out how Rosie does! I have a feeling that whoever had her before you took really good care of her and she's probably in super duper condition!


DD3 has been sick all day. Around 3am she crawled in bed with me saying her tummy hurt. She's complained off and on all day that she needed to throw up, but actually hadn't been until late this afternoon. She's also running a fever so the kids and I took the day off from school. Dh is also home so we took turns babying our little sicky and on my off time I was able to get the Jessie skirt done!

I upcycled a pair of holey kneed jeans for the top portion of this and then used the MADE layered skirt tutorial found here: http://www.danamadeit.com/2012/03/tutorial-the-layered-skirt.html

Now I need to finish the shirt! It's all cut out, so once I actually sit down at the machine, it should go quickly.

Welcome! Can't wait to see what you come up with. You usually get alot of attention when you all match. And lucky you, having a husband that is willing to do that!!

 

[Yoshiandi]

I did, however, finish THE BACKPACK:

It is water-proofed, converts to a cross-body...DH called it a Swiss-Army knife. LOL

I have a ton of pics and details about how I made it on my blog.[/QUOTE]

What pattern did you use to make that backpack?? It's amazing!!!

 

[TinkNH]

I did give Rosie a quick try tonight, quick because on closer inspection the plug is open on the end and it made me just to plug her in, so I just did a few lines of stitches and then put her away until my replacement stuff comes and we can re-wire her.

She runs super smooth and straight as an arrow there are some tension issues but I will figure that out when we finish her refurb and get her safely wired for the 21st century. I had taken the whole tension knob apart to clean it so I am not surprised she needs to be adjusted. I found the whole adjusters manual online so DL it to my ipad for easy reference when I work on her.
I will find that #$%!$ camera cord and post pics at some point..now that her silver parts are silver and not brown and shes all shiny. (My fingernails however may never be the same!)

I need to figure out what to do with her desk...I like the idea of it..however it is so dirty...I have scrubbed the outside with murphys oil soap several times and it is still filthy. Would it be against some vintage law to strip her and paint or stain her...cause I am really thinking about it.

Off to print patterns for DD and my totes i am making..I hope to start on them tomorrow...

Love the sewing room pics! DD9 is moving up to the 3rd floor walk up as soon as we can get it carpeted, and then I get the 1st floor room as my sewing/craft room...I cant wait to get it set up...I hate having my craft stuff in the living room!

 

[nannye]

Ugh so I printed my Mickey heads on iron on transfers and brought hem with me but left the instructions at home. Help lol I have never done an iron on before so I'm at a loss. Do I cut it out? Help! Lol
Thanks

As for cutting them out, it depends on whether the background is clear or white...actually I would think it would be a good idea to cut them out either way...

Assuming you know nothing about irons on here....first make sure that your shirts are washed and totally dry and ironed (it goes against every grain in my body to iron a t-shirt!) Once that is done set your iron to the cotton/linen setting and make sure there is no water/steam in your iron. Then peel the paper backing off of the iron on and place the picture where ever you want it on the t-shirt. (I have only used "dark transfers"...white background...so I am sure that some one will correct me if it is different for the clear ones) You will need to put a sheet of parchment paper over the iron on and then literally iron it on.

I hope that this makes sense!

I did it ! I made up my mind and bought myself a new machine. After much review I decided to go with a Brother Machine. I decided to go with Brother PC-420 PRW Limited Edition. I can't wait to try it out and hope I love it. It comes with "My Custom Stitch". I can't wait to design little Mickey head stitches to use. LOL !!

I hope I don't have any issues like I did with the Singer I got when I broke my Mom's machine. I chose the free Super Saver shipping from Amazon so I will have to wait patiently for it to arrive. Give me time to read the manual and get some patterns cut out before it arrives. Also, I can spend some time with my kids before I start sewing crazy again.

Plus, I hit Joann's while I was out tonight and this store had the new pattern's in stock. I bought them right out of the shipping box and got my costume I posted earlier and the pattern for the princess aprons. Yay !!

HAPPY 4THEVERYONE!

Piper I am sooooo happy to hear you are sewing again! This is the best news I've heard in a long time. Your curtain turned out fabulous! I love your sewing space too. I really need to get my thread rack on the wall but dread doing it -- I think you have inspired me to make dh do it today since he's home!

This is not Disney related but we recently had a baby shower for my daughter and I whipped up a few things for it. They are having a baby girl in 5 weeks!

And the cake!

And last but not least, the mama-to-be a couple of weeks ago at 33 weeks.

Everything looks great. I'm sad your diaper cake fell apart but it looks like you rescued it quite well. I see some of those appliques I just used! Your dd looks sooooo tiny for being 33 wks in that pic -- I looked like that at about 20 weeks! And I adore the onesies. Do they have a name picked out or should we just call the baby "cowgirl"?

Welcome! Most common places for fabric seem to be Joann's, Hancocks and Walmart. Make sure you post pics of your creations.

DD3 has been sick all day. Around 3am she crawled in bed with me saying her tummy hurt. She's complained off and on all day that she needed to throw up, but actually hadn't been until late this afternoon. She's also running a fever so the kids and I took the day off from school.

Sorry your dd is sick -- I hope it's just a 24 hour ordeal and that she's on the mend today. There is nothing worse than young children vomiting.

Your skirt is great! I wish I could do that for ds -- he has so many jeans that fit in the waist b/c they are a size too big but are too short on him. Ruffles on the bottom won't work for him either! I guess I need to buy my 10 y/o size 14 this year to get them long enough Thank goodness for adjustable waists.

Congrats! My last order form Amazon cam 3 days earlier than expected with super saver shipping I don't know anything about that machine, but I hope it ends up being the perfect machine for you.

AHHHHHHHH, but the extra complimnets WILL have then feleiing speical, wrapped in Mom's creaiotns made with love. Smiling children (and hugs and kisses) are the BEST!!!!

I hope she is feeling MUCH better today and No one else gets sick!

I LOVE that skirt!!! Lisa's Jessie skirt is a smidge to small now and she just saw this one, said it was adorable. She loves it and so do I!! I would LOVE to see it modeled, hint hint.

Thanks it is a clear background. Disney tomorrow!

Erin, I hope you have a blast, I can't wait to read all about it! V is a blessed little lady!

Before you head to the screen printer you may want to check out jiffyshirts.com you can get all the shirts you need at a very low price and really fast shipping. You also probably know this but the very generous designers on the creative board can help with a few designs if you are interested in iron ons http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=105

Happy July 4th! It it s one month to Disney! We are driving to PA and I plan to stop at G Street Fabrics when we hit the DC area. I already have my coupon printed. ;-)

I cut out a Tinkerbell knit nightgown for me last night, along with a pair of shorts for my older. Of course, I have to wait until we get back to sew.

 

[cogero]

Happy 4th of July

I have been working to finish up orders because I have to do a little sewing for our Cruise and we leave in 16 days.

I need to make the following for my kiddos

Simply Sweet Belle for C (my first one)
Pirate outfit for J
Pirate shirt for C (we are reusing her skirt)
Cruise Set for C
Cruise Set for J

I hope to start on these this weekend oh and we need to heat press 27 shirts for our FE group once I go through my stash to see what I have here first. I have a huge stash of shirts I will probably never use so I am going to use those first.

Have a great day I have 3 appliques to finish another order so I am going to do that in a few minutes.

 

[phins_jazy]

Hey y'all! Just wanted to say hi. I haven't been around since our last trip to the world in 2009. We're going again this christmas and I've been making ADR's this week so I figured I had better start sewing!!!! Went to pull out my embroidery machine, which I haven't touched since the last trip, (YIKES) and realized that my amazing box wasn't packed away with it. I have the card in my machine but no way to get the designs from my computer to my machine. I still have a mickey head on my card. I tore up the entire house, the garage, my sewing room looking for that little box. No luck. So, either my girls will have lots of mickey head clothing or I will be shelling out $$$ for a new box. Sigh....... I knew you ladies would understand!

I FOUND MY BOX!!!!!!!
Tore up my house one last time and I found it!!!!! Actually my daughter found it in her room! Why it was there I will never know. Don't really care! lol so now I can start going through my designs again. woohoo!!! Happy day!
