I realized I hadn't shared pictures of the projects from the summer, so I better take a minute to do so!

As I was sick for a good part of the summer, my productivity was quite low. I made the following items for Big Gives:

Sunhats for a girl, side A:

Side B:

For another Give, I did a set of sea life/Nemo based theme tops a boy and a girl.
Front of the girl's top:

Back of the top:

I did a set of 6 burpies for DH's cousin's baby shower. Unfortunately I did not take a picture of them before sending them in the mail.

I also made my first eye-spy bag this summer. DH was great in helping me find little trinkets to put into the bag. We picked up random things from garage sales (that people were happy to give away). We had coins, sea shells, marbles, scrabble tiles, a monopoly house, buttons, and Lego pieces in the bag. It was a present for our best friend's daugther (she is turning 3 in the fall). Again, I forgot to take a picture of it. I don't think she quite understands the concept of eye-spy bags yet. She is currently using the bag as a pillow for her Minnie Mouse .

I still need to finish going through the pictures from our trip. I will share some pictures when I get a chance.

Love everything! I think my favorite is the girls Nemo top! I do the same thing too, I forget to take pictures until it's too late.

Love that fabric and the applique is great!

Silly question, how much yardage for "easy fit" pants? Probably an xl, both in flannel and knit. Adult size? I haven't purchased a pattern yet but am hoping to get to Joann's tomorrow and take advantage of their "senior discount" day. I thought Jammie's would be my next project! Everyone's Things are beautiful! I really need a little girl!

Holy cow, I cannot even keep up with this thread! Everything is so amazing!!

I know this isn't an outfit...but I DID sew it!!! I am a stay at home Momma on very tight budget so often I make things because I REALLY want them but don't have the extra money in the budget to buy them. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Minnie ear umbrella stroller at Walmart, but we are so close to our trip and just two weeks ago had to buy a new washer and dryer because they both died on us a week apart! So I just don't have the extra spending money for something that I really don't need. Luckily my Momma is super awesome and gave me a hunk of Minnie fabric leftover from something she made for my 16 month old. She gave me the red fabric about 7 years ago when I really started sewing heavily and the black was scraps from another project. Not too bad for FREE!!! Now we have a Minnie ear stroller! PLUS, it's my big stroller, not the umbrella. So happy with this!!!

That is sooooo cute!!! Fabulous job!

Adorable! What great fabric. Where on earth did you find that?

It depends on the length of the pants. 3.5 yards is the most you would need, but again, the measurements are by the length, not the size.

That is an adorable outfit.

QUICK QUESTION... hopefully someone sees this soon...

I ordered fabric to make my daughter pants for apple day at school tomorrow... the fabric just got here and I have never made pants before. I was planning to get the easy fit pattern from YCMT but I need to know... what else do I need to have in order to make these pants and about how long will it take a beginner to do this? If it is too hard or involves something I don't have at home then she will just get a pillowcase dress.

Thanks!

I hope you got the pants made ok. They are super easy! I think they are easier than the pillowcase dresses.

Love the hats and the shirts. You did a lot of appliques for the tops! I am sure the Big Give recipients loved them!

That's just adorable! Is the top an iron on design? How did you get one to match your fabric so well?

Silly question, how much yardage for "easy fit" pants?

Everyone's Things are beautiful! I really need a little girl!

I'd also suggest about 3 1/2 yards for flannel. Depending on the width of the knit you might be able to get away with less than that since knits tend to be much wider fabric.

If you feel the need to sew for a little girl, then you should join our Big Give group. We get some adorable little ones to sew for. Plus it is so much fun to make something and send it off to somebody as a big surprise!

Thank you!

The fabric is Alexander Henry Merry You and Me in Pink. I bought it off Ebay.

The Mickey Head is an iron on. I was searing etsy one day for Epcot to get some ideas and came across a Small World Iron on. The owner accepted custom designs so I tweaked it a bit to get what I wanted but I love how it came out. I ordered one with a blue background too so that I can make a tee-shirt for my nephew.
This was the starting point of the design.

Tonight I get to make the big girl version of the skirt. Its all cut out I just have to sew it together. I also have to redo the elastic on Alice's. She tried it on this morning and said it was too tight. I guess I cut the elastic too small. (Good thing I had it safety pinned inside and not sewn)

 

[Disneymom1218]

I bought the top fabirc a long time ago (either last year or the year before) and plan to make skirts out of it for Thanksgiving on our trip this year. I was thinking of doing a 2 layered skirt and I'm trying to decide if the bottom material would look good as an underskirt (about as much as you see would peek out). Do they go well enough together? I can't decide if I should just do a single layer skirt with the turkeys or if I should do the 2 layer skirt. Be honest please.

I am way behind, but I think they are perfect together. can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[babynala]

I lost some quotes when I restarted my machine and I am VERY far behind (I think that might be a pattern for me) so I apologize if I missed anyone.

That Cinderella dress is AMAZING. Such beautiful details. Love the Rapunzel "family" too.

PurpleEars - Glad to see you around. I hope you had a nice cruise but I'm sorry you got sick. Sounds like you had a nice trip to FL. How fun that you got to meet some other Disboutiquers.

Amyhoff - love the pink Cinderella dress. I've always wanted to make one these but I'm scared of the "bows" and I think I missed my chance with my DD.

ncmomof2 - I think you are in Disney now so I hope you have a great trip. I love the dresses. I hope you get a chance to share some pictures when you get back.

TinkNH - Sorry you are getting stressed with your flights. On a recent trip we got rebooked because our flight was cancelled and my husband told the girl at the check in counter that we were fine with having separate seats from our kids since it would be a much more peaceful flight for us. She was able to put us all together. Although on our first Disney trip we flew NW from Detroit and we had 4 seats in different parts of the plane. The ground staff would not even try to get it straightened out and told us the flight attendants would have to deal with it. People gladly moved but my DH and DD were in the back of the plane and I was in the front with my DS who was barely one at the time. The flight attendant had to hold him while I installed the car seat. And airlines wonder why they always have delays! I hope you have a great time on your trip.

Pyrxtc - your Merida cosutme looks beautiful.

Ohstuffandfluff - The perry dress is perfect. Love your applique.

Peachygreen - love the AK dresses, and the buttons will be perfect. The Epcot set is awesome.

goteamwood - I LOVE those Mickey shirts. The girls look so cute in their matching dresses.

Pumpkinpatchquilter - Your stroller is amazing. The only problem that I forsee is that you will get stopped every 10 minutes in the parks with everyone fawning over your stroller. So much better then the Walmart version, plus you have cup holders!!!!!

I dont know if I posted but after 30 min or so on hold, a frustrating 15 min with the first person I spoke to..I asked for a supervisor and had seats with us all together and a nice chat about how awesome WDW is. Granted we are in the last rows of the plane..but 1. its close to the bathroom, which may be a bonus with 2 4 yr olds...and like I told her..strap us to the wing, i dont care, just put my kids and I together

I am so glad that they had resolved the issue for you. I hope the travel will go smoothly for you!

My kiddos are HUGE fans of Phineas and Ferb so of course there has to be a custom outfit designated to this awesome show!! Here is my DD's Perry dress!

close up of hand applique

I love this! Did you hand applique that cute baby Perry?

Waaay too much to quote since I've been missing for a bit. Everything looks great as usual, love the Minnie stroller!

Well, I lost my job today but gained my PE770. The bookstore that I just got hired at a month ago closed very suddenly this morning so now I am out of a job again. I won't be looking for another one, just will go back to being a SAHM. It'll be nice, but the loss of the bookstore will be felt throughout the community and we especially loved storytime there. My daughter took her 1st steps there!

But, my machine got here today! I think I have it about halfway figured out and have embroidered a name and appliqued Heather's Jack Skellington. I am loving it!

Glad you got it straightened out. It will be one less thing to have to worry about for your trip. Having to go thru the airport with little ones is stressful enough!

Sorry to hear about the bookstore being closed and thus no job but it is nice that you get to be home with your DD. Yippie on getting your machine and already getting something stitched out Can't wait to see what you make.

 

[pyrxtc]

seems like we slowed down a bit.

 

[BorkBorkBork]

Jealous of all you guys on your trip or getting ready to leave! We went Sept 18-25 last year and I am fondly remembering and planning for next October!

I am loving my machine and stitched out about 7 things last night. I was able to finish this dress for DD for the Nemo 3D movie and HOPEFULLY she will still fit into it next year for our trip. In my experience, the tied straps are better for that than elastic.

It puckered a bit around the applique--does anyone know what I did wrong? I used heavyweight cutaway stabilizer.

Those hats are so cute and love the BG items. You do amazing work with those patchwork dresses & skirts.

Adorable dress.

It sounds like you used the right stabilizer so it could have been the fabric. Sometimes it happens. Also if your stabilizer or fabric were not really tight it will pucker. Lastly you could blame your needle.
