So sad my Art Gallery Poetica fabric is dwindling and I love it for Princesses though I do have a different line I am crushing on.

Everything is very pretty. My favorite is the Monsters Inc outfit. I always love those colors! I've never heard of that line of fabrics but it is very pretty. What new line of fabrics do you like?

Where did you get the princes protector design?? Thanks

It is one of Heather Sue's designs. I thought it was cute for a little boy who will be there with 3 girls. LOL! I was going to make my own design but then Heather Sue had that 50% sale and it wasn't worth it for me to spend the time to make my own.

Ok, so there is the updated version of the Tinkerbell Oliver+S dress. I do think that the pockets helped.

I just received a bunch of Lily Belle. I think I just love how soft it is.

Thanks, I must have missed it on heather's site - very good for boy srounded by girls!
Very cute tinkerbell dress, the pockets look good.

I am a long-time lurker, sporadic poster. I finished my first ever peasant dress! This will be for my 3 year old for BBB on December 30. The whole trip is a surprise, so I couldn't try it on. But it's exactly the length of her night gowns, so I think it will fit.

Looks great! How exciting to be a surprise, can't wait to see it in action!

The pattern was super easy and went together really fast, I should have no problem whipping up the others in time for Christmas. I always see fleece in the remnant rack and never knew what to do with it, now I will have to keep a lookout, since we do have a fair number of cold months around here.

Looks great and what a great deal on the fleece! I love that pattern, I have made several for my boys.

And last but not least - Saturday 11/24 at Epcot. I love these dresses. I love the elastic casing in the back. The dress really came together very nicely and they looked so cute in them.

And just to show off the back of the dress

Love all the action shots! Too bad about the dresses falling apart because they look good and I love the how the elastic back turned out!

3 t-shirt for my nephew to wear on their trip to Disney

A new dress pattern. It is called the Butterfly dress. It was a great pattern and I'm planning to make at least a couple more.

And then this one is the Oliver+S Ice cream dress pattern that I used a couple of weeks ago. I increased the width of the bottom part of the dress so that it was twirlier. I think that the dress needs something but I can't figure out what.

Those shirts turned out great and I love the butterfly dress! I was also going to suggest a sash for the last one but read ahead to see what you did.

They all look great but I like the Monster's Inc one the best. I also like that fabric, I would be sad too using it all up.

Thank you, that was my thought too but when I did it they were huge. Think easy fits for the arms. What I ended up doing is using the raglan sleeve. I took the size three bowling shirt sleve and attached the botom of the size 3 raglan sleeve and cut it that way. It looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Of course I have no idea if it worked until I get it in the mail and get it out to my grandson to try on, but it looks good to me. I'll post later when I have a minute. Now I have to get Christmas day outfits done and get all of this mailed hopefully Monday at the latest!

Chiara, your outfits look great! I have always loved your fabric choices, you really have a gift with that.

Glad it worked out to use the raglan sleeves. I had always wanted to make a long sleeve one but was never brave enough to venture too far away from the pattern.

Hello all! been MIA from looking at all your beautiful creations for much to long!

I do have some special news to share, especially with everyone who helped us with our Hugs from Megan blanket project for the Orphanage in Haiti....Megan and I will be going done Jan 4 - 6 for the dedication!!! we are so blessed to be able to do this and we will be visiting the Hotel Montana and memorial garden as well...it will be a bittersweet trip for us with dealing with our emotions of being where my Jim died and the happiness of the dedication.

Thank you again to everyone who helped with the blankets, I know they will bring many smiles to the children...unfortunately I don't think we will be able to meet them when we go since they won't be quite ready for them!

How exciting that you will be able to go. One of our local news stations here has 2 reporters down there this week with a group of volunteers building habitat for humanity homes. Every night when they do their story from there I have been thinking of you.

Looks great, have a great trip!

Looks much better with the pockets and rick rack!

we are excited to go, been waiting for far to long...
how wonderful! so great that other organizations are continuing to help out in Haiti! thank you for keeping us in your thoughts

 

[tricia]

Thanks so much for alll your input. Having looked at some of the existing designs, her designs seem to be very similar.... she's 10, so she is pretty excited to think they are original...

for example, she wants a Mickey Head our of camo fabric for one of her brothers, Minnie head with different patterns of bows... So, could she take her ideas and hit the fabric store? for the camo, the pirate scarf, the minnie bows etc?

You could do that, and if you have a sewing machine and a willingness to learn there is a great tutorial so you could actually do an appliqué using her pictures.

From their reports it sounds like a big group of volunteers down there this week, they are trying to build 100 homes this week for people who are still living in the tent camp. They interviewed Jimmy Carter and his wife and showed them working on a house the other night and last night they interviewed Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood.

Fabulous. The ferries set is so cute. The fabrics look great. I hope you have some scraps left - maybe you could make a fabulous twirl skirt for C.

Looking at prewound bobbins from marathon thread. I am planning to order the ones on this page http://marathonthread.com/prewound.shtml

ITEM# 14000P: FILTEC PLASTIC SIDED POLYESTER Filament Bobbin, 125yds, size "L"
(White) - 100 PCS

and

ITEM# 14000PB: FILTEC PLASTIC SIDED POLYESTER Filament Bobbin, 115yds, size "L"
(Black) - 100 PCS

just wanted to check these ones were good!

I have only used white bobbin thread for embroidery so I don't know how much you will find the black ones useful.

Hellooo! This would be me, rudely interupting your thread. Sadly, I am not talented and do not sew... well, a button, maybe!

Anyway, I was wondering if any of you amazingly talented ladies could tell me if something I'd like to do is even possible. We are headed to Disney towards the end of February. My daughter has designed a mickey head for each family member. (think a farmer mickey, a priate mickey etc..) Is there any possible way to take the mickey heads she has created and turn them into those amazing embroidered mickey heads on tee shirts? For example, her farmer mickey is the plain black mickey head with a plain tan hat and a piece of straw coming from where mickeys mouth would be... Am I making any sense? Is this even possible? Or are there some sort of "premade" mickey heads that you use to embroider?

Thanks so much for alll your input. Having looked at some of the existing designs, her designs seem to be very similar.... she's 10, so she is pretty excited to think they are original...

for example, she wants a Mickey Head our of camo fabric for one of her brothers, Minnie head with different patterns of bows... So, could she take her ideas and hit the fabric store? for the camo, the pirate scarf, the minnie bows etc?

Welcome! You can also do a combination of "premade" Mickey head (you can get them as iron on patches) and drawing the add-on's with fabric paint! If you have a sewing machine that does zig-zag stitches, you can also sew the Mickey heads on the shirts if you wish.

Now I have to get Christmas day outfits done and get all of this mailed hopefully Monday at the latest!

I am glad that you came up with something that works. I will have to keep that in mind if I decide to do a long sleeve version of the bowling shirt.

So now that we are back, it is time to think of Christmas. I want to make the girls Bean Bag Chairs for Christmas.

Does anyone 1) know of a good pattern for a bean bag chair and 2) know where I can get comfy stuffing. I hate the hard little ball things you find in a lot of bean bag chairs. I find them exceptionally uncomfortable. I'd prefer something softer - more like foam.

I don't have suggestions for either of your questions but I hope someone else can help you out.

that is wonderful, yes so many are still in tents....one of the best parts of the building of the orphanage is that the Haitian men who helped the American men/women learned a trade to help them make their village and lives better too!

I am sure that it will be an emotional but memorable trip. Can't wait to hear all the details.

yes it will! I am going to do a mini TR about it when I start my PTR next week for our Disney trips next year.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful news! I am sure it will be a very special trip for you and Megan. Please share your experience with us if you feel comfortable doing so.

thanks Flora, we are hoping for it to be special too! I will be sharing (see above) and will post the link when I get it started - hopefully next week!

Hi everyone,

We're still here at WDW, but the room wifi is so bad I haven't been able to upload anymore pictures. I'll have a bunch to share after we're home.

We didn't have time for pictures or to chat, but I briefly got to meet THE Heather Sue today! We're at the same park tomorrow too, so hoping to have more time to chat!

Off to do laundry.

Regards,
C.

GoTeamWood -- Love the HUlk.

Peachygreen- The dresses are great ! So sorry that the bought petticoats are not worth their price and are coming apart already. It's a good thing you can sew and can fix them when you get home. I would contact the store and tell them about it, maybe you'll get a credit or something because of the problem?

Test post. Nothing like last minute lol. We leave tomorrow!!! These are for Saturday and I packed our Mickey tye dyes for Sunday.

The outfits look great ! I haven't decided if I'm bringing my tie-dye Mickey shirt. I haven't even started packing yet and I leave Sunday at 6 am. I did finish my shirts and a Mickey little girl dress that I just "needed" to do when it popped in my head. It's going to be exciting and different.

My hoodies i have been working on.....

 

[pyrxtc]

So, I guess I should share my shirts I made for myself. pardon the cruddy pics and hopefully I will get better one's once we are there and I actually wear them. Both of these shirts are shown pre-hemmed.

And the dress I just had to make once the idea popped into my head. i just did a quick rolled hem until Know how long I want it and I am undecided about maybe adding a ruffle to the bottom. I will be making a cape to match with red lining and a sparkly light pink outside and another (for the copy of this dress I will make wiht slight changes) with red polka dots outside. Both will have an MM embroidered on the collar and the pink one will have an applique of Minnie on the back of cape.

detail of the extra I added to the ties and the piping down the front.

 

[Nevada Jen]

Love the dress! I have to learn to put in a zipper! But good idea for the cape! I am totally going to make one for my DD with that Minnie fabric! I think I might even try to make it fur lined because our Wish trip is in January. OOOO!!!!! I can make it in that minnie mouse fabric on the outside, red polkadot on the inside and make the white fur fabric snap over the red polkadot so it is removable!

Sounds like an awesome idea with the fur ! I love this pattern... I have so many idea's of how I can change it up. It's a pattern from 1972 that I bought at a yard sale. Wish I had a way scan the pattern for you. Maybe if I took pictures of it, it would work so you could see the shapes. Also, I bet if you added a little fabric on the back, you could do buttons instead.

Slowly catching back up. Had a nice time over Thanksgiving visiting with my family but once we returned home I got SICK! (Like high fevers that didn't respond to tylenol and I can't take NSAIDs) Finally kicked the fevers to the curb and now just some sinus/chest congestion and a cough. And needless to say there was a considerable amount of effort to get the house back on track after me taking a few days off from my typical household chores!

My hoodies i have been working on.....

those are looking nice! I like the girlie skull fabric.

I've not made one, but her other stuff is great, so I expect this to be too. I'm sure you can find more reviews online if you google it.

Hello all! been MIA from looking at all your beautiful creations for much to long!

I do have some special news to share, especially with everyone who helped us with our Hugs from Megan blanket project for the Orphanage in Haiti....Megan and I will be going done Jan 4 - 6 for the dedication!!! we are so blessed to be able to do this and we will be visiting the Hotel Montana and memorial garden as well...it will be a bittersweet trip for us with dealing with our emotions of being where my Jim died and the happiness of the dedication.

Thank you again to everyone who helped with the blankets, I know they will bring many smiles to the children...unfortunately I don't think we will be able to meet them when we go since they won't be quite ready for them!

Wow what a special trip for the two of you to be making. Prayers for a safe journey there and back.

Test post. Nothing like last minute lol. We leave tomorrow!!! These are for Saturday and I packed our Mickey tye dyes for Sunday.

Oh you are already there but these are fantastic! I too love the pom-poms on the skirt! So cute!

Ok, so there is the updated version of the Tinkerbell Oliver+S dress. I do think that the pockets helped.

Don't hate me for telling you this after the fact but I think that it really needs another fabric to break up the pattern a bit. Perhaps next time you make the dress I would use a different fabric for the yoke of the dress and then use that same yoke-fabric for the pockets and possibly even a contrasting band at the bottom. I DO think the pockets helped though and I'm sure she will enjoy wearing it.
