I've finished my sewing for our trip that is a little over a week away.
These are the shirts for my grandson.
And dresses for my granddaughter.
I decided to make myself a new purse for the trip and my granddaughter decided she needed one too.
My daughter did tie-dye shirts for all of us to wear one day. Maybe she'll post a picture since I don't have one.

Wow, everything looks great! I the shirts for your grandson are very cute and so are the purses. I love that grandma and granddaughter have matching bags! I really, really love the Minnie dress and the Cinderella dress.These are the shirts for my grandson.

Glad the shirt went over so well and your costume looks super in action. I'm sorry the party wasn't so hot. I was disappointed in MVMCP when we went to that. It was so expensive and I have no idea what was so special about it.our 5 days in Disneyland went way too fast. I haven't ordered our PP CD yet so I only have my phone pics. DS9 shirt went over awesome in Carsland.
We managed to ride it about 4 times in two days with half that being single rider lines. On our 2nd day in that park, the camera's were down so no ride pics.
I have a crude pic of me in my costume from the party.
The party was super packed and even though there were signs up outside the parks that said the party was sold out, they were selling tickets inside when it was time for everyone to leave. The ride lines were super long as were the characters and trick or treating. It wasn't as enjoyable as WDW parties were and I don't know that I would do it again. 2 plus hour waits for HM during the party but it was 15 minute waits earlier in the day.
We spent our whole first day in the pool. The saline was so much better than the chlorine except it dried out our skin a bit. Still so tired and body is not back on the right time yet, it wasn't right out there either.
Had a realtor at my house today to get it listed and hopefully sold. My DS still ahs to sew together all his Halloween bags before his school party too. Guess that's what I'll be doing for the next 3 weeks.
Cute, cute, cute!!!!I just finished this dress today. I had it 99% done but the shirring on one sleeve didn't work right. I had run out of elastic thread and changed to a different brand when I did that one sleeve. Well, the new brand didn't work well. Today I went to Joanns and bought the Dritz elastic that I've always used. It worked great and I was able to finish this set up.
I am clueless but wanted to give you a bump. You may just have to walk the feet on inHi ladies -
I rarely sew, so I don't know much of anything about all these machines and feet etc, so I was looking for some help.
I have this foot (on LEFT) for an "old-style" Bernina (1630). It looks different from other #10 Edge Stitch Feet I find online though, like in bottom picture. What are the 2 glass-looking bubbles at the top right?
THANK YOU in advance~!
rotfl to a sewing center and see if they can tell you.Yes, snap tape is pricey! I have only ever used it for the hospital gowns I made for Lisa and I think I was able to get away with 2/3 yard for each and definitely used my coupon!I think we agree that one of the things we like best about this thread is how much we learn from it. I have to share my thanks and "warn" others who may have missed one of the previous "lessons".
My son has asked me to make a slipcover for a loveseat he bought secondhand. Who wouldn't love to do that, especially if the loveseat is in California, and me and my little ole sewing machine are in New York!
I went to Joann today to get some snap tape to use on the cushion covers. I couldn't find the price on the shelf and even though I had a 40% coupon, I asked the price before getting it cut because I remember reading here once upon a time that it's expensive. Did you know it's $9.99 a yard???? I'm so glad the little voice told me to ask before getting it cut. It was going to get two yards. (Instead I went to Plan B.) You've been warned.
I've been enjoying your creations. I hate to comment on some and not all, so please forgive my neglect. At the risk of leaving out some worthy outfits, I need to comment on a few.
VBAndrea -- your daughter's macaw outfit for the Tiki Room is over the top amazing. Hope you can get ADRs there for your next trip.
miprender -- you manged quite well without the black polka dot fabric you sent me.Don't bother to take your camera on your trip because I'll be stalking you and taking photos. I can't imagine the hours you put into the outfits.
Dustykins - your kin look amazing (not dusty at all) and the wedding photos are wonderful. My buucket list includes going to a wedding at WDW (or DL or DLP or cruise) but I'm not quite sure how to make that one happen.
PurpleEars -- your dresses and skirt look great in action. I read you were sick, but since I've been slacking I don't know if that affected your Alaska cruise. We just got back last week and had a wonderful time. We saw whales and moose, but not bears, and apparently we were also lucky that we got to see Denali (Mt McKinley) on a non-foggy day.
dianemom2 -- Wow. You're always coming up with something different.
My sincere apologies to any I have neglected. It's me, not you.
My you have been busy! I love the bags you made to match the shirts. Very well done!Well I finally finished my Disney sewing! We love on Saturday, it's about time. This one is picture heavy. First, someone just asked about a dlsr camera strap cover- http://www.lbg-studio.com/2010/08/tutorial-camera-strap-cover-with-lens.html This is the one I used for this
Shirt for the 4 of us for the MNSSHP
treat bags to match
Shirts for just dh and I for the 2nd party
treat bags to match these too
And a Snow White inspired peasant top for me
Don't mind the pictures, what looks red is actually orange. These aren't as fancy as I would like, but we have our party supplies at least.

Were they difficult to make? I really want an Infinity dress for myself made with knit but it seems like sooooooo much fabric to work with.
Fabulous job! I really, really, really LOVE the Minnie dress -- great fabrics and awesome pattern!!I've finished my sewing for our trip that is a little over a week away.

I finally have some pictures to share from our end of August trip:
We got a number of comments from guests and cast members regarding our ears and my outfits (especially the two Minnie inspired dresses). I think my next Minnie themed dress will be a Marlo (modified from the top to make it into a dress), though I haven't 100% decided on that yet. At this rate maybe I should make a line of Minnie inspired dress using SisBoom patterns! Mind you, I don't know if I will ever do the halter dress unless I can make sure it has, um, good coverage.
Finally have time to upload my photos
Here is what we are wearing for MNSSHP Oct 5th. Say if you see us
a lot of stuff has gone up since I went on vacation and I looked at all of it but too much to quote. Halloween clothes were awesome and so was that Minnie dress, the rick rack really gave it something extra. I love all of the clothes and you can see how hard everyone worked on them. I think my favorite was the dress that was made from scraps and the pointy bottoms.
our 5 days in Disneyland went way too fast. I haven't ordered our PP CD yet so I only have my phone pics. DS9 shirt went over awesome in Carsland.
We managed to ride it about 4 times in two days with half that being single rider lines. On our 2nd day in that park, the camera's were down so no ride pics.

This is totally going to be picture vomit, but here we go:
Disney trip photos round 2 - wedding!

When I make a shirt, I use heavy weight cut away stabilizer and then I iron Tender Touch on the back so it isn't scratchy against the child's skin. Try ironing the shirt next time before you put the stuff on the back. Also try spraying the stabilizer with temporary adhesive spray before hooping it with your shirt. That helps keep it in place for me.
Ooohhhh that was the Main Street Boutiques launch in August. It was such a great, creative dress. I love the tentacles. I can't remember who made it but I will post that it was spotted at Disney! I hope you are having a good time on your trip!
I am so thankful that we had the special oppurtunity and priviledge to honor their family and make her Make a Wish trip extra special. If you havent joined in on a Big Give yet, please come and check it out - the memories for these families last a lifetime 
Wendy, thank you for letting us know. This was one of those families that really wiggled their way into my heart. This is such sad news.Hi Everyone,
I got some sad news this morning. One of our Make A Wish Big Give Kiddos passed away last night. If you could say a prayer for the family, I| know they would be greatful.....She was a brave little girl....
