I love your Elsa dress. The snowflake shear is perfect. I am planning to use Simply Sweet to make an Elsa dress too, but I have to add a little more bling to please my 11yo.

I thought about adding some glitter ribbon to the front, but decided not to. I made it so she could pretend to be either Elsa or Cinderella. Mine was for a 3 year old who loves dressing up. I got a good deal on that snowflake sheer $3 a metre. Silly me only bought the one metre.

Here are a few things I made recently. The pajamas were a Christmas present for my nephew. The Elsa Dress is my own version of a Simply Sweet and the cape is a separate piece since I figured the material wouldn't last very long in good condition. It's Velcro closure around the back straps as I didn't want it going around her neck.

The pajamas look very comfy and the Elsa dress is very pretty.

Hi All! Happy New Year!
So Santa brought me an embroidery machine for Christmas!
I went to etsy and of course bought a Disney font only to figure out you need software to lay the names out.
So I figured I'd ask the experts!! Do any of you have software that you love and would like to recommend?
Thanks,
Dee

I finally finished my first custom for our trip. It is a Minnie Mouse dress for my 9yo DD.



The pattern is a CarlaC Precious Dress. This is the first thing I have made with my new sewing machine. I got a Singer One Plus for Christmas. This is the first machine I have ever owned with and automatic buttonhole stitch. I LOVE it!

That is a very cute dress.

I mostly lurked and posted a bit while we prepared for our last trip 3 year ago. We are planning another trip this December so I am starting to plot again. Last trip I had a 5x7 embroidery machine and a sewing machine. I have SIGNIFICANTLY (almost embarrassingly) upgraded over the last few years so it will be extra fun to create this time. Only hitch is that my girls now believe that they are "too old" for embroidered shirts, so I will have to figure out what to do for them. I'll share a few pics soon!

Welcome back! I'm just coming back too. I was only on here very briefly before our first family trip 2 years ago. I found this board just a few weeks before our trip so didn't have much sewing time. I did, however, manage to acquire lots of fabric during those weeks. I got one thing finished for each kid for the last trip - this one will be better!

We're just 3 weeks away from our next family trip, so it's time to sew! (I keep planning these trips shortly after the holidays when we're crazy busy...)

I finished my first project on the Cameo!

Nice! I've never seen a Cameo before, but it looks like it could be a lot of fun!

Now that my Christmas sewing is done I really need to get moving on our trip sewing. I have never been this far behind! On my list I have a Doc McStuffins's skirt, 2 Mike W. shirts, 1 Musket Mickey shirt or dress, 1 Chip and Dale shirt, 2 figment outfits and more. Time for me to get off the computer and get sewing! I will try to get back with pictures next month!

That list sounds like something I would create within weeks of a trip! Oh wait, I did. I hope you manage to get everything done!

i posted a while back asking for ideas and disappeared. I ended up making my daughter's halloween costume, a halloween skirt for her, myself and my best friend, masks for my daughter and a skirt for her birthday and wanted to share! I was so excited. I want to attempt ruffle pants next. i want try to have a few pairs made for my daughter's wish trip next month. I found a good youtube tutorial that Im gonna try to follow. Anyone use youtube for tutes? If so, who is your favorite?

Love your creations! I also made Halloween costumes for my kids. We had Elsa and Anna (of course), Indiana Jones and an obscure character from a book for my oldest. I'll dig up the pictures after I get the kids dinner.

Sew What Pro from S&S Computing. They have a free trial but there are also a ton of youtube video tutorials.

Hi! I have been dusting my sewing machine off and I am ready to get back to some very basic sewing.

I placed an order at Fabric.com back on 1/8 and it still shows as "processing". Does it usually take this long to receive fabric from them?

Unfortunately since Amazon bought Fabric.com the customer service has been hit or miss. You may want to call them and see if they have an idea of a shipping date, maybe it will prompt them to process your order.

Love your comfy Elsa dress! The way you attached the cape is great.

Your dress really lived up to it's name - absolutely precious!

Turns out the fabric was sold out. Amazingly I got the notice of it being sold out less than 30 minutes after I sent an email requesting a status on my order. :

I bought this purse at Disney world about 4 years ago and used it for a couple of years until the top and straps started looking very worn. Then I put it away in the closet because I wanted to remake it. A few days ago I pulled it out of the closet, bought some red coordinating fabric and got busy sewing. The first picture is the original purse the other pictures are the "new" purse.




A close up.


I also made myself a new pair of pajama pants.

I love your refashion of your purse! That fabric is just too great to get rid of.

I've been busily sewing for our upcoming trip. So far I've finished one shirt and two dresses, and have one skirt approaching completion. Fabric for 3 more dresses is washed and ironed and a couple more are planned after that. DS wants a t-shirt with Donald Duck on it so I'm going to tackle hand embroidery for the first time since I'll take any interest I can get in my handmade clothing with an almost 12 year old boy. Today I'll have to get some pictures of the things I've finished.

I would love to see pictures of what you're working on.
