First off... I just wanted to say hi to Cheryl... Loved the pillow cases... I hope you are doing well - I miss seeing you around... I also thought I would let you know that it won't do to canoe to my house this year... The lake is still frozen... Bring an ice auger if you'd like to attempt.

Ok, I know it isn't sewing but I thought I'd share a few things that I made for the bat mitzvah. Here is the girls' candle lighting board:
I also made 18 tablecloths and a bunch of other stuff. I made their tallitots too. I think I shared pictures of them already.
I have a bunch of things to post. Not that I have been very productive, just slacking on posting so it seems like alot. That being said I am not sure if I posted some of these things or not so I apologize if you have seen a few of these before.
OK, as you can tell I am a slacker so my DD did not have a birthday party this past November (nor did she have one the year before) so we planned a half birthday party and had a few girls sleep over last weekend. We did a ...

I made this with the intention that we could re-use the skirt for our trip to Universal. I will be making a Harry Potter theme shirt to wear with this skirt. I think the colors will apply to both even though the maroon is probably not "red" enough for Iron Man. As a bonus the jeans part of this skirt was a hand me down but the elastic in the waist was broken so my DD never wore it, it was in my sewing room to fix but I never got around to it and legs are too short now so perfect for an "upcycle". I see a few more of these in my future, with different
After spending most of the morning (and afternoon) playing with my photo software and photobucket I finally got my pictures "straight". I hate when software thinks it is smarting then me and does things automatically. Thanks for checking out my stuff.
Sorry if some of these are duplicates...

I'm working on the Cinderella dress and can't decide which trim to use to make the contour on the bodice. I have (on the right) white with pearl beads - but it's kind of wide; (on the left) silver, sort of braided, and (second pic, on the left) plain white ribbon.
Please ignore the fact that everything is just stuck on her (it's a good thing my model doesn't mind pins) and that her arms are on the couch behind her

Hi Everyone!
My name is Ashley and I am new to the sewing worldI just took my first class tonight and made a pillowcase style dress for my 5 year old. It came together pretty good only a couple of spots that are only noticeable if you are really looking at the dress upclose.
Anyways can anyone recommend a pattern for another simple style summer dress? Every pattern that I seem to pick up seems to require a zipper and I am not brave enough to tackle that yet. My daughter would like a dress that she can twirl in a little bit unlike the pillowcase style dress I made tonight which is pretty straight.
Thanks for any help you can give a newbie

Hi DISboutiquers!
I was encouraged to share the pink Cinderella dress the mice made that my daughter will be wearing to Disney this weekend! What's cute is she actually thinks Cinderella's mice & the birds made her dress
I also wanted to suggest I thought it would be a good idea to start a picture thread for what everyone's kids wore on their Disney trip(s). Whether it be a princess dress, pirate costume or a homemade Disney inspired dress. What does everyone think???
Anyway, here is her Cinderella dress:
Ok get ready, photo bomb, sorry.
Here is a princess outfit we wore to Disney on ice. I let DH set her up while I took the photo, so the skirt is crooked. There are 4 appliques on the skirt, Belle/beast, Cindi/charming, snow white, and Rapunzel. Sorry I do not have
Here is a quick throw together a tinkerbelle skirt to see Cathy Rigby as Peter Pan.
Sorry if this is so many, but they are so cute. I can't believe how big they have grown. Forgive me if the pics are so big, i couldnt' figure that part out
Hi all! my first post on the new thread. I had my baby girl last October.....just flitted over here a minute to peak at the new pics. My I have a hard time keeping up with this thread now that I have 3 kids. I am selfishly checking in here instead of making my grocery list while baby E sleeps. I'm finishing up her dress for her 6 mos pictures which are friday....yes I procrastinate a lot more now.
Nini congrats on the new grand daughter
Good news.....we are booking a trip for October 2013....during DS fall break. We will leave a few days shy of 1st Bday for the little one. I may actually have to come back more now for disney related sewing inspiration before the trip....just for the girls though, DS is growing up on me.
Here's the latest set I have ready to mail.
If anyone is interested in making pillowcases, ellenbenny (I miss you) has a good tutorial on the Big Give site.
) Here's her shirt and clippies:
Okay, took me forever to find this. Hopefully you'll can see it!!
Teresajoy gets credit for the Buzz dress!
So, I've been crazy busy the last few weeks getting ready for the craft show yesterday. I'm happy to report that it went pretty well. I made some money, so that's always nice.
Here's some pics of things I made and my table:
Mug Rugs:
Love all the creations everyone has posted!!! I just got back from a week at WDW. It was me & my youngest DD(10). A coworker and her DD(10) joined us for 5 nights. My coworker had not been in 22 years and this was to be her DDs one & only trip. I made them some Ts to help make their trip special.
Nade them these Minnie ear Ts-fun to make as they are something my youngest would never wear.

Made them these (DD & I already had them).
I made us all Epcot Flower Fest logo Ts
Once my coworker had booked her trip I tried every day for a month to get us an ADR at CP before the park opened. Once I got that ADR I made us these Ts
I made the girls pillowcases for autographs
I made a T for her DD of her favorite characters.
And one for my DD of her favorite
And PJs for both girls
We had a great trip! Weather was near perfect most of the trip. Crowds were manageable. My DD & I went to Splitzville and had a blast. And I booked a Bounceback for my entire family for August.
Here's one of the first outfits I made. I started sewing so I could make my tomboy feminine outfits out of "boy" fabrics she would wear. I couldn't find a photo of the failed first outfit made using a commercial pattern. Then I started using Carla's patterns.
Purple ears-I used that tutorial to make a bag a few years ago. I'm sure you can make it to work for you.

My table set up:
Not sure if I'm going to do craft shows regularly or not at this point. It's an awful lot of work and just hasn't quite been as successful as I'd hoped.
Something exciting happened about two weeks ago. I received an email from a local gift shop asking if she could buy some of my nursing covers! She'd seen them on Etsy and she wanted to buy 5-6 at first. I took in 10 so she could choose from all the fabrics. She bought them all on the spot! I came home and bought Embird right away.
(I did look at Embrilliance again, Jen, but they don't intend to offer digitizing capability which I plan to do in the future, so I went with Embird.
I pulled my first staying up late the night before an event to make clothes a couple week's ago. We were going to a Tigers baseball game so I made a new shirt for my dd. i think I purchased the designs at about midnight.
And here she is at the game:
And finally, here are the Mother's Day gifts I made for my mom, mil, dh's grandma and his aunts. Burlap is messy! I'm still cleaning fuzz off my cutting table!
This is for my mil, but I plan to make one for our house too:
Now, I've got three pairs of shorts and 3-4 shirts to get done before we leave for the beach next Saturday. Totally doable, right?
Regards,
C.

Thanks for letting me know Flora... Do you think it's worth all the $, time and effort to convert all the fonts I would need, or would you think I would just be better off purchasing a SE400, then I wouldn't have to put so much time into file converting? I am just leaning towards buying the SE400... The problem is, I had just gotten past the whole "maybe I should buy an embroidery machine stage" because I was functioning just fine with out one - still am.
Congrats on your discount for your December trip! That's awesome!

), but we are happy to take a discount whenever possible!These aren't Disney but I thought I'd share my most recent sewing projects for the grandkids.
My granddaughter picked out the dress fabric and pattern from my stashes and helped cut it out. Then she informed me that I could finish it for her. The fabric for my grandson was also from my stash and he liked all the trucks.
thanks! It means a lot coming from you. You can't be serious about being jealous! You noticed I didn't post any close up pics of my appliqués? Yours are always perfect in every stitch. Mine are far from perfect. I wish you lived closer so you could I could watch how you do it.Sorry to get rid of all your pictures, but I loved everything! You do such a great job at applique, I am incredibly jealous. I loved your fabric parings too and the pillow cases turned out great... I just love that idea.
I am even more excited that you were able to get a bounce back for August - that is fantastic! Looking sooo forward to meeting you!

Thanks! My little tomboy is getting so big. She not so much a tomboy anymore but still won't wear light pink.
Love your bowling shirt-what little boy wouldn't love that! Cute dress too. How great to use fabrics from your stash too! I really need to use tons from my stash too!These aren't Disney but I thought I'd share my most recent sewing projects for the grandkids.

thanks! I was very busy! I'm not sure what I'll make for August. My older DD has ask for an Eeyore shirt. I also want to make my DS a freezer paper stencil T of Walt. And the kids have been wanting to make tie dye Ts. I've also always wanted to make my youngest a Slinky T. I should start thus weekend.
