Hers is a nickname too - her real name is Shannon Elizabeth.

I have pictures of my latest projects - these are some of the t shirts I was making for dh and me for our trip.







I still have more to do, but wanted to share some of the ones I've finished. Its been a learning process using my new machine and also trying to figure out my old one.

These are so so cute!

PurpleEars the world showcase is fabulous: I absolutely adore the hemline. I love the idea of sculpted hems: in fact...if I ever find where my husband has put the camera, I've got a specialty hem on a dress I made for one of my rescue dolls.

Those are great shirts.

Here are some of my recent projects:

First up, this is a continuation of my Minnie-inspired clothing using SisBoom patterns. This time, I decided to try the Marlo top. I modified it into a dress and added ties at the waist.





I put a Mickey applique on the front due to a serger mishap .

Next up, we have a dress made using the Diane Kimono dress pattern from Serendipity Studios.



Finally, version 2.0 of the World Showcase skirt. Some of you may remember the skort I made last year. As we will be there in December this year, I decided a long skirt is probably a better idea. I modified the reversible patel skirt pattern from YMCT to 12 patels and went from there.



Appliques on the front:


Appliques on the back:


Of course, the skirt doubles as a map for the World Showcase as the countries are arranged according to their locations.

Thanks for looking!

You are amazing! You make the cutest things. Great idea to cover an oops with an appliqué. I especially love the Epcot dress. Just beautiful!

Also, you mentioned legos. Do you and your DH get sets and put them together? I'm not very knowledgeable about them, but I just spent the better part of Saturday helping my DGD put together her very first lego set. 450 pieces and it turned out so cute! She played with it constantly once we put it all together. I can't wait to get her another one and put it together with her. She just turned 6, so there's lots of time to find lots more sets she'll love.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!! I'm excited to see the kids wearing them in the parks!!
Here's another set of bows I made for my girls today.

Lots more cuteness! You have skills my dear!

You are doing a great job with your new machine!! I love every one of the shirts you've done so far. Can't wait to see the rest.

I am drafting a letter to the owner of the company I bought the machine from, as well as Brother Corp. And the BBB. I feel like they have been terrible customer service every encounter and I have given them plenty of opportunity to make it right. I feel like I should get the highest level of service if I went in to buy a spool of thread or a $10,000 machine. (which, judging by the cost of 1 yard of fabric, the spool of thread and the machine might be similarly priced!)
I LOVED my PE770 from the day I got it until the day I got it back from them for a tuneup. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it, but we were going out of town and I could be without it for a couple weeks so figured it would be good to have it looked over. Well, that was NOT money well spent.

I did manage to get two shirts done today for a rush order from a repeat customer, and neither had grease on it, so maybe, hopefully, that whole situation has run its course. Of course the thread broke about 250 times, so it still isn't perfect, but I'll cope. I am sort of wishing though, that I have picked the Babylock which was similarly appointed at the expo instead of the brother, for sure. (And yes I know they are made by the same people...)

I'm glad you are writing letters. That should get some attention. Hopefully, someone will resolve your service problem. So glad you were able to do a couple of shirts without oil leaking on them.

Good morning all. Lovely to see the new creations. The bows are very cute. I started my crafting last year with bow making, it is a lot of fun to have matching bows for each outfit.

I also love the Epcot skirt (my favorite park anyways) and I think that the skirt doubling as a map is fab! We needed that on spring break doing the phineas and ferb quest lol

The tshirts are super cute as well and I just love Boo

I have a question I am hoping somebody can answer. I have sewn a few dresses for DD with glitter fabric and I am hoping not to lose the glitter in the wash. I washed the one dress that has been washed so far inside out but is there anything else I can do to protect the fabric?

And Tiana ( the princess and the frog)

Both are only $3.99 a yard. I do not know the quality but have ordered from Hancocks before. Wish I still had little ones to buy these for.

Thanks for the compliments and encouragement on the tshirts - they have been fun to do!

Just wanted to share that my oldest son loves legos and has asked for them for Christmas - he's 32! LOL When he got married he took all the legos we had here to his new house. I kept them around for when kids came to visit...

I looked at my Joann's for the Monster U fabric, but all they have is flannel. I might have to take a trip to the Joann's etc. to find it.

I did find some really cute Nemo fabric though. I want to make some shorts outfits for the grand nephews!

 

[mommy2AbIzEli]

I have an Izzy too but it's a nickname.

My Izzy is a knickname too. Her real name is Isabelle Grace.

Lots more cuteness! You have skills my dear!

And if course I had to make a Mickey wipes case to go in our blue wdw backpack I got for 5.99 @ goodwill couple months ago!!!

 

[Iamthequeen]

Very cute shirts! I sure hope I get my outfits finished soon, I have a pink leopard print Minnie head planned for DD and I. My husband has requested Safari Mickey, so I hope I can get to them.

And the important embroidery lesson I learned this week - when you stick your finger when pinning the shirt to the hoop - make sure you arent bleeding all over the last white toddler shirt you have on hand.

Loving everything that is being posted - now to go back to Pirate Mickey Shirt 5 of 10 for our Pirate and Pal cruise.

Happy Sewing Everyone!

Thanks I hope you can find the picture because I want to see your handiwork!

Thanks Lois. I felt pretty silly when I realized what I had done with the serger. Fortunately I was able to cover it up with the applique!

DH is the big Lego builder of the house. We buy sets and loose bricks (from the "Pick a brick" wall). You can see some of his work on his website http://www.bensbricks.ca/. He also has a map for maximizing the number of bricks in a large pick a brick cup on the website (which may be helpful for anyone planning on going to a Lego store).

I also love the Epcot skirt (my favorite park anyways) and I think that the skirt doubling as a map is fab! We needed that on spring break doing the phineas and ferb quest lol

I have a question I am hoping somebody can answer. I have sewn a few dresses for DD with glitter fabric and I am hoping not to lose the glitter in the wash. I washed the one dress that has been washed so far inside out but is there anything else I can do to protect the fabric?

Thanks. I have to say my favourite park is MK, but Epcot is where we like to eat (DH and I actually call it "Eatcot"). I don't have much experience with glitter fabric. I would turn it inside out and put it in a mesh bag before putting it in the wash. I probably won't put it in the dryer and just hang it up.

Just wanted to share that my oldest son loves legos and has asked for them for Christmas - he's 32! LOL When he got married he took all the legos we had here to his new house. I kept them around for when kids came to visit...

I have been giving DH Lego for his birthday, Christmas and our anniversary for a number of years now. The first digit of our age is a "3" so your son isn't the only grown up who wants Lego as gifts!

Here are the outfits my mom made the kids for Animal Kingdom.

The outfits and the bows are super cute! They are perfect for AK! I like the buttons used!

Looks like you are all set for your trip! I am sure your kids will have lots of sweet dreams with those pillowcases!

Great job on the shirts! They came out very cute!

Questions
How do you hoop your shirts? I'm just curious on different methods.

AND suggestions for a patchwork dress pattern? It's screaming Hoop Dee Doo!

AND I'm looking for some suggestions for Epcot customs, so far possibilities I have are world showcase, soaring, princess skirt and shirt, classic red/black/yellow Disney (but I may be using this dress at Magic Kingdom) or a fab 5 themed dress. Any other ideas?

Last year for epcot my kids wore their classic Mickey bowling shirts (red, black, yellow) but this year I'm going with Nemo. They love Nemo and the mine mine mine seagulls. But they're boys...

Purple ears: I love eatcot! I am going to share that with my family because that is what we do there too lol. Maybe I can get my mom to stop calling it epicot (like apricot) if I give her eatcot lol

I will skip the dryer because it does seem like it is a bit harsh for the fabric. It is not super glittery but it does add a little special something to the fabric. I had heard about hairs spraying glitter (like on Disney dresses) to prevent it falling off but it seems like that would just wash out.....
