I'm saying! I think I have a pretty free calendar till we go to WDW...though, just saying that reminds me of a couple of appointments I have to schedule. Sigh.

I had to come and post my 2nd trip bag - which I just finished yesterday... I've been hard at work all this week trying to make some headway - and I am thrilled to be "ahead" of schedule... I had made a Jiminy Cricket UPB set for an auction a few months ago - and I just fell in love with it - so much so that Jiminy has quickly become a favorite of mine, so I MUST have a bag with this theme. I kept the same color scheme, but changed it up as much as possible to make it different - and I put a different applique on it.

Applique detail:

Ruffle/zipper detail:

I am super happy with how this interior turned out. Literally - I had NO interior fabric in mind for this bag... I just sat down in front of my stash and tried to find something that would "work"... At first - I was really unsure about this fabric, but once I added the turquoise accents to it (zipper and bias trim), it made the turquoise in the fabric pop - and I was thrilled with my choice. The interior fabric is super rare and HTF... It was only printed in very limited quantities and only available in one online store and from the designer herself... I had purchased a teensy little bit of it a couple of years ago - and I've been hoarding it ever since. I am super happy that I decided to use it on one of my park bags. So, even though it doesn't exactly say "Jiminy" - it says "fun" IMO - and that's what matters. LOL

What pattern do you use to make your bags? I love the look, but I don't think I could ever get close to all the detail you put in yours.

Really Really QUICK "HI" and I'm just quoting a few pics (going backwards):

Ooh I love the placemats Cheryl.

I know I don't comment often but I do read everyday. I am not sure I ever posted a picture of Sami here but today she is 2 months old.

Here is her picture from this morning

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!!!

Anyways... Thanks so much for letting me share! I hope you all are having a nice weekend!

Super cute and I love the interior fabric.

A while ago I mentioned what fun I had making placemats. I started out with one for me and one for my husband, and then my senior son moved home for a month before relocating to California. I made one for him and his girlfriend, and then decided I'd better make one for my junior son (who lives in California but will be moving back to New York next week), and while I was at it made one for his possible-in-the-future girlfriend.

I forced byself not to make them perfect (it wasn't very hard) so I'd actually use them. I figured the less perfect they were the more apt I would be to use and wash them.

Initially I was going to just use Disney fabrics, but I don't wash my fabric as soon as I get it so most of my Disney fabric is unwashed. Instead I decided to use any scraps. It's surprising how many pieces of fabric it takes, but it's a good way to use up strips. The placemats are reversible and machine quilted using one of the built-in decorative stitches.




One big happy family

A great project for someone who wants to get to know their sewing machine (and iron ).

I know we all love Photobucket. I hope the photos aren't as giant as they appear in the preview.

Those are sooooo cool! You always amaze me with your creativity!

2 more customs done, so that's what.... 5 done and 15 to go? Ya it's so not happening! lol I won't have anything for me done and I also am doing 5 simple mickey head shirts for a friend.

We leave for Florida in 2 weeks.

I did the appliques, but my mom pieced and sewed together.
The first is V's Disney Treat Dress and the second is a Drizella cutie shirt and inspired skirt set to be worn at magic Kingdom (probably for an hour at the most -overkill I know!)

Wow!!! Amazing and so glad to see all the use you are getting from your machine

Ok so here is a question:

On our second MK Day we are going to get up at the crack of dawn and go over super duper early to MK to try and get picked for family of the day. If we don't we'll just head over to the contemporary or ride the monorail to waste time. V wants to try for family of the day again, she thinks it's cool. I'm skeptical. This will only work assuming we have an earlier night which we should the night before.

I can't decide what V should wear.... should it be her classic dress or her Treat Dress?




Part of me thinks classic, because well..... but then I think the treat is cute and not as "in your face" We are doing the family magic tour that day and I think either would be fine for her to run around in.

thoughts?

CLASSIC all the way!

I am going to try to sew a skirt for dd soon -- I just bought her a t on line and have the perfect fabric for a skirt. I did applique two shirts prior to our vaca. I don't start PT until Aug 27 (hopefully the cost savings on lack of therapists will not mean they'll have to pay for my surgery that results due to very delayed PT -- gotta love Military health care!).

See ya soon I hope!

She makes her own patterns!

I would never take close-ups like that of my bags well I would if mine were as perfect as D's

But there was a similar one that someone sells, if I recall correctly.

You are right - the UPB is my own pattern. However - the one that Stephanie posted a few days ago is very similar... I've never done that one - so I don't know exactly what the differences are - I know the size is similar since I saw Nicole's last summer in Charlotte... but I think some of the construction is different? In the end - you end up with a very similar bag though.

Hi Andrea - it's great to see you. I hope you are feeling better soon - sounds like things have been rough?

Happy Thursday!

 

[DMGeurts]

Another little bit of fun-ness for our upcoming trip... V wanted an autograph pillowcase... Thanks to a bit of help from Chiara - we were able to figure it out. I am still learning this borrowed embroidery machine... So, the words are not perfect - but I am learning more and more each time I use it... The problem is - I don't really use it often enough.

Some of you know me on FB, but for those who don't, I thought I'd share my project I finished this morning.
It's for my ds12 for our upcoming trip. His request.
Hand appliqued and truly a labor of love.
(and makes doing basic Mickey Heads seem MUCH easier. LOL)
Considering I had never appliqued before March of this year, I feel pretty good about it!

More Customs

For Epcot


Someone made a similar dress a few years ago, I cased it. I did the appliques and my mom put them together.

Animal Kingdom
I bought the skirt and made the shirt. I am totally wsnting to redo the shirt. it's too short! but oh well, no time.



Dress for the dessert Party
I did the appliquees, my mom put it together. We have to redo the bodice when we get back. This dress was inspired by some other wishes themed dresses posted here and FB launches.


Loree helped with the appliquees!

I did see this posted but not sure I got a chance to comment. You did an amazing job on this. So much sewing for hand applique. I hope your son loves it.

Hi Andrea. I hope your PT goes well once you finally get started.

The TT outfit is really cute and I love the little Mickey head on her shorts. The AK skirt and shirt are a perfect match. The shirt is fine, maybe make a new (dare I say) non-Disney themed shirt when you get back so she can get some more use out of that cute skirt. The Wishes dress is perfect. I was figuring you were making the treats dress for that party but this dress is PERFECT.

Thanks everyone!
He does love it, but he doesn't understand it's "special-ness" aka how hard it was to do, because he thinks I can sew anything. LOL

Hello, I am new here and not a sewer, but I have a question for all of you who are. My DD6 desperately wants to be Ariel for her appt. at the BBB. However she does not want an Ariel dress - she wants to look just like a mermaid. She wants the green tail, tight down to her feet, her feet not showing, and a purple bikini top. I have been looking at Etsy and have found 1 or 2 things that might work. Some issues are that she needs to be able to walk in it obviously (so it has to have some flare/openness at the bottom), and I am not big on her wearing just a bikini top, so we will probably layer it over a tank or leotard. Any other ideas on where I might find something? Any of you ever make this? I am not sure if I am allowed to ask if you all have online shops or take sewing requests. Thanks!
