Deann, TNMOM25 did us a fabulous set with Dumbo and Timothy!!!!!

Thanks to all of you, I finished this dress that I started last January!

It was for our February to trip to DW. Oops. Anyway...

Just a Simplicity pattern with Mickey fabric. And DD needed to find her sunglasses in order to take this pic.

Finished another dress in the same pattern with purple/pink florals. She was supposed to wear it when we went to Ohana. Again, oops.

And one with pooh fabric and some different trim. I haven't finished it yet because my bobbin thread ran out and that always makes me move on to something else. Don't know why. But I'll post a pic when it's done.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!!!! Who inspired me to get back to my sewing machine.

Very cute, I love that pattern and the fabric, and I never noticed it was upside down.

Hello everybody!

I remember you! Your new little guy is adorable! Thanks for sharing the photos, I love the pirate outfits the best I think.

Thanks, I just added the tag. I wasn't sure which one to use. It's too bad there wasn't a way one person could go in and consolidate some of the tags that are basically duplicates.
I did this applique - it's just a tee alone but it was fun to do Dumbo since he's a fairly simple color scheme. Doing the mouse (Timmy?) was a bit trickier.

That is so cute!

Just want to pop in again and tell everyone how wonderful the new stuff is.

Sorry I've been MIA. I had a friend pass away over the weekend and I've been pretty busy helping etc. This is the guy that we held the fund raiser for 10 days ago. On top of that I've started another round of Dr.'s appointments (about 7 appts. in 10 days) , so I'm a purrrrrrrty busy girl.

I promise after Weds. though that we will continue our journey. Thanks for your patience.

MISS YOU ALL!

Hi guys. I just wanted to pop in to ask for prayers for my family. I the course of 2 days we learned the DD's 89 year old grandmother is in the hospital with and infected gall bladder that need to be rmoved, his dad's prostate cancer is back and he will have to undergo radiation 5 times a week for 7 weeks, and my parents are considering a job for my dad which would send both of them to singapore or south africa for six months out of the year and Huston for another 3 so week would basically have them gone for 9 months out of the year. This will absolutely devistate DD who is their only grandchild. Please pray for us. I am on overload right now!

Wow ! hang in there that is alot to deal with at a time

Okay here is Jayedyn in her 1st day of school outfit. she is in the 2nd grade now and still loves her customs

and here is a close up of the fabric

and just because!

Jayedyn looks so pretty in her new outfit! back to school! And I have to say that Logan was really sweet and polite at my house the other day. (not that all your kids aren't, I just hadn't spent much time around Logan).

 

[LisaZoe]

Thanks Lisa! I really wish we could put the pictures into folders like we used to. It would make it a lot easier. Teresa spends a lot of time consolidating the tags on there. Every time someone adds a tag and spells something a little different, or they capialize differently, it adds a new category. It would be nice if there were a list of tags to choose from instead of having to create our own every time. Anyway, she's working on it. I'm not an administrator on the new photobucket account, so I can't help out with it like I used to.

Ack, that has to be a lot of work. I like having the tags because it allows things to be found in different ways but it would be nice to have a list to select from and not have to try to remember how existing tags are written. If I'm doing a lot, I have 2 browser windows so I can have the list viewable in one as I add tags in the other one.

BTW - you'd think the photobucket programming would be smart enough to ignore case. I can see if the words are different (head vs heads) or an & is used on one and the word "and" on the other but case shouldn't matter. That would be a big help.

Okay, I JUST now noticed that the fabric print is upside down. The big mickey heads are upside down!!! I thought it was random, but showing the picture to someone else, I noticed they all go the same way!

I never noticed until you mentioned. I think Stephres' suggestion that it is oriented for viewing by the wearer is exactly right. I'm sure unconsciously that's why you cut it that way.

Wow Lisa that is amazing! Is your t-shirt pile shrinking at all yet???

Not nearly as fast as I'd like but I have made a dent in the stash. As least now I can put the lid on the bin and not have to force it down to lock it in place.

I did figure out how to use my stabilizer...I just pinned it on the back. Boy did it ever make a difference. Oh yeah and guess what I did to hid all of those white fibers on the front of the other mickey head.....that's right....I used black fabric marker that way they are "black" till they fall out in the wash. Oh yeah and I followed your suggestion to put soft fusible interfacing on the inside so its not scratchy. Maybe now I will feel brave enough to try other t-shirts now and appliques. Thanks so much for your help! [/COLOR][/SIZE]

Good thinking about the marker. I really do recommend using the iron-on tear away stabilizer next time you need to buy it. Pins works but they are dangerous - at least for me.

Deann, TNMOM25 did us a fabulous set with Dumbo and Timothy!!!!!

That is cute! I especially love the peeking mouse on the skirt.

 

[minnie2]

And for some celebrating:
I may be getting a promotion at work! Find out tomorrow!
I finished all the buttonholes on DH's shirt!
And the mickey vinyl goes on sale at Hancocks on Thursday!

Now, off to work!

YEAH!

Okay here is Jayedyn in her 1st day of school outfit. she is in the 2nd grade now and still loves her customs

and here is a close up of the fabric

That is adorable! Mine is going into 3rd ad she loves it too!

I am pretty sure I got it at Joann's and would be happy to send you some of my leftovers. I was thinking of taking a trip to Joann's at lunch, I'll keep an eye out for you...since I wouldn't want hubby to get mad at you!

That would be WONDERFUL! I am headed to Hanckocks today. My mom wants me to make her a purse for her trip to Scotland.

She is so pretty! You did a great job on the outfit and I am happy to hear she still likes customs for school in second grade. Megan is entering first and she wanted a first day outfit and I was thinking, this will probably be the last one!

Jacob's hair is in the in-between stage too. It drives us moms crazy, doesn't it?



Yes! We are only thinking of the children, lol!

I think it depends on the kid. Nik has gone around telling people look what my mom made me! Love that girl esp considering my stuff is mediocre at best!

Deann, TNMOM25 did us a fabulous set with Dumbo and Timothy!!!!!

Really really adorable! I need to get the skirt pattern from YCMT!

 

[Clutterbug]

Wow, you ladies have been on a roll the last few days! I'm always amazed when I log on after a few days and find so many pages that I've missed!

I sold my first item! I made some shirts for our sitter's girls when they went to WDW in February and she asked me if I'd make an outfit for her nephew for his birthday. He turned 3 and is going to WDW in October. And yes, his name just happens to be Wyatt.

I have been busy working on my Big Give outfits for Robin+5's girls. Hopefully I can finish them tomorrow night.

I love it! How do you do an applique? Should a beginner even attempt it? Or should I bribe my sewing/smocking MIL to attempt it?

 

[snubie]

Do we have a "master" list of who is going in Feb? Could we create a thread on the disboutiquers message boards with everyone's travel plans? Might make it easier to plan.

The inlaws were here this weekend so I have to now go back and catch up.

 

[DumboPrincess]

Oh WOW! I want this! Was the skirt a pattern?

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Very cute, and I love the one that you posted earlier as well..Lily is too adorable!



I love that fabric, and the dress looks great!!!



Poor Timmy! Hope he feels better soon. Did they do an x-ray/mri? My dd fell on my ds's hand yesterday morning, and he is still complaining that it hurts, he woke up multiple times last night screaming. I took him in to the doctor and they took an x-ray but it showed no fracture, but I am really concern that there is something wrong since he hasn't used that hand since yesterday morning. He has another appointment tomorrow afternoon so I will discuss it with the pediatrician again.



Love it, and your dd is so adorable.





I love it!

He had an x-ray at the hospital on Friday then the x-rays were sent to an ortopedic (sp?) specialist yesterday, he said we could do an MRI if we wanted, but he could tell from the swelling and location that this was the problem. I took his word and after he explained what it was to me I had to agree with him because he was still hurting since last Wednesday. If yours is still hurting I would pressure your doctor, because the more I read about growth plate fractures, they have to be treated within 10 days I think.

 

[spongemommie05]

Did your kdis start school yesterday?

yea kinda... They were a lil too tired and cranky so they did not go .. so today was their first

Jayedyn looks so pretty in her new outfit! back to school! And I have to say that Logan was really sweet and polite at my house the other day. (not that all your kids aren't, I just hadn't spent much time around Logan).

he is my sensitive son,

 

[pixiedust_in_ak]

Thank you so much for the welcome back. I forgot how fast this thread moves!!!!!!!! The work you guys do still amazes me. Hopefully I can keep up and hopefully COB some of your ideas (do you guys still use that saying? or do I just look like a dork )

I remember you! I sent you mermaid swim diapers for your little boy, lol. I guess it was too cold to wear them though. Your pictures are great and congratulations on the littlest one.
?

We did get one night of swimming. It was nice for two days. The rest were some record cold weather. But they got used this summer! Thank you again!!

I do remember you and in fact I was going to ask about you the other day on this thread....must have been you thinking about joinin' in again!!!! (I don't remember if you recall that my parents lived in Kodiak and I went there to visit them while I was in college....Dad was a doctor for Coast Guard.) Glad you are back! ARe you in the lower 48 now??? So you certainly have had a busy spring but look how cute your little one is!! Love the vacation pics and hope you have fun planning your next adventure!

We are still in Alaska. Just moved from in town to on the Army post. I felt better being on Post while dh is gone. I never have actually gotten to Kodiak, but I've done the Kenai Penninsula - that's close to the island :lmao

Now off to wander the last few pages

Well, I didn't see any at Joann's. Sorry!

Of course, my big thing lately is that I am happy to be sewing again, AND I have to use up at least some of my stash. Well, of course, in order to use one of the fabrics that I have, I decided to make a quilt. And of course, I needed to buy coordinating fabrics. So, I'm back from Joann's having just spent about $40 on fabric and some other stuff. Oops.

I will definitely be praying for you guys. You have so much on your plate!

Okay, I JUST now noticed that the fabric print is upside down. The big mickey heads are upside down!!! I thought it was random, but showing the picture to someone else, I noticed they all go the same way!

Add me to the list of people who didn't notice. I made Sawyer some pajama pants with upside-down Mickeys on it once. On purpose, of course.

She looks gorgeous! I love her new outfit and I love the fact that she wanted you to make her something!

Oops, I messed up your picture. But, I wanted to say that I like his hair!

Deann, TNMOM25 did us a fabulous set with Dumbo and Timothy!!!!!

THAT'S IT!!! That's the set I was talking about! I love it!

Ack, that has to be a lot of work. I like having the tags because it allows things to be found in different ways but it would be nice to have a list to select from and not have to try to remember how existing tags are written.

Good thinking about the marker. I really do recommend using the iron-on tear away stabilizer next time you need to buy it. Pins works but they are dangerous - at least for me.

I do the same thing with the 2 browser windows.

Teresa has contacted photobucket about some of the issues with tagging, but I don't think they plan on changing it.

I think I'd be poking myself all the time if I pinned the stabilizer on! I poke myself enough when I'm pinning a pattern onto the fabric!

Nik has gone around telling people look what my mom made me! Love that girl esp considering my stuff is mediocre at best!

Don't sell yourself short! You have made some fabulous things!!!

Congratulations on the sale! The outfit is super-cute! Can't wait to see your Big Give outfit!

Do we have a "master" list of who is going in Feb? Could we create a thread on the disboutiquers message boards with everyone's travel plans? Might make it easier to plan.

The inlaws were here this weekend so I have to now go back and catch up.

I think Karen might be making a master list of who is going and when. I think it would be a great idea to start a thread over on Shannon's board! There, I just posted one. Here's the link:
http://disboutiquers.proboards106.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=chitchat&thread=312

Oh WOW! I want this! Was the skirt a pattern?

It looks like the peekaboo twirl skirt on ycmt.

okay so i have a few new things, i have been trying to applique a few things, and havent quite gotten the hang of it, but my kids are happy with them so thats okay by me.

APPLIQUE TUTORIAL:
I was alerted to the fact that my applique tutorial wasn't on 4shared.com anymore. So, I reuploaded it and Teresa fixed the link. So, if you're looking for an applique tutorial that is geared toward beginners, here is the link:

FEBRUARY DISMEET:
The link probably got buried in my multi-quote, but I started a new thread on Shannon's board about the February Dismeet. I don't have much info yet, but please go over there and add your name, dates, and any other info the list! Thanks for the idea, Snubie!

ETA: I fixed the dismeet link. Sorry about that!!
