You are all so very talented!! I wish I was able to do this!! I am checking to see if anyone sells outfits, if you can pm me that would be great, looking for a few for our upcoming trip.

Thanks!

Cute hat!!!


Glorib-I forgot to quote you, but I just wanted to say that that Jack Jack dress is just too cute.

Jham-I love the BIG GIVE pictures. How sweet that you got to meet the people that the gifts are for.

 

[Tinka_Belle]

Tonight we went to see family and DH's grandma and I got to talking about sewing. I told her that I was making all of Jenna's uniforms for school this year and she gave me three different types of navy blue fabric, and a large piece of red fabric. I was so happy, because I really was dreading having to buy all of that fabric. The thicker fabric (like for pants) can be a little pricey. The red fabric that she gave me is kind of heavy so I'm going to make Jenna a winter shirt. I'll post pics of everything as I finish them. Her uniforms are my project for next week.

 

[LisaZoe]

Whew! I got the quilt done. I'm going to toss it in to wash & dry so the cotton batting does it's slight shrinking - I like to do that before giving the gift so it's not a shock. Here it is before the wash:

I like it more now that it's done but there are things I'd do differently if I did it again.

BTW - It's not as misshapen as it looks in the photo. LOL I can never get my quilts to come out perfectly but it's closer to a straight rectangle than it looks.

 

[minnie2]

Here's the Car's hat I made my DD(5) Emma. It is a size XL and is a teeny tiny bit big but I don't mind. It fits my DS(7) perfectly and while my DD(9) can get it on it doesn't provide enough sun cover in my mind so I'll try to enlarge the pattern for her. Emma tried it on when I didn't have the lining in it yet and I asked her if she liked it and she said "kind of". She's not crazy about polka dots. She was asleep when I finished last ngiht so she put it one all finished this morning with HUGE smiles and didn't say anything about the polka dots or the flowers on the inside.

That came out great! Wow your phone takes a great picture!

This is my first and last patchwork twirl skirt. I had a lot of problems making this skirt.

I like the way it looks. I just did not like making it.

Why it came out so cute!!!!!!! I adore these skirts and believe it or not I love making them. Yes they are a pain in the butt BUT once I see them come together I love them. Fr me to make it not so tedious I do it in bits in between other projects. One day I will cut out all the sqs or even just the sqs from one fabric. The next day maybe I will zig zag the edges while watching tv of one color fabric etc...
IT came out adorable!

I remember not long ago several people were discussing unfinished projects. We talked about having things we'd started and then lost "steam" when it came to getting them finished. Well, I'm trying to get my unfinished objects (aka UFOs) finished finally! Here's one that was all but done back in February!!! All I had left to do was add the ruffle on the top and secure the straps in the back. I just never got to it I think because the top didn't come out like I'd planned so I lost interest.

I know it's kind of late for a set like this but at least it's done. I also finally did some of the finishing for the Snow White dress - I closed the lining and finished the hem on the bottom ruffle. I still don't know what buttons to use so I'd love to get suggestions. I though about getting apple shaped buttons but haven't found any so I might just go with my standby option - fabric covered buttons.

Lisa your stuff always takes my breath away! I love them both but that yellow one OMG it is perfect!

Here are the outfits that I finished for Robin+5's girls. They both love Eeyore and have and ADR for Crystal Palace. Sorry for the bad pictures, it's been dark and rainy here the last few evenings.

Both

Katelyn's

Morgan's

So cute! the colors are so bright and fun!

Here is my random picture of the day. Megan has been extra helpful lately so I took her to pick out her own beta fish today. Of course she got the pink one! His name is Sunny. I do not like how the bamboo sticks out of the bowl, any suggestions?

I was looking at some old pictures and thought her hair looked cute shorter so we chopped it off. She loves it!

I did not get to the hat and I had to mail it out today. I am a little sad that I couldn't get it done in time but I hope they'll be happy anyway!

The shorts I made by sewing a line of 4x4 squares together. Then I serged and topstitched. Then I attached the lines and serged and topstitched. When I had a piece big enough, I cut out the pattern pieces. HTH!

Megan's hair looks so pretty on her. Her dress/shirt is really cute too No clue about the bamboo other then cut it? No idea if bamboo is easy to cut...

I haven't shared much lately, things have been busy here

Gabi just turned three and we had a princess birthday party for her and her friends brought her a My Disney Girl doll from the park

All the girls got makeovers

I can't find a pic of them right now, but each girl got an embroidered ballet backpack with their name on it for their goodie bag

Our trip to DW is in September from the 7th-14th and we're all getting really excited. We even started our countdown chain today

Anyhow, here's what I just finished for Gabi:

It's a travel pillow, it has Dora fabric on the other side with a handle to carry it with. I found something like it on Etsy and CASED it.

The teensy bit of her pants that you can see are Carla's Easy Fit Pants from YCMT

I am so proud of this bowling shirt, my last attempt at a collared shirt was awful and this pattern was amazingly easy, thanks Carla

What a fun idea! cute pix!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

I met another Disser yesterday at work! AmberGreenawalt came into our store! She is one of the families going on a MAW trip! I believe we are doing her family in the upcoming months! She is so sweet and her little ones are adorable! She was there buying stuff to send for pixie dust to other MAW families! It is so cool to work where I get to meet so many people from this board!

 

[minnie2]

Wow your girl is growing up too! She looks so pretty in those pictures! Love the bucket hat, I'll be buying that pattern eventually.

Here is a photo of the doll outfit I made in a super hurry last night so it's not too exciting. I made it for DD's friend to match this skirt I made her:

yes, Kit is having a bad hair day. BTW DD's friend I made this for looks exactly like Kit, only her hair is a little darker.

I love both of them! That is another skirt in my wish list on ycmt!

I am finished my Big Give #6 [Nicoledisneyfan] SeaWorld Custom for Victor. At first I tried to wing the pants and made them about 3 sizes to small, so I used the sewsensible Tween boutique pant pattern, since it was the only one I had handy.

He is going to love that!

Yay! I got my camera battery charged. Here are some pictures from our big give meet we had today! I just want to let you all know it was so great so see the kids in person and watch their reactions and see them playing with and looking at everything. I wish you all could have the chance to experience it! The kids were so sweet. Karlyn is adorable. She just got that little stuffed black doggie at her last trip to the hospital and she was so cute with it. She was looking at all the pictures I took on my camera and was pointing out her doggie every time she saw him. Bigdisgrandma and Bigdismom and the whole family were great. My kids made themselves right at home Good thing Denise is a grandma, she took it all in stride. Oh, and she has an AMAZING Disney snowglobe collection!!! I'm SO jealous!

We had a little meltdown when Lily realized she didn't have any presents to open (she knows her birthday is coming up soon, I think she was confused) and Luke got a little upset when he realized that because he left the room HE DIDN'T GET TO HAND KARLYN HER PRESENT!!! Goodness! Okay, on with the pictures:

(Jayden was at a birthday party and Luke was in the other room)

Eating cupcakes (Lily's face may be messy, but she kept her Tink outfit clean!)

Lily and Karlyn:

Lot's more pictures (including twirling) on bigdisgrandma's PTR:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1868674&page=9

Looks like a great visit. How fun you got to actually hand the stuff to them! They look so happy!

There have been so many cool things posted lately!!!!!

I have a few things that are ready for pictures, but it seems that I can either make time to sew or time to post pictures, but never both! I'll try to make time soon.

All of these beautiful applique'd things that have been posted have been making me want to get better at that. I hate that I am too lazy and impatient to sit down for a couple of days and work on it. I seem to have trouble turning tight corners. Any tips from the pros!?!?!?!?!?

Well, I just wanted to let you guys know that I will be gone for a few days. I have been overwhelmed with kindness and concern for Riley, and I didn't want anyone to think that she had gotten sick or anything.

My sister is taking Drew for the week. (It's her turn! I had her dd7 for a week a couple back and she owes me!!!!!) So we are going to meet them at the lake to make the drop off. Riley and I decided to stay for a few days while the cabin is empty and have some peace and quiet time. We are going to read, and float in the lake and maybe take the seadoos out for some rides! We are also going to do some back to school shopping at the outlet mall and maybe go to the waterslides one day. I am really looking forward to it. I haven't been able to let Riley get in the lake water this summer because it is just not a good mix with all of her infections, but she recently went on daily antibiotics that I am hoping will protect her from all of those nasty germs.

We may go by my mom and dad's at their lake on the way home so Riley can go tubing for the first and probably only time this summer. It's been such a bummer not letting her do it, so we are really excited. I know some of you often get to go fancy schmancy places like the beach or Disney or even the mountains, but when you live in the midwest, Hillbilly land is about the fanciest place you can get in just a couple of hours! It is seriously the toothless capitol of the world. But we love it!!!!

I hope the antibiotic daily help her.
Sounds like a fun trip you have planned with Riley. Enjoy!

Denise- You ARE a Genius!! Repositionable glue- I never thought of that either!!!

Lisa- All your shirts are great. I saw Pink polos in the walmart clearance for $2 and thought of you! And Minnie was my favorite too! But Belle and Alice werea avery close second!

My siblings & cousins are throwing a big party for our dads tomorrow (today) one is 50 and one is 60. We've been planning for months and to the best of my knowledge it is still a secret. Although many people have tried to ruin our surprise. One of their cousins sent them birthday cards this week My dads BD was about 2 months ago and my uncles is in 2 months so we split the difference and decided to do the party together in between their BDs. We are so excited that we have pulled this secret off for so long!! We even tie dyed shirts this week for all the kids and grandkids to wear. I better get to bed it's going to be a LONG day!!

I hope the party was a huge success! What a sweet thing to do.

I can't believe George and I waited on line at the Apple store for 2 hours yesterday for a darn Iphone! Yup we are crazy! I also can't believe how good the kids were the whole time. George ahs been itching for one since the 1st one came out but he never made the jump because they were soooo$$$. Then when they dropped the price he wanted it even more. We both hated our razors and frankly even though I didn't really care aout having one( at 1st ) there was no way he was going to have this cool new phone when he barely uses his reg phone. So we broke down and bought 2! I am a convert I LOVE mine!

Does any one else get crazy when their sewing machine jams up. It drives me nuts! Am I the only one this happens too? Maybe am I doing something wrong?

Oh no you are not alone. Mine jams up and I think that I am going to lose my mind if it doesn't start cooperating. Also get scared that it is broken when it jams up too.

LisaZoe-that quilt is just too cute. I love those fabrics that you use.

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

yes, Kit is having a bad hair day. BTW DD's friend I made this for looks exactly like Kit, only her hair is a little darker.

And here are some pics of the stuff I took to Bigdisgrandma's family today:

Kit's dress is adorable. I love the Big Give pictures. The stuff you made is so cute. I love the autograph books with their names and the characters. Someone's Cricut was busy

I am finished my Big Give #6 [Nicoledisneyfan] SeaWorld Custom for Victor. At first I tried to wing the pants and made them about 3 sizes to small, so I used the sewsensible Tween boutique pant pattern, since it was the only one I had handy.

That is so cool I bet he will love it!

Hey all! Happy Friday! I finally finished up Baby Jack Jack! I don't have a model at the moment - she's asleep!

Here's the front -

and the back -

It's sort of a case of LisaZoe's Snow White dress - thanks Lisa for the inspiration!

Tonight, I'm working on underwear! Yes, underwear! From this website: http://darnkat.wordpress.com/2008/07/23/check-it-out/

It's That*Darn*Kat's (of roundneck top fame) pattern and I just think they look so cute! So, I caved and bought the pattern and am going to try it out tonight!

Jack Jack! What a great idea. He turned out so cute!

Wow it sounds like a lot of fun to me! I hope Riley has good results with the daily antibiotics. My DD had several infections when she was younger and we had good luck with drinking Cranberry Juice. The Northland brand is very good because it has no corn syrup. It makes the urine more acidic and the bacteria can't grow.

FABULOUS as usual!!! So cute!!! I remember when hats with the brim rolled up in front were THE thing...very Blossom...oh my gosh does anyone remember that show?! I was sooo little when it was on but I remember Blossom's hats and her overall shorts!



I LOVE that fabric!!! Super cute!!



The ruffles are TO DIE FOR!!! I love ruffles. They are just too adorable. I would wear ruffles every day...but they are not very conducive to social work...

yes i loved blossom and her brother, oh and her crazy friend six. i admit it i used to wear those shortalls too.

I think I have found them at Michaels, pretty sure actually. I usually find them near the beading/jewelery making stuff.

I couldn't find the french barrettes either, so I got these clips from the dollar store. They worked well because I didn't have to take the sequins off the attach the bow.

thank you everyone i am heading to michaels and the dollar store today fingers crossed my son had me add this icon for you and wants me to finish his pirate stuff so he can have his pic here again

 

[SallyfromDE]

Thanks Bernadette for posting the bucket hat pattern. I just HAD to get it. Leighanna loves to wear hats now. She has sadly outgrown the bows and pigtails.

Anyway, here are a few photos of my finished one. I use all scraps that I had in my scrap bucket. I think I will do a couple of things different the next time I make it. Definitely use the paper piecing technique that is in the pattern. I tried it the other way and it turned out all wopperjawed or cattywhampus! That ended up back in the scrap bucket!

Showing it with the brim rolled up and looking silly with the hat inside out!

Turned right side out:

I was just wondering when you'd have something new for us. This hat looks great. Kirsta would wear one, but Lou won't.

I am finished my Big Give #6 [Nicoledisneyfan] SeaWorld Custom for Victor. At first I tried to wing the pants and made them about 3 sizes to small, so I used the sewsensible Tween boutique pant pattern, since it was the only one I had handy.

Hey everyone, today is Wishtripper Karlyn's 8th birthday, if you have time could you send some pixie dust by going over to her grandma's PTR and wishing her a happy birthday? Thanks! Here's the link:

Wow - that's a gorgeous quilt! I keep thinking to myself that I should learn to quilt. I have a bunch of old sorority t-shirts that I can't throw away that I'd like to make into a quilt.

I need your opinion everyone. I posted this outfit a few days ago but now I am considering adding an applique. Since I successfully did one for another outfit I figure I could rip out a side seam and put a mickey head on this. What do you think? Should I chance messing it up? Or leave it as is? Thanks!

Wow Lisa I just love it....you did a great job!!! I am sure it will be a wonderful gift for your friend!
I keep eyeing up the quilt kits on my favorite website (fatquartershop.com). They have these little ones (27 inches by 36" or so)...I thought it would make a good starting point. But what would you do with a mini quilt?????

I love it as it is but an applique would really make it cute too! Do you think you could seam rip it ok? Make sure you use stablizer. Best stuff I ever spent my money on!








One month till I am officially back in school I am really not ready yet but somehow by the end of the month I get around to it
I bought some Debbie Mum back-to-school fabric. It was on sale I combined a Simply Sweet top and Carla's stripwork skirt into one dress. I still have to make another one for my other DD. Oh and DD insisted on the Cindy tiara today so there you go

The Megan

The Devon

The back

Twirling by the sunflower

And a final closeup! I take way too many pics!

Oops, I had this all typed up this morning and forgot to hit submit!

OK, one pair of undies down!

Oh, and Heather, I got that swirly red fabric at Jo-Ann.

First of all, that's a really funny sentence!

Thanks for the info on the red fabric!

My siblings & cousins are throwing a big party for our dads tomorrow (today) one is 50 and one is 60. We've been planning for months and to the best of my knowledge it is still a secret.

That sounds great! You're such a good daughter! I hope you're having fun!!

The fabrics you used are so unusual for a quilt. I love it!!! I'm sure they will, too!

I think it would be adorable with a Mickey head, as long as you can rip out the seam without hurting anything!

Nope, we can never get too many pictures of your little cuties!! I love "The Devon" VERY fancy!

That outfit is absolutely adorable! I love the little crayons you put on it, the apple with her name, and the fabric is fantastic! Great job!

You could use a mini quilt as a wall hanging!

 

[sahm1000]

I haven't commented in a while, just been to busy! My parents are here to drive me nuts and see Lilly and then my in-laws come at the end of the week to do the same !

I finished Claire's back to school dress but I am still working on Grace's. I get real excited to do the first one and then my momentum kind of tapers when I get to the second one. I need to get them done so I can concentrate on my Disney clothes for our upcoming trip.

I finally got the cd with the pictures of our family from the photographer. They turned out so well so I will post them in a little bit!

Great work on everything I've seen lately! It's all beautiful!
