That tool would be a pattern tracing wheel. one would put tracing paper in between the fabric pieces after they were cut out and then you would run the wheel over the pattern markings you wished to trace onto the fabric. I threw mine out when I discovered the disappearing ink marking pen!!!! The tracing paper marking NEVER seemed to come out and I disliked using tailor's chalk because the chalk would come off before I wanted it to!!LOL
any ideasI know you all are so talented--put those thinking caps on!
Everyday, I'm feeling better and better.I almost feel like the dancing banana...
Have you noticed that the tag fairy doesn't come to visit us on the sewing board?
This should be my tag....Would cruise naked if I had to...
Or how about " Eats dry cereal out of a coffee mug"
"Drinks Dr. Pepper for breakfast"
See, there is lots to know about a girl...LOL
I APPLIQUED!!
It's not great, but I'm going to post a picture anyway. This is the first time I've tried to applique. I was pretty pleased that it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I think it looked better before I tried to go around Nemo. Black thread would have looked better, too. But, it was a learning experience. The model is my incredibly sweet 1 year old son, Sawyer.
Yep, you are right! AliKat99 saw it on Disneyshopping.com and bought a set she thought it would be cute doing something with the Red Minnie Dot fabric combination. I brought the fabric home after a visit to FL and pulled out fabrics from my stash that were Mickey colors and it sort of took off from there.
OT - but still a sewing question...
Anyone know where I can get free patterns for doll clothes? Someone just gave DS a boy Cabbage Patch Kid, but he's nekkid!!!
He was really stinky (was from a smoking home...yuck) so I threw him in a pillowcase and washed him. So, he's much better to be around now. LOL But we need something for him to wear ASAP!!
The searches I did only yielded barbie/action figure patterns - and, obviously, those won't fit a CP Kid.
Thanks for any help you can give me!
I'll even make him a Disney outfit, IF I can find a pattern for pants and a top!
I remember they have expensive fabric though! I may have to have DH bring me there to check it out again!! I have it in Green as well, but I only got 1/2 a yard of each color, now the purple is gone
But I do like the way it turned out. When I go to that fabric shop I will let you know if I see it, but it has been so long ago!

I know this was quite a few pages back but I thought it was too funny!!
BTW, I've been waiting for the tag fairy to visit me since...what...1999?!?!?!
I did not see any Green mickey heads (What is the green head thing?)

Are you asking what's up with the green Mickey heads? I hope I didn't misinterpret your question. If I did, disregard my drawn out answer! The official color of the disboards is lime green. That's how we recognize each other at the parks. Home Depot has lime green (I think it's called alien green or something) Disney paint chip samples that are shaped like Mickey heads. People have been getting these, laminating them and wearing them somewhere on their person at the parks. If you see another Diser, you're supposed to do what Al Pacino is doing in Jen "Mickeyfan"'s signature, then point at the Diser you see. Great fun!

Thanks for clearing this up!!! I haven't been a member of the DISboards long, but knew there was something to know about lime green Mickey ears!
But what does Al Pacino have to do with it??

I guess Al Pacino doesn't have much to do with it.He does this thing in "Meet the Fockers" where he points to his eyes with his first and middle finger, then points with his pointer finger at someone. It was decided this was the official Diser greeting. I just love this place!
I've got a question, though. What is the "tag fairy"?
In honor of your question, I have updated my signature! Behold- the lime green Mickey head family.

The guy is actually Robert DeNiro
The tag fairy is someone that puts different color sayings under your DIS name. cute quotes, or something funny you may have said.
