tnmom25;21444616]I looked on the YCMT website and can't find those.. What are they called?

go to crochet/knitting and about 2/3 of the way down the page you will see a gril in black with Dis green cuffs and the pattern is called Chrocheted Fun Fur Cuffs.

Gooosfraba!!!! It will all work out in the end and we are here for you to vent!!!

I don't know what that means but it made me laugh!

Goosfraba is from the movie Anger Management. I'm sure I didn't spell it right, but that's what I say when I want to calm someone down by making them laugh around here!

OK, I was at the mental image of Captain Jack (the real one as played by Johnny Depp) in a tutu. He could SOOOOO pull it off and make it look hot.

Now I would actually pay to see him in a tutu. The man is hot hot hot. Don't tell my husband thats why i go to the movies with him.

Ok I just have to tell you gals- my husband just offered to help me sew the applique mickey heads cause I said I was scared to & had to practice first and thought I might just puffy paint seal them. He does not usually get into my crafty stuff- He is a car guy and is a welder by profession so it was totally unexpected- not to say that guys who are interested in those things can't be interested in sewing, it is just very unexpected from him- hope that makes sense. He said he used to be really good at sewing- Not sure when that was, but I guess I can see where he might have picked it up- He grew up with 4 sisters and a brother that is 8 years younger than him. I told him about "our" tom and showed him a couple of his customs. Now as I am typing I am wondering if I will be having competetion for the sewing machine - Doubt it, but it was so sweet for him to offer to help me out. We'll see how my practicing goes......I might just have to take him up on it We have 8 days to take off One Row left on the mickey head countdown!!!!! I think I'll be finding it hard to sleep from here on out with all the excitement and list making and to do's rolling around in my brain.........How will I make it through I'll be exhausted by the time we actually get there Alright I better try to get some sleep, I swear the kids know when I stay up late and then they get up an hour early the next morning just to teach me a lesson
I'm also considering a PTR and wondering if it is too late to start with only 8 days before the trip- what do you all think- I have already been taking pictures of stuff I have bought and the clothes we have made. Oh and I have another OT question- Do I need to reconfirm my ADR's I was reading in a book to reconfirm all reservations 1 week prior to the trip, Does everyone do this- is it necessary to make all the phone calls and the waiting on hold, we did use a TA so do I just need to call her??? Not sure what to do. Sorry for the long post- just so much going on in my head. TIA for all your help!!

There is a FREE crochet flower pattern on ycmt.com! You should check it out!

Sorry I haven't had the time to write up the headband pattern but the "daisy" flower pattern is available in my eBay store.

You should learn to crochet--it is very relaxing!

I have a question for those of you that sew for others. How do you decide what to charge for your items? It seems that there is a pretty broad spectrum of pricing going on. I don't want to lose money (obviously), and I don't want to price my stuff out of range either. Is there a general formula that you use to determine what is a reasonable price? If you don't feel comfortable posting the answer here, would you please PM me? Thanks!

I'll let you in on how I do it. I use the time it takes me to make an item x an hourly rate. Then I add on any selling fees and the materials. I don't mark those up. Shipping is actual shipping, so any packing supplies, cards, labels, etc have to be part of the materials. On crocheted items I make much less than on sewn items--maybe $5/hour, just because I'd never sell any of it if I charged higher. Hope that helps.

One thing: I WANT THOSE FUR CUFFS! WHOEVER IS SELLING THEM I WANT THEM!!!! So please PM me or something because I just have to have some!!!! Hopefully, now that I can slow down a tiny bit, I will be able to keep up with everyone!

If you go to lionbrand's website and register so you can get free patterns, there is a very easy way of making those fur cuffs. You basically use a hair elastic and do triple crochets with a chain in between until it is full.

Hey, I know you!

I do custom overalls, pjs & Tees for my little Princes (along with lots of other sewing projects). Curious how others work with appliques on the bibs of overalls? Do you tend to buy without pockets, rip out the pockets, or sew fabric over the pockets? I've done all of the above!!

I buy the overalls and carefully take off the pocket. I try to do the appliqués on the fabric first then attach the fabric to the bib. I'm not crazy over doing overalls-I've done a few though.

Why does everything have to go wrong right before a vacation? Like we're not stressed enough! I'm so glad you thought to check on your resort. I'd be sending RCI an email and not a very nice one at that!

I'm the kind of person where almost everything goes wrong too. I'm sitting here with a terrible cold and we leave in 2 days...My Mum is also sick and has missed 2 days of work, and she is supposed to go with us. The poor thing even dragged herself out of bed to go and buy a costume for MNSSHP. I don't even know if we will be going now...I can't see wearing a heavy hot costume with a fever..yuck....

So you made that fantastic headband! And I was just thinking last night I need to start crocheting! I actually crocheted an afghan in 8th grade home ec MANY years ago. Another hobby to add to my list of scrapbooking, hairbow making, sewing, and now crocheting! Wow, I better get busy! Thank you for all you help and information.

LisaZoe"OK, I was at the mental image of Captain Jack (the real one as played by Johnny Depp) in a tutu. He could SOOOOO pull it off and make it look hot."!!! Johnny Depp could pull the tutu look off, that's for sure!

Since I still can't post links or photos I can't really show what I mean. However, on the Creative DISigns boards, M_I_C_K_E_Y Designs (aka amymickey) has a design with a Mickey head silhouette, with a pink pirate scarf on the head, then a tiara on top of it & an eye patch!! It rocks!

I want to make an outfit for my niece who's in 12 - 18 mos. I just don't want to do a T Shirt, something cuter...like an applique.

Hope I explained myself okay

That sounds cute! Could you print out the design, blow it up to the size you need, and then use it as a pattern?

Hi - here is my try at a turkey twirl top - my ruffle isnt very ruffly though! i'll never figure out how to make that ruffler predictable!!! i've even watched that tutorial thing!!! AHHHHHH, anyway - now i have to find a pair of jeans in

18 mos size that isnt already decorated so i can try a turkey applique!!!

Looking good!! Can't wait t see the rest. try Children's place for jeans! I love how they fit when mw DD was tht age.

Here is my latest twirl skirt. This is from the sock monkey fabric. My mom *forced* me to go to the quilt fabric shop. They have "charm packs" where the fabric is already cut into 5x5 squares so that made this a little easier, plus the better fabric is so much nicer to sew with.

I love it. Did you use a pattern from YCMT? I'd like to give it a try.

LOVE the fur cuffs. My sister told me about those (she has a friend . . .) Anyone willing to sell - send me a PM. I'm in the market . . .

Okay. This is what I have been working on lately. I have not been diligent. And I have a bunch of stuff to make. BUT. I thought it turned out well. I love the colors together.

Close-up of my first applique. This was easier than I thought!

And. Just because - pics of my kids. I made the Peter Pan outfit for my son for our trip in December. Some wise people once told me that so few people dress boys up for the parks, that it makes the ones that do REALLY stand out. We're going to try it. The Tink is obviously a Disney store buy.
