Hi everyone, I have been a total disboard lurker for a while now. I found the boards a few days before my
Disney cruise in February, then later started checking out some trip reports. Just gotta say, love ya Utah Mama! Your trip reports rock! I too am a Utah mama of 4 and live off of Diet Pepsi. I just want to say I love everyone's work and you have all inspired me to start sewing again after 8 years of nothing other than edging the occasional baby quilt. I've never been much of a seamstress, but I'm starting off easy. Since finding this thread I've made 5 pairs of kids jammies, a skirt for DD10 and Minnie dot outfits with appliqued mickey heads for DD10, DD2, and DN1. I was pretty scared to applique but they turned out okay. Oh and I also made myself a puffy sleeved pirate shirt for Halloweeen. I figured I needed to get posting so I can eventually add photos! (assuming I can figure out how to do that). I'm hoping to attempt a patchwork twirl skirt, but I'm a little afraid to go "pattern free". You all have posted some great instructions though. Thanks! My sister (can't think of the shorthand for that at the moment, told ya I was new at this!) is going to Disney World for Thanksgiving and since I'd been there once before years ago, she kept asking me things about it. I started getting so jealous I ended up talking DH into a trip in January. I told the kids that instead of asking Santa for a bunch of toys this year we are going to ask him for a big surpise family gift, so for the moment I am a KOTS so I'm venting my pent up excitement in sewing. Since we are making a brief journey to
Disneyland in a few weeks, the kids don't even think to ask why I'm so Disney crazy lately. It might get a little harder to explain my insanity in November and December!
