MYTWOTINKS!!!! How the hell are ya!! What have you been up to??

 

[CheleLynn2]

I recognize that Minnie, it's a scrapbooking sticker huh? I used a Donald on a pair of overalls and have Mickey & Minnie also. Target is my favorite too!

Your outfits looks cute! Is that for you or your dd?

yep it's a scrapbook sticker. First I tried to use the Heat N Bond Lite on it but because of the sticker stuff on it it didn't work. So I just used the E6000 glue on and it seems to have stuck.

I would soooooo love an outfit like that, but that little minnie sticker would get lost on what I read you guys call "pooh" size body. But it is for my DD8. She liked it when it was all laid out, let's see when she gets home from school to try it on.

And how did you get my pic to be so small?? I really have no idea how to make it smaller so I can post another pic, I hate to take up so much room.

Well back to my skirt........I have to gather up the last layer and get it sewed on the rest of the skirt. I will be back later with an update.

Hi!! Just In case I decide to TRY and Make some outfits. Where do you all buy your fabric?? Hobby Lobby only has 6 or 7 kinds with Disney only 2 with Princesses?? And where do you all get the Mickey outline to sew on?? Do you just cut it out??

Also which sewing machine should I get like I said Ive never touched one??

Thanks,
Melanie

Only 107 DAYS TILL DISNEY!!!!!!!!!!

There are lots of sources for fabric... Hobby Lobby, Hancocks, Joann, Walmart, Quilt shops... to name a few. I would start with $1/yd fabric from Walmart just until you get the hang of what you're doing. The first pillowcase dresses I made by hand, no machine! Oh I had one, but it had so much dust on it that I had to have it cleaned and oiled before I could even use it. Then I had to have someone come and teach me how!

For my Mickeys, I just use bowls, cups, spools, whatever I have on had that is the size I need. I've made several templates so I have lots of different sizes now.

Can't help with the machine part, mine is very old and I'm still waiting for it to break down so I can buy a new one!

And the winner is....The Texas Sun!!!

I thought E6000 was supposed to hold great! Well, it worked for a little while. I had made one of the diaper/wipe holders and got lazy using E6000 for the velcro instead of sewing. I left the holder in the car overnight and got it this afternoon. The velcro slid right off...yes, slid off!!! Oh well!

Also wanted to say Thank you to Susan for sharing her story with us! You are truly blessed and so are we to know you!

DH is going to play poker with my brothers tonight so that leaves me free to sew after I get dd to bed!!! Hopefully, I'll get far enough to be able to post some pics soon!!

How old is your oldest? He looks like he's in at least 10th grade to me. You poor mommy!

I would LOVE some taffy!! Are you serious!?!! Yes, my Grandma was pretty horrible to my mother (but not her 4 siblings). Now my grandma lives with my mom so my mom can take care of her. How twisted is that?

Oldest is 15 but in 9th grade (we held him back due to July b day) Those "older women" better stay away from my babY!!!

Yes i am serious about the taffy! I just need to go get it!

Michele,
Here are my overalls, (I know not Disney but oh well) I finally found my card reader:

I love these overall. My DD just got her October calendar and they are going to the Pumpkin Patch on the 11th, so I may finally try to applique!!

I did a shirt earlier today with using the Heat N Bond to put down the ribbon and E6000 glue to put on the scrapebook patch of minnie, it came out sooo cute, I loved it. Now I am just hoping it stays together for the day she is giong to wear it.

I have used the E6000 on a patch, and washed and dried it, and it's still going strong.

As far as the Heat n Bond rather than glue, how well does the Heat n Bond hold up in the wash if we don't sew it down?

For those of you interested in AG dolls there is free shipping code good until Oct. 22 I think. It will save us $20 on my daughter's Bitty Twins and stroller. The code is AF72167. I understand that discounts are rare. Do they ever have Black Friday deals?

Also I was wondering if the My Disney Girl clothes would fit AG doll. I just love the little Minnie outfit, and thought that would be too cute to put on an AG doll, give as gift to suprise some unsuspecting kiddos a trip to Disney!

I am like six pages back but . . . Yes, they do and Kit is Minnie Mouse right now. The Belle dress is great.

I really like tinynays.com. She even has "Disney" plates.

We are going Jan. 14-21. Im considering buying a sewing machine. But I wouldnt know where to start. Ive never touched one. On another note I went to Hobby Lobby today. I bought a clearanced 3/4 of a yard princess fabric I paid a dollar for it. I dont know what to do?? But I know I LOVE ALL the outfits you all have I have been through all the pages.

Thanks,
Melanie

107 More Days Till Disney!!!

I am a huge fan of The Singer Esteem from Target. It is $129 and $99 on sale. I love it and would not trade in for any other model!!!!

 

[CheleLynn2]

GUESS WHAT.......

My skirt is all sewn together

I have to put in the elastic waist, but it actually looks like a skirt and like the picture on the front of pattern. I am in shock.

Of course it is going to take me 12 yrs to cut off all the little threads that are hanging around, but who cares I did it!!

There are a few things I didn't do that I probably should have, I didn't iron my seams down , I cheated with the hem and only folded it up once and sewed it , but I am beyond thrilled that it looks like a skirt. I shouldn't say this cause it is not complete because of the waistband, but I didn't even need a seam ripper.

This thread rocks!! You guys rock!! I would never ever have attempted this, but sitting up nite after nite reading thru this thread I knew I could I just had to try. So thanks guys!! Okay.....I better get back to cutting off all the extra thread I have on it, we leave on October 5th.

I just wanted to add that if you're going to post a picture of something for the first time, we want to see a nice big picture of it! Don't worry about taking up room on the board! I usually just resize things when I multi-quote, so it's not as obnoxiously long as my multi-quotes usually are.

 

[Caitsmama]

Wow! Quite a few newbies today! WELCOME!!! The first outfit I did was no sew. It was this one. I used Aleene's ok to wash it.

.

OMG, that is SOOO cute!! Where did you get that fabric?? And it's all "no sew" huh?! Very nice!!

WOO-HOO!!! You did it!! And with no seam ripper?? You rock! (Look Deann, I used "your" rock band smiley) Now we need pictures!

Someone once posted a very helpful tip about the threads (I think it was LisaZoe). Keep a little pair of scissors by the machine and cut them off as you go and it's not so bad.

Well here is my skirt, I am not sure when I will be able to do the elastic, my daughter has a soccer game tonite and I have to work 10-7 tomorrow, maybe sunday I can finish it and get a pic of my daughter in it. I just hope it fits her now that it worked out for me.

Now I have to decide if I should just glue on the minnie head on a white tshirt or try to applique?? I don't think I will push my luck and maybe just glue it down and pin on a cute little bow?? Good thing I picked up three tshirts in case I make a mistake. If I can get hers down, I would love to make one for my mom who is going with us, and maybe one for me??

Ok, this is your first time sewing???!!! Wow... i am amazed!!! Did you get a "for dummies book" or did you just buy a for dummies pattern and try to figure it out... ? GREAT JOB!!

 

[Tink561]

Hi!! Thanks your daughter and her outfits are gorgeous. I looked her up on ebay and she only has 2 outfits listed neither Disney. And they are $230 each. Are all of her outfits so expensive??

Thanks,

You can email her for information. She's done lots of Disney stuff. Right now she's doing Christmas, etc. Most of her outfits are pricey.

I just bought a for dummies pattern, and with the stuff I learned on here and deep breathing I did it. My mom has always sewed, I have a basic (very basic) understanding of it all, so alot is over my head. But there was a TON of great info on here and I just took it step by step and took breaks (so I could of course keep up with this thread LOL) and it worked out.

Now wether it will fit my daughter or not that is another story.
