Two more no sew projects I did...I glued the ribbon on the capri's. The tee is appliqued (Bought on ebay).

I got these appliques off ebay and glued them on too!!

Just some ideas.

You did a great job!

Any other knitters out there? I taught myself to knit last Oct. and I started a local knitting group in Jan. I love it! Anyone here on Ravelry? It is a new knitting community site and very very cool!
<-----------see my knit socks. 8)

I don't knit, but I crochet. I haven't in a while actually...this thread makes me want to sew...a LOT.

Disney Halloween Overalls.

Very cute overalls.

I haven't worked up the nerve to try applique on denim yet. My machine doesn't like thick fabrics very much.

 

[100AcrePrincess]

Ok. You HAVE to go to http://www.fabricfairy.com! They have some of the cutest fabric I've ever seen & Disney prints I've never seen anywhere.

Oh how nice!!! My youngest would die, if you told him he was cute, girls and cuteness are still "Yucko". Now oldest....

Well, when he starts noticing girls, you just keep my Arminda in mind.

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?

That's putting it mildly I think. I once asked my Mom how she could be such a wonderful Mom with the role model she had. She told me, "I just always asked myself what my Mom would do, and I did the opposite." Well, let's just say, my Mom is a FANTASTIC Mom, and it that's the opposite of what her Mom was, well, it must have been horrible.

Sorry to get so sappy I just sent the letter and pictures today. I logged on here and saw this post so I thought I would respond.

Wow, I always think about the story you told of your daughter's first trip to Disney. It always brings tears to my eyes!

OK, so if one more non- sewer says they have a really great sewing machine lying around when I have to go to my MIL's to sew I'm gonna join Heather's puking!!!
...t.

I am SO with you Tiffani! (That's T-beri Heather )

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.
!!!

Melanie, what princess fabric did you get?

Thanks Teresa for the help with the smocket! I did one yesterday that fits my four year old son very well (because his two year old sister was sleeping!) But it will be great for Laila for an actual paint/playdoh smock. I want to do a smaller one as a shirt for her.

Yeah!! I'm glad you could get it to work! I can't wait to see some pictures.

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,
Melanie

DD 04/25/94
DS 02/27/96
DS 02/28/05
DD 10/19/06

Yeah, they are all that expensive!But, they are gorgeous! (I don't have any, but I like to look at them!)

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

Just what I was thinking, except that he** part!

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!

Our sons are the same age, I didn't realize that. Corey is 15 too. Your younger son looks about Arminda's age, is he about 9?

Ahem, my Mom had to eat her pet rabbit too. And, my Dad's Dad (just can't bring myself to call HIM grandpa)cooked his pet goat and fed it to him. It is one of the sadest stories my Dad tells. I'll spare you the details though. Our parents had some awful horrible childhoods. It's truly amazing they turned into such great parents.

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??

Great job!!! This is really cute!! It looks so good!!! You should truly be proud!!! We are!!!

So sweet, Snow White is beautiful and Makayla just went running to her and Dopey..what a great vacation...and what wonderful memories...unfortunately I never finished her Snow White or Belle dresses, so she wore this one. Next year...

Now to start on Nicholas's outfits...a 3 year old boy...hummm...Handy Manny here I come...

Susan

Arminda has that Snow White dress. I really love it! Makalya looks so adorable in these pictures. I love seeing them!!! Thanks for sharing!

Wow! That is an Adorable photo of Makayla and Snow White. I am jealous you got to see Dopey too. Five trips to WDW in 2 years and we have yet to see any of the Seven Dwarfes (how do you spell Dwarves?).

When we were at Epcot in May, Lydia was so excited becasue Dopey was out with Snow White. So, we got in line, but JUST as we got the the front, Dopey had to go in!!! Lydia was so disapointed. I felt really bad for her. I explained to her how Dopey had to go in because it was so hot, but that really didn't help calm her that much!

Way to go!! I say applique!!!! It took me forever to work up the courage, but now I love it! Just make sure you use Heat'n'Bond Lite and NOT Ultra if you are going to applique!

Disney Halloween Overalls.

Not sure what happened here, but I wanted to say cute overalls!

I just can't look at pics of her without tearing up! She's adorable and your story makes her even more so! So, which daughter is her mother?

 

[aimeeg]

Aimee G....I hope you plan to check this out....Your costumes are fabulous and would probably do well!!!

Thanks, I missed this I will check it out! Aimee

I just can't look at pics of her without tearing up! She's adorable and your story makes her even more so! So, which daughter is her mother?

Her mother is our middle daughter who lives nearby and was with us through all the heartache...I can remember her telling us years ago that her sister was using drugs...and we just couldn't or wouldn't believe it...our youngest DD was so sweet and such a cutie, a cheerleader and so loving...but that loving child turned into a monster after using drugs...and now back to the same person she once was...

What is funny is that Makayla's mother was such a shy child..and Makayla is definitely NOT...she is just too funny and gets so excited about everything...and belts out a song when she hears music...

Well, we just put her in the car for the airport...she came running over to our room and said, "I am going to Disney World to see Beauty and the Beast!"...humm hope she falls asleep on the plane for them!

How I adore that little girl..
Susan

 

[bsusanmb]

Just wanted to say that all of the customs I have seen on this message board during my trip are just fabulous! What imaginative people you are!

Yesterday we ate at Storybook for lunch and Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Aurora and Jasmine were there...Jasmine told us to ask the person in the yellow and white shirt where we could find the other princesses...Snow White and Dopey were "hanging around Germany"...of course my DH who isn't too quick on the uptake says...is she in the Biergarten? ...that brought a big grin to the CM's face...well, no not in the Beer Garden!...and Mulan was in China... I forget who else we missed...but Makayla was happy to see Dopey and Snow White...at 2 almost 3, when it was her turn...she just ran to whomever and gave them a huge hug...she is so tiny for her age...so she didn't mow anyone down!

Well, one more day for DH and I and then home....

Saw a few cute customs in the parks but not many.... Susan

Dreamer & Wisher, LOVE those overalls!!! Great job!

 

[Caitsmama]

Not fabric, but i was looking thru the dis photobucket album, which is very cool.. and noticed the necklaces with the bottlecaps..
Question is, how do you get the hole for the jumpring thru the bottlecap? What tool did you use to punch the hole? I have a Crop-a-Dile.. wonder if that works..

 

[cheerbop]

yes, we did. I truly have faith that DD will be ok. DH takes one day at a time.
Unfotunately DD and her DH and DS live in North Phila in a terrible place. Your worst imagination can't even touch how horrible the place is. BUT, DD is happy, is clean, and she is such a loving mother. No sooner did we get DD home and clean that she left to go to North Phila to stay with the man who took her off the streets and convinced her to come home. He would not have been our choice for DD, but we have come to accept this. I believe Psalm 139 All your days were written in my book before you were one day old.
DD calls me several times a day and she is truly happy. DH and I have provided everything the baby could need, except a home. DD's DH is a convicted felon and he works for the city of phila..and he would never be able to get a job anywhere else for quite a long time, if ever...so it is DD's live and I am here to support her and love her...I truly am at peace with all of it...DD's husband is black and of course our grandbaby is mixed race...he is adorable and we just love him...

One of the consequences of having a child who is an addict is how it affects the rest of the family. My oldest DD and SIL were unable to conceive and eventually adopted a baby from a Russian orphanage. And then her baby sister is able to conceive...it was a tense situation until the adoption came through...and our middle DD resents the pain that her sister put us through..she was with us through all of this and she has a lot of anger towards her sister. All I can do is pray about it...and I try very hard to help the DD's understand that the babies are not to blame for any of this, and they need to know one another...and they do...so, that is my story...and I suppose I just had to tell it because I know now that none of us is safe from the horror of addiction and that I nearly lost my DD forever. There are so many twists and turns to this story and God truly intervened when He knew I couldn't take another day...including when we finally brought DD home, with only one outfit and no shoes...at 95 pounds and suffering from the effects of the drugs...no one would fund her rehab because of the bench warrants from Phila for prostitution...but I prayed and God opened a door...a friend called a friend and his county paid for her rehab because she was homeless...praise God. The entire story is so long that I should probably write a book ..it would probably help nonbelievers to believe...

Thanks to all of you for your kind words. My extended family is really embarrassed and ashamed of all of this, but I truly owe all the glory to God and the power of prayer and a mother who refused to give up...

Susan

I think your family is an AWESOME testimony to the Power of God. I think a book would be a wonderful thing for so many people.

I have always believed that God will never give us anything that we can not handle. I sometimes have a hard time believing it myself, but He is the One who gives us our strength when we can't do it anymore.

Your story has touched me deeply. Thanks againfor sharing

I got these appliques off ebay and glued them on too!!

Just some ideas.

Those are GLUED ON? Wow! That's cool! I never realized you could buy appliques like that. Do you think that the intention was that they be wonder-undered on? or hand stitched down? or what?

I believe most people use a Dremel type tool with the very smallest bit to do that.

That's the one I meant. Don't know why I didn't just copy & paste it. Lets just say it was past my bedtime.

Here is the tutu that I made for my DD. It's from the tulle that I bought at Hobby Lobby, it cost me about $10 to make.

You can really see the knotting in this pic but it's kind of fuzzy.

Better pic but you can't see the waistband.

The tutu is a 2-tone lavender and she was absolutely tickled with it. One thing I learned is that tutu's and carseats don't jive well together. We have a Britax and the strips of tulle got caught in the velcro pieces. It was a small disaster b/c I didn't know it and when I got her out it pulled to one side and stretched the elastic.

One question for all those that have made these. The elastic seems to keep getting stretched out, does yours? I'm going to loosen the knots and move the pieces around a little bit to keep it looking good.

That is so cute and look at her face. I think that is the best. I was worried about my little creation, even though she liked it when I showed her the pattern, wasn't convinced she would like it when it was all done. But she LOVED it!

Hi!!

Does anyone have any creative ideas for something to make that would be good for Hanna Montana concert? I can copy some ideas but don't have an ounce of creativity!

Thanks for any help!
