I'm tackling the Scallopini this afternoon, hopefully. I have all but the underskirt cut out...and have decided I need a larger cutting mat! LOL I put it on my Christmas list. :-D

Time to show off some Halloween costumes. The kids had Orange and Black day yesterday:

Tyler



And I forgot to get a pic of Liam, but here is the shirt.



and then Halloween Costumes for school this morning:

Liam, and since he is a teenager, the joke about this is 'hey, I'm your local dealer'. Not very appropriate, but on the other hand, kinda funny.



Vest is the version by Carla, just upsized, and I made the Bow Tie too.

And now for Tyler, you may remember, that this is what we were trying to replicate:



And this is what we came up with:



Leggings from the Sewing Clothes Kids love book, blouse the portrait peasant, the tunic is a REALLY modified bowling shirt.

Great job, very creative coming up with the last one!

I know this isn't sewing-related, but I successfully made our tie dye mickey shirts for MVMCP! I am in with the way they turned out!

Love these, they came out great!!

I just wanted to tell all of you how inspiring you are. Not only in your sewing skills, but also in how much you give to others through your Big Give. You inspired me to get the Easy Fit Pants and do them all by myself without any help! (I sound like my 2 year old when I say that) You also inspired me to join a big give as well! So thank you and here is a pic of the pants I made my daughter. They are pirate themed pants and she is just wearing them as pajamas, but they are her new favorites!! Thanks! Also where do I find the simply sweet pattern?
Erica

Great job on your first pair! Now there's no stopping you.

so the first time i saw the tim burtons "Alice in Wonderland" i fell in love with all the costumes. but by far my fav was the red white and black dress that alice wore as "Um" in the red queens court. I vowed to make my dd a kid version of this dress for halloween and here it is...

tfl

I haven't seen the movie, but the costume looks great!

 

[ellenbenny]

Thanks to everyone who has made a similar dress before me, because I think I CASED a little from everyone on this one. So I think of it as FRANKENCASING.

Also thanks to Heather for the awesome filmstrip design!! Not sure how you came up with the idea for this one, but I absolutely love it!

I am very pleased with how this came out for DGD for our upcoming 4th b-day Disney trip in December.

 

[VBAndrea]

Only had time to quote a couple of pages back so my apologies for not commenting on everyone's great work...

PIPER: Glad you at least got some OK news from your appt and here' to hoping you're feelling better.

ELLENBENNY: All you Big Give outfits are out of this world! What amazing generosity!

I hate to admit it, but I love the "local dealer" joke! Tyler's costume turned out great. I am finished with my Halloween outfits as well but haven't even pulled pics off the camera yet. I've gotten lots of compliments on them thus far (school party and one other party).

I know this isn't sewing-related, but I successfully made our tie dye mickey shirts for MVMCP! I am in with the way they turned out!

Those are PERFECT!

Fantastic job! And don't you love it that your daughter adores them so much as well?! The Simply Sweet is by Carla C and is available on YouCanMakeThis.com

Here is my outfit for Joey's Big Give - for his sister Shaelyn

I altered the back of the Emma Swing Top using Stephres tutorial:

And just because she is so cute - here is Chloe our 11 week old Golden pup - who almost pulled my sewing machine into the floor while I was in the next room pressing seams open!

Beautiful outfit and beautiful pup -- our neighbor's have a very light colored Golden like that named Chloe as well. And Golden's are smart -- 18 month old Shih Tzu's poop on the living room carpet minutes after they have just been outside.

so the first time i saw the tim burtons "Alice in Wonderland" i fell in love with all the costumes. but by far my fav was the red white and black dress that alice wore as "Um" in the red queens court. I vowed to make my dd a kid version of this dress for halloween and here it is...

tfl

That turned out really nice -- very creative.

As I was getting out my weekly email on the progress of our upcoming Disney trip I realized we are at the 8 week mark for CHRISTMAS!

Between now and Christmas I have a 10 day Disney trip, 2 birthdays, and a gigantic family Christmas party at my house.( And I guess I should also include Halloween and Thanksgiving in here too, but they are not being held at my house this year so I can kinda forget about them...) In the 3 weeks after Christmas I have 3 more birthdays! I am feeling a bit like Santa in his 'busy' season!

Since both kids are back in public school this year, I guess I need to add presents to all those additional teachers, bus drivers, etc. Of course there are the normal gifts for all the therapists, doctors and office staff we normally see weekly, as well as Sunday school teachers...

So...instead of working in the studio this morning (procrastination anyone?) I am working on Christmas lists! Previously I posted requesting Christmas ideas and got the link for those cute Criss Cross Coasters. I think I can get some of them out easily. My daughter also requested that I make some Monogrammed book marks for her teachers, and one of the receptionists at the therapist office requested the monogrammed toilet paper!

So, in that vein...what ideas do you have for Christmas gifts?

I know that this year the gifts will not be as elaborate as in the past. I have limited amount of time and energy to put into them, but I am determined to make as much of the gifts as possible.

Also, do you have any ideas for place setting for a Christmas party? In the past I have made quilted stockings (of course I spent 3 months on them!) simple personalized ornaments and some marbleized ornaments. We are looking at somewhere between 12 and 20 guests.

There, now I have you guys doing my planning for me...off to see what else I can do to procrastinate!


LOL

Ideas are just that -- ALWAYS ideas that never come to fruition b/c I never have enough time. I always have wanted to make the teachers Avilo Totes but have never had time -- kids are in the same class this year so maybe, just maybe -- but more likely for an end of the year gift rather than Christmas because I will only have to make two (teacher and one assistant) and I will still give them gift cards as well.

I also make simple jewelry and some years I've gotten around to making bracelets for the teachers so that's always on my list as well.

I also thought fleece scarfs would be nice and simple -- and I have some left over fleece from Halloween costumes, but it seems to be really shedding fleece everywhere so not so sure I want to use it -- my dd had black leggings on under her fleece pants and when she took the pants off the leggings were covered in grey fuzz.

I'm curious to hear other's ideas as well. We have a few people I'd like to give small gifts too -- like the office manager at school.

I neglected to make multi quotes AGAIN Anyway, love all the beautiful outfits and Big Give postings. Thank you so much everyone for the compliments on my Winter Pooh outfit for Kaity. Anita, thanks for the tips on the zigzag...I will try that on my next outfit and see if it makes a difference.

I'm putting a larger cutting mat on my Christmas list as well!

Thanks to everyone who has made a similar dress before me, because I think I CASED a little from everyone on this one. So I think of it as FRANKENCASING.

Also thanks to Heather for the awesome filmstrip design!! Not sure how you came up with the idea for this one, but I absolutely love it!

I am very pleased with how this came out for DGD for our upcoming 4th b-day Disney trip in December.

LOVE IT!!!! You do such fabulous work. Loved all your Big Give outfits as well (in case you missed that I mentioned it at the begining of my reply).

Allrighty, off to finish my Big Give items -- almost done!

The dress is wonderful. Your DGD will be the "bell of the ball" and get many compliments, I'm sure. It was fun looking at all the fabrics and saying either, "I have that" or "I WANT that."

I've been eyeing the filmstrip design. My son majored in film in college and now works in TV production in NYC. I don't know if there's anything I can do with the filmstrip for him. . . . or just wait for my own DGDs.

Love it...fun fun fun!

 

[erikawolf2004]

This came out great! I love the tie in back, I would never have thought to put a sash on a knot type dress!

One thing that I gave out to all of the PE Coaches, Art and Music Teachers and Librarian one year were decorated clipboards. I also gave them to homeroom teachers as valentine gifts. The clipboards were about $1 each and since I scrapbook, I already had the paper and ribbon to decorate them with and Modpodge is cheap! The teachers loved them and are still using them several years later. Here are some pics:

Here's the directions for how I made the collar on Rebecca's Aurora dress. The dress itself is CarlaC's Portrait Peasant, with a center panel and ric-rac added, as well as the peplum, you can find the directions for that on her Scientific Seamstress blog. She did it on a Simply Sweet, but it works for the peasant too. The dress was completely done before I added the collar, it's made from broadcloth and two layers of the heaviest iron on interfacing I could find...I think it's called Craft Bond, and I know I got it from JoAnn's. I measured the dress while she was wearing it to see where the panel edge to approx mid-sleeve would be...on a size 4, slender girl this was 6.5". This measurement became my bottom line, the outside line to create the point is 4.5", the opposite side is 2.5", I then connected the tall and short lines to make an uneven triangle...all those measurements include a 1/4" seam allowance. Here's the first draft pattern piece cut out. It's 1/2 of a collar at this point

Because I hate having to move pattern pieces any more than necessary, I traced the pattern with the long edge on the fold, giving me a complete collar without having to cut on a fold. You'll need to cut 4 of both the fabric and 4 of the interfacing.

Iron the interfacing to all the pieces, and using a 1/4" seam, stitch the long edges, leaving the short edges open, then trim the point and turn right side out. Press well and then either serge or zigzag the raw edges. (what you see here is my first attempt, the one's I've made for the Big Give have been finished properly, lol) On the front of the dress, pin the collar piece with the short edge pointing toward the sleeve. You'll be making your stitching line as close to the panel without stitching over it.

When you fold the collar back on itself, the rough edge will be hidden underneath.

You'll repeat the same thing on the back, using the sleeve/back bodice seam as your stitching point. This one is a little tricky, just be sure to pin well and hold the collar out of the way of the needle. It is awkward, but looks ok when you're done.

And that's it. The whole thing just floats on your princess's shoulders, and it didn't seem to interfere with any of Rebecca's activities the day she wore it to MK...she enjoyed the attention she got that day and one little girl insisted she was the "real Aurora" LOL!

Hi guys - Just got Michael's Big Give shirts all done!!

Does anyone know of a good site for free in the hoop projects? maybe a key tag or a luggage tag??? Im intrugued and would like to try....


Whats everyone else up to?

 

[teresajoy]

Thanks, I saw those and was thinking about getting them to coordinate with some of my Sis Boom fabric but now that I know Heather created them I will purchase them. I know they will stitch out great!

I wish they would put the actual digitizers name on the listing somewhere.

I know this isn't sewing-related, but I successfully made our tie dye mickey shirts for MVMCP! I am in with the way they turned out!

YAY!!! Those look FANTASTIC!
And, remember,things don't need to be sewing or Disney related to post on this thread!

I just wanted to tell all of you how inspiring you are. Not only in your sewing skills, but also in how much you give to others through your Big Give. You inspired me to get the Easy Fit Pants and do them all by myself without any help! (I sound like my 2 year old when I say that) You also inspired me to join a big give as well!

Also where do I find the simply sweet pattern?
Erica

Look how happy she looks!!! Great job! I think it's been answered, but you can get teh Simply Sweet on http://www.youcanmakethis.com look for the CarlaC patterns.

And, did everyone see that Kris and Kim (the owners of YCMT and SWAK) were on the Nate Berkus show the other day??? http://www.thenateshow.com/videos/d...and-gatherer-challenge-kid-inventors-and-more

Two weeks from right now I'll be getting to Epcot...I am so excited and panicked at the same time. Last night DH told me I might have to teach him how to man the embroidery machine while I sew so I can have both machines going at the same time if I want to get everything done. I just might take him up on it tonight...he can push start and stop and trim jump stitches, right?

I showed Arminda how to use the embroidery machine and she is great at it now! I say take him up on that offer!

Here is my outfit for Joey's Big Give - for his sister Shaelyn

And just because she is so cute - here is Chloe our 11 week old Golden pup - who almost pulled my sewing machine into the floor while I was in the next room pressing seams open!

The Big Give outfit is fabulous!!! She will be so excited!

Your puppy is so cute! What a pretty little thing!

Brian's friend bought a Brittany Spaniel today. He stopped by on his way home and let her play in the backyard with the girls. She was cute, but thank goodness did not make me want another Brittany! I was worried I might lose my resolve upon seeing a puppy! Actually, Brittanys aren't very cute puppies, they just look like little Brittanys. Good to know.

Love everything posted!!

I sewed a bodice with 2 colors before - is this what you are thinking?? I ended up just cutting out the fabric the wrong way - so no seam under the arm, but in the front instead - does that make sense???? lol

I just love that dress!

so the first time i saw the tim burtons "Alice in Wonderland" i fell in love with all the costumes. but by far my fav was the red white and black dress that alice wore as "Um" in the red queens court. I vowed to make my dd a kid version of this dress

l

FANTASTIC!!!!! That is so pretty! Your daughter is such a little doll!

I hate to admit, but I had to ask Corey yesterday who Um from Umbridge was! Jeanne made a wonderful dress for her daughter Jayden, and I had been too embarrassed that I didn't already know to ask her who it was!

Oh I just LOVE it!!!!! You really did a superb job. I love the way you made it into a dress. Has your grand daughter seen it yet? She is going to go crazy for it!

I finished my first patchwork skirt today for a friend of mine. It was so much fun sewing all the different fabrics together. (thanks to those who sent fabric for it!) I will post a picture when I find the camera.

Well, I finished my first patchwork twirl today. Yay me! It was fun to do. Now, I think I'll make one for my girls!

The shirts look great! Not free but digistitches.com has luggage tags in the hoop I think.

Theresa, my granddaughter came over tonight and tried on the dress. It fit perfectly and looked so cute on her. My daughter in law said it is her favorite outfit I've made so far and can't wait for here to wear it! Can't wait to see your patchwork twirl!

They aren't free, but Digistitches has some luggage tags and are having a big sale right now.

 

[mom2OandE]

I just finished up a set for Joey's big give for his sister. I made her a tee and a knit twirl skirt with vintage Disney patches. I scanned some vintage Disney scrapbook stickers I bought at the park a few years ago, printed them onto to transfer paper and then ironed them on to white knit. Then I put wonder under on the back of the knit and cut them out. Ironed them to the skirt and then straight stitched the edges. It turned out so cute. I'm doing a similar one for dd and ds.

 

[billwendy]

Thanks for the links to the different sites everyone!

I did find an adorable Nativity design that I'll put on a shirt to wear to Sunday School !!!!! I already bought it, but I just realized, I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL FIT MY 5x7 Hoop!!!! UGH!!!!
http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=2177674

I'd love to find a free lip balm holder for in the hoop now that I know they exist!!!lol!!!

Happy Halloween!! Have fun trick or treating - and be safe!!
