Thank you to everyone that responded to my post. Around 8 last night we heard that he was coming home and to give him a few days to settle in before we inundated the family with visitors. He unexpectedly died this morning. Thank you all anyway.

Oh Lurkylala, I am so very sorry to hear that. You and everyone that knew this man will be in my thoughts.

Erin wasn't the only early shopper this morning!

The kiddos and I trekked across town for my second DisMeet this morning! I enjoyed meeting Erin and her mom and shopping around the store together for a bit!

And, I had a big DUH! Moment when I figured out Erin's screen name. I somehow completely missed the fact that she is nanny to V. Nanny E. Duh! Mystery solved.

(I'll get caught up on all the gorgeous dresses posted recently over the weekend!)

Regards,
C.

Thanks for coming to meet me Carrie! It was so fun to do a Dismeet and her cuties are freaking adorable! My mom and I didn't get out of Joanns until close to 12! How was the zoo?

I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs!

I'm a newbie to all of this. Wow! So many of these outfits and shirts are amazing! I was wondering what kind of machines you all use for the appliqués. Do you hand guide for the stitching?

I use an embroidery machine for most of my appliques. However, from time to time I use my regular sewing machine to do applique "by hand." I just set it to slow and the widest zigzag width and go from there. There is a great tutorial from the first page of this thread about appliques.

Oh I am so sorry to hear that. Please know that your friend's family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry. You know it's coming but it comes so fast sometimes. he must have been ready.

I finally finished my nieces 1st birthday dress I still have the hat to make and to find out if it fits her but still done. I made a reversible jacket for it following a youtube video and it actually came out right.






I also made her a neon pink and blue tutu with a tulle hair bow to match and a tulle dress for pictures.

I am still playing with my new toy in a limited fashion because I have about 5 embroidery thread colors, but trying things out I am.

Such as this: A French Inspired Mug Rug > not specifically Disney, but a definate idea for, say, an EPCOT inspired something.

I don't know if you can see the truely horrible stitching on the right side of the Eiffel Tower, but I was overthinking my applique at that point. I got it right on the left side, though. The back makes up for it though, I love the vintage fabrics and the improvised French flag.

The wording was the very first thing I did on the new machine. I am quite pleased and am looking forward to more fun!!

And all the fabric came form my stash!!

 

[babynala]

Headed to my Dad's for school break and gonna bring my sewing with me. I have lots of stuff cut so I will just bring everything I need to make it and maybe I will get a few things done while my kids play or are sleeping. I lost the quote but I love the little outfit you made with the reversible jacket, so cute.

PLus, celebrations are in order since due to my Dh's previous employer being sold we have now paid off our DVC and vehicle in full !! One had 3 years left and one had 5. YAY !!

Congrats on paying off your DVC and vehicle. Hope you are having fun at your Dad's.

The mug rug is a great idea and it looks nice. Bonus that it was from your stash.

I hope you have a great time at your Dad's house and that you get a lot of sewing done. Hooray for being able to pay of your DVC and your vehicle! How wonderful!

I use an embroidery machine for my appliques. I LOVE mine! I have a Brother Innovis 4000d. A lot of people do hand appliques on their machine. It is on my bucket list of things to learn how to do but I haven't gotten to it yet. I am hopeful that I will get some time this summer to work on learning. On the first page of this discussion you will find a link to a wonderful hand applique tutorial.

I was going to suggest a tshirt throw. I made one for my Mom for Christmas: they take 9-12 tshirts and I just used some fleece I had in my stash for the back, so I didn't need any batting.
I also like the idea of having his loved ones including things that have special meaning for them.

I did a hand applique this week and after overthinking one side, it turned out pretty well. It's not specifically Disney related, but in theory could be EPCOT related, so as soon as I've got pictures taken, I'll post it. It's another Mug Rug, BTW.

Did you use a tutorial for your t-shirt throw? I am going to try to make one out of some of my dd's old t-shirts. I am hoping to work on it this summer while she is at camp and then I can give it to her as a surprise when she gets home. I can't wait to see your first hand applique.

Beautiful dress and coat. She will be so adorable for her first birthday photos. I love the dress and the bloomers turned out terrific. I think it is good that you didn't add any wording. It would have been lost on that fabric. Did you follow a tutorial to make the coat? It is an adorable idea. Do you have a link? One of the best gifts that I used to get each year for my girls' birthday was a membership to the JC Penney photo club. That way I could get their pictures taken in their birthday outfits each year.

That turned out great. You must be having fun playing around with the applique and the embroidery. Love that you made the back into the French flag to go with the front.

Did you all know that there is a PDF pattern group on FB now? It is called PDF Pattern Sales and Promotions. It has lots of information about sales. I should warn you though that if you join, you are going to end up spending money on new patterns. I think I bought three last week. I'm trying to try out some of the new patterns. Today I did an adorable pair of little shortalls. I am very pleased with how they turned out. I can't share pictures just yet though because they are for one of the FB launch groups. I am hoping to try out another new pattern later this week but I'm not sure how much sewing time I will be able to fit in this week.

Your first project on the embroidery looks great. It is great that you can do it using materials in your stash!

I think this is another reason why I am glad that I don't do FB.

Didn't realize my brother had moved in already so now I am short a bed and will be spending the week taking turns sleeping on the couch with my kids. not fun ! The coat was from a Simplicity pattern 1921 and I followed this tutorial to make it reversible. It worked great.

Thank you for all the compliments on the outfit, I can't wait to see what SIL thinks and how it fits my niece.

This thread got me started on sewing. My mom bought a Laura Ashley brother machine about 8 months ago. We have loved having it and I have 19 shirts for our upcoming trip (will hopefully get a pic tomorrow). Well last weekend we went to a 2 day sewing event at our local store and mom bought a 10 Needle brother embroidery machine!!!! I can't believe she got it, that things huge but very nice. They had to order it as they only had one and someone else had purchased it. I can't wait to get it and play. Luckily the ladies are great and lessons come with each machine you buy. We are keeping the other machine too, plus she has an old singer sewing machine. We are moving all out stuff to a bigger room in her house!

I love that group I bought a couple patterns this week. I am going to try one today or tomorrow for the new baby. I also have a bunch I want to get for C.

Congrats on the 10 needle machine it is on my bucket list even though I have no where to put it.

Glad that we could get you started on sewing. I can't wait to see your 19 shirts! And wow, a 10 needle machine. I'm green with envy

Chiara, I lost your quote. Which new pattern are you trying out for the baby? Did you buy the new Ellie Inspired romper? That was so cute! I didn't buy that one even though it was 1/2 price. I already have a couple of baby patterns and no babies to sew for.

Here is an Enabler Alert!!!

Olabelhe is having a BOGO sale on her patterns. You go to her website and purchase a pattern. For each pattern that you purchase you will get one for free. But to get the free pattern you have send her an email and tell her which one you want. There is no limit on the number of free patterns you can get. When you send the email, you have to put "Tulips" in as the subject. I have made several of her patterns and they turn out great. They are very pretty and girly.

Diane I did get the romper along with the Delany top. I also bought 2 patterns by CKC the peony maxi dress and a maxi skirt for C

I have picked up a couple patterns too. I got the Rachel Knit dress (and went to the thrift store for some up-cyclable t-shirts) and a couple more. On my agenda is sewing with knits. I have been searching all the remnant bins for some knits to practice with and scored big time at Hancock fabrics with a yard of pink with white pokladots! Woo hoo!

I also wanted to share this, it made my day, I made these shirts before we left on our road trip and today was the girls' birthday. Their mom showed the bakery the shirts and they made cakes to match. How cute are these?
