[Jennia]

And here's my shameless plug, I've started a pre trip report! I tried doing one last year and got like three replies the whole time, lol! I'm probably going to use this for our Disneyland trip as well, just put it in as a mini TR. =)

Hello all! I am enjoying reading and looking at at all the wonderful pictures. Love the Friends Around the World outfit; it looks like a winner to me!

I was working on an elastic back option for kid pants and finished the tutorial HERE. Hope this help someone!

I love the colors. Great outfit!

Hi! I have to say you guys have been busy as little bees!!!

Things have been crazy for us since we got home. Our dog tore his ACL...not good! It does not help that he is hugely overweight! OUR FAULT...for the most part. So...after spending all that money at Disney...we got to spend more on surgery for poor Buckley. Say a prayer for his recovery! The real concern right now is that the other ACL will tear while he is healing. If that happens...well...he won't be able to walk at all...I just can't think about it right now. For now, we have to help him walk and move around. Tim has to carry him outside.

I am working on downloading some pics from our trip. I will post when is gets done.

Well... seems like all I get is bad news lately. or at least the bad over rides the good.

I think I told you all that when I went to my mom's to help out with my step dad my mom had been sick. she thought it was just a cold a really really bad cold. She went to the dr it was Bronchitis that was a few weeks ago. last week she got worse. Went to the dr for a MRI, they found a lump on her lung. They did surgery yesterday and a PET scan to find out if its cancerous or not. She is at the specialist office today. I haven't heard from her yet.

Please keep her in your prayers. thanks, I know there is so much love on this board.

Praying for your family and especially your mom!

Very cut outfit. Love the tute. Just perfect for the more mature princesses.

You ladies have been busy! I am loving all the new creations everyone has made. They're all gorgeous!

I haven't been around lately or sewing much lately, but I did make a blankt and taggie for my cousins baby Ava.

Very pretty. Love the flower fabric.

Here is a photo of DDs Animal Kingdom outfit. Keep in mind the material and design were all HER creation and she has a flair for the outrageous

I really like the flamingo in the Mickey Head, and if she likes it that is all that matters.
My kids love colour too. You should see the rag quilt Tyler is working on for his Auntie Barb. I will post pics in a couple of days when he is done. Let's just put it this way, it will prob. keep her up at night it is so bright.

I had a whole string of mutiquotes and when I hit post reply, only one showed up

Thanks for those FUTURA links. . . . I have the CE-350 - my mil actually bought it for herself and then thought it was too complicated for her to learn, I've made so many things on it that a few weeks ago she said it was mine

I LOVE all the outfits posted - and the it all started with the mouse one is adorable. I think it you are looking for symmetry then maybe putting in another ruffle with the sleeve fabric would tie it together some more, but it seems fantastic to me.

PS I really hope once I have my peanut here that I will be blessed enough to be chosen to test out a pattern

We are going to DW in September with our sons ages 18 months and 4. We have three character meals scheduled, and I'd like something cute for them to wear that is still appropriate for them to wear at the park. We are doing Donald's safari breakfast, O'Hana breakfast, and 1900 Park fare for supper. What do you suggest for these?

My 18 month old is in 2T clothing, and my 4 year old wears sizes 8-10. (Yes, he really is that tall, and he isn't fat.)

Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions. I do sew for them as much as I can. I will be locking myself in the sewing room for many days to get some cute things done for Disney.

I want to get my little girl some Converse high tops. On the Chuck's website it says for a 9-12 month old to get size 4-5. Kenzie will be 1 in a month, weighs right about 20 lbs and is in a size 3 show from Walmart. What do you guys recommend?
Also, do you know any good sites where these might be on sale. It's awful hard to spend $24 on shoes she'll outgrow in a few months. Plus I love ALL the colors!!

Thanks!!

Princess Aurora DRESSES

TIA!

I made this one:

It is a simply sweet with the modifications that you see in the dress. I used a pattern from one of the big 3 pattern companies for the pattern of the peplum, but it's just straight lines, so you could really draft it yourself.

Not sure about sizing for you, but JCPenney used to carry the Chucks and they were a pretty good price too. I know Target is carrying them in the bigger girls sizes maybe check online to see if they have them in baby sizes too.

I really recommend two patterns made by CarlaC on youcanmakethis.com Look at the bowling shirt and the easy fit pants (trust me, these are AWESOME patterns) and you can use them for both. You make them by measurements notjust standard sizes, and there are multiple lengths on the shirts, and unlimited lengths on the pants. You can also add embelishment to t-shirts to go w/ shorts, clamdiggers, etc. HIH

The aurora dress that a couple of ladies modified is sadly oop, but like revrob said, the simply sweet dress by carla C on youcanmakethis.com can be easily modified.

LADIES

Has anyone done anything "Megara" from Hercules, particularly that would work for an older girl? (12) My daughter Emmy came to me tonight and said she loves Megara (not sure where that came from, I knew Mulan, Pocahontas and Esmaralda but this was a surprise!) and I'm so flipping excited there's something she WANTS that I'd love to brain storm something up special for her.

Ideas would be SO FANTASTIC from this creative crew! Thanks!

A couple of years ago:

This years:

I used the disney princess pattern, made the white collar, and slipped it down the tank top, stitched it on. Same with the pointed sash thing. marked Kirstas waist on the tank and stitched it down.

 

[Stephres]

Love these, so pretty and feminine! I also like reading your facebook updates and glad you posted them here.

I love love love it Steph! Tell Megan she looks particularly lovely today!

Thanks! Do I have to tell her? She already thinks she is quite lovely, lol!

Steph I LOVE this outfit! So cute and I can't wait to check out the tutorial!

Thank you!

Stephres!!! I love the outfit you made Megan. This is my favorite that you have ever done!! Adorable!!

Wow Aimee, this means a lot because I adore everything you make. Thanks!

My life is going bonkers right now - DD (5 mo) is having hearing issues, I have kidney stones and a kidney infection, and DH is deploying. My therapy - SEWING Anyways, I have decided to try some appliques. I want to do Sebastian and Flounder and was sent cutouts from a sheet (thank you Laura!). Should I just put them on the t-shirt or would I be better off using different materials and piecing it together?

Also, I would like to make my youngest dd a shirt and applique a Mickey head on it for the Christmas party... she will be 10 months old when we go, so probably in the size 9-12 months. Does anyone know a good pattern I should use? I've always used Simplicity, Buttericks, and McCalls, but am willing to venture into the YCMT patterns.

TIA

I'm sorry about what's going on right now, hope you get it all sorted out. Like others have said, anything written by Carla at youcanmakethis is easy and will be cute!

This outfit is really gorgeous! I think I'm gonna have to break down and buy that pattern for the top; I really, really love your choice of fabrics and how you brought the applique to the shorts; perfect!

Thank you! I was debating whether or not to applique the pants or leave them plain so they could go with other things but I am glad I did now.

I love that little set Steph! Thanks for the tutorial!

You're welcome: thanks for telling me to write it (did you know you had that much power?).

My daughter loves flamingos, so I get this outfit! Totally cute and I am sure it reflects the personality of your daughter, which is the best kind of outfit!

I love the colors. Great outfit!

Thanks!

Oh I do love this dress. AND..... guess who is sitting behind me doing my hair??? any takers? yup, she looked over and said "OOOOOOOH Mama, I just have to have that. I KNOW just KNOW you can make that for me, mommy. PREETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTY PLEEEAASEEEE?" hahaha Um yeah so Guess what I will be making? SO I am sure I will have a few questions in a week or so.

Since I do not think I feel like doing another TR this year...I will share just the important pics with you guys. Since photobucket is so slow...I will spread this over a few posts.

We drove down on Friday afternoon as far a St. Augustine. We stayed in a Confort Suites just off the interstate. Then we got up early and arrived at WDW around 9:30. We were very happy our room was ready...we stayed at ASMu in a family suite. It was soooo nice to have the extra space this year!

We spent our first day at Animal Kingdom. It was sooo much fun!! And for my BIG, HUGE Thank you to T!!!!! She was nice enough to let me CASE her AK outfit....mine were not as nice as her's...but when you work in 3's....you tend to cut down on too many details! But the kids got TONS of attention! I made them out of a very lightweight cotton so the kids were really cool all day...thank goodness because it was way hot!


Meeting Flick!

The back of Katie's shirt on the way to the Safari...

On the train to Rafiki's PW...the kids got to blow the whistle on the train.

During the parade, many, many CM's stopped to comment on the kids outfits.

We went to Wilderness Lodge for dinner...we were supposed to eat at Whispering Canyon, but the kids didn't want to eat there......so we ate at the CS Roaring Fork, I think. Really, it was okay...little cheaper that way! But, WL is beautiful! Tim said we may have to figure out a way to stay there someday! I can only hope!
