Are there any coupon codes for You Can Make This? I have quite a few patterns in my wish list and I would love to get them all!!

I don't see a bundle pack with the patterns I want.

I want the Sophie Tunic, Patricia Tunic, The Emma Swing top, the Round Neck Top, The A-line Dress & top and the ModMommy Nursing cover up!

Thanks in advance for any help!

I wish you would have asked yesterday. The only code that is out for them right now expired yesterday.

I feel the same way about the costumes. It would kill me to have something along on the trip, but back at the hotel when I find the right character!

I wish I had something better, but I just have a big tote bag, and fold everything up and put it inside each morning. I've done a lot of research on who I am likely to see where, and hope for the best. I"ve carted that dang Mary Poppins costume all over looking for her penguin, but no luck so far..... We also do a lot of character meals, and you usually have a pretty good idea who you'll find there.

Come to Disneyland! The penguin plays musical chairs every day with Alice and her friends.

Poor bored penguin.

Run penguin run!

Sometimes he hangs out with Mary.

Just thought I would let everyone know that Hobby Lobby is having a sale on Simplicity Patterns. They are on sale for 99 cents each with a limit of 10.

We met Mary and Mr. Penguin in the UK at Epcot. I can't access Steve Soares site at work but here is the link - http://pages.prodigy.net/stevesoares/. He is a good resource for times and character meetings.

All of the outfits posted lately have been great as usual!

Heather and Teresa and anyone else - back to the fridge thing. I think Cindee resolved it for you but just in case you or anyone else still needs a fridge there is one other possible option. You can get a free fridge if you need one for medical reasons. I thought that meant if you had medicine that needs to be kept cold they would give you a free fridge. My DH has kidney disease and has to take high blood pressure medicine and several other vitamins/supplements/etc in the morning and before bed so we need access to cold drinks so he can do so. They considered this a medical reason and gave us a free fridge - they don't require a doctor's note or anything so it was very easy for our TA to arrange it.

Well it happened...I was looking at your flicker acct dresses/gowns and your beautiful daughters, when my DD's caught sight of it. So.......my DD 11 wants you to make her wedding gown!!!!

Can't help with coupon codes, but Shelley posted a super cute red and black pillowcase dress she made from a tutorial the other day. The site she found the tutorial on also has a tutorial for a nursing cover that looks a lot like the ModMommy Nursing cover up. You can find the tutorial here:

It's not a coupon, but if it will work FREE is good right??

Hope that helps!

I have my serger all fixed, fabric pre washed and chosen for outfits. I'm actually starting on outfits tonight. I had to post a pic of Emily in an outfit I just purchased for animal kingdom. It's so cute!

Then, these are what I have picked out for Snow White using CarlaC Simply Sweet:

And a patchwork twirl dress...there is some tink fabrics and a minnie mouse one...not sure if I'll embroider on it or not. Right now I'll just be happy to make something:

And of course a Minnie Mouse simple simple simple sundress:

And last but not least, and not a bit Disney but that's ok because I love the fabrics, a little pillowcase dress using Jham's tutorial:

Wish me LUCK! Do you think I can get all these done in less than 5 weeks?? Please, if you've gone on marathons or sewn several dresses in a short time, I'd love to know as I find it encouraging.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE slow down. I'm missing everything!!! You girls are flying through the outfits and chit chat!!!

I swear people's kids are growing as the thread goes on!!!!

Darn. . . Thank you anyways.

I think birthday10 expired yesterday. I see there is a code for SWAK PlanAhead10 for 10% off expires July 24

can you use the SWAK code for YCMT? There is an embroidery file I wanted to buy there so that is helpful too.

Can't help with coupon codes, but Shelley posted a super cute red and black pillowcase dress she made from a tutorial the other day. The site she found the tutorial on also has a tutorial for a nursing cover that looks a lot like the ModMommy Nursing cover up. You can find the tutorial here:

Thanks Free is good!


I signed up for the free newsletters. So hopefully I will get the codes. I have bought several patterns before, but I didn't sign up for the newsletters.

Loving all the cute outfits!

My revelation for the day is that rayon is difficult to sew.

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I almost forgot to tell y'all

I was buying a little tank top yesterday at Old Navy, and I saw they had little pettiskirts.

They were in the Toddler section sizes up to 4t. If you have a little girl and want to add some poof under a skirt you may want to check Old Navy.

Oh, and they were pink.

THis must have gotten missed last night. I decided (and my mom is up for it as long as it doesn't involve a wig) that for the MNSSHP my mom and I would be Cinderella's stepsisters and Hayleigh would be Cinderella. Any suggestions for an adult pattern that could be modified to look like the stepsisters???? Thanks!

 

[MouseTriper]

OK, So I am going to put a few pics from our trip a 2 weeks ago and 1 from my baby girls B-Day. No real great outfits here so feel free to skim on by!! I will probably post a couple more as I find the pics in the other outfits.

This is my babies 1st B-Day obligatory Cake shot!!

This is my two oldest Arianna in The Pirate outfit, Ares The Boy, and my niece Jordynn.

At it's tough to be a bug

Meet-up in Animal Kingdom with Jordynn, Arianna, DH John, Ares and Kaylynn

And at some place eating, I just love the way this shows Kaylynn's red hair and blue eyes.

Awww they all look so cute. I love the birthday cake picture too!!!

Poor baby!
she looks so cute! Love the dress.

Thank you!!!!

Oh! Bless his little heart! I'll betcha that little fall had his mommy in a small panic?!?!!? How are you both doing now?

I really need to find those bandanas for my stasth and my future granddaughter (whenever she is concieved, born and old enough to take to WDW!) I just know she'll be adorable in it!

Thanks karebear!! Oh yes, I was definitely in a what some might call a small panic. Head wounds sure do bleed a lot and until I could tell exactly where he was bleeding from, I was in quite a panic. We are both doing great now. He really is a sweet and easy baby!!

I can't wait for you to become a grandma and are taking your little sweetie's to WDW. And oh my oh my...the scrapbooks those grandkids will have will be to die for!!! I just know it!!!!!

Poor baby, he can match Jeanne's Luke, who fell and needed stitches when they went camping. Great job on the mickey polo!

Still love this!

Oh no, Luke got hurt???? Is he okay now? Poor little guy. Nothing worse than seeing one of your children hurting.

Thanks for the compliments on the mickey polo and dress!!!

Aw, poor little man. Both of my boys had to have stitches in their heads before they turned 3. My oldest needs to be held down by 1/2 the ER staff, and my youngest just sits there and gives the Dr. the most evil stare possible while being sewn up.

It's great that you get to share pics with us now. Love the stickers all over him. My DS had his first haircut there too.

Awwww your poor little guys too. I had to laugh when I read about your youngest' giving the Dr. the most evil stare possible. That is too funny and I can just picture that.

Yeah he was loving all those stickers!!! Do you have pics to share from when your DS got his hair cut there??

Got a little Tinkerbell dress finished last night.

Awww that is adorable and so teeny tiny!!!! You did a great job!!!!

I am laughing but only because I saw wii fit not wi fi and I was wondering why you would need a laptop to play the wii! You can tell what we play around here! I think I need more coffee!

Too funny.....I did the same thing too. Hahaha.

I am taking the opportunity to shamelessly repost the picture of all the girls from last years BBB trip, and our lunch as 1900 Park Fare!

Still love this picture.

IAdorable little boy! I am so sorry he fell. Poor little guy.

Thank you so much!!!!

Ohhh I loved all these pictures...especially the one with your little Mary Poppins, so cute!

You're right that is adorable!!!! And so is your daughter!!!

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

I can not keep up with this thread anymore, Im lucky if I am able to find answers to the questions in my posts lol
anyone seen these before? Where can I find them in stores? Joann's? has anyone used them?

You know you're killing me, right???????? That penguin looks like he's just hanging around waiting for us to get there......

I AM thinking that after the late Septemeber heat at Disney World this year I will be in the mood for a CHristmas trip to Disneyland next year...... We were last there in 07, and I'm dying to get back.....

We should meet up with the girls all in costume!!

Simplicity patterns has an Adult size Snow White - you might could alter it to be the stepsisters. They have some really detailed dresses that are in the historical collection that would work - but alot more sewing!!! McCalls Patterns also have adlut princess costumes and rennaisance costumes that could be altered.

 

[mom2rtk]

Well it happened...I was looking at your flicker acct dresses/gowns and your beautiful daughters, when my DD's caught sight of it. So.......my DD 11 wants you to make her wedding gown!!!!

Tell your DD my DD and I watch "Say yes to the dress" all the time. Once I asked her if we were going to Kleinfelds to look at wedding dresses when she gets married, and she said "no, YOU're going to make my dress..."

I would have been disappointed with any other answer!

Thanks for the nice message!

Cute! I did 6 outfits in a day and a half 2 weeks ago for someone's make a wish trip. They weren't elaborate at all, but there was sheer volume. What I will say is, cut everything at once, it saves a ton of time! (And trust me, I'm still a novice sewer, so you'll be fine!)

Sewing Machine Questions

1. My 1984 Singer still sews just fine. Will I be able to do simple applique with it or will I just end up frustrated? I have never appliqued before, but was a pretty good seamstress some years ago - then I had kids!

2. If Santa were to bring me a new machine - should I be looking at a plain sewing machine or a machine that sews and embroiders? I know that if I want to use digital designs that I will need one with a USB port - but don't want to be overwhelmed with too many bells and whistles!!!!
