Oh don't I know it! Unfortuntately, this dress:

IMG_6947-1-1.jpg


just cost me nearly $800. Yes, our kitty decided to eat the leftover 6 inches of gold bias tape (bottom of dress). It nearly cost me $4000 as he was heading into surgery but after 3 days of not eating finally scarfed down a whole bowl of food. Thankfully!!! Anyway, there went my Baby Lock.

:scared1::scared1: WOW! That's pretty scary! I'm glad your kitty is ok! But sorry it cost your Baby Lock money! :scared1::scared1:

Yes thankfully the spots are healing we now have fading brown patches. I know she is not contagious anymore but her poor skin looks so bad still I still don't want to take her out. Gotta love eczema in the florida humidity LOL.

Poor Morgan! I hope it won't be too much longer before she can get out. The girl needs a day in the Magic Kingdom!
 
Okay, I need to know if this is a tutorial or did you just do the skirt on your own. I love it and want to do a version:)
Thanks,
Christi

This is my own 'pattern'. If I can figure out how to recreate the skirt in different lengths so it looks good, I would love to do an ebook for it.

Ack! That must have been so scary. I know cats will eat tinsel but I never considered one would eat bias tape.

BTW - Have you shown the front of the skirt? The back looks really cute.

Hi All! I am quite crafty, but don't really sew. However, I came across this Mickey scarf, and really want to learn how to make one for our upcoming December trip. I PM'd the poster, but haven't heard back any details. Do any of ya'll have suggestions on how to make one of these? Do you think that she made the whole scarf or just did the applique? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :worship:

The scarf looks like it would be pretty simple to do. This might not be exactly how it was done but it's what I'd do to get a similar finished product. Start with a print fleece and a coordinating solid. Cut the print to the width and length you want for the scarf minus the length you want for the fringe at each end. Cut 2 strips of the solid the same width as the print and the length for the fringe plus the seam allowance. Sew one strip to each end of the scarf then cut it into strips about 1/2" wide to create the fringe. Attach the Mickey head shape using whatever stitch method works for you. This one looks like it was hand sewn with a blanket stitch.
 
Stupid question: is there a pattern that correlates to the build a bear animals? Megan wants a matching outfit for her build a bear dog and I think the american girl size would be too tight. What do you guys use for stuffed animals (please don't say you wing it!)?
I believe everyone is just winging it. I just use the CarlaC patterns, but I don't know how well they fit because everytime that I make something with the patterns Jenna puts them on her dolls. By the way I love those Mullet pants. I am going to use that technique to make Jenna her school pants. She wanted some last year that wouldn't look funny when she tucked her shirt in.
 
I may not have posted it. It was about this time last summer. I made 4 princess sets using pillowcases and got some of Emily's friends to model them together. I had bling and matching bows made for them all too. (They were all the first appliques I did on my new machine. I tested my new Kenmore on these. ;) )

This is my neice - I love the necklace Kelly made!! It's my all time fav!!​
Those look so cute Leslie!!
Can I as where you guys get your patterns or directions for your outfits and you pillowcase outfits

Like Shannon said, if you check the first post you will find most of the answers right there. :thumbsup2 I have compiled a bunch of bookmarks too that have lots and lots of free patterns, many for the pillowcase dresses. The link is in the first post and in my siggy! Let us know if you have any other questions. :)

:welcome: I see that Lisa already answered your question. It shouldn't be too hard to do. We have a template for the Mickey Head in the group Photobucket account under "graphics" I do believe. I think I have a link in the bookmarks that tells how to do a blanket stitch too, if you want to check there to learn to do that. Or, I'm sure you could just do a Google search and will find some directions.

The fleece you will be using is nice, because you don't have to hem the edges or anything, since it doesn't fray. It should be a nice easy project for you, and really cute too!
 
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.

For boys you can applique t-shirts with Mickey heads, instructions are in the first post of the thread. You can also go to youcanmakethis.com and get Carla's Bowling shirt pattern. It is great for boys. You could also applique overalls. There is information in the first post about our photobucket account you can find a lot of pictures there of some outfits for boys.

Heather sue made a Prince Charming costume for her little boy that would be cute for 1900 Park Fare.

NOW, we headed to our local thrift store, to get some Big Tshirts to make my fabulous Tshirt capris. They had 1.00 Shirts today! Love that. We didn't find any good shirts that have a nice centered design... HOWEVER.. we did score something HUGE!!

Georgia has been saving for a "real" AG doll. Even though we got the AG cousin. hehe She still wants a real one. Well, we were lookin and there she was... a packaged American Girl doll! OMG! I saw it out of the corner of my eye. Another little girl was heading over to her, and I said Georgia GO RUN GET THAT DOLL! hahaha I know bad mommy!! But, its a brand new doll... and an AG doll at that! She skurried her little booty up got her RIGHT before the other girl. whew.... She brought it back to me. I got a naughty look from the mother (oops sorry. What can I say, I guess she knew what it was too) Even though we are on a tight budget right now, and only gettig the shirts. I figured since we weren't getting any shirts, right??? So up to the counter we go, total please..... $5.95!!! YES you read that right! SIX BUCKS!

Total score.
Wow! What a great bargain. Which doll did she get? Pictures please!!!!

I agree with her. The nice thing about fleece is that it doesn't unravel so you don't have to hem it. If you google blanket stitch you can probably find a nice tutorial on how to stitch around the Mickey Head shapes.


So many pretty dresses! Everyone is making such beautiful stuff.

I am working on an outfit for my nephew and my son. Hope to be finishing up soon.
 
I finished two more today. It was much easier thanks to my ruffler coming in the mail and Carla's e-book. I doubt if I would have figured it out without it!!

Here is the first:

Thanks!

I love love love this dress!!! I'd love to be able to try to case it if you'd be willing to share how you did the whole thing!! I was thinking of it for my size 3 neice - I have the disney brother too!!! How did you know how wide to make the panels, how to get the fabric in exactly the right spot:?? Its just amazing!!:goodvibes
 
For those of you who have been or know, what are the characters dressed in during October? We are going Oct1-6 and I am wondering if they are going to be in their normal dress attire. I was thinking they would only be in their Halloween attire at MNSSHP. But are the parks decorated for Halloween? Just trying to get an idea of what it is going to be like! Thanks!

We've been a few times in October. Magic Kingdom is decorated the whole time. However, the characters are only dressed differently during MNSSHP. We LOVE going during October. We're gonna really miss it this year.
 
2 little cute dresses finished today :)

Lori you always whip up the cutest little outfits. Love them

Thank you all for the links and your insight. We just got back from WDW and I have some pics of the clothes I did for my kids.

I was really happy with the Evil Queen/ 7 dwarfs shirt I did for dd. This is the first piece of clothing I've ever done. I've only done a pocket book and curtains before. I did not use a pattern (big mistake) and it took forever to do. The Evil Queen and 7 dwarfs are iron on patches. I do not have an embroidery machine.

I bought this dress from Target and added the applique.

CIMG4805.jpg


The kids did the Albatross Pirate Adventure. I bought dd a pair of shorts from Target and added the pirate fabric on the bottom and made her an easy hair accessory.

Epirate.jpg


Gpirate.jpg


DS's Yoda is an iron on patch, but a girl told him she thought it was a cool shirt and asked him where he got it. She couldn't tell it was an iron on patch.
sww1.jpg


On this shirt, I had intended on doing one more layer of the floral pattern, but I thought the shirt was long enough AND most importantly - it was midnight when I finally finished this and we were leaving the next morning. :rotfl2:
I thought the 7 dwarfs would have looked better on the purple, but I didn't have enough fabric.

I am making another disser 3 applique Mickey shirts for her kids. It's a surprise, though. I am going to send them to her next week.

Fantastic! I love the drawfs one. so cute. Great job

I'm loving all the Sleeping Beauty sets!! Here's mine using a pillowcase for the top. It doesn't have the collar, but the skirt has the pepulum.

emcreative, Here'e the tute on my blog for a double layer stripwork skirt - you could easily make it one layer though with or without a ruffle. I can talk you through any modifications if you need me to. ;)

http://my-sweet-sunshine.blogspot.com/2009/05/okey-dokey.html

Here's a picture of a stripwork and a simple skirt too. Don't know what your fabrics are, but the second skirt might work and it is super easy to make.

Love the skirts. SB skirt is awesome.

hi everyone, I am totally new here. we are headed to Disney in Oct and I really want to get my daughter a beautiful cinderella dress or snow white. we are going to do cindy's castle for her birthday (she turns 4 when we are there!!) and want to get her a dress for that dinner. can anyone point me to a person or website. all these outfits on this thread are amazing!! I'm so jealous that you all can do this stuff. it's beautiful.

WELCOME!!

Opinions please!!!

I made a skirt last year and loved how it came out. Not long after I tried a second with different fabric and it still sits unfinished because I wasn't happy with how it was looking. Since then I haven't tried again so I decided to try to see if I could. I'm just not sure about it. In some ways, I like it but it's just not quite what I was hoping for. Here's the first one I made:

tink_frills1.jpg


Here's the newest (shown over a pettiskirt):

pink_frills2.jpg


The first skirt was a smaller size than the latest so I'm thinking the difference in length is what I'm reacting too. I also think maybe the pinks of the fabrics I used are too much the same tone so there's not enough contrast for visual interest.

I'd love your honest critique of this skirt and any ideas for what I might do to improve on it.

THANKS! :grouphug:

I love them both. It seems like the layers are a bit too long (for me personally) but it still looks great. What if you did some sort of applique in the little open space at the bottom in a darker pink or contrasting color?

I may not have posted it. It was about this time last summer. I made 4 princess sets using pillowcases and got some of Emily's friends to model them together. I had bling and matching bows made for them all too. (They were all the first appliques I did on my new machine. I tested my new Kenmore on these. ;) )

OMG Those are all so darn cute! I really want to make a really great outfit like that one of these days. My stuff is so simple compared to these!

Steph, I have a pattern i made for the BAB, I can scan it and send it to ya. But really I just added some extra room on the sides for the tops I have the directions I wrote somewhere, maybe I will do a tute and post it later after I finish the two outfits I have to make today.

I did one for a halter top and skirt, and pants. I have posted the pictures a few days back.
 
I got a diagnosis on my machine. It has to go in to be fixed. The bobbin rataining clip is damaged, according to customer support at singer. It is under warranty, but i have to ship it in. :mad:
 
I made this one:
IMG_0652.jpg

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.

Very cute, I love seeing how versatile that pattern is!

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.

Whoo HOO! I found an AG once at a thrift shop years ago, but she was definitely not new in her box lol (bought her anyway and now dd gets to play with her sometimes). Bet Georgia was thrilled ! ! !

Chucks-

If at all possible I would try on the baby chucks. They can be a tight fit with the upper foot. When my girls were little chucks were always tricky to get the perfect size. I know find they run a little big on my oldest who is five. That being said . . . I LOVE chucks!!!! They are awesomely cute and go with everything. LOL JC Penny is where I buy the girls black low tops. Journey's for Kids is another good place to buy this seasons colors.

Shannon, Sophee just walked by and said ohhhhhhhhhh where is Soapie's Sleeping Beauty dress? LOL

I made a sleeveless SB dress for the fancy shmancy tea party last September. I modified one of the commercial patterns as well.

I also agree you can do a lot with the Simply Sweet pattern. The sky is the limit when you use your imagination.

Wow. . . stunning!

Day 2, Sunday, we went to DHS to STAR WARS WEEKENDS!!!!! Patrick was looking forward to this all year!

Waiting in line to meet an Ewok...not sure who...but he was short and hairy!:lmao:

We had lunch at Sci-Fi...our new favorite place to eat...if you ever go...get the soup...soooo good and not too much!

IMG_0785.jpg


Then we waited in the world's longest line for this guy...

IMG_0819.jpg


But I liked him a lot!!!!



Thanks to whoever came up with the shorts out of the pillow panels...Patrick loves them!!! Katie's dress got a lot of attention because they are a reproduction of the sheets most of us Star Wars geeks had as kids....we kept hearing..."Hey! She's wearing my sheets!" :rotfl2:

Very cute, we love Sci Fi too! That place is so much fun. =)

You better get to sewing! I'm happy to answer any questions!




That is TOO CUTE! I think I need to make one for AbbyGrace. She didn't like the idea that this one wasn't for her. I had to sneak it out of the house to mail it!

I have ALWAYS loved that Sleeping Beauty, Aimee! The ruffles on the front :lovestruc:lovestruc:lovestruc Just beautiful!

Ok, I've got pics uploading - let's see if they're ready.

I finished up this Ariel Vida this afternoon. This is for AbbyGrace's trip that is coming up.

IMG_0740.jpg


IMG_0741.jpg

LOVE it! I may have to CASE this, assuming I ever applique lol!

And the last for now...because this thing is toooo slow for me! (And I hear Buckley whinning downstairs....he must want to move again.)

We went to MK this day...recycles for the boys and Katie too really...her outfit was from her birthday, only for her birthday she had a pair of pant with "TINK" down one leg...we decided that would be too hot for FL in June!:rotfl:

Here they are waiting on the morning bus...aren't they all so cool in their new sunglasses and new fans "Tinker Bell" brought them!

Speaking of Tinker Bell...she was so fun!

Do you all think that the Ariel one is too short as a dress? It seems a weird length, too short for a dress but too long for anything besides crop pants and it will be too hot in Sept for those.

Are there any tutorials out there for layering ruffles? I love the look and I want to make sure I do it correctly, or at least efficiently!

Thanks!


Love them both, and I think the length is fine as is.
 
Yes thankfully the spots are healing we now have fading brown patches. I know she is not contagious anymore but her poor skin looks so bad still I still don't want to take her out. Gotta love eczema in the florida humidity LOL.

Hey Cindy,
I was wondering if Morgan had the chicken pox vaccine. Because Grace had the vaccine and I am almost positive she has had chicken pox all week. I took her to the doctor's office and the nurse came to the car to look at it. She said to treat it as chicken pox because it is probbaly a mild case. They were on her tummy and under her arms mostly. She had a couple on her face and a few on her arms and legs. None on her back or scalp and she didn't scratch. She never had fever and some were clear blisters and others looked like a pimple. Most have scabbed over she has one left that hasn't yet. The nurse told me she should be better by her birthday party tomorrow night. I pray she is. I just am not sure if it has been the chicken pox or not. They looked exactly like Courtney's did when she had them. But Courtney was covered from head to toe and even in her mouth and she scratched constantly. Grace didn't seem bothered at all. I am glad Morgan is doing better.

Just wanted to say hey to everyone. I miss seeing you ladies! I thought about you a few days ago and thought I would stop by and say hello. :) Someone said I must have been a disboutiquer because I used the word cased talking about using someones idea about monogramming Gymboree. So I thought I would stop by say hi and give you ladies and gent an update.

We ended up canceling our summer vacation to Disney because of the uncertainty of everything going on here. We currently have 3 foster kiddos two we have had for a while the brothers we got one of back in July and then the other came in Oct. Looks like they will be going to an aunt that wants both the boys and I think it will be a really good fit for everyone involved. :goodvibes

We have been blessed though and I think this time it is finally for real a blessing for our family as well as the child. We were chosen to adopt a little boy back in Feb and we will be getting placement of him sometime next week. He has been at our home pretty much non stop for the past 2 months. He will be 18m old next week and he is the most precious little boy on the planet. :goodvibes I actually heard about him last July and I knew in my heart he was my son and all I can say is God led him to our home because it was completely his steering because of all the wows that got him to us. We should finalize on his adoption in Nov for National adoption day! We have had his baby sister since March she is 7 months old and to say the least our little princess. We have a final hearing in Oct and she will be free for adoption hopefully by Jan or Feb. Possibly sooner if the judge decides to waive some things which would be magical but I am not expecting it.

Things should significantly slow down here and I will have lots more time on my hands once the boys leave probably in the next 2 months. Then I can get back to sewing and life as we knew it pre foster care! :woohoo: Maybe then I will get to come back and see all you ladies and gent on a daily basis again! I miss seeing all your beautiful creations! :goodvibes

Anyway just wanted to say hi! Hope to get a chance to check back in soon! :)
 
Hi all!!

I have the ycmt pattern and I like it, but I hear such good things about the easy fits, I want to see if it is worth it to purchase those too. Thanks!!

That sucks! I am so sorry. I hope they fix it quickly. I was so upset when I had to send my machine back last week.

Steph-

Meghan and Hannah look close to the same size. What size did you use for the Emma top? How is the length on it? I want to make on for Hannah but I am not sure if I should go with the 5/6 width and 7/8 length.

Yes she had the vaccine. I was starting to worry when I saw how bad it was and I pulled her shot record out and that was the first shot she got in the US
If this was a "mild" case , I DO NOT want to see a "bad" case. She started with just a few small spots some scabbed over and then we got more. (The scabbing could have been from her scratching) I would say about 90% of her body was covered. Scalp to the bottom of her feet.
 
Hi All! I am quite crafty, but don't really sew. However, I came across this Mickey scarf, and really want to learn how to make one for our upcoming December trip. I PM'd the poster, but haven't heard back any details. Do any of ya'll have suggestions on how to make one of these? Do you think that she made the whole scarf or just did the applique?

Um...what everyone else said. You could search the internet for fleece scarf instructions then just add the Mickey detail yourself. I'd never seen those scarves, they're pretty cute.

For those of you who have been or know, what are the characters dressed in during October? We are going Oct1-6 and I am wondering if they are going to be in their normal dress attire. I was thinking they would only be in their Halloween attire at MNSSHP. But are the parks decorated for Halloween? Just trying to get an idea of what it is going to be like! Thanks!

You know the parks are really decorated for "fall" not really halloween. Nothing cob webby or anything. Just lots of pumpkins and corn stalks, bales of hay etc.. The characters only wear costumes to the party and they are not scary costumes. Piglet is usually a flower. ;)

Still no baby. DH is working all weekend so I'm hoping to finish up Littles 4th of July outfit and actually post something here instead of just oohing and ahhhing over everyone elses stuff. LOL. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
...t.

I made the 5/6 and didn't alter it at all. It is plenty long enough and it fits around perfectly. I am not sure how much they grow around (at least it just seems my kids grow up, not out). I am making one for a 5 year old and her chest measurement is exactly the same as Megan's so I am making the same size.

I have the ycmt pattern and I like it, but I hear such good things about the easy fits, I want to see if it is worth it to purchase those too. Thanks!!

I have both patterns and really only use the easy fits. The ruffle capri/pants patern have 2 pattern pieces for the legs. A front and a back ;) So you have a rise in the pants. KWIM? The easy fits only have 1 pattern piece that works for both legs. You can wear them backwards and not know it ;) I can whip up a pair of easy fits in less than a half hour. The ruffled caprsi take a little longer especially if you add more than 1 row of ruffles.

These are easy fits-------------------------These are the ruffled capris.

You rock!! Thanks so much! I totally KWYM :-))) about the rise. I also think the Easy fits look a little wider than the ruffled (and I like that)! Thanks so much!!
