That turned out really cute!
I managed to make two Jessie dresses this week...
And my favorite part... I lined the bodice in Cow... LOL It's a fact - I'd be the only one who felt that it completed an outfit.
Now I'm on to the BG wallets... I finished Tink and Ariel this morning, and nearly half done with HP... I have the Star Wars and Mickey all cut out and ready to sew up tomorrow morning.

I don't know if any of you have an H&M store near you. I went in one yesterday and saw that they had t-shirt dresses for little girls in size 2 through 8 for $4.95. They had a red Minnie polka dot and a pink Minnie polka dot with plenty of space on the front for appliques. I wanted to buy one for my little niece but the line was so long and my two girls were impatient to go and have lunch. But I thought I'd pass this tip along. The dresses were adorable with a little ruffle on the bottom and another small ruffle at the top.
Over the summer one of the Kindergarten teachers ( also a HUGE Disney fan) called me and asked if she brought me the fabric would I make her curtains for her class room. Well the fabric was actually sheets. She told me I could keep the scraps that she would not need them. So my 8 yr old came to me today and asked if she could sew something so I said sure let me embroider for ya first and then I will teach you the art of gathering and you can add the gather to the top. Here is her/our finished product with the curtain/sheet scraps:
I am so excited, after all the lurking I finally have something to share.
I have not sewn in years due to severe RA, so it was really challenging. My very good friend came over this morning and cut the bottom as I could not use the cutter. Otherwise it did it all!
I am thrilled she wont have to wear plan b! hmmm what shall I attempt next

went to the Disney Store today to stock up on GC for the Big Gives and found a few pixie dust items on sale!

I just bought that fabric in two other colors today! I got one as a remnant and one was on clearance for $2 yard. I was thinking of trying a pillow case dress or shirt with the remnant (it's 34 inches). I think any tyoe of twirl skirt would be cute to -- but neither of my ideas are sundresses
I LOVE it! Can your dd do a tut for how it was made? Is the top part made out of a knit shirt? Please expalin or show a super large pic. I really, really like this!
I swear I had two other things quoted. I really am senile. I guess that's what happens when you're in your mid 40's!
The pattern is from YCMT. It is the halter dress or something like that. When the site is back up, I can tell you the correct name. I added all the ruffles to the underskirt and cut out the top back layer. I wanted to make it like a bustle, but couldn't make it work. I also did not like the way the straps made the front bunch up, so I added the button holes to thread the straps through. I made this quite a few years ago now, but it remains a favorite. I dubbed it "Grandma's Parlor."
Here are a few pics...
I also made it as a skirt and t-shirt.... I did 2 tops for this buyer, but don't have a pic of the halter top with the silhouette on it.
3rd project ( aka dress 1 of 14 for our disney trip this summer) Minnie dot peasant dress...just waiting on my local store to get some wonder under or something like it so I can try Heathers Sue's applique tut...and add Minnie head. This trip is also a surpirse so I will have to wait until we are closer and I can start packing or the Minnie head will be a dead giveaway..
I think I may get out my seam ripper and take the ribbon off and move it down so its not on the elastic casing...it takes away the dresses ability to stretch in that area. Maybe line it up right under it. Any suggestions???
Not sure if it got missed ... and I figure reposting will only help move us along
I need to order shirts for a BigGive ... Hanes.com is having a sale and I was wondering if anyone has used their shirts for iron-on designs? Are they true to size?
I need 2 5T shirts ... I was going to order size S (6-8) rather than XS (2-4) ... what do you think?
Mens & Women's ... are they true to size?
TIA!
Hey everyone!
Happy Easter!!...(a bit early but I may not get on here tomorrow so...
TMTQ..but I love everything that has been posted over the last couple of days.
D, love the Jessie dresses and the cow print lining. Very cute.
I have been a little busy and in an effort to help us get to 250 here are a few photo's of my 2nd and 3rd projects.
2nd project ever...Pillow case mini dress with ruffle/easy fit pants....DD doesn't like it she says it looks like a clown suite....I think it was a little to colorful or maybe its the "dots" In hinds sight I could have used the solid fabric for the main part of the pants and the dots for the cuff. That would have broken it up a little.... oh well...I won't force her to wear it...I promise

I saw the earlier discussion about the princess dresses at the Princess meals. My girls were never interested in wearing a princess dress so this is what they were last time we did a princess meal.
Younger DD just looked at the pictures and said that she looks like she is wearing clown pants.
Here is another outfit that I made for the girls to wear while we were at Disney on that trip.
Now that my girls are a couple of years older, they would NEVER wear either one of those outfits. For the one day we did there in December, they were willing to wear tie dye shirts but that was it!
okay helping us move along.
Here are some Mickey Head Shirts for a pixie dusting I am doing
Here is DDs entire outfit
and a skirt I made for myself. I love this fabric. I am wearing a yellow tank top with it and either a cardigan or if I can find the denim jacket I want to wear.
Loving all the stuff being posted tonite.
