I am a Bama fan all the way. I probably won't do to much seeing as I don't have a whole lot of time. 
On top of my stuff I also need to get 4 shirts done for someone else. Has anyone by chance seen any crimson and white polka dot?

Lilo dress for Ohana Best Friends breakfast:
Minnie-inspired stripwork jumper:
Very impressive! I have always wanted to try a Feliz. Maybe I should try the doll version first. I have the pattern and I'm sure based on the doll's measurement and smallest pattern size I might be able to sketch something out as well. That way I could figure out if I actually wanted to make my dd the full size version or not. The little frogs are so cute! You did a fantastic job!D~
You have inspired me to procrastinate on the embroidery on the t-shirt all day to make this:
No, her dress is far from perfect, but I just DREW it! I am pretty happy with the overall dress and now I am ready to make the matching doll dresses to the big girl Feliz I am going to start tomorrow.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Everything is adorable! In the interest of not going over my 25 pic limit I just kept up my personal favorites. I really need to case your case -- that is so sweet and I love black and white together. I love the plaid shorts set for your ds too.WARNING: picture overload ahead!
Hi everyone!
I have been SO busy sewing for our upcoming trip (but I have been religiously reading the thread...just not commenting!) I have been SO inspired by you all - I would have never thought to 'frankenpattern'if it hadn't been for you all...so, thank you!
In the interest of moving things along, I thought I'd post a few of my customs that I've been slaving away on for the past few months:
Minnie-inspired stripwork jumper:
POTC-inspired dress (wish I didn't photograph this on a black background!):
POTC-inspired bowling shirt for DS:
Jessie-inspired SS:
Mickey tee & matching Madras plaid shorts:
ruffle capris and SS (totally CASEd from someone on here -thanks!)
Mickey tie & suspenders tee for DS (also making one for DH!)
I've also made several other outfits that I haven't posted yet...I'll have to add those soon! I'm WHOOPED...but loving creating all these things for my kids.
Don't fall in love just yet -- every other site I looked at that had nude would say "not in toddler sizes." This is why I highly advise calling them first to verify. I have a feeling they don't really have nude in toddler sizes.OMG! I think I
He has gone fishing all summer with dh and they fish for Catfish, so I guess that is his interest in being a catfish. But really, couldn't he be something that's a little less intense for me to make? I think a Gecko would be easier than a catfish and he's into geckos as they have one as a class pet, so I may do a little research and see if that would be more feasible for me to make and then suggest it -- I will not suggest it at all if it's too hard to make!

Incredibles tees for both DH & DS (hand-embroidered...that was exhausting!):
I want all of us to wear the Incredibles Shirts since we have the right amount of kids all in the right order
IMO, one can never have enough cute burp cloths. My friend gave me some simple cloth diapers with ribbons sewn on them and I LOVED LOVED LOVED them. There are so many tuts for burp cloths now that I'm sure there are better ones out there. I made some nicer ones (still using cloth diapers) for an acquaintance recently and plan on making some for ds's teacher who is due in November. Easy to make, cute and very well used.
I was going to suggest a onesie dress too! We made a bunch of the burp cloths for DD's teacher last year. I also made a couple of reversible rompers for the baby using CarlaC's pattern. But they wouldn't be great for colder weather. Last year when I needed a winter time baby gift, I found some plain, long sleeved sleep and play outfits. I embroidered the baby's name onto the front and they turned out great. You could also applique some t-shirts in a slightly bigger size like 12 months that the mom could look forward to using when the baby grows a bit. You get so many gifts in newborn and 3/6 month sizes. I always liked getting a few things that were bigger and I could look forward to using a little later.
The one on Youcanmakethis is a good tut for the burp cloths. We used that two years ago when DD's 4th grade teacher was expecting. DD's teacher in 3rd grade, 4th grade and 5th grade all had babies her year!
Everything you posted is super! I love all of it. I can't wait to see what else you've made. I don't know if I can pick favorites but I really like the Mickey tie shirt and the Jessie dress and the Prince Charming outfits. You are going to get so much attention everywhere you go at Disney! I may have to case that Jessie dress. I have some really cute cow print material that I have been saving.WARNING: picture overload ahead!

!! LOVE the lilo dress, how did you do the leaves? Great work!
I totally agree that gifts of clothing do NOT need to be for immediate use. I received so many things that my kids wore one or not at all b/c we had too much in the small sizes.
I don't know.
Questionable or not, I think I would call the family and ask for the $$ back. You may not get it, but at least they know that it's not a secret. Or the child could still have it in his school possessions. Have you asked school to check his things there?
She also likes arts and crafts and reading. I was going to make her an eye spy and get her some books, but for some reason I was so not in the mood to do an eye spy bag. So I came up with this:
I saw where someone said a Tee with the babies name on it or a larger size tee with applique on it...it inspired this idea...a 12 mos. tee witht he name or initial on it with a lil note saying to take the babeis picture each month i the tee then they can make a collage of the pix to make a 1st b'day party invite with...and baby girl can wear the tee with a petti! the petti can be your 1st b'day gift to the baby! i gotta do this now...hehe
Reversible tote bag and art supplies:
Here is the bag reversed -- I got her a sketch pad, paint book, journal and pencil roll:
Here is the pencil roll (npt thrilled with the red binding but didn't feel like making my own and had this on hand -- red is in the fabric too):
And open and filled with twistable colored pencils as I didn't want to have to worry about her having to have a sharpener (I also put a few paint brushes in for her paint book):
