I recently used cording for a Jessie dress for DD6. I sewed it on with a wide but narrow zigzag stitch, but first drew on the design with chalk which helped tremendously. Oh, and I had to go really, really slow as it curved.

I love this! I just completed my second Grace and now this one is on the list too!

NO, it's a Vogue pattern and its all one piece.

The shirts were made with heat transfer vinyl using my cricut and the shorts were made with the Coachella pattern by Striped Swallow Designs

How cute are those shorts!!! Love them!

Does anyone have suggestions on how to make wizard robes? I can buy them for $45-60 (I want decent ones) but I'd like to try and save more money. My daughter (8, size 10) wants to be hermione for Halloween, at MK.
Saving money because I thik we are taking her to wizard ing world too! Adding it on. In any event anyone have suggestions? Thanks!

Ps. I don't want to make one out of a big t shirt, or some other cheat I want it to be as authentic as possible under the price of the official ones.

Oe more general sewing question. I am not that experienced. (Obviously lol) I just did my daughters measurements, and she's all over the size chart. I don't know which size to buy. She is 52 inches tall.
Chest 28 waist (high waist, the design I want is between regular and empire) 26 actual waist/biggest part of belly 30 hips 31.

Of course her belly measurement is the one out of size. I THINK wiht a higher waisted dress it won't be a problem, she wears a 10 in dresses, they are never too tight in the waist. I don't know if she's extra bloated or not but I can't figure this out! As with clothes in the store plus size is too big and I see her between an 8 and a 12 plus on the charts for simplicity.

Do I buy the big size and try to cut it down? For her Halloween anna dress I made the size 8 fit her by measuring and cutting bigger, is there an easier way?


Thanks so much!

My mom made my daughter's "apron skirt. She got the idea online and added a lil ruffle to a tank top and my daughterloved it. So many people stopped us and MK to ask where we got it.
The 2nd outfit was a bday outfit she wanted an Anna dress but we needed to make it August humid weather friendly. So my mom did her "magic" and made a cute summer version of Anna's dress.

I don't have suggestions for the robe but I would say go by the chest measurement for the size. I would then measure the waist on the pattern to decide if it is needs any alterations (remember to take out the seam allowances). Unless it is a close fitting item, it is likely that no changes are needed. Good luck!

I completed a stroller quilt for DS a couple of weeks ago. The tabs on the sides are for attaching it to the stroller.

That's really neat! I think now I have another project before our December trip. Lol.
Is there a pattern or online tutorial you used for measurements?

So I need some help....

I just finished a new cotton Sofia inspired dress. My DD wore it to school last week (she was so proud) and played outside in it. It didn't get muddy but did get covered in "dirt". And I can't seem to get it out!! So far I've washed in Tide and soaked in oxiclean. Any other tips? It is cotton... I think it is called fairy frost by michael miller. It's covered in glitter and is machine washable.

I just measured the stroller and determined the size of the quilt. I used 4" by 4" squares (so the finished squares are 3.5" by 3.5") and a 2" border.

I would try to soak it overnight but otherwise I don't have any tricks. Good luck!
