Hello all, just got back from Disneyland and had a terrific time. It was a little busy there last week, but we had a terrific time and even did my first Mickey Halloween Party, which was a blast!
Caralyn817-I missed getting to see your hairbows while they were posted and I am sad that I missed itI would love to see them, I am sorry a misunderstanding is keeping you from posting. BTW, I tried making bows once, and it was not easy at all, I have a lot of admiration for those of you that can make them.
Purple Ears- I love the quilt you made. What a super special gift...sending prayers to the one going through chemo...
After reading the Dis boards and finding out how much candy you got when you went to the MHP, I decided to make a backpack to carry it all in. I ordered a pattern from Posh Patterns, but unfortunately I wasn't paying attention and it wasn't an instant download. Luckly it shipped really fast, and I got it two days before we left for disney. So, the night before, I threw this bag together, I think it turned out really cute, and it held all the candy perfectly!
Welcome back! Glad to hear that you had a great time! The backpack turned out nicely. It's impressive that you got it done the night before you leave!
I second what you said regarding bows from Caralyn. I can't do bows to save my life and I admire people who can.
Thanks for the prayers for my aunt.
Thanks D. On some levels it is easier to do a quilt - only straight lines needed!
do i have a bust.......not really!I'm a 32C in bra size.
the dress pattern I was hoping to use goes upto age 10, its the "ginger" top/dress pattern on the "youcanmakethis" site.
I'm a uk 8/10 which I think is a us 4/6. I'm not straight up and down, my hips have gone a lot bigger since having the 2 kids. I'm 5ft 8 so would definately need to lengthen the skirt and the bodice but this design is elasticated at the back rather than button or zips so its not like I would have to have it super perfect fitting, its also one where you tie it like a halter neck so again I don't need perfect straps and the skirt is just a full skirt so thats not fitted siether. just need the proportions of the bodice etc.
does that make sense???
I would say it would be difficult to upsize a child's pattern to an adult pattern. The curves on a woman just makes it a lot more challenging. It is probably easier to find a woman's pattern in a similar style.
Love this quiltvery very special.
Thanks everyone on the kind comments on the quilt. I hope she will feel our well wishes as she continues her treatment.
We are not allowed to sell here. Your best bet is to look at people's signature for their etsy shop.
These are a couple of outfits for a litttle friend of mine.
Beautiful outfits! I am sure your little friend is very pleased to receive the outfits!
Hi everyone.
So I just finished my first ever attempt at sewing and LOVED it!! I've been a long time lurker to these threads and always said I'd try it but never have!
Anyway I picked up some material from a local fabric shop and chose a pattern! Here's the results as modeled by my little princess!
I'm pretty pleased, I think it's wearable and everything!!
So I'm doing a second practice piece and I've ordered my Disney fabric!! Nowhere in the uk seems to have the designs available in the us so I ended up ordering from eBay USA and having it shipped over!! Believe it or not compared to what we pay over here it wasn't that bad even with shipping!! The wait is going to kill me!!!
Sorry for posting non-Disney pics but I wanted to share! After looking at all of your beautiful creations over the last few years I was inspired by all of you to just go for it and try out sewing!! I think you may have all helped me find something new to love!!!
You did a great job on the dress! Your model is super cute. Don't apologize for non-Disney sewing projects - we like to see all kinds of projects around here (yes, even birthday cakes!). I can't wait to see what else you make. I understand that fabric in the UK is rather expensive. I hope you will get your fabric soon and start creating!
Not that I actually get to decide anyway. 
, but I did get to make the bow ties and sashes and the Jr bridesmaid and flower girl dresses.
You are going to be an incredible seamstress! Keep up the fabulous work!
