It's a Children's Place outfit...sometimes you can find decently made stuff there...sometimes it's garbage. But the top is a yellow and pink paisley print chiffon-y ruffle-y top...the skirt is a dark pink. It's not a bad outfit per se...I was just more going for the preppy plaid look...or the patchwork bermuda shorts and a polo...y'know. Preppy cute.
i'm just bossy. I need to be in charge of clothes.
Of course I had to go to the Children's Place site to see if I could find it! But, I didn't see it there! It sounds pretty, but not at all what you had pictured, I understand that!
We have a timeshare at Lake Tahoe so we bought the kids the book about "Tahoe Tessie" (the monster of Lake Tahoe) they love it! Of course Tessie is very cute and non-threatening.
My little Tessie is very cute and non-threatening too. Well, unless she is mad, then she can be pretty threatening!!!
I think Tessa and I NEED that book!
Thank you all for the support with Emily. For all. Hopefully I can keep up with this thread I am already 6 pages behind on this one. And about 20 on the other one.
I'm glad it is going well with Emily. Poor little girl!
Good news. My neighbor was kind enough to let me use her Singer so progress continues!!!
YES! DH agreed to go tonight to get a new machine - LOVE HIM
YEAH!!!! Give that DH a big hug!
Ok. So I am finally coming out of lurkdom here to say that you guys are awesome !!!!!!! You have inspired me to begin sewing for our Nov. trip to WDW. I have sewn in the past but noting like you guys! I bought a new singer because mine was literally 50 years old and could only do straight stiches. I got the simply sweet jumper pattern from YCMT and am trying it on some non-disney fabric first with a stripwork skirt. Wish me luck!
I will post pics if it comes out at all decent!
and good luck! We cant' wait to see your pictures! And, that is a good pattern you got!
Lesson learned: When trying outfits on before your trip, take them back off again! DD's Alice in Wonderland dress, which we play in all the time, now needs repairs. A 'monster' came out and while we were roughhousing, "rrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiipppppppppp" as the skirt tore away from the bodice for about 8 inches. Now it's a belly-button peekaboo Alice dress! Back to the sewing machine!
Deb, 50 hours away from arrival at WDW!
Oh no!! Good think you can fix it though!!!
FIFTY HOURS!!! How exciting!!!!
I looove this! It is so feminine. I want to CASE it...haha...I've never even seen the aristocats but I think that little kitty is adorable.
WHAT?
You need to see it!! The kitty is named Marie, she's so cute!!! Marie is one of Lydia's favorite characters. We are hoping to meet her in May.
I finally finished the doll last night. I hate when I have to sew something I don't want to. I just wasn't in the mood to make this doll, but I was supposed to make it for Christmas so...
Ball gown side:
Working dress side:
Somewhat creepy shot of the whole doll so
I'm not entirely happy with it. The faces are odd, but I don't embroider so they'll do. The ruffles happened because I had the dresses together and then found out that they were too short. I wasn't about to rip it apart & do it again esp. since I'd already done both sets of sleeves twice. I do like the hair though. Much better than the yarn hair I tried last time.
I love it!!! I have always wanted one of those dolls!
Seriously, that is just ridiculous. Hey my friend just emailed me. We had a half day Thursday. So she wistfully starts looking up stuff about warm places and you'll never believe it. The book a 3 day vacation for the next day!!!! She somehow packed everything that night and they flew out the next morning at 6 am to the Gulf of Mexico. Wow I am impressed. 
So....keep away from the computer....just think how warm you will be in May in FL!!!!!! 
Wow!!
That would be wonderful to be able to do!!!
I hope it is warm in May, usually when my whole family goes, it's quite chilly!
My parents were down the week before we went last year, and told us how hot it was. The DAY we arrived it got cold! And stayed pretty chilly our entire two weeks there!
I have looked on the simplicity site, sewingpatterns.com, patternreview.com, and google. I cant find it.
I know that Crystal found it for you, (Yeah Crystal!)but next time you are trying to find a specific pattern number, you can go to the website and they have a pattern search box where you can put the number.
I am going to a birthday party in an hour. I remembered (today at noon!!) that we missed a little girls birthday party back in October - she will be at the party today. Her parents always get my kids something for their birthday. It was too late for me to run out and get her something, so I went through my fabric stash hoping to make her a little sundress. Most of my stash is holiday fabrics!! I was able to come up with this in just under 2 hours...
It's not nearly as full as I normally make - I wanted to make sure I had enough fabric left to make DD a summer top. For DD's I'll probably add a navy sash at the waist and make the straps navy too. I'm thinking this one is a little plain, but nothing I can do about it now. No navy fabric in the stash!!
I really like it!!! I think it looks cute just like it is!! Very nautical!
It looks like you had a great time Leslie!! That bunk bed is cool!
WHAT a great idea! I love that!!!!
The last picture reminds me of that cartoon "Cat Dog"
Cat dog, cat dog... All alone in the world is a little cat dog!!!
Such an odd show!
uh, je m'apelle Jeanne...probably can't even spell in french anymore either. I remember I used to read books in french and write reports in french 
but you know what, I was also thin back then and went out with friends and slept in on weekends....

THANKS!!!
