Amazing dress. I only wish I could do something like that someday.

I really like how this came out

This came out really cute. Actually, I liked it the first time too

Nice job!

I made these minnie korkers to wear on crocs. What do you all think about these? Please give me your honest opinion. I was also thinking about making bows to go on them as well.

I love these. Are they the red 'alice' shoes? I just got a pair for DD and am waiting for delivery.

Okay, some drama today. My husband walked downstairs this morning to two men in the house. VERY stressful. Called the police, got the report - got a very good finger/hand print.

Glad everyone is okay! Really nice outfit, you guys are going to have os much fun

Thank you for all of the compliments! I think I am happy with it now. After a little tweeking here is the final result:

Adorable!! Simply adorable!!

Also I know I JUST read about directions to make an easy drawstring bag... but now I cant seem to find the post with the link, if you remember could you point me that way?

Thanks!!

I found this link the other day while searching. It has a bunch of drawstring tutorials. The hardest at the top and the easiest is down at the bottom of the page. I think I might tackle one for my oldest dd.

Thank you for showing me that I can make an applique too!! I never thought I could do it. So here is the 5th pillowcase dress I have made for my Daughter with my very first applique.

So cute! You did a great job!!!

Love the korkers! Make sure to scotchguard them real good. They get dirty quick on shoes. Ask me how I know.

But I did get in some sewing time to relax me. I started by making Martina a dress, but it was way too short for my style, so I converted it into a shirt for Chiannna. I will remake martinas dress, only a lot longer. A positive to having 4 daughters I guess

Here it is; she will wear to 1900 park fair

Cute stuff! Scary about the men downstairs. I would have freaked out!!! Did they take anything?

I just love this skirt!

Thanks for the links to the drawstring bags, I think i will be able to get those done tnnight once my little pirates ever fall asleep

I have another question.
I need to make my daughter something "piratey" to wear, it needs to be comfy because she will be wearing for 15 hours while buckled into her 5 point carseat (she is 4 years old)

I am leaning towards making her a corset top to go over a t-shirt, but have also debated doing a peasant style top, although they always seem bunchy at her armpits and she complains they "itch"

I cannot/will not go out and buy new fabrics LOL and here is the fabrics I have to work with that I think coordinate together enough to work, I have it laid out as sort of how I'd do the Corset top, but am unsure what to use as the ruffle.

any ideas?

Love 'em!!

 

[Twins+2more]

OH my goodness..how scary! Glad that everyone is OK. I assume the two men ran away when they saw your dh? I hope the police is able to find them!

They did get scared and run. the goof balls were nice enough to leave a crisp fingerprint on the window too. so when they dusted it came up strong and clear. We feel very violated. Wednesday ADT is installing an alarm and we bought more locks. I just hate that my husband leaves out of town on the week days. We are going to take the CCW (carring a consealed weapon) saftey course and get a pistol for safety. Im home alone with the 4 girls all by myself. I know to keep it safe, locked, separate, and in a safe. I know I woulnt sleep that well tonight.

Hi, twins+2more--love your outfit, can you share what pattern the top came from.
Thanks.

the top was actually a dress, but the top bodice was HUGE and the skirt part was super short. IT is pattern M5838 McCall's (6 great looks one easy pattern) Im making another dress for Martina but it will be a halter style from the same pattern. Will post when and If it gets done.

Honestly, for 15 hours in the car, I'd go with something super comfy like a pair of cotton shorts and a t-shirt. I would save the super cute corset outfit for later.

Thanks for the ideas, I TOTALLY get your point but...


We are going on a pirate adventure as we drive, so thats why we need pirate clothes, I have the boys covered but I don't have anything for a Pirate~Princess We are making the most of our Pirate road trip and will be stopping for alot of pictures along the way so I want her dressed cute.. (does that make me sound awful?) and really it will be 6 1/2 hours one day and the rest the next. If I have enough fabric I might try two tops.. I just can't decide. She will be wearing Black stretch pants for the bottom that has silver sparkles. Oh and we are traveling from Minnesota to Tennesee so shorts to start won't really work with our snowy weather we currently have

I was thinking the same thing but you worded it much better than I could. After 15 hours of travel, I think you would be headed to bed so why get dressed up? We are from New York and have drove to Disney twice and honestly, I left my kids in their pajamas.

But if you want an answer, I (obviously) am a corset top fan. I like to be matchy, matchy so I would do a black ruffle. It wouldn't be very comfortable though, wrapped up in a corset/tube top, with a shirt under it and a 5 point harness over it. Either way, I am sure it will turn out great.

 

[Haganfam5]

Okay, I get it. Just read your post. We must have posted at the same time. I guess we are all so used to talking about Disney, I thought that's where you were all headed.

 

[Tracie]

I know I should, but I can't remember who needed iron on designs of Capt Hook and I'm too lazy to go back and look!

Here are two

I'm still looking for a good image of his hook

Thanks!! I WISH we were going to Disney... But since that is out of the question we are just going to meet my parents in Nashville for Easter

I finished my first Nap Sack (I think thats what its called?) TOTALLY messed it up, sewing one wrong side and right side together, but I'm not going to pick it out now and I didnt notice it until it was all finished and I went to put it on him and couldn't read the writting so had to turn it around OOPS LOL it's for my younger son. he's also showing off his pirate outfit. It was actually my older son's halloween costume in 2006.

I think those are FABULOUS!!! You are so clever Mindy...guess what, I might try to make a bow this week.

That was me!!! Thank you so much!! I LOVE the second one with Hook and Peter shadowed behind! Awesome! You are just too sweet to go and do that for me.

I did a search on the Disigns board and pretty much found nothing. I will post pics when I make the shirt. Which should be soon because I have the shirt and the iron on stuff to make it. I like the original one you posted so I have to decide now. Thanks again!!!

Thank you for all of the compliments! I think I am happy with it now. After a little tweeking here is the final result:

Wow, beautiful! Obviously its been customized but did you use a pattern for the basic design? DD3 wants a Sleeping Beauty dress for formal night on the cruise. The doll she has is wearing a dress similiar to yours (in pink) and of course she wants it to look just like doll's dress.

 

[t-beri]

WOO HOO!!! Break out the tickers. Looks like our dates for this years family vacay are booked!! We are going Dec. 6-13th. Tried to get rooms on property but the time share was booked. I think they are still trying but have booked a room off property anyway. I am a little bummed not to be going to MNSSHP this year, but if I have my way there may be an Oct. trip to DL (so far DH hasn't said NO) I haven't been to WDW for Christmas EVER though so I am pretty excited!!! Of course this means I won't be able to get away w/ seasonal passes this year and will have to shell out for annuals but whatever

 

[*Toadstool*]

So, I was all excited about doing some sewing this AM and went through my stash... I found some princess fabric I have had forever and decided to do a portrait peasant dress for DD. I didn't quite have enough for the skirt, but decided to give it a go anyway.... not good!
The top is fine....but, I don't like the bottom (skirt) at all - just not enough fabric.

At first I thought I would add a sash and that would make it all better. Now I am wondering... If I take the skirt off and turn it into a stripwork skirt how would that look with the peasant style top?

I was thinking of cutting the strips so each had 2 princesses and adding a lavender and another fabric.
Any suggestions for re-working it so its better? I stopped sewing before it was actually "Done" so taking it apart is just one seam.

Its funny I have a bunch of fun fabric like this from a few years ago when I just started thinking about sewing... I would only buy a yard (or less ) when I found something I liked...Now I buy 3 yards if I see something I like how things change.

I just wanted to ask if you thought of making the skirt just be fitted to the top of the bodice? Kinda like an A line? I've seen a dress made that way. I'm pretty sure it has a placket in the back though, so I am not sure if you want to do that. Here is a link to what I am talking about... scroll down until you see the Larkin pattern.

Not sure if you have maybe even reposted and fixed, but I need to get to bed!

I still need to go back and catch up from my weekend of Beth Moore. I had such a blast. God is awesome! I love how she wraps up the Bible into this little package that I can understand. She puts a bow on it too.

I love the korkers in the crocs....I would even wear them!

Okay, some drama today. My husband walked downstairs this morning to two men in the house. VERY stressful. Called the police, got the report - got a very good finger/hand print.

OMGoodness....I am glad they ran away and nothing worse happened but I would be completely freaked out. Glad you got extra locks and alarms etc.

On a brighter note...I love the fabulous princess outfit! It will be perfect for 1900 park fare! I am thinking of eating there too when we go....maybe for lunch?
