OH that's just so wrong! LOL!:lmao:
One of the only stuffed toys I remember my brother getting (we always got a stuffy and candy in our basket) was Thumber- he hasn't changed much over the years- what a great bunny for her basket!!



You were a natural all along!! GREAT story!! I love to sew, but I have to have a pattern. I tried a crayon holder apron without a pattern- and I even had a finished one from the shop in front of me and I still couldn't finish the way I wanted. Good for you- love the black and polka dots with pleats!

who wanted the cinderella pattern suggestions? I don't know what size you are looking for- but here are options-

S5832 (size 3-8) ariel, snow white, cinderella
Simplicity 9383 (sizes 3-8)

This is the real deal- I bought this planning to do for halloween- but then DD wanted to be Pooh- and i saw it at a second hand shop for $3- so I skipped the dress- I think HeatherSue did this pattern and found the bodice low.
i also have this one- Simplicity 4949

Adoptionmomma4 (Lacy) did this one for her little girl katie, now she lined it in cotton since it was going ot be hot in FL, she also lengthened it and added a ruffle to the hem- instead of the lace. ALL of them need a petticoat underneath to achieve that fullness. This dress comes out nicer than the photo- Lacy has it in her siggy.

For those who are curious and missed my post back in Jan/Feb- that's when I did it, i didnt know if I would still be able to sew at this point, and I can tell you, I am only capable of short stints at the sewing machine now- and I have to sit further away LOL.
I'm sorry I dont a photo of her in it, we were late for church (or so DH thought) and it was windy when we got out. Then she spilled penne vodka down the front and Im now trying to get the stains out of it. :confused3

I had her wear the petticoat Livndisney sent us (thanks so much!)



Oh my goodness... that is fantastic!!! Wow!
 
Did someone mention they could get petti's for $15? I'd love one for Hannah and Elizabeth for their birthdays!!!

They are usually $55 I believe when Teresa can get them. Which was $15 more then what the materials came to make one.
 

Thanks everyone for your great replies on my outfits for DD... I'm obviously a newbie to the Disboutiquers (and really intensive-sewing for that matter)... so thank you all for some awesome inspiration!!!

On that note - I seem to be having some major problems with the appliques. I've been following the tutorial directions, but I have to be doing something wrong - - could it be the foot I'm using (Just a plain old machine foot, not made specifically for embroidery)? It just seems that I can't keep the stitches going at an even pace - I get big gaps. I have to pull the material thru, but I guess sometimes I'm pulling too hard which causes the gap? I also can't seem to get smooth/even lines - especially on a curve - is that something that just comes with practice? Not sure if there's an easier way to explain or go about this... any advice would be appreciated!!!

Thanks again, looking forward to learning a tons more and posting some more advanced things in the future!

my first try at embroidery...

I had this problem when I first started. An applique foot fixed the gaps in my stitches, and being smooth over the curves comes with practice, and I am still getting the hang of that!
 
OMGosh! Thank you for reminding me! I just use the regular foot but have been meaning to look for an applique foot for ages now!

I don't think the foot you use had anything to do with it (I have no gaps) although I assume it is alot easier to see if you use an applique foot. I seem to do a lot of blind guessing!

Practice really makes perfect with the curves and applique in general.
 
So many lovely things but I had to comment on the Thumper story


:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:


That so sounds like something Aisling would do, I couldn't stop laughing when I read it!

Is it because the stitching seems to get caught in the foot and then it does not feed so you pull at it? I was having that problem, but then when I checked the manual for my machine it said to adjust the pressure on the foot to a lower setting when doing applique. (not the tension, but the pressure, I had to open the side of my machine to see the dial for this) This worked for me.
 
here is a little outfit that i made for my dd to wear to the easter egg hunt we went to. Someone had posted a cute little set of pink/white polka dot easy fit pants and a shirt with a flower on it. that was my inspiration! This was my 2nd attempt at an applique, thank you again Heather!!!! couldnt have done it with out your tutorial!

I love this and it's perfect for an egg hunt! Great job!

Here they are straight from their garage tour....
The Frank Girls!

Yes they really were playing - the video is great, especially after Joci took the microphone and someone tried to take Evie off the drums - she freaked out on that person... took the sticks back and started playing again - she only got 66% but she still played.
And couple shots of Evie in her Curious George skirt......setting up gigs with their agent...

.. and really trying to get into the holiday spirit .....

How adorable are they? Curious George is fantastic!

I just made some outfits for my DD3 - my first try at making clothes for her other than just minor alterations. Not that these were big projects to say the least, but I'm just beginning! Made a tinkerbell mock-smock dress for her, and an embroidered mickey mouse t-shirt with gauchos. I'm thinking of adding ruffles to the bottom of the gauchos. The embroidery is far from perfect, but my first try!!!

Great job! I just did my 1st applique and I started with a Mickey head too, great minds think alike!

I think I commented on this the 1st time I saw it, but I love this! All these pretty dresses make me want girls!

I think it's a combo of all of these suggestions... at least I'm hoping that's it! :rotfl: I will pick up a new foot, adjust the pressure (if I can figure out how!) AND practice-practice-PRACTICE!!! Hopefully someday I can produce something like that beautiful Aurora aplique dress!! I will try all of this, and post the results once I feel they are worthy enough... :lmao:

Thanks ladies... :flower3:
 
I am in search of the famous Mrs. B so that my DD can get an Alice dress for our next trip. Anyone have her ebay name. Thanks.

It looks like the person you are looking for sells Disney made Costumes on Ebay, it doesn't look like she sews them. I don't think I have seen a "Ms. B" on this board. Sorry.

OneTreeHill on one of the other boards here has bought TONS of dresses from a lady from ebay. I thought I had the sellers name saved but I can't find it on myebay. Check w/ Onetreehill and I bet it's the seller you're looking for. If you find out the name please let us know what it is!

Hope this helps!
