Here is what I have been up to:

The LONG awaited Fawn outfit:

And just because I thought the face was funny:

 

[Rebecuberduber]

I am just so proud!!!!

I have suspected something was on Morgan's mind the last few days.

She just shared with me what she is thinking-She wants to have a little "walk a thon" to raise money for "Her babies" still at her baby house in China. Her goal is to raise $200 to buy them books and toys. "Mommie, they don't have any toys! And no books either!"

I love that kid!

That is so sweet. What a wonderful little girl you've got, there.

OK - finally - Ariel!

That is so clever! I love it!

This is awesome!!! I can't wait to show my little Emily. The will LOVE the flesh colored belly. I know..this gorgeous dress and the darling peplum, ruffle, shells..and she'll love it because it makes her look like she's wearing Ariel's "****ie bra" as she calls it. Sigh....

Ok I have been reading here and have 2 questions - first I have been looking for the black & white swirl fabric I have seen on a couple peoples outits - Tink561 's daughter has both black w/ white swirl & white w/ black swirl in the Steamboat Wille outfit. ANyone know where it came from - the fabric?

2nd I have only done one applique so far following heatersue's tut. I have not done it again and I used fleece the first time. I think I got lucky because it came out well.

I am going to attempt my first Mickey & Minnie icon heads on the girls dresses - so cotton on cotton. I have the wonderunder/iron on stuff to use. I also have a tear away stabilizer but have no idea what to do with it. Will I need that? I do not have an embroidery machine so this will be by hand on the machine. As long as I follow HeaterSue's tut I should be good right?
I am nervous because I only have so muh of the fabric I don't want to mess up but if it works well the first time I want to be able to use that too.

 

[disneymomof1]

I think the swirl fabric is probably Michael Miller fabric, ironworks collection. Google it and see what you think.

 

[HeatherSue]

Really Teresa........... She said it was cool that you were sisters. Interpretting that to "we ARE cool" is really stretching things!

Hey, we take what we can get, Karen!

Here is what I have been up to:

The LONG awaited Fawn outfit:

And from MK: (Heather Sue don't look)

Love he Fawn outfit! The hair is really cool! Can you take that off to wash it?
I looked!
I also love the fairies dress- so pretty! So is Morgan's AG! Morgan is looking so much older lately! She gets prettier by the day!

I didn't go back to look at the specific fabric you were talking about, but lots of the swirls people use are Michael Miller's ironworks.

You'll need to use fusible tear away stabilizer on the back of the item you're working on and you'll use the wonderunder to fuse the pieces to the fabric before you start appliqueing. HTH!

Thanks HeaterSue - I am in the process on following some more advice - I am cutting all the pieces out for the 3 dresses for the girls first then I will try the applique -
I am making simply sweets - do you applique just the fashion fabric or applique through the underlining & fashion fabric?

Cindee, That is really cute! You need to post a bigger picture of Fawn. I love the colors. They look very fall and Back to School. Great Job!!

That is so sweet. This brought tears to my eyes. You can definitely tell that Morgan is being brought up right.

Angel I love the customs. Too cute.

Love the pics of Morgan at MK. The stripwork dresses are too pretty and the brown and blue dress is adorable. We love brown and blue in this house.

You're very welcome! I just applique on the fashion fabric.

 

[3huskymom]

Just a quick note to emcreative (Marah is her name, I think). I finished appliqueing a vida using your donald and mickey philharmagic designs last night. I'm hoping to get that done by tonight to show you! I think it turned out really cool. I hope you don't mind me casing the designs.

Revrob- I love the Ariel Sundress. What size hoop did you use to do the shells?

I'm down to 19 days before we leave for WDW and I'm feeling the crunch. I have all these ideas in my head for outfits and I know she can't possibly wear everything she has now....I have to keep telling myself it's ok, I still have October and December to sew for....

I was giong to post the same thing about the bed. It brought back memories. We had Hobby Hobby bedding on ours. (or, Holly Hobby for those of you who didn't have a little sister who couldn't say it right)

And, just cause I'm babbling, I'll tell you all. My family gets together every Friday night for pizza. Our brother and his wife and girls comes too. It's so much fun!

I had Hobby Hobby bedding, too! And I like pizza and need a family. Will you adopt me?

Was yours pink? We had the bedspread, pillow shams, canopy and curtains. I loved it! My Grandma made us Hobby Hobby rag dolls too.

Modest is a MUST for us too...this is just perfect!! I LOVE your use of my shells design! How special!!!! Then there'll be a tiny portion of the dress that I sorta "made" (well, digitized..LOL)

I love how you ladies say things like "uh, I dunno, I sorta just winged it..." "oh ya know, just drew a line here...separated this, added this, sorta swooped this". I just shake my head...it sounds like rocket science to me!!! LOL Nervous nellie me is like "is there a pattern for this? a pattern for that? I need a pattern for this bodice..is there a pattern for a peplum?" LOL

I nailed down my main fear. CUTTING the fabric and messing it up. I'm even afraid of my babylock evolve serger. It's like this shiny monster sitting there waiting to go "BOO!!!"

Ok..off to get the kids from VBS then back home, then BACK to VBS tonight!

Julie

You know Julie, before I found this thread, and YCMT, I HAD to stick with a pattern too! Stick with us, you will be swooping and separating and winging it in no time!

Really Teresa........... She said it was cool that you were sisters. Interpretting that to "we ARE cool" is really stretching things!

Oh shoot! I was kinda hoping no one would catch that!!!!

 

[livndisney]

Oh yes! Fawn's braid is detachable. Morgan just HAD to have "diamonds" in there. So the braid has sequins and satin cord in it.

Here is what I have been up to:

The LONG awaited Fawn outfit:

And from MK: (Heather Sue don't look)

And just because I thought the face was funny:

Cindee, these are adorable!!! I love that Fawn outfit!!!! The braid is great! And, I love the Fairies sundress!!

I just saw little Miss Morgan in May, why is she looking so much older already!??? Make her stop it Cindee!!

 

[my*2*angels]

Whoa! everyone has been busy!!!!!!! I am not even going to try and catch up! I would be here all day!LOL

SHANNON-LOVE the Ariel! Soooo pretty!

CINDEE- The fawn outfit is AWESOME! Great job! Morgan is soooo pretty!

So yes I read only the first page!LOL I will try to do better and keep up!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Thanks..but it's been quite a few months so I've kinda lost hope. Maybe when we take everything out to move?

I think maybe Phin was just trying to tell us he was here to stay. When my husband had the wedding band made, he had three stones placed in it- one for each of the girls, as he was "marrying" ALL of us and we were ALL becoming a family:

So maybe Phin knew something we didn't and he wasn't going anywhere, so he was telling us we needed to go get one with FIVE stones now!

I'm sure your new ring will be beautiful!

I am just so proud!!!!

What a great kid!!!

So cool!!!

Mcdonalds is going to be offering American Girl Happy Meals after teeny beanies.

It looks like the toy is a mini book with tiny little paper dolls. And for those that don't or can't eat at Mcdonalds-you can buy the toy withou the meal.

Those beanies look cute too and the boy toy with AG is Legos!

LOVE Fawn!!!! Where did you get the AG crocs? Those are darling too!

 

[emcreative]

No mine was blue like this:

I think because I was a little Romany girl and that one had the darkest hair.

...all I remember having was the bed set and the curtains...can I be adopted??

 

[lovesdumbo]

Cindee-
Theresa says you're a Sea World expert....Could you compare the size of Sea World to a Disney Park? I'm trying to decide if I should bring a stroller for DD(6).

We will arrange for town car service to Sea World. If we are there at opening what time would you think would be a good pick up time? Think we'd be able to see quite a bit with a 5pm or 6pm pickup? We won't be doing the coasters.

Oh and will they let us in with a Nemo custom or that in bad taste?


Thanks!

 

[*Toadstool*]

Toadstool-

I did not make the Steamboat Willie but that is the set that inspired me. Angel and I both bid on it but she bid first. I am not sure she would have left me win it!!!

Its such a neat design. Surely when girls where that to DW they must be the only ones, and that makes it so special. The CM's must love it!

What a GREAT girl! LOVE her! Please let me know what she is planning to do, I'd like to help!


OK - finally - Ariel!

It is perfect!! Definitely the most recognizable Ariel dress I have seen. I totally want to CASE this if it is okay. I love the ruffle on the bottom too.

ALL RIGHT!!! Ok, what time of year does the bayou freeze over????


I know how much those beds cost, I've been researching them for the past 3 years or more! I want one so bad! I mean, for the girls, of course....

I don't think the bayou ever freezes.. lol
I always waited for it to freeze every year when I was a kid because I thought I could go ice skating on it. Never did go ice skating..
I got to sleep in her bed the other night because she wasn't feeling well. It definitely brought out the child in me.

Um... I just sorta winged it. I started with the same width as the skirt and the longest part is about 5-6" long and I sorta drew a line from the long end tapering down. I just did what looked right in my mind. It was pretty simple though!



I'm so glad you like it! I hope Emily loves it as well! Your shell design really made the bodice come to life in my opinion. I made a mock up before this version and it was just missing something. When I added the shells, it really came to life, I think!



Thanks so much! The bottom ruffle was a little difficult. I'm not completely pleased with the way it came out. Mainly because underneath it doesn't look as neat as I like. Basically, it is a giant ruched ruffle. I did a rolled edge hem on both sides of the strip, and then ruffled about an inch from the top and then attached to the bottom of the fabric edge. I think the next round I'll do a large ruffle and do a ruched slim ruffle over the top to give a similar effect, but will be neater on the underside.

I've always wondered how that kind of ruffle is accomplished. I never did it because I kept thinking the underside wouldn't be able to be finished. I guess if you serge the underneath part it is okay though huh?
The peplum thing totally goes over my head. I'm soo going to be calling you when I want to figure that out..

Modest is a MUST for us too...this is just perfect!! I LOVE your use of my shells design! How special!!!! Then there'll be a tiny portion of the dress that I sorta "made" (well, digitized..LOL)

I love how you ladies say things like "uh, I dunno, I sorta just winged it..." "oh ya know, just drew a line here...separated this, added this, sorta swooped this".

Aww!! Morgan is soo cute. I love them all, but the purple one with the fairies is my favorite. I love that fabric. Is it leopard print??

Love the pics of Morgan at MK. The stripwork dresses are too pretty and the brown and blue dress is adorable. We love brown and blue in this house.

Ooh.. I missed the brown and blue somehow? I love brown and blue!
Guess I'll have to go back and find it.
