That looks AWESOME!

THANKS!

I was actually looking for ones people had made to show my DBil, who is a transformers freak. Before i made one I was thinking to show it to him, but THANKS SO MUCH! I will keep these just in case

KIRA - that's cute! Great save - so cool that you've been able to use that dress for so long!

I've never seen rick rack do that! I've had ends fray before if I didn't heat seal or serge them, but I've never seen the middle of the rick rack do that. Strange. You've never had the other kind that you use do this?

Thanks!
No, I haven't. I don't know what it was about that rick rack. I've used the smaller one in another outfit and it didn't fray after washing it several times. I've used the cotton one now a good bit, and it didn't fray either. I haven't ever sew rick rack into the bodice like that since then though. I just use it on hems and stuff now. That pattern I used is one of my favorites. It fits for a long time because of how it has all that elastic in the back and the armholes are huge.

Adi, eeyore3847 had posted outfits with the transformers thingies on them either at the beginning of this thread or at the end of the last one.

Sorry Adi, I totally misunderstood what you were looking for.

Ladies (and Tom) I could really use your opinion on this. I picked up this fabric today thinking I would make some Easy-Fits for the boys to go with Chip and Dale shirts:

Now that I'm home I'm wondering:

1. Is this too girlish?

2. I know it is an autumn fabric, but I was originally thinking it looked chipmunk-y with the acorns and all...now it is just screaming FALL and I'm wondering if it would look ridiculous at DW in July.

It does say fall to me. It is just because of all of those leaves! Maybe if you used it as a trim on the fabric it wouldn't be so loud? You could always cut out those acorns and satin stitch them onto some shorts too.
I think it might work though just because it is Chip and Dale though.
Oh, and I don't think it is girly.

I like that one, and it doesn't scream fall to me. It sure isn't cheap though.

I think it will work! With a shirt that has chip & dale on it, maybe with a solid brown trim to kinda anchor it. I can see it! I don't think it's girly.

EMCREATIVE! Use an image of Chip & Dale eating acorns in a pile of leaves and it will work FOR SURE!

Very cute!! We love Pooh and friends here! I really need to work on figuring out my embroidery importing hardware and try out some of these files!!
I also really like the idea of planning for growth with extra length in the hem. I may have to try that out!

You know, I think that with a Chip and Dale shirt, it will completely work. On its own, yes, it does say fall. But pair it with the C&D and I think it will be great. Not in the least bit girly. The acorns and just the colours are perfect with the chipmunks!

The shirts were gifts from MIL and they have just the full bodies of each on them I'm thinking I probably shouldn't 'add' to them, y'know?

I'll use the transformers clipart I am sure. So thanks for finding it.

I thought chip/dale before I ever read anything. I guess it is fall but to me is just looks chipmunk like. I think it will work fine! I might be adding some to my stash!

Then don't worry about it! It'll work out fine!

Jessica - you DEFINITELY need that fabric to go with all of those Chip & Dale campfire appliques you do! That would be SO CUTE!

SOMEONE must know!!! Hey anyone out there have a Brother that only does 4X4s and have the bigger hoop??? YOO HOO!!! I know you are out there somewhere!!!

(there, that should do it! )

Theresa, I responded to your question in my post on pg. 11. the bottom part was to you and Lisa. Hope it helps you.

Would any of you fine DISers be kind enough to give me your honest opinion? My daughter asked me randomly a few weeks ago if she could be Minnie for Halloween. Now, when she says "Minnie", she specifically means Minnie from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and her dress is pink with white polka dots instead of (what I think of as) the more traditional red and white.

I know that the bodice on Minnie's MMC dress (usually) looks like solid pink, but I found a really awesome pink polka dot fabric and couldn't find the same sort of fabric/same shade of pink in a solid, so I decided it could all be pink polka dots.

Well, I found a pattern I thought looked Minnie-like and made it. It still needs a closure at the neck, a hem, and maybe a little embellishment here and there...maybe a ribbon trim at the sleeve or something along those lines.

However, seeing as I couldn't find a specific "Minnie" pattern I wanted to know if this looks sufficiently "Minnie" to any of you very experienced boutiquers. I lucked out and found a Minnie ears headband on sale at the Disney store with a pink bow and not a red bow, which she'll be wearing with the dress for Halloween, but isn't in this picture.

And now that I've blathered on forever here is the pic:

So, verdict? Think anyone will know who she is with the help of the ears? I was thinking black tights and pink shoes with it too. Maybe some white gloves and a fluffy white petticoat under the skirt to poof it out (assuming she'll submit to that.)

I like your ideas; you've got the color, now you just need to accessorize; I think a belt or sash could help, too.

After working most of the week in my free time on this I finally finished Hayleigh's Alice dress. The dress is a bit tight in the bodice and I wish I would have made that bigger. All the other Carla C's were fine with size 5 but this one is more snug.

Now to working on her 4th of July dress.

Absolutely beautiful.

Hi Ladies! I'm on my way to my first sewing class. Please take a mom

ent to say a prayer for my poor instructor and wish her patience!

Oh my Gosh! I leave for a few days to graduate from Nursing School and it is 17 pages into a new thread....Now I have to go back and catch up!!!

wow, there's more of us nurses here than I realized; Congrats!!

For any of you that buy fabric on Etsy: I just saw this link on another forum, it allows you to search by color of fabric on Etsy. Check it out! I have been playing for about 30 mins and it is so fun....But then again I am easily amused!!

Have fun.

that is soooo coooool!

What a great way to be!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!


Sorry she is squinting it is bright out today.

Next time I need to double the length of the straps! I made the top a bit bigger then the pattern called for even though she measured fine for the 5/6 in the pattern but it is ahrd to make a 5/6 for a 9 yr old!

Super cute!

Has anyone bought any of the hairbow ebooks from ycmt? My sister is in town this weekend and I have tons of ribbons to match DD's disney outfits, and we want to start making her some matching hair bows. Are any of the ycmt books worth it?

I haven't tried any of the ebooks yet, but girlythingsbows has lots of great free instructions to get you started.

Here is what I worked on this afternoon. I made this for Hannah when she was about 2 years old, and it still fits. I just let the hem down and did my coverstitch and put the big rick rack on. I always make big hems so I can let them down. This was the first digitizing I had ever done. I used Kanga and roo that someone gave to me, and they stitched out horrible. That is one scarey thing when you are embroidering characters onto 1 piece of fabric! No way I was starting over on that back skirt piece.
Tomorrow is Super Hero day at church, so I thought this was fitting.
Now I am kicking myself that I didn't take the opportunity to make a Larry Boy outfit. Oh, and if you look closely the rick rack that is sewn into the bodice is frayed and coming out. This is why I don't use that kind of rick rack anymore. Hopefully my clover iron will get all of those wrinkles out. I am a southern girl, but I HATE ironing.

I love this; it's absolutely adorable

I think it's perfect with the chip and dale tshirts.

I need to buy a peasant dress pattern (but shhhh don't tell my DH because he probably wouldn't say need) anyway, I was checking out ycmt and there are 3 cute ones. I love Carla's patterns, but I'm worried about thatparticular pattern looking really boxy on DD because she's so narrow; the others look like they "come in" more either by nature or with a sash. Has anyone made the dainty designs or Miss madeline patterns? I'm leaning toward the miss madeline because the apron would be great for embellishment, but I'm not sure.

Oh, BTW, just got back from Joanne's and they got mickey and the gang halloween fabric that is to die for; absolutely perfect for anyone going to, oh, say, WDW this fall. Get it while the gettings good ladies!- it's in the halloween section, not the licensed.

I got the Dainty Designs pattern before I knew about Carlas patterns Needless to say I like Carla's better. I could never get the DD on to line up right.

OMG yes I was DROOLING over it. Part of me was trying to figure out how I could argue I had to get it now, the other part realized that I had too much stuff to do before the trip to justify it. Unfortunately the "other" part won.

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback; I definitely won't get that one, then; although I did finally, I think, get both the ruffler and serger working this weekend. The house is a mess, but at least I kind of feel like I accomplished something. And that serger isn't just sitting there mocking me.

but it's so cuuuuuute; I mean, um, well done you. You're a strong woman. I just know that the way my universe works is that if I didn't get it, I would never see it again. The good news is that now I did buy it, so there will be plenty around for a long time!

See, that's what I'm afraid of though!!!
