What do you all think? Does this need a black sash or something? It seems busy to me or is it ok???
I finished Taylor's outfit for the Tusker House breakfast against all odds. I swear I about threw it out the windor at least 50 times. I had to completly redo the mickey and minnie appliques 12 times, I got so completly close to finishing them and something would mess up..... I never could get the black outline to look right around parts of the face, I finally gave up on the embroidery machine and did the black outline on the face by hand (well with my regular sewing machine).... so they don't look great. Donald's eyes should probably be a lighter blue so they don't blend so much with the black, but I didn't want to do it over again. I had several problems with the shirt and had to redo it a little. It wasn't that bad, but I am spoiled by all of Carla's pictures, and with far less pictures it took me a min to understand what I was suppose to do. It was also my first time doing buttons, so I needed to practice for awhile.
Anyhow here is the outfit all done, I think I am going to add a pettiskirt.....Ignore the crooked hair, she wouldn't let me fix it much today..... I am not done with the hairbows either, they will be bigger and have other ribbon.... I will use this mickey ribbon as the base, but I will add some other animal prints.
Get ready for far too many pictures of Taylor, she was loving getting her picture taken today.
I am still trying to decide if I want to move the buttons a little so it will be slightly less open.

Where did you find the mickey ribbon for the bows?
I LOVE it!
) is on a national level competitive cheer team (it goes up to 12 yrs old) and she practices 2x per week for a total of 4.5 hours and that includes team practice and tuble classes. The practices are all in a climate controlled cheer gym as well (not outside in the heat etc.)
That seems like a lot of time for a non-competition team. My dd (2 weeks from being 7
-Krysta
I love my kids- then again don't we all.
Congratulations T & family!!!WOW! What a beautiful photo!!!! LOVE the skirts too but that photo with all those shirts is so cool!I finally finished all 7 tees and 2 patchwork twirls for our first day at the MK!
Beautiful dress!I just finished this dress tonight. Peach had no clue I was making it. Its very special and dear to my heart. My uncle said this is the last fabric my aunt was sewing with (she made herself a button down shirt) before she passed away a few years ago. Georgia just loved this fabric. Its very light and breezy. She is going to love it. Hopefully she will model it for me before her dad gets her for a last minute over night weekend. (ugh.. another long vent)
We are both finally feeling better. hopefully being at her dad's wont make her mood change too bad. Last time she talked to him on the phone which was nearly two weeks ago now, he said He didn't know when the next time he would see her was and he would call her sunday, well sunday was two sundays ago!!! She said to me the other day.. "Mommy, why doesn't my daddy call me, doesn't he love me anymore?" UGh....
Well off to catch up and go to bed for me.
Cute! I like it like it is.What do you all think? Does this need a black sash or something? It seems busy to me or is it ok???

You can applique it on using the instructions in my applique tutorial. Or, you could use the pillowcase as a fabric piece in the dress. I appliqued it on for this dress for Tessa WAY back when!
Then, I made Sawyer this matching t-shirt with the Sebastian from the pillowcase. He was much happier after I bribed him with a cookie:
Sorry, but I can't tell from the picture. When you applique these large pictures using pillowcases and things, did you just sew around the outside of the picture or all of the lines inside the picture of ariel too?
Ugh. I had my post all typed up and it wouldn't let me post it!

and here are the skirts modeled. I have had these done for a while but the girls never actually put them on till todaygo figure...good thing they fit!
And some twirling shots...
Oh and someone asked for a close-up for easier casing...lol! This ensemble was definately cased....thank you disboutiquers!!!!so feel free to recase!
This was the adult tee...I applied stablizer underneath. I opened up the side seams. I attached the two ribbons with a few rows of straight stitches. Closed up the side seams. I had heat/bond lite applied to the back of the Minnie head and bow, so I ironed them on the middle front. Then zig-zagged the edges! Finally, I added a daisy and its done! Easy Peasy!

I agree with trying to find sheets, or a pillowcase.
I just made DS a Bowling Shirt from a POTC pillowcase that I picked up at WalMart.
This board is addicting! Many of you don't know me very well yet, but I check this board more than my email or facebook account!And it definitely inspired me to try sewing and I LOVE it!!! Last week I made my first dresses ever (the 4th of July ones) and now tonight I am almost done with the pink Cinderella dress that the mice make. I still can't believe that I was the one to make it!!!! I love all of the great ideas on here, helpful advice, and just the overall tone of this board. It's the nicest one I have ever been on.
And mirandag819, I often stare at your stuff wishing I can make what you make.
Now enough typing for me....I only have 2 month until my trip and only one disney outfit made! AHHHHHH!!!!!
Ugh. I had my post all typed up and it wouldn't let me post it!

Tell T we all say Congrats! I just read a book and fell in love wiht the name Faythe.
Your shirts look great. Your girls looks great. I just love these twirl skirts. I don't know why I never made Kirsta one.
This is my favorite bowling shirt. I went to our Walmarts and they don't have this style. I just love it.
Can't wait for pictures. Thanks for sharing.
I'm 52 and my Dad still acts like this. I did get a Bday card this year. About 3 months late.
I love that you made a dress with this fabric. When my step father died (he raised me) I wanted to make all the grandchildren a small pillow with a square of one of PopPops shirts for Xmas. I told my mother, but she went ahead and got rid of all the shirts anyway!
I just love this!!! It is so adorable.
Kirsta was in this type of cheer. She had practice 4 days a week or 2 hours. It got worse near the competition. It was mighty expensive. Thank goodness she didn't ask to do it again.
