ANOTHER STRIPWORK SKIRT QUESTION:



So, I decided I'm a glutton for punishment and I'm making Emmy (12, women's size 12) a stripwork skirt. REmember I'm a sewing moron, so just cutting out the strips and sewing them together took me 7.5 hours. I told her for mother's day I want breakfast in bed..for a week! )

Anyhoo she's a little old for "ruffles" at the bottom of the skirt. Could I use a relatively narrow quilt binding to finish off the bottom edge instead? Or will it bulk up too much?

Thanks.

(You know, we realy need this smilie for when I post this stuff:

I made this a couple of years ago, I need to dig the pics out and send them to you. Morgan wore this when she smacked Peter Pan on the hind end.

Has anyone heard from T????

She posted on facebook this morning that she is having a Harry Potter marathon with the kids. I haven't heard anything about a baby arriving yet.

Cindee, how could you not post the bigger version of your little princess with Mulan? That is one of my favorite pictures EVER!

I would use double fold bias tape in a coordinating color - it is actually very easy and finishes a skirt or dress off nicely

I asked how many children she was having that HP marathon with but no answer

I need some help...please.

I've planned out all the outfits/dresses, except for one. Garden Grill. This is our last night there, and my DS8's Birthday. I am out of ideas. I have the Simply Sweet, A-line, Stripwork Jumper by Carla C and the round neck by That Darn Cat...(YCMT has gotten quite a lot of my money this month!) (as well as Scallopinni Skirt, Peasant Blouse and the Easy Fits)...So far all the patterns have been easy, so I have no problem making any of them...just ran out of ideas! I walked through Joann's for 2 hours today hoping for inspiration, and was at Wal Mart last night for an hour...so far, nothing is making me think Garden Grill...

Since we aren't going to spend much time at EPCOT that night, I'm not really wanting too much in the way of 'different worlds". Any ideas?


This was easy when I started with Minnie Mouse....lots of inspiration and ideas!

LOVE that girls sass!!!!

And BOY is she full of it today

She just spent 10 minutes arguing with me about her math. It is right because she just KNOWS it is

Oh and the book is wrong

Tyler finished a rag quilt this weekend that he made for his Auntie Barb. He picked the fabric, cut it and sewed it all himself on his new machine. The colours are bright, but Barb loves it cause it came from him.

Tyler,

I think your quilt is fantastic! You did a great job! I love your color selection and your execution. Keep up the good work. Speaking as a semi-professional quilter, I am always happy to see young people enjoy their first quilt. Tell Auntie Barb to take good care of it. One day it will be worth a pretty penny...once you become a famous quilter!

If you want easy, how about denim bottoms and a t-shirt with bandana print mickey head?

Also, I mostly finished a POTC bowling shirt this weekend. I have not done the button holes or buttons yet cause I think it needs some skulls, and can't find any yet. Guess I will have to hunt for some.







And one more cause he doesn't look quite as stunned in this photo.



Gonna have to pick a better photo spot next time. Things are pretty busy with all the stuff on the fridge, and the shorts he is wearing etc.

Great quilt! Where did you find the POTC fabric? Awesome!

This is the number one request I always get from my customers, they want comfy princesses dresses...how about simple sundresses for the day...

I hate to repeat pictures,,,,(please forgive me is just to give you an idea)

I made cinderella halter sundress, (sorry do not have the pictures as customer requested for me not to post them) but it was really cute and I know the girl loved it, ( she send me a beautiful thank you card)...

and also I've seen a beautiful snow white dress here ( forgot who posted!!) using CarlaC peasant pattern ... it was a beauty and sleeping beauty sundress by revrob, !!!!!

also if you ahve the simply sweet pattern by Carla the possibilities are endless!!!!!!!

That dress is amazing! You do such a great job!!!!

I have some fabric that is an not-quite-white, red and black that I got at Hancock fabrics. It is kind of vintage/retro looking. I was going to make a portrait peasant dress out of it and use that fabric for the sleeves and the skirt and use a solid red for the bodice. I would like to use a minnie head applique with the old style hat with the flower. Red with white dots for the hat won't work b/c the fabric is not bright white and I don't think solid red would look right against the red bodice. Would a small black and white dot look ok? or a black and white stripe? Or is that too much of a variation on her hat for it to look right? Any opinions/suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi y'all; I lost my quote, so I'm going to go back and try again, but in the meantime, wanted to let ya know what I've been working on this week.

Made two outfits for the kids:
4th of July-

and the Zoo-

Very cute, I love seeing sibling outfits!

here is my very first attempt at sewing a dress!

Looks great!

I've made two. I'm very much a beginner sewer and thought they were pretty easy. I just elongated the pattern and flared it out a bit. It worked well and I will probably make more in the future...now if I could just find the time! Here are the two I made:

Hope that helps!!

Those are cute!

OK.. picture time.. This is my first attempt, so hopefully I won't embarass myself too much!



I will be making a similar one for DGD2 in a dress length.

This next one is the cupcake dress fiasco! I really like the CarlaC A line dress... and it was soooo easy! MY DD9 will be making one in this pattern for DGD2's second birthday in a few weeks.

Nini Morris

I think they turned out very well, which pattern did you use for the minnie top?

Here is the complete outfit. I accidently hit the wrong button before getting all my pics in one post.

Soo cute, love the trim you used too!

Thank you that looks like it would be fast and simple (my two favorite things in sewing!!) I will for sure try this when we get back because................................We leave for our 1st DW vacation in 16 hours!!!!!!!

WHOO HOO! Have a great time!!!

I finished Violette's 4th outfit last night. It had been so long since I last sewed. It took me more time than I thought. I made the hat this morning. It's my 1st pageboy. I was rushed for time and didn't put a liner in it..oh well. Today is probably the only day she'll wear that one anyway. The capris are just ones I got from Old Navy. If the darn top hadn't taken so long, I would've made her some shorts

Cute, and love the hat!

Hope you are all having a great 4th of July! Here's a big THANK YOU to all of our troups, military personal, and their families!

Here are some things I have made lately...all cased I am sure!!!

It says... Got Spot?

Did I post this already??? sorry...if I did...

Thanks for looking...going to try to back up and catch up...sorry I have been so MIA on this thread lately!

Wow everything looks so nice! I especially love the dalmation dress!

Here we go, this morning's bike parade:

Easy Fit Pants made into shorts (I take 2 inches off the top otherwise the shorts would be up to G's armpits) and headband by me. Shirt by walmart.

Okay, didn't make anything here but I didn't want to leave him out!

Around 1am last night I appliqued 3 stars to a onsie for the babe. Bad picture, I'll try to get a better one later!

Here is the Vida I used to make the tutorial (yet to come).

and the back:

The city parade is this evening. Phew, I'm tired.

How super patriotic, love it all, the Vida looks great!

 

[ireland_nicole]

You know Morgan is all about cool and comfy princess style LOL. Here are some I have done of the last couple of years.

(Look how young she looks)

(Made for the original Big Give)

(Her first Tink set)

And of course....

Every time I see that Mulan pic, I melt; I also really love the Tink set!

(You know, we realy need this smilie for when I post this stuff:

I agree; extra wide double fold bias tape will do the trick; just put it on w/ one side on each side of your fabric and straight stich; easy peasy lemon squeezy!

I need some help...please.

This was easy when I started with Minnie Mouse....lots of inspiration and ideas!

Nini Morris

If you don't mind something a little more complex, what about a stripwork jumper with the characters embroidered or appliqued on some of the panels? Like Chip, Dale, etc. and you could do maybe a combination of "country" type fabrics, like lightweight denim, the red bandana print piper was talking about, etc.

I have some fabric that is an not-quite-white, red and black that I got at Hancock fabrics. It is kind of vintage/retro looking. I was going to make a portrait peasant dress out of it and use that fabric for the sleeves and the skirt and use a solid red for the bodice. I would like to use a minnie head applique with the old style hat with the flower. Red with white dots for the hat won't work b/c the fabric is not bright white and I don't think solid red would look right against the red bodice. Would a small black and white dot look ok? or a black and white stripe? Or is that too much of a variation on her hat for it to look right? Any opinions/suggestions would be appreciated!

I think the black w/ small polka dots would be super cute; you could do a yellow flower coming up from it and it would be all the "classic" minnie colors; I think it would be adorable.

Hope Arminda gets to feeling better so you can enjoy the rest of you time.

I belong to that club. Ginny, GoofyG, was born on her due date.

What a good girl Ginny was!!!

Arminda got to feeling better Sunday, so we made it to the convention all day. Then, when we got home that night, she was not doing so well again. Today though, she seems fine. We had Chinese buffet on the way home, I think that was part of the problem!

I really like the girls dresses but the S did not show up well in pics. It looked cute in person though. boo hoo I am happy with the bows though. I am not a confident bow maker. I am a confident bow buyer.

cute pictures Aimee, and your bow comment just made me laugh!

In a little over two hours, my DD9 made this for her niece's birthday next month. She will be 2.

So, to anyone who is on the fence about CarlaC's A-line dress... if my daughter can do it, I know you can!!


Don't you just hate it when a momma starts to brag!!!


Nini Morris

WONDERFUL!!! That is so pretty!!! I saw that material and wanted it so bad, but I put it back. I wish I would have bought it, this outfit is just gorgeous!

I finally have a pic of something that I made. This is a birthday dress that I made for my cousin's little girl. She just turned 1 and that is the smallest size of the Vida pattern and it is huge on her.

Her name is Serena Lilly. Isn't she a cutie. I made her a size newborn dress for her shower gift and she still wears it.

That is so pretty! What a pity she doesn't wear it!

Hey there -I just found this thread and am amazed at the talent you all have! SOOOO jealous that I don't have the skills to make the adorable clothing that you all can! I was looking on your photobucket account and did a member search here for linnettevl and cannot find her anywhere! Anyone know how I can contact her here by PM?

ALSO I tried to find many of you on ebay and can't. TIPS??

You can just PM people if you see something they made you like.

Ok I have the dress for the CHinese Auction one step from being done and I need opinions.....This is the basic dress. (It is sewn together now the pic was before the skirt & top were sewn together.)

Is the front "apron" too much? I think I really like it like this. But wanted some of the pros thoughts before I sew it together. And do you think this is too much for a Beef n Beer Chinese Auction or do you think I would raise more money by putting it on ebay? ( It is for the Breast Cancer 3day in Philly - I will be walking if I can get enough money raised.) I have enough time to make something simpler for the Auction if you think it would do better on ebay. TIA,
Carol

Very cute!!! It reminds me of Lydia's Wall-E dress I made her last summer. I don't really understand the Chinese Auction thing, I think I would go with Ebay.

Here are some photos of Lily from a photoshoot (playing with my new camera) the other day. My friend Jen made the pillowcase dresses, I made the ruffle pants and peasant top.

Awww, Lily is so cute!

Has anyone heard from T????

She went kayaking over the weekend and got a sunburn on her legs. She is still pregnant, don't worry, she has a few of us on her contact list, so someone will let you guys know when she goes into labor and has that baby! Yesterday was her due date, so it could be any time now.

I made this a couple of years ago, I need to dig the pics out and send them to you. Morgan wore this when she smacked Peter Pan on the hind end.

I love all the outfits cindee! That Tink is adorable!! And, I just love seeing pictures of Morgan!! And, I bet the book IS wrong!

 

[Tinka_Belle]

Tricia-I love the POTC shirt you made for your son. It is too cool.

Jeanne-Love the pics of Lilly and the ones of the kids for the 4th of July.

I'm sorry. That's so hard for me to understand...you do fantastic stuff!

But, now you'll have more time to sew for your little princess right?

That is true. I also have a Frog Princess dress that is getting a lot of attention right now.

 

[NiniMorris]

Jennia...I used the Round Neck top/dress from That Darn Cat from YCMT. Really easy..I've made a couple now.

I'm working on my first Strip Pieced Jumper even as we speak...er as I type...well you know what I mean!

Nini

 

[NiniMorris]

Teresajoy.. my DIL did not like it. She thought the fabric was too 'busy'. I haven't told my DD9 yet...probably won't!

BTW...My DGD2 thought it was 'pretty'!
