I finally finished all 7 tees and 2 patchwork twirls for our first day at the MK!
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!

Love these! Cna I ask what size pieces do you cut for your patchwork? They are rectangles not squares ? I like that look a lot. I usually do 6x6 sqs but I think I am tiring of them....I finally finished all 7 tees and 2 patchwork twirls for our first day at the MK!

Those are really cute! Are their patterns hard? I would hate to spend $16 and have the pattern be hard!
pretty and a very sweet story behind the fabric.Ugh. I had my post all typed up and it wouldn't let me post it!
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.
Funny! I wasn't actually trying to get them in the pic...they just ran up and jumped in and did that themselves...hahaha...I think they watch too much Wheel of Fortune!Oh my goodness! You are putting my laziness to shame!! I will go and hide now.
Your girls are adorable. You need to take them to a craft show and have them stand there like that and you'd make millions!!!
Nope don't have it! Can you believe it! LOL
so cute!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!
That is awesome, Marlo! I love it! Kyle crackys me up!Here is a Transformers outfit I made for Kyle to wear at his bday party in a few weeks.
You and your "credits"I finally finished all 7 tees and 2 patchwork twirls for our first day at the MK!
! Wow, Cathy! These must have taken so long! I am in AWE!!! GREAT job!!! I can't wait to see all the Pooh shirts you're making!! The girls look beautiful in their patchwork twirl skirts- I love them!If you run across any posts by "hkite", that's me!! I changed my username when I realized that hkite sounded like someone trying to cough up a lugey!
This is a wonderful group of people!! I can't wait to see your pink Cinderella dress! I love how you said that you can't believe you were the one to make it! I felt that way with a few of the things I've made. It's such a great feeling!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!!!!!

for Peach and for you. That is such a sweet story behind this dress. It turned out really pretty, so classy!What do you all think? Does this need a black sash or something? It seems busy to me or is it ok???

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:
I think a yellow sash would look great, to tie in the yellow flower on the applique!
They are just too cute! Tessa looks so little and I love sawyers messy face!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!

LOVE IT! It is great!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.
.
Hope you are all doing well T!!!! Can't wait to see pics!
