I love this!!! The colors are perfect. Ariel's pink dress was always one of my favorites
Thank you!
It's awful! When I order online, I hate when it takes more than a couple days for them to send the fabric out. Waiting 2-3 days for Priority is bad enough.

Anyone remember when the usual time for delivery of something ordered through the mail was 4-6 weeks!
.
Yes, and by the time you got it, it was hard to remember what you had ordered!
And I'm so excited for myself, this was my first multi quote!
Yeah for you!!! See, that wasn't so hard!
Taking the plunge!!!!
Well, I've been a lurker for over a year since our last Disney trip. So very envious of all you ladies do. I have long desired to sew some simple sundresses for my dd and as I already mentioned, we're going back in August.
Last summer, I bought a TON of disney fabric. Oh, I bidded and bidded on ebay for the great minnie dots, got all sorts of dis princess fabric..and never used it!
We have sort of a housekeeper/nanny that helps me three days a week so I can digitize, and she's been away in Brazil almost a month. All my fabric is in storage. Today is her first day back, and she's just so darn good for me! She said "ok julie, let's go get that fabric!" I would have just procrastinated.
I'll try to take a pic of what I have to work with when I get back.
How hard can this be? I can do a few SIMPLE sundresses right??? TIME is the main issue!
Julie
You can do it!
Hi All,
UGH!!!!! I need a littel pixie dust sprinkled my way! I have been working on four feliz dresses for my daughters and nieces for our upcoming trip. YUCK!!! Let me just say: a) Never did the Feliz before. Time consuming, time consuming, time consuming! B) It is Bor-ing to do the same steps FOUR TIMES!!!! c) I hand appliqued the fron panel (which I have never done before) and that was a killer in and of itself. I am hoping to get these finished today, so I can put them away and do something that is quick and easy and give IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION!!! I feel like I have been looking at them forever!
WHEW! Had to get that off my chest! LOL
That's why I like the peasant dress!
WOO HOO I AM SO EXCITED (Can you tell??) I have to share my excitement w/ ya'll b/c NO ONE I know understands it. I got 1.3 yards of Toy Story fabric on ebay last Friday and now I just got 1 more yard :!! I only need a little more (I think) and I will have enough to do my simply sweet and easy fit pants for DD3 for our upcoming trip.
Thanks for letting me share my excitement!!!!
Yeah!!! I'm excited for you!
Now I have a question. . .On Carla C's patterns, does she count the lining as part of the yardage? I had planned on using a solid to line anyway so I may actually already have enough if she counts the lining in the yardage.
Carla usually lists the different parts of the outfits seperately.
Can anyone tell me how to make the shoulder/collar piece for Belle's yellow dress? I am making Violette a Simply Sweet version but don't know how to do the collar with the button in the middle. Thanks!
You could just drape the fabric across the top and tack it in the middle of the front. Arminda had a store boughten Belle dress that was made that way. I did the Sleeping Beauty top for a Big Give in a similar way. I think I put the picture of that one in the Photobucket account.
I can't wait to see what you and your DD make together. I think it is great that you can do that together. I hope my girls will still want to sew with me when they are your daughters age.

Oh Aimee! What a day!
Goodness, that IS a bad day! I can't help with the ruffler but I hope your toe feels better soon!
Would you guys like to know what I did today? Remember my scrapbooking desk?
Arminda enjoyed the picture!

Good job on all this organizing!
Just watched someone's hilarious home video of a DW trip...one of the oldest kids in the group has a shirt (while everyone else's is matching) that says "I Don't Do Matching Shirts" IT IS HILARIOUS! Of course now hubby wants one. I so totally have to do this now...thought I'd let y'all know in case you have a stick in the mudd, too....
Isn't that the BEST video ever! I just love it! Brian thinks we need to do that on our next trip! Seriously, how cool is my husband!??!!
In case anyone hasn't seen it yet, here's a link:

I loved that shirt too!
Hi Everyone!!
Steph, loved the purses!! Is the HK one Megans?
Emcreative - CUTE!!
Has anyone ever made one of those tote bags that has a place for crayons on the outside like the crayon roll up? I'd love to make one, but not sure how to go about it,,,,,,
Heather - any new big gives coming up???
I am working on one that should be up tomorrow.
Ok So this is another pattern that I just got off of YCMT.
This was the first time making it so please no jokes...
(NOTE I need to cut off the threads that are hanging out

)

This is beautiful!! And so is your daughter. Those colors are gorgeous and she looks great in them! What pattern was this?
Wooops, I forgot the pics!
This outfit is adorable!!!
Does your daughter have an earache?
Ok
ok. I'm sorry. My internet is down, hopefully I'll have it back up on Fri. And I promise lots of pictures. But first things first. The new princess has a name. It was awful being under the gun of the vital statistics office.
Her name is Violet. Violet Cincinnati.
And she is LOVELY! She has a touch of jaundice so we are nursing constantly and mom would like a nap but otherwise we are both well. She is a bit fussier than my other 2 were. She certainly had been acting like the youngest even since the false alarms!
Thank you all for your well wishes and concern. I love this thread!!!
I LOVE the name Violet!!!

Cincinnati, well, I guess it's kind of growing on me too!
the tension method or the dental floss method? I know someone on here said you can adjust the tension and it will ruffle. I haven't done it before, but I'm sure if you google for it you might find it.
I have the directions to this and several other gathering techniques right in the first post.
