[tricia]

Finished up some PJs for a friends twin grandchildren. She said anything dinosaur and I just happened to have this flannel lying around. Their names are Ethan and Aiden, thus the initials.






Also got a couple of more bags done for the daughter and granddaughter of a co-worker.

May I ask which pattern you are using for your bags? I feel a "need" to make some bags and have not found a pattern I like.

I love the pj's! What pattern do you use for the top? It's really cute! Also really like the bags.

It's the Aivilo Pocket Tote. It goes together very easily and can be made in any size. I made a bunch as teacher gifts this year and they all loved them.

It is Simplicity 3935. I used Easy Fits for the Pants of course. I have also added a cuff ala CarlaC to this top before. And I had this time too, but I must have measured wrong cause everything came out too long, (I realized once they were all done and had my DS try them on) so I just serged off the cuffs to bring things down to a normal length. Thank you.

Ok, I SERIOUSLY have too much fabric! If we are going to moving, I need to get rid of some it. Does anyone have experience with selling fabric on Etsy? Or should I just list on the "site that shall not be named" LOL.

Will they ban me from Disney if I sell some of my Disney fabric? LOL

Love the jammies. I have a cousin who has twin sons named Aiden and Ethan too.

I'm not sure what type of fabric I used for the top, it was chiffon-type fabric I found on the red dot clearance and thought it would be a simple way to get the yellow flower look on a belle dress. Because I had 2 different widths for the chiffon and cotton I gathered them separately. I gathered the chiffon and pinned to the bodice and then zigzag stitched it on and then I did the same with the cotton. After the cotton was zigzaged on I did my 1/4" seam. HTH! Whatever the fabric was it wasn't too hard to word with. I was worried it would fall apart with the stitching and gathering and it was fine.

Yes that does help...I was afraid of the same thing...that the fabric wouldn't hold up. Thanks!@!@

a fit everytime. I hear it is a stage, but I don't know...

Here they are! Cheap too!
I wish I had remembered to buy them there instead of Hobby Lobby! I think I just got rid of my receipt too.

Thanks for the link! Due to the stinginess of Springs Industries...we have to resort to this...If they would just put out fabric we wouldn't stress over finding it!

Here is what I did with the same shirt-------

I did put pintucks in the top to make it fit across. She is a skinny little 5Y.O. and the smallest t-shirt we could find was 7/8.


Toadstool - you quoted my ? but didn't answer it.. Can you please?

Wow that is awesome...love how you made it into a dress!!!

here is the first one

here is the second one

are you suppose to be able to see the light through them if you hold them up? Like this....

If you are then I guess I am doing ok.. If not I am not sure what I am doing wrong....
This is the last one for tonight I have to get the majority of the dress done before I put the other head in the skirt or should the applique be done first?

Great appliques...I dont think the holes will end up mattering if you use a interliner and liner...funny about hte needles...

I took my needle out and it says 110/18 ( i have a singer) the package says for heavy duty sewing on heavyweight fabrics I never thought about that part I have been using the same needle for 2 years!
I have a package of different size needles - 80/11, 90/14 & 100/16
I have no idea which is for what though!
I just looked on Singer's website - I guess I should be using the 90/14 one - that is what the chart says for satin.

I have to change mine regularly now that I am sewing so much...

So pretty, can you post the front again? I must have missed it the first time around, or I just want to see it again anyway, lol!

Ok let me dig out the pic.... gotta love the poses

Finally....I finished the set of tees for Crystal Palace lunch...

There were so many I couldn't get a good close up

Too cute. I wish I could get DH to wear a shirt. We are going Crystal Palace this time. I need to teach DD who the characters are.

I still need to lose 5 more lbs before we go. I'm hoping to get some new clothes before we go. I would have to throw my shirts together in a snap. DS may question shirts for me. HMMMMMM.....

 

[spongemommie05]

Love all the stuff posted ! of course I am behind i forgot how fast this thread moves

 

[poohnpigletCA]

What customs have you made for Disney's Hollywood studios?

That park has me stumped. Pictures please.

Hehe, you were my inspiration actually! I had bought the shirt already, but had no plans to alter it in anyway until I saw and fell in love with what you'd done with it. We have the 4/5 and although its huge, it wasn't long enough to make into a dress for us.

We had a Phineas an Ferb birthday party the weekend before last and I meant to have it done for that, but I never got around to it. Oh well, it'll be ready for our trip.

Hmmmmm....are you allowed to offer it here first?

 

[tracipierce]

OK, this may seem like an odd question but there is a reason - and it's even sewing related. I wanted to see if the Halloween poem "Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat" is familiar to people in various parts of the US (or anywhere Halloween is celebrated). I'm never sure if things like this are very regional and wouldn't make sense to people in most other areas.

We've heard of this in the UK too

um, you'll be offering that fabric (esp. Disney) to your dis friends first, right?

[DisneyKings]

Hi! I'm Shelley..I love looking at all of your beautiful clothes. After reading this thread and buying some other great clothes off of esty I decided to try to teach myself to sew Before Wednesday I think I'd only sewed on a button maybe once so this is all new to me. So here's my second project! My first is a dress but I still need to put on the buttons and am afraid to do button holes This one I was able to do this morning and I was happy with how it turned out. I got it from a tutorial I found here:
http://freshlypicked.blogspot.com/2008/03/pillow-case-dress-tutorial.html

I'm thinking of adding a couple of large yellow buttons at the neckline just to make it a little more Minnie like. What do you think?

so cute!

Introducing... Belle!

OOH! Just realized she needs the creases pressed out! Sorry! Now that I look at it, I think I'm gonna add a band across the bottom to accentuate the swoopy part. I'll get to that - maybe tonight.

Wow! beautiful!!!

Hmmmmm....are you allowed to offer it here first?

Yes, Cindee offer it here first or post your id in your signature!


Has anyone found a good source for a cute 1st day of preschool outfit. I know I've seen some cute back to school dresses here, but I can't seem to find any appropriate fabric around here...

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

I changed to the smallest needle I have in my house 80/11. I did the minnie applique again and reread Heathersue tut. so I madeoutside stitch so the needle came down right on the edge but still on the applique. Here is the picture of the first applique....

here is the second one w/ the smaller needle & moving the stitch more on the applique...

Which looks better to you applique gurus out there?

 

[tricia]

well, you can def. see the difference. The second one looks more solid, since you can see the yellow thru the stitches in the first one a bit. I'm not sure which I prefer though. I will also await others opinions, cause I'm not sure which way it should be done.
