Your girls a beautiful! You should submit their photos to the cute kid contest! i think its Our 365 hosting the competition....

I love the black and pink combination. It makes me keep rethinking what I want to do for dd for MK. I also think I have that same black fabric with white circular/swirl dots. Mine was on clearance at Walmart so I had no choice but to buy it. And your girls are gorgeous! Whaen I initially glanced at the first picture I thought your baby was a babydoll -- she's flawless!

Thanks everyone on the nice comments. I did entered my oldest in the Parents Magazine contest but she was not a finalist.

The pink combo was not my idea, I cased it from someone else on here.

I have never seen this thread so far down the page.
I was wondering if any of you creative, brilliant people could give me some ideas of what I can make with this

It is a shirt that my DS 11 has outgrown but he now fits into his brother's (his brothers is dark blue) and I want to use this material to make something for DD6 so they can match for our 2 O'Hana meals. I can applique the old fashioned way but I have no idea what pattern to use. The biggest useable piece is 17X22. I can't wait to see if you have any ideas, dress, skirt ???? DD will not wear shorts or pants
Thanks, Christine

somewhere, a while ago, somenone made their child a dress out of the dads old shirt. There was a pattern and everything. It would be cute to do that with this shirt!

What length are they?? I have a bunch of chiffon I am going to use to make my little one some pettis for our Disney trip. She is just now 1 year (13 months) and will be 17 months during the trip. I plan on making most of her skirts 9-10inches long, so how long should the petti be? I am good with them showing a bit.

Also...I like when the pettis have the ribbon over the seam. Is that just sewn on - with one or two lines of stitching?? Is is on both the top and under layers??

Thanks!!!

I might try either a patch work or stripwork skirt using some of the pieces and combining them with coordinating material. I would save one of the flowers to applique on a shirt to wear with the skirt.

Another option might be to pieces together what you can and use it as a ruffle along the bottom of a dress and use some of the material for straps or a waistband as well.

How about a Vida jumper? You could certainly get at least the front & back bodice out of that. I think you could get the large front panel out of it but not sure on the front & back panels.

And last but not least (Actually it's my FAVORITE); I CASED My*Sweet*Sunshines Tink outfit. This was THE outfit that made me decide I was going to dig my sewing machine out and LEARN how to sew! (THANK YOU LESLIE!!) Mollie can't wait to wear it in Oct to meet the Fairies (and neither can I).

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE on this board that have gotten me this far! You all have given me a new passion!

That is the cutest Tink I've ever seen!! Would you mind sharing where you got the clip art or design from? Thanks!!

Oh, honey, I don't think it is your TBI, I think it is the software, to be honest... I tried it last weekend and I STRUGGLED. My DH was finally able to do things, but it took him all night to figure it out. I have VIP customizing for my Viking and I didn't struggle at ALL! Don't worry... it is not just you!

It is hard to learn Embird as I am still trying to do so. However, I have an applique tutorial I have managed to "master" I will look for it tomorrow and send you a link! Good luck!

Thanks friends for the support. I did learn 1 new thing finally and that was the connection stitch and that I can place it with nodes. I had the first one going thru the lions face. I also can now insert nodes for adjustments. I think part of the problem is the I am using 8 and I don't see parameters but I did find them.

I bought the Carolyn tutorial on applique but it is still kicking my butt. Learning is harder but I am determined! I don't have my machine yet and won't until next week but I do have the software on the trial version of embird and also PE Design. Design is nearly $9oo That is more than my machine!!!! So I would like to learn Embird but I will need a year to learn and there is no support where I live. Perhaps Santa will deliver the easier PE Design by Brother since I got the machine early.

PIxeegirl, please PM me as I would love to share anything you have that would help and also a few things I have found to give to you.

I haven't been able to post for awhile. I don't know how so many of you are able to make these gorgeous outfits and post them so often. I haven't been able to find some time to sew!! I am hoping now that schol is starting, I'll have more time.
This is DD3 NBC outfit. Thanks to Disneylovingfamily, I was able to put these adorable Mickey spiderheads on the ends of the ties. The barrettes are also courtesy of her ideas!! I am making a 2nd pair forDD5, she told me she will be wearing hers next week for the first day of kinder!

I haven't had time to comment, but I really love the new creations!!

It sounds like you're getting there, April! It takes a LONG time to learn Embird, it's not just you! I'm glad the tutorial I suggested is helping out a little bit.

You can do it!

I would plan on making her skirts about an inch shorter than the pettiskirt. So if you make 10 inch skirts make the petti 11-12 inches. That way you can see the fluff.

The other tip is make sure your skirts are really wide. I make all our skirts/dresses 80-90 inches wide so the fit nicely over the pettiskirt.

Have Fun!!!

You guys are just amazing, I cannot thank you enough for all the ideas!!

somewhere, a while ago, somenone made their child a dress out of the dads old shirt. There was a pattern and everything. It would be cute to do that with this shirt!

That will work great!! A lot less work than starting from scratch too.

I might try either a patch work or stripwork skirt using some of the pieces and combining them with coordinating material. I would save one of the flowers to applique on a shirt to wear with the skirt.

Another option might be to pieces together what you can and use it as a ruffle along the bottom of a dress and use some of the material for straps or a waistband as well.

I think I will have to do some of this too seeing how this is a size 7 boys top I will be adding some extra fabric and can applique some flowers onto it. Great idea!!

How about a Vida jumper? You could certainly get at least the front & back bodice out of that. I think you could get the large front panel out of it but not sure on the front & back panels.

I will be mixing a vida and the "shirt to dress" pattern, thank you

Isabelle looks gorgeous in this dress, i love it!



Have you looked into very basic cable? We had the stupid box from February (when all our stations switched to digital) until June when I couldn't take the 1/2 a channel we were getting! We pay $10 a month for Basic. It was really hard to find it on the cable website though, they weren't advertising it anywhere, I had to do a search for it.

Thats what I had before I got married. (but that was cable) I guess DirectTvs cheapest package is $29.99 plus $5 for every box, but they have a program where you can suspend your service for 6 months- which was our plan anyway, maybe in 6 months we will then get the "basic" Tom will have FoxNews withdrawls LOL.

I finally went back in the sewing room today and finished up Katie's Vida for the beach...she LOVES it...so do I! I went off of every tutorial that has been posted...so THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Nice!

I think that was for Megan- but she had a men's xlarge to work with. Stephers?

How about a bodice and then stringwork jumper

That is the cutest Tink I've ever seen!! Would you mind sharing where you got the clip art or design from? Thanks!!

Thanks! The Tink came off a pillowcase. I bought my pillowcase at K-Mart b/c Walmart no longer carries them. Actually my husband picked up me each of the pillowcases they had, Tink, LM, and Cinderella/Sleep Beauty b/c he kept hearing me talk about all the cute things everyone on the Disboards were making w/ the pillowcases. He was building up brownie points I guess!

Im thinking of making Hannah's baby dedication dress. I was thinking I could use the Precious dress pattern...the arm bands are a little wider than I have seen in ready-made dresses, but that could be okay.
I have been chatting with our resident heirloom sewer (Toadstool) and I was thinking I might like to add some color to the gown- with a sash across the front/ties....But how do you add a sash? Should it be attached by sewing it into the seam when attaching the bodice to the skirt?? And I could maybe fold it in have with raw edges in the seam??
Im thinking I might like to work with dupioni silk, I havent decided if I want to try and add lace or endtredeaux and then lace to the hem. Or Maybe I could do a "cuff" type hem in the contrasting colored silk???
Kira has been giving me lots to think about- but Id love others too.

But really, I need to know how to add a sash to the front..
heres one I found online that resembles the precious dress-

oh and this one (like several others) has no collar- should I do a collar or not?

DH made it home safely finally! I will probably be MIA until we get back from Disney World.... I may get a chance to peak at all the pretty things being posted while he and Taylor play though. Taylor is bouncing off the walls excited waiting for him to get out of the shower so they can play.

Hopefully I'll have lots of wonderful pictures and a great TR to post when we get back.
