Deann,

These are the customs from our trip last year. Sophee was not quite a size 2 yet.

Just because-

I found the other Evil Queen-

all of these are great- but I love the nemo ones! I have that wide satin "blanket binding" with nemo, bought it, but didnt know what I would do with it- Ill have to remember that idea for our next trip! and I have some of the nemo fabric too. now, if I can manage to remember!

I love all of the AG posts. I'm really kicking myself for not getting the bitty babies.

I'm so sorry for the little girl who fell on the escalator. I hate escalators. I was at the mall once when a little boy got his hand caught in it. It was awful.

I have a silvermist costume question. My 10 year old wants me to make her a silvermist costume. I've been looking at google images and it looks to me like the one in the park might be a shirt and skirt. I think that might get the best flair around the waist before the bottom part starts. Does that make any sense?

What do you all think?

I also wondered if anyone knew if they sell stuff that you could spray on fabric to make it look like the dew drops they have on artificial flowers. I tried to google, but didn't have much luck.

I'd appreciate any tips or advice.

Have you seen the simplicity pattern for all the faries? DD has requester rosetta for haloween, and I am using it. It looks pretty authentic and not too hard.

I have NO idea how/if this will work, but this was all I could find for some sort of glimmery spray. (I couldn't find stuff to make dew drops either.)

I also agree that it looks like the Silvermist costume used in the parks is in two pieces. In the last image on this page:

http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_h...alkaround-versions-of-the-disney-fairies.aspx

It looks like the top is one piece with an asymmetrical flouncy bit coming down from the waist on the right side and then the bottom is a skirt with similar asymmetrical tiers. Even if the costume itself isn't actually constructed that way, I see no reason you couldn't elect to do that instead of making it one piece. Looks like it'd be hard to get into and out of if it was in one piece.

Here are the tunics I made for my girls and my great niece.

These are so cute! Love the use of the border fabric on the tunic, awesome!

I made my youngest DD(6) a couple of things for our trip Wednesday. Here's a simple little Buzz sundress:

And a Dug (Up) Vida. It is growing on me. I need to do more applique so I can get better and be happy with the results. Emma LOVES it so that is what really matters!

I really like the buttons for the eyes. I think the eyes might be a bit too close but Emma says to leave it as it is. I got the image from a coloring book and he had his eyes closed in the picture so placement was a bit tough. I also really love the balloon fabric-got that on fabricsgalore-got the Buzz there too.

Cute! I like the button eyes a lot, too!

I finally uploaded some disboutiquer appropriate photos that I wanted to share. I really don’t sew but when my nieces were small I did smock (and with a lot of assistance manage to finish) a dress for each of them.

I also have a sweet lady who has sewn for me for years who I got to make a Sleeping Beauty (my favorite princess & movie) dress for my niece.

My sister-in-law with my nieces - the Tinkerbell was purchased.

That smoking is beautiful!

The Simplicity line from several years ago really are the most authentic, and the most complex as well. Belle was 9902, Cindy was 9393, Aurora/Snow White was 9384, and Jasmine was 9919. I did just finish my first version of Jasmine for my daughter for our upcoming trip. I used the pants from this pattern, but ended up fashioning my own top from this pattern and another in the books currently. I also blinged it up to look more like Jasmine in the parks:

I haven't done the Evil Queen yet, but plan to do so for myself (YEAH!) for MNSSHP this year.... I already did a new Snow White for my daughter and we plan to stalk Snow and her dwarfs at the Halloween party for some fun pics!

That is awesome! blingalicious!

Here is my DD Mike dress. My DH loves this one.

Love love love love love love this! So Cute!!!

The fabric you picked is just perfect! Great Job!!



I am not sure off the top of my head but I do think there was a pretty authentic Snow White pattern from Simplicity. It might have included Cinderella.

I did not do an Evil Queen costume but I did a custom. She is a favorite around here.

Deann,

I found the other Evil Queen-

So, so cute; and perfectly coordinated (sigh) I really, really need another girl...

Quick question:

I have to make Mickey/Minnie face projects for a big give. I've never made the faces before, is there a particular shade of cotton that works well for the face? I looked through my stash, but everything is either too peach, or too ivory I think.

 

[Clutterbug]

I kind of jumped into the middle of the thread here today, but I'm loving all the bright, fun outfits posted recently! I'm also loving all the AG pictures. Megan is almost 10 and just recently developed a love for AG dolls. She got Emily for Christmas and then had a blast with some friends at the AG Boutique in Boston in January. I made all the girls and dolls matching round neck tops.

Megan and Emily

They weren't too excited to get inside!

Here is Emily in the carryall that I made recently. Megan takes her to daycare a few days a week.

Those are really cute! I love the tink, but I don't know if I could figure out how to do the skirt part yet. Thanks for responding....I was beginning to wonder if anyone saw my question. I guess I am just really nervous to try it because I don't know if it will look good and I don't have that much experience with sewing. I don't want to waste all of that fabric. Any helpful hints? I can't decide if I will give it a whirl or not.

I'm sure you weren't being ignored - the thread is just moving so fast it probably got missed I was PAGES behind so I caught it.

What colors are you thinking about using for a stripwork? I think it will be cute. Lay all your fabrics out together to get an idea of what it will look like - I do this and always wind up adding or taking away fabrics that I thought were perfect until I aid them all together. If you want to try the petal type "skirt" I can talk you through it. I used a butterick pattern for the petals (pattern #6660 - probably the same one Mirb1214 is talking about) and it was the 2nd pattern I ever "altered" It was easy to do.

Love the ooshing!!! My DH asked tonight why I haven't been to the fabric store yet. I said I didn't want DD & DGD to think that is the only reason I was up here! However, if I had my choice I would have been there by now!

Hehe! THat is nice that your hubby encourages your fabric addiction. Mine does not!

Hmmm... when I turned it on they said they only had the brunette Bitty twins and no blondes! She must've said the reverse of what she meant! Anywa- they did have the brunettes and the blondes. maybe if you keep checking back on QVC they'll sow back up agan?

I think I heard them say there is a show each month until Christmas, so I will be looking. I want to be able to pick their eyes and hair color. I didn't know if they let you do that at all on qvc.

The LOVED them....thank you so much! It made the flight MUCH more enjoyable Here's "Boo" with hers (she was so excited to see Lilo, I didn't show her until on the plane!):

Aww! Thanks for posting the picture. I am glad she liked it!

I am so behind on reading this thread. We have been out of town for four days and I feel like I will never catch up. We are leaving for the beach tomorrow and I will have to play catch up again when we get back. I just wanted to say I love everything posted as usual it is all beautiful.

Oooh.. what beach are you going to? We were thinking about going to Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, but haven't decided yet. Our water here in Grand Isle just had an advisory saying it is unsafe to go in. I'm so bummed about it. Hannah really loves the beach.

That is gorgeous! Did you glue the beads on the fabric???

Omgosh! I love them all, but this one is gorgeous. I don't really like the evil characters, but they make such pretty outfits. My Hannah definitely does not like them. I tried convincing her she needed an evil queen outfit. She said no evil on her dress.. lol

The fabric is from a sheet set (which I have VERY LITTLE left of:) I am on the lookout for more!
C

I figured. It is so cute.

The Hobby Center is nice, but not an opera house. DH and I saw Lion King there. If you are going on a weekday most people will probably be in work clothes. My mom and I used to have season tickets to the Alley Theater (just across the square from Hobby center) and we would leave work, grab dinner downtown and then go to the play. You'll find that a lot and there are a number of restaurants that cater to the pre-show dinner crowd.

I really want to go to the Cheesecake Factory, but I don't know if it is next to the Hobby Center. We saw Backyardigans live there, but I don't remember much about it. The show starts at 8, so I figure we have plenty time to go and eat. DH says we need to eat by 6. I don't get why he'd want to be really early to a show that has prearranged seating. Thank you for the info though. I'm really thinking about making a shirt with the phantom logo now.. lol

Finished another VIDA. This has to be my new favorite pattern and it is soooo easy. I took off the bottom panel and just added the ruffle instead so it was a bit shorter. Can't wait to see this one on Abby. Dot fabric is Amy Butler and the other I picked up at Hancock...

I think you forgot your pictures??

I am working on Emma by ModKids. I hope it comes out as cute as it is in my head.
My embroidery machine is back home, but the cord is still at the shop in New Orleans. Hopefully they will mail it here quickly. I don't want to make a trip just for the power cord. I can't go to New Orleans without shopping.
I need it to come back so I can finish the Wubbzy dress I am working on. I made a bunch of designs for it, and need to test them. Hannah loves Wubbzy!

Thanks for all the nice comments on Jasmine. The jewels are glued on, one at a time. I did have a terrible time with the ones on the gold inset on the pants. I'm thinking I might lose a few of those.

I've struggled with the best way to attach flat back jewels, and I love bling, so I just keep trying different things.

Any suggestions????

 

[luvmichaelbuble]

I've been lurking here for MONTHS and never commented. All of you are so talented!! I could never make anything like what you do. I don't sew @ all but would love 2.

eeek - I've been busy and missed the move - I guess page 23 isn't too bad. . . now to go back and catch up!

I made this for the little girl Traci posted about:

And this for my sister:

I am making one for my mom and the fabric has a hole in it! I didn't notice it until I was unpinning the pattern piece. I will see what JoAnn's has to say about it tomorrow (probably too bad, so sad).

I also made Jacob some pj pants but he won't let me take a picture of them. They have weiner dogs all over them and might be "girly." Also he got his haircut and is embarrassed about it. I think it looks great!

 

[revrob]

Hey, guys, I could use some help! I KNOW I've seen an embroidery machine applique design of the Mickey pumpkin recently for sale. I had the design last year, and I seem to have lost it somehow. I need one! Does anyone remember seeing this design and where? TIA!

Was it that one? Or did you want one with the lines?

It wasn't that one - the one I remember seeing (though now I'm wondering if I was imagining it?) had the lines down the pumpkin and a stem and a leaf or two at the stem.
