Great outfits. Why wouldn't she take off the sweater?

Thanks! I'm not really sure, but she wore it all day. In July. In Florida.

Hope my kiddos look half as cute in their outfits (or that the outfits don't fall apart...whatever ) as she does in hers. Too cute!

Thank you. I'm sure they will be adorable and will not fall apart

Hey, I saw these pictures on facebook! They're are all so cute!

facebook is why I haven't been here in so long Thanks

Everything looks so great, I love the Minnie dress and the Vida the most I think. =D

I think they were my two favorites, as well.

Love them! The fairies are too cute & I love that Eeyore fabric. We have a few things made with that at our house too.

I had that Eeyore fabric forever before I decided what I wanted to do with it. I think I still have more of it.

Now I'm looking for ideas for a trip in December dd and I will be taking alone. I have never been to FL any later than Nov 2 and I have no idea what the weather will be like. We are going to the Christmas party on 12/4, so I want to make something for that. Any suggestions or ideas are more than welcome!

I so need to get my sewing in gear. Only a few more days and I still have 8 outfits to do.


Question:

So my saga continues about the dress. I finally got it after almost 2 months and it has a big label on the front of who made it. She serged the label on and it will tear the silk to remove it. The label is in the front about 6 inches from the hem and measures 3.5in by 5in. Am I being to picky by complaining to her. It makes the dress look so tacky. Best part was she sent a reminder about how I need to leave feedback. I am not sure she wants my feedback. I did go thru the pics again and it shows no label.

Thanks.

I have finished a few things. This is Abbey's Steamboat Willie Outfit. I'll put a shirt under them.

DD12 halloween costume. If anyone can guess who she is supposed to be, I will be satisfied. I made easy fit pants, a faux vest and a jacket from a commercial pattern. I nearly pulled my hair out sewing this!! What a PITB!! The instructions were pretty vague. I am a perfectionist, and I have to keep telling myself, "this is a costume!!"

Soooooo cute!! Love the dress and the costume!

LOL I was thinking the same thing!

And I don't think it's "losers" who come in after page 10...I like to think of them as those cool, fashionably late people who arrive to a party an hour or so after the start so that all eyes are on them as they make a grand entrance!

I must be the height of fashion, because my first post of the new thread is on page 55.

The reason that I have not been posting is because we have been going through this major ordeal in our house. We have been debating back and forth and back and forth on whether or not to move out of the state that we live in. After several months we have decided that we will definitely be moving out of state. We have yet to figure out where to move to. We were going to move to Indiana at the end of this month, but due to DH not finding a job there and not having enough money for more than just one month's income we have decided that we will not be moving at the end of this month and have now decided that we do not want to move to Indiana at all. (Does your head hurt yet? Cuz mine does) DH is now leaning towards us moving to FL in the Orlandoish area. He is convinced that he would be able to find a job there faster than he could in Indiana, due to all of the hotels, shops, restaurants, and of course amusement parks. He really likes to work customer service so I think that that is a good place to look, however it has one of the things that I so desperately want to get away from: The HEAT!!! Anyways long post over. If anyone has any ideas please feel free to clue me in one them.

I have not sewn anything. I was supposed to make a Molly dress for Jenna for tomorrow. I now have an hour and a half to get it done and I don't see that happening, because it is only cut out and it has a lot of curvy parts. I'll post it when I finally do get it done, though.

I just looked through some of the pages on this thread and I am AMAZED at everyone creativity and sewing abilities. I am in awe of everyone's dresses and outfits. We are going for the first time in December and I just love all things disney so I just wanted to tell everyone that everything is beautiful!!!!

 

[jham]

That is so pretty!! My kids don't really do dresses, except DD3. I am worried how I'm going to get DD5 to wear the latest outfit I'm making. Now I know what to look for at DL at the beginning of the month!! Ihave a question for you, have you been to DL's halloween party, if so kids wear costumes, right? That probebly is a dumb question. Thanks

Thanks! I love all the stuff you've been making your kids! I'll keep an eye out for you! We have been to the Halloween party twice, the kids wore costumes but not everyone has them, most definitely do though. Many adults do too.

I love this pattern (Boo dress) where is it from?

Thanks!

It is the Simply Sweet jumper bodice with a made-up twirl skirt. I posted the directions earlier in the thread somewhere.

I'm so sorry your family is going through all of that. One of my oldest friends lives in Orlando (just outside of Universal Studios) and he said the job market there is not very good right now. Also, the schools are hit or miss. I know he has chosen to have his son in private school because he was not happy with the public schools. You might want to visit and check into it prior to making any moves there. Good Luck!!!

And since I'm hogging the thread this morning, I'll show off what I'm working on currently.

DD3's 1st day preschool is Tuesday. I'm not ready for this at all. She's my baby. It's 2 1/2 hours a day 2 days a week. It's not like I'm getting to be home with her right now anyway, but still. Anyway, this is her outfit so far.

Right now, I'm wondering why in the world I decided I needed to do ALL of the food the caterpillar eats on this top, but I'll get it done somehow.

I need to go get busy now. DD6's birthday party is tomorrow & I have a lot of getting ready for it to do since I have to work until 4 tomorrow. And I have to make a back-up plan 'cause it's supposed to rain & this was supposed to be a beach party cook-out.

That will be so cute! I have a hungry caterpillar jumper planned for Lily and it still hasn't been made. The fabric has been washed though! Yours looks great! I love all the little food appliques! You found some great fabrics to use on those.

 

[karebear1]

We got back from our mother/daughter trip Wednesday night, but I haven;t been caught up enough til now to post. I decided right away to forget about being caught up on this thread, so I only read the last 6 pages. Will post a few pics when they are done being loaded into photobucket.

 

[carrie6466]

Just wanted to say that I love the Boo outfit and Steamboat Willie and all the Hungry caterpillar stuff!!

Does anyone know what they do at the MVMCP? I know at Halloween they have the candy stations and at the Pirate and Princess they had the treasure stations, I'm wondering what they do at the Christmas parties?

I'm wondering too, that's what we're hoping to do Dec 2010~


Oh by the way, I thought I'd let the ladies and Tom know that tomorrow should end Lizzie's "suffering" as I'm hoping to surprise the girls and take them to see "Ponyo" since it finally came to our town. Of course I've got to figure out a way to tell her to wear her shirt without her becoming suspicious...any ideas?

At the Christmas party they have hot chocolate & Christmas cookies.

OK here is the outfit I worked on for the last two days. She agreed to put the jeans on only for the pics.

I LOVE that fabric. I used her Tossed Kitties fabric for DD's nursery, but if the dog line had been out at the time I would have used it instead!

I was gonna say the same thing as Steph, except I think you can use single fold bias tape? It's not quite as bulky, so that's what I would probably try. Like Steph said, just stitch on either side & insert the elastic and finish stitching.

The last pair of bloomers I made (with a commercial pattern) used single fold bias tape for the elastic. I loved how the final product looked.

I use the sulky iron on first, then a thicker tear away under that. Since I started doing that (and the ball point needle the girls talked about) I haven't seen the puckering. Hmmm, guess the $35 on the class last week was worth it. FWIW, the instructor in my stabilizer class recommended poly mesh stabilizer for t's. I think it might be Floriani; but it's pricey

I bought that poly mesh stablizer, but haven't tried it yet. I'll let you know what I think of it when I finally get around to trying it. It wasn't cheap though... $20 or $30 a roll (and at a shop 45 minutes away!) I read about it on a tutorial for an applique alpha set I purchased.

For those of you who buy Carla C. (i.e. everyone on here) do you prefer going through ycmt or etsy? I've always bought through ycmt because I like the online library. I am afraid I may lose one on my computer. How do etsy patterns work, or should I just ask Carla? I am planning on buying a few new patterns today and just wanted some opinions.

I like buying from YCMT because of the library. I like having access to them at the office (if I spend my lunch hour shopping for fabric on-line I can pull up the patterns for fabric requirements.)

I have the brother 6000i and got the ruffler foot from joann's for my birthday and I am also in the process of making my last outfit before we leave in a week. Of course I am making a patchwork twirl skirt and I can't figure out how to use my ruffler foot or even attach it to my machine!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to hand gather these forever long strips. I have looked at Carla C's ruffler tutorial....and sadly, I still can't figure out how to attach it. I am running out of time and still have soooooooooooooo much to do!!

Can anyone please help me? I think Heather has the same machine as me. I would greatly appreciate any help and advice on how to use this thing easily so I can get this done!!!

Thanks!
