The leather is so stiff on the payless ones that even this trick doesn't work to keep them tied. The laces still come out and come untied. I HATE payless dance shoes. For about $2 more you can get capezio daisy. Much better quality!!

her first fall class is tomorrow..im ordering her new ones lol i cant stand the payless ones...dont ask me how but 3x last year dd came home with someone elses shoes, after the recital when she did it there was no way to get hers back.

Okay.. once I see fabric I want, I have to have it! One of the co-ops that some of us use has these prints, but it looks like they are going to get dropped. Has anyone seen these for sale anywhere? They are Michael Miller, and I need to find them.... so who has seen them and where?

sewmamasew has the Two by Two stripe and the Quarter Dot. You can find them here: http://www.sewmamasew.com/ccp0-catshow/CLMMBASICS.html

I don't think the Plain Jane in these colors is out yet - I think it was slated for "fall release". I've not seen it anywhere; I've only seen navy/yellow. If you find it, will you let me know where? I've been searching for the Lil Plain Jane in aqua myself.

I just thought I'd tell you what I realized about my Sally applique.

I recently watched Nightmare Before Christmas for the first time. The twins have discovered it and they love it. So I'm really checking out Jack and Sally and I realize that the Sally I did for Olivia is BACKWARDS! I traced the design out and then I must have flipped the paper over somehow when cutting out my pieces, and the design is BACKWARDS! Sally's stitching is supposed to be over her other eye!

Do I laugh, or do I cry??

Love all the great things posted today!!!!!

Jeanne - love how you went matchy matchy!! I think Croc sells just the straps for replacement...would be much cheaper than buying a new pair.

Marlo - TDF outfit for Nikki!!! I bet she loves it! Tell Daisy she looks pretty too! I love her coloring! Great job on all of those raglans!!!

I know I missed so many people...but I am loving everything!!!!

Hope back-to-school went well today for all those returning after Labor Day! Here are my three...all off to school! I blogged all about it today if you want the long version...lol!

I am trying to sew this week so hopefully I will have something to show you later on!!!

Sew On Sisters and Tom!!!!

Look how adorable your girls are!!!!!!!!!

DD4 started preschool for the first time, I just love the precious dress--it comes together so easily! This was my first time making korker bows too

(it's nursery rhyme toile in case you can't tell)

so pretty! I love Toile.

Wow you all have been busy!

We took advantage of the long weekend and wandered north to Vancouver. Had fun and the kids did great. Hubby tracked down a fabric store for me to check out, it was very different from my local JoAnn type. And if I had lots of time to sort thru and the family wasn't in the car, I might have spent a wad

DS started Kindergarten today!
And I am starting to plan out some sewing projects again!
I found this fleece on the remnant rack at JoAnn and tried my hand at "winging it" on a a-line type dress for DD. I originally cut it really long and she wanted shorter.... then I thought it was too short and I added the yellow. It has a hoodie type pocket in front (what are those called?) that I tried match the print so it's hidden a bit. But DD wont take it off so that's a good thing.
I cut the neck a bit big. I hope with a shirt under it will be less distracting for me. And I will re-draw my pattern so its smaller next time.

And yes, she was eating Cheetos, right before I took the picture

so cute!

Oh my goodness you laugh! That applique is gorgeous and I couldn't dream of starting anew. THink of it as your spin on the character!
It is gorgeous, I wouldn't change a thing. AND I love NBC and didn't notice it.

THANK YOU for all the kind comments on my Cinderella sundress! I really appreciate all of your kind words - she was a lot of fun to create. I have been wanting to make her for a long time, and just finally had to get her done. I'm loving her!

I think it looks great, and I'm doubting that anyone is really gonna notice. I'd leave it alone, and as someone else posted, claim it as your creative spin on the character!

How about this one?
it's really inexpensive and looks like it would be easy to shorten the bodice if you needed to.
or there's a cute princess and even better princess leia costume here:
http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Belle-Infant-Costume-suggest/dp/B000PI2QL8
and then you could dress DS like Luke Skywalker

and here's a tinkerbelle bunting:
http://www.bizrate.com/baby-costumes/baby-tinkerbell-bunting-costume/
and then DS could be peter pan or cpt. hook, like you originally thought.

I better stop now...

Thanks so much, but those Belle costumes are out of stock (and didn't see the Leia one, was another Belle link). I want her to match up with DH (who is really into dressing up for Halloween, we don't have a DS yet ). And that is the tink bunting I mentioned in my post that seems off to me, I'm not loving it. . . but I will put it down on the maybe list. Thanks so much for your help!

More of you can chime in, I still would love some opinions and/or suggestions!

Sally's stitching is supposed to be over her other eye!

Do I laugh, or do I cry??

You laugh - only someone really hardcore about NBC may notice, plus who will be scrutinizing so much? It looks fabulous. . . OH and you can just say it is Sally looking in the mirror if anyone questions it

Need your HELP!

So it may seem silly in the grand scheme of things. . . but I need help thinking of what my soon to be born baby could wear for Halloween - she can be as "big" as one month old (taking for granted she will wait til at least full term, which for me is Sept 25) and as small as a couple days old (I will be 42 weeks Oct. 30th - and by FL law she has to be out by then). At first I wanted to do some sort of matching with DH - I really was hoping Disney would have the Captain Hook costume and he could be hook and she would be tink - but they aren't selling it this year. Plus, I'd have to find or make a tink costume (and I don't like teh bunting version of the tink costume). Then I thought I'd make her a pirate (DH has a pirate hat, and some accessories). . . but then I started to question of I want her to dress up as a pirate her very first haloween what would the grandparents think say, etc. Needless to say, I had the fabric in hand to make her a skirt, corset and bandana in one of the girly skull and bones fabrics at walmart today, and put it back. I told DH my dillema, and he thought it would be cute to dress her as a monkey - since we started calling her "baby monkey" before we knew her sex, way back when I was 7 weeks pregnant. Anyhow, the costumes for that are either basically expensive PJ's or will be too big (they claim to be newborn to 6 months - um, I doubt it will properly fit a newborn if it fits a 6 month old well). DH jokingly (or maybe not so jokingly) suggested that we get a stuffed monkey, like the one we bought for her the week we found out I was pregnant, empty it, and make an opening on the back and put her in that. Then I started searching for baby bunting costumes and found this: http://www.target.com/Snow-White-Co...ndex&frombrowse=0&rh=k:Bunting Costume&page=1 Which I think is totally cute, and iwll have to run by DH - but now I am thinking it would be soooo much better to have one that is for Belle because her name will be Isabel and we've decided the only nicknames we'll allow are Belle (or Bell) and Isabelita (little Isabel in spanish), but of course I can't find any.

So this is totally unimportant, and sorry I rambled for so long (I'll blame the hormones) - BUT what do you think we should dress her as. Are there are cute things our there to buy - OR what are your suggestions on something I can make?? If all else fails they have cute little things at walmart (pumpkin, dog, etc) but it is her first Halloween. . . and I want her to look cute. . . ugh, lol! Give me your opinions - even if it is a suggestion for something we haven't thought of. . . What should she be, and where can we get it for as cheap as possible OR how can I make it! THANKS for listening to the ramblings of a hormonal 34.5 week pregnant woman

I will be honest. Do not worry about it. Do you have plans for Halloween? Because depending on when you deliver, you may not feel like leaving the house at all. I know that with Lauren I did not leave the house with her for 2 weeks because I felt like dirt and there was very little sleep happening in our house at that time.
I have already "cancelled" Thanksgiving in our house this year. I am due 3 days before Thanksgiving and I have told my family if they want to see us that day (they live 2 hours away) they have to come to us and they have to bring their own food.

Laugh!

I really don't think anyone would notice. But if they do, ESPECIALLY if they have children near and dare say anything, just tell them that Sally sent you the picture herself, and in order to take her own picture she had to use a mirror, so OF COURSE the image seems flipped! All mirrors do that!

I agree that planning something too elaborate for a newborn may not be the best idea. But I do understand wanting to do something cute for a Halloween Baby.

How about a orange knit hat with a green stem. Then applique on a onesie a cute phrase or a Mickey head pumpkin.

If you want to go with Tinkerbell, I would find a green onesie, and try to make a little tiny petalskirt out of some broadcloth. Something soft and simple. Newborns have trouble regulating their body temperature although you are in Miami so it won't be that big of a deal. If you want to go with Belle, then get a yellow onesie and make a cute little yellow skirt to go with it. Make a coordinating blanket for either Tinkerbell or Belle, maybe add one of the Cutie Princess Appliques that HeatherSue has to the Blanket with Baby's name?
Of course, show us what you end up creating!! You are getting really close to delivery! How exciting.

Thanks you two! I don't plan on taking her out - I just didn't want to not do anything! I LOVE your ideas, and may have to use one of them. . . hmm. . . Maybe I can do the tink/hook thing next year when she'll be 12 months old and it will be easy to do/find something and use one of your blanket/onsise ideas. . THANKS!

Maybe go to Babies R Us and see what they have. In the past, they have had cute pumpkin outfits. Target has some cute Halloween outfits too.
Lauren's first Halloween she was 4.5 months old. My aunt had knitted her a pumpkin hat, so Lauren wore the hat and a Halloween onsie from BRU. If I do say so myself, she was adorable. And I am cheap so I wasn't willing to spend money for a costume she would only wear for less than on hour.

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I finally finished the Very Hungry Caterpillar outfit. I think that the gathering was a bigger pain than the appliques. For some reason the tension completely messed up on the skirt part & it took 3 tries to get it to gather at all & even then it wouldn't do it right. Oh well, it's done & she loves it. I had to remind her that it's for tomorrow before she'd agree to take it off.

I love this! Great job!


Fantasmic Pkg:

Has anyone done this recently? We have this booked for next week and I know it has changed since last year. They tell you that you need to show up a half hour early to a different entrance, but I have heard that's not true anymore. I've heard you need to show up at least an hour early to the main entrance and try to bypass all of those people. Is that true? Can anyone explain to me what we really need to do?

What does DH want to be? My BIL likes to be Villians, so we start there if we do the MNSSHP. If you want to go with the "monkey" theme, what about you and DH being Jasmine and Aladdin with DB being Abu? A little had, red vest. A brown Tshirt. Monkey themed booties.

Your Sally solution was brilliant!!
