The instructions I have for a pettiskirt calls for Nylon Chiffon. I went to Joanns and Hobby Lobby this weekend and they both only had Polyester Chiffon. What's the difference in the two? HL has the Poly Chiffon on sale this week for $2.99 yd but I don't want to get it if it won't work well. What do ya'll think??

You DEFINITELY need nylon and not polyester chiffon. The reason is that the nylon does not unravel. Because of the way the pettiskirt is made, there will be raw edges exposed. If you use anything that unravels, the raw edgess will be a mess. The only place I've seen the nylon to purchase is online. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
 
I really like my new a-line pattern. This is what I made today.

Now, I want to make something for Abbie, my eleven year old. She likes the round neck. Is this pattern as easy as the other ones?

That is so cute! But where did you get your bedding? My DD12 would LOVE that!

I finished Cinderella this morning!

Gorgeous Shannon!

Just got back from a quick weekend trip and look who we ran into!

IMG_2050.jpg


Stacy saw us in line and we got to sit together in the laugh room. Jackson and Megan really hit it off and I wish we could have spent more time together. We had to get back home right after that.

Megan and I spotted this in Walt attraction:

IMG_2030.jpg


Look what we found in England! Megan made the cutest face so I had to get them.

IMG_1990.jpg


I tried to make a charm skirt like Shannon's and it ended up a little short but it was good on a hot day:

IMG_1974.jpg


And this is Jacob walking in "slow motion" like they do in the dramatic scene of a movie. We were getting in line for mission space (green side, please!).

IMG_1980.jpg


I was thinking of doing a mini-trip report but I think I just covered all the highlights, lol! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

So fun! I'm glad you ran into Stacy and got to meet the boys! Tell Megan we love her Charlie and Lola. I almost got those for Lily when we were there. I got her a Charlie and Lola tee shirt instead.
 

you say that like it's an easy thing LOL. I know the Vida does that, but you put the elastic through the casing before you sew up the sides, right? I'm not sure how you could make that work with the stripwork bodice; would you sew it like normal, and then pin the elastic in place on one side, sew it to secure, then run through the casing, gather and then secure on the other end? All the stitching would be rubbing against her skin though, right? I'm sorry, I'm just slow on the uptake and confused:confused3
You would do it just like the Vida. You make the casing before you put the elastic through. Take a safety pin and pull it through there to make the gathers. I'm not sure how the stripwork bodice is made, but on the simply sweet you can construct the entire bodice and then add the casing before you put the skirt on. You just sew a straight line of stitching. If your elastic is 1/4 of an inch sew a little more than 1/4 of an inch away from the edge of the bodice. Then secure the elastic with a few stitches and backstitches on one end. Then pull the elastic to make the gathers, and then sew the other end the same way. Then you cut the tail of the elastic off. I wouldn't worry about the stitches rubbing on her skin. It really isn't that many stitches. If you are worried you could just use cotton thread. Hope that makes sense. I know revrob said she has done it on the simply sweet before, so maybe she could explain better if I am not making sense. I do that alot. ;)

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. :confused3 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.

th_2009_09050021.jpg
That is adorable! Must have taken you alot of time to do all of those appliques. It definitely looks worth it. I'm sure her teacher will love it!
Love your DD's moflops!

I make tons and tons of hair thingys for my girls and I also have a nice size home business...

I would try good 'ole Aqua Net hairspray...

I use Stiffen Stuff, as well... can leave residue though...

Give hairspray a try...

HTH!
Just wanted to say that some kids are allergic to aqua net or any hairspray.
I can't even use hairspray on myself because DD breaks out.

afc express sells nylon chiffon. Polyester will fray.

Wow. Her easy fits match that shirt so well! It looks really cute together.
Looks like you guys know how to have fun!
We have pretty much completely skipped the beach so far because of Hannah's allergies and eczema. I'm hoping it will stay hot long enough for us to be able to go once her skin calms down. Your trip sure made me miss the beach!
 
That was me that you met at Chef Mickey's, We met aksunshine at EPCOT, Now I need to post some photos but we just got home last night. You guys and AKsunshine were the only customs we saw as well. I love the test track and the woody is soo cute.

Here is my latest dress, for Animal Kingdom

excuse my DD's face, she's not very well, had to have the day off school but she wanted to try the dress on and pose for a picture.

I have also nearly finished DD's nemo easy fit pants and I need to make a top to match.

I still have to make DD's tinkerbell ( yes she has finally decided which fairy she wants to be) outfit, I've cut out the pattern just waiting for the material to arrive from ebay. I promissed her I would make this outfit so she can wear it when she has her hair, make up and nails done at the bibbidi bobbidi boutique....I couldn't justify the £200 dollars for the full package so
compromised on making her a faries outfit.

I am also waiting for little einstines material, it's comming from the US....I hope it comes soon as I want to make a twirl dress for our breakfast at Hollywood and Vine.

I have cut out the material for my DS's supper sluth tshirt....but still worried about doing it right!!

So much to do and so little time....aaarrgghhh:scared1:

but on the other hand I will be with the mouse very soon:cheer2:
So cute, I love the fabric you found!!! Really cool.

IMG_1240.jpg


Nothing fancy, just a skort I made for dd to wear to school on Wednesday. She picked the fabric and now won't try it on again :)
That turned out really cute!

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. :confused3 Oh well, it's done & she loves it.

Yesterday was dd6's birthday (and our anniversary). Thankfully the rain they kept promising us didn't really happen so the 'beach' party got to go on as planned.
Her dress:

The flip flops they decorated:
2009_09050021.jpg
Both of those turned out REALLY super cute.

Good evening everyone,

I really love everything that has been posted. You are all so inspiring!!

DD8's specifications for the MNSSHP was a "not too pirate-y, not too pricess-ey" dress. So I came up with this: I think I am going to shorten the skirt, it falls a little too long on her knees

I plan to have her wear either a pink tank top or tshirt depending on the weather under the vest.

She is doing the Pirates League the afternoon of the party so I am not sure if we will dress it up with some chains and bracelets or just see how she ends up. It has some imperfections, but I'm happy with the overall result.

Why does summer have to end!!!!:confused3
The outfit and the kids look so adorable. Oh and to answer your question, summer has to end so that the snow can get here..!!!! LOL.....:cloud9:
 
Does anyone know where I can find the pictures of the ribbons made into Disney Characters? I'm interested in the Stitch one.

I also need to make some hair bows for my niece for school any ideas? I already have the ribbon, but haven't made any bows yet. The ribbon is about an inch wide.
 
CONGRATS on getting everything you wanted!

I made my ADRs this morning and got all but one (but it wasn't a have-to-have one, so I'm not too upset.) I don't think any of my ADRs are on the original dates I had planned, but I think this is going to work out better for us in the end.

Mine are:
Sun Dec 6 Akershus Royal Banquet 5:10pm
Mon Dec 7 Crystal Palace 3:55pm
Tue Dec 8 1900 Park Fare 5:45pm
Wed Dec 9 Chef Mickey 5:25pm

The Crystal Palace is a little early, but it was either that or 7:15pm (8:15pm to our Central-time bodies) and we're early eaters so it should work out fine. We'll be at AK for Early EMH that day and plan to do an early lunch with Picnic in the Park - DD is not on the Dining Plan (she's under 2) so with the 3 of us eating off a 2-person picnic we should be ready for an early dinner. And an early dinner may leave room in our tummies for a Dole Whip before leaving MK that evening

I wasn't planning on Akershus - now I've got to think of something for DD to wear!!

I'm not sure what to do for Akershus either. DD loves Jasmine and Ariel but who knows if we'll see them there or not. I'd almost prefer to do a dress that has several princesses appliqued on it, but I can only machine applique by hand so I don't really foresee that happening unless I suddenly become brilliant at appliqueing -- I don't see that happening either!

What adr did you want that you didn't get? I plan to keep trying back for 1900PF for an earlier time. I check the on line system daily and when I call to add the dp I'll inquire. I've heard that sometimes things show up for travel agents or cms that don't show up on the on line system.

I finally finished sewing last night! Check out my ticker!!!!! I now need to make a ton of hairbows!!!!

Hey, a few weeks ago, someone posted a time that more of the rare characters come out around the hat at hollywood studios for meet and greet. Does anyone remember when that was?
OMG you cut things close! I hate making hairbows. I hand sew alot on though because I fear the hot glue comes loose over time.

Allrighty now, this is what I have in my notebook for characters at DHS: From one post: Character Palooza at the Animation Building (located left of Playhouse Disney Live Stage) on non-Fantasmic nights 5-6pm.
From another post: Go to the back of the gift shop at Magic of Disney Animation and walk through the hallways (ask a cm in the gift shop where the characters are). Time this before Magic of Disney Animation lets out. Hope that helps -- report back and let me know after your trip b/c if it works we'll definitely do it.

I finished Cinderella this morning!

Everything is awesome! I adore those knit hoodies and read ahead and saw the pattern and definitely am adding that to my must have list. I adore the fabric you used for the Fancy Nancy! Where did you get that fabric from?

I am really really new to this! Hoping that my Mum is going to help me get started or I can enroll on a course. What I am really looking for is a pattern for a pillowcase type dress. (Although one where I don't start with an actual pillowcase so that I can use fabric I like!) Or some type of similar sun dress. Nothing too complicated. My daughter will be 8/9 when we go next year but she is very petite so I don't want anything to "frilly" although i wish I had found this thread a couple of years ago when we went!

I look forward to hearing from all you experts and hope that somebody can point me in the right direction xx
Just do a search for pillowcase dresses and you find tons of free instructions on line. Here is one (and you can readily adapt it using your own fabric rather that a pillow case):
http://freshlypicked.blogspot.com/2008/03/pillow-case-dress-tutorial.html
Other simple patterns come from YouCanMakeThis.com -- every one I've purchased has good instructions and pictures to follow along while sewing.

ladies, I have a question:

I'm planning to start outfits for a big give tonight, and I am making sisters stripwork dresses.

By carla's measurements, both girls are size 1 in the bodice, but one girl is a 3 for length and one is a 5.

I was thinking of going with the 1 or the 2 in the bodice, but also printing out the size bodice that would correspond to the skirt, so that it would be long enough, and then trace around and cut down the width and arm slope down to the smaller size, if that makes sense. Then I was going to use the small size width of the strips, but the longer length.

What do y'all think? Is this what you would do? Or do you have a better idea? Believe me, I'm totally open to suggestions:goodvibes
I'd err on the larger side for the bodice and go with the two. I like Toadstools idea of the elastic. Better to be too big that too small. It would be easy for the child's mom to take it in, but impossible to make it larger.

Here is my latest dress, for Animal Kingdom

excuse my DD's face, she's not very well, had to have the day off school but she wanted to try the dress on and pose for a picture.

She'll be a hit with that fabric! Not something readily available in the US.

I just got back from Joann's for the buy one get one notions...I wanted to get stabilizers, etc...OMFreakingGoodness, do you know that they made me to each set in a separate transaction?!?!? Otherwise, I'd have gotten like a 12.99 stabilizer and they'd have given me the 1.39 elastic for free.

That was way too big an ordeal. Combined with searching for the non-existant girls short sleeved white tee, and looking for jeans for a picky almost-teen...I need a Xanax and a nap.
I almost went to Joanns yesterday and just decided it wasn't worth it. Seeing your post has let me know I made the right decision. How can they not do all the buy one get one free sales in one transaction???

Looks perfect and I love the pink and black fabric.

Need some advice. I am making 2 dresses and both I am using the simply sweet bodice. It calls for underlining, lining and fashion fabric. Do I really need the underling? I think it might be too warm for 3 layers. Does it lay okay with just 2 layers? Any avice?

Thanks!
I made a different pattern that has a bodice very similar in style to the Simply Sweet and just put an underlining of muslin and it is fine. I also just made a reversible Simply Sweet (just thought I'd try it) and I think it's way too heavy. I'll try to post pics today. I think it will work better in cooler weather with a t under it.

Does anyone know where I can find the pictures of the ribbons made into Disney Characters? I'm interested in the Stitch one.

I also need to make some hair bows for my niece for school any ideas? I already have the ribbon, but haven't made any bows yet. The ribbon is about an inch wide.
I don't have the link, but there was a tutu thread (I think in the family section of Disboards) that had all sorts of Disney hair bows. Not sure if there was a Stitch, but do a search and see what you can find. I can't search for you right now as it's time to get lunches made and the kids ready for day one of BTS.
 
Awwww how cute that you ran ino Stacy and her two little handsome guys. That is such a cute picture. Megan looks so cute too. Glad you posted a pic of Jacob too...I almost thought maybe it was just a mother-daughter trip. LOL

I know, I felt bad about that. We did a lot of meet ups so the boys could ride the thrill rides and we did the little kid stuff so I got way more pictures of Megan this trip. Next year we both need to take cameras!

Jeanne, I was so sad to find the Charlie and Lola shirts were just for little kids! Megan really wanted a book too but we check those out of the library so I resisted, it was hard!

Stacy saw us in line and we got to sit together in the laugh room. Jackson and Megan really hit it off and I wish we could have spent more time together. We had to get back home right after that.

Why does summer have to end!!!!:confused3
Cute outfit!
Love the pictures! What is it about little boys and rootbeer! Kyle LOVES it. He has to earn it though. When he has a good night at football practice he can ear rootbeer, football cards or ice cream if he tackles! LOL Last night he tackled 3 times during drills so he got ice cream. He was afraid to tackle so this was his 1st real time doing it. It could be worse I know some parents offer cash as insentives for tackles so I think we are doing good! :rotfl2:
 
Why does summer have to end!!!!:confused3

Looks like you had a fabulous time!! Those kid's are ADORABLE! And, just so you know, summer doesn't have to end! Come down to Florida ;) Two Christmas' ago it was 80 on Christmas morning, lol!

Next year we both need to take cameras!

How were the crowd's with the holiday?? Just curious. . . crowds don't scare me away (even as a Floridian I have been the most insane times of year - week between Christmas and New Years, July, etc. But it is always nicer when the crowds are low).
 
That is so cute! But where did you get your bedding? My DD12 would LOVE that!



The bedding came from target. It belongs to my oldest. She LOVES it, but we will soon be buying a new one. She now has a full size bed and this set is a twin. I hope Target still has something similar.
 
Hello everyone. I have been lurking on this thread forever and have popped in a couple of times to say hello and ask some questions. I am a beginning sewer- I just started out sewing by making outfits for my DD (4) to wear on our upcoming first ever Disney vacation. I wanted to show you all what you have taught me by osmosis! :cloud9:

I made this from a Tink bandana that I found at Hobby Lobby. I used some cut outs from the left over bandana fabric to make appliques which I put on an old denim skirt.

I found this panel print at Walmart and loved it. I had thought to make a pillowcase dress- as I said, I'm just learning and didn't have a pattern- but I thought that material deserved something fancier, so I came up with this.

I found this panel print at Walmart and loved it. I had thought to make a pillowcase dress- as I said, I'm just learning and didn't have a pattern- but I thought that material deserved something fancier, so I came up with this.

You are some wonderful seamstresses and I love looking at all your work. Thanks again! :lovestruc

These are just darling...and you do NOT look like a beginner!!!
 
The girls are off to school, and Ryker is actually sleeping in...and my house is way too quiet! :sad2:

Ha....I'll send my three over to you!!!! They are not wanting to get started on school by them self (Home School) and I've got so much stuff to do for the trip in 11 days!!!!! that I am having trouble pulling myself away from the sewing machine to get to them! BAAAAAD Mama!

I take that back...the girls are being good. I'll just send my DS7...he would get along great with your boys (mentally a three year old)...

Our house is NEVER quiet!

Ours never is too...that's why I'm kinda freaked out. R yker woke up and now he's sitting eating cereal...QUIETLY. I swear I feel like rushing him to the ER or something.

I was going to crawl back into bed (I only got a few hours sleep and hubby is here to supervise) but um...I'm scared they have something evil planned.

I KNOW that feeling!

My little one is actually taking a nap...medicine induced...I can never get that to happen when I want it to...it always seems to happen when I want him to do something else! (kinda like when he is seeing his psychiatrist he is always a little angel!)

Around here I only get about 4 hours of sleep...hubby is back on nights and I always worry Dami will wake up and go outside when I'm asleep...it has happened before!

DISNEY...TAKE ME AWAY!!!

I am making the Test track shirts and was getting ready to sew my shirt down and looked at the shirt DH picked up. It is a lightweight, stretchy thin shirt that is going to get holes the minute I start!:scared1:

The city is 6 hours RT away, so I just may not have a test track shirt to go with the boys. Urg, off to bad day already.

I went to take DS to school and when DH put my car away, which was very nice, he turned off the lights for the dashboard. I had to get out the manual and spend 15 minutes trying to figure out how to turn them back on. Why do men do that?

Ok, at least I am off to work and then home to finish DS test track shirt. I would order a shirt for me online but the shipping would be more than the cost of the shirt.
