Hey all. My little one has curly hair, but it doesn't always curl on it's own. If I get it a little wet and hand curl it it does...otherwise it's a little kinky/frizzy. Do any of you use anything special? Like a special spritz product? I'd like something easy to carry around so I can fix her hair when needed.
Thanks!!

I've got a curly haired girl, but hers is tight ringlets that do curl on their own. We learned long ago never to brush it dry, it makes more frizz. John Frieda makes a whole line of products especially for curly girls, it's called Friz Ease, and it worked better for us than the expensive salon products...you can get it at Walmart. You'll find that the adult products work better than the kid stuff, you need better conditioners than the kid stuff has. When she was little and I wanted her curly we used a few drops of the serum, put it on your hands, rub together and then pat down her hair, do this when she's right out of the shower, then make the curls, and you'll probably keep good curls all day. I never bothered, but you could keep the serum with you for touch ups.

Thanks! That's good to know about the adult vs. children's products. Kenzie's can curl on it's own, but not always. She sometimes gets this crazy curl right below her cow-lick on the back of her head. I sure hope she grows into her crazy hair!! I did buy a children's conditioner that seems to help a bit. But, since we take our baths at night we usually brush in the morning and yes it does get frizzy. We'll try wetting it in the morning and then adding the serum! Thanks!!

This is my DGD(6) that I have been making evreything for.


froggy33, she has curly hair too. What I use on her to help make combing easier si I mix a little of Johnson and Johnson's Easy comb conditioner with some water in a spray bottle.

Thank you all for the compliments. I have a few more things to post but I haven't taken pictures of them yet and they're not Disney or patterns fro YCMT.com.

Has anyone used satin with flannel backing? I found a princess/castle print and thought it would make comfy easy fit pants. I've never used anything like it so I didn't buy it because I didn't know how easy it would be to work with.

I haven't used this, but I know that with satin sleepwear, you need to wear them very loose, so the seams don't rip. The satin back may be more sturdy.

Question for those of you that make pj's from the easy fit pants. What pattern do you use for the top? I'm going to make the girls some Christmas pj's (when we get back from Disney) and wondered what you used for the top. TIA.

Thanks Andrea for dropping the shirt off today. I can see the light at the end of the sewing tunnel. I didn't get to do all the skirts I wanted but the girls love everything I've done so far. I promise pictures when we get back. I've started packing what I finished so no pre-pictures. Only 2 more sleeps as my daughter says!

I saw a really cute pattern in a quilt shop, they looked like easy fit pants and a bowling shirt. Except on the girls version, they had ruffles on pockets and the hem. Other wise, I usually just buy tshirts.

This is my first time posting in this thread. I have been lurking for about a moth or so though.You all do beautiful work. I sew but nothng like the rest of you. The appliques are just gorgeous. Maybe someday I will attempt to be so creative.
You all have been an inspiration and have got me hooked on YCMT.com

I wanted to share some things that I have finished.
This was suppose to be my DGD's Halloween costume but it rained here so I wouldn't let her wear it. We will be going to Park Fare for dinner during our trip so I plan on letting her wear it then.

Simple...just make your squares of white on white fabric, then take plain old freezer paper (the kind you get in the grocery store), and iron the 'plasticy' (actually is waxed paper on the back) side to the wrong side of the fabric. This gives you the stability needed to be able to sign the fabric. You can either use fabric markers or fabric paint pens. The fabric markers give you a smoother 'line'. Then, just make sure you have a small clipbnoard for the characters to bear down on. I used plastic bags to store them in. One for signed and one for unsigned.

One thing I would do differently is to mark each signature with a date and place. I have 5 Mickey Mouse, and don't remember which one was from which place! One the girls' I am wanting to use fabric from the dress they were wearing at the time they got the autograph!

You can actually iron on the freezer paper and then cut out the squares, but I cut out all the squares and then ironed on freezer paper squares to that. I didn't want to mess up my good scissors with the paper cutting...but I doubt it would have mattered that much!

Let me know if you have any further questions. It really was a fun project!

Nini

I would love to try this too. Thanks for the directions!

Carla and Jennifer Paganelli have another new pattern on ycmt called the Carly Bubble! It's such a fun little pattern to put together. It's reversible and requires NO hand sewing at all! It went together quick and easy! I made this one as a present for one of my pregnant friends. I used some of the designs from my new Sleeping Beauty set and made it pink on one side and blue on the other- in honor of Briar Rose!

Now I just wish I had my own baby to make bubbles for. *sigh*

Heather I just love this little outfit!!! Your new Sleeping Beauty set it SOOOOO pretty! I loooove the Sleeping Beauty Castle, you don't see that digitized often!

WOW! I don't know how to sew but clicked on this link out of curiosity...You are all AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW! WOW! WOW!

Hi ANA!!!! Nice to see you about these parts!

I haven't been here in a while some of you might remember me. My two year old Ora Grace (AKA. Gracie Lou Lou ) is having surgery Monday to get her tonsils removed. She has Strep throat constantly from October to March. Well, I am making her two hospital gowns since she has to spend the night in the hospital because of her age. I am making a Fancy Nancy one and one from the story book fabric. Wendy sent me some earlier this year because I couldn't find any over here. I am going to post pictures when I can. I also made a portrait pessant in Minnie dot for Disney on ice tomorrow night. I can't believe how easy that pattern was. I was afraid I would have trouble with it but it was super easy. I love Carla's patterns. I got the hospital gown pattern free online. Has anyone else made one? I was just wondering if you have any tips before I start. I am planning on using snaps on the shoulders instead of velcro like the pattern calls for . I was thinking that the gown along with plenty of popsicles will cheer her up. She can also play with it when she plays with her doctor kit. You can never have to many dress up options for little girls , you know.

I'm so sorry Gracie will nneed surgery!! I love the idea of custom hospital gowns!

Well I just did a wrap-top dress for a cousin that is a belated birthday present. She is a huge Scooby-Doo fan.

..

I love that dress! It's so cute!

I use Carla's Raglan top or the Portrait Peasant top.

As Lydia will let you know NEVER NEVER NEVER leave home for vacation without conditioner!!! I seriously do NOT know what I was thinking when we went to Disney in October! It was a complete nightmare to comb her hair! I am sure the people in the next room thought I was torturing her! So, I have promised her to never leave home without conditioner again, and if I do, I will beg my dear friend to bring me some! (Hi LivnDisney! ) When we got back to the Marriot in Detroit, I used up 6 of the little bottles of condtioner in her hair trying to get it soft and combable again! Other than that, we like a little spray bottle with water and just a little bit of conditioner in it. It freshens her curls and keeps the frizzies away fairly well.

OOOH That poor girl!!!! I would have brought conditioner right over.

I really wish I would have asked you! When you asked me if you could pick anything up for me, I almost asked for some! I didn't want to bother you though!

 

[CastleCreations]

Hurry up and come back already so I can meet you...I was sick last time...

 

[livndisney]

Did you see Davey is going to be in Epcot in May next year?

 

[CastleCreations]

Well I just did a wrap-top dress for a cousin that is a belated birthday present. She is a huge Scooby-Doo fan.

Now on to something else......

You are a terrible influence...of course I had to run and buy the pattern now...LOL. I can't wait to try it!

 

[kidneygirl]

Whew! It's been pretty slow on here all day, so I thought I would help it along. I have a number of outfits finished, I just needed to take the time to put them in photobucket!
We're headed to DW Dec 5-12, 9 adults and 1 little girl. Of course, as you all know she must coordinate with our daily plans!! She's only 16 months so she's really easy to sew for and my fabric goes a long way (except with the feliz!!) Here's what I have done so far. All appliques are "by hand".
Feliz for the GF beach photo shoot. I got this idea from the dress like this from the Sew Beautiful Magazine someone posted a while back:

This is an outfit for Magic Kingdom: (patchwork skirt and CarlaC's raglan)

A simply sweet for Epcot and Biergarten. I was going for a "German" look. The applique says "It's a small world" I CASED ideas from another dress I saw on here quite a while ago.

Dress for MVMCP. I modified CarlaC's a-line top and totally guessed on how to make a skirt similar to the one LisZoe has shown on here.

A simply sweet with patchwork skirt. I used Jham's idea for the patches, making each rows 1.5X the size of the previous. Makes it really easy to gather by hand!!

And, finally, not Disney, but CarlaC!! I made her portrait peasant dress and added a sash for a wedding we went to. I also made the petti for underneath it (I'll use it at Disney too). It needs to be shortened a bit, so that goes on the list.

Thanks for looking!! I'll post more as i get them done! I have 18 days left (4 of which I'll be out of the country!!!)!!!

Jessica

ETA: I did resize all of them. Hopefully they fix!

I love all of the outfits!! I'll definitely keep an eye out for you while we're there. We'll be a group of me, DH, DD (3 1/2), DS (11 months), and my parents. I made a couple of outfits that I haven't posted here yet, as well as stroller strap covers, so I'll try to get them posted soon.

And, I took everyone's advice and added DS's birthday celebration to our Crystal Palace ADR. I'm thinking of making a bib with a #1 on top of a Mickey head applique for DS to wear for his celebration.

Thank you everyone for the compliments! It is a VERY EASY dress to make - at least I thought so. It went to gether very quickly - If I didn't stop yesterday I would have had it done in a couple hours. The ruffler I got for the Babylock helps tremendously! I keep praying this one doesn't break - I broke 3 of the generic ones on my old Singer. This was the first time I used the ruffler with my new "baby" and the first dress I made on the new "baby" too. I am cutting out pattern pieces out of posterboard for the feliz - I don't exactly understand all the directions on the feliz so I have the sew-a-long bookmarked! Wish me luck!

 

[teresajoy]

Did you see Davey is going to be in Epcot in May next year?

No, I didn't see that! When will he be there?? I was toying around with the idea of going in April or February, but I may have to scrap that idea!!

Hurry up and come back already so I can meet you...I was sick last time...

I'm so sorry to hear you were sick!

 

[teresajoy]

Lydia update:

Lydia woke up this morning with a temp of 98.4, which is higher than the normal for her, but below fever level.

But, this afternoon, she was acting kind of funny and very tired. I took her temperature awhile ago, but she decided to head out to the kitchen with the thermometer in her mouth. It was a non mercury glass thermometer. Was... Well, it fell and broke! When I picked it up, it was showing a fever again. I'm not sure if the breaking could have caused that or not. I sent Brian out to buy a new thermometer, and he just walked in the door, so I'm going to check it again.

She will NOT be happy if we miss Pizza Night AGAIN!

This is the link I got my hospital gown pattern from. I don't know what is up with it but right now I realize why it is free. I wasted the last of my storybook character fabric and my fancy nancy fabric. The arm holes are too small. I made the child's small because the Med. Lrg. was too big. I don't know what the heck I did wrong. I should have measured the paper pattern on Grace. I could fiddled with it before I WASTED my favorite fabric. Boo hooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! Can someone look at the pattern and tell me what I could do. Grace isn't having surgery until Monday so I can try again. I just don't want to waste any more time or fabric. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaa, boooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooo.

I once made Lydia top with similar sleeves that were too tight. What I did is took the bottom seam out of the sleeve and then slit open a little bit going down the side of the shirt, to make the armhole larger. The sleeves will be fluttery type sleeves and you put a narrow hem on each side where you took the seam out and down the side where you took out part of the seam.

If that doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll to explain it better!

Another thought would be to put an extra piece into the top at the shoulders, where you put the snaps to make it bigger.
