Hello Chantell!!! I was just wondering about you the other day! Carla has told me I could use the Easy fits for leggins, by tapering them in, but I haven't tried it yet. Steph has made leggins for Megan, but I don't recall what pattern she used. It seems like it was in with some other outfits though.

I used the laguna pattern, which is a pattern for a skirt with leggings. I never did try the skirt! I definitely think you can do something similar with the easy fit pattern. Wash your knits first!

Sorry I posted and then didn't respond sooner. I live where some of the big snow hit from this weekend. Our internet/phone was out. Or so I thought. Turns out the kids were playing hide-n-go-seek and knocked the plug out of the wall. And here I was blaming the 2 feet of snow outside!

Anyway, thanks for the responses to my leotard question. Unfortunately, the responses I received were for leggings! See what happens when you ladies speed read? Seriously, though, thanks for trying to help me. Now, does anyone have a pattern for leotards that they like? As I mentioned before, I usually use the You Can Make This patterns.

Thanks!
Chantell

Such cuties! My dd Sierra would love that cupcake patchwork twirl. May have to make her 1 with all the cupcake fabrics we've been collecting.

I am going to guess that you got legging answers because "leotards" to me are tights and could be made from a legging pattern. As far as a dance leotard, I don't remember anyone on here making a leotard. I just did a quick search on Simplicity and did not find a pattern.

I did find this on Butterick

I purchased this pattern Jalie 2792. Someone posted here one time that they used this pattern and loved it. I haven't made it yet but I do like the fact the it can be fitted to all body sizes and shapes from a girls 2 to a womens 14. My DGD5 is a skinny minnie and long bodied and doesn't wear undergarments with her leo's so we have to be careful of the leg openings. I think it will be so much easier to fit her with this pattern. You can go to Jalie.com to find it. Good luck!

Is it just me? (I'm sure it is!) I cannot get into the Big Give.I keep getting an error message telling me the email address I am supplying isn't recognized. Sheesh!

It is probably just my computer...we aren't getting along right now. It heard I was getting a new toy and has refused to cooperate this weekend!


Oh well!

[The Moonk's Mom]

THANK YOU ALL so much for the comments about the pillow Katie made....it really made her day to read all that you guys had to say! She was smiling from ear to ear!

(Thanks for the comments on my stuff too...I smiled big also!)

I spent the weekend getting my sewing room straight...I am glad that is done! It looks so nice and neat now...I hate to go and mess it up! But I intend on getting all of my Disney sewing done by the end of May this year.......we shall see!


Now....I am going to ask for some very vague prayers....I don't want to go into detail right now, but lets just say I am waiting on a doctor's appoinment to confirm some stuff...and I am a little scared. My appoinment is not until March 8...that is what they think....I will keep bugging my DR's office until it gets moved up! I am trying to keep positive that nothing is really wrong....I don't even want to bring it up to DH until I know for sure...so all of you just pray for sanity for me in the mean time!

To me a leotard is what Chantell is asking for.

Chantell have you looked at bathing suit patterns? Maybe that will work?

I just went and I did not have any problem getting in but I never signed out so maybe that is why I didn't have a problem.

It was me who recommended the jalie pattern...here are a few pics of dd's leotards. I love this pattern and have used it from size 2t-5t so far.

Here is most of them piled up. The back ones are all gymnastics leotards. I cut the pattern at the waist, added a seam allowance and inserted the flounce skirt for the hot pink one so she could use it for dance class. I just traced the bodice pieces into one front and back piece instead of the two colored bodice.

Jalie has lots of dance, gymnastics and skating outfits. I have heard from many people though that their ballet leotard pattern is very high cut though...so I used the gymnastics one for everything. I have even used this pattern as a swim suit with success. PM me if you have any more questions....I have made this about 15-20 times now with lots of variations.

Hi all. Been busy lurking & sewing. Everything I have seen has been so adorable. I am going to try to comment more often.
I did manage to get Valentines outfits done for my girls & Sierra's bday outfit (she just turned 7). Here are a few peeks at them:


Sierra's bday outfit had to be Pinkalicious:

Will try & get some pics up in a few of them actually trying them on.

The Valentine's outfits are great at I love the Pinkalicious outfit. My DS loves this book and the outfit, too!

Praying; for you to have peace, and earlier Dr's appt; wisdom re: what to share with your DH, and of course, for a healthy result and complete healing if needed.


Sorry I haven't been here; things have been difficult with my dad. His amputation was Fri. morning, but they couldn't schedule it ahead of time so I wasn't able to be there. Fri. night his duodenum perforated and he had to have another emergency surgery. He's back in ICU, restrained again because the meds are making him try to pull everything out again, and we're praying for healing, pain relief, and for no infection to set in to the abdomen.

I am finally getting around to posting some of the things I made for our November trip. These were the first customs and appliques that I ever made, I think these might have been the first clothing items I have ever made for my kids! Thanks for all your inspiration and advice (especially HeatherSue's applique tutorial and CarlaC's patterns).

I also made my daughter some matching scrunchies and korker bows for her hair that you can see in some of the pictures.

Ariel skirt and shirt. My daughter wore this to MK for a visit with Ariel

A princess themed twirl skirt and with a shirt that had an iron on T-shirt transfer (I bought these transfers from the Disney store, on clearance, about 2 years ago for our last trip). My daughter wore this to our princess breakfast in Epcot:

My kids wore these to Chef Mickey:

My kids Christmas shirts (I made them put these on a few times during our trip in hopes of getting a picture for our Christmas card, of course when ever they had them on there was a lack of cooperation from either the camera or my kids. Go figure. We did get a good picture of them in front of the castle but not in these shirts):

They wore these to Epoct. My daughter did lots of twirling in this skirt:

Sorry the pictures are so big.

Both outfits and girls are nothing but adorable. I love the colors in the patchwork twirl skirt!

Prayers are being lifted up for you in this time of need. I hope everything comes back in a positive way for you.

Praying for your father and your family. I have a friend who had to have his leg amputated, and he is doing unbelievably well. I hope the same holds true to your father in the near future.

I have been able to find time to sew about once a week, so I'm getting some things done, slowly but surely. Had to take a break around Christmas, so my sewing room could be a guest room. My flannel easy fits for adults were a hit, with some family members wondering how I got them to fit so well. (secret: Carla C's height charts) Here's what I've done lately.

Her response: "But I wanted a Mickey dress!" (Yes, dear, it's on my todo list)

DS loved the safari bowling shirt and appliqued safari Donald!

Corduroy A-line--very cute and a departure from the usual girly colors

Appliqued chef's hat and matching apron to go with her birthday present--a play kitchen--many hours of blissful play. She also used this set for nursery rhyme day at preK, "patty cake patty cake."

Birthday simply sweet with one for Sally (her itty-bitty baby) too. I thought my applique turned out well. I used Heather Sue's tutorial and Heat-n-bond lite and sulky stabilizer, amazed at how well it went. I do my appliques "by hand." DH's grandmother has an embroidery machine, but it's an estranged relationship--so it's not like I can just drop by and ask to use it.

I have a list of customs I'm making for our upcoming trip, so more to come...

I never heard of leggings being called leotards. Thanks for the clarification.

You can go to Jalie.com to find it. Good luck!

I'll check out that pattern. Thanks. "Regular" patterns scare me. I've never used one, only the You Can Make This patterns.

To me a leotard is what Chantell is asking for.

Chantell have you looked at bathing suit patterns? Maybe that will work?





I just went and I did not have any problem getting in but I never signed out so maybe that is why I didn't have a problem.

Good idea on the bathing suit pattern. Thanks!

I love the leos. Exactly what I'm looking for! THANK YOU! Looks like I'm buying that pattern. Uh oh. A regular pattern.

Wow..so many gorgeous customs posted since the beginning of the thread! I think I am just going to admit that I am no good at keeping up with this thread...welcome to all the newbies as well, and prayers said to all who needs them.

I don't have anything to show, and probably won't for the next few months. We are putting our home up for sale..it's not on the market yet, but hopefully will be in the next 2 weeks or so! My sewing room is all packed up, and the house is filled with boxes..movers will be here on Saturday to move some of our belongings to storage. So it has been really busy and stressful around here! On the bright side, I will have my very own sewing/craft room once we moved...and the room has a long narrow closet on one wall which I plan on putting shelves it and it will be perfect for my fabric stash! We are building a new home a few miles away from where we currently are...and they are estimating a closing date of end of March..but we are thinking probably in April.

And..just a little over a month until our next vacation to WDW! No new customs for the kids this trip..they will be wearing the same old customs from our trip last August!

I will try and check in here a little more often...but I find myself spending more time on facebook these days!

 

[NiniMorris]

My GD2 just saw all the fabric I had bought for my two big give dresses. She picked out her favorite and asked me when I was cutting her dress out!

Good thing I'm heading back to Joann's after therapy today! (I mean its not like I never make her anything. We have 16 dresses for Disney comming up and an Easter dress, a Valentine's dress, a birthday dress....what more does swhe want!!!???!!!)

She is so cute though, at church yesterday someone commented on her pretty dress. Her comment? "It's not a pretty dress Mama only bought it!"...evidently, only Grandma can make pretty dresses!
