OH no I cased everyone else...I never make anything original....

Well, I knew you had made a Jasmine - my mind just had a chronological fart, that's all!

Now Cathy, those Minnie pants were ALL you. I do keep expecting Jessica and Teresa to show up in a pair.

It won't be long before you see some if I can get my butt in gear!

Shouldn't that be "get your butt in dots"?

Yes, well, I think I am the only one brave enough to wear those silly pants! LOL! But in Disney I don't care what everyone thinks of me! LOL! Check this out...I have blue dot pants now too....

 

[twob4him]

So I bought fabric and matching bows last year and finally got around to making Lily's S'mores Vida. She wore it to school yesterday and it turns out their theme this week is snowmen!

It has a lot of butt buttons (you know, like butt ruffles?) but she insists they don't annoy her when she sits on them.

Jeanne I meant to say that this is one of my favorite all time fabrics...and I LOVE what you did with it~ I bet Lily was a big hit in school!

Ok, you have seen my DD and how she dresses. You think your pants were silly? Your pants were understated compared to some of the things I see on this kid.

Thanks for sharing again!!! I'm actually going to CASAF...Copy and steal and Frankenpattern!!! I like parts of both yours and HeatherSue's, so I'm going to combine them into something special for Piper.

 

[pitterpat]

I made a skirt like that, so I have a number of different fabrics laying around. In this pic you can see some of what I used, although I do have others...

I'm sure I can spare at least a 6x6 of what you need! Let us know what you are looking for.

Jessica

Ok....this is making me think of that Seinfeld episode when Elaine "couldn't spare a square"

I saw a cute pair of pants in the store today that I want to make for a friend's little girl. The pants I have no worries about, but they had ruffles on the bottom of the hem. Does anyone have any tips for the best way to do ruffles on the bottom of pants for a beginning ruffler?

Thanks ahead of time

Dawn

I'm not sure how detailed of an explanation you're looking for Dawn, but when I add ruffles to pants I do a width of 6 inches and a length double the circumference of the pant leg. Fold lengthwise and press then ruffle (stitch a long stitch and then pull the ends to scrunch it up) and attach to pant legs. It makes a nice full ruffle that is 3" long so make sure you account for that length when you make the pants.


I'm ready to make some Easter dresses for my girls. Anyone seen any great fabric for Easter dresses? I went to Hobby Lobby and Walmart tonight, but didn't find anything I loved. Hancocks is close, but Joanns is an hour drive so I don't want to go unles I know they have a good selection.

Hi Ladies! Everything has been just beautiful and I love the pictures of the entire matching family!

I can't wait to go back to Disney. Since we have been freezing with the Canadian air blowing into the Northeast lately, all I can think about is Florida. We just watched some video from our vacations and I miss it more!

I thought I would share one of my favorite pics from our trip last year, 2009, that I never posted before. It was from the morning my children went on the Pirate cruise at the Beach Club where we were staying. They are all wearing their pirate outfits I made them. It was about 98 degrees that day and it reminds me of being very warm .

Ah, Memories. Enjoy:

Hi! Just wondering if anyone makes Princess outfits for the 18 inch dolls?? My dd has many princess costumes for our April trip, but would also love to dress her doll to match!

I saw a Simplicity pattern today at Hobby Lobby when I was perusing the pattern catalog -- all the Disney princesses in 18" size. Super cute!

I would guess you could do the modifications Carla has on her blog to her patterns from ycmt to a doll size just like the girl size.

Here is the long awaited jacket. I was hurrying to make it because I was afraid it would warm up before I finished but now they are saying it might snow this weekend. I have lived in Florida all my life and it had only snowed twice (melted as soon as it touched the ground) so everyone is quite excited. Heather and Teresa will know that I am NOT quite excited because I hate the cold!

Anyway, her jacket is green corduroy with soccer flannel on the inside and a layer of fleece in between so it is perfect for this weather. It has pockets and a faux belt. It is called the Fair Weather Jacket and I got the pattern from etsy. As soon as I finished one of Megan's friend asked if I would make her one, exactly like it, so I guess it's a hit!

Enjoy the Florida frost pictures with our neighbor's dolphin mailbox in the background!

Love the jacket- super cute, and the back button detail is fab- I have to admit though, the picture wouldn't have quite the same effect w/o the dolphin mailbox.

Thank you everyone for the advice. It has been hard because Megan was hospitalized for 5 days the week before Christmas for RSV. I was only able to see Lauren one day (and for only 2 hours) during that time. I was at the hospital the rest of the time because Megan was REALLY sick there for a while (headed to PICU sick) and she was nursing every 2 hours. And we have been spending too much time at the doctors in the new year for Megan also as she has developed reflux now with some lovely projectile vomiting.
I was able to take Lauren to see Princess and the Frog (just her and I) on New Years weekend. We both enjoyed that time together.
I will keep the faith that it will all get better. I will be honest - I do not like the baby stage at all. Never did with Lauren either. I prefer toddlers and preschoolers.

I'm sorry the baby was sick. I promise, it will get better.

UPDATE on my dad.
After a very drama filed day Wednesday we found out yesterday from the oncologist they believe they got all the cancer and he will need chemo and radiation. It has not spreed but it is a very aggressive kind of brain cancer. So they are treating it aggressively. His recovery from brain surgery is wonderful he is talking so much better almost back to normal! He still needs OT which may start today but the improvements are great. So we still have a fight but he will win! He has to! So please continue to pray for him.

Thank for for the update; looks like encouraging news- I'll definitely continue to pray for him.

Hello Everyone!

I have been MIA for a while an just checked in and OMG I love all of the fun things everyone has been making! How fun! I Have not sewn much, Moved, Divorce, yada, yada, yada but I am so happy to get back into the swing of things again! HEre is an outfit I made a while ago. Not sure if I already shared pictures or not but just in case:

Thanks for letting me share! Working on Easter and Valentines Day now as well as a jump start on summer!

Candice

Cute!

Well i promised i would post a few pictures since you all inspired me to spend a small fortune for my daughter to have a few cute custom outfits for our first trip. And since i dont sew anything other than rag quilts is buy, buy buy...........but she had a blast and loved every minute of it so it was well worth it. Sorry they are not the best pictures as i have not gotten our photopass disc yet, but enough so you get the idea.......

Sorry for so many big pictures, but cant get them any other way......wont bore you with anymore, but you get the idea....

So thanks again for the inspiration, i just wish i had gotten it sooner so i could have learnt to sew them myself, but it was money well spent.

Gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you come up with for the next trip!

Just returned home Monday night and have some pictures to share...

Wow, the only thing prettier than Lisa's dresses are Lisa's dresses on an adorable model- beautiful!

If you mean patterns, the simply sweet sundress from YCMT has a doll size, then if you check Carla C's blog she has the modifications to make the princess dress.


Sorry I'm missing stuff, y'all; I lost my quote once already and I'm too exhausted to keep looking tonight- I love everything!

And thanks to all who have offered to send scraps, or just looked and offered moral support- I just know it's going to be great! And more importantly, when we stand in front of Cinderella's castle, it's going to feel like we brought a piece of all the disboutiquers with us

Nicole,
I mailed my envelope of scraps today.

 

[Haganfam5]

I couldn't find any from the trip in my PB but I have these from before we left. I made the tops with a little design I came up with. They are perfect for those hot humid days at Disney- and sooooo simple too:

BTW, I highly recommend the Pirate cruises for those who are going to Disney. My children have been on 2 of them so far and can't wait to go back on another one. They have such a great time.

Oh, I forgot to mention the green coat. That is just beautiful too! You are so talented! I don't think I could tackle a coat and make it look that good! Beautiful!....and I LOVE the dolphin mailbox too! lol

We've been to WDW numerous times but have never even looked into the pirate cruise because we have 2 little girls. Is it something they would like? What can you tell me about it?

I don't know how old your girls are but my son was 6 and my daughter was 7 on their first cruise and all 3 of them were 5, 7, and 8 on the last trip (I think the min. age is 5 and I think they should be mature enough to not be afraid to go out on their own first anyway). I cannot say enough about how much they loved it. Their favorite cruise was the first one they went on- It was the cruise out of the Grand Floridian boat dock. It made me a bit nervous thinking about my children leaving me for two hours but after I was glad that I let them go because they had so much fun. They board a pontoon boat wearing life jackets with 2 Disney cast members dressed lightly as Pirates. They are given pirate bandanas and are taught how to arrrrghhhh like pirates before they go. There is anywhere form 6-9 kids on the boat per trip. They cruise away and that is pretty much the last time you see them until they return. They head out to the 7 seas to hunt for treasure and encounter a few surprises along the way. They stop at various "islands" to find pieces of treasure maps and are fed lunch about 1/2 way through the trip. In the end they find the treasure and are given some of the loot. I know they got a plastic sword, a pirate sack and a treasure chest bank with goodies inside it. Make sure they have sunblock on and I put a sun hat or visor on them too. Don't just think it is for boys or for those who only like pirates. It's not just a pirate thing, it's an adventure that the kids will love to go and take on by themselves. They set off in the morning (I think it was 9am) so it doesn't effect the whole day. You can still get to the parks at a decent time when they are done.

I hope that helped. Please feel free to PM me if you want more info. You reserve it through Disney reservations just like you would a dining reservation. You do have to use a credit card to hold your seat though. I am sure your girls would love it. There were many girls on both trips.

Megan says, that is sooooo adorable and those look like the same buttons as my jacket. So I think she approves!

I'm glad you used the fabric before you forgot about it; that has happened to me. It is really the cutest!



Totally cute outfits! The girls looked like they had so much fun. Are you going to post more?



Cute! I wish we had pajama day. Your family looks beautiful. Love the cookie picture. We make cookies too, but I never take pictures, very smart! Your pillowcase dress looks so sweet. Thanks for sharing your Christmas pictures!

Here is the long awaited jacket. I was hurrying to make it because I was afraid it would warm up before I finished but now they are saying it might snow this weekend. I have lived in Florida all my life and it had only snowed twice (melted as soon as it touched the ground) so everyone is quite excited.

That coat is so cute! You need to tell me where you got it on etsy. I can't find anything when I search fair weather jacket. And that Megan is a smart girl! She and Lily are in fact sporting some matchy buttons! That frost though? BRRRRRR! It's just not right to see that in Florida!

I LOVE that Vida!

I live in Oahu - definitely check out Fabric Mart! There are several locations - my fave is in Aiea/Pearl City. Great Hawaiian Fabric at Great Prices!!!! You can get good deals at the stadium swap meet, too. PM me if you have any other questions....



So cute! I have to get some of that smores material - I just love it! Your daughter is such a cutie, too!!! Did you make her bows or buy them - I just love the whole look!

Sorry I am so behind, ladies - I am trying to get caught up to the thread! I am sure I have missed several other super cute projects...

If you pay for my airfare I'll be right over with some smores fabric! I bought the bows. Last year! At least looking at them hanging on the bow holder kept reminding me to make the dress!
