Those turned out so nice!! I agree with everyone else- if you can do the doll outfits, you can do the big ones! I'm very impressed!

Thanks ladies! I went to the thrift store and found a jean skirt a ladies gold sparkle T-shirt, and a few other things I might mess around with. But so far Im liking the skirt and top. I am going to cut the bottom off the top and add a ruff of the gold sparkle to the bottom of the jean skirt and make the top to fit Peach and maybe do something with the sleeve, maybe make a peasant style top...maybe. Make a rose with the scraps of the top and either add it to the top or a headband to match. Georgia has boots that would be perfect. now I need to find some leggings or something just incase it gets cold again. and go find a bunch of cheap jewelry at the thrift store and string it all together.

I can't wait to do her hair, straighten it (YIKES! but it looks so pretty straight) with those loose Taylor curls!

I can't wait to see pictures!! She's going to look so cute!

Love the Belle dress posted earlier! I can't wait to see it on your princess!

Forgot to post pics yesterday! I haven't finished Caleb's shirt yet (actually am working on 2 for him - a Dash one and a Stitch one.) But I did get pics of Ella's Minnie Cutie vida.

Not sure why Minnie's face looks a little wrinkled?

Couple of close-ups of the Cutie fabric - kinda blurry. . . I sort of wish I'd picked a different dress pattern to show off the fabric a bit more, but what can you do?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that dress, and Ella is such a QTpa2T!! I'm such a sucker for the Mickey Cuties, that dress is just ADORABLE!!

I have a question for all the wonderful sewers here, if you have an embroidery machine where do you get your disney designs?

My mother and I are looking into getting an embroidery machine and I wanted to know if there was a way to make disney images I found on google into embroidery designs (PES files) or where/how you guys get all the great disney designs on your outfits?

I really want to make some outfits with disney embroidered designs for my niece this year for our trip, but I can't seem to find the ones that I am looking for (like the minnie or mickey heads, or the mickey cupcake design, etc.) that i've seen on these threads so often.

Posted earlier but I didn't see any replies. Is anybody heading to the AQS show in Lancaster (PA) this week? Looks like I will be heading over with MIL on Friday. I'm really looking forward to it, as I missed every local quilt show last year, and I bet AQS puts on one heck of a show.

By the way, I noted on the AQS website that if you purchase a membership ($25), you get a 10% discount card for JoAnn.

 

[desparatelydisney]

Thank you for all the on the outfits and our proposed speaking engangement. Please don't think me rude for not thanking everyone by name....we only have until Friday to tell them whether we will come to DC and I have spent most of the day waist deep in the Senate Bill we are supposed to be lobbying for trying to decide if it is something we want to support or not. Plus....my kids had standardized testing today...so....it's been kinda crazy to say the least.

Your comments really do mean a lot...and keep me motivated. If I do something crappy, I think...I can't let the DISers see that, it's gotta be fixed.

Etsy...and our favorite digitizer is HeatherSue. Just put her name in the Sellers search, and you'll find everything you'd like. Plus some you might not even be looking for...I always go looking for just one design, but never leave with only one.

Peasant Dress Question

DS is on the Astro's this baseball season. He has an old T-shirt that I was thinking of turning into a dress for DD.

I was thinking of making it like a peasant dress. Would it work just to put the elastic at the neck & the arms or should I cut into the shoulder seam & gather the top of it?

Sure, here you go!

Thank you!


Hey, do any of your kids have their own digital camera? My DD is turning 6 soon and she LOVES to take pics. We were thinking of getting her a camera that isn't too expensive and is dependable since she will probably drop it. Those kid tough ones don't get too many good reviews. Any suggestions?

 

[jas0202]

Thanks everyone! I must say that I am humbled by your kind words...you guys are like goddesses to me with all that you create! I am working on Belle next, which has a step by step tutorial...then I am going to branch out and try to improvise a Tiana! I also have the precious dress pattern, and I'll maybe attempt a Snow White. My girls have been dressing and undressing dollies all afternoon!

Nice work!!! Aisling saw the pics and asked why her dolls don't have ALL the princess dresses

Hello all! Love all the beautiful things posted recently! The Minnie Vida is soooo cute!

Quick fly-by question: Does anyone know of anywhere I can get a JoJo and/or Goliath embroidery design (PES)??? Pretty please??? One of my DDs (Hayleigh) is a HUGE JoJo fan (yeah - and the show was cancelled before she was even born... LOL). I'd love to make her a JoJo/Goliath outfit for our Hollywood & Vine breakfast day.

Thanks!

I sent you a pm!

OMHeck, I may finally be able to meet another disboutiquer. Wendy is leaving just a few days before we arrive and we can't get the price on airfare. I hope we can meet, even for just a moment to say a quick Hi. Please do PM. Congrats on the trip! Where are you staying? Are you doing Fantasmic? What are your ADR's? Just happy for you and hope to see you there.

I know! Wendy is coming back before I get there and Teresa is arriving right after I leave. It's a bummer! Our ADR's are for CRT, HDDR, Boma, Biergarten and we are going to do Beaches 'n Cream. I'm hoping to do the Wishes Dessert party if they bring it back in time.

Hi ladies (and Tom)! So I finally got some new fabric (like I need it) to make Peach's Easter dress and some for her friends birthday dress.

BUT now I have a hard one...On the 26th Peach is dress like a Celeb day at school. Georgia wants to look like Taylor Swift. I know what to do with her hair. Im gonna straighten it (I KNOW!) and then give it those loose wide ringlet curls. But its the clothing. What would you do for Taylor Swift? She has boots to wear. I am wondering if she can bring her guitar to school. I think I will hit up a few thrift stores in the area to alter some clothing. But what should I look for? any suggestions? Please. Thanks girls.

I have no idea about Taylor Swift but I just wanted to say Hi! We haven't seen you in a while!

Like others have said, our very own HeatherSue has fantastic designs. Look up Frou Frou by Heathersue on etsy.

Samuel has the Disney Mickey Mouse camera. It is kid tough and very easy to use. He loves it and actually took it to Disney with us. It has been dropped bunches of times, and it still works great. We got ours at Wally World, but I am sure you can get them many other places. Hope this helps.

Hmmm. Not sure. Do you have a serger? I was thinking if you cut off the neck ribbing of the t-shirt and did a rolled hem, then maybe two rows of shirring with elastic thread? That might work out. I'd probably cut off some sleeve length also, then do a rolled hem on those as well with a couple of rows of shirring. . . Not sure if that made any sense at all It sounds good in my head, but you know how that sometimes goes!

Lori, I love it!!! It's so cute!!! I love seeing Ella too!

A while back, I showed y'all a pic of this fabric I planned to use to combine the precious dress with the scallopini skirt:

I think it looks pretty. I would add a sash or ties to it, to take care of the size issue. I think it will look cute!

I have a Bernina Artista and have been very happy with it. There's an Amish guy around here who sells and services them. Very reasonable prices and he has a lot of trade-ins. If anybody is coming to the AQS show in Lancaster this week and want directions to find him, PM me.

You were talking about an Amish guy fixing your sewing machine, so I had to see if you were from around here!

I am planning on doing my first simply sweet for my niece. She is quite petite and lives in Denver so I can't really measure her. I was thinking that I should put the elastic under the arms. What is the best method for doing this?
TIA

After I had the bodice sewn, and right before I attached it to the skirt, I made a line of sewing about 1/2" below the armhole. I just eyeballed how long I thought it should be, I think it was about 3" long. Then, I threaded the elastic through, sewed up one side of the elastic, pulled it tight and sewed the other end.

On a side note, I was gone a total of 30 minutes. DH came home to watch DGS22mos & DGD21mos while I went to buy them. I walked in the door and he says " Boy, you have your hands full with those two".I keep DGD on M,T,W and DGS on T also. Now he has an idea what I do everyday.

Have YOU voted today?

Yes, I did, so did Brian and Corey!

I ordered my outfits from etsy.com and I am SUPER excited to seeing the product

I will post pictures.

What did you get?

Hi there!! I've been a lurker of this thread oh, since part 2 or 3 and I finally have a little girl to some sewing for. I am currently working on her first pair of easy fits and as I was about to start cutting out, I realized that these are probably sized for kids who wear disposable diapers. Has anyone made them for a child who wears cloth diapers? Does it run true to size even in cloth? If not, how much did you go up?

Thanks ladies and I promise to post more often. You are absolutely inspiring!!

I'm glad you are posting!!!! I can't wait to see what you make!

Attire of the west for girls, a tiered skirt ruffled and even with eyelet on the bottom, cowgirl boots, minus the horse pucky, silver tips if possible, big jewelry, and lots of silver. Bandanas are for the boys but I see them in the girls hair used as hair bands.

Hope this helps, I should take pictures of the people just walking around our town for you. It is all about the cowboy.

I would love to see some pictures of people walking around your town! It sounds interesting!

Benita, I've never been prouder of you!! Teresa, our little girl is growing up!

I know, *sniff*

WOW!!! These are truly wonderful!!! I like the way the collar turned out on your SB better than the one I did. I don't think I made the points long enough.

I LOVE it!! You did such a great job on the applique! I love seeing pretty little Ella, too!

Are you using Carla's tutorial for Belle? I love that one! It turns out so cute! When I did that one, I did the gathering with my machine and not by hand like she says. Because, I'm lazy like that!

I know! Wendy is coming back before I get there and Teresa is arriving right after I leave. It's a bummer! Our ADR's are for CRT, HDDR, Boma, Biergarten and we are going to do Beaches 'n Cream. I'm hoping to do the Wishes Dessert party if they bring it back in time. .

You should just stay longer!!
