Oh my....I have been a sewing machine...(get it...hahah!!). Anyway, just finished an AK dress for a customer/friend. Her only request (since they are going at Christmas time) was to incorporate Animal Kingdom with Christmas fabric somehow. OH, and she suggested using the logo. Well, this is what I came up with. I am happy with it....I searched for weeks for the Christmas fabrics that would coordinate with animal prints....hopefully, I made it work.
and the back:
I am working on another Vida today and hopefully can post pictures of it in a day or so.
LOVE IT
1st off I finished a dress for Megan last weekend. I also finished a romper for Alice, but she spit up on it before I got a picture.
So I am working on planning outfits for our trip in Feb/Mar to WDW and for our 1st Disney Cruise.
I need some help, so I'm going to share what I have planned and ask for some advise on what I don't have planned yet.
I'll be doing sister sets either matching or coordinating for my DD#1 Megan who will be almost 5 and DD#2 Alice who will be 10months.
WDW Outfit #1 1st Night Chef Mickey's (for my birthday)
I think I'm going to do a Mickey Patchwork twirl. Here is some of the material I will try to incorporate. I will need to buy some blender fabric. I was thinking reds and blacks.
WDW Outfit #2 Animal Kingdom
I don't have material bought yet, but I am thinking of a kakhi flouncy skirt, and a bowling shirt in red minnie dot and kakhi with a safari minnie applique.
WDW Outfit #3 Epcot
I found this cool world recycle fabric that I am thinking of doing a stripwork twirl skirt attached to a jumper bodice with a mickey or minnie head applique.
WDW Outfit #4 DHS
This will be a Toy Story outfit day. I have 2 different toystory fabrics to work with. I'm not sure which one I'm going to use yet or what I'll do, but it will definately be a toystory day
WDW Outfit #5 Magic Kingdom
At this point I have no idea what I am going to do for Magic Kingdom day. I might take blocks from all my disney fabric and make a Disney twirl. I'm just not sure how well it will blend together. I might do something completely different.
Now for the cruise. Its my 1st cruise and its on the Disney Dream, so I'm not 100% certain what to expect. I'm doing a 3 night cruise and I'm guessing there is a pirate night on the Dream like on the Wonder and Magic.
Cruise outfit #1 - Sail Away party
I'm not 100% certain what I am going to do pattern wise yet, but this is the material
I have outfits planned for each of the resturants, but I'm not sure how Pirate night will play into this.
Cruise Outfit #2 - Animator's Palate - on the new dream it changes from a studio to an underwater Nemo adventure, so I am planning a Nemo dress for this. I haven't bought material yet.
Cruise Outfit #3 - Royal Palace - this is princess night for our girls. Alice will be Alice in Wonderland of course and Megan I think is going for a Cinderella or Aurora dress
Cruise Outfit #4 - Enchanted Garden
Cruise Outfit #5 - Pirate Something. I have no idea what to do for Pirate night.
SO I think I am over planning outfits as I have 5 outfits planned for a 3 night cruise. Am I crazy? I'd skip one of the resturants, but I don't knwo which resturant we will be in on Pirate night.
I love all of your choices, can't wait to see everything
So I finally got off the computer long enough to sew something today I made a peek a boo pleat skirt (from YMCT) with my children of the world fabric. It was not hard but I learned a few new things...like how to replace the needle in my machine It is apparently very thick where the pleats meet up and I went through TWO needles...but I love how it came out in the end. I modified it a bit where I added the ribbon detail- the pattern showed how to do eyelets there but I did it by sewing it together, using heat-n-bond for the ribbon strips and hand stiching the bows on separately. I found the tank top on clearance at Old Navy and I think it goes perfectly!
My reluctant model:
It does go perfectly! Very cute.
I bought a Kindle this past week and wanted to make a cover for it. I found a free tutorial for a cover/stand. I wasn't creative enough to make up my own pattern, but I think it came out great!
I love the fabric

My latest creation for a customer (I hadn't added the buttons yet in this picture):
I tried something a little different for the butt ruffles...
I love that!
Got a second Feliz done. This one has a bit more to it. Some butt ruffles and embroidery and ribbons.
Gorgeous
I've been in lurker mode lately, but things are moving slow today so I'll add. Here are some crayon bags I made for a Big Give:
I had a work trip last week & took my sewing machine & got all of this done plus an Aurora dress & bag for my mom that I don't have pics of yet, & I got my patterns organized! It's amazing what I can do without my little "helpers" The tink dresses I started over a yr ago & got frustrated with it not looking like I envisioned, so I just never finished. I was determined to get those UFOs done!
(This shirt is reversible)
Love those crayon bags too! The tink dresses are beautiful.
