my dd Cancide got the girls all dressed and took pix in the yard last night..looks like they had a blast...Gracie/green,Kensligh/lavender & Chloe /floral
this is the Ingalls attitude...but I don't think Ma & Pa would put up with those 'tudes!

the girls are the sisters in the same birth order...Kensleigh/Mary { she is older by one whole minute!},Gracie/Laura & Chloe/Carrie .they have several Halloween activities they will attend this year so they willget lots of wear form these outfits and then they will be able to wear them to church...
and i have no idea why they flipped the bonnets back...crazy girls...

The girls look gorgeous in their outfits!

Here is DD in her Belle SS, with her Batman body guard...gotta have security you know

Beautiful work and how awesome that she has a bodyguard a well -- now the question is will he still be her bodyguard when she's a teen and actually interested in his friends?

It looks great! I want to make some trick or treat bags for the kids...but I'm running out of time. DH brought home a stomach virus we are both hurting. Praying the kids don't get it. Trying to get some strength to finish my dress order! She needs it by Nov 2nd! Ahhhh!

Here is DD in her Mermaid costume. She got to wear it to her dance class last night. She is happy with it and I'm happy it's finished!

I hope you and your dh feel better.

I love the mermaid! What I really love is that it looks simple to make as I still have to run to the store today to get more things to complete my detailed outfits.

Here are a few pictures of what I have been working on!

This one is for me!!! It is going on the back of a hoodie!!

Awesome work! I can't believe how much your dd has changed since I last saw a photo of her -- I now see a bob and braces! She looks so grown up! And naturally your ds is changing as well -- cute, cute, cute!

Here's what I stayed up half the night finishing for Alexa to wear to her Halloween party.

Sorry for the crummy cell phone pics.

Now I have to go start and FINISH her Rapunzel dress for the parade Monday.

I'm drooling over the skirt! I would love to see better photos if you get a chance -- it looks like a lot of applique and trims aon the skirt. I still have fabric for a skirt for dd and two Halloween applique designs that I have NOT done. The kid's costumes are just taking me forever and they are not here duting the day to try them on so I can hem sleeves and pants!

Finally finished Granddaughter Gracie's dress..ended up making it longer than I wanted to make it. If I made the layer the same size I would have been cutting most of the Princessess in half.

If all goes as planned the Triplets and I will be taking Beth and Grace their dresses this afternoon. Hoping we continue to get just rain and not any of the snow they were talking about.

Sheila

Very pretty! I made my dd a long skirt a couple of years ago and it was a really cute look, so good job on not beheading the princesses

Hi people,
I've been on dis for a bit but I just ventured over here. I've been sewing since I was in elementary school. When other kids went to sports and camps and whatever I took sewing lessons and sewing camp. My most ambitious project: a two-piece bathing suit (I was 11, I think?). I've sewed simple things like pillows and I can follow a pattern and make clothes but I am in awe of some of you!

So now I need some help. I got in a battle with contact paper last night (I think I lost) and I told my mother for christmas I wanted a laminator or a sewing machine. She told me I could borrow the singer until I learned to sew. As in the one stitch singer. So now I need a project that I can do to prove to her that I "know how to sew."

Any tips? I'm thinking maybe a purse? I'm also just moving into a new house and have 4 year old twins.

Totes are easy with straight lines and the internet has tons of free tutorials. There are also oodles of easy skirt patterns on the internet that are free if the twins contain a girl, and if boy or boys, Easy Fit pants would be my go to which can be purchased on YouCanMakeThis.com

Good luck and post pics of what you create!

I don't post very much, but I wanted to show everyone my daughter's Halloween costume that I made her. I used the Simplicity Sleeping Beauty pattern. I am really proud of myself!

Beautiful! I so wish I had a pattern for my kid's costumes. I did buy one for a base, but it's a men's size so I couldn't exactly use it, but figured it was worth the 99¢ if it helped me get ideas.

Wow! It turned out great! I bet she is thrilled!

I have that pattern...one day I will get around to making it. Along with everything else around here. .

That turned out great! I am sure she'll be the prettiest princess on Halloween!

Chiara- I hope your daughter had a great birthday!

 

[NiniMorris]

I've just about decided it is not meant for me to sew this Grace Pattern!

Last night I had trouble getting motivated. I sort of knew which way I wanted to make it and which fabrics to use, then I changed my mind completely! Then I had no energy to go down and start.

This morning, I have a hundred things I need to do, but I have to wait on someone else to do their part first and then I can get started. So I decided to print out the pattern first (always a good idea to have your pattern before you start cutting...) And now my printer has decided it no longer recognizes my computer...or is it the other way around!?!?

In the middle of deleting and reinstalling the printer, I discover it is almost out of ink, so I have to go to the store to get some more...which puts me back at waiting on someone else to get the check ready so I can go shopping!

I have to start painting the dining room and entry way, grocery shop, sew, pick up DGD at 2:45, have the house put back together for company tomorrow, and attend my birthday party tonight....at least we have finished home school for the day...


I wonder if I can get to the studio tomorrow to get the dress started?

Question

I know that this was asked earlier this week but I think I missed the responses. Does anybody have digitizing software? What do you recommend? I'd really love to buy something to play around with a little bit. I've been saving for it for a while and I am ready to explore my options. I had hoped to see some at the Sewing Expo but there wasn't anything there!

so pretty...you can tell she loves it! you should post more of your stuff....no more lurking

Beautiful work and how awesome that she has a bodyguard a well -- now the question is will he still be her bodyguard when she's a teen and actually interested in his friends?

I hope so....but really my DS is so much more tender hearted I think he will need the protection from the girls....right now he's more sensitive than she is. When they fight she usually gets the upper hand . How she can pull hair that short I have no idea.

2011 Holiday series...

Green:

Love them all, but these are my favorites! Eeyore is adorable and I love the Mickey ears peeking out through all the mugs on the holiday dresses, such a cute idea

I love Little House! I'm so impressed that your girls do too. They look wonderful! And how great that they can wear them again!

Here is DD in her Belle SS, with her Batman body guard...gotta have security you know

Beautiful! I'm feeling like I need to make my DD a Belle dress. We bought her one in Disney last Sept and it hasn't held up well at all. It still fits but is falling apart.

It looks great! I want to make some trick or treat bags for the kids...but I'm running out of time. DH brought home a stomach virus we are both hurting. Praying the kids don't get it. Trying to get some strength to finish my dress order! She needs it by Nov 2nd! Ahhhh!


HSN has it too. Sometimes they have coupon codes for new customers for 15% or so. Do a search. Plus @ HSN you can do flex play and do 5 payments over time. Not too bad of a deal.

FedEx is delivering my machine today. I got mine from Ebay. Crossing my fingers it will work! I also bought my coverhem from Ebay and it was fine.



So adorable! They look great!
Here is DD in her Mermaid costume. She got to wear it to her dance class last night. She is happy with it and I'm happy it's finished!

I hope you all feel better soon and that your kids stay healthy! What a terrible time to get sick with all of that delicious candy that needs to be eaten!

Love the Ariel costume! My DD has been wanting one but I'm intimidated. My mom made one for my younger sister when she was 2. It's held up pretty well considering it's been 17 years. I'm hoping to deconstruct it and make it a little more FL friendly. Is the bottom fin part of your costume just gathered fabric? It looks great and that would be a lot easier than constructing a fin.

I don't post very much, but I wanted to show everyone my daughter's Halloween costume that I made her. I used the Simplicity Sleeping Beauty pattern. I am really proud of myself!

That is beautiful! Is that a current pattern? I must have missed it. I have been looking for an Aurora pattern. How was it to sew? It looks a little more difficult than most with the collar and the waist.

 

[Shleedogg]

Here are some of my projects as of late. I have been spending all my time sewing to make DD costumes for our upcoming trips.

Drizella

Yep, DD wanted to be Drizella, not Cinderella. I was, and still am very surprised.

Tiana:

I'm still not sold on the flower as it looks too big to me, but I can't find a smaller one.

Prince Charming for DH:

It's actually done and DH has worn it twice, just haven't remembered to take a picture yet. This is the only one I have for now. Ugh, this costume was the bane of my existence for a few days.

Rapunzel

Wishing that I had paid more attention to the movie where her skirt and top of the dress are actually two different colors. Oh well, DD is happy and that's all that matters.

I've also made myself an Anastasia but no pictures. I went to wear it for the 2nd time last night to the story time at the library Halloween party and the teeth pulled right out of the zipper! Ugh, one more thing to add to my list.

Here's Alice in her Cinderella costume. It was huge (as you can see) two weeks ago, but now it fits perfectly. Glad it was big to begin with!

Just started Jasmine last night. Yep, I'm a little crazy. I'm also going to be crazy when people see DD changing costumes in line to see a different character . Oh well, DD will be thrilled and is thrilled to have all these costumes! Now....should I add fixing my sister's old Ariel costume to my list before we leave? Yep, it's official, I have a DISease!

 

[Amyhoff]

It's not current, I snagged it off of Ebay about two years ago. It wasn't too hard, but lots of pieces to fit together. The collar was only a challenge because the directions are wonky and I had to make up my own crown pattern because after all the trouble to sew the dress, Simplicity wants you to glue the crown together with fusing. I don't understand pattern makers sometimes.

I really should post some more of my creations. I have just made a Snow White dress up for my daughter for her birthday, I'll post in a few days after we give it to her at her birthday party.

Thanks everyone!

So after alot of set backs I was finally able to finish the dress I was making for my daughter for halloween yesterday. (Just in time for the halloween party at school today.) I had a lot of problems with this. First of all I wasn't happy with the skirt and took it apart so I could redo it. Than my sewing machine broke while I was sewing the bodice. The arm that holds the needle completly broke off and I think it is unsavable, luckily some one let me barrow there machine. (Thank you Gerry!) And than as I was shirring the back peice I ran out of elastic thread.

Well finally I got it done and am happy with how it came out. I think I will make the skirt a little bit fuller if I make it again, but otherwise happy.

Now picture her with a pair of fairy wings.

The halloween stuff is SO CUTE!!!!!!!

I have a quick question; DD's hair is just below her shoulders and she's growing her bangs out. Except for one skirt and a pair of ruffle jeans I'm finishing up this weekend, I'm actually done sewing for our trip- 14 outfits for her and a total of I think 30 shirts for my mom and I, plus a tictactoe, park bag, eye spy bag and crayon roll up.

But now I have to turn my attention to her hair and I'm really at a loss. She likes "stuff" but I don't want to make her look a bunch younger either, so I'm thinking we probably can't do the big bows (sad) and I'm not sure what would look best- raggie bows, headbands, flower clips, pony o's...

Any ideas?

I think I replied earlier. I liked the Brother PE Design when I had a trial version of it. Unfortunately it is outside of my budget to get that right now, because I need to cure my hoop envy first!

Oh and I saw that you have a new name for your shop!

How about matching scruchies? Matching badanas? I actually wore hair elastics with Mickey heads when I am at the parks (and I am, well, quite a bit older than your DD). They came from the kids' section but who cares.

I should start packing for Anaheim since I leave on Sunday. Somehow I am just not motivated because I will be busy with work when I am down there. The conference is fuller than I anticipated so I don't know how much time I can spend at Disneyland. Argh. Maybe I will see if I can finish a couple of blouses this evening. They were put on hold when I worked on some Big Give stuff. Besides, that means I will have new outfits to wear on the trip (even though they are not Disney themed in any way, at least not yet. I will probably do something about that when I get home with the embroidery thread and stabilizer)

I would think headbands, pony o's....and maybe smaller clippies? I would ask ur DD, I'm sure she might have some ideas of what she likes....11 is a tough age to know what all would like....some r more grown up than others.

[karebear23]

I got my embroidery machine hoop squared away today. I had to go to 2 different repair stores to get a nut for the darn thing!
That was a lot of driving back & forth across town!

So now I'm in business. Now I just need to decide what to make. I did test out 2 designs from the machine today.
They turned out nice...and I tried my kids names. I need to read more about adjusting the layout.

Now I need to stock up on some thread & bobbins!

A bunch of bobbins came with the machine...but I'm so glad I paid attention. They are not the right kind! So glad I didn't pop one in when the bobbin ran out!

We carved pumpkins tonight. We did Rapunzel & Jack Skellington
Gotta go check my seeds in the oven!

Tiana:

Prince Charming for DH:

Rapunzel

WOW! You've been busy! Everything look great!

Now picture her with a pair of fairy wings.

Sorry about your setbacks! I know the feeling...it's always the projects that I think will be super simple. They end up being a pain in the behind!

But now I have to turn my attention to her hair and I'm really at a loss. She likes "stuff" but I don't want to make her look a bunch younger either, so I'm thinking we probably can't do the big bows (sad) and I'm not sure what would look best- raggie bows, headbands, flower clips, pony o's...

Any ideas?

Hairbands...maybe some braided ones. Ribbon sculptures? Some pretty flower clips. Pony o's the kind with the fabric covered buttons?

 

[billwendy]

Nicole - what would she like to wear? Has she said? I'd be up for whatever she likes - adults walk around wearing princess hats and mouse ears!!! lol....She will look adorably beautiful no matter what ( :

 

[miprender]

So we are suppose to get snow tomorrow

It is only October and actually none of our leaves have fallen so I don't know if we will be getting alot of power outages.

But you know what this means....Marianne must be getting ready to visit RI. I think everytime she comes something happens.

Nini... hope you can get some sewing done tomorrow. I have been trying everyday to get downstairs and sew some PJs and Halloween shirts all week but something keeps coming up.

I don't post very much, but I wanted to show everyone my daughter's Halloween costume that I made her. I used the Simplicity Sleeping Beauty pattern. I am really proud of myself!

That is so pretty and your DD looks just like my friends DD when she was younger.

Love all the dresses and Yes I would say you have the DISease but just think how cool all those photo's will be because we all know it is all about the pictures

Well finally I got it done and am happy with how it came out. I think I will make the skirt a little bit fuller if I make it again, but otherwise happy.

Now picture her with a pair of fairy wings.

Well DD8 will only wear headbands or pull her hair back in scrunchies. She is really not into bows.
