Thank you so much!! I really was thrilled with how all her stuff turned out, and its so rewarding when someone asks her where she got it, that now she responds "my mommy made it" with the proudest look 
It is the Simplicity pattern but after I cut my pieces from it I glanced at directions but mostly put it together my way with a few modifications. I did an invisible zipper in the back so my back was constructed a little differently. Also I left off the long sleeve portion that would have been done in chiffon, I didnt think DD would like that part all that much so I skipped it, in place of gathering the bottom of the sleeve into the long sleeve part, I just stitched 1/4" elastic to the bottom of the sleeve to make it pull in and puff up. I also didnt do eyelets for the corset I just added little ribbon loops instead. I can take up close pics for you if you need help with any of it
Great job!! I really like that green Toy Story fabric, where did you find that on?
SO jealous!!
I want that one like you can't imagine, lol DH doesnt quite see the reasoning behind such a big purchase, he thought my 330 was too much, hehe!
These are gorgeous!!!
Yep, good eye
I think that would be perfect!

That is the PRETTIEST Rapunzel dress I have ever seen!!!! I love all the detailsThe ribbons on the sleeves are perfect and I adore the flowers on the skirt!! FABULOUS, FABULOUS job!

DD happened to be standing right behind me when I saw your post....you have done a wonderful job on everything but now DD has requested a Rupunzel dress "just like that one mommy".
IDK where to begin. Did you use a pattern for the bodice..I love the sleeves how did you do that..is there a tutorial for this yet.....to goggle I go....
Thanks for the inspiration! Hope you don't mind if a CASE DD dress after yours.......really its that good....

I missed grabbing the adorable Belle skirt and the beautiful Rapunzel dresses that were posted. Excellent job on those!
Here is what I made last week for my little nephews:

This was the Simplicity pattern that I used. The shirts turned out ok but I wasn't really crazy about the pattern. Now that the printer is fixed, I can go back to CarlaC's bowling shirt pattern. I also think that the pattern ran a little small. I cut it out using the size 8 but when I compared it to a boy's t-shirt it looks more like a size 6/7. I am not sure that a size 6/7 will work for one of my nephews.
SO jealous!!

I have the 830. That is so wonderful that they are letting you borrow the 635 while you wait for yours! I hope you have tons of fun at the class. It is so worth going especially if they let you go every time they offer the class. I found I understood more this time than the first time. I can't wait for them to offer a beginners sewing class there are things I want to learn that I have had to search youtube for.
Have fun! I have been!
These are gorgeous!!!

I *think* that's the Simplicity pattern. I've got that one.
I think that would be perfect!
I posted this over on the Big Give Forum but thought I would post it here too...
Quick backstory....
I live in the Cayman Islands so no running to Joann's and online ordering is limited with international shipping. Not to mention very expensive with Customs duty at 27.5%.
ANY who, I am making Crayon Roll up's for Keira and Cooper and I am so excited to be getting involved with the Big Gives.
I am planning a sewing shopping trip at the end of Febuaryso for the next Give I will be more than ready...(chanting as I walk the isles)think boys and girls think boys and girls....
I have made Keira's roll up - I had some left over Tink Fabric from last years Disney trip (DD customs) so that was easy and it's already done.
Now for Cooper here is my deliema,
I need some ideas or opinions. I don't have any boy fabrics I bought some solid red and solid black fabric, I have some yellow Ric Rac (I could sandwhich between the front and back)...I was going to use yellow thread to break up the color a little bit in the top stitching and the pocket lines.
Thinking I could applique a Mickey Head on the outside....trying to turn some non disney stuff into kind of Disney...
Any thoughts on what I could do? I am open to anything.
I really want them to be special, these babies so deserve it![]()
