Is there anyone who could make some of these princess dresses for my daughter who will probably need a 2T size?I would especially love the Belle one for her. I would just need it by Halloween. PM me if you can and let me know how much it would cost for something like this. Thanks!!

I hope it's ok to post an "in progress" picture, but I am just so excited I wanted to share! This is my middle daughter's rapunzel dress - it's Simplicity pattern #2065 - the licensed Disney Tangled dress. I'm a big quilter but I don't sew a lot of clothing so I'm thrilled with this so far! I just need to put in the zipper, close up the neckline and sew on the sleeves. There is a lining that goes along with this but I'm not putting it in...I'm just thinking Florida in September...90 degree heat, rain, and three layers of satin and organza...eek no good.
I really need to get a serger, I think this would be so much better...but for now it's all french and enclosed seams. So excited! I will post a picture when we finish and get the headpiece done...last evening was HOURS of hand sewing...three different ribbons sewn to the overskirt and then I hammered in the eyelets by hand. This was challenging for me but I cannot wait to see my daughter twirling in this dress at Cinderella's Castle!
, and he said he has an old Singer in a cabinet that is just gathering dust. He thinks it works or it worked last time he checked. he'll take $25 if I pick it up. I'll be getting it tomorrow at 3:30 or so. I can't wait to see what it looks like and if it works ! I hope it does ! My DS is so excited already, i don't want him to be disappointed. he really wanted me to buy him a Slant-O-Matic from E bay but the price went too high. I hope this one works out.

Question
I found a super cool vintage sewing machine on CL for free its a brother sewing machine. It came with a knee control. Is there anyway to set up a foot control instead?
GORGEOUS!!!! I love the fabrics. You have done an amazing job thus farI hope it's ok to post an "in progress" picture, but I am just so excited I wanted to share!

I hope the machine is great -- I know my ds is hard on mine. He rarely actually sews, but he loves helping me with the pedal and levers and the like.The dress looks great ! Can't wait to see it finished. Were the eyelets hard ? Thinking about trying them soon enough since my costumes require them. Can I ask why you hand sewed the ribbon to the over-skirt ? I can't wait to make a version of this !
I also have some more really good news, I posted on Craigslist to try to get a sewing machine for my DS8 to use since he has grandeur plans for what he wants to make and I don['t want him breaking my mother's or my new one. I got a reply from someone close to me, mileage
Fantastic! I hope you all enjoyed the movie.We were finally able to go see Brave since I got Alexa's dress done! She was happy with it! I love the Grace pattern, lots of panels to embroider on!
