Stunning!!! I LOVE the colors and the headpiece is very pretty. My Rapunzel's (Lisa) hair is that long.

Thank you! The only thing I wish I had done differently is I wish I had used more of a reddish purple overskirt like Rapunzel's in the movie. Other than that I think it's SO cute. The headpiece is a little cheesey but she likes it...and it looks SO STINKIN' cute on! LOL*

...and THAT IS SOME LONG HAIR!!!!

That is beautiful. Well done! Love the trim detail. I'm sure your princess will love it.

Thank you! She loves it - and I'm so happy to watch her swish and twirl in it!

WElcome back! What on earth does btg stand for? Big tour groups????

BIG = Brazilian Just too many of them in July.

So HAPPY You are back!!! Looking forward to seeing some of your creations!

[/B]


Brazilian Tour Groups, I think...some are very obnoxious and RUDE! Especially to W/C's....

I can't even say anyone of them were rude, but just too many of them all at once. It gets overwhelming when seeing a 100 people all wearing the same color shirt coming at you maybe if they had some Appliqued Mickey Heads it wouldn't be so bad

This is Simplicity pattern number 2065 for anyone who didn't catch the last time I posted this in progress. I made it in size 7 for my six year old who is usually pretty true to size for her age...and it is a teensy bit snug...let's hope and pray she doesn't grow much in the next two months! The only changes I made to the pattern is that I omitted the underskirt and ruffle. Other than that I pretty much followed the pattern to a T.

Stunning! I hope it still fits comfortably -- I've heard commercial patterns are often off on size. After all that hard work I'd be mad!

Gotcha! Perhaps you should have embroidered them all some shirts

Hello all! It's been so loooong since I've been on here!! I've missed it and sewing! Everything looks amazing! I'm going to lurk for a while and hopefully get some inspiration to sew again! (it's been over a year).

I have been eyeing everyones creations and sewing up a storm for our trip next month. I am really happy with how this one turned out, so I decided to share. We will be eating at Hollywood and Vine for the character meal. My oldest has requested a simple shirt with izzy, my son has jake. I made my youngest a dress. This is the first time I have tried to share a picture, hope it works!

Yeah I hope so too! Worst case scenario I'll have to let it out a little at the side seams...but I really hope I don't have to!

Great job on the dress. We got to meet Jake outside at the Meet & Greet area at DHS and my son loved it. I just wish more of the Neverland Pirates came out.

Super cute!!!! I love the fabric too..esp that turquoise floral


QUESTION I did some applique yesterday and when I was looking at it later in some spots the stitching caused the fabric in the applique part to almost tear away...like the stabilizer...as if it made it perforated enough to just tear away. Any idea what I could have done wrong? Are you supposed to use a special needle?

Hello everyone...
My attempt at keeping up was thwarted by a very quick trip to Memphis to visit MIL while DH is home. He only had a few days off during the holiday so we took the trip with the kids. she is not in the best of health so it was important to make sure we got up there while we had the chance. Whew..memphis is HOT!,, it was still 100 degrees outsi at 10 pm on the 4th. Funny to think Florida was cooler in the midst of summer! I am back now and hoping to really stay caught up this time!

Teresa, I am sorry to hear about Rosemary. I will keep your family in my prayers as you go through the next few weeks.

Everything posted over the last week is beautiful. Love all the vintage machines and the excitement everyone shares about them.

Hi ladies!!

I am looking for a simple sundress to make and was wondering if you had some recommendations? I have the portrait peasant, but was thinking the simply sweet might work. Any other suggestions for easy to follow, quick to sew patterns? I have a ton of sewing to do for our trip and just opening up a few of my Simplicity patterns gave me a headache.

 

[Ashmanarion]

I've watched these threads off an on for a while and always admired how awesome the clothes are and how hard everyone works. My wife and I (yes, I'm a guy), are interested in learning how to sew/knit/crochet. I'd like to be able to sew simple things and maybe some dresses for my 15mo DD. My wife has shown interest in crocheting.

For a guy who can't sew a button, can someone point me to the steps where I could sew a pillowcase dress for my little girl? I know that's a ton to ask but they seem somewhat simple and I need about the simplest goal to work towards. Any and all help is extremely appreciated.

I think I'm breaking a DIS Dads rule for being here, time to scoot off.

That's a great tutorial Itsy Bitsy! I'm afraid I need to start at the basics though. I don't have any sewing materials and need to learn how to sew. I know there are plenty of sites and videos out there but I was hoping there would be some information people would know here to help.

Try this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Lets-Sew-Beginners-Sewing-Guide/dp/0931071542

I purchased this for my niece when she was learning to sew, and now my dd10 is using it.

The site http://www.sewing.org/html/guidelines.html might be helpful also. Good Luck, you will love learning to sew! Please feel free to ask any questions! I was always told the only silly question is the one never asked!

Adorable and I'm another one that has to say I really like your fabric choices

If you're appliqueing on knit use a ballpoint needle -- if you are appliqueing on cotton use a sharp point. Once in a while a crappy fabric will cause problems to -- for me softer cottons work the best. Using something stiffer seems to cause a little pull away.

Memphis is indeed hot! I live there for four years when I was in grad school. I'm glad your dh was home for a bit

The SS is great and the halter style is fantastic for summer.

There are a bunch of bookmarks on page 1. I also recommend looking for ideas and sewing tips on pinterest, or getting some books from the library to get you started. Just practice on some scrap fabric and you'll get comfortable in no time.

Hi! I am also new to sewing and pillowcase type dresses are where I started...I used one of my 4yos dresses as a guide and sort of drafted a pattern myself but here are a couple of free tutorials that may help:

I think its awesome that a dad wants to sew...I plan to teach my son the basics when he is old enough...I regret not learning sooner myself!
