This is the Amanda Dress Pattern from Lily Bird Studio. (I wanted to give the appropriate credit)

http://youcanmakethis.com/products/dress-sewing-patterns/amandas-dress-12-months-to-10-years.htm

It came together so nicely. This is the first fully lined including the skirt dress I've ever made and it really looks great. The inside is just as nice as the outside. As I finished these dresses up tonight I am amazed at how far I've come in my own abilities and confidence since I started seriously sewing 3 years ago. Then I was terrified of both sleeves and buttons and there is no way I would have topstitched anything. LOL.

4 dresses down only 16 outfits to go in 72 days. I need to prioritize because I don't think I'm going to have the time or energy to do dresses/outfits for 2 girls for every day of our 10 day vacation. The only reason I have 4 is because I bought 2 beautiful gold dresses today for the girls to wear to our CRT dinner. I couldn't come up with something to make for our CRT dinner and loved those.

Next up Giraffe Dresses for Animal Kingdom.

Wow! Those are all amazing! I love Pascal - that is very cute/creative. Your Cinderella dress is absolutely one of the most stunning things I've ever seen.

I lve your Rapunzel set from last year, but this Cindy is one of the most beautiful handmade creations I have ever seen! When are you going to the party?

thank you we are going sept 30th and oct 5th (though oct 5th i havent decided if i am in fact wearing this or something else, but i doubt i will have meridas aqua dress done, so, i probably am wearing this the 5th as well)

Wow! Those are all amazing! I love Pascal - that is very cute/creative. Your Cinderella dress is absolutely one of the most stunning things I've ever seen.

thank you!!

 

[DisNorth]

Wow, a girl goes away and comes back to a whole ‘nother thread! Everything has been so creative, it’s WTMTQ!! I have some sewing I need to do but haven’t been that productive this weekend. I did start organizing my fabric, but no sewing. I had read in an earlier thread about organizing fabric and have been working on my stash, now that someone’s brought up scraps I got to work on them next! Love all the ideas I get from you ladies. I especially like all the costume ideas for Halloween coming up. Now I just need to get some inspiration for getting my sewing done!

Question: I’ll be in the states and want to pick up some fabric that I might not be able to get in Canada. Anybody know of good places to fabric shop near WDW or in Manhattan??

Has anyone from Canada ordered fabric from Joanns online? I'm wondering what the shipping prices are like.
Thanks
Erin

When I checked into it they didn't ship fabric to Canada.

Wow! What amazing costumes! Thanks for posting them here!

I have been having terrible problems the past few days with the PE770, which is about 6 weeks old give or take. All of a sudden it locks up with an error code to check and rethread the upper thread. I can't figure out why. I have in fact threaded, rethreaded over and over, used different threads (all my thread is from thread art sets or 2-3 spools of coats and clark from Joann.) These are project files I have done before in some cases, today I did one that I have done 6 time previously. The issue seems to be exclusively on the satin-stitch steps, and will sometimes happen after several linear inches successfully run, sometimes it will happen 2-3 times in a 1/2 inch. It is incredibly frustrating since it means I am reseting the project many times and there tend to be little flubs in the satin stitch where it started and stopped. The thread does not break, though in the past 3 days I have broken 2 needles, also seemingly random. The brother website is decidedly unhelpful, only suggesting that I check the thread and rethread, pretty much the same info the little 2in screen gave me.

Any ideas? There is evidently a brother dealer/service place not too far from here so I can take it in if I need to, but I am hoping there is a quick fix.

Did you change the size of the needle when you replaced it? That might be it. Did you buy pre-wound bobbins because maybe your machine doesn't like them or the doesn't like the way you wound your own bobbins. Also try changing the tension. If none of those work, maybe you need to send the machine back and get it exchanged. There have been one or two other people on here who had trouble with their machines and needed to exchange them.

Ok, it's time for me to come here and issue an apology for not being around the last couple of months!

I had planned to be around this summer, but life happens and things just got crazy out of hand. June was very busy with a few special events and planning for the Alaska trip. In early July we went to Alaska (I posted here the day I was sitting at the airport waiting for my flight home). But then I promptly got sick after we got home and it took me a while to recover. I only had enough energy to make a couple of things for Big Gives so I didn't even attempt to keep up with this thread cause I know my head would be spinning if I tried.

By the time August came around, my sewing list was quite long as I needed to make a few gifts and I wanted to make a couple of things for our end of August trip. My energy levels were still low so my free time went to sewing instead of coming here and admiring other people's beautiful projects.

Now that September is here, I *hope* I would be able to come back and contribute to the thread regularly.

Sorry that you were sick this summer but I'm happy that the rest of your summer sounds like it was nice. You had a couple of great trips! I'm glad you're back on here and we can't wait to see pictures of what you've been making.

That is so cute! The pattern is adorable and it turned out so well!

I am sure you can get a lot more done than you realize. Maybe you just need to simplify some of your plans. Do some t-shirts and easy fit shorts or a couple of simple skirts instead of something more elaborate. The kids are usually happy to just have something special to wear.

The Joann's in Niagara Falls has a big sign on the front door saying they do ship to Canada. We get soo many coming over the border on the weekends that they finally started to ship!!!

Other than having to sew the buttons on the dress - Dress 1 of 2 is finished (This is the size 7 - I am finishing up the size 2 right now). This is most likely for MVMCP but depending on what else I sew it might end up being for our Epcot Candlelight Procession/Christmas Santa Day.

I'm happy with how it came together. My DD tried it on this morning before I finished the lining and it looks great on her.

Love both the dresses you posted. Love the Mickey fabric

WOW... you definitely should stop by more. Those dresses and outfits are just amazing. Glad Judy sent you over.

It's the thread.... all my Brother machines HATE this brand. When I first started sewing it would keep shredding and I thought something was wrong with my machine. My mom mentioned it at her local sewing center and they knew before she mentioned it what thread I was using. My PE770 isn't a big fan of Sulky either so I just use Florani or Pacesetter (this is the Brother's brand thread)

As Chiara mentioned, we had a nice but brief visit while we were at Epcot. We were on our way to the Voices of Liberty show and her family were going to their dinner reservation. As we were walking around the World Showcase Lagoon, I saw a girl in front of us with a skirt with flags from various countries. That caught my attention and I looked at the rest of the family. It was then I realized it could be Chiara and her family. What are the odds of running into a specific family while you are there? By the way, Chiara's outfits look fab in real life.

I wore customs for most the trip and I received lots of comments from both cast members and guests. DH and I also wore our custom ears for the entire trip (we had them on from the time we got to the boarding lounge at the airport to the time we got home). Of course I brought my Minnie rosetta bag too. A number of people asked me where I purchased the various items and were shocked when I told them that I made them. Being a good Disboutiquer, I was on the look out for customs. I saw a few pillowcase dresses and a couple of Heather Sue's embroidery on t-shirts. I only saw a couple of elaborate customs - both of them at Studios on the same day (I actually wondered if it was the same girl with different outfits for am and pm). One of them was a Toy Story themed dress and the other one was a Beauty and the Beast themed.

I will post pictures of my projects from the summer once I get them organized.

No appologies we know how life can get so busy. I am just glad you posted again. And how great to meet Chiara but we need pictures

 

[pyrxtc]

Do you think it could have been New Home? I just got one of those a couple of weeks ago it's gorgeous!

I went back and it says New Companion on the side and foot pedal.

i made this thanks!!!

It was too gorgeous not to share. I hope you didn't mind.

I want to share my 2 projects I completed this weekend.

1st I made an outfit for P to wear at Sea World. I am still having issues hand appliqueing with my sewing machine so I just busted out the embrodery floss and a needle to outline the shark.

I also came across this tutorial for making an art smock. I thought this would be great for covering all the nice outfits I have been making during meal times. I followed the tutorial as stated except I added the Mickey material to the top of the towel. I really like how it turned out.

I did have trouble setting the snaps so I went with gromits and just am going to use ribbon to tie the smock shut.

I just love the shark set! I can't believe you literally did it by hand -- it must have taken forever!

The skirt and short is adorable but too bad about the applique. I just did a design from her site and not that crazy the way it came out. Her things can be so hit or miss sometimes.

She e-mailed back that it is fixed now and her tester didn't mention it to her. I was kind of expecting her to offer me a free design or something for my trouble, but no such luck. It is only the second thing I have done by her but I think Amy used some of her designs for shirts she made and they were OK. My first design by her stitched out OK, but I think I need to nag HeatherSue about doing some cat designs!

Other than having to sew the buttons on the dress - Dress 1 of 2 is finished (This is the size 7 - I am finishing up the size 2 right now). This is most likely for MVMCP but depending on what else I sew it might end up being for our Epcot Candlelight Procession/Christmas Santa Day.

Just adorable. I hope your girls will model the dresses for us

It is too bad that the applique didn't stitch out right. I am always a little bit wary of her designs. Some have been great and others not so great. It does look really cute though and the fabric is adorable!

I hope that Alexa cooperates tomorrow and wears her BTS dress. If you could turn it into a skirt for next year, you might be able to get her to wear it without as much deal making. LOL! I hope you got your son's shirt fixed for tomorrow.

Fortunately the design did not fray in the wash and it looks pretty decent -- guess I did a decent job of cutting close to the satin stitch. Alexa was in great disagreement about wearing her BTS dress last night, but this morning she said she would if she must. But I changed my mind -- I don't want to be the mean mom who forces her kids to wear crap they don't want to. I let her wear the kitty set and she was delighted.

Ben's shirt was so easy to fix -- the 4 came undone nicely and didn't rip the t at all. My 5 isn't the same font, but it still looks fine and he was more than happy to wear his shirt this morning. He always listens to his mother

I would try a different brand of thread to start with -- do not try sulky though. Floriani works great in these machines. Just buy one spool and give it a whirl. Also, are you winding your own bobbins? If they are prewound that might be a problem. And are you using the correct needles? Make sure you are not substituting sewing machine needles. If all that fails send the machine back. Did you order it from Amazon? They will exchange it.

I buy from Marathon and have had no issues. I have also used Floriani without problems (I think it's top of the line) and agree that Sulky is problematic.

 

[VBAndrea]

TWO QUESTIONS:

1. I know some of you use a backing to put over your embroidered designs so they don't itch. I use Floriani stabilzer which softens nicely, but am making some gifts for Judy's family and Lisa has really sensitive skin so what do I buy?
I think Floriani makes Dream Weave and isn't there something called Tender Touch??? Would Joann's have it? Which is the best one to use? Is there anything better?


2. I found an on-line guide for placement of designs b/c I am doing an XXL for Christian and it said to have the top of the design 4-6" below the neckline on t's. I did 5". I want ot add some very tiny wording (1.5cm heigh) and wanted it below the design, but the design just looks like it is too low on the shirt. Does anyone have advice on placement for the larger sizes? I can put the wording above, though I'd prefer it below but feel like it will sit too low.

I use Tender Touch. You can get it at Joanns with the 40% off coupons. It works great and is very soft against the skin. One of my little nephews has very tender skin and I always use that on his stuff.

I can't help with the t-shirt placement. I usually just eyeball it and put it where I think the design will look right. Can you add the wording above the design instead of below it if it sits too low?

I think you made a smart decision about letting Alexa wear the cat outfit. She might as well be happy with what she wears on the first day of school. If she was thrilled to wear something you made her, just enjoy that. One day she will be like my girls and won't let you make anything for her at all!!!

 

[kgleine]

It was too gorgeous not to share. I hope you didn't mind.



Absolutely stunning. Where did you get the blue fabric ? How long did it take you to do this ?

oh no problem at all!!! Thanks for sharing it!!!
it took since march of working on it whenever I got a minute around my ft job...
the fabric was from joanns (except for the coutil in the corset that you can't see along with the boning and grommets) the blue satin is casa satin, and the organza I watched for like 2 years. It was orig. 20.00/yd then eventually went redline for 10.00 then 1/2 off redline sale then addl 30% off entire purchase... Bought 16 yrds. It was worth the 2 year wait for 3.00/yrd. The netting is in the bridal section, the large hole netting is from there... I think this whole dress is like 27 yrs of fabric total? Then the bloomers are another 4? (flat pannel lace cut into strips and ruffled, and sewn to leggings)

Here is the 2T version for the peanut.

And the smaller version for the peanut. by peachygreen2010, on Flickr

4 dresses down only 16 outfits to go in 72 days. I need to prioritize because I don't think I'm going to have the time or energy to do dresses/outfits for 2 girls for every day of our 10 day vacation. The only reason I have 4 is because I bought 2 beautiful gold dresses today for the girls to wear to our CRT dinner. I couldn't come up with something to make for our CRT dinner and loved those.

Next up Giraffe Dresses for Animal Kingdom.

Looks great! I'm sure you'll get everything done you wanted to. Just set goals of how many outfits you want to complete every week.

 

[pumpkinpatchquilter]

kgleine All of your costumes are fantastic, but that Cinderella is such a showstopper! GORGEOUS!!! Did you wear these to Disney or for Halloween? Just love everything, thanks so much for sharing with us and inspiring us!!! Did you use a pattern or are these your own designs?

After that Cinderella dress I'm not as excited about my Belle dress hahahaha!!! I kind of slapped this one together for my youngest, although it's a little bit big so we'll play it by ear whether or not she wears it...

It was orig. 20.00/yd then eventually went redline for 10.00 then 1/2 off redline sale then addl 30% off entire purchase... Bought 16 yrds. It was worth the 2 year wait for 3.00/yrd. The netting is in the bridal section, the large hole netting is from there... I think this whole dress is like 27 yrs of fabric total? Then the bloomers are another 4? (flat pannel lace cut into strips and ruffled, and sewn to leggings)

I'm a fabric lurker too: my problem right now is I don't have a good way to store more than, like, 4 yards of anything...

I've got to ask: Will you be a matching set again? Prince Charming and. . .Lucifer? Jac-Jac? Gus? Random footman? I love costuming sets, but the closest I've ever gotten with DH is he was a moose one year and I was a hunter or lumberjack, depending on which accessory I had.

The Cinderella dress is amazing. I've never had the nerve to make a corset, though I have a couple of patterns.

kgleine All of your costumes are fantastic, but that Cinderella is such a showstopper! GORGEOUS!!! Did you wear these to Disney or for Halloween? Just love everything, thanks so much for sharing with us and inspiring us!!! Did you use a pattern or are these your own designs?

After that Cinderella dress I'm not as excited about my Belle dress hahahaha!!! I kind of slapped this one together for my youngest, although it's a little bit big so we'll play it by ear whether or not she wears it...

Wow! That Cinderella dress is stunning! I love it and you are extremely talented!

I'm sorry I don't keep up with the thread, it moves too fast for me to be able to keep pace.

I finished my daughter's Cinderella dress that the mice made. I am including a picture of the dress, but there is also a white underskirt that I still have to put the waist in. I made it removable so that she can wear the entire dress to our 1900 Park Fare ADR, but she can take off the underskirt when we head back to MK for the evening. It will still be hot.

We leave in 9 days!! Almost all my sewing is completed! Woohoo!!
