If the homemade bias tape is not cut properly it won't work right with the curved parts of the dress. The bias tape has to be cut at an angle across the fabric. If that makes sense. The angle that it is cut at makes it easier to curve the bias tape around any curves you might have. That is why I buy store bought bias tape.

Ohhhhh....hence the word bias! Thanks for the heads up! Guess I'm off to WalMart tomorrow for bias tape!

I love those tiered dresses...too too cute!!

are they tough to make or on the easier side?

As a complete and total novice who completely admits to throwing in the towel as soon as things get overly complicated and I feel like a moron...

would these dresses be too difficult for a beginner?

I am a beginner when it comes to clothes it was easy I used the easy stitch n save M5370 pattern got it from walmart. I liked it cause there is no buttons or zippers ( kinda scared of those lol).

gotta ask where did you get the fabric? My dd would die for that.

I just looked through all the pictures and they all look great .

Can I ask where you are all finding your great disney fabric? I have seen some princess stuff locally but no mickey stuff. I have already purchased some Ariel fabric and a pink print with all the princess on it. I have seen some cute tinkerbell fabric too but DD didn't like it . But I would LOVE to find some neat mickey/minnie stuff.

But, this is my favorite, FAVORITE dress. Cinderella is my favorite Disney movie and I always liked this dress better than Cinderella's ball gown.

You had first posted this when I first started into this thread. Had it in my head to CASE for DD. I saw the sparkly pink at WM the other day- I didn't realize that (looks like?) what you used too? Maybe I noticed it in my subconscious

Now just to get the other projects done.

Pink dress is much nicer and it was made with alot of

Well, this is what I did today. I attempted a headband. Ended up pretty lucky, it fits her head exactly. Tried one of the fabric daisies. I don't know what happened between gathering and stitching it together, it fell flat. I will have to try again. Is it too big? And I finished the outfit for the doll, which you can tell by her dishelved hair has been immaculately cared for (grrr).

I finally finished the Peanuts outfit for DD! (to match the shirt I made DS last week). I decided on the new CarlaC pattern, and assumed I'd have to do a stripwork, but I had just enough fabric to make it work!

Trying to see if it twirls...

And Bitty and Nikki got dresses too!

If I have time, I will also make an underdress, but my mom is coming to town, and I am runnin out of time!

Now that looks like fun. DD and DH have never been to the ocean so I think that we are going to take a little trip to the beach when we go to Florida in May. Does anyone have any recommendations for a nice not too busy beach to visit?

I'm afraid to try the headbands. I don't think that I can get one to turn out right. I love the big flower and the doll dress. DD doesn't have any dolls with nice hair so don't feel bad. What pattern did you use to make your headband?

 

[fortheluvofpooh]

need a pattern for a diaper bag. does anyone have one? Tom, I loved the loves me, loves me not pattern, do you think it could be enlarged to make it a diaper bag?

Um, one of her old ones. I just made a tube longer than one of hers and shirred it. I bet Teresa has lots of patterns on her site (slapping head!). Next time I'll look.

I'm so excited, I had the share. My sister and I just booked a surprise weekend trip May 8-12. We are taking our kids, ages 10, 7, 6, 4, 3, and 2. No husbands this time. It will be short, wild and WONDERFUL!!!!! I can't wait!

Just had to pipe in to say ONLY 2 MORE NIGHTS!!! Hopefully will have a chance to check in while we're there with pics.

Thank you for reminding me of Teresa's bookmarks there are several links for headbands. I might give them a try. Jenna got her hair cut short and it really looks cute in a headband.

Welcome! Cute custom..and what a cute little tinkerbell! Just curious, where are you in Texas? Your dd looks a lot like this other little girl that I know, and her name is Carissa too, and she has a little sister, Cailey.

Hi Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on my pics! We live in south texas..2 hours south of San antonio. So I don't think it's my carissa you know because my baby's name is Ava!

(about the weather). That pattern only goes up to a size 3 so I'm going to have to figure out how to make a size 12! If I remember correctly, it is basically 2 half circles and a quarter circle with a curve on top for the waist, stitch all 3 pieces together, hem the bottom and 2 sides, serge or zigzag the waist then make a (long) double sided waistband/tie (different fabric for each side) and just stitch it ON TOP of the waist of the skirt. Make a buttonhole in the waistband to pull the tie through and voila! It was pretty easy. And because it is adjustable, your waist size doesn't have to be perfect.

Thanks for the summary. I can probably figure it out from that. I was guessing it was something like that.

It was snowing here about a week & a half ago, so I'm glad it's gotten warmer. Now if would just stop raining before Saturday so we can have our Easter egg hunts.
