DD started a new school today and everyone kept complimenting her on her bows and a name tag that I had made her. Well DD then starts telling everyone who will listen that her mommy will be making her some shirts for school and that I make her dresses and shorts and shirts and everything.She is very proud of the things that I make her. So Thanks again to you guys for inspiring me to start sewing again.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM............CADBURY MINI EGGS!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, those are my FAVORITE candy on the planet. Why did I have to start this darn diet at Easter candy time?you know, I am more of a cadbury egg kind of girl!
you know, I am more of a cadbury egg kind of girl!
oh I don't read it anymore i listen to it all day Something about not having to hold a book and being able to do other stuff is very appealing to me... although this is like my 3rd time reading them again...I spent the last 2 days reading Twillight & New Moon instead of sewing or cleaning or even staying caught up on here. But it was sooooooooo worth it.
I LOVE the Evil Queen outfit. And the chocolate bunny. And the Minnie Mouse (I really need more of that fabric).
Oh & Utahmama.....I think I now have an incredible urge to make a bunny & peeps outfit. Thanks alot.![]()
wowzza That is adorable . Maybe for yellow they could find a barrette to go with it... then that would tie the outfit together...okay so if you started it at midnight what time did you finish it???

It is not finished yet but from what i have seen it is gonna be beautifullllI was thinking maybe I should try to make a bow to go with it. I could emphasize the yellow with that!
Did I miss Wendy's outfit or is she holding out on us?????![]()

YUMMY Cadbury Mini Eggs MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
TinaLala- I love the HM comforter that you have for your DD. That is what I was looking for for DD's room, but Wal-Mart just had the one with the big dots on it and it has a HM applique with sequins on it.

Thanks so much for everyones kind words about my Evil Dress! LOL
It was very time consuming!!!! The pattern was a little tricky to understand. You also have to do a rolled hem to be successful. I sewed 82 rolled hems. It was a labor of love indeed. My daughter loved it and I was a little worried this outfit might give the surprise away. When she was finished trying it on she asked me two questions.
1. Can I wear it to the Chick Fila playground?
2. So, what's next?
I about fell on the floor. I told her of course you can wear it to the "chicken park" and the fairy godmother is next. I swear I do not know what to do when I have 10 days in WDW where I cannot sew anything! LOL
It's hard to follow Aimee's Evil Queen, but here's one thing I've done lately. This is for my dgd2. I need to get dd2 to try it on, but here it is for now.

I also made some of these for dd2 to wear with her Minnie outfits. Since I took this pic, I've added red/white ribbon for laces. Looks really cute!

I've also created a 3pc Cruella DeVil outfit for dd7 to wear to MGM, but I can't show it yet.
Hey, I was thinking about doind another villain to go with the skirt. What one would you do?
I just wanted you all to know that I HATE HATE HATE sewing by hand!!!!
I worked on Sawyer's Prince Charming outfit for 3 hours yesterday. I'm sewing on braiding and such. It has to be done by hand and it's taking forever and as I mentioned, I HATE sewing by hand!!
There, just had to vent!
I do have a question- when using braiding and fancy trim, how do you keep it from coming unraveled? At the store, they taped the ends before they cut it, but I don't want tape on his outfit. I tried hot glueing the ends, but it looks stupid.
Repetition for emphasis!

Whoever said "you can never have enough Minnie dot" was soooo right!
teresajoy ~ I love the dress! There aren't that many original ways to sew up that Minnie Dot at this point, but you found one. Very cute! Is the big sister dress going to be exactly the same?
jham ~ The gaucho fabric was on sale at my little quilt shop we have in town. They are in a 200 year old house and they turned the old chicken coup into the sale room! So, I bought it in the chicken coup! Does that help enough? Well if not here's what is says on the selvage edge - So you, sew fun 2006 RJR fabrics. Hope that helps.
that is cute.

I love all the chocolate bunnies...BUT, how about some Marshmallow PEEPS!![]()
Oh my heck those are good!
Whuuuut? You didn't clean your house or bathe?I KNOW! I totally fed my family cold cereal and Eggos when I was reading those 3 books!
PLEASE someone make a PEEP outfit! I think that someone should be meeeee!
I hear ya on the diet thing. And, I can pass along this gem of a tip:
Eating Easter chocolate or Peeps WITH diet Pepsi doesn't make them calorieless.On a similar note, eating Reeses while on the tread mill doesn't work either. This I know for fact. Oh, and carrot cake is not a vegetable.
Yuck!
Cadburry eggs make me gag!I can not be the only one here who thinks it's gross to bite into candy and have a yolk in there!!!!!
THat is so cool! She will get a lot of compliments in that! When or what park is she going to wear it to?I think I get to be the first person to post a new custom on the thread![]()
Here is the Evil Queen. My DD really has a thing for her. LOL

I think you are supposed to ease stitch (gather just a little bit) the sleeve so that the notches then line up. This makes the sleeve a little roomier for the arm.I asked this in the other thread, but not sure if we are still supposed to post there...so I will repost my question here...
For those of you making button down shirts for your ds..which pattern do you use? I use a McCall pattern, and for some reason, I just can't seem to match up the notches and dots for the sleeves....yet when I put the pattern on my fabric, I have marked them all correctly. I tried another boys top this past weekend, and again...I have problem matching up notches/dots on the sleeves again...so I am thinking it must be me...doing something wrong or not understanding the pattern?

mmm Mini eggs are our favorites here! The chocolate inside is so creamy! YUM YUM YUM!I'm with you, I don't really like Cadbury eggs, I like Cadbury MINI eggs!!! They're like big M&Ms with cadbury chocolate inside. DEEE-LICIOUS!!!
Repetition for emphasis!
I promised a lady at Brian's work that I would make outfits for her Grand daughter's trip to Florida, then realized they are leaving in like a week!So, I stayed up last night to get one of the dresses done. They are eating at Chef Mickey's, so I made a Minnie dress. This is for a 2 year old. I still need to make one for the 6 year old though.
All in all, I think it turned out pretty cute! I'm wishing there was maybe a bit more yellow on it, but Brian said it looked perfect the way it was (I love my husband!) and took it to work allready!

The back. I retied this silly bow 4 times trying to get it just right to show you guys! But, it still doesn't look right!

I was upset that I didn't have any black and white polka dot fabric, but then I found this cute little flower fabric in my stash. I really like the way it looks.

So DD10 mentions to me last night, as she is working on her oral book report for tomorrow, she is supposed to DRESS UP for her report.

Adorable and I love the flower fabric too! Don't you love it when you have to improvise or be super creative and it comes out better then you thought?Repetition for emphasis!

Gee how ever did that happen???I went to joanns for the sale over the weekend and this somehow ended up in my cartalong with 10 yards of muslin (to make photo backdrops) numerous spools of thread, 7 yards of tulle to make a pettiskirt, (which I finally bought the pattern from ycmt.com) so all in all a very expensive trip! LOL I got the serger set up and it works great! I'm going to tackle the petti this afternoon. We'll see how it goes.![]()
