Forgive me for cutting out some pictures from the quotes. I was so far behind....
Welcome back! I had no idea that you are a supply teacher too! I am sure the students kept you busy! Have fun at the crop next week!
I apologize in advance but I need a translation: what is a "supply" teacher?
I am nearly done with DD's Belle gown! I have just the finishing details, sleeves, and some hemming to figure out. I forgot to take into account the length of the bodice when I figured the length of the skirt--so the skirt is too long.
The back: notice the extra panels in the middle that created a train. These panels are sparkly. I wish I'd added the gold trim to the back of the bodice, but oh well!
The front:
AMAZING. You did a wonderful job on this dress. It is beautiful.
I have a little friend who will be making her first trip to Disney World in November. I made this outfit for her and hope to make a couple more for her before the trip.
How nice of you to make this for your little friend. I know she will enjoy it because it is so cute.
Hi everyone. As so many others have said, you all continue to inspire me with your amazing creations. Here's a few things I've been working on over the last couple of months to try to keep up with all of you!
Four Quarters Dress (by Monkeysbug):

Jackets from a recent Big Give:
Skirt (with button hole elastic):

The jackets are really great and I love the idea of the button hole elastic to make the skirt adjustable. That little dress is adorable.
So I had a second miscarriage (almost exactly a year apart) and am having a hard time getting back to sewing. I have a ton of ideas, but just can't start. I also got a new serger at a great price. But scared to use it. I know I just need to turn it on and try it, but..... :/
So sorry to hear about your loss. Maybe you can stitch something up for yourself. Hope you are doing OK :hugs:
It`s elastic that has little button holes every inch or so. It basically allows the waistband to be re-sized. You need to leave an opening in the waistband and add a button. You can then re-position the elastic as needed.

Thanks!
I have been up sewing until midnight or later for more than a week and I'm still not close to being finished. Of course I've had more on the needle than just Disney. Here is most of the Disney from the last week and one birthday gift that I thought turned out cute.
Phew! You must be worn out. The little bitty baby clothes are so cute. I absolutely LOVE the Snow White top.
I just finished up my own toy story shirt embroidery today, I am hoping to get it sewn up soon. I am making the Sisbom Devon peasant top w/ appliqués added. My boys love the appliqués and have requested that shirt be for them. except one said it looked more like a blanket and could he use it as a blanket. sigh.
I have put my etsy shop on hold and wrapped up the last of the embroidery for my friend's disney trip (they leave tomorrow, I did 9 t-shirts for her kids, embroidered 2 bowling shirts that she sewed, plus added appliqués to a t-shirt and a polo for her and her husband for
MNSSHP.) I have 33 days to get my own family's awesome outfits done. I have cut out 4 bowling shirts for my kiddos, a bowling shirt for my hubby and 2 of the sisboom tops for me. Plus a ton of t-shirts that need to be embroidered. And two kids who have 100 percent given up napping.
I'll post stuff when I actually make it.
No more naps. BOOOO! One of the worst days in a mom's life (plus for you it is times two). I'm impressed you can get anything done at all!
I love your Toy Story shirt. It turned out really nice. Those Doc McStuffins outfits are the cutest! You have been making some really fun stuff.
Back from Disney and I thought of you all every time I saw a custom anything!
I did get a couple of things done for myself, but I'll have to wait and get pictures after they are washed. I just did a quick look through the pictures we have uploaded to the computer and none of them show up well.
Love the Toy Story shirt.
Can't wait to see some of the things you made.
We are getting ready to head to
disneyland, there were a lot of things on the list to do before we leave, but I only managed to finish this. It is the Out and about bag from ycmt:
I really like the denim detail you added.
ETA: oh yeah, the reason I came by. My son has been BEGGING me to make him a knight outfit for a month. Every single day. "Have you made my knight outfit yet?" then today he upped his order to be a knight outfit AND a dragon outfit for his twin brother so I he can protect me (the princess, naturally) from the Dragon. Weak plot-point where I made my own nemesis aside, I took him to Joann fabric to pick out his knight fabric. He picked this insanely shiny, thin, nightmare-to-work-with fabric. So I paired it with $3/yard gray felt and the Portrait Peasant pattern to come up with this in about an hour. I spray basted the shiny "Knightmare" fabric to the felt and it was a breeze to work with. I did the shield from felt too, which I added an embroidery design I downloaded for free. I have since added another elastic lower than the shield to make it less dress like.
And what does the knight think? I know you're dying to know. "Um, Mom, where is my shield and my sword and my helmet???"
Sigh.
This is awesome. And I saw your dragon too.
So where is your princess dress? "Knightmare"
I bought a cloth napkin at WDW a while back and decided to make it into a cover for my kindle fire
I don't really like the white elastic (it holds the cover closed), but didn't feel like running to the store to see if they make colored elastic - does anyone know?? Orange would have been perfect!
I think I have enough left to make a wristlet
I just thought the fabric was cute!!
That came out great. I have seen fold over elastic at Joanns that is colored but I'm not sure that would be strong enough to hold the kindle closed. Maybe you could make a sleeve for the elastic with some contrasting fabric?
The past week's sewing. I was crazy productive! This is just the Disney stuff, I got way more sewn than this.
Wow, you have been busy!!! 8 Yards of fabric
Such beautiful dresses and the matching doll clothes are so sweet.
I bought the same napkins and turned them into doll skirts. I wish I would have bought more because I've never seen them again and we went back shortly after I bought them the first time.
I thought of you as soon as I saw that fabric. Of course I am the fortunate and proud owner of one of your doll skirts from this fabric.
