and so have just downloaded what appears to be a simple ish halter dress from YCMT which i now am going to try to sew for her, by monday, despite having a 10month old boy just getting over chicken pox, a 2 and a half year old madam, er i mean beautiful girl, and the youngests christening to get ready for this sunday!
just a quick one, been busy on some non disney projects but definately still sewing! Anyway
its my mums 60th on the 7th april and she knows i've made her something, so she says today, "i can't wait to try my disney dress you're making me, or whatever it is." errrr hang on a minute mum, what i'd actually done was got one of the kinkade 1000piece jigsaws, put it together and then got it framed, noone mentioned sewing of any kind! so now i feel bad
pics to follow! wish me luck!
(never again) the 1000 piece kinkade jigsaw......
I didn't want a dissapointed mummy! So despite having a 10 month old getting over chicken pox, a 2.5 year old and the christening if the spotty ten month old this Sunday to sort out I thought I've got to do something for her!
)
but that's because we've just bought into dvc (resale! 
) so we will be coming "home for a long time! Hopefully in a few years I'll have a whole disney wardrobe just for our trips! 
Everything looks great and your little ones are adorable.So I explained the other day how I'd told my mum I was "making" her something for her 60th which is on the 7th April, then she shocked me by saying she couldn't wait to "try it on." Try what on? I've bought and completed
It's thankfully now finished and being picked up from the framers tomorrow!
BUT now I felt bad
So I dug out all. U disney material that's been in the attic since our dec trip and got the pattern off ycmt ($10 ouch but no time to shop for cheaper patterns)
Was up til 2am yesterday and just finished it now, very happy!
This is the back and the lining of the bust which I know is a bit sloppy but hey I'm still very much a beginner here!
I quite like the contrasting straps and waistband (the waistband contrast I actually added myself
So it's done and I'm majorly happy with it! Just hope it fits! The sizing was hard to judge my mums a 12ish and sizes were 10-12 or 14-16. Well I'd put her as a 12-14, definitely not a 10, so was a bit apprehensive. It has cup sizes too so went with the 10-12 and c cup. I think should be ok, the elasticated back should hopefully give me a bit of wiggle room.
Anyway that's that. Not done any other disney items as our next trip won't be until May 2015
I've done dd a couple of summer dresses, it's the janey dress off ycmt and have to say sooooo quick and easy even for a total amateur like me and love the look of it!
Dd modeling her dress, ds pre chicken pox!
Green version, not the best pic but was in a rush!
The cream version - much prefer this material but both nice for summer!
Happy sewing everybody!

I joined thank you! Next up on my sewing list is a Elsa dress for DD. I think I may need to call mIL for help but I couldn't resist the fabric I found. It was just so beautiful. I am doing like another seamstress and making a "frozen" repunzel so hopefully I will then make a real repunzel dress after the elsa dress
