Here it is on her:
It did turn out a little shorter then I wanted. What do you think? This is pressed at a 1/4" hem so I could do a 1/8" and give it a little more length.
Jeanne! You are funny!!! Luke sure made a cute Luke!!!And I bet if you jump up and down yelling for them to pick your childthey might pick that "boy with the excitable parent"
Not that I'd know anything about that.
Pooh outfit complete...finally... The shorts are a little bulky in the crotch but hopefully they'll look fine on. I just want to move on to the next Disney trip outfit. I'll post pics in the morning of Violette in it.
Update on Barbara: As you know, I was just on the phone with Heather, she had just gotten off the phone with our brother, David.
Barbara is up and walking around already! I coulnd't believe it! Heather is going up there tonight after Henry gets home. It looks like they are planning on her coming home tomorrow.
I know I am missing and forgetting things, sorry, I am a little distracted because this is what my child looked like when she got off the bus:
Both front teeth came out! No more cute baby smile.

Here is the outfit that I have been working on for days. I know that Rara has been waiting forever to see this. It is a M2M gymbo. The shirt is gymbo and I am going to make Russell a matching shirt and pants. Well here it is.
Ok, I got this finished today. I'm sure it's a CASE, but not sure who from. I remember seeing a similar fabric (maybe identical, I don't know) and liking it. Finally decided to pull it off the shelf and make something from it.
I call this "Ode to Carla C" It is the Simply Sweet dress, easy fit pants & portrait peasant top.
First modeled (because I have to brag!).
Is this guy new? I don't recall seeing him before. Anyhoo The Fancy Nancy outfit is done! Well, with the exception of accessories! Ella was THRILLED (even though she doesn't look it in the pics.) Oh, and for the record - I'm not apologizing for her hair, I'm EXPLAINING that she was fresh up from a nap, so it's a little disheveled, to say the least.
Wow, so many cute items shared!
I still don't have our vacation photos edited to share. I've been so busy since we got back but hopefully I'll have time this weekend. I doubt I'll do a trip report, though, so my post here will have to do... when I'm ready. LOL
Anyway, as I said I've been busy. Here's some of what I've been working on.
BTW - Yes, 2 of the sets are similar to ones I've shared before although the mom I made these for wanted shorts rather than capris. Once I get our vacation photos ready, I'll be able to actually share photos with Zoe in her sets. It's probably the last time I'll get her to wear such outfits on a Disney trip. :-(
Thanks for all the kind words! I really love the close-up/large scale appliques. Getting to do the Pirate Minnie was a lot of fun, too. The only problem was all the "gold coins" because I really don't like sewing with metallic thread. It always seems to break even when I loosen the tension. Anyone have tips on working with that kind of thread?
BTW - I just finished tees to coordinate with Pirate Minnie. It was another fun one but a lot more detail than I'd considered. Once it was done and I could see it, I was glad I did the detail... although a small treasure chest would have been cool to add.
As for the Star Wars costumes, I tried to explain who Minnie was supposed to be. She's never seen any of the movies and kept thinking I was talking about Star Tours (she loved that ride). We did get to watch part of one Jedi Academy session but since Leia isn't part of that, I don't think she gets the connection.
Speaking of our trip, here are a few photos:
My little "treasure" on Tom Sawyer's Island (aka Pirate's Lair?)
At breakfast with Minnie and friends:
Zoe waiting to get into Disneyland one morning.
Later that day admiring herself after her princess makeover at the Princess Fantasy Faire. (Her hair didn't look this way for long because she just had to go swimming that afternoon.)
Zoe and her 2 cousins in their coordinating sets. These were a very last minute project... I was up all night the night before we left trying to get these done. (Her hair was still slightly "princessified" this day.)
Welcome to the board....this cracked me up!!! My mind knows how to sew as well, it's my hands that have the problems!! Hahaha

I love them Lisa! That shy Minnie is one of my all time favs!

I LOVE this one!!
Oh goodness, does this picture just tug at your heartstings or what!! It is so perfect!!!!At breakfast with Minnie and friends:
1.)Come on littls Misscammiescott!!! Give it a try, what's the worst thing that could happen?? Do I need to post that picture of Corey in the outfit Heather sewed for him again?????? Don't push me, you KNOW I will!1.)THAT is SO CUTE!!! Awesome job on the ruffles!!! I must say...you give me hope! It was not too long ago that you started posting on the board with not much experience! Look at you now!!!
2.)you are very very talented!! I'm so glad you love Disney!! Talent should not be wasted on Non Disney pursuits!
(Ebay)
and the original:
Now I just need to make the accessories and figure out the party decorations and cake!
ETA: I should add that the skirt is the wrap skirt from YCMT and the top is Carla's peasant top, but shirred instead of elastic casing.
My model finally woke up. She was somewhat cooperative...kinda...lol...
Absolute perfection! Great job, the skirt looks like it was made for that shirt. I have gymbo shirts I plan on trying that with, I hope they come out half as good as yours. Love the little goldfish!
1) I think it would look perfect with a searsucker. I did my pillowcase peasant top with searsucker:

Lisa you are amazingly talented. I hope on day to be 1/4 as talented as you are. They are fantastic and as always I love your fabric choices.I love the nemo sets, LOL staying up all night is something I did before our last trip. All the pics are super cute. I am dreading the day that Roseanna won't wear that kinda stuff anymore. She is 5, I wonder how much longer I have.Thanks for all the kind words! I really love the close-up/large scale appliques.

That is just too cute!! I saw that Pooh fabric at Wal-Mart the other day and I was really thinking about getting it. The dress that Eyeore4Ever made for her DD was just too cute and now you go and make this one. I might have to go pick up some of this fabric.Pooh outfit complete...finally...

Well, okay then... hi there!I'm Adrienne, and I'm a wanna-be seamstress. I've created some amazingly beautiful outfits - dresses, capris, blouses, twirl skirts... in my mind. In reality, my creations have thus far been limited to eleventy billion pairs of elastic-waist pajama pants and The Denim Jumper That Is Not To Be Mentioned.
My model finally woke up. She was somewhat cooperative...kinda...lol...
Here's my practice dress with practice fabric. I like the dress, except it is not so modest for my DD9. How can I make something else dressy out of this using this fabric. (I only have a little bit uncut)?
Another boy/girl matching set. The boys will have blue dress pants. The short still needs buttons and a hem. What color buttons would you use?
Eek! Me try a ruffle???I guess I could try but I would have to use the same fabric since I do not have anything to coordinate with it.
