[revrob]

Lost my quote - but just wanted to say that I'll see what I can do about getting a tutorial together. My machine is in the shop right now, so it'll be a few days before I can get it together.

I just can't keep up with you guys!!!! I wanted to share what I just finished. These are for dd2 and dgd2 to wear to MK when dd7 wears her Cinderella custom. I didn't care for the Anastasia at first, but once I got Drizella finished, I love them together!!! Since I took these, I did attach a green ruffle to the front of Drizella and they are all packed for December!

I LOVE these! What a great great idea! I bet they will get tons and tons of attention! To cute!

OK you said they were all packed up for Dec? We are going then too the second week. Am I packing to warm I was assuming we would need sleeves? No?

Good morning all. I just love what I am seeing so far! (I'll comment in a bit).

Well, I didn't get my sewing machine last night. But, it's okay, because I think I have finally decided which one to get! And it neither of the ones I was thinking about. I think I am going to go with the Brother CS6000i. I know a lot of you, like Nana and Tom, use this and really like it, so I am going to go for it!! I am really excited. I tried to get it last night, but my dinky Walmart didn't have it, so I am going to keep looking. Hopefully by the end of the weekend!!! Then I can start showing what I have done! Making stuff for little babies is so fun - and pretty cheap (MUCH less material!!) Thanks for all your help with types of machines/rufflers. By the way, for the CD6000i, did you just get the Brother ruffler, or get one off of Voldemort?

Okay, now back to reading so I can get caught up (at least on this particular thread) and start commenting.

I have the Costco version of this machine. I bought my ruffler off of ebay. It is a snap on foot ruffler.

Most commercial patterns have measurements on the back so you can find the one that most closely matches your daughter. I try to match the "around" measurement (chest, waist or hip) and then lengthen. The patterns usually have lines to cut to shorten or lengthen the pattern.

CarlaC's patterns have measurements too, so you know how much fabric to buy for each size and which size your kid is. She is very good about that!...

I am taking an advanced sewing class on Saturdays and we are learning how to customize a pattern/etc. I think that is easier than reading the instructions from those commercial patterns. lol

tnmom25, awesome work! Yes, they are so unique and your girls are stunning!

just wanted to show off my ticker....one day less than 1 year whoo hoo....our first disney experience

 

[froggy33]

I made this for Epcot, but Kirsta wants to wear it to MK becuase of Small World.

Very cute. Can you still find the Epcot/Small World Fabric with the faces??

My mom is thinking there is something missing on the front, maybe a bow to make it a "Minnie" instead of a "Mickey". I think it is fine the way it is. What do you all think?

I like this a lot. I think a bow could add something to it, but either way. For the ribbon - do you just sew a stitch across the top and bottom from seam to seam or is it "bonded on"??

These shirts are SO cute. Did you use an embroider machine or just a regular sewing machine for the names??

These are ADORABLE. I may have to CASE for my little one!!

The birthday girl in her party dress. of course, it was too cool Saturday for her to wear it without something under it. Figures.

This dress is just lovely!! And she is so cute!

This is such a cute, simple dress!

This dress is to die for, such a cute little girl. Happy Birthday to her!

tnmom25 - The step sisters dresses are great and very original. they don't get much face time.

Thanks revrob for your help on rufflers!

Okay, better get back to work for a bit!!

The ribbon came with the white stitching on it, but my mom did sew it on. We figured it would hold better.

What (brand) patterns do you ladies find are best for beginners? As I mentioned before, I would like to try my hand at a simple dress/skirt.

Another Enabler Alert! CLEAR VINYL FROM HANCOCK'S!!!

Someone last week was talking about they saw clear vinyl w/princesses at their Hancock's (can be used for raincoats, purses, etc.). I was at mine this morning and I saw it. It is really cute and they also had Pooh, Cars, Princesses and Mickey Mouse. The price was $7.99 and it was on sale for 30% off!

Personally as a beginner I have found CarlaC's patterns on youcanmakethis.com to be the best - she is very through, they have loads of step by step pictures. I just print out the pattern size I need and read all the rest on the screen. I had never made anything before this year, and have made loads of stuff in the last couple months!
