Here is what I did yesterday. DD2 got invited to her first birthday party. I know, she's young, but she is good friends with this girl that is turning 4. Her friend is going to Disneyworld over Easter, so we thought we would make a custom for her birthday present. I did not have a lot of warning, so this is what I came up with using only stuff I already had at home. (Okay, I sorta cheated on the buttons, I had to cut them off a coat of mine because I have no time to get out and buy buttons before the party). I hope it fits. Ths girl is turning 4 but she is really big for her age. I got some quick measurments, but I'm still worried about the fit. I serged the ruffle instead of hemming but I think I really like it! I may sort of CASE this for DD2 (can you CASE yourself?
), but I'm not sure if I have enough Minnie Dot left.
sorry to be so chatty
I'm just waiting for photobucket to upload my photos. My internet has been a nightmare lately.
The back with the "stolen" buttons
And the little $5 Wal-Mart purse we bought to go with it. Lily has this purse too and loves it! I love anything under $5
it! And the purse is just adorable!
seller. I used the bodice from McCall's 5036 and just attached a 3 tier twirl skirt. I looked for a long time to find a top that had a halter top with a rounded neckline.
Ok, I got the nemo outfit done. Still have to finish Ariel.
Sorry I feel like I will never catch up. On the plus side, I finished almost all of my PTA work so I can go back to sewing again! This is what I did today. I sewed six sashes together and cut out the words from sitcky back felt and stuck them on. They are for the Father/Daughter dance Friday. I let Megan try one on if she promised not to fuss if she didn't win. She sighed and said, Anna Gabrielle will win for kindergarten. She is the most beautiful. Awwww!
Look at the dumb dog! He is in every shot!

Yeah! Photobucket is back up. Here are a few more... Thanks for all the nice comments on my children. I have said it before and will say it again, all of the kids posted on here are exceptionally cute and the mama's (and papa's) are so creative.

I didn't make the girl's dresses but I did make my son's. This was Liberty Tree Tavern.

Our baby had her first haircut at the Main Street barber. I didn't plan for her "First Haircut" ears to match her dress but look how perfectly they did!

My eldest got the glitter and gel at the barber shop.
and the back of her neck to waist said size 12! Tall skinny thing!!! I chose to do the size 6 and I added a few inches to the length but it just didnt look right. Is there a better peasant top pattern out there that isnt so boxy?
Aimee she looks great in them...I have the same pillowcase but it will be a while before I sew my way down to it!!!The clothes are no longer a secret. I just told DD they were for Spring. She has had a pretty big growth spurt and a lot need to be adjusted!!!!! Here come more ruffles!
Anyway, here is her Tink set. I am getting bows done for the outfit. They are the same style as Leslies. Also I am getting a really cool bracelet from pbjboutique.
I put my projects in a pile in a basket and Ariel is near the bottom! I think since you all were just there, she just has no clue about the forthcoming trip!!!Awesome job and I just love the Minnie purse with it!!!Here is what I did yesterday.

Wow I love it!!! I love that you added the ribbon and the applique and the pants are too cute. Great job!!!Ok, I got the nemo outfit done. Still have to finish Ariel.
I don't know Anna, but I think your DD is the prettiest in her Kindergarten class and you can tell her I said so.Sorry I feel like I will never catch up.

She is a total HM fan. I have been informed that this weekend we will be buying HM stuff and I need to make her the pink HM skirt. 
She's too grown up for me.Sorry I feel like I will never catch up. On the plus side, I finished almost all of my PTA work so I can go back to sewing again! This is what I did today.

That is SO cute!! I think it turned out great, especially for a last minute project!!
That looks just perfect!

Tessa is shaped the same way. Her waist measurement for the skirt I made her today was size 1 and the height was a size 6. Anyway, I usually shirr the back of most anything I make her. You could try doing that on the back of the peasant top you already made. Or, you could try adding a sash to it!I did my first peasant top from the Sewing for Dummies pattern. it came together easily enough but was too boxy to actually wear. The measurements were strange for my dd too. Her chest said a size 4
Most of us got it at WalMart around Halloween. Hancocks has it every once in a while, and sometimes you can get it on ebay.
Yeah, yeah, me again! Photobucket is working at the moment, so here's the skirt I finished this morning. This is CarlaC's scaloppini skirt. I think it turned out really cute! Tessa is fresh from the shower.
It's not as short as the 2nd picture makes it look. It rode up when she raised her arms.
Here's a close-up and a perty circle:
This one's just 'cuz I thought it was cool (she jumped, she's not falling)!
I'm not sure what kind of shirt to put with it yet. But, I'm thinking of something with a Chip applique.
