You say "evil" like it's a bad thing
Hi Celery!!"Ms. Stalker"!
Ok, I have only done actual wearable items in high school (My mother used that apron I made for years because she felt sorry for me). So I read the instructions on my "SUPER EASY pattern" carefully and said many clean-cuss words...and "The Purple Ariel Outfit of '07" was born. I Just finished "The TEAL Ariel Jumper '07" and it has a liner and a blind hem!!!I'm so proud! But my model is pissy right now. I have to psych up for a photo session with Her Magesty with about a 44 ouncer of cherry diet pepsi and some kind of chocolate
MY pathetic jumper is not worthy to grace this thread after the cool Cow one just posted! But I will to prove that even a super-dork beginner like me can create something marginally passible (just don't look at the underside).
thanks!
Here are some photos of my DD in her dress!

It is a halter style, but you can't see it with DD's long tresses!

Enjoy!
I can't believe I am saying this, but I am headed out to the fabric store!
There is a sporting goods store right next door, I might have to pop in there when I am done to boost back my testosterone level!
Great things everyone is posting!
Keep up on the good work, and very inspiring ideas!
Okay a few more pictures nad then I will quit hoging the thread! I am just tickled that I finally figured out how to post pictures (after months of lurking!!! and random posts!). Thanks to everyone who has helped me and to everyone I have *borowed* ideas from.

Since you guys know "everything" and are super helpful
!
Everyone's outfits have been an inspiration to us all!
I know that I was the first male poster on this thread. I bet I am the first male sewer on this thread also.
DW used to sew all the time, and I would occasionally help her with threading the machines, and the general maintenance and cleaning of them. Well, I guess I kinda taught myself too in the process.
DW has developed skin allergies and now finds it hard to sew. She still wanted DD to wear customs at the park and for dinners, so I decided that I would give it a try.
Also, I just have to say that the bookmarks on the first page of this thread were a GREAT help. It answered some questions that I had, and also saved me some bucks on custom bows for DD. DW used to buy them on the popular auction site, but now, we figured out how to do them ourselves!
This was also the first time that I had done any kind of applique work. I practiced on some scraps, until I got the hang of it. I think it turned out o.k.
So.... should I trudge on and try to make some more? DW has about 20 rubbermaid storage containers full of fabic and "stuff". I hate to see it all go to waste!

(10 yrs later)
What you don't see on the outfit is the one mistake or should I say "mishap" that happened when I was adding the ruffle on the bottom.
I had my DD on my lap, she was "helping", and I accidentally caught the bottom of the dress into the cutting knives of the serger.
DD actually saw it first as green rick-rac was poring out of the serger!
Luckily I caught it in time. (I really didn't want to redo one whole side of applique work that I had worked so hard on!)
I had to "mend" the area with more fabric, reapply the rickrack and all came out well.
I told her that it was our little secret!The first thing she told Mommy when she got home from work, was that I cut a hole in her dress.
). DD was at her grandparents. She came home, I didn't say a word. She spots her shirt and all of a sudden does a "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SHIRT" -- oh, yes dear, the sewing machine was hungry . I didn't even think she would notice too much as it wasn't sitting anywhere obvious but she passed it, happen to see the snag/hole & stopped mid-step I have put that one aside to deal with it later as I don't think I can save it but may try some other time.
I must have missed something..
break out the
NoFYI: This thread began 1-30-07. I joined 2-24-07, for THIS Thread.
I l-o-v-e to sew, applique & help. I am NOT here to SELL.
I made some custom outfits for someone, in a private sale.
I've been sewing for her for 2-2.5 years.
She posted several pixs of her children Here.
They were pictured wearing MY creations/outfits AND others'.
Many "who made it" questions & PMs, quickly popped up,
She didn't know what to say on my behalf,
To be nice & save time, I posted a simple "I-made-that-for-her",
I added the pixs of the outfits I had made (to not take credit for others').
I was just pointing out the ones I had made: to answer the ?'s.
I meant NOTHING more to it.
I Really Loved Seeing Pixs of them wearing my work!
It was my 1st time seeing them! I'm glad they fit & looked nice.
Thanks for all the nice compliments!
I am Sorry, IF anyone MISTOOK what I wrote, to mean something else, OR to be "snotty".
I did NOT mean THAT, at all.
It wasn't NOT "code" for anything.
