There have been sooo many cute outfits over the last few days posted here. I'll get to my sewing soon but have been working on new jewels instead. That swirly retro Mickey fabric has finally given me a reason to use my Mickey's & come up with this fringe bracelet.
Thank you so much ladies!I have a list and am heading to the store. And thank you Teresa for that website. I read a few on the items needed and bookmarked it for later. I'm sure I'll spend tons of time there!!!
If I can accomplish this sewing thing then anybody can, so everybody join in!!
Were they with sewing or scrapbooking stuff? I scrapbook and I'm going to NEED those buttons to do a matching layout!!
It's done! Phew- This is the WalMart dress I did for Laila's 2nd birthday party on Sunday, the theme is Minnie Mouse.
Please ignore her more than thrilled expression- she has inherited her mama's dramatic streak!
I also included one pic of the under skirt, made of muslin that I attached the tulle to. I am using it under another skirt as well.
I was just thinking about the previous post on the lesson of just buy the fabric when you see it after reading your post. Then reading yours about how you'll wish you had some had.
I was at JoAnn's last night and it took oh, about all my restraint, not to buy a bunch of fabric because the only thing going through my mind was "If you see Disney fabric buy it because eventually you'll want it".
I saw some Mickey Mouse Halloween ones and thought that it would be good for anyone going to MNSSHP, so was tempted to get some even though we would probably never go during that time.I might still go back. They also had Mickey & Minnie with hearts, that reminded me of Valentine's day.
I'll have to check Hobby Lobby out, last time I was there I was not too thrilled with their selection but I hadn't read this thread either and now I've got the sewing bug. We are going to see High School Musical on Ice in January, so after this thread I'm thinking I should make her something specific for that, that was not originally on my agenda.
A little OT, but when I got married, I made my own wedding dress. After we (me and Mom) bought the fabric, a gorgeous double sided satin, my Mom said, "You know, Teresa, you can NOT make any mistakes on this dress, becasue you won't be able to take them out." I thought to myself, "watch me!" Well, I made some mistakes, and I took them out and redid them, and the dress still turned out beautifully! Mom was so stressed about my wedding, I don't know what she would have done if I had replied, "Done is better than perfect!" but, it is so true!!!
And now, I'm going to use this as an excuse to post my wedding pictures!
just me
And, just to tie it all in with Disney, there are little hidden Mickey's all over my veil made out of pearls.

On a less than fabulous note, I took my lunch hour today to drive to Hobby Lobby because I saw a fabric there in May (last time I was there. It's not close) and I wanted some to make capri pants for DD.
They have a *ton* of stuff, including Disney, on clearance. And their "regular" shelves are practically bare.They were out of the fabric that I wanted though -- and the clerk didn't expect to be getting more -- so it was a wasted trip.
WOW! Wonderful job!! I would be so scared to even adjust a size of a wedding dress! I so couldn't make one from scratch! Way To Go! Something to be very proud of. Thank you for sharing with us!
I've noticed the change at Hobby Lobby too! I was telling my sister a few months ago what a wonderful selection they had. But, when I was there the other day, the selection was abuot half of what it had been! What's going on!
Ok, here is the latest installment in the "Beginner's Boutique" where nothing is perfect but my daughter likes it. Excuse her hair: she just back from camp and wouldn't let me touch it:
Now she told me she would like a princess nightgown!

since I can't sew to save my my life. What pattern did you use? The ones I saw in the store were very confusing to me. My DD is a very small 7 YO so she still loves princesses for a while longer I hope.
