Here is a real picture, but personally, I like the other one the best!

300 pages! Woo hoo!!!![]()
You ladies are so inspiring! I'm not an avid sewer, but you all make me want to be!
I made some bows the other night to match the Mickey Swirl fabric, I thought they came out pretty nice. I made a polymer clay Mickey head for the center!

I really like this outfit! I've been watching it for a while and I think it was a great price for the work put into it. Dena is making my Jojo outfit now and that was much, much more than I normally spend but DD loves Jojo and I love Dena's work.
Okay, I'm hoping someone (with more experience and/or a better eye than I!) can help me find a 3rd fabric for a Cars twirl skirt for my dd . . ..
I already have this red Lightning fabric and a checked flag type like this.
What do y'all think? A bigger, 'waving' checkered flag print like this? Or maybe something with the yellow in it?
I just don't seem to be having any luck finding the right fabrics for my 1st project! TIA!!!
Okay, you people are so inspiring (especially my sister, teresajoy)!! I haven't made an outfit since I tried making my nephew a baby outfit 15 years ago. I think it's still too big for him (yeah, it was pretty rediculous looking). So, keep in mind that I'm a novice when you look at the pictures.![]()
I bought a Minnie Mouse t-shirt for $3, a yard of pink and black dot fabric for $3 and a yard of black organza for $1, all at WalMart. I already had the ribbons. I'm just beside myself with excitement! So, I'm going to post the picture of the dress without my adorable daughter modeling it (she's not home and I can't wait). Here's what I made!![]()

Happy 4th everyone and happy page 300!!!
I love the outfits that have been posted. The older Nemo looks great and the older Minnie dot. Loved the remade curtains. Very cute. Who remembers Carol Burnett's "Gone With the Wind" spoof? Not that your outfit reminds me of those in any way whatsoever. It's just that someone mentioned the curtains

Not that your outfit reminds me of those in any way whatsoever. It's just that someone mentioned the curtains in GWTW and I can't think of them without thinking about Carol Burnett.
I also love the JoJo set. Very cute. I must be terrible at searching eBay. I have searched for things like this and nothing like this has ever shown up.
Oh, and I love the tutu pics. I just went to Joann's today and bought probably 50 yards of tulle in all different colors. It was on sale for $.49/yard, and I had a coupon for 10% off my entire order. Okay going back and doing the math. I think I bought closer to 100 yards.![]()
I'm sorry if I missed anyone. It is just so hard to keep up.

This is Princess Lexi. I made her dress for her 1st Bday pictures. I don't think you can tell, but I put tuffs of tulle around the hem and a matching bow. I couldn't keep the hair bow in her hair, so I ended up using an old headband and hooking the bow to that. Then I couldn't get her shoes to fit on her big feet! But they fit last month when I got them. But we made it through the photos. I didn't notice at the time the pictures were taken, but in the background, you can see little fairies. I think next pictures may have to be in a Tinkerbelle dress.

Oh my gosh, that dress is beautiful!! I love it! Lexi is gorgeous, too!
