I have been working all day on my black/pink/mickey ruffled skirt. I had really great success with the ruffler.

It took a lot of fabric and a long time! I made a strip work skirt out of the different fabrics. Then I made a black underskirt and attached the ruffle. Instead of doing an elastic waist I thought it would be fun to do a ribbion drawstring. Well here is the problem. . . DD is super skinny and has no hips! The fabric is too heavy and the skirt is falling down. There is no way she could flitter around WDW in this! I am not sure how to fix! Suggestions?

The skirt is a little long on purpose. She will grow plenty by the time she wears it. I am also making a black halter to go with. Of the three fabrics which do you think would be the cutest Mickey applique?

I like one of the pink ones for the applique.

disneylovinfamily those are super cute.

This technically isnt a sewing thing as a crafty thing, but I am stumped....
I appliqued this dolphin on to a t-shirt for DS (we used the clear gel fabric paint hoping it would look like water...it kind of does, just not in this photo) but I think it might still need something.

maybe a friend (another dolphin) or should I try to add bubbles or waves with the paint? I like it and am a bit nervous about messing up what I have, but I am willing to try to make it better. (Do you know that feeling?)

Thanks for any ideas.

Sept. 30th?!

I will be sure to look for my fellow DISers!

DD wants to be Tink! So now I have to "think and design" something for her to wear!

No. I'm on the 28th. Nevermind!

Hello ladies and Tom! (Oh wait, that's me! ) Thanks for including me in your posts. It really does encourage me to try to go on with making more creations!

My latest endeavor (inspired by LisaZoe's creations!):

Tom, beautiful work!! I love the Mickey on the back!

Most of the time she just pretends to sew with it. It actually takes me more time to thread this, than my regular machine.

Oh, how sweet! My daughters have versions of this sewing machine, and I have only threaded them twice I believe, because they are such a pain! Lydia just likes to sit by me with a scrap of fabric and pretend to sew anyway, so it's good. Arminda I'm afraid, just may not have the patience to sew. Corey though, has his very own, real sewing machine, courtesy of Aunt Heather (hkite).

And you all are a bunch of enablers! Now what am I going to do with 12 yards of Minnie dot from Wal-mart!

You should have ran before it was too late!

I absolutely love Tom's latest!!! Beautiful. Everyone is doing such a great job on here. I need to sew more and dis less. Maybe then I would finish something too. The choices we have to make---- .

I thought I read somewhere where someone got a cheap ruffler foot. Does anyone know where and how much??? I don't want to pay $30 for one. I don't have a little girl anymore--- she's a tween and that is alot for me to pay when I do the occasional for my niece. Thanks ---- Mindy

That was me, we got one of the White's ruffler feet (TheSeamstres posted a picture of one awhile back, and it's probably on the photobucket site) for $6.99 at Hancock's. They were on clearance, half off. They will try to tell you it won't fit your machine, but my advice would be to buy it if you aren't sure, and try it out. You can always return it if it doesn't work. We were told it wouldn't work on ours, but it does.

I've still got about 80 days to go, but I'm already walking around my house with permagrin and doing the happy dance! Is anybody else *THIS* crazy??

Did you happen to see the picture Heather posted of us in the Walmart fabric department? That should answer the crazy question! I would be SOOOO excited if I only had 80 days left!!!!! As someone said so many pages ago, "I'll banana along with you!"

I have been working all day on my black/pink/mickey ruffled skirt. I had really great success with the ruffler.

It took a lot of fabric and a long time! I made a strip work skirt out of the different fabrics. Then I made a black underskirt and attached the ruffle. Instead of doing an elastic waist I thought it would be fun to do a ribbon drawstring. Well here is the problem. . . DD is super skinny and has no hips! The fabric is too heavy and the skirt is falling down. There is no way she could flitter around WDW in this! I am not sure how to fix! Suggestions?

The skirt is a little long on purpose. She will grow plenty by the time she wears it. I am also making a black halter to go with. Of the three fabrics which do you think would be the cutest Mickey appliqué?

It looks great! I am guessing that tightening the elastic didn't do the trick to keep it up. You could make a waistband and add a zipper or a button, that should keep it up. Or, if all else fails, suspenders ought to do the trick!

I like the black fabric with the pink dots for the appliqué.

Next are my jazzed up wallyworld dress and kmart overalls that I turned into a dress---they are not completely done as I need to do finishing touches.

This is the nemo I made---keep in mind all my creations are done by hand now!

I love the pimped out Minnie dress! I never thought of adding a panel to the bottom! Shoot! They were too short for Lydia, but she's so skinny, she could have worn it if it were longer. I haven't seen any of those at our Walmarts in awhile though. Well, yours looks fantastic!!!

That is one of my all time favorite twirling pictures!!!!

And, your daughter is going to be a gorgeous flower girl!!! She looks so pretty in that dress!

I have lost my ever lovin mind. I am set for Disney - we go 3 weeks from Monday. Daughter has an adorable custom for each day. I am still lurking here and on the boutique pages looking for more though.

What is wrong with me?? Is anyone else as obsessed!?

Hugs all! Love looking at all of your beautiful outfits.

I don't have kids and I am sewing continuously!

I keep showing all these tiny clothes I'm making to people and they're like "Who are they for?"

Umm.
Tammy's goddaughter that we're taking to Disney with us.
I'm crazy!

I'm really scared of what I would spend if I had my own kids.

disneylovin - I'm going to do a nemo applique and I'm thinking of ideas. Do you have a close up of your shirt? I might want to "case" it.

Hello ladies and Tom! (Oh wait, that's me! ) Thanks for including me in your posts. It really does encourage me to try to go on with making more creations!

My latest endeavor (inspired by LisaZoe's creations!):

And for a little surprise!, The back!:

It will either be a "hidden Mickey" or if she gets the princess side dirty during a meal, you can just "flip" it around and she will be "clean".

I made the matching hair bows too!


Also, my ruffler foot got a work out on this one! I don't think that I would have attempted something like this with out one!



Let me know what you all think!

AWESOME!!!!! Tom, you are doing some amazing work! I am curious to find out what your day job is b/c you could certainly make a living making boutique clothes. I am just in AWE of everything you have done!!! Good work my man!

 

[Becky2005]

Yes that is a pillow panel from wally world! I tried piecing a princess face together, and all I can say is . Not something that I want to do again!

I absolutely love your new creation & I had to about piecing together your princess. Let's just say I tried to do a Jafar and well -- umm...No. I ended up just spending $40 on iron-ons that I found umm *I guess we are calling it Voldemart? I so don't know anything about Harry Potter!* there were a bunch of different Villians, so I did it that way.

Although, after reading more I could probably do a better Villian -- DD has just confiscated Jafar and in her bizarre goofy way since my mom gave us a tape of the Aladdin music, she just makes Jafar dance & sing in the car (i.e. he kind of turned into a fabric puppet) but definitely NOT something that will be added to any outfit. The good side is the first time she saw it she DID recognize it as Jafar!

To change gears but sort of on the same concept -- I was in JoAnn's a while ago & saw fabric you can put in your printer & print pictures out on it, etc... Basically making your own fabric panel -- Has anyone used that? I was thinking that would be the best way to go for someone like me. It's not quite the same as an iron as it's already on the fabric, you can just sew it on. I think the idea is the same though, where you could print out a picture. I just wasn't sure if it would work. DD & I are contemplating doing something unique with Ariel in that we found a family picture (i.e. Eric, Ariel, Melody) and thought we would incorporate something like that. Obviously finding anything to do with Little Mermaid II is going to be on our own, so I was thinking of if I could print it out onto the fabric I saw and then just stitch the outlines or something. Do you all think that would work?

Someone asked to see the Asian inspired fabric Heather and I got in the dollar section of Walmart yesterday, so here it is:

And, a close up of one of the little symbols:

 

[tadamom]

BTW Tom, are you using a pattern for your dresses? If so, will you share which one? I am fixing to start some fall clothes for my DD and would like to do that particular style but can't find a pattern I like.

Next are my jazzed up wallyworld dress and kmart overalls that I turned into a dress---they are not completely done as I need to do finishing toches.

This is so cute! This sounds strange, but we just finished the appliques on a 2 piece set that's SO similar to your DD's - it has the Minnie with the hat and flower and "I love Minnie" on the bottom yellow band! I think I must have hijacked the idea from eBay. I'll have to post pics when it's all complete, but I was shocked when I saw your pic because it looks a lot like DDs outfit! Too cute!

disneylovin - I'm going to do a nemo applique and I'm thinking of ideas. Do you have a close up of your shirt? I might want to "case" it.

I zoomed in on the top. I took the blue dot fabric and appliqued Nemo and Dory on it. I then took the trim on the skirt from walmart and disassembled and reattched to form a border. Sorry the pic is not the best let me know if you need a better one. Feel free to case away.

Great minds think alike!

I love that trim!
Hmm. I wonder what I could do that's similar?
I'll have to think on it.
Cuz sewing in a straight line for long enough to get a good satin stitch is probably not gonna happen for me.
We'll see.

I'm right there with you. We leave in 3 weeks too and I'm still reading these pages. My problem though is I don't even have a sewing machine! But I've been inspired by disneylovinfamily and am attempting a hand sewn creation for AK. If it turns out decent, I'll post pictures otherwise you'll just have to imagine it in your heads.
