Cute, I am sure your Niece will love them! Now, I have the Dora song in my head, thanks!
These are the overalls for Sam and Kiley.
I finally finished the Baby Simba dress for Tessa!! The dress pattern was fairly easy, but the applique gave me some fits (the white fabric kept unraveling as I sewed it onto the brown fabric). It's not perfect, but she loves it and so do I! The dress was really big (mu-mu-ish) on the top, so I shirred the back to make it fit a little better. I also skipped the zipper in the pattern because it really didn't need it. Here it is!
Now I need to catch up on your wonderful creations.
Oh, no, do you live near Indianapolis? You could bring it over to my house.
I would give it a good home!Cute! I wish I'd seen something like that when DD was in diapers. I'm definitely keeping the idea for shower gifts, though.My question for you is how did you sew on the hook & loop tape? I always seem to have my thread break, bunch or just can't seem to get my machine to work with it and sewing by hand is not something I do if I can avoid it.
I can tell your a e-bayer. Don't they say VERO instead of Velcro?
LOL I didn't think of that...I said it too! Oh well Velcro® should be happy with the free advertising.Hey...You CAN say Velcro on this board.....
preparing for this stupid sale!
I come here every night to admire all the wonderful work you all do and sometimes to secretly wish my newly turned sixteen year old daughter were still little and I were creating beautiful Disney fashions for her.They grow up much too quickly.
Today, I spent 3 hours ironing the seven layers of net under the skirt of her cotillion dress for Saturday night. No, I didn't make it, my sewing talents never extended that far. It does hang much prettier after a good pressing.
Here is my daughter, she sometimes posts here as The Dark Dancer, mostly on the teen board.
Here is a picture from her Sweet 16 party in July
And here is the dress
The trim
and the skirt
So enjoy them while they are small. it goes by so quickly. Thanks you all for sharing your work. I am sure I am just one of many who admire them all.

) without doing the "A" word, do I REALLY need to learn now?
Wow Aimee what a great trip and loverly purchases. Actually it brought back memories. I used to work at a bridal store and we went into NYC to the bridal district to buy dresses. I remember going nuts as we passed fabric stores. I go weak in the knees in the presence of bridal fabric and aloncon lace!
Really I can't believe you got out of there $108 lighter. Great job!! Thanks again for sneaking in the pics! 
Lori - Terrific job on the dress and hairbows! Your girls are adorable and I know they feel so special.
Mommy's love goes a long way!Great job! I love the outfits!
Angela/Ollie Girl Welcome and we can't wait to see your pics! (and copy your pics
)Virual Window Shopping I call it....I can't tell you how many times I have done this!!!
Does the stablizer iron on???? Thanks!Geez, I can't even spell it!
1. When attempting to do the "A" word, it is NOT the time to try a new type of thread.
2.Just because the manual says the machine can to the stitch does NOT mean the machine operator can
3. When attempting to do the "A" word it is not necessary to buy YARDS of fabric for a small character.
4.When all else fails open a diet pepsi and read the disboards for a bit
5. It is not necessary to be able to do ALL types of sewing. I have lived all these years(ok not THAT many years
6.See #4
ok I feel better now- time for round 2...........
Hey...You CAN say Velcro on this board.....
I say tissues instead of Kleenex and bandages instead of Band-Aids when I'm referring to a general type of product and not the specific brand. I know, I'm odd. 
Ok, I bought some of this for several reasons (hairbows, rhinestones, etc.) and I'm scared to use it. Reading the package it says to use in "well ventilated" area. Does that mean I should use it outside, is it going to fill my house with toxic fumes? And I think I remember Lisa making a comment about it sticking to your fingers! I'd appreciate any tips and experiences with this stuff!
Great minds think alike!
I have the ladybug fabric, I made DD an outfit for an Easter Egg party-Did you also get the matching print?
I LOVE that fabric!
My Trip to NYC-
I am going to leave out all the drama. (Missing train, DD crying a lot, MIL complaining a lot, sunburnt lips, and really sore feet.) The garment district is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My MIL and her sis went to Grease. Hannah and I went to the World of Disney and ribbon shopping. It was a beautiful day and we had a blast. Hannah picked out the Sleeping Beauty gown and managed to get the purse, gloves and cape too. I still do not know how she swung that????
We had two hours to go ribbon shopping. The first shop we went to was called So Good. And it was SO GOOD! OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! I fell in love. I do not have pics but it is a hole in the wall with nothing but fantastic ribbon. (I will take pic of my new ribbon later.) He was so generous with the yardage. He said normally he give a least a yard over. (He may have been flurting with me know that I think about it.) He gave Hannah free yellow velvet ribbon and extra red polka dot ribbon. My total came to $67 and he just said $60. I handed him the cash and we were on our way.
Next we went to Tinsel Town Traders. They have been featured in ME Home Comp mag and Martha. They are vintage fab! I could have spent two hours just in there. We ended up buying only a vintage flower. I am going to make a pink for a sundress out of it. They had fabric that was vintage French gorgeous fabric for $200 a yard!
You could not really take photos but I snuck a flower wall pic.
Next we went to MJ Trims. This was a floor to ceiling warehouse of trim and ribbon. Some of it was great some was really expensive! I actually bought one yard of ribbon for $11. Very cool place. I do not know how I will ever go back to Jo Ann's or gasp Wal Mart!!!
As we were walking I noticed the Atlas. That is where everyone from Project Runway lives. We took a pic.
Next we went to Mood. That is where everyone on Project Runway shops. Two floors! For NY designer fabric I expected to be more expensive. The cheap stuff was $14 a yard and the average was $30 a yard. Hannah was pretty much spent by Mood so we searched only one floor to find polka dots. It was cool because in Mood I was treated like a designer. Everyone buying fabric were clothing designers. The girl who cut our dots thought my three year old picked a very sheik fabric. Only in NYC can you have a fashionista at three. Since it is designer fabric we only needed half a yard so my total was $5!!! Woo Hoo.
Here is my sneaky picture.
As we were leaving I spotted on little store. We had about five minutes so we ran in and I found the best Epcot ribbon ever. I have to take photos to show everyone.
