Yes, let's! My mom e-mailed me and she said she didn't use a pattern for the tail. I guess I didn't realize that! I guess she just drew it out and made it. I do know there is stiff stuff in the bottom of the tail so she can flap it around. The pattern for the top is McCalls 4818.
Love the Mike costume and I am laughing thinking about an 18 month old toddling around in it. It will be so cute!
I know Heather would love to meet you guys too! We are going to have to plan something! Thanks for checking with your Mom about the pattern!
While I was reading the posts, my husband said, "Who is that little boy next to Lydia?" He was looking at YOUR avatar!!! No wonder I think Megan is SUCH a cutie!!!
Ok, I know you all are sick of seeing her, but I finally got the cranky one to go get some more thread with me and I finished her outfit. Now that we have a proper custom Florida State outfit I am sure we will do much better than last week! This is totally cased from CastleCreation's cute froggy outfit, which I have been wanting to copy since I saw it. I hope this does it justice:
And here is a close up of the appliqué:
psych! Who do you think I am: Tom? It looks ok from a little distance, and that's all I am saying!
Oh, I forgot to say that when I told her it was finished, Megan said, "Let me try it on and you go get the camera to take some pictures for Nanny and our friends." How's that for trained?
You could NEVER post too many pictures of Megan!! Sucah a cutie pie! I love this outfit! Great job on it!
And, I love teh psych! My husband is always saying that!
And, Megan is so sweet for wanting to share the outfit with us right away!!
The short answer is July.
My Mom sewed all her clothes in high school. She graduated in 1971. She sewed for our home- curtains, pillows, a slip cover.
I made some curtains in high school. I also made handbags in college. Nothing fancy but I had fun making them. In March I started making clothes for my DD AG doll Kit. I made a Alice Costume in June for WDW. It was a hit in the park and I was so proud of myself.
When we got home I thought it would be fun to make Belle's blue dress. That is when I found this thread in July. I am hooked to say the least!
WOW! You have skills!
My latest -- just need to hem it up to finish it creation. Nothing fancy!!!
I wanted to combine CARS and Thomas for my little guy's birthday in October.
Here is the shirt -- I just didn't feel like doing the hems yet (the sleeves are a *bit* long on him but since his birthday is toward the *end* of October I'm afraid to hem it up too much at the moment).
.
This is really cute!
Okay, I have the patience of a 4 year old sometimes. About 30 minutes ago I asked about painting shoes and decided I was just going to use what was here and see what happened, so here they are. They are drying. Then I need to do his face, maybe with a sharpie?
I learned alot, like don't paint the other side while the first is wet and forget and stick your finger in it! And don't add something on that you didn't try. I did it on fabric first, never once putting fingers on the hands, then decided to add them, well I don't like them on any corner!
I just used some white acrylic paint I had here, so once it dries I'll see how they are. The shoe itself is pretty stiff so hopefully they'll hold for the
MNSSHP and the pumpkin patch here and then christmas maybe!
Thanks for all your help. I guess
walmart was not the place to be looking for fabric paint! I never thought of a fabric paint marker.
You are funny! These turned out really cute! There is a tutorial for painting shoes in the bookmarks. I haven't tried it myself though.
Ok I have given up on trying to get caught up. (I am still not caught up on the 23 pages from labor day now I am 11 more pages behind)
I skimmed some pictures, Tom the sailor set is adorable!
Teresajoy, mouse ear clippys are $6.50.
I spent the morning at a Doodlebop concert
and saw no customs
My DD wore her DeeDee Doodle last year, but I never had time to make one this year
. My DD did tell me she would like a new dress for NEXT year LOL.
Thanks for checking for me!!!!
Are Doodlebops as scarry in real life as they are on TV?
I just got back from Joann's and found this cute fabric. I bought 4 yards and don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. In the pic, it looks greenish, but it's blue.
That is really cute fabric!
Very nice! Great job! I like the letters wonky too! Much easier that way!
All I could do was laugh when I saw your reference to me! Or was that of Teresa's old refrigerator?!
Dreadful pictures of Kirsta. But here is her Tinkerbelle outfit. I think I should shorten the skirt so you can see the net. But that may have to come later as I've still tons of stuff to do. I was origionally attach the petals, but decided that I should have 2 looks. So I put the petals on a waistband. I used a purchased tank top.
This is SOOOOO cute!!! I love it!!! I want to try an Ariel inspired petal skirt. I have SO many things I want to do, I should get busy on them!
Great job!!!
I have been reading your name wrong! I kept reading TARZANdra! I thought you just really liked Tarzan! DUH!
I totally CASEd this from several of you, so I hope that's ok! I'm so excited, because it was my first time cutting into my Minnie dot. Ok, it was the Walmart knockoff, but still I swear I could hear the theme for JAWS as I was cutting it!
This is really cute!! Great job!
Not quite sure which picture I had on there last but thanks!! I have already shared the pic of her preschool dress but here she is on her very first day (Thursday).
With her cousin Catherine on their 1st day of preschool.
FYI...ever since the day I finished this dress, she has had to wear it EVERYDAY. She wore this dress 8 days straight (I had to sneak and wash it several times)!!!!! She looooooves it that much! I'm about finished with another one so people will know she owns different clothes!
Aww, they are so cute!!
Thanks for your kind words, Teresa! I didn't cry, actually. I was so stinkin' proud of her I just grinned from ear to ear. I took pics of them measuring her hair and then of the first cut and, of course, of my Tabitha holding up her cut-off pony tail. We went to a kids' salon and they have a Locks of Love bulletin board and take their own before and after pics to put up on the board for all to see. I thought that was pretty neat.
That is pretty neat! They didn't have anything special when Arminda did it. They weren't even going to measure it before they cut, but I insisted they get out a ruler or something! I didn't want them cutting anymore than they had to!
Just wanted to share pictures of the painted Cinderella overalls I won last year on Voldemort for 20 bucks. They are faded in spots, but still cute. I think I will re do the ruffle at the bottom to make them look newer as well.
The top front
Those are adorable! I like the idea of putting on the ruffle to new them up!
Good morning! I stayed up entirely too late (with the aid of a little cherry coke zero) to finish this little AK outfitfor DD.
The trim at the bottom is a kind of taffeta fabric I think with raised, velvety feeling stripes. It's very cool - I found it in the remnants at JoAnn a while back and had to have it!
Hehe, I was going to ask what kind of fabric that was at the bottom! How did you know? I love that! I am very partial to animal prints, becasue Lydia LOVES them! Which reminds me, that's another outfit I need to make!!
But, we don't leave until May, so I have some time!
And, I didn't know they made CHERRY Coke Zero!!!!!! Thanks for the hedsup on that one!
Real quick her is the mermaid costume. We leave in 26 minutes so I gotta run!
OH MY GOSH!!!! Would you STOP allready! This is amazing!!! You are so good at putting together fabrics and trims!!! It takes me FOREVER to figure out what to use for any given outfit! I can't wait to see Hannah in it!
