I know I showed you all a few pictures of these outfits in progress - but I thought I would show some of the finished product. Thanks for looking!

 

[Camping Griswalds]

Thanks but I hate to say it was not a marathon. Total I think I spent about six hours on the costume. I was rushed so it is not technically perfect. I cut a lot of corners but it got the job done.

Hannah won the Grand Prize! I was stunned. There was a really cute pirate. He had a great shot.

Yeah Hannah!!!!!!!

This is Alexis's Halloween costume. She finally decided on being Raggedy Ann!

Lisa, I so want my little one to be Raggedy Ann this Halloween!!!! I love yours! It's as beautiful as the one on Voldemort that has a reserve or 300.00. GASP HORROR

I made this last night.

So cute! I love that movie!

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:

We are NEVER sick of seeing your adorable daughter - or your beautiful creations!

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).

Cute - I bet DS LOVES it!

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?

LOL - I would have done the same thing. You did a great job.

Well I got the fabric and supplies to make DD's Alice costume today.
Also, I got the fabric ans supplies to make DW's and my Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum costumes. I have never done anything adult sized. We shall see how this goes! It should be easier though, no "little" parts and pieces to stitch together!

Geesh!, How much time before we leave? I don't think I will ever get it all done. Too bad I can't call in sick to work for 2 weeks, and then take my week of vacation!

I am feeling the crunch here too - we leave on Thursday - and I have several things floating in my mind still! Can't wait to see Tweedle Dee and Dum!

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.

Very Cute! Looks like loves it too!

I haven't read since last night but I absolutely had to share that I just finished my first applique! I am quite pleased with it and think it went well, other than the detail straight stitches. I kept the shape simple, which helped. I used all the tips I've read here and used bobbin thread, heat n' bond lite, and sulky, tear-away stabilizer. I did not use a pressing sheet because neither Joann's I went to seemed to carry it so I guess I'll order it. Anyway, here's the applique, I'll share the full dress later when I have a model for it. Although I like it, do any of you pros see something wrong that I need to do different next time?

Oh MY GOSH! You did an amazing job! I just did my first try at a satin stitch today (the Hannah top I posted - I did the heart) on a T shirt. It was so frustrating! The T kept stretching and messing up the stitches. I did all the things you did - with the exception of the embroidery thread. I am wondering if the presser foot it too "tight" to the feeding teeth. It turned out Ok - but looks nothing like yours. I am so impressed!

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!

I finished my Christmas outfit for Emma. Thanks to all of you for your input. I went out and bought all the good stuff for appliquing onto Tshirts and it worked like a dream!

Love the Minnie dress! The applique and flowers are perfect!

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!

How sweet is that!

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

How adorable - I can't believe you got those for $20!

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!

That is so adorable - I love all the animal prints!

Real quick her is the mermaid costume. We leave in 26 minutes so I gotta run!

Beautiful!!!

Guess what!!!!!!!

I just applied to be on an official MOM's Panel for Disney!!!!!!

It involves a FREE trip for 4 (ooops).

Lori

Your children are adorable - and so are the outfits!

This is Alexis's Halloween costume. She finally decided on being Raggedy Ann!

Awesome job! So - one down, one to go???

Well, since I'm still pinning on skirt ruffle and I swore I'd have this done 2 weekends ago, I thought I'd share the AK bodice w/ my FIRST EVER applique. It's not great. Heck it's not even that good, but she's wearin' it anyway darn it. I have to add a polkadot ribbon to the minnie head. the polkadot fabric is on the skirt ruffle too. Keep in mind that I scanned this into the computer so the fabric looks a little weird.

...t.

Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product!

 

[FSUDisneyGirl]

Stephres-

I love your Seminole outfit!!!!!!

GO NOLES!!!


Everybody else...yours are great, too!

Love them! Love how the Hannah turned out!

 

[karrierock]

Hi all! Just back from the World, still unpacking dirty clothes I just hate coming back to reality!! I can't wait to upload all the pics!!!!!!!!! How do you all wash appliqued clothes that has some hand work done? Inside out? Hand wash? Gentle cycle? All by themselves? I do have a front loading machine? All the above? I just don't want to mess anything up?

Oh, these kids are so cute I just want to pinch their cheeks! I love the outfits, I really like that style of skirt. Sigh, another pattern I must go buy!

This is Alexis's Halloween costume. She finally decided on being Raggedy Ann!

That is adorable! So much nicer than the one I got Megan from the party store when she was 2. If only I had met you guys earlier!

Sorry about the football thing, raised and bred Seminole fan I'm afraid. I would have to say that their colors are so much more prettier than the Gators' orange and blue (but of course, what can you expect from a girls' school?).

I love the start on the bodice: I think it looks really good. Let me know if you need more animal print; I don't need much of an excuse to go back to that quilt shop!

I know I showed you all a few pictures of these outfits in progress - but I thought I would show some of the finished product. Thanks for looking!

Are those yellow mickey head buttons I see? Those are totally cute and I love the way the Hannah Montana one came out. I bet she'll never want to take it off!

Ok, here is how silly I am. I had all those leftovers from Megan's FSU outfit so I decided to make myself a skirt. I took some old jeans that were a little tight in the butt and cut them off. It looks pretty silly, but I'll post pictures anyway when I'm done so ya'll can laugh at me.

[tnmom25]

Both of these turned out great! The basic t-shirt is so pretty with the lace...did you do that too?

The tshirt is from Walmart and the lace was already on there.

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.

Those are beautiful! Make sure you post pics of the renewed version!

Very pretty! I wish I hadn't already made capris sets for AK, I'm dying to make one of the Minnie dot dresses w/the animal prints! Oh well, next trip!

Very pretty! for Hannah!

I'd vote for you!

They look very cute Lori! Good job!

This is Alexis's Halloween costume. She finally decided on being Raggedy Ann!

I started to ask a stupid question... did you make it Of course you did! Excellent job!

...t.

Can't wait to see the finished product! The applique looks fine, don't give up!

Those are cute. I think the HM top turned out very nice, is that the one you dyed?

 

[stepmom3]

Does anyone have the link for the Corset top instructions that LisaZoe gave? I quickly searched through the bookmarks at the beginning and did not see it. Thanks!
Jill

 

[Jajone]

Thanks so much - the bodice is McCall's M5370, but I lengthened it a bit to allow for a Mickey Head. The skirt is just strips about 4 inches wide.



Thanks!! The giraffe print is from Hobby Lobby, but I did buy it a few months ago.



How cute are they? Great job on the outfits! I promised DH that the next thing I make would be Green Bay outfits for the kidlets. I'll have to start on those soon!

Glorib where are you from? GO PACKERS! They actually won today! If you need help finding fabric for the outfits let me know, it's all over in Green Bay. We even have Packer jibbitz in the store.

 

[Krispy]

Actually, my parents live in Tallahassee and I have been bugging my mom for months about fabric and she says there is none there either. I don't know why you can get every other college except FSU: it's so annoying. I spent $12 on the seminole head fabric from Voldemort, so this outfit was probably more expensive than those overpriced cheerleading outfits they sell, but I think it was worth it.

I'd tell you why fabric is in such short supply but my Hurricanes didn't do so well against the Sooners - So I won't! My husband who is an FSU fan thought the outfit was ADORABLE !

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!

HOW CUTE!!! I love it!

Real quick her is the mermaid costume. We leave in 26 minutes so I gotta run!

Thats really cute - I wish Coke Zero did that to me!

Thanks but I hate to say it was not a marathon. Total I think I spent about six hours on the costume. I was rushed so it is not technically perfect. I cut a lot of corners but it got the job done.

Hannah won the Grand Prize! I was stunned. There was a really cute pirate. He had a great shot.

Congrats to Hannah!

 

[CastleCreations]

Thanks everyone for your compliments. but I didn't make the Raggedy ann, bought it at the party store for 25 dollars. LOL...I couldn't even buy the trim for that much. She loves it and it's a size 2, ahem, did I mention that she's a size 5. She has to suck in all of the air in her head to get it on...
Poor thing...but she really wanted it.

Dont forget to get this pic of our kiddie with their customs with Minnies sewing machine

Here is my DD modeling her halloween outfit for out Royal Caribbean Cruise. It's for dinner before she changes into her costume (which she hasn't decided on) this isn't done yet - I have to add straps (I pinned the elastic to it tonight) and hem the skirt... oh yeah and add ruffles to some khakis for her.

Please excuse the dora pj shirt and striped pj pants - this is what she chose!

Making sure we have the twirl factor

A princess courtsey as she called it....

And for good measure you're daily dose of cuteness.... my 17 month old has figured out how to climb on chairs... this is where I found him!

 

[Astro Orbiter]

We're off to the World for a short weekend in 12 days! DD5 think's we'll never get there!

Skirts are done, need to decide on the tops:

I'm a quilter, I like patchwork. She likes long skirts (this goes to mid-shin). We like the red top with it, so I need to work with that and ditch the white I was planning on. 2.25 yards of fabric, 1/2 spool of thread, and since this is the second, I'm dying for my gathering foot to come in.

The first skirt. It was the prototype. About 18 fabrics in this one! I mentioned I'm a quilter, right? Well, I made her a quilt for Christmas last year. Pink, as requested. And as I was looking for fabrics to make a demo skirt out of, I decided if I liked them together for a quilt they'd look good in a skirt. How many girls match their bedding completely? And it's been worn every weekend for the past month, so I know I have a hit. It will be worn with either this top or a hot pink tank.

And the last: I'm applique-ing a striped Mickey to the bodice of this. Not so much of a hit, as I've got a girl who likes skirts, and full skirts at that.

That would be a cute photbucket page. All of our kids with Minnies machine! Toooo cute!

A princess courtsey as she called it....

Very cute, nice twirl, perfect courtsey! Your ds might have a calling! His name isn't by any chance Tom or Jeff is it?

 

[kdk1188]

We are going to a Seafood/ Chesapeake Bay Festival this weekend. This is the dress I made for both of my girls. This is the baby's first custom. I am so excited.

I do suggest not learing how to applique with the MD Blue Crab. (They are blue until you steem them. Yummo! Well I don't like them but a lot people do. )

I still have to cut some little threads. I was busy watching Monk and Psych tonight.

Aimee,
This is ADORABLE! I'm a true blue crab loving Maryland girl We almost went to the festival this weekend too, but ended up being lazy and getting take out crab cakes instead!! Hope y'all had a fabulous time.
Kay

 

[luv2go2disney]

WOW Aimee the mermaid outfit is AMAZING!!!!!! OK, I am sure that you are still up and drinking some coke zero So where are the pictures of Hannah in her gorgeous mermaid outfit?!?!?!? Your eye for color and matching trims is absolutely amazing, especially since you claim to have only started sewing a few months ago....
