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.

I was there buying fabric for a blanket I'm planning on making. Our Joanns hardly has any princess fabric. It's all flannel. Do you think that will be ok for a blanket? Flannel?
Hey Disney4Me,
I love the winter Mickey fabric...I'll have to check out JoAnn'sWere you looking for princess fleece or regular cotton? My JoAnn's had tons of princess fleece...PM me if you want me to hook you up.

I'm a quilter, I like patchwork.

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.

Your eye for color and matching trims is absolutely amazing, especially since you claim to have only started sewing a few months ago....

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

Thanks for the offer. I'm always looking for regular cotton princess fabric. Our JoAnn's only has flannel. I'm wanting to make a patchwork-type blanket similar to some posted recently. I was hoping to use cotton, but had to go with flannel. I'm thinking of doing a plain flannel bottom, batting middle, flannel patchwork top and wanted to know if that would work, using flannel. I've never done a blanket. As always, I have no pattern to follow. Just make it up as I go along. But I don't want to start this blanket if flannel isn't the way to go.
Our JoAnn's does have princess fleece, which I also might buy and just sew the edges, maybe use a satin-type binding, to create blankets. I'm thinking those would be similar to the ones at DisneyShopping.com. Quick and easy. My kids are always complaining they are cold so we can use more blankets.
So, to finally getting around to answering your question, I don't need any fleece, but thank you for asking.

You can definitely use flannel for the blankets. You could make a rag-quilt with the flannel, then you don't have to bind the edges, since you want them to have the fray look. If you want to see of pic of this let me know and I'll post one, not Disney though. Rag-quilts are easy to make, just some patience to cut all the edges to make it fray.
Is this in Minnies house in Toontown? I will definately try to get there and take a picture of DD.
Cute outfits, and neat picture!Have to share.... You all have been making fabulous outfits lately..... love them all!!!
I was away for a while but I'm back.
here is my lovely kids in front of our walk! We finally bought a space to call our very own at the Universiy of AZ. This is infront of Mckale Center where they play basketball! It just got placed a few weeks ago finally. we live 2 hours north so it was our first time seeing it!
I of course had to make the girls outfits to support the school and football team which one there home opener! WOO HOO!

You could come over my way, we have an amusement park of sorts here w/ an underwater theatre w/ real live mermaids. DH and I always tell ppl we live in the coolest place there are no less than 6 close-to life size dinosaurs (don't ask me why, they're all in various locations around the county and range from one that holds a mechanic's garage inside of it to an unfinished giant topiary-the guy died before it was done.) and we have real mermaids. How freakin' cool.

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.

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.

Stephres-

Everybody else...yours are great, too!
Can't wait to see it!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!
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!
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.
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!

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.
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!

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.

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.

LOL Trust me when I say I've been called that more than a few times in my lifeMy first name is Tara after the plantation in Gone With the Wind (my sister is Ashley, also from Gone With the Wind). My middle name is Zandra but I use it almost exclusively now and have for the last 14 years. So my username is always my first and middle name because I know it won't be taken on any site!
Is this in Minnies house in Toontown? I will definately try to get there and take a picture of DD.

(I have some pictures of our last trip there, I should find them and amuse everyone with my ultimate 14 year old coolness! My Dad scuba dived in their few years ago, Mom took a video of it, it's pertty cool. (Did you see my previous post about practicing to be a mermaid??)
It's there, under tops, it's listed as LisaZoes Corset directions. The faux lacing directions are in the embellishments sections.
