Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 4

[teresajoy]

I got my model to cooperate, somewhat. So, here's what I've been working on for the last week or 2 (I can't figure out how some of you whip them up so quickly)!

I know I've commented allready, but Lydia wanted to say something.

"That's Tessa! She is in her new outfit. It has a dress and pants, it, is, just, TOO CUTE!"

(commas becasue she paused for the dramatic effect between each word!)

I haven't been to a doctor about this, but....I think that I have sewing ADHD! I have so many different projects going on right now and I just jump from one to the other when I feel the urge! Anyway....I would like to finish up my DDs Epcot outfit and need to applique the faces onto her pant legs. I have heard story of people "undoing" pant legs? Would anyone be willing to walk me through this step by undoing step?

Thanks Heather and Teresa for the advice for the curved skirt!!! I just might get up the guts to try it!

 

[Astro Orbiter]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

I sewed it and it's (almost) as good as new! Whoohoo!

Now, does anyone think the skirt needs some type of trim?

Personally, I think it could use a black border at the bottom of the skirt. You've tied the skirt to the top with the Mickey heads, now tie the top to the bottom by bringing the black from the top to the skirt.

I wanted to tell you how cute your little girl is. My niece was also born very early. Only 22 weeks gestation! God does work miracles!!!!!!!!

Ok so here is my First creation not anything fancy, just used left over patches from a quilt. I have already started making another one with smaller patches as the patches are pretty big- like 6"x6" big- but it didn't take to long!! Kinda like riding a bike you never really forget- it just takes a little practice to get going good

So I think it at least looks like a skirt- We'll see how the smaller patches look- I'm gonna have to try that gathering technique with bast stitching and pulling the threads, it's sounds like the easiest way to gather- unless any one has better ideas?!?!?!?!?

 

[my*2*angels]

Can someone please tell me how to post pictures? I am soooo clueless!

THANK YOU!!!! and yes HE does!! Wow, 22 weeks! I hope she's doing good. We're dealing with a physical and speech delay but not too much else.
Thanks again!!

I don't know if this is the "right" way or even the easy way- but this is what I do- I upload the picture to shutterfly then I right click on the picture and a drop down menu says copy address, then on the posting page there is a little mountain click on that, then paste the address. I always preveiw it to make sure it shows up right. I know alot of people use photobucket but I haven't set up one of those accounts yet so I just use my shutterfly- seems to be working so far.

ok 1 more post then it's off to bed. I got the 2nd skirt sewed together and the elastic put in I pinned the sides so I can try it on DD in the morning then I will take a couple pics. Looks cute- so small though but I guess it shouldn't be to big she is only 14 mo. old !!!! Now I will have to think of some thing to do to embellish it- maybe dare I say an applique We'll see- Guess I have to make a trip to JoAnns- Darn!! It is very Fallish- yellow, red and orange. brown would have been good too but I just used what I had. Ok time for bed......

I think you are absolutely correct. THANKS! Off to Joann's for me!

How sad is it that we leave for Disney in 20 days and I haven't even thought about their outfits...LOL...I need to get on it. I'm sure they have something lying around that I can put on them...LOL

Hmmm, they might have something lying around!!

Anyway....I would like to finish up my DDs Epcot outfit and need to applique the faces onto her pant legs. I have heard story of people "undoing" pant legs? Would anyone be willing to walk me through this step by undoing step?

It's very simple... I usually do the inside seam, or whichever one isn't double stitched on the outside. Just take your seam ripper and gently rip the threads and keep opening the seam until you get it to where you are able to fit your applique under your machine. Then when you're done, just turn inside out and stitch it back up. Lots of us have done this, so feel free to ask if you get stuck somewhere!

She's a cutie! I use the basting stitch, and I only need one instead of two that everyone suggests. Just make sure you use strong thread, cause if it breaks you're up a creek! I actually used elastic thread a couple of days ago and I like working with it. But, I hated taking out all the basting stitches when I was done. I usually just stitch one basting stitch, gather, then sew over top of my basting stitches so I don't have to remove them. Good luck! And remember, practice makes perfect! Well, in my case near-perfect!

She came up with that design! Yay her! I like that!

I cut some more of my Minnie dot last night and I could have sworn I heard some little blue train chanting... "I think you can, I think you can" It was weird! BTW, I'm making dd2 a pair of pants, so wish me luck!

Question: I made a shirt for dd8 and it's from one of the That's So Raven patterns. I need to insert a panel, because you know how they think all of our kids need to show cleavage! Well, we don't like it and I don't know how to do a panel. Suggestions?

 

[tnmom25]

I wanted to point out that my ticker just went from "2 months" down to "1 month 4 weeks & 1 day"!!!!! I'm too excited! Now to get busy sewing!! I still have to make:
MVMCP outfits for dd7 & dd8
Shirts for me
Nemo & World Showcase outfits for dd2 & dgd2
Halloween skirts for dd8 & dgd2
Ariel outfit for dd8's penpal in England
Minnie dot pants for dd2 & dgd2 & shirts to match

Lots to do!

 

[tnmom25]

I agree, I think black around the bottom would really be cute! I'd do the binding, and not a ruffle. Good job and hope you get the hole taken care of, that's one of my big fears when clipping threads!

Yeah on cutting the Minnie Dot!!! WOOHOO!!! I still haven't cut mine!

When I did Arminda's Pooh Toille shirt, I made a modesty panel. I just measured across how wide it would need to be at the top and bottom and then how long I wanted it. Then I did a hem all the way around, and top stitched it to the shirt. Hmmm, hope that makes sense! I don't explain things real well!

ETA:
And, just because I'm trying to help you out, and not because I'm trying to show off how stinking cute Arminda is, here is a picture! The part in the middle there is what I added. I CASED this shirt, so there is another shirt in the bookmarks from this pattern, in this fabric without the panel. It doesn't look like it fell as low on that little girl as it did Arminda. At the moment my memory is failing me as to who posted that one first!
