No willing model , but here is my outfit from... well you know. I think I am going to make a red peasant top to match using the red (Bottom ruffle) fabric, but wouldn't you know it, not enough fabric!! I have to get more anyway for DN's set. I even made covered buttons!
Okay, I have been sewing like mad, and here is my creation!
What do you think? You guys have given me such great ideas! I am going to start on my other daughter's dress now. I got a black and white polka dot material, and I am going to accent with red. I love this topic!
Alright here is the double layer twirl skirt that I made to match the lime green mickey head tee. I didn't use a pattern so I think it may be a little too twirly but oh well.
TSNCS.. I just wanted to say that not everyone here knows it but I am a Tiffany with an I too, but I have only 1 F.
Dorky, right?But you don't meet many Tiffanys.
...t.
Which, as a kid, drove me crazy! You don't see many Tiffani's around, though. 
GO PACKERS
I think I've seen it at WalmartSo, I have to ask! Where have you guys found the adorable green/purple polka dot fabric to go with the previous Tink and this Monsters outfit???
I haven't found it and I haven't been able to find anything that matches the Monsters fabric yet. My youngest DDs favorite characters are Tink and Boo from Monsters, so I found the Monsters fabric on eBay, but I can't find anything that goes with it.
Thanks tons...
I loved your Turkey outfit, it gave me some motivation to get started on mine!! (And it seems to be doing good over on Voldemort...are we still using that code word?!)
I've started DD's Turkey outfit. The first one is for my neice. The top is done - it's a little longer without the ruffle, and the turkey applique is done. I like DD's set even better! I used the brighter red (the ruffle on the jeans) and a darker pair of jeans. The colors really pop on the new set. Got a question for everyone, Should I do the applique like the first set using the turkey fabric, of using different fabrics. (like the tailfeathers) Here's a pic. as a reminder.
I loved that ice cream dress too. It started my mad hunt for ice cream fabric a few months ago.Thanks for posting those. I thought I remembered her and this helped. I loved that ice cream dress. What a terrible tragedy. A mom's worst nightmare.
WOOHOO
from this site. The outift threw me (Castle did your little one wear that outfit in the pictures you posted before?) for a minute but I recognized the ponytails!
Our girls became fast friends as they watched the Elmo Halloween show.

Beautiful job, I love it!

My thoughts and prayers are with their family. I read the post and it looks like the other driver ran a red light. I can only imagine how they feel and if it was me, my rage at that. On the other hand it appears the other driver was only 18 and I can only imagine what the rest of his life will be like. As a former teacher of high school/middle school I know how crazy kids are at that age but they would never want that to happen and often cannot imagine that it would happen. My prayers are with him also. Just thinking about something happening to my DD's makes me crazy and I pray for the family's strength. WOW lots of choices at sewzennes. I am going to have to shop that one. I got a Burda pattern that is for stretch knits only and it had leggings which I want to make for Makayla. Only way she will be able to wear any of the things I have planned for her this winter. Thanks a million! I know what you mean about tee's. Nothing fits her in a teeshirt...I love to custom make everytrhing to fit her just "so".
Love that Zoe...what a pretty kid...she is growing up so fast...it doesn't take long, unfortunately. Both of you are so blessed. I get teary eyed every time I see the two of you. Adoption is so wonderful.Susan
Okay, get ready for lots of (large) pictures! This week I made these skirts for DDs. They are the YCMT double layer twirl skirt. They were actually very easy. I sort of had to wing it on DDs because she is a size 10 but the pattern was not difficult--no pattern pieces to print or tape, just lots of math. In hindsight I may have made the stripwork layer a little longer, but overall I'm happy with how they turned out. I made one for DD2 and DD10 said "I want one!" so I just made hers a little less full (actually other than the dropwaist panel the skirts are the same width.) I am very fortunate to have a DD10 that still loves the girly "frou-frou" stuff. In fact, my Dniece, who is a very stylish and beautiful 19-year-old saw the skirts today and said she wanted me to make one for her too
Looking for "birdies" with her pirate telescope:
The Minnie shoes that she won't really get to wear with this outfit because they are about 2 sizes too big but I had to buy them anyway because they were only $8 at Disney shopping.com (hard to find, somewhere in costume accessories). But hey, it's an excuse to plan another Disney trip when they do fit!
And finally, after much practice, appliqueing is actually getting easier! Not that I'm good at it but I'm just thrilled that I'm getting better. I've finally figured out that it works much better to go SLOW! I do still get a little fabric fray on the edges where I get a little close with the outside edge of my stitch.
Alright here is the double layer twirl skirt that I made to match the lime green mickey head tee. I didn't use a pattern so I think it may be a little too twirly but oh well. I hate to pay for something that I think I can figure out for myself.The girls like them and I got a cool from a friend that was over so I guess they'll work.
