When you make the two layer twirl skirt (i.e page 1098) is there a measurement for how much the fabric for each layer is gathered? I am wondering if you measure the waist and then make it 1 1/2 times or 2 times that size to gather ?

Has anyone made the three layer twirl skirt with the tulle in the middle or on the bottom layer. Any tips for making this one. I am especially wanting to know any tips on gathering the tulle or sewing the tulle and again, do you 1 1/2, double or triple the measurement? When you use the tulle do you just cut and leave a raw edge along the bottom? I've never sewed with it before. Thanks.
 
I cut into my Minnie Dot fabric once again and made twirl skirts for DD5 and DD4. DD5 has white trim and black rick rack. DD4 has yellow trim and yellow rick rack. It's hard to see, but there's a Minnie bow on each skirt over one area of the rick rack. I haven't made tops yet. I'm thinking long sleeved white tops with the ribbon and Mickey heads that other's have made. But any suggestions are welcome.

I was hoping the bows would be a little less floppy. They are only pinned on so I could remove them when washing. But I might sew them on and then sew the ends down as well so they look better.

I know it's a lot of photos. They don't ALL need to go into the DisBoutique PhotoBucket. :lmao:
 

Someone in the last couple of weeks (I don't remember who, sorry) posted pics of Christmas fabric they had bought including one that was red with white snowflakes. I've been looking for fabric like that & can't find it anywhere, would you mind telling where you got it? Thanks

Might not be what you're talking about, but I found this at Joann, it's red w/gold snowflakes.

As usual, I've been lurking but I just had to say. . . you guys cracky me up!:rotfl2: With all the comments on muffin tops, just because it's your size, using the mirror and keeping "the girls" up, I'm laughing out loud!:rotfl:

And I love that chocolate is in the vegetable food group! Now, I can finally get my 5-a-day!:lmao:

What really made me post today is that the minnie dot fabric, sent by the very generous HeatherSue:love: , arrived today. Now, I need to get those overalls done. These are the ones I am making
100_0773.jpg


Does anyone know who made these or who owns these? It looks like the skirt is sewn all the way around the overalls. Doesn't that make the side snaps useless? Is it hard to get the overalls on/off? Since I'm making these for someone else (my daughter is 18 yrs old-really missed the boat on making her custom disney overalls!), I don't want to make life more difficult for the mom, getting a 1 yr old and 2 yr old in and out of their outfits. So, if you have any ideas or advice, I'm reading almost everyday.

And, HeatherSue and TeresaJoyce (see, I am paying attention), I came across this quote while looking for some scrapbooking inspiration and immediately thought of you two. . . "The Lord made us sisters because He knew we would love each other too much to just be friends."

Also, I am so sorry for the loss of AKSunshine's son, and grateful Susan still has her daughter.

Awwwww - that quote is perfect for those two!

OK - I've had to work the last three nights, so I was WAY behind here, but I'm finally caught up and there have been some AWESOME customs posted the last few days! Love them all! Great job everyone!

On the 2-layer twirl skirt I made, the pattern called for the dropwaist panel to be 33" wide for anything up to size 5 skirt. I believe on DD10 I just used the 44" width of the fabric. The 33" width was somewhere in-between 1 1/2 and 2 times my DD2s waist measurement (which is somewhere around 19" I believe). You could go 1 1/2 or 2 times the width depending on how full you want it. I made a Halloween twirl skirt that was 2x and was very full. On the stripwork layer, both my girls skirts were 36 3" strips (because I used 6 fabrics, if I'd used 4 fabrics I would've done 32 3" strips.) For the underskirt I cut 2 44" (or width of fabric) strips for both the size 2/3 skirt and the size 10 skirt and sewed them together for approximately 88" wide. The little white ruffle on the bottom of the underskirt was 3 44"X3" strips (for a folded over ruffle, if you want a hemmed ruffle you could do more like 2" strips.) And that, in a nutshell is the pattern. Hope it helps. I haven't tried a tulle layer yet.

Ok you people are causing me pain I am laughing so hard!:rotfl: And I think the reason it is sooo funny is because I have had a few of these experiences myself!:rotfl: :rotfl:

It looks great! I love Tink!

Here is the yellow jacket costume for my daughter's school musical. I tried to find the wings at Target but they were all gone. I think this should work and no other kid will get jabbed with wings.;)

ok, so here is Nicholas in his cowboy outfit! Will get the football one on him later! He just woke up and his hair is a little tossled around.

Oh! He is SOOOO adorable!!!! I love it!

I had a similar experience at Old Navy with the super low rise jeans. How low can they really be, right? When I pulled them up and they stopped mid-butt crack, I let out a fairly loud "laugh-yelp". The attendant, who was a teenage male actually knocked on my door and asked if I was all right. :blush:
PPFFFFTTT!!! That's me spitting my water all over after reading your post!! I'm just wondering what he thought might be going on in there, and how he could help! :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl:

My daughter had her 15mo. check up today and I showed the Dr. a little bulge she has in her tummy a couple inches above her belly button- the Dr. said it is a Peri-something hernia and she will have to have it surgically corrected. Surgical- like they have to cut my baby open- what- wait a minute, that's the only way, it won't close on it's own. She says no but it is not an emaergency and I am given a referal to the pediatric surgeon. We won't see him until next friday. I say should we be concerned, we are leaving for disney in about 2 weeks. She says just make sure you see the surgeon before you go. I am hoping he says it will close on it's own, but not very optimistic that this will be the outcome. My poor little girl I just don't know how to prepare for this, no one I have talked to has even heard of this before so I thought I would bring it to you- Have you heard of this type of hernia?? Any advice, tips, experience will be welcomed. I have been so bummed all evening and I still have so much left to do before we leave(both at work and home), but this just took the wind out of my sails. And I'm going to worry for the next 10 days until we see the surgeon. I know it I might be over reacting a little, but they are talking about putting my baby to sleep and cutting her open to fix her and it is freaking me out. Thank you all for your time. I'll let you all know what happens.
 
LUCKY!!!! I love meeting DISers, especially Boutique(e)rs! Cute how they're BFF after a few minutes!

Yay!!! So it's HEALTHY!!!! Like carrot cake! :rolleyes1
A small square of dark chocolate has a soothing effect on me. Like magic.


Funny(sad!) Muffin Top story: I recently accidentally took some ULTRA low rise jeans into a fitting room. WHY they make these in size 16, is beyond me! Anyway I did notice on the tag the SUPER low rise label but decided to try them on anyway. Now, I've had 4 c-sections and am a good 30-40 pounds overweight. I pulled them up up up...but they STOP abruptly WAYYYYYY too low. I managed to button and exhale. OMGosh! I cant SCRATCH that image out of my memory!!!!! IF I were to purchase these jeans, I would not be able to bend more than 15 degrees without showing a 4inch bum crack. NOT to mention the need for a uncomfortable WAX job down there. :hippie: I think I laughed that silent-wheezing-teary-gut-laugh till I hurt. I did buy the mid rise, 1 inch below my belly button jeans like the good Lord intended, but often get a good laugh at the disaster of ultra low rise jeans on this carcass.

I had a pair of the ultra low rise jeans that were my favorites before children but two kids later, NO WAY! They are still in the closet though, maybe I should try them on and take a picture to post just for laughs. It can't be worse than the 80's hair and prom pictures can it? Just joking, there is way in _ _ _ _ I would ever take a picture of that and show it in public! I totally agree, God did not intend for slightly fluffy women to wear things like that. I do wonder who keeps making them though. Twisted sense of humor!

ok, so here is Nicholas in his cowboy outfit! Will get the football one on him later! He just woke up and his hair is a little tossled around.

Such a cutie! What a great Grandma to make so many outfits for him too!

I'm finally getting around to my trip report of Sept. 23-30. I came home, worked one day and got sick. I missed another week of work. So I am finally getting around to working on my pictures.

We had a really magical trip. Never saw the Dream Team. I was hoping to win a set of ears a pin lanyard. But we had our own magic.

When we arrived in Orlando, the pilot invited the kids on the plane to sit with him in the cockpit and to take pictures. Kirsta is wearing her Hannah Montana outfit I bought for her and her "hair". This was an unplanned outfit, so unfortunately, she didn't get to wear all the things I made for her.

Ignore the goofy face in the first picture. We always have dinner with Cinderella and Prince Charming our first night. But this year, we ate in the castle. As we walked down Main Street, you could hear everyone rave about her dress. Kirsta's head would go a little higher each time she heard it. We had people walk across the street to come tell her how beautiful her dress was. She later told me she was "royalty" becuase everyone was calling her Princess. lol! I thought the dress came out nice, but I didn't expect the amount of comments we heard.

This is at MGM. All she wanted was to show Pluto her skirt. But every time we go to the character greeting, the lines were stopped. I didn't think they had that many characters out as they had in the past. Even in all the parks. I was disappointed as getting autographs is a big deal to Kirsta.

I never got around to showing everyone this skirt. I'm not that fond of it. I planned on a sash at the hip, but could never find a ribbon to match. I think it's the denim I don't like. I made shorts to go underneath so it's a skort.

The first is the only picture I have of our dear sweet "Betty" in her Nanny costume I made for her Disney trip. Kirsta wanted to see Mary Poppins to show her Betty. On our way out of the BBB, we saw MP heading to the carasel. Kirsta grabbed Betty and ran after her. MP invited Kirsta to get on the ride with her, they rode it twice and chatted the whole time together. MP signed her autograph book when they got off and then took all the kids waiting for her over to her "spot" by the castle. It was truly magical.

This was very last minute. Mom-mom had to help me get it finished. I wasn't going to make it, but Kirsta wanted to know where it was. I planned on doing a twirl skirt, but couldn't find a matching sheer. I ended up liking the shorts much better. But we discovered that when it rains, the knit stretches. So I'll have to rethink the next one. She has a matching headband and scrunchy, but of course, how could you wear it with the special hairdo.

Here is our Minnie outfit. We went to the Backyard BBQ. Several people stopped us on the way there to say it was the best Minnie outfit they had seen. I really think it got her picked to help in the lasso show. She was picked to help with the demostration. Cyclone Sally kept saying she thought it was Minnie Mouse and didn't know why she wasn't on her break. And the other guy (I forgot his name) said he did to, until he saw her shoes. I had planned on getting yellow Crocs, but ran out of time looking for them.

Great twirl skirt!! We are at the Halloween party. I had several CMs walk across the street to tell me this was the most orgional costume they had seen in years. I has several guests stop to ask where I got becuase thier daughter wanted one. This was a big hit!! BTW, I was the fairy Godmother.

I made her a princess skort and a tshirt from the creative list about Princess get the sillies. Snow White had her do a silly face with her, and there is one of Belle also. But it's on photopass. I'll have to order that one. Mulan kissed her check and we had to go to the bathroom a hundred times so we could look at the lipstick print.

Our last day. Kirsta was picked to be the Chef of the Day at the ASMusic resort. They made a big announcement and she got to make her ice cream sundae. Got a big certificate and balloon. She really loved it.

We got a lot of attention on the trip and it helped to make the trip really magical. I really think it was because of all her wonderful outfits I made her thanks to everyone here and their ideas. I might not have done as much as I did if not for everyone on the board. Thank you for your help and ideas.


I love all of the outfits! The working Cinderella dress is fantastic. I agree with the CM that it is very original! Looks like you had a great time.

When you make the two layer twirl skirt (i.e page 1098) is there a measurement for how much the fabric for each layer is gathered? I am wondering if you measure the waist and then make it 1 1/2 times or 2 times that size to gather ?

Has anyone made the three layer twirl skirt with the tulle in the middle or on the bottom layer. Any tips for making this one. I am especially wanting to know any tips on gathering the tulle or sewing the tulle and again, do you 1 1/2, double or triple the measurement? When you use the tulle do you just cut and leave a raw edge along the bottom? I've never sewed with it before. Thanks.


I am currently in the process of making my second one of these skirts and have discovered that tulle is a pain! Yuck! For this skirt you double the measurements of the waist for that part and then for the other two fabrics you use two pieces of fabric each the length of your fabric (44 or 45 inches) with whatever length you would like it to be. The ruffles are 4 pieces of fabric 44 or 45 inches sewn together. The trick for the tulle is to cut it then sew it together overlapping so in my case my tulle was 8 pieces of about 13x45 inches. I layered the pieces together so it was a little thicker. Then I took a piece of elastic thread and zig zagged over it on the widest and longest setting. As I came to the end of the tulle I would overlap it with the next two pieces of tulle by about 4 inches and did this four times (so I used all 8 pieces) and then gathered it. The elastic thread with the zig zag stitch was how she suggested doing it in the directions but I'm not sure it's that much easier than just gathering it the normal way with basting stitches. When I cut the tulle I cut it longer than I wanted it and went back and trimmed it to the length that I wanted it but I left it raw, you just cut it. I have seen other people use bias tape on the edge if you want to give it more definition but with this skirt you would probably want to only use one layer of tulle and cut down on the amount otherwise you'd need a mile of bias tape! If you have any more questions, just pm me and I'd be happy to answer.

My neighbor just had a little boy at the beginning of Sept.. He had a hernia (I have no idea what kind though) and they did surgery on him about 3 weeks ago to fix it. He is a little guy and he sailed through it with flying colors! No problems at all. I hope everything goes well for you too! My only advice is to ask around and see who people like as far as surgeons and anesthesiologists go. If you have friends/neighbors/acquaintances who are in the medical field ask them for their opinions. It has been my experience that people who work in or around a hospital know who to go to and who to stay away from. Also, think beyond other doctors and nurses. Most drug reps and medical sales people know a lot about the doctors too. I hope everything goes and well and that you're able to enjoy your trip. Hopefully the surgeon will tell you it will close on its' own!
 
That must have been so scary for a newborn to have surgery. I know umbilical hernias and the hernias in the groin are very common(mostly boys have the groin ones). Hers is between the breast bone and her belly button, down the middle of her tummy. I'm glad to hear they repaired it with no problems. I'm sure it won't they her up for long- the young ones heal quickly, I just feel bad cuz she already had a broken wrist and it was only 2 months ago!! I thought boys were the dangerous ones :rotfl2:

:grouphug: It is so hard when you find out your little one has to have surgery! Lydia had to have tubes put in, which was not a big deal at all really! But, I was a mess thinking they had to put her out to do it! I can only imagine how worried you are!

Some friends of ours had a baby (I think he was just under 2 yrs old ayt the time)with a hernia, and he had to have surgery too. He is 20 now I believe, and doing fine!

Please keep us updated.
 
You know both my brother and I had tubes and I never even thought of how my Mom felt about it until you (teresajoy) mentioned it. I bet it freaked her out too. I think it is that part (the putting her out part) that is freaking me out the most right now, then there is the actual cutting part and the what if they leave something inside her part- I think I've seen to many of those hospital shows on discovery channel.Why do we watch those any way don't we have enough to worry about??? Then the healing part- she is so active and busy. I know she will be in pain which is going to break all our hearts seeing her hurting. And of course the anticipation of it all................TIA everyone.

What really made me post today is that the minnie dot fabric, sent by the very generous HeatherSue:love: , arrived today. Now, I need to get those overalls done. These are the ones I am making

Does anyone know who made these or who owns these? It looks like the skirt is sewn all the way around the overalls. Doesn't that make the side snaps useless? Is it hard to get the overalls on/off? Since I'm making these for someone else (my daughter is 18 yrs old-really missed the boat on making her custom disney overalls!), I don't want to make life more difficult for the mom, getting a 1 yr old and 2 yr old in and out of their outfits. So, if you have any ideas or advice, I'm reading almost everyday.

And, HeatherSue and TeresaJoyce (see, I am paying attention), I came across this quote while looking for some scrapbooking inspiration and immediately thought of you two. . . "The Lord made us sisters because He knew we would love each other too much to just be friends."

Also, I am so sorry for the loss of AKSunshine's son, and grateful Susan still has her daughter.

Well, here is my 2cents....in those small sizes, the pants usually have snaps for diaper changes...makes it easy access...and that small size the side snaps aren't needed to get them in and out. I have various sizes of grands, and their overalls go on and off without bothering with the snaps on the sides. Those snaps keep them in the overalls more than anything..keep things nice and tight on the sides. I made several for Makayla in a size 18 months and she slips right in and out. Babies don't have hips to have to slide clothing over, so it should be fine....you are so nice to be doing this for these little ones...blessings,
Susan the insomniac
