Here is Ireland's pirate outfit for pirate night on our cruise...
The top wasn't hemmed in this picture..and excuse poor Ireland. She has a fever and we all have a pretty bad cold here...
This is what Lexie will be wearing...minus the yellow ribbon...
Here is Madis Ariel outfit I am going to add Ariel ruffles to the shorts thats why they are not hemmed yet.
I am also making Katie the same outfit and now I am thinking of making myself a top.
My DS (6) had his first performance of their Alice in Wonderland play tonight! It was sooooo fun! Anyway, DD (4) wore her Alice dress. I did end up adding a pocket with the white rabbit on it (that way I can remove it if I want!). I was able to edit the design somewhat to have fewer overlapping stitches and the black outlines. I am much happier!
A close-up of the pocket - sorry for the lighting, I took this while waiting for the play to start!
And for my DS I embellished the pocket on a store bought shirt with his (Disney-ized) character from the play - the five of diamonds...
And here they are after the show... DS was so proud to have "goodies" (flowers and balloons)
Oooh I love it! It's adorable. And I'm glad you haven't been resting or relaxing or anything with the kids away!
Very cute dress, so pink and girly!
Mickey is stylin!I bet that outfit will look adorable on Megan, it's really pretty
Wow, that is one cute outfit! It even looks gorgeous on Mickey!What happened to your plan to use one of the neighbor's kids?
Do you think we should tell Minnie Mickey is wearing her clothes????
BTW - I occasionally have problems with white bobbin thread showing through or where a line of stitching on black overlaps a light color stitching. I'll admit I "cheat" and use a fabric dye marker to make the light threads less noticeable. A sharpie marker might work, too. Shhhh don't tell anyone... it's a secret?
LisaZoe cheats? I refuse to believe it, lol!
I finally finished everything that I was going to make for my cousin's girlfriend's baby shower tomorrow.
I made two lacy white bonnets with pink ribbons.
A pretty pink floral swaddler blanket.
A cute size 3 mos A-Line dress based on CarlaC's pattern.
An adorable pair of Zebra PJs.
A little pink diaper cover.
And a cute size newborn size dress.
With the exception of the two dresses all of the patterns for these items came from Teresa's bookmarks. So Thank You Teresa for the bookmarks. I enjoyed making each one of these items. They were all so easy.
THis dress is adorable! Great job on the applique.Sorry to have been mostly absent this week but I have been going crazy getting ready for our beach trip. I don't have pics of all the customs yet and I still have one more to do tonight (we are leaving in the am) but I wanted to share this one because I love how it turned out. I will take lots of pics and post when i get back. By then I will have probably 100 pages to catch up on. It is only like 15 now. LOL Well here it is, I fell in love with this whale fabric at joanns. I am making russell a shark outfit to coordinate.
Very cute. I wish my JoAnn's had those fabrics!http://
My daughter's crab outfit almost finished. I ran out out bias tape! I used the tension technique to ruffle it. Works like a charm!
That turned out great! So cool and comfortable.Here is Madis Ariel outfit I am going to add Ariel ruffles to the shorts thats why they are not hemmed yet.
I am also making Katie the same outfit and now I am thinking of making myself a top.
I am not sure I can adjust the tension. The machine is supposed to be set to "E" when you embroider. I will keep the marker idea in mind though for next time.When I appliqué, I loosen the tension on the upper thread so it's easier for the machine to pull it through to the back. Don't forget to adjust it back to the normal setting when you're ready to do other sewing.

Thank you! I was GOING to listen to you, and then DD got insistent! Thank you! They are doing three performances total, so there are two left. Seems like a lot for a six year old, but he's loving it!
Love your pockets. How do you do a prepurchased shirt? Do you take it off? I've always avoided them because I wasn't sure.
I just used a seam ripper to remove the pocket and then followed the old stitching lines to sew it back on. It looks like I never touched it! Its so nice to make things and have them be appreciated!
I did this on some shirts I made. I ran out of time and used some red Sharpie. About 4 days later, my nephew wore his shirt and got stuck in the rain. The Sharpie ran!!
who said they use black Sharpies for outlining and other small details.Wow! Everything looks great! I have a pregnant friend. I may have to try the swaddler blanket.I finally finished everything that I was going to make for my cousin's girlfriend's baby shower tomorrow.

That is so great! LOVE it!!! And your DD is so adorable!Hi everyone! I really don't know where this week has gone - I've not had anything different on to normal but I just don't seem to have 5 minutes to myself. Anyway, I've just had a quick skim through everything and there are some beautiful outfits posts, as normal.
I have however had the time to finish one outfit - good job as I've been at it for weeks!! I cut out all the pieces and when I came to add on the contrasting colour it was no where near as big as the piece I was joining it too, so I abandoned it for a while. I was convinced I'd done the pleats horribly wrong but after going through everything again, it looked OK so I just recut the colour to fit. I'm pretty sure the pattern was wrong as the top doesn't look wrong (to me anyhow)
One day I will make something that fits I promise!!! I'm too tight to make a 1/2 and it only last a short while so Hope's having to wear a huge 1 for a while longer!!
Please excuse the dribble - it doesn't last forever does it???
Thanks for looking - Clare XX
