apparently I cant attach the photo just the link sorry

Adorable...love the flutter sleeves

 

[chellewashere]

That turned out really cute!

I managed to make two Jessie dresses this week...

And my favorite part... I lined the bodice in Cow... LOL It's a fact - I'd be the only one who felt that it completed an outfit.

Now I'm on to the BG wallets... I finished Tink and Ariel this morning, and nearly half done with HP... I have the Star Wars and Mickey all cut out and ready to sew up tomorrow morning.

D~

So beautiful. This would be awesome for a girl to wear too!! I love it!!

This came out great. I have been saving my simply sweet to make for when I get good. Think I bought the pattern like a month ago [/QUOTE]

Thank you! It was my first time using a pattern and was so easy. I am afraid of trying a regular pattern because I know the instructions won't be as detailed as CarlaC's!

I don't know if any of you have an H&M store near you. I went in one yesterday and saw that they had t-shirt dresses for little girls in size 2 through 8 for $4.95. They had a red Minnie polka dot and a pink Minnie polka dot with plenty of space on the front for appliques. I wanted to buy one for my little niece but the line was so long and my two girls were impatient to go and have lunch. But I thought I'd pass this tip along. The dresses were adorable with a little ruffle on the bottom and another small ruffle at the top.

Awesome! I'll have to check that out this week. Thanks for the tip!

Over the summer one of the Kindergarten teachers ( also a HUGE Disney fan) called me and asked if she brought me the fabric would I make her curtains for her class room. Well the fabric was actually sheets. She told me I could keep the scraps that she would not need them. So my 8 yr old came to me today and asked if she could sew something so I said sure let me embroider for ya first and then I will teach you the art of gathering and you can add the gather to the top. Here is her/our finished product with the curtain/sheet scraps:

So cute and great that she wanted to make it herself! Great job!

I am so excited, after all the lurking I finally have something to share.
I have not sewn in years due to severe RA, so it was really challenging. My very good friend came over this morning and cut the bottom as I could not use the cutter. Otherwise it did it all!
I am thrilled she wont have to wear plan b! hmmm what shall I attempt next

Good for you! I can't see the picture, but I know how satisfying it must be to get back to doing something you enjoy. Here's to many more projects!

It's beautiful -- so if your daughter. I love the soft green.

went to the Disney Store today to stock up on GC for the Big Gives and found a few pixie dust items on sale!

I miss our Disney store! We used to have two in malls near by and then there were none.

That turned out really cute!

I just bought that fabric in two other colors today! I got one as a remnant and one was on clearance for $2 yard. I was thinking of trying a pillow case dress or shirt with the remnant (it's 34 inches). I think any tyoe of twirl skirt would be cute to -- but neither of my ideas are sundresses


I LOVE it! Can your dd do a tut for how it was made? Is the top part made out of a knit shirt? Please expalin or show a super large pic. I really, really like this!

I swear I had two other things quoted. I really am senile. I guess that's what happens when you're in your mid 40's!

It was a plain tshirt that I cut the bottom 3/4 off of. I then did the mickey head for her as today was the first time she ever used the sewing machine. Once I was done it was her turn. I had her turn the stitch to the longest stitch and I let her do 2 basting stitches next to each other and then she pulled the bobbin thread and gathered the fabric so it would be the same size as the shirt. Then I helped her pin it to the shirt and she sewed it to the shirt and I then took over and did a zig zag over the raw edges since I don't have a serger.
It was so wonky that I took another long scrap that we cut off the fabric and I let her sew that wrong sides together and then turn it right side out. I finished the end for her.Tied it around her to hide the very crooked sewing.
The sleeves are just rolled up and then tied with ribbon. She has sensory issues and does not like the short sleeves on her arms so all her t-shirts get tied up that way. that is all we did to make that. no need to hem the skirt portion as the sheet company did it for us already LOL.

The pattern is from YCMT. It is the halter dress or something like that. When the site is back up, I can tell you the correct name. I added all the ruffles to the underskirt and cut out the top back layer. I wanted to make it like a bustle, but couldn't make it work. I also did not like the way the straps made the front bunch up, so I added the button holes to thread the straps through. I made this quite a few years ago now, but it remains a favorite. I dubbed it "Grandma's Parlor."

Here are a few pics...

I also made it as a skirt and t-shirt.... I did 2 tops for this buyer, but don't have a pic of the halter top with the silhouette on it.

I really like that pattern. When you can find out what it is, let us know. The ruffles on the back, sort of remind me of the victorian dresses.

Hey everyone!

Happy Easter!!...(a bit early but I may not get on here tomorrow so...

TMTQ..but I love everything that has been posted over the last couple of days.

D, love the Jessie dresses and the cow print lining. Very cute.

I have been a little busy and in an effort to help us get to 250 here are a few photo's of my 2nd and 3rd projects.

2nd project ever...Pillow case mini dress with ruffle/easy fit pants....DD doesn't like it she says it looks like a clown suite....I think it was a little to colorful or maybe its the "dots" In hinds sight I could have used the solid fabric for the main part of the pants and the dots for the cuff. That would have broken it up a little.... oh well...I won't force her to wear it...I promise

3rd project ( aka dress 1 of 14 for our disney trip this summer) Minnie dot peasant dress...just waiting on my local store to get some wonder under or something like it so I can try Heathers Sue's applique tut...and add Minnie head. This trip is also a surpirse so I will have to wait until we are closer and I can start packing or the Minnie head will be a dead giveaway..

I think I may get out my seam ripper and take the ribbon off and move it down so its not on the elastic casing...it takes away the dresses ability to stretch in that area. Maybe line it up right under it. Any suggestions???

I saw the earlier discussion about the princess dresses at the Princess meals. My girls were never interested in wearing a princess dress so this is what they were last time we did a princess meal.

Younger DD just looked at the pictures and said that she looks like she is wearing clown pants.

Here is another outfit that I made for the girls to wear while we were at Disney on that trip.

Now that my girls are a couple of years older, they would NEVER wear either one of those outfits. For the one day we did there in December, they were willing to wear tie dye shirts but that was it!

OMG! You just brought my vision of a dress to life!!! I bought the peasant dress pattern for me from SisBoom and I was totally planning on making something just like that for our trip!

Not sure if it got missed ... and I figure reposting will only help move us along

I need to order shirts for a BigGive ... Hanes.com is having a sale and I was wondering if anyone has used their shirts for iron-on designs? Are they true to size?

I need 2 5T shirts ... I was going to order size S (6-8) rather than XS (2-4) ... what do you think?

Mens & Women's ... are they true to size?

TIA!

 

[chellewashere]

not happy Im interrupting her DRAGON BALL Z to try on a top

I would definitely order the 6-8. It is always better to have something be a little roomy rather than too small. I bought my daughters some Hanes t-shirts last summer and I thought they ran a bit on the smaller side anyhow. I don't know about the adult shirts on the website but the ones that I buy in the store seem pretty true to size.

I'm not looking forward to the outgrowing the outfits I like stage
Your daughters look beautiful!!

Love the outfits. Would your DD wear the top with a solid color pair of leggings or shorts, and the pants with a solid color t-shirt or top? They are both so cute, it would be a shame not to wear them.

Not sure what to do about the ribbon... it looks great though.
