I don't need it, I have a brother sewing machine, serger and embroidery machine
so why do I want this?

 

[Daisy'sMama]

Hello sewing experts! I need some sewing help. I want to make my girls some stepsister dresses to wear to 1900 Park Fair for dinner. I found a great tutorial online that shows you how to make a Cindy dress. However, the front of the bodice of the stepsisters dresses that I want to do (I saw some on ebay that were beautiful, but WAY out of my price range, so I'm using them as inspiration.) have a bodice that comes down in a point.

My problem is that I don't have a clue as to how to measure, cut, and attach the skirt part to the bodice so that the hem is even. I looked at a Disney Store Cindy costume that we have that also has a pointed bodice, but it's not much help. The bodice is lined. The skirt part looks to be attached in parts. First, a small strip that shows about 1" or so is attached to the bodice. Another strip that is also showing about 1" is attached to the previous strip. Then the actual skirt panels are attached to the second strip and have a serged top. I measured and the point of the bodice comes down 3" past the part at the side seams. The skirt panels are about 2" longer at the side seams than they are at the front center.

Is there a particular pattern that I can use that has instructions that has puffed short sleeves, a pointed bodice, peplum, and a long skirt?

Also, where is a good place online to buy some satin for this project?

If you don't mind commercial patterns (I don't), McCalls has exactly what you are looking for. I just made two of them last week.

Good luck!
Stephanie

So Lorelei has decided that we need to be Tinkerbell and clan for MNSSHP. So here is my dilemma..she will be Tinkerbell her dad will be John Darling (ez enough costume to make) but she wants me to be Wendy. Do you think the Jamie will work for that kind of costume if I just make it longer? If not what pattern do you think could make it work?
Im cheating on Tink...gonna get a bright green tutu and then embroider a shirt with Tink on it and then get some wings.

Hi! I was searching around the internet for inspiration and I found your board!

I am new to my sewing/embroidery machine (Brother SE400) but I can convinced that I'm going to successfully make outfits for my 17-mo old son when I take him to WDW for the first time in March. You all have been such an inspiration!

I was lurking and found some amazing bags that DMGeurts made. Does anyone know how much she charges for them?

Also, how I can volunteer to help with the Wish clothes?

Thanks! Nice to meet all of you!

Hello Everyone! It has been a while since I have been on here. I am on the Facebook group though. It has been busy here between me tearing my ACL in Oct, our family trip in November, and havig the ACL repaired at the end of December. I have been doing some sewing in that time and some digitizing. Including listing a bunch of stuff in my shop. I will be going back to work soon so that will impact my sewing time. I haven't caught up on any of the thread yet but thought I would post a few pictures of a couple things I have made.
Joci wanted a real Aurora dress. So "we" made it Blue!

I made a bunch of ITH wristlets for Christmas presents - these are just an example.

Here is a new dress I made Evangeline - lots of twirl!

I wish I had a good pic of their AK outfits all together

Hey Stranger, nice to "see"you. I'm sorry about the ACL, that sounds painful
love the aurora and Tiara dress. Your baby is getting big (how does that happen so fast) You are inspiring me with the ITH bags, I keep saying I am going to try that and I never seem to get to it.

 

[gretchenohar@hotmail]

RubberDuckey - could you please tell me if you used a pattern for your beautiful Aurora dress?
It's perfect!
Thanks.

OMGoodness how totally beautiful this all is. Must not let DD in the room and see the dress or the skirt set. What pattern did you use on that adorable layer dress? And can I just say great choice on the UTLEY jersey..Go Phils!!

Welcome!

D sells her bags in her etsy store. Her shop name is SerendipiD Boutique. At least I think she sells them there -- if they are not listed just send her a PM and she can let you know what she charges.

To be a part of the Big Give just click on the link in my signature. You need to get approved but I think you usually can get approved in just a couple of days. There are only a couple of gives going on right now and I think they are pretty well accounted for, but I'm sure a new one will pop up soon. If you have any problems contact Teresa -- she's in charge of the BG board.

Sorry about the ACL. That can't be any fun. Your outfits are beautiful as usual. I especially love the Aurora.

 

[RubberDuckyRanch]

Thank You!
Aurora is made from a Simplicity pattern - I am at therapy now so I don't have the pattern number.

Wow, TMTQ individually again. See what happens when you don't check the thread for a couple of days! Too busy watching embroidery machine how to videos. Good thing too because it came today!!! I'm heading upstairs to unpack it now. Can't wait to start it up. I have to run out later and get some stuff since I wasn't planning a fabric store trip until the weekend because they said it wouldn't be here until next week. Yay for fast shipping!

Aren't Ds creations the best. We are the owner of some doll clothes and a few wallets we will get a bag when I can decide what I want on it.

I started with a SE-400 it is a great little machine

So Lorelei has decided that we need to be Tinkerbell and clan for MNSSHP. So here is my dilemma..she will be Tinkerbell her dad will be John Darling (ez enough costume to make) but she wants me to be Wendy. Do you think the Jamie will work for that kind of costume if I just make it longer? If not what pattern do you think could make it work?
Im cheating on Tink...gonna get a bright green tutu and then embroider a shirt with Tink on it and then get some wings.

I haven't really looked at the Jaime, but I was cleaning my sewing room yesterday and ran across Simplicity 4055 in my stash. With some minor changes, I think it would make a really nice Wendy!

I'm sorry to hear about your ACL! Ouch! I love all the outfits, but especially this Aurora! So pretty!


Beth Update (My vintage Singer, not our fellow board member ): She is now freed from her old table and sitting on my sewing counter with Jo and Meg. I've got a few cleaning items to pick up yet, but I'm starting to strip her down today and will be working on re-wiring and a total cleaning this weekend! I cannot wait!

Andrea - any pics yet of the shirts for your son's party? (Not like you're busy or anything. )

Regards,
C.

I think the Meghan Peasant would be perfect for Wendy.

So I finally finished the outfit I was making for my DD for DAK. I made one similar for someone else with a green bow on the Mickey head, but my DD wanted to have a crown on the mickey head. I couldn't find a piture I liked to copy, so I looked at pics to get an idea what it looked like and free handed it. I think it came out pretty good.

It's a little big because our trip is not until next year.
One more to finish up tomarrow.
