Whats needed for the survival kit?

The survival kit is things that you think you'd need at the park but you might forget at home!! like rain ponchos, handiwipes, glowsticks....little things like that to help a Mom out!!!! lol

 

[VBAndrea]

The dress in the picture is the only one I've made so far. It is with the Modkids pattern that I ordered. I have another one of the same pattern cut out already. But I added 4 inches to the length and this one will be short sleeves. I am going to give this dress to my mother in law. She is only around 5 ft tall so the length will be perfect for her. She has trouble buying things that fit her right because she is short but not very thin.

I think that the fabric box was worth it. It was really crammed full of fabric. A lot of them were things that I would not have picked for myself but I will definitely use. There were at least 4 or 5 fabrics that I got nearly a yard of each one. There were probably about 5 things that I got about 1/2 yard of and several small pieces. One was a Christmas print which I will never use so it became a rag for cleaning. LOL!

I can't wait to see both the Dorothy dress AND the birthday party outfit.

OK, I thought you did two dresses for yourself already. I will stop hassling you now Yay that you can give this one to your mom and make a new that is a more suitable length for yourself.

Hmmm, I think it's time I order some more knits! (even though I'm not supposed to buy fabric).

I still haven't taken a pic of that Dorothy dress -- it's nothing exciting. I really need to snap a pic b/c it's due at school tomorrow.

I haven't even started the party outfit but I'm doing it just like ones I did for a BG. All I have been working on is a BG item, which I really hope to finish today (though I really, really hoped to finish it yesterday).

I spent the last 2 weeks working on 5 reversible poodle skirts for my oldest dgd's 10th b'day party! soem of the other girls came in poodle skirts too! here they are all lined up...

and here is my 1st onesie gown for my new granddaughter due in april...Liberty Elayna

thank you all for looking!
now if i can get some get up and go and go in the sewing room and start on the many project i have planned for the baby shower! the shower will be all b/w damask and Minnie mouse heads to match the nursery....and since Brendi has craved MOE'S and El Sombrero we will have a taco/burrito bar along with pink minnie mouse cup cakes !

Great skirts and what a cool idea for a birthday party theme!

I LOVE that damask -- I know I've mentioned it before but every time you post any of it I guarantee I will be telling you how much I love it!

 

[OrlandoBelle]

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments about my dresses.

I did the elasticated bit at the top of them myself using shirring elastic. It was a lot easier than I thought

I got the mouse head appliques from this etsy store... http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheAppliquePatch

And the pattern for the camera strap is from a lovely blog I found... although I can't seem to find it now

 

[cogero]

I love love love everything that has been posted lately.

I have been working on orders and buying fabric

I have lots of ideas but not enough hours in a day. I have one shirt to do to finish another order and hoping to get that one done today (i have ruined 3 shirts already) and it is driving me nuts.

Maybe later I will work on something that has been twirling in my mind or work on a big give.

 

[OrlandoBelle]

I also made this one for Amelia's 2nd birthday last week. It was a last minute job with some left over fabric I had. These dresses are so easy to make. This one took me just over an hour and a half

Gotcha I figured it was something along those lines but wasnt sure if their was a specific list. I think I can handle that! Thanks

 

[Just*the*ten*of*us]

Looks like someone beat me to it though!

 

[Mom in Heels]

I have been lurking for a while now, looking at everyone's beautiful creations, so I thought it was about time I put some of mine up.

Please be gentle on me... these are a few of the first things I have ever made. I only have a simple sewing machine, no serger or anything like that and I don't know how to applique... I live in the UK and had the mouse heads on the dresses shipped from Etsy and ironed on

Nethertheless I am very proud of them and my DD LOVES wearing them. I have made them for our first trip to WDW next month...

Also make a camera strap cover for myself!

All of these dresses are ADORABLE! I wish I did so well during my first attempts at sewing! Well done!

Wow those Curious Georg PJ's are AMAZING!!! I would love to make some for my Daughter. I live in the UK and cannot get any decent fabric, and certainly no Curious George over here. Can I ask where you got it from? We're going on holiday in May to Florida and hoping to visit Joann's and Michaels (the only 2 craft shops I've heard of over there!). I'm hoping to fill a suitcase with fabric on the way home!

Just scrolling through cause I was out of town for the weekend and spied this. That is a very old out of print Curious George fabric. Last year a couple of us tried to find some and all we could find is a small bit on Ebay at about $30/yard if I recall. I am officially out of it now, except for a pair of size 2 PJ bottoms that I made up and then my customer changed her mind about.

Here is Dorothy. I made up my own pattern and just based the look of the pinafore on the real Dorothy dress. The only thing I didn't do was the small strip of fabric cut on the bias that is near the hemline of the skirt -- I have enough fabric to add it, but the fabric is thin and a wee bit difficult to work with so I decided not to ruin a good thing. The blouse is one I made last year for Project Runway so it's not exactly like Dorothy's, but I think it works decent enough.

Of course, Target has stopped selling the sparkly red shoes. DD will red patent leather ones that are very cute. The Dorothy in the first half of the play is wearing reddish orange shoes so I don't feel so bad (for those who don't know, the teacher split the major character roles into halves b/c it's 1st grade thru 6th grade doing the play -- around 25 students).

One other thing I did different was I used button holes on the back -- the real costume is all hook and eye but buttons seemed faster (though I won't show you a pic of those -- 3 out of the 4 button holes look bad -- think it was due to the fabric).

I will post a pic in a couple of weeks of DD wearing the dress with her braids and makeup with Toto (who is a Yorkie b/c no one had a stuffed Cairn Terrier -- my sister had a few stuffed Yorkies though!).

 

[cogero]

It is lovely Andrea. Great Job. Can't wait to see pictures of your DD in it

 

[BBGirl]

Does anyone here need white or blue(navy)1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon? Thats the problem with outlet shopping I only need about half what I got. It of course cost a about a tenth of what it would have to just buy what I needed retail. Who isn't going to do that?

These are so cute! I love them!

Here it is. The shirt she is wearing is just her pj shirt.

Very Princess like!

This week I finished up this outfit:

Love your work. I actually just bookmarked your link for the knit skirt as that is something my dd would certainly wear!

YAY, I finally got my fabric in the mail, and made my first dress!!

Love it!

I spent the last 2 weeks working on 5 reversible poodle skirts for my oldest dgd's 10th b'day party! soem of the other girls came in poodle skirts too! here they are all lined up...

So, yesterday I took apart 2 of my dd's swimsuits that she had outgrown and were too chlorine damaged to pass on and I made her AG girls their own swimsuits.

They turned out pretty cute and I learned a lot while making them. I learned that swimsuit material is very slippery and that my machine doesn't really like it. I learned that I do not have a stretch stitch on my machine (hence the use of the zig zag). I learned that my machine will likely be needing to serviced as it was making all sorts of odd clunks and noises that it should not be making. Then again, the machine was a free to me machine, so I cannot complain to much if I need to have it serviced. In fact, I have gotten a lot of use of the this machine, so I should have it serviced just to be nice to it. I also learned that I will probably like using a serger for a job like this as it would really make the seams look a lot better. I will definitely try this again once my Aunt's serger gets here!

these are such a cute way to reuse! I love it, very creative.

What do you think?

I second everyones thoughts...it looks great and the fabric was a great choice!

here is the twirl factor!!

oh I love the poodle skirts, im toying with the idea of making one for my daughter for halloween. theyre my favorite. everything else looks great too, the gown took my breath away, its gorgeous!

I am pretty sure that Sandi posted the link for the tank top. It was a free Ottobre pattern. I think that Sally posted the link to the skirt. It needed some adjusting to the pattern but I will make it again since it turned out super cute!

looks great, and I will definitely try out the skirt for my older daughter, its just her style

Very nice! She will look like a doll!


And a big thanks to everyone who commented about my dress, its very encouraging and I love to hear any criticism. You guys are what inspired me, after years of saying I was going to start sewing to actually do it!

To the pp who had the poodle skirts, my partner and I were thinking of going to the MNSHHP and I was going to make us poodle skirts for it only use Mickey's instead of the poodles.

Somebody last year did poodle skirts for MNSHHP and put Pluto on them. They were adorable. I can't remember who made them though.

Here is Dorothy. I made up my own pattern and just based the look of the pinafore on the real Dorothy dress. The only thing I didn't do was the small strip of fabric cut on the bias that is near the hemline of the skirt -- I have enough fabric to add it, but the fabric is thin and a wee bit difficult to work with so I decided not to ruin a good thing. The blouse is one I made last year for Project Runway so it's not exactly like Dorothy's, but I think it works decent enough.

Of course, Target has stopped selling the sparkly red shoes.

I found that blue gingham very thin and it frayed the minute you touched it. I lined Sara's entire dress because it was totally see through. Your Dorothy dress turned out fabulous! Can't wait to see the pictures of your dd in the dress with her hair in braids etc. Target only seems to sell the sparkly red shoes in the fall before Halloween. Too bad your dd isn't older, we have Sara's pair for they are probably too big. I think they are a girl's size 4.

I always buy more than I need when I go to the ribbon outlet. But how can you pass up a whole roll of 25 or 50 yards of ribbon for $2!

So, yesterday I took apart 2 of my dd's swimsuits that she had outgrown and were too chlorine damaged to pass on and I made her AG girls their own swimsuits.

Those turned out very cute! What a cute way to re-purpose old swimsuits! Sorry your machine is giving you a bit of trouble. I hope that getting it serviced takes care of the problem!

Celidh -- my dd, who is also 8 y/o, gets a pre-spelling test on Mondays. Today one of her words was Uranus. She wrote down "your highness" but at least she spelled it correctly. Pirty wasn't on her list this week.

Wow those are cute! Did you use a tut? My dd's doll needs a swimsuit -- I only have one to sew for, not four! I'm sorry for all your machine troubles though. And sergers are wonderful -- they really make things look professional.



All righty, I am almost done with a BG -- just requested one different from file from Heather for a t and once I get it and stitch it out I will be done with that. Now I need to move on to a pirate set for my dd and do some pockets for shorts that Amy wants to make (I just need to embroider on them). The pockets are pirate designs too. And then IF I have time I want to do a bowling shirt for the birthday boy. I also wanted to make him an eye spy bag but I really doubt I'll have time for all this!

Thanks for all of the compliments - I had fun doing the swimsuits and my dd was thrilled to have one for each of her dolls!

I used the free swimsuit pattern from liberty jane patterns www.libertyjanepatterns.com/2011/07/free-swimsuit-pattern-for-dolls.html

I had never used her patterns before this weekend - I found that her instructions were very clear and not difficult to follow. I like patterns like that.

Now to find a nice spa for my sewing machine. It works, but it could work a little better, kwim? In the meantime, I am anxiously awaiting my serger!

Popping in to say...IT'S A BOY! No bows and ruffles...again. lol! C-section is scheduled for Sept. 4.

Sorry I went mia again. Been a rough 2 months. I really NEED to sew something.

congrats! I'm due Oct 20th.....won't find out until June.

I have been lurking for a while now, looking at everyone's beautiful creations, so I thought it was about time I put some of mine up.

Love the upcycle! I recently remade some of my old tshirts into some new bike shorts for DD to wear under sundresses....loved reusing the bottom hem for the shorts' hem....time saver.
