Ok ladies, here is my first attempt at an American Girl dress. I am very happy with how it turned out, especially considering I just learned how to make this dress and do appliques in the past few days!
I need to go back over the white stitching on the bottom, but other than that, I am happy with it!
This is adorable! Sometimes when I cut clothes for my DD, I will take the scraps and cut doll clothes. When I sew, I get matching outfits and I don't have to re-thread anything.
Got some Applique done for a fellow Diser (Can't remember her dis name now)

These are cute - I cannot wait to see this movie.
What an overwhelming thread, lol! I've loved looking through for inspiration
We are planning our first trip for the week after Thanksgiving and plan on making all the girls clothing for each day (7 days) and a few spares. Also some things for the boys. DS 7, DS 5, DD 4, DD 2.
When you make your clothing do you plan for which parks you will be in?
Welcome! I also have 4 kids to sew for - 3 boys and a girl. I made a spreadsheet and have clothing planned by the days' activities, and even some extra outfits for days I know we will do parks, then hotel/swimming, and back to the parks. I just have so much fun making this stuff...
BTW - Since you have boys to sew for, get your hands on Ottobre magazine. They have the BEST stuff for boys. My two older sons like to look through the magazines and make requests!
Hello! I used to post on this thread way back in 2007/2008, but since I don't have kids of my own, Disney customs aren't that fun!
Not that I haven't made my own Giselle dress in the past.
Anyway, the staff of the preschool ministry at my church like to do coordinated costumes for our fall festival.
I think one of the women would be a perfect Ariel and she said she'd wear the costume if I make it. That means that someone would see the INSIDE of one of my creations!
Needless to say, I'm petrified, but I can do it.
What's the best adult mermaid pattern out there? Any tips you can offer?
Try Simplicity (They have the most variety of adult costumes, but you might get lucky with McCall's too.) - also, you might also want to search costume patterns on Pattern Review.
