Beautiful things, everyone. And I love that Anastasia story and how she remembered you!
Also, who are we more likely to see? I know it is a rotating thing, and there is no guarantee...but who should I sort of plan for?
We saw Belle, Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White, and Ariel (as a human, in her blue dress.) Like you said, it can and will vary. I've heard of Mulan being there too/instead, and I think Alice pops up there too from time to time.
Apron Help Needed!!!! I am working on making an apron for my DD's blue belle dress and I was wondering if someone could give me direction on attaching the apron part to the tie part at the top. I just want it to look nice. I don't have a pattern. Anyone?
I have an idea for you, but someone else might have a better way to do it. This would probably only work for an apron tie about an inch tall or more and I don't think you could do anything like this for an apron that has a top and a bottom section, but just one with a bottom section only.
Cut out the apron tie and sew the bottom seam on it, right sides together...BUT...leave an opening in the middle bottom of it the same length as your finished apron piece. (Sew up the ends too, you can turn it right sides out using the long hole in the bottom of the tie.) Turn the tie right sides out and iron it, making sure that the unfinished edges of the open part of the seam are ironed inward. Insert the top of your finished apron piece into the hole in the seam and pin. Stitch as close to the bottom seam as you can to secure the apron piece inside the apron tie. (I would probably run that stitch all the way along the bottom of the apron tie just to have it all look the same.) Then I think you'd be good to go.
And now, I have something to post! I've been too exhausted lately to do much sewing, and adding an hour of exercise back into my daily schedule (finally) is really cutting into the time I used to use to craft, which is both
and
.
It's nothing big or impressive, but I'm happy with them because it was a major modification of a simple shorts pattern and they came out exactly as I wanted them to and they fit my daughter really well. I made a pair of white eyelet bloomers to go under my DD's Minnie Mouse Halloween costume. No pics of them on her, because that felt oddly like taking pics of my daughter in her underwear!
She tried them on, said they were great and looked like Minnie's, and then said (in true three year old fashion), "Can I take them off now?" I hope they stay on her in October. It'll be cold-ish here and she'll need as many layers as I can get on her!
