Beautiful. The mermaid dresses are amazing. And the Ariel top and capris are so cute.This is my first attempt at posting my pictures here so I hope it works.
My granddaughter has been asking me for a mermaid dress for her and her doll for a few weeks and I finally finished it.

I've been working on outfits for my grandkids for a Sept. Disney trip.
These are for my grandson.
This romper is lined or can be reversible, so while digging in my stash for a lining I came across Charlie Brown with Snoopy and decided to make it reversible.
These are for my granddaughter and I have more in progress for her.

oh that caterpillar outfit is too too cute! will have to use it for inspiration for my youngets g'daughters who bot start pre-k this year...Drive by post here! Finally finished something to share!
I had been hoarding this material for years and realized if I didn't make Sara Beth an outfit soon, she will be to old for it! This is a freankenpattern. Simply sweet combined with a simplicity pattern, combined with my own ideas. And it is my first had applique other than a mickey head!
Hoping to get one more project done this afternoon! We will see!
Has anyone seen the cricut peppermint expression thing on sale at Joanns?? Is this a good thing? Does it cut vinyl?? Could it cut freezer paper?

It seems like a great deal - (now don't ALL go run out an get one, I want one!
Thanks!
OR
would it be better to wait around for something like the Silhouette SD, since that uses a computer program and you can draw/use your own shapes and don't have to use a cartridge. Thoughts???
) are taking my girls to Disneyland on August 3rd! We are super excited. Haven't been to either park in ages. Life kinda gets in the way of the happiest place on earth sometimes. 
Thanks! I think it is an awesome deal, but I got to looking around and think I like the SilhouetteSD. You can use your own drawings and download cheap fonts/designs from them online. It's not a must have thing right now. I hardly have time to use the things I do have!

Hi Denise! Of course I remember you (I spy on you on Facebook too!) It's very nice to see you here again!Wow! Lots of new people around here! I haven't posted in several years. I didn't even remember what my screen name was exactly. It was something like my2tinks, but I couldn't get logged in so I had to make another.
My fiance and I ( I think I was still married to my ex last time I was here!
Not sure if many here will have a clue who I am. Just in case someone remembers the old days, I'm Denise. I have two girls, Riley (13) and Drew (9). I believe Riley was really struggling with her health last time I was around. Since then I have taken her to the Mayo clinic and things have improved slightly. She had to leave public school at one point and we are hoping that we have enough control of the situation to get her back in next year! Anyway. I'm gonna start snooping through the old posts to see what is going on with all of you. Some of you I am already spying on via facebook.
After showing my niece the Tiana/frog dress last weekend and her saying she wasn't going to wear it, I decided to make myself something.
This is what I made. I'm not happy with the front bodice as it is too low for me. Any ideas as to what I can do? Would some white lace along the top work? I didn't finish the bottom hem.
We have a horse but my daughter's fiancee has 6 or 7 that my kids can ride. He grew up on a big ranch and competed in rodeo when he was growing up. In fact, he went to college on a rodeo scholarship. Barrel racing is a rodeo event. And yes, everything out here is Western. This is cowboy country, lol. I think the English riding costumes are cute but definitely would be a little out of place here.
Here's a little teaser of my partially completed shirt. It is on hold until my mother brings me her embroidery machine in August. I've got to do the applique before attaching the lower part.
Regards,
C.
Here is the project my DD and I worked on together-
She made the pants completely by herself, from cutting out the pattern right down to having total control of the sewing machine at all times! The shirt was a bit more difficult and needed some "mommy guidance", but she was so proud of herself she beamed from ear to ear! That's my girl! BTW... I believe it was this board that sparked her interest to sew-I kept showing her all the amazing AG clothes and she could no longer handle not having any of her own!.... She already has her next project sketched out.
Of course my youngest who just turned 5 had to get in on the action. Here is the set she and I worked on together-
Jeana
This is what they were wearing that day. I was wondering if you were a Disboutiquer but I didn't recognize the little girl from any pictures so I didn't say anything. I remember thinking that Jungle Book was perfect for AK and why hadn't I thought of that, lol.
So I finally made some easy fit shorts and appliqued my very first shirt. The shirt is WAYY too big on him but it was only 99cents and I learned a lot with it being my first. I thought it was going to turn out a 5x7 but nope.The easy fit pants were pretty much just that, I think a few of the issues I did have were because of the type of fabric.

Easiest way to change up a boring lamp. Underneath the glitter is dark gold stitching. I needed to change the lamp up to go with a tropical themed room, and this was the easiest way, some glue and glitter, and it's like a new lamp. Plus, the blue beads were rewards from the Boardwalk and Beach Club hotel pool games. It's amazing how easy it is to totally change up a desk area with some glitter, a tablecloth, and some boa style lining.
well i got a lil sewing done over the weekend,to tired after the hot workday to do any in the evenings during the week. 1st up is a tee i got at my fave thrift store {most all my stuff comes from there,can't help myself!} didn't make just using to show my inspiration
AC not working. Basement cool. Therefore sew.
I love how changing fabrics changes the look of outfits. Today I tried another variation of the "Katie" dress of yesterday -- without rick rack and without a zipper.
Here's Ginger wearing the variation and her little cousin wearing the original.
Just like all good Miss America contestants she needed a little tape to keep things were they ought to be.
And, if I'm not mistaken I see my ruffle foot.
Love the dresses. I am glad to see Ginger has family. Her cousin looks like my straw dispenser that I have.
Could they be related. Sorry to hear you may have to cancel. I hope all is well with your mom.This is my first attempt at posting my pictures here so I hope it works.

Um, I just have to tell you, I did go to the IndianLand Walmart after I left Rita's. I've never seen an entire AISLE of 2 yd cuts at Walmart! Why oh why did I listen to you that the IndianLand Walmart had them? I got a bunch on clearance for $5.00 . . . including a red & white stripe that is perfect for my project!!! It was great to meet you (again) today!!! We'll have to get the kids together again . . . P was asking when we'd see B again
It was great to meet you again as well. The boys did seem to really get along. B would love to play with P again. Thanks again for getting the fabric. I really think i am going to use the pink mickey to make a skirt for me. Just can't decide what color shirt. I guess I could use black.

Everything you made is wonderful. That Ariel costume is gorgeous and I really love all the boy stuff. I think the Minnie set is so cute but the little overalls might be my favorite.This is my first attempt at posting my pictures here so I hope it works.

As my son would say: "ohhh yeahhhh"Missed a few days and wow so much adorable stuff. Next week at this time I should already be at Disney
I had bunches of pants that needed hemming and a dress that needed straps shortened plus some other dull mending/repairs. I can't wait to get a chance to start making some fun stuff. I have all this new fabric! Plus, I have all the Patricia tunics I cut out before vacation and ran out of time to get sewn. I am looking forward to some fun sewing now that I have done all the stuff I have been putting off.
I guess I need to go check it out. Or maybe I shouldn't
Okay - I need opinions please!!!!
I'm going to make an apron skirt and top set(well, two actually) that is "Cat in the Hat" inspired . . . White Apron with the fishbowl appliqued on one of the pockets, orange fish appliqued on the top (which is white) . . . Which of these three fabrics should I use?
Evenly spaced red & white stripe? Wider red with narrower white stripe? Solid red?
