ha ha, the ruffles... definitely an accomplishment! Not sure what has possessed me to start on two new dresses, other than my sweet DD who has worn the princess one down and loves to twirl - also has a sentimental 1st Mickey Bar stain on it (memories). I wish I had a serger, would for sure make my life easier! It is amazing how much fabric these take. For the Marie Aristocats dress I am just doing the ruffles on the sides, so I'm anxious to see how that turns out.....Oh my lands.....I just did two ruffles on my serger and top-stitched them down, I need to order a bit more of one of the fabrics for the bottom ruffle and I'm already tired! And I have a plain front panel! I bet you were really excited about A) All the cute and B) The accomplishment! when that dress was finished!!
These are some outfits I made for a couple of little girls I know who are going to Disney World next week.
The scalloped hem is SO SWEET! I love that!These are some outfits I made for a couple of little girls I know who are going to Disney World next week.

Not sure if this is where to post this LOL so I have a 7yo girl that is obsessed with all things frozen (well duh right)... so earlier this year we embarked on the "must find Elsa for Halloween"... you can imagine how successful this was...
I couldn't find anything I liked and then the light bulb dinged... my SIL designs costumes (like for real) so I enlisted her on my journey.. what she created from scratch is amazingly beautiful.. it isn't short and actually has a train cape behind it which my husband begged for it to be removable lol She is shipping it to us Thursday so next week I will actually be able to show my daughter in it!
But for now - just had to show this off
and the princess eagerly awaiting its arrival...
Ohhh my gracious; I was just about to say the same as Dawnlight about the apple buttons! And nice breathable cotton, too, that's very smart. I love those dresses, and I love how they cross in the back! You've been busy!
I just made this for our Akershus visiting day, I hope it makes for some awesome character pictures. Don't worry, I got permission from Brianna Garcia, the artist, to make this for personal use.
I love, love, love the Snow White dress. DD is obsessed with Snow! Ditto, what patterns did you use, super cute! I have been searching for a good flutter sleeve sundress pattern! The Alice dress is so precious, and I am partial to Eeyore. Just love them, and all in 3 weeks?!? Amazing!
Some are done with an embroidery machine and some are done with a sewing machine. The ones on a sewing machine are called "hand appliqué " and there is a very good tutorial on how to do that on the first page of this threadCould anyone help me with some questions about Embroidery/sewing machines? I would like to start sewing/embroidering and was wondering when you see all these cute shirts with the black Mickey heads do you use a embroidering machine or sewing machine? Do you make like a patch then attach it to a shirt ???or just cut fabric out and fuse it to a shirt? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
I haven't been on the Dis in ages, but I thought I would drop in to share with you some of the clothes I have made for my daughter for our trip to WDW in three weeks time!
And finally for MVMCP:
I also made a little something for me...
I had to take a break from sewing after that one, it was really cute though
