It is done! I put it under costumes and named it "Pocahontas by mrsmiller".
You certainly don't have to wait until you have something sewed to post on here! You are welcome to just chat with us!!
You probably hear this all the time, but your daughter has GORGEOUS hair! Wow! I LOOVE your Insa imitation. I loosely imitated the scallops for a dress for Tessa, too.
They're all wonderful! Don't be a stranger.
Tessa is LOVING Megan's shirt! But, I think her shorts look cute, too! I'll have to check out that tutorial. Did you get it from the bookmarks, or should I add it?
Adorable!!
That turned out really pretty! Don't you love it when you find a perfect use for some treasured fabric?

I think that I am going to try a cinderella applique. I am going to look for fabric this weekend. I thought I was finished sewing for our trip but I had to change our Crystal Palace ADR because MK is closing early on Oct 4th. So now we are going to 1900 Park Fare. Has anyone been? Thus the need for a new princess outfit for the trip!
We LOVED 1900 park fare. If you want to read about it, click on the TR link in my siggy. The 1900 Park Fare chapter is entitled "SAWWWYYEERRRRRR....I'm coming back for you, Sawyer!"
I love the new non-disney outfit!!! Your house is gorgeous, too!
Wow ladies. I have spent hours the past few days reading this thread. You all are beyond amazing and inspiring!
I have never sewn before, and didn't even own needle and thread for minor fixes. But your customs are so incredible I wanted to try, in a small way, to CASE something from here. A few days ago there was an adorable white shirt with black buttons making Mickey's head.
I got a black tshirt for my dd8 and some lime green buttons (she loves green), thread, and some needles. Many thumb-pricks later, and some frustrated grumbling, and leftover glue tackiness I have a shirt made. It's my first ever sewing project! I never even got to take home ec in high school. I'm so excited I immediately put my dd in the shirt and snapped a picture so I could come and introduce myself, in awe, to all of you!
GREAT job! I love the lime green on the black. Your little girl is real cutie! If you want to post an image directly on to the thread, you just copy and paste the code.

second question - Singer's website has a ruffler foot - is it worth the price of $50 +s/h? I bought material to try making pettiskirts for my girls and I will be making ruffles for the first time over the next 2 weeks - practice material first then for the petti's but saw this and didn't know if it would be worth it.

I wouldn't pay that much for a ruffler! I've gotten them as cheap as $8 at JoAnn. They generally only have low shank rufflers there, though. Their regular price is $15 on ruffler feet. I bought a slant shank ruffler on ebay for $25 in the past. I should explain that there are 3 different types of shanks- low, slant, and high. I think a generic ruffler would fit on any machine, as long as you have the right shank.
[quote="kimmylaj, post: 26954656"]please help me make a decision, we leave for disney in 3 days and we have ressies for 1900 park faire. i dont have a custom for this meal and i am tempted to get some fabric and make one, but my mom bought my daughter some really cute dresses and i think she is hoping i will put her in a little cinderella one she bought her. what should i do?[/QUOTE]
I was going to go with the concensus and say I'd put the outfit from your mother on her. Is there anything you can do to fancy it up and make it more custom looking? Or, would your mom be hurt if you did that?
