I finished the outfit. The skirt wasn't as bad as the top! Now, I have to make DD6's outfit. I am going to make her's slightly different.
This turned out soooo cute! I love the twirl!

Hi Cathy,
I always forget to say that I love your signature-I LOVE that song
USUALLY I try to take the stupid comments with a grain of salt, or difuse with humor. There are times however when the comment is particulary nasty or hurtful. And I might for a moment "forget" I am a Christian woman . But I think it is important for my DD to know that Mommy will always stand up for her. One comment comes to mind. We walked into a furniture store prepared to SPEND money. A "salesman" approached and amoung other comments said (right in front of my DD) "She's cute where did you get HER?" I loudly asked him (in front of all of his "buddies") "what you don't know where babies come from?" (which caused laughter for his buddies) I then proceeded to question HIS upbringing before going to his manager and "chatting" with him. The salesman was pulled off the floor and "counseled". We walked out of the store and have not been back. Sadly my DD remembers the event. Everytime we drive by that store she says, "that is where the mean man works that mommy made cry"
I just don't understand WHY people think it is ok to question/comment on children. I actually had a tee made (to wear to WDW) that says "you don't have the right to question my family".
HUGS to ALL the children and parents who have had to endure stupid comments.
Absolutely adorable!!! I love the hat and the shirt! And the bow story... too funny!!Here is my littlest dd. I made her a party hat and a onesie dress. But of course I forgot to take a pic of the dress itself and it's already in the wash. The hat says Phoenix's 1st Birthday....in the Disney font of course.
And this is my middle dd helping the baby.
Funny story about those bows in her hair. We went to walmart to grocery shop last night and this lady came up to me and wanted to know where I got my bows. I told her that I made them. (kicking myself that I didn't bring my business cards with me) well she said they were EXACTLY what she wanted for her daughter. I jokingly said that I'd sell her those. (the ones my dd was wearing) and she said I'll take them and handed me a shiny $10 bill. DD was kinda upset so I bought her some cookie dough and all was right with the world again.
You gals are cracking my up or is it cracky... The outfit is absolutely adorable! Great job!One of my DGD wore one of my first custom outfits to a Festival and came back very indignant(sp?). She told me that her Daddy tried to "sell" her outfit three times that day and she would have had to come home NAKIT!!!
From then on anytime she puts on one of my customs (my DGDs are my primary models so I make the prototypes in their sizes) she wags her finger at her Daddy and tells him he can't "sell" it while she is wearing it.

Oh for heaven's sake...get yourself back there and buy the whole bolt....and I will pay ya for at least 6 yds if it!!!!!!!!! Seriously..... please PM me if you can!I was checking out this thread today and saw this adorable dress. Hours later I was at our local Joann's and saw this fabric. It is much cuter as a dress than on the bolt. Great Job.
Ohhhh those are absolutely adorable and I love the matchy shirts underneath....so cute!Here are the outfits I made with the Mickey winter fabric I bought back in, oh, October, maybe? It only took me 3 months to complete.
DD4 showing the underneath of the skirt.
DD4, DD5 and DS2. THANKS for all the input for DS2's shirt. I went with Donald & Mickey sledding towards Goofy (top ball) and Goofy looking in a different direction (bottom ball). It's hard to see in the pic.
Back of the outfits. DS has Mickey & Donald throwing snowballs at each other.
And can you believe it - NO twirling pics!!!!!!!!!
OMG that pillowcase is to cute! I wish I would have seen it before I went to the movies tonight I was within walking distance to Kohls! OK we went and saw the veggie tales movie ... big surprise I didnt get her over alls anywhere near done. But I am going to work on them this week. I am at a stand still though because I cannot make a decision. Should I go all out and try and match thread on each color? Should I just use black or what about white? Also what about around the edges of the veggie fabric? I was thinking of going with a green that matched.

I am proud of myself-in my quest to use the fabric I have before I buy more......
Here is what I whipped up this evening (My model is sleeping)
I've noticed that about the red hair too. It really odd!I can't believe all the horrible things people have said to some of you. I've noticed that if a girl has red hair people usually love it, but if it's a boy they think it's unfortunate.
You are all so talented! I love the Princess Pillowcase dresses.
Here is something I did yesterday. Do you think it needs it needs anything?
Everybody keeps showing their pretty DD's in their pretty flowergirl dresses. So I have to show my DD in hers. It is also an ebay dress. This was from my wedding in june 2006.
DD is the one on the right and the other girl is my cousin's DD. They are the best of friends.
Thanks for the tip about the glue!! I may try to find some of that!!They look great! A lot of us on the bow board use something called Fabric Tac. It works great for holding the character clips together and a huge bonus is no burnt fingers!! You can find it at walmart or joanns.

Actually, I have it bookmarked for if & when that time ever comes. I'm hoping that it will be at least 7-8 years though. They both have to finish college, start their careers, meet the right man, get married, etc. (and not necessarily in that order).
That is so very very hurtful, and even more so since it came from her Grandma!!! I am so very very sorry that happened!Yep she did many times It was awful I tell you
SO, maybe we should all start taking a changes of customs for our kiddos into the park so when people ask, we can sell the clothes off their backs and put on the next custom! I wonder how many sets to be sold in a day would be the record!
I really like that outfit Elisa!! I agree that the ruffle would be adorable!
This is the outfit that I'm currently CASEing. It's a shame that it's on Voldemort for $185...it's crazy...I could make about 5 outfits for that much money...Anyway I finished the top, it's a pretty simple style. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the ribbon trim on the pants. Do you think it would look just as good with a red and white dot ruffle on the bottom instead?
She is so cute!!! I love that outfit! What a little cutie!!One of my DGD wore one of my first custom outfits to a Festival and came back very indignant(sp?). She told me that her Daddy tried to "sell" her outfit three times that day and she would have had to come home NAKIT!!!

OOOHH!!!! WAY ON TOPIC!!!! I found a peasant top that I'd cut out of Faeries material(leftovers from my FQ swap) before christmas. I am working on it NOW.

Hi everyone,
Im so excited . I just got a pillowcase in the mail that i brought off It was sent over from the states and i am so happy with it that i wanted to share a picture. I brought the pillowcase just mainly to use belles face and the rose on a dress but auroras faces is quite pretty so i am going to do a dress with her as well. Next to Belle is some fabric ( musk pink and pale pink with muck pink roses) i brought last week which i thought matched really well. The package that the pillowcase came in had a barcode from 'KOHLS' on it. Cinderella is on the other side.

I haven't ironed it yet, i pulled it straight out of the package to take a photo to show you all.

I haven't attempted applique myself, but there are lots of tutorials in the bookmarks in my siggy.I'm a beginner sewer, do you ladies think this is an outfit I could attempt? Really not so much the top as the pants? I loved the embellished overalls etc, is this relative easy to do? Any and all tips appreciated! THANKS

I didn't take pics or else I would be showing you all my grand accomplishment. I started at 11 am and finished at 10:15 pm and of course took a few breaks....garsh....the family had to eat.... but anyways, I made ruffled gouchoes and a peasant top to die for. Seriously, I am so proud of myself. And I tried shirring and using my new ruffler and everything. Tomorrow when she puts it on, I will take lots of pics!
OK good night all...stay warm..its freezing cold here!

Here are the beaded tiaras- The kids are in bed so my doggie volunteered to model for me
The black one is for my ds. My Dh just rolled his eyes- He did let him wear it out to breakfast yesterday though.
