When Hannah was smaller I used just random commercial patterns for babies that came with a bloomer. I bought them when they were 99 cents. Now that she is older and most bloomers don't come in her size I use Kari Mecca's Underclothes pattern. http://www.karimeaway.com/page.home
Omgosh.. in looking for her website I see she does make the pattern for the pettiskirts. I am definitely going to be getting that. I have the chiffon, and I adore her patterns. She offers such great tips and embellishments. Her Sewing with Whimsy book has the most adorable dresses in it. You guys really should check her out!


Oooooh.. Kari me away is selling chiffon by the roll. How lovely! http://www.karimeaway.com/products/588
My serger is calling out to me to buy that petti pattern and the chiffon that is precut. I wonder if you need just one roll. Guess I need to buy the pattern to make sure. I realize there are free tutorials, but patterns feel safer to me.

Here's a free tutorial on pettiskirts - they are Kaiya Eve's instructions. (Click on the picture for the video instructions)

Wendy, love your recent creations, especially your pooh skirt, AWESOME !!
Where is the Crocs outlet that you went to? We love Crocs but I prefer to be able to try them on rather than buying online.


hugs and prayers to all who need them.

Thanks!! I go to the Philadelphia Premium Outlets - might be a haul for you though!! THere is also one at Rehobeth Beach, DE.....Im a Jersey Shore Girl though!!! But there is the ferry......

What is GF?? I thought she was saying girl friend.

I THINK the GF that Sue was referring to is www.gymbofriends.com - I know Sue is on there, so it's just a guess.

I'm gonna go check out the link you posted. I really want to try a pettiskirt on my serger. Now that I've replaced the screw for my left needle that I lost because I didn't screw it in tight enough, I can actually try it now!

Oooh.. I hope I don't lose a screw. I am loving my serger. Where did you get an extra screw?? Does the dealer sell them? I'm just wondering.. I lose everything.
BTW.. I don't think gymboree is my friend. Everything is so expensive there. When I shop there I definitely will get in trouble with hubby.

Yes, I am a Martha Stewart addict. I saw that on the show and saw the online thing. It still seems kinda confusing to me. I love the detailed pictures she gives on her patterns, so I am hoping this one is that way. My local heirloom shop sells her patterns. I don't know why, but tutorials are hard for me to follow.. Like the one you posted about the double twirl. I want to make one, but just know I'm gonna mess it up. I am hoping you can help me along if I need it. The skirt I made for Disney on Ice was my first skirt I have ever made for Hannah. It was scarey for me. ALOT easier than I thought though. I did it by her measurements, and it actually fits. I am just shocked with myself.

 

[emcreative]

Yes, stay away from Gymboree! Don't get hooked in there like I did, they are evvvilll!

(In my defense, it's hard to find things I like for the boys, except for some at Gymbo. At most stores they are either the same boring thing over and over, or they are BEYOND ODD...and I only buy on SUPER SALE there!!! And usually to earn or spend gymbucks! That's an excuse, right? )

I am soo sorry

ok, finished today Super Girl... I like to call this one super jojo!!!!

Lori

Cute! Great job!


I have been lurking, and I am sure I have missed some, but everything posted is great. Cute Tink outfit! Love the precious dresses - I want that pattern next.
I made hubby a laptop sleeve with the pattern from YCMT. I won't post pics - its plain black w/ black zipper. But it was my first zipper! So, I am proud it works and look good.
I finally got DD dress done!!!! Thanks for your help in picking the striped fabric... I like how it turned out. She is napping so no model, but she had it on last night before I had the ruffle and ties on and didn't want to take it off, so thats a good sign.

Pics off my phone... the real camera needs to be charged.
So, I still need practice with gathering and ruffles and I think a ruffle foot (or whatever its called) would make life easier, but putting the bias tape on is that cause me the most grief. It looks a bit twisty... not sure if an iron would take care of that or not... I really didn't notice it til I looked at the pictures. I am hoping that when its on a moving 2 year old it will be harder to see the few things I messed up on
I promised DS a new tie this week also, that should be quicker than the dress

Everytime I go looking in there for a super sale it is still super not one sale to me. I guess it is just because I am used to making all of her clothes or buying super sale at wal mart and Target. I understand the thing with boys though. It is hard to sew for boys too.

Okay.. not sure how I missed this. Love it! That is adorable!

Cute dress! THat fabric looks so good together! Where did you get the jellyfish/starfish? That is adorable!

I have so many projects planned that I don't know which one to start. Anyone else have that problem??

 

[ibesue]

Depending on which program you have you should get a tutorial. That really can teach you how to digitize. I think the patchwork comes from Wally World. That is where someone on the forum said they got it. I think it is so cute. If you find it please get an extra 2 yards for me if you can!!! I can trade or paypal you. How exciting about the fabric mecca!! I would sooo get in trouble there.

I will talk more about Mecca in a bit! I actually only bought one piece of fabric and it wasn't what I was looking for! Anyways, I have a whole book to digitize, my brain just doesn't work that way! But I have learned a lot and I know one day I will sit down and do it! I found a cute Ariel that I want to make. Its different from the others as she has a wreath of sea shells in her hair.

I wanna be your friend on facebook! PM me with your last name and I'll friend you.

Here are a couple of outfits I made for a fellow Diser recently. I digitized Mickey, Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore myself.

OMGoodness they are all so cute! Again, I will be a tester if you need one!

Aww, Anna I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers.

GF is a gymboree site. Believe it or not there are many message boards for gymboree!

That Kari me away is a great site. I think the rolls of chiffon would be wonderful, but it would add up quickly!! Cutting the chiffon is my biggest fear!

Super JoJo is super cute!

see we all belong to gymbo sites!

Gymbo is your friend!!! Did you know that they have $7.99 shorts and tank tops right now?? And with a 20% discount its even better. Oh and they are earning gymbucks right now! You just have to be in the know and what a better place to learn than the gymboree message boards! I mean really, we all got bunch of stuff for 1.99 in Feb and it was brand new gymbo!

I am shamelessly asking you to *vote* for me!

My dd entered a Victoria's Secret on-line Mother's Day contest. Prize is a trip to NYC. I need votes! The easiest way to get to it is to go to her myspace... www.myspace.com/k8win
There's a picture of us, and under it three boxes...click on the one that says "vote", and you've voted!
shameless, I know, but if you get the chance, please????

Oh wow.. I might try to see if the one in New Orleans has the shorts and tank. Where do you get the 20 percent off coupon? I get their emails, but I didn't notice that. Maybe I will join the forum just so I can notice when the cheap stuff is going on.
OH, and I LOOOOVE Ariel. I hope you make the design so I can CASE your design. LOL!

Hi everyone!
I was just shown this thread. I never knew it was here!

I am a huge Disney customs fan. I can't sew to save my life but my DD and I love putting fabrics and ideas together and I have a few designers who are friends

People tease us all the time for the time and effort we put into the outfits but we ENJOY it so =p to them

On our upcoming trip my DD is starting to get out of the princess stage and more into the tween stage. We have come up with some ideas for great sundresses and are slowly watching them take shape. We focused on many of her favorite rides (TT dress, EE dress, RNR dress)
along with some camp rock stuff.

Anyway ~ just wanted to give a quick shout out as I hate lurking without giving an intro
I can't wait to see all of the adorable outfits!

Shouldn't you be sewing?

Those bridesmaid dresses are not going to make themselves. Although it would be pretty cool if they could.
