This is so pretty! I don't remember it!

I may not have posted it. It was about this time last summer. I made 4 princess sets using pillowcases and got some of Emily's friends to model them together. I had bling and matching bows made for them all too. (They were all the first appliques I did on my new machine. I tested my new Kenmore on these. )

This is my neice - I love the necklace Kelly made!! It's my all time fav!!​

The bling!

Opinions please!!!

I made a skirt last year and loved how it came out. Not long after I tried a second with different fabric and it still sits unfinished because I wasn't happy with how it was looking. Since then I haven't tried again so I decided to try to see if I could. I'm just not sure about it. In some ways, I like it but it's just not quite what I was hoping for. Here's the first one I made:

Here's the newest (shown over a pettiskirt):

The first skirt was a smaller size than the latest so I'm thinking the difference in length is what I'm reacting too. I also think maybe the pinks of the fabrics I used are too much the same tone so there's not enough contrast for visual interest.

I'd love your honest critique of this skirt and any ideas for what I might do to improve on it.

THANKS!

Okay, I nned to know if this is a tutorial or did you just do the skirt on your own. I love it and want to do a version
Thanks,
Christi

We needed a rally shirt. Everyone in the house had a LSU shirt for the big game except for my DD. I whipped this one up in 45min before our company came over.

Very cute!

Those are Gorgeous. I love that you did a different style for each dress.​

 

[MinnieVanMom]

It is the Emma Swing Top from youcanmakethis.com. I really liked the pattern but I have to tell you it is open in the back and I know that is not for everyone:

It is really cute! I know about the open back but I heard it was so hot down there.

They were the first appliques I did on my new (then) machine. My old singer did not applique well. Cinderella was done on the singer and if you looked at them side by side you'd see the difference. The princesses were cut out from pillowcases.

You need a Baby Lock!

Oh don't I know it! Unfortuntately, this dress:

just cost me nearly $800. Yes, our kitty decided to eat the leftover 6 inches of gold bias tape (bottom of dress). It nearly cost me $4000 as he was heading into surgery but after 3 days of not eating finally scarfed down a whole bowl of food. Thankfully!!! Anyway, there went my Baby Lock.

Stupid question: is there a pattern that correlates to the build a bear animals? Megan wants a matching outfit for her build a bear dog and I think the american girl size would be too tight. What do you guys use for stuffed animals (please don't say you wing it!)?

Yes thankfully the spots are healing we now have fading brown patches. I know she is not contagious anymore but her poor skin looks so bad still I still don't want to take her out. Gotta love eczema in the florida humidity LOL.

LOL! I wing it! I was telling this to Marlo the other day! I just took a BAB shirt that I had bought and laid it out and cut around leaving a seam allowance. Then for the front (it was a button up shirt) I overlapped plenty on each side to fold it in and add buttons.

I also did boxers the same way. For the shirts you just need a front and back piece (no sleeves separate) and it works out well.

Sorry my answer was not exactly what you wanted!

I have a pattern for the BAB it is Simp 4624 I don't think I have used it so I can't tell you how well it works. But it says for bears 15in and 18 in.

Hi All! I am quite crafty, but don't really sew. However, I came across this Mickey scarf, and really want to learn how to make one for our upcoming December trip. I PM'd the poster, but haven't heard back any details. Do any of ya'll have suggestions on how to make one of these? Do you think that she made the whole scarf or just did the applique? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
