I did the mickey head with Jedi mickey for Daniel also. I put Daniel on the left ear and 2010 on the right. I don't have an extra shirt so Daniel will just have a few Jedi Mickeys.
cydswipe in honor of your first Big Give, I'm trying my first quote.
The outfits you made look very comfortable, and I especially like the soft blue material. Congratulations on making your first Big Give outfits. I'm still working up my courage to sew clothes. Lucky you, you have the first set under your belt!
Thank you for the encouraging words... it nice to have positive reinforcement!
Get yourself a reliable sewing machine and a good seam ripper and START sewing. One seam at a time. The people on this forum are very helpful. Start with something small. Check out youcanmakethis.com. Traditional patterns drive me crazy, but ebooks are my best friends!

I never felt bows worked for Zoe so I never tried to make any aside from some small korkers to match her soccer uniform in kindergarten.
I'll PM you.
Thank you. The bows were fun but I doubt I'll do many. I already have a problem with buying more supplies than I'll likely use so adding something new to buy isn't a good idea. I made these with what I had on hand but I know I could easily get carried away buying all kinds of fun ribbon.
To answer #1 - The Feliz is definitely a lot of dress. LOL It's one reason I don't make that style anymore. Do you have your sash in place yet? When I've made the Feliz, one thing I did different than the instructions was to sew the sash end between both layers of the dress rather than just sewing it into the seam of the overdress. I felt that is a more secure attachment method. The once the sash 'casing' is created, the sash then becomes almost like a drawstring to allow the dress to fit more closely.
Here are a few new things I've been working on. I did a lot of sewing but not a lot of sleeping along the way. LOL
I can't remember if I shared this variation of the Vida here yet. I've had the idea in mind for awhile to replace the back and sides with layered ruffles. I finally had time to actually make one in January (I think LOL):

This is the newest version of that style.
First of all, I want to say, when I grow up I want to be able to sew half as good as Miss Lisa does! (yes, I know I am much older than you, but still haven't grown up ...out, but not up LOL!)
Second, please remember us and my GD2 as we head into surgery today. This will be her fourth out of possibly five surgeries for her little foot. Each and every time she has had problems with the anesthesia. First, the epidural doesn't work, then they end up giving her morphine and she has problems coming out of it! They are insisting on sending her home after the surgery today. Even if they end up combining the last two surgeries into one, (meaning lengthening the bone with rods and lengthening the Achilles tendon).
Thanks for all the suggestions on the Easy Fits for her. We have decided to wait until we see what cast she ends up with to make any...especially since they go together so quickly!
I can hardly wait to get back into a regular schedule of sewing! I am finally starting to kick this 'crud' that I have had for over 6 weeks. My DIL is taking her laptop to the hospital today...I asked her if I could take my 'Bubba'...at least then I could get some work done...I have 96 T shirts to make and 18 dresses....

Headed to Hilton Head for a week. No sewing for me for a little while.
Be back home on Mar 14th, although I will have internet so I will probably be checking in to see what new inspiration you all have for me. Everyone's work here is great!
Wanted to share these Big Give SeaWorld outfits for Noah's family all together:
Here is the outfit I made for the same Big Give (for little sister)

As usual all your stuff is amazing, but this is to die for! I have done and like the "butt ruffles", the side ruffles totally add to it! I also love how your design is 3-D with the flowers and butterfly!
LisaZoe.......Your skills are truly amazing. Everything that you have posted the past few days are so beautiful. I'm in awe.
I am just speechless!! Those are all so amazing.
AMAZED as always....
Thanks for continuing to post here. I don't hang out on Facebook. And finding your creations posted is always a joy!

The Mickey and Minnie things are just amazing but your Vida's OMG! You have such patience and it's so inspiring! I don't know if I could spend that much time on one dress. How long does something like the Bambi dress take you? I don't know how you do it but your results are astonishing! Just amazing, so talented!
Wow! I Love the Bambi Vida! It's beautiful! Would you mind sharing the directions for doing the ruffles? I know it is probably fairly simple....I think I am just over complicating it in my mind!
OMG...OMG...OMG....all of them are absolutely beautiful. But I have to say, Bambi is my favorite one. I LOVE IT!!! And the ruffles....WOW..that changes the whole appearance of the dress. I am fixing to make my DGDs Easter dresses from the VIDA pattern. I may just have to try that.
Awesome! I really, really, really love the dress!!
At our JoAnn's, you can use as many coupons as you want in one transaction, just not more than one of the SAME coupon. So if you get more than one copy of the flyer in the mail, you can use that, you can use one from the paper, you can use one from a competitor, and you can use one from the flyer they sometimes put in your bag at the store. You can even use differnent ones from the flyer at that same time as long as they are not duplicates of the same.
My JoAnn's DID stop taking my online HobbyLobby coupons. They now say it has to be the one printed in the paper.
I second that on the big pictures! I love to see all the details of everyones creations!
Here's the raglans I made for the boys for Disney on Ice...I would of had pictures from Disney on Ice, but being the bubble brain I am, I packed the camera up and then left it to sit on the sofa as I walked out the door This is my first attempt at a Carla C ebook, and I'm hooked! I can't believe how easy these were to make, and to think I was so intimidated by an e-pattern seems silly now. I think I may make some bowling shirts for this summer
Ohhh, and a few have mentioned about where to buy covers for your thread spools. I got hooked on this thread a coupld years ago called Hemingworth. The shine is so shimmery, the thread looks glittery in the sunlight. The best part is they come with built in dust covers and handy little rubber plugs to hold the thread in place so it won't unravel on your shelving. And you don't need to use a thread cap when you're working with it because it just flows perfectly out of the top of the casing while your machine works- you leave the clear plastic sleeve on and just remove the rubber plug when in use.
Anyone else love Hemingworth? Man! I should get an endorsement deal for how much I talk about it!
where do you find the Vida patterns? Daisy would love those...
I've never heard of that thread - but man does it ever look cool!

Hi
My name is Stephanie and I am in awe of finding a board that combines two of my favorite things. SEWING and DISNEY. You guys are amazing. I love to sew and last year we went to Disney for the first time. We are now addicted. I think I make about 75% of what my DD8 wears. BTW her name really is Daisy. Here are a few of her outfits. As I looked for pictures to post I realized we took pictures of her and characters, her and attractions, but I don't have a lot of great pictures of her in her clothes. I hope you enjoy. I know I will enjoy reading this thread through!
Thanks ladies!! I guess you all know where I'll be on Tuesday when both boys are at SCHOOL!!
I didn't know they took competitor coupons too...I have a few Hancock flyers lying around her too...hmmmmmm

I absolutely love it, it's my favorite embroidery thread and it's the shiniest polyester thread I've ever seen. It's not really much more than a spool of Robison Anton either...I think I pay around $6 a spool. It is tricky to find though...only two shops around here carry it. I bought just one spool at first, because I wasn't sure how leaving the case on would/could work and such and I raved about it so much that my DH bought me 30 spools for my birthday and hid them around the house like Easter eggs
