This past spring, we returned to Disney . . . this time taking ALL of the nieces and our parents. WHAT FUN!

And, when we begin to plan a trip to Disney, our “Sewing for Disney” scheming commences – in full swing.

If you have followed our blog for some time, you might remember our “Sewing for Disney” series {the recap of sewn garments can be seen HERE}. This might just be our favorite series to date!!  Such a fun concept …

The premise? Think of a Disney character, ride, theme park, item, etc. and give a “nod” to it. Fun!! RIGHT?!?!

As luck would have it, FIVE of the original 14 garments made a return trip this time around.

LG enjoyed being Snow White for the day at Epcot {Oliver + S, Swingset Top and Skirt}.

She also was able to wear our favorite creation sewn from “round 1″: Belle {Oliver + S, Ice Cream Dress}.

After we sewed a larger size of Oliver + S, Class Picnic Shorts, LG was able to eek some more wear out of Rapunzel / Pascal {Oliver + S, Popover Top and Class Picnic Shorts}.

Finally, she wore EA’s original safari attire {Oliver + S, Music Class Blouse and Skirt} to the Animal Kingdom one day.

CL even pulled off Tinkerbell {Oliver + S, Pinwheel Slip Dress} once more – this time, adding some “glitter shorts” . . .aka: pixie dust . . . {Oliver + S, Class Picnic Shorts} to the look. This character was actually her TOP CHOICE in what she wanted sewn for her return trip to Disney . . .

BRACE YOURSELVES, FRIENDS!!

BRAND NEW, “Sewing for Disney” posts are coming your way. . . and we are SUPER EXCITED about them!

**DISCLAIMER: Even if you aren’t planning a trip to Disney or even like Disney all that much, there will *hopefully* be something for everyone here!! So, please don’t discount this series before it begins.

As we prepared to sew for Disney, we asked each niece to list their 10 favorite Disney characters, movies, etc. We then took the list, brainstormed, divvied up the characters, and eliminated some of the overlap. Each child received their “top two” favorite Disney choices, as well as many others on their lists. One garment was a SURPRISE for LG, and not on anyone’s original list – however, it was ALL she talked about leading up to the trip, so we knew we had to make that particular outfit happen!

Interested in what to expect?? How about these “factoids” to whet your sewing appetite . . .

34 pieces made.

22 garments completed.

Any guesses to the new characters we sewed this round?? OR . . characters that were revisited?? We look forward to sharing our creations with you over the upcoming weeks, and would love to hear your thoughts, comments, inspirations, and character/pattern pairings throughout the “Sewing for Disney” series.

We hope our enthusiasm is contagious . . .
