Light. Summery. Classic. Subtle. Unique. That’s what we were going for. Vintage was not exactly what we had in mind. . . Yet with this hem length one might wonder! Thankfully, being a 3 year old has its perks . . . including short hem lengths, and ruffle panties and/or hideez. Our “Sewing for Disney: […]

There were a few projects in our “Sewing for Disney” plans that we felt confident would be “home run” sort of sews! The “Sewing for Disney: Tinkerbell” outfit was one of them. You see, we had made another Oliver + S, Pinwheel Slip Dress – seen HERE. And, EA couldn’t get enough of it. And although Emily […]

What’s a project without stretching your limits a bit? Am I right? We have admired the many enlarged animal graphic t-shirts from mini Boden . . . season in and season out. So, we decided it give it a try . . . .using an enlarged Disney character as our base for our “Sewing for Disney: […]

The “Sewing for Disney: Mulan” outfit might be considered a “selfish sew”. Mulan’s character is a personal favorite. Not that the movie hasn’t been enjoyed by the nieces . . . But sometimes enjoyment is skewed by trying to please those around you. For instance, EA has been claiming that Mulan is one of her […]

Let’s start at the very beginning . . .of the Disney princesses, that is. . . Snow White: the first {movie} Disney Princess . . . And, one that stole one girl’s heart in the movie . . . as well as in person! The first time the girls saw the movie, Snow White and […]

With every project, there comes a time when you get “cold feet” . . . . Sewing for Disney: Alice was that time for us. We knew how to truly give Alice a proper “nod” in our sewing projects, yet feared the result. So, we went low risk. Extremely low risk. So much so, Alice […]

Before we delved into our “Sewing for Disney” projects, we asked each niece to name their “Top Three” Disney Princesses. Not surprisingly, Elsa made both girls’ lists! **SPOILER ALERT** In an effort to be fair, we opted to NOT sew a Sewing for Disney: Elsa outfit for either niece. We had already decided that we […]

Merida was quite possibly the last Disney Princess introduced to the girls before heading to Disney. And, her character / story line immediately became a “niece favorite.” Maybe it was the accent. Maybe it was the spunky personality. Or maybe it was the fact she was a princess with a weapon . . . that […]

The planning of this creation proved to be quite difficult for us . . . Creating a Sewing for Disney: Ariel outfit {without it becoming a costume} that would be wearable through the summer . . . When in doubt, embroider. Am I right?!?! We sewed the Oliver + S, Badminton Dress {sz 3, with minimal […]

Who’s the leader of the club, that’s made for you and me??? M-I-C . . . K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!! That’s right, folks!! We made an outfit, with an ever so slight nod to the one and only . . . Mickey Mouse! It actually began as an outfit with Minnie Mouse in mind, but gradually shifted […]

“Who’s your favorite . . . Donald or Mickey?” CL: “Donald” Or as Donald Duck’s autograph proclaims, “Donald Duck #1″. When being inspired by Donald, how can one sew without the vintage sailor look? We did opt to go more subtle with a white tie, rather than Donald’s blazing red one. Nowadays, often the sailor look gets […]
