Sewing for Disney: Ariel {take 2}


Remember how we mentioned the girls’ wish lists for Disney characters to represent? Mmmm-hhhmmm. We say time and time again that we don’t sew much for LG. And for our upcoming Disney trip, we could have taken some sewing shortcuts along the way. Technically, she didn’t need many “new sews”.  Four of the original Disney […]

Sewing for Disney: Rapunzel {take 2}


We thought a good place to start this round of “Sewing for Disney” was with the four characters that were revisited! That’s right!! Four of the original characters sewn were requested once again for our return trip. There were a few others of the original group requested, but they were much further down on the […]

Sewing for Disney RETURNS!!


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 […]

Disney: What Worked for Us . . .


Forgive us . . . this may be our most rambling post to date! Yet, we want to “document” some helpful hints / suggestions for those heading to the “Most Magical Place on Earth” {or, better yet – for us . . . whenever we make a return trip!}. When we began to plan our […]

“Sewing for Disney”: RECAP


Our “Sewing for Disney” sure was fun!!! For us, anyway :).  We truly hope you enjoyed the change from our “normal, day-to-day” sewing, and were inspired by some of the “looks” of our trip.   As “slow sewists”, we knew we had a daunting task to sew each girl 7 Disney inspired garments leading up to […]

Sewing for Disney: Safari {O+S, Jump Rope Dress}


The FINAL installment of “Sewing for Disney” is none other than CL’s absolute FAVORITE outfit of the trip. And, the one that she still requests to wear time and time again {aka: her “SHAFARI dress” – yes, according to CL, it’s SHAFARI . . . not SAFARI}. For “Sewing for Disney: Safari #2″, we sewed […]

Sewing for Disney: Safari {O+S, Music Class}


Accessories, accessories, accessories were a LARGE part of our “Sewing for Disney: Safari #1″ {as well as Safari #2} look . . . We sewed EA an Oliver + S, Music Class Blouse and Skirt {sz 5}. And, while this ensemble fits her for now, hindsight tells us we should have lengthened the blouse by 1/2 […]

Sewing for Disney: Cinderella


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: […]

Sewing for Disney: Tinkerbell


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 […]

Sewing for Disney: Rapunzel


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: […]

Sewing for Disney: Mulan


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 […]

Sewing for Disney: Snow White


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 […]

Sewing for Disney: Alice


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 […]

Sewing for Disney: Anna


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 […]

Sewing for Disney: Merida


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 […]

Sewing for Disney: Ariel


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 […]

Sewing for Disney: Mickey Mouse


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 […]

Sewing for Disney: Donald Duck


“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 […]
