Disney Dress: Easter

I apologize, I fell off the blog posting boat while working on my outfits for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weeked. But since I am currently out of fabric from all the outfits I made for that trip and also my upcoming trip to Disney for the Princess Half Marathon, I figured I should start posting some of my outfits again.  I decided to share the Easter dress I made for myself first since I will not be wearing this dress at Disney.  The fabric I used was cotton lyrca from BCD fabrics from her surprise Easter retail. I think this fabric is absolutely adorable. I will add the link to the website  here  and the link to the Facebook page  here . Unfortunately there was very limited retail of this fabric so I do not think there is any left.  For the dress itself, I mashed together the Wiggle Dress and Sweetheart Dress from Patterns for Pirates.  The top is the off the should top from the Wiggle Dress. I will link the Wiggle Dress pattern  here   I love the off the shoulder top, there is ela

Fall Mini Cosmic Capsule

When Patterns for Pirates, Made for Mermaids, and Coles Corner and Creations announced their Fall Mini Capsule contest I knew I had to participate.  For the contest, we needed to sew 9 pieces from their patterns that we can mix and match to create different outfits for the fall, and with my increasing collection of space themed fabric I knew I had to create a Fall Mini Cosmic Capsule. 

For my capsule, I made 4 pairs of leggings with contoured waistbands, 2 dresses, 2 dolmans, and 1 cardigan using the following patterns from Patterns for Pirates. 







I cannot wait to mix and match all these pieces into different outfits this fall. I have a few of the outfits I put together below. 


For this first outfit, I have on the one Pumpkin Spice Dolman I made. The fabric is the Moon Phases Panel from Zenith and Quasar.

The Peg Legs were created using the Black Single Brushed Polyester from Sly Fox Fabrics.  


For the second outfit, I mixed and matched the Peg Legs from the first outfit with this beautiful Sweetheart Dress. The fabric is the Galatic Garden fabric from Zenith and Quasar. 

I also added the Carefree Cardigan to the outfit. The fabric for the cardigan was gray knit fabric from Walmart. 


For this third outfit I have on the second Pumpkin Spice Dolman that I made. The dolman was made with some black knit fabric from Joann Fabric. 

The second pair of Peg Legs was made with the Nebulous Swim fabric from Zenith and Quasar. 


For the fourth outfit, I have on the same Pumpkin Spice Dolman as above but swapped out the Peg Legs for the pair I made using the Carina Nebula fabric from Zenith and Quasar. 


For the fifth outfit, I have on my second Sweetheart Dress. I created this using the black viscose fabric from Sly Fox Fabrics. 

This dress also pairs perfectly with the Carefree Cardigan.


For my final outfit, I have on the same Sweetheart Dress as before but added my final pair of Peg Legs. This pair of Peg Legs was made from the Cosmos DBP from The Fabric Geeks. 

I had a lot of fun creating all of the pieces for my capsule. I cannot wait to wear everything once it starts to cool down. My next project lined up is to create my third outfit for my upcoming trip to Disney. A sneak peak of the fabric is below!

Ordering from Lush UK

Okay, so I know forever ago I posted about an order that I placed on the lush UK website. But I really just want to make this blog post about what it is like to order from the lush UK website, because I feel I had gone in a little blind when I did. The only reason I wanted to order from the lush UK website in the first place was because they had the Easter stuff way before the North American website did, but I never realized how much cheaper it can actually be to order from their UK site either. Anyway lets get started with the facts. One thing that is different on the UK website is that you can buy the fresh face masks, but this is something I do not recommend because with how long shipping can be your mask may not get to you within three weeks, and with it not being refrigerated that whole time it just seems like a bit of a waste. Another random fact is that for the UK website you need to add a message saying what samples you would like to get in your package, bu

Disney Outfit #4 - Minnie Mouse Shorts

I do not think I mentioned it before but part of my upcoming trip to Disney will be a 4 night Disney Cruise so for my fourth outfit, I created this super comfy shirt and shorts to wear while we are on the ship.  The fabric for the shorts is a woven fabric from Joann Fabric. The fabric used for the shirt is a knit fabric from Joann Fabric.  The pattern I used for the shirt is the Sweet Tee from Patterns for Pirates, which can be found  here .  I love this shirt pattern. It has dolman style sleeves that are bands so you do not have to hem them. I think I finally mastered added a neckband to shirts now too.  The pattern I used for the shorts was the Linen Loungers from Patterns for Pirates, which can be found  here .   These shorts are so super comfy. I am definitely going to use this pattern to make more shorts for the cruise. Even though they are made with woven fabric, they fit really well, do not feel constricting in anyway and they even have an elastic waistband for added co
