In the Spring of 2011, our family was headed on a Disney Cruise (best vacation ever, btw!) and I wanted some matching Disney outfits for my girls. Being the frugal shopper that I am, I refused to pay $50 for outfits (I now know why custom creations cost that much) that I wasn't sure would ever be worn again, especially by my 9 year old. So after much searching I thought, I can do this myself...or at least try. My wonderful friend sat with me and showed me how to make Ruffle Pants and I was completely bit by the sewing bug! I couldn't believe that out of fabric I was able to create something that my daughter was able to wear! What a satisfying accomplishment!
I found a pattern for a sweet halter top and stumbled my way through all the lingo and terms I had never heard before, but I managed to get through it. Here is a picture of my very first outfit on my youngest daughter. Later, I appliqued Minnie Mouse on the shirt I was just so excited for her to try it on I couldn't wait to take a pic. The first, but oh so many more outfits were to come!
