We're Going to Disneyland!!

The long awaited Disneyland vacation is just 24 hours away!

Ahnalin HAD to have a Dumbo dress.

After all, Dumbo is "Our" movie.

And of course, it had to be a "twirly" dress.

And she loves it!

The pattern was a cross between my old standby sundress pattern, 

Butterick 4715

and Olabelhe "Peyton's Pinafore".

The fabric was a multicolored cotton seersucker stripe

and the appliques are all colors of Kona Cotton.

The cotton rickrack is vintage and the package was labled

"35 cents".

I love this Dumbo!

I know she says it out of love, but Ahnalin

tells me I am "just like Dumbo's Mama!"

I am not sure if she means I look like an elephant, 

or I am crazy and should be locked up. 

I THINK it is that I sing "Baby Mine" to her.

Isn't Timothy Mouse adorable?

This little romper was vintage Daisy Kingdom fabric and

vintage rickrack.

The pattern was vintage too,  McCall's 8743,  and a size 5 was 

WAYYYYYYY  too short in the rise for my girl! 

So, instead of buttons and buttonholes,

I added wide ribbon for bows. 

This gave Ahnalin the needed length in the torso.

I am not crazy about this little outfit but

she loves it.

It has hidden side seam pockets, 

which she will likely fill with rocks as usual.

And then, of course, she NEEDED a Minnie Mouse outfit.

She requested I use Bonnie Blue "Hallie" as the pattern

because she loved this outfit so much.

Red is her favorite color now.

She told me that "Pink is in the dumps".

What?????

She told me that she NEEDED a picture 

of Minnie Mouse on the front with her next to her

and we found this design!

PERFECT! 

I just changed the colors of the fabrics and threads

and "Voila!"

I think she was tired of me taking pics at this point!

I had intended to make a Snow White outfit for her 

too, but after I got sick I decided that her "Alice"

costume from last Halloween would suffice.

And remember her "not scary pirate" outfit from 

Kindergarten Pirate Day?

Yeah, we are going to call that a Disney outfit too. 

Ok, I know I am cheating, but 

really the kid has more clothes than I do!

And for India......

I made her a t-shirt with Minnie Mouse in a 

graduation cap. 

Yep. That's it.

But she is going to wear capri jeans and Alice in Wonderland t-shirts.

She is taking some of her sundresses I have made, but

poor kid is so ignored by her seamstress mama.

Well, I suppose she could take a ball gown or two.....

Oh, and Ahnalin wanted to take her favorite sweater

for the evenings, but the neck had ripped out.

So, I repaired the neckline with some Michael Miller

polka dot bias tape. 

Perfect fix!

That is all for now.

I have to get back to packing and cleaning.

We leave in the morning.

India has a hospital appt. at U.C. Davis and then we head South!

Next post will be from Disneyland!!!!!!!

Please continue praying that I get well.
I am doing well but still so surprised at how tired and 

worn out I am. 

Please pray that India stays

well on the trip.

Thank you all!!!
