Disboutiquers Part 12 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[Stephres]

Marlo, I was waiting to post this until I had a better picture of Megan but I made her the sleeveless version and I think it came out great. She really likes it but had a bad sunburn the day she tried it on so she was not happy.

I think it would be a great dress for all girls. The sleeveless version is especially easy and fits perfectly. It took me less than 2 hours from beginning to end.

The PTA meeting went ok. We ended on time so I was happy! I hate when meetings drag on and on.

I talked to some moms about the silent auctions and one thinks I should make the little wristlets that the girls like and the other thinks I should make hippie jeans that all the moms like. So I will probably do both, since I can't make a decision. Thanks for all your input!

Hi everyone! Love the new Carla Pattern!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Revrob and Jammy those dresses are to die for! Seriously cute and it looks so professional...you would never know it was easy!
Phins - love the diaper cake! how many diapers did that take to make???

Here's my Precious Dress....I am going to applique Belle on the apron when I get a chance...its supposed to look like Belle's Provincial dress...

I actually made the top separate from the dress...this pattern is very versatile....

and here's the back....

That is just beautiful. I saw the pattern in the newsletter. I don't have a girl so I get to skip it. It would make a cute dress for Big Give! You did a super job.

I still haven't sewn yet but doing spring cleaning.

Awww, the poor thing, she looks just miserable. I hope her sunburn gets better soon.


The dress is great and I can't believe 2 hours. Hey, where is the little dog?

So cute! I saw that on FB and I thought I commented about it! I love it! I also Love the little look on her face! Sorry about the sunburn but that look is so stinkin cute!

I think the wristlets are a great idea for the auction!

I'm feeling pretty bad. I didn't even BUY Aisling an Easter dress because it's always so cold out here on Easter and she usually has to wear boots, hat, winter coat covering it so I figured she could wear a dress she already has. S(Sick of wasting money on a frilly Easter dress that only gets worn to church and dinner at my aunts) Well weather right now is predicting 60 degrees for Sunday

Right there with ya. We always hunt for eggs in the snow. It is hard because Hunter can see where I went by my shoe prints in the snow banks. But I just step all over the property. This year I going to hide a lot in the barn and sheds.

So, I've just about finished my first ever Big Give outfit.
I still need to go and get buttons but that will have to wait until Easter.
I very foolishly gave up buying craft supplies for Lent! So, I'll get some buttons on it just before I ship it out next week.
Eleora is modeling it for me. She's a little older than the girl it's for and slightly bigger but it should give us a good idea of what it will look like on her.

Also got buttons on a bowling shirt finally so I'll post some pics of it as soon as I can!

The dresses are just great and I love the capries! Can't wait to see the bowling shirt too.

Hi Ladies!

I'm considering purchasing a new pattern from YouCanMakeThis.com. I'm considering the Simply Sweet. Also thinking about the Peasant top/dress. Do you think the bowling shirt is worth it? Is it better than what I would get from Simplicity, etc?

Just looking for opinions. I'm also looking for a pattern that has shirring on the back. Any suggestions.

I love all the YCMT patterns but they are so darn pricey!!!

They are a bit pricey but if you are a beginner they will give you the skilz to progress. The instructions are very detailed and the patterns will give you confidence. After sewing with YCMT for a bit I can now do commercial patterns without much problems. The bowling shirt is great and if you need help just ask me. I have made about 10 of them for DS.

I LOVE these! Dallas loves to make them too!

 

[tanyaandallie]

Oh wow. I didn't realize THE Carla posted here!! How exciting! It's been a long time since I read here regularly. You ladies are too fast paced for me, lol!! But, we have a trip coming up in 17 days and I have to get to sewing!!

I think I'll bite the bullet and buy a few patterns. The bowling shirt for sure b/c it's so darn cute. Plus, ds is only 4 so we would have many years of use out of it! I rarely sew for him so it would be nice to make him a few things.

 

[t-beri]

Thanks so much for the compliment on the dress. It IS such a classic look, which is what I so love about this pattern. BTW- the piping - guess how I did that? YEP! On my SERGER! WOO HOO! Love that thing!

I showed this dress to DH who said "Yeah, cause you can't have too much red w/ white dots" very sarcastically. my reply???"NOPE!!!" Not that he though YOUR dress had too much Minnie dot, I think it was a comment on our little society.

YOU DID THE PIPING ON YOUR SERGER???? I clearly need to learn how to use my serger.

Just booked our December trip

We'll be there December 6 - 10.

I'm so excited about all the clothes I get to make for DD! Now to reflect on 2 years of great ideas posted here for inspiration!

The clothes are the best part! I have been getting ideas and inspiration for a while now. I have a few already planned out too! Of course, going 8 days and needing at least 2 outfits a day means I need to get started. It usually takes me forever because I have to sew in the few 5 min here and there I get!

We'll all have to keep a look out for each other - sounds like there's going to be a number of us going!

I need opinions please! I am making my DD16m a skirt out of this Curious George fabric book panels. She is 31" tall. I am trying to make the skirt look like her sisters skirts - multi layer tulle twirl skirt -(I have Juliet's fairies one finished & will post in a little bit) - i could make the panels 8" & still include all of the actual picture. DO you think this a 13" skirt is too long for her? It would be almost ot her ankles. I could probable make it 11" and just make her ruffles 1/2" and her waist band only an inch. WHat do you think?

Oh, poor girl. She does look miserable.
The dress though is great! I'm impressed that you had it done in two hours! Wow! Can't wait to get this pattern.

 

[surfergirl602]

I am so aggrivated! I bit the bullet last night and ordered 60 dollars worth of patterns last night from YCMT.com, and my printer has decided to not print!!!! It "jams" whenever i go to print it. The thing is, it doesn't jam, the paper goes half way up and then just stops! There isn't anything in there - earlier in the day I was printing like a mad woman. I am trying to make my first piece of clothing - and now I can't get the pattern!! AAAHHH!!!

 

[locolala]

Man I wish I was a kid so I could wear all the cute stuff you guys make, lol. I'm not artsy AT ALL so I can't even make my own teeshirts haha. You ladies (and gent) are incredible

Of course you can't ever have too much red w/white dots!

The piping was very easy to make on my serger. You just buy the cord and cut a strip of fabric, fold in half, put the cord deep in the fold of the fabric and run it through the serger using a cording foot. It stitches right up to the edge of the piping. It's really cool!

My oldest loves those things!! We've actually got a box out that they were playing with yesterday.

Poor thing! She does look miserable! Hope the sunburn heals quickly. Dress looks wonderful!!! And yes, where is that Scrappy?

Must get a cording foot!

 

[froggy33]

Must get a cording foot!

I've also found that an adjustable zipper foot works as well - if you have that already. You follow revrobs instructions except you use that foot butted up right next to the cording. This can be done on a regular sewing machine. If I can get around to it tonight I can post the foot and the piping I did. Everything may have piping now its so easy and fun!

Thanks for that info. I never thought to use the zipper foot.
