*CLOSED*MOVED*Disboutiquers Part 11 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes we sew

[jham]

Here are a couple of mini dismeets:

The Lilys after getting their first haircuts ever (true, I swear) at the barbershop:

Luke and Tessa finally meet: (he doesn't look happy or anything does he?)

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I love all the cute pictures and the trip reports from your dis meet! The kids are so dang cute.

I did keep going today because I knew this was going to be a shirt that would take several tries. This is the very first one so I know it is bad. DH did print in reverse for me and I also need to fix a few things but Hunter is so sweet he just loves it.

These kids are just adorable and so cute. I love the hair. It looks like it was a great meet.

Hunter lost his first tooth last evening. He wanted me to tye a string and then attach it to the cat I had the cat held down and it got away so I just ended up using my fingers.

The tooth fairy came and left him 1 of every coin and $1. The tooth right next to it is going to be out before we leave.

I only wish I had some Disney dollars to give him.

Awwwww, that is tooo cute!!!! Love all your outfits!!

Here is my first Simply Sweet. The top fits better without a shirt under it- This is the size 2. Easy Fit pants, size 3, with 1 inch added to the top and 1 inch subtracted from the bottom, before adding the cuff.

You Did a GREAT JOB!!! SHe looks adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Quilters - I want to make this for my 17 year old neice - how do you think you take into account for the triangles - would making my squares an inch bigger do the trick??????Do you think overall 10x10 squares would come out to a good size?(Im so not a math whiz!!!)

CINDEE!!!
I was really just joking about stop posting terrible pictures of me! Sorry! I think all pictures of me are terrible. and I was really joking, I hope I'm not the reason the pictures are gone!

All Disboutique meeters, you may post photos of my kiddos, but if you post photos of me, please photoshop 50 pounds off, okay? But if not, that's okay too. post away.




Breakfast of champions! I can't believe she is growing up soooo fast!

I just got back at 1:30 this morning and am doing nothing I should be (unpacking, laundry, taking Seth to basketball ) but I am uploading nearly 900 photos to the computer. I'm still trying to decide if I'll do a TR or not. I do have lots of customs I didn't have time to post photos of before I left though, so I'll try to get something into photobucket.

A trip report is a must! You one free pass on TR's, but NOT this time! We'll give you 3 days to get caught up before we expect it to start.

HMMM, HeatherSue where is your trip report? Tom?? I think Cindee has posted alot of pictures so you are off the hook and you live so close! Who else am I missing? Stacy, I'll let you slide with Kristine's, you do have to add your take though.

These are really cute. I don't remember that pole outside. Is it somewhat new?? We ended up getting Lin's hair cut at the Grand Floridian. It was by far the most expensive hair cut he has ever had which I expected, but it is the best by far ever too! I was highly impressed.

Luke and Tessa are a match made in heaven!

I think this turned out great! If the kiddo likes it then it is the best!

I would go 11x11 to allow for a bit of a seam allowance/fraying which would make it throw size 50x60 ish which is the standard size disney and most others are made.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

If you look at my siggy you see the autism puzzle pieces in a mickey head.

I was wondering if I should make a shirt or two for "difficult" days with DS. Hopefully people will just see the shirts and then know why------ is happening. Fill in the blank.

I just bought some of the fabric on Sat and could make two shirts???

Thanks so much - what do you think about the triangly (is that a word? ) pieces?????? I am stumped - Do you think a teen would like this? she seems to LOVE anything with hearts, and her birthday was the 13th (i know.....but we havent' celebrated her bday yet - lol)

So cute- were you thinking of like a mickey head shape of the fabric on a tshirt? I think that would be adorable!!

I think the puzzle is really cool looking. To be honest with you, I didn't know that it represented autism. I may be way behind the times, though. I think it'd be a cool shirt, regardless!

Yes, I think a teen would like this. I also was thinking if you didn't want to 11x11, not sure if that extra inch makes a difference much, but you could add an extra row of white all the way around, that way the red wasn't touching the edges. Probably more work.

I think the triangly just sew together 2 triangles, but they have to be cut a bit bigger to fit right if that makes sense. I sometimes wonder if I make sense? I have these quilt things called thangles and you can use them to quickly cut the perfect triangle like pieces to make perfect triangles.

ooohhh, I LOVE the idea of the white border around - that'd just be more white squares - easy peasy!!!

It is the size of the triangle pieces that I am unsure of - like would I cut 12x12 squares and cut them in half, swap colors and then sew them together to make an 11x11 square??? would that work????? thanks for working this through with me!!

Hi!

I have been checking in on this thread for a while now, trying to come up with some ideas for my next trip.

I have a few questions-when you make the T-Shirts with the Mickey Head out of fabric, Do you wash both the fabric and the T-Shirt first? Neither or just one?

I just finished making a dress for my niece. How do I go about posting a picture?

That sounds perfectly smart! I am sure there is real method to know how big to cut it , but that would work. Test one of course to make sure it is 11x11 with the triangle being right, but I can't imagine you would need to go bigger.

 

[my*2*angels]

I just think the picture on them in the stroller here is cute too!

Those pictures are FABULOUS! I LOVE the one of the two of them kissing!

My favorites are by the old door! They are all so cute!

Thanks guys! I loved these pics, but it made me sad to see how big they both are getting!

Wanted to say I love all of the dismeet pics! Looks like everyone had such a great time!

Jahm.......CUTE pics of the kids! Are you glad to be home, or wishing you were still there??

Here's a picture of the packs that I have

And a little closer up of on specific page

You can see - they're all the same color, but different background patterns. They're not cardstock weight, more patterned paper weight.

I LOVED that I could get this in any color from CTMH. I need to find a place that I can purchase all of the different designs, but all in the same color, and not multi-colored. Make sense?




LOVE how this turned out. I had to go buy that fabric because everyone was talking about it. I've washed it, but not cut it out and started to sew anything yet.

OK, now that I know what to look for, I'll keep my eye out for ya!

 

[jham]

So, did Luke and Tessa go to City Hall and get married while they were there?

No, but that would've been a cute photo op!

I am now working on the applique and I have noticed that on tight little circles when I stop and move the fabric, needle down, the stitching edge moves and the circles look uneven.

What am I doing wrong? I really don't want to post the picture as it looks bad.

One thing I've noticed is if I'm not careful when pivoting the fabric, I can sometimes move the needle so it gets a little off when stitching. I hope that makes sense. Other than that, I think when working on small circles or curves it's best to pivot often.

Is it sacriliage to belong to these creative boards and only plan one custom outfit per day?

Our last trip, I got so bogged down in 2 or 3 customs a day, plus pettiskirts, and hairbows and bracelets and necklaces. Then I had "back up " outfits in case there was spillage. I'm trying to pare down a bit. So how many outfits do you plan a day while at Disney?

Wow, I felt like I was overdoing it to bring 1 custom outfit for Zoe per day. Our 'back-up' was whatever inexpensive tees we bought as souvenirs. Of course we went to Disneyland where it's much less common to see kids in customs.

Hey Quilters - I want to make this for my 17 year old neice - how do you think you take into account for the triangles - would making my squares an inch bigger do the trick??????Do you think overall 10x10 squares would come out to a good size?(Im so not a math whiz!!!)

Here's what I'd do - start with 1 square of white and one of red cut one inch bigger than the final size and stack them with right sides together. (BTW - If you're doing a quilt that leaves the seams exposed, you'll want to stitch them with wrong sides together to get the seams on the right side.) Draw a line from one corner to another on the bias and then stitch on both sides of the line the usual distance for seam allowance. Once the stitching is done, cut along the drawn line ending up with 2 squares made of 2 triangles, one red and one white. Once you have your squares, if they're a bit too big just trim off the extra to get the right finished size making sure the diagonal seam stays from one corner to the other.

FYI - I think working with squares is simpler because there's less chance of the bias stretching during stitching. Also, you end up with 2 matching squares of triangles.

Yes, I do want to work with squares and cut them in half, and it is a rag quilt - now what they show is that where the triangles meet, the fuzzy seam is there too - so it kind of outlines the heart...does that make sense?
