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

[teresajoy]

I have booked our first ever trip to Disney!!! I am so excited....Maybe more than the birthday girl!

ALL RIGHT!!!!!

Hi Friends,

Well, here we are still sick! It has been almost 2 weeks of fevers and now I lost my voice. Mom is now sick from taking care of us when we came home. We have missed snowboarding for two Sunday's now and we can't stay awake all day yet. The dr says there is nothing they can do, just rest and stay hydrated.

I did make a very quick Jack head shirt for Birthday on Sat. But no sewing other than that. I can't wait to try out my ruffler, Thanks Benita!!!!! But for now, just more rest. I love the great clothing and table runners.

I will keep George and your family in our prayers today! Let us know how his surgery goes today please.
Have a great day.

PS: Yes, I have a head silly.

Wow, that is so long to be sick!!! I hope you get better soon!!!!

Well, I had never seen it!! I'm glad you showed us your face!

I adore the fabric you used for that apron!! Did you make DD's jumper, too?

Nope, bought the jumper at Pumpkin Patch when it was on super sale from the summer (but it looked more Fall to me). But I did finally find photos of the A-line jumper I made her for Epcot, so I'm posting those below. =D

I made an outfit for my cousin's little girl this weekend. She loves frogs and snakes and everything reptile, but likes to dress girly. She picked the froggy material at Joanns when we were all in Florida last week.
Her name is Amber, thus the 'A'. And BTW, that is my first every applique. I finally got brave enough, but wanted to keep it simple.





And of course I felt bad cause I had not offered to make anything for her DB, so I made him up a bowling shirt with the leftovers.

Very nice, I love that it's reversible!

Sorry to hear you've all been sick, and for such a long time, too!

WHOO HOO!! There's nothing like going to Disney, especially for the first time and seeing how your child reacts!

Here are the photos of the simple A-line jumper I made dd for Epcot. I wanted to do something really simple since I overpaid for this fabric and really wanted something that showed off the print. And no, I don't handsew buttonholes-I put on snaps and then sew the buttons onto the top of the straps.

Kind of blurry, but only photo I have of the whole thing:

GREAT job!!! I love it!!! The shirt turned out great too!!!!

Thank you.

Those are so cute! Great job on your first applique!! I love the teeny tiny bowling shirt!!

Thanks. And it is thanks to your tutorial that I even dared to try an applique. And it is Teeny tiny.... i had a bit of difficulty with the sleeves cause they are so tiny.

You did a great job, I am scared to try an applique! I love love love the little shirt! Super cute. I am thinking that the bowling shirt might be a great pattern to make something for my nephew who never gets any of my creations. I have 2 neices and 3 girls of my own so I usually only make girl clothing, but have been looking forsomething to make him, so he won't feel left out!

They are great for little boys. My DS7 loves them, and wants another soon. Although, he says not to bother with buttons on his cause he just wears them open with another shirt underneath. He is also getting too big for the largest of Carla's sizes, so I will have to try making it a bit bigger for the next one.

Very nice, I love that it's reversible!

Thank you. I love that the pattern is reversible too, and I usually love both sides so have to put the 2 sets of buttons on every time.

Also, I love your A-line. Very cool material.

Thanks to HEATHER! I have now become obsessed with finding this gorgeous fabric!!

It's Japanese, has anyone seen it?

Put me on the "want some" list! If we can find some at a reasonable price, that is! $25 is a little steep for me to justify!

 

[roscoepc1]

.

I made an apron for myself for a letter A theme playdate we had on Friday, so here it is:

Close up of the hand stitching (and Violet's foot):

And here it is on, next time I'd make it fuller (I could have sworn I was smiling, guess not!):

If I had to handsew everything I would NOT be a sewer! I admire your talent! You have beautiful stitch skills!

I love it! I have to agree that $25 is a bit steep, but wow it's gorgeous.

Another note: I forgot who directed us to the thefabricobsession.com forum, but thank you...I enjoy the coop!
They are also doing a swap of fabric "green" grocery bags......Any interest in that here? I would be willing to get is started get the tutorial, and keep track of the swappers....They have had some really cute ones!

Could be either one of these......

or

The fabric obsession is using the gusseted one. But i have found others...Just looking for some interest.

I've been thinking about making some of these too. I think the second one would work better. It looks like it would hold a lot more than the first.

 

[Jennia]

That is so cute!!! I love that fabric!

Thanks, the fabric is by Alexander Henry-I paid a little over 30 dollars for not quite 3 yards.

Great Fabric find! Very cute dress.

Thank you, I liked it on her so much, too bad she had an accident about two hours after putting it on!

Thank you.


Thank you. I love that the pattern is reversible too, and I usually love both sides so have to put the 2 sets of buttons on every time.

Also, I love your A-line. Very cool material.

Thanks! How hard is it to put the two sets of buttons on? Are the buttons uncomfortable at all on the side against the skin?

If I had to handsew everything I would NOT be a sewer! I admire your talent! You have beautiful stitch skills!

It's really not that bad when it's all you're used to. I don't think I'm that talented, lol, I see so many things here and feel like my stuff isn't up to par in comparison.

That is such cute fabric, I like how you made the straps angled at the end instead of rounded.

Good news for us, our travel documents arrived in the mail today !

Those froggy outfits are adorable! I love the pooh fabric you used, where did you get it?

I got it at a Joann's in MT - lol - I may have some left if ya wanna trade???

I made an outfit for my cousin's little girl this weekend. She loves frogs and snakes and everything reptile, but likes to dress girly. She picked the froggy material at Joanns when we were all in Florida last week.

Love the outfit and shirt!!! Im askeered to make one of those bowling shirts - honestly how hard is it compared to Carla's other patterns - is it the hardest?

Oh April - that totally stinks!! Is Hunter still out of school? If there is anything I could do for you long distance, let me know!!! Although I havent gotten my fill of snow this year - you still have snow?????

Cant wait till you are better so we can get a full detailed trip report!!!

 

[mom2prettyprincess]

I'd be interested. I kind of like the first one but the second one looks like it would work better. Maybe it's the cool fabric on the first one??

And congrats on your new machine!!

I've been thinking about making some of these too. I think the second one would work better. It looks like it would hold a lot more than the first.

The first one is made from a pattern of a plastic shopping bag and is lined...so it will hold the equivelant of whatever you could fit in a plastic grocery bag.

Here is a link to the tute...
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=177482.0

and the other one is http://sewing.about.com/od/bagstotespurseproject/ss/grocerybag_6.htm

This is just me..but I think the first one looks easier..maybe I'm wrong...and I tend to be sometimes...so point me in the right direction...

 

[jmrdavis99]

Okay, I need help....I have promised DS (3) a goofy shirt & DS (7) a Jedi Mickey shirt (they got tired of me making everything for DD)

I have my applique pieces all cut out and everything is good but I have a question...I have only done outlines of pieces before...if I want to try to fill in an area that is wider than one stitch without cutting out fabric...like say for Mickey's lightsaber...can I do that on my sewing machine or am I going to have to fill that area by hand. Did I mention I am terrified of these projects. What if I get 90% done and then do something stupid to mess it up

As the PP said, put your machine on zig-zag & the feed dogs down. You may be able to find an online tutorial for machine embroidery, but basically you are going to fill the area side to side.

**Disclaimer here: It's been about 25 years since I have done this, but I took ME when I was a preteen. I recall it was fairly easy. **

& remember, the seam ripper is your friend!

HI!

Trying to help find the Japanese Black Disney Fabric and found this website -they dont have the black fabric, but they do have some Dumbo, Nightmare Before Christmas, Pinnochio, Stitch and a bunch more...soooo CUTE!!!!

http://www.sakura-crea-deco.com/web...om/web/sakura2/Fabrics_disney_E_grp_30-1.html

love them!!!

 

[tricia]

Thanks! How hard is it to put the two sets of buttons on? Are the buttons uncomfortable at all on the side against the skin?

The 2 sets of buttons aren't bad, and I hate doing buttons. I also pick very smooth buttons when doing this so that it should not be uncomfortable against the skin. I will have to check with my cousins little one after she has worn it to see what she thinks.

Love the outfit and shirt!!! Im askeered to make one of those bowling shirts - honestly how hard is it compared to Carla's other patterns - is it the hardest?

Well, there are definitely a lot of pieces to it, but it is the first of Carla's patterns that I tried a few months ago and I don't find it all that hard. You have to be a little fussy with it, to get the bottom seam to line up, to attach the collar, and to not have the sleeves have bunches, but the directions and pictures are great, so if you take your time it goes smoothly.

Some of those fabrics are great, but ouch on the price. Over 6 Euros for 1/2 meter. Yikes

 

[t-beri]

Thanks to HEATHER! I have now become obsessed with finding this gorgeous fabric!!

It's Japanese, has anyone seen it?

OMG!!! MUST HAVE...

25$ a yd???? That's more than I paid for my Merino Wool Interlock or Organic bamboo velour

But then again, I'm not the most rational fabric shopper

LOVE! The prices are a bit steep though. I wonder if i'll be able to find any good fabrics in Europe this summer. Hmm...

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Some of those fabrics are great, but ouch on the price. Over 6 Euros for 1/2 meter. Yikes

Now why can't the USA sell those fabrics? I've never seen them. Boy, I love the Dumbo! We just watched that with Megan on Friday night and she asked to watch it again sunday afternoon! First time I have seen it in years- I felt so strongly for Mrs. Jumbo (trown away and put in da Klink!)

I just came from my Wal-Mart and I'm so sad. They have been telling me forever that they were absolutely not closing. Well, now they say they will be gone by the end of June. You know what else he said! He said the Disney fabric- it don't sell too good. (His words, not mine) God bless him, he was so nice, but missing teeth.
I bought a bunch of stuff and IM'd DH when I got home. The Mickey Mouse on blue check fabric was on sale for $1 a yard!! But everything else was normal, $4.44-$3.44 a yard.
I bought.....
colored pooh toile 3yrd (I can NOT find the blue and white which I really want)
baby pooh characters sleeping on pastel block background
Tink on lime green "Too cute"
princesses on pink background 2.5yd
mickey on blue check 3 or 4 yds
some cute red fabric with multicolored mini stars
mmm....I can't remember if I did anything else.
I like the Mickey Mouse on navy blue, but I know it's not the greatest, and it does run if you pair it with lighter colors although I dont knwo if I pre-washed it last time. Might buy more of that in June. But with a new baby coming at the end of May, who knows when I will get back there.

My Joanns really only carries disney in flannel and their stuff is also Springs but they sell it for like $7 a yard. Go figure.

Im so sad that my Disney fabric will no longer be available and the prices online are NEVER as good as Wal-Mart.

Oh and this weekend- all 3 of us were sore throat, stuffed up, runny nose, etc. So no church for us.

I did go to my all day (10-4) sewing class and started a Twim sized Winnie the Pooh applique quilt. I have all the pieces for the background cut and ready to sew, next i will sew them together and start cutting out the applique pieces. Can't wait to have it done. I think I might send it out to be quilted and save myself the effort. I also got a huge compliment!
They hung up 2 outfits I made- a Simply Sweet top with coordinating easy fit pants (capris) and the Feliz, both of which I made out of Moda fabrics I bought there. I loaned them out until summertime. Im so honored that she felt they were worth putting on display! (Carla- I gave her the pattern info so people can go online and buy your ebooks once they have their fabric!) I know without this thread I never would have made those!!

Really cute! I've been in a big reversible phase myself. I always put on two sets of buttons (well really, two buttons over snaps) and no one has complained so far.

Hi Friends,

Well, here we are still sick! It has been almost 2 weeks of fevers and now I lost my voice. Mom is now sick from taking care of us when we came home. We have missed snowboarding for two Sunday's now and we can't stay awake all day yet. The dr says there is nothing they can do, just rest and stay hydrated.

I did make a very quick Jack head shirt for Birthday on Sat. But no sewing other than that. I can't wait to try out my ruffler, Thanks Benita!!!!! But for now, just more rest. I love the great clothing and table runners.

I will keep George and your family in our prayers today! Let us know how his surgery goes today please.
Have a great day.

PS: Yes, I have a head silly.

Yuck for being sick! It's the worst when the doc says they can't do anything, when I'm sick I want to be fixed!

I have booked our first ever trip to Disney!!! I am so excited....Maybe more than the birthday girl!

HURRAY!!!! it's so exciting to book!

Nope, bought the jumper at Pumpkin Patch when it was on super sale from the summer (but it looked more Fall to me). But I did finally find photos of the A-line jumper I made her for Epcot, so I'm posting those below. =D
