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

[Eyore4Ever149]

Hi Everyone!! Missed you all!! Glad we are back!! GREAT creations made while we were down!! Love the outfits, shirts, skirts, aprons etc that were created all so cool!!! Tom your space is awesome, and your table runner is too!!

Here is what i was working on the past few days. Made some outfits for our Saturday outing to the Arden Theater in Philly to see "A Year with Frog and Toad"....it was soooo cute!! If you are ever in the area, the Arden is just WONDERFUL!!! not a bad seat in the house! Even Hannah - 2 year old- sat on the edge of her seat!!!!
Tim's outfit

And the girls -

Then some flouncy outfits I finally finished - not too happy with the purple one - not sure how the fabric will wear...

Wendy these are great!
I just bought the frogs on pink in the clearence section at my walmart-its been there for a while, I think it was $2 yd
you are really whipping out these clothes now!

I am now off the indulge myself. I bought Twilight on DVD, Im back to breathing thru my mouth because my nose is stuffed. I have fig newtons, glass of milk and some Kerrygold cheese and Im ready to watch a movie in the middle of the day while DD naps!

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

It's Japanese, has anyone seen it?

Ooooo! I like! I hope you find it

I won't be doing any sewing today! We bought the kids bunk beds yesterday and today my task is cleaning out the room so we can put it all together tonight. I am looking forward to seeing how it all looks when its done. Just got basic Ikea bunk beds. We went to Portland for the weekend, a bit of a pre-anniversary treat and we got to see some family.
Today is our 12 year anniversary

And to make it even harder for me to be productive today I just booked two nights at Disney's Grand Californian for this Nov! I am soo excited.
My in-laws live about 45 mins from DL so when we go to visit we usually get to DL. We have been hoping to make our Thanksgiving trip a whole week and hit DL and Legoland. So we decided to use some left over DVC points and stay on property for two nights instead of driving back and forth 45 minutes each way. We are getting the in-laws a room for one of the nights so we can all be at the same place! They have to work on the week days so it works out fine.

I am a wee bit excited.

DD and I have caught my DS cold this weekend. So, I should get back to them and my cleaning.

I love all the new stuff.. Cute A-line with frogs... I think I might need that pattern next

We had a great time at Tessa's birthday party on Saturday. I made her this castle cake, which she loved!

If you want to see what I thought of the kit to make it, here's a link to my video review:

If you watch it to the end, you can see us singing happy birthday and Tessa blowing out the candles.

She was so excited that I got her hair to curl on the sides!

Her friends thought the best part was ripping up the wrapping paper and throwing it into the air.

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

That is GREAT news!!!!!

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.

Ugh! I can't believe your still sick!

So cute and I love that fabric!

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!!!

There are some fabulous fabrics on there! I love the Alice, the Dumbo, and the Tink on the last page!

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!!

That is so cool!!

 

[michelea]

We're leaving tomorrow!!!! The kids can barely contain themselves. Nothing is in the suitcases but it is all set out on the bed ready to be packed. I'd better get to it!

Cake is beautiful! Great Job!
Looks like a fun party!
And the curls do add a little something special

Have a wonderful time!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Cute: I am glad you cased us (well, really Elisa). We leave in exactly one week and I have two outfits to go (eek!).

Thanks! Good luck finishing your outfits!

Here is what i was working on the past few days.

Everything was so cute. I LOVE that Pooh skirt-and that T is perfect for it!

Great great job on the tees! I love all of them!!!

Thanks!

Both my kids have huge heads, like in the 90th percentile. They get that from DH because my head is tiny. In fact, my head is exactly 1 inch bigger around than my 3 year old's and he and I can easily swap hats. I just think I was going for quality, not quantity in the brains department!



Good to know about the Heat-n-Bond. I bought some for when I'm finally brave enough to try applique and I tend to iron everything on super hot.

Love all the shirts, the Mikes are especially cute!

Thanks! I think I need all the quantity of brains I can get these days. The quality isn't what it used to be. I'm the same way with the iron. I usually have 100% cotton so it is on high but the heat-n-bond didn't like that!

Oh, not so much sewing related but I am soo excited! I forgot to mention that I finally bought a new camera!!! It is a beautiful new Nikon! Now I will never have a bad pic again!! LOL!!! Photography is an old passion of mine and I am excited to begin again. Here is a couple that I have taken already and they are coming out great! I can't get enough of the close-ups! LOVE IT!

BEAUTIFUL!!!

My mind is elsewhere today. George has his surgery this morning so I need to be getting ready to leave for the hospital but I needed my Dis and some coffee!


Those are GREAT!

Thanks!

Hope things went well today!!!

These are all wonderful!! I love the Walt and Mickey silhouette. That is just fantastic! How cool that your DS loves what you made him!

Thanks!

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.

SO cute! Love the bowling shirt. I really like the check you used on the collar & placket too!

I'm so sorry you're still sick. Hope you get better soon!

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

How exciting!!!!

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:

Better photo of the fabric-dress is lined in red:

So cool! LOVE that fabric!

What cool stuff. How come we can't have that cool stuff here?

What a great cake and beautiful birthday girl! Looks like a great party!!!!

 

[billwendy]

HeatherSue - that cake was AMAZING!!!! too bad it was such a pain - they should have molded some plastic dowels right into the turrets!!!!

I knew you 'd love the Dumbo fabric!!!!

Im working on my Twirl Scallopini - and even though I stitched across the top of each little peak like it says, its still puckering....grrr - any tips???

 

[jham]

Very cute, and I love her pose.



SO pretty, that's a fantastic color combination, as well!



You've definitely been busy!


Wow, nice job! Love the Minnie outfits.

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!):

Very cute! I love the fabric.

WOW!!!! You've been busy! LOVE everything! You're girls are so cute! We have a few snow drops here. Highs the 30s for the next few days.

Thanks so much! Thanks again for the Walt!

Just a note on transitions lenses since you're UT. I had them but didn't get them again on my last pair of glasses because I found when they are cold they take a long to get light again.



Thanks! Love your apron and the fabric. Your DD is a cutie too!

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. We have a lot of snow here today. I've gotten some of my neighbors to join me in boycotting shoveling our driveways and sidewalks. It's March! Late March!

Jammy...I think the fabric was from Wally last year...its a sear sucker and I had the intention of making something for Ohana with it. Never happened. But the colors reminded me of the storybook page so I went with it. I do have a yard left of the strip if you want it...let me know! Yes, well all that sewing took me weeks...I am a slow sewer! Seth would love the lenses....they work great!


Great great job on the tees! I love all of them!!!


Thanks for the link...I read and cried....Jakob is just adorable! I love the Dr. Seuss tees and skirt.....they are soo cute!

Thanks for the info on the fabric! I may be up for a trade, PM me if there's something you are looking for.

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

Thanks, now I'm obsessed 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



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!

Tessa's party looks so fun! Did the grownups have fun too? Tearing up the paper and throwing it sounds like a great game! But that cake, that cake is gorgeous!!! Jayden and Brynnly were in here when I scrolled past it and they are with it! There was all sorts of oohing and aahing going on. Jayden asked me to make one for her birthday. I SO can't decorate cakes! I'm seriously impressed.

 

[Stephres]

Dear Tessa,

Your cake looks yummy. Your mommy did a good job on it.

I like your cake and your dress and your hair.

I love you!

From Megan!

 

[Stephres]

By the way, Megan typed that entire post all by herself. It only took 20 minutes, lol.

Okay, I have a question for those of you that have used comic boards for your fabric. How did you fold your fabric and how did you attach it to the board? I picked up boards today, now the task of folding it all around the boards. I've got most of my sewing room stuff moved to the new room. Now to figure out where I want it all put. When I get it all finished I'll post pictures.

 

[twob4him]

Thank you everyone for your kind comments about my sewing progress! I am soo slow that every little bit helps!!! You are all the best!

These are so cute!! I make a lot of patchwork twirls for my girls and Ilove the way you added little things onto the patches! I am too impatient for that but it really adds something. Also the glitter on the Minnie bows is neat, a big
A question on the ribbon on the shirts. Did you insert the ends of the ribbon on the sides or just sew it down securely on the outside?

Thanks! And cute DDs too!

OH...I just sewed them down after I "pinked" and "frey checked" the edges. But now that you mention it....what a GREAT idea to just open up the the sides and slip the end in, then resew it shut. I think I will do that for the adults tees....thanks!!!

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.
.

Hope you are all feeling better soon...just ask anyone...I was nutso while my daughter was sick all week...her fever lasted 6 days and then she needed 2 more to completely recover.

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

Yaaaa there are lots of great tips and advice right here on the Dis.....and of course....there are the outfits for the trip....

Adorable!!!! I just overpaid for a half yard of fabric...it was $8 with shipping! But I needed it to go with a tee my dh brought home. Oh well. I really love your jumper and the fabric!

Wendy I really love the fabrics but how would you pay in euros??? I was looking on Fabric Fairy for Teresa's fabric for her. They had some loverly asian stuff but nothing with the castle on black. oh well.

Heather Sue.....did you cut your hair???? It looked very cute and layered and shorter than when I saw you in Feb. I watched the whole video clip and you are beautiful and right on about the product....I almost bought that too...but now that I know about the whole dowel issue I may not.

Tessa looked lovely and so festive with here sparkly hair, crown and pretty dress! And the cake was just gorgeous!!!!!!! You did a great job mom!!!!!

Did you check the bookmarks? (Teresa's...link on page 1) I think there is a tutorial about how to fold it in thirds I believe. I can't wait to see your room when you are done!!!!

I use bobby pins to hold the fabric on the board and it works great!! I fold it like the bookmark tutorial says to do it - it looks so nice all folded and pretty!!!


Cathy - I have no idea how you'd pay for it - lol - its was so $$ I didnt even try to figure that out!! I was trying to find that fabric for her too!! lol!!! Loved your girls springy pictures!! Nice to see everyone looking healthy and happy after the last week you had!!!

QUESTION ??? How do you guys do that little ruffly thing where the strip of fabric looks sewn in the middle with ruffles above and below the stitch line??? Am I making any sense at all????

Stop Everything! I updated my TR!

but seriously, stop by!

I think you're talking about ruching (sp?). You finish the edges (I do a rolled edge hem on each side) and then gather down the middle. Then you stich it on to the garment where you want it.

 

[disneylovinfamily]

add me to the list that is DYING for that castle fabric!

I just discovered (thanks to carla's ruffler tutorial) that you can do this all in one step with your ruffler foot!

Really? You don't have to finish the edges first?
