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

[bclydia]

These look so cool!!!!
I saw Spash Mountain, Space Mountain, The Pooh ride and The Castle. They were about 25.00 each

Those are so cool!! My hubby will decide he must have those. Thanks for the photo!!

Thought I would post these for all of you who were interested in the sundress so you could see better how it fits. I don't think it's skimpy (but that's JMO). It has a lot to do with how tightly you tie the straps...

Great job!! Very nice!

I've been looking around at all the custom Disney dresses and thought since I'm a quilter I could try to make my own. Here's my first attempt. I'm really happy with how it turned out!

That's really pretty!! Great job! and glad to see another quilter jump on in!!

I was just checking the Big Give board and don't see where you've signed up yet!

Okay, busted!!! I'll go check my fabric supply and pop over to the Big Give board. Thanks Teresa!

Yikes! How scary for you! My 3 year old takes singulair and I remember when the pediatrician gave it to her she told me to hide it since it tastes really good. She said most kids think it tastes like candy. And I totally get how some kids can get into everything. My oldest two have been climbing things lately. Nothing like finding them on the top shelf of the 7 ft. tall entertainment system in our game room! Little monkeys! Glad to see in your update that she is okay.

THank you! And I know what you mean, both of my kids are climbers! I went to school for a parent teacher conference and Sydni's teacher said " you have a real tomboy on your hands!" She climbs on everything at school and always plays with the boys!

Morning! Yesterday I got to finish another dress for my girlfriends DD bday. It is cute BUT let's just say the directions aren't Carla's!

I didn't make it all bright and colorful because the little girls mom isn't big in to all the mixing and matching of color.
though the next dress I am making for this little girl is going to me more colorful! I asked m girlfriend should I get her a little toy as and extra for her bday or do you want me to make her something else and she was all over me making another dress! LOL So I am making a patchwork Tink simply sweet.

I am a little bummed I gave the little girl the Wubzy dress because she was just too cute the other day and we put it on her and it barely fit! She measured for a 4 so I made the 4 since Simply sweet tends to be big o I may have to some how expand it for her. I need to get the pictures from her she posted a few on FB.

Hello ladies


Not only that but we are going to the wiggles concert this weekend


Leah

I am so totally jealous that you are going to see the Wiggles. I miss seeing Anthony and all the guys. We used to see a few concerts a year and keep up with them on their website, but now that the girls are older...old Uncle Anthony and Jeff...just lost their appeal...now that Anthony...he is very appealing to Mommy...LOL

Okay, DD is banned from the computer because if she sees this, I'll be "ruffling" all weekend! How on earth did you get all those ruffles to be gathered the dame amount. It's fabulous!

 

[disneymomof1]

QUESTION ALERT !!!!! This weekend I plan on putting together the A Line dress for DD. I want to use two fabrics for the front, and use ribbon on the front where the two fabrics meet. My question is sewing with ribbon, is there anything you use to make it stiffer and when you sew on ribbon do you sew down the middle or on the outside? Thanks !!

 

[GoofyG]

Well here is my little man, already 10 months. Just 2 more months and he will be 1!

wow he is cute as a button. My little man is almost 8 mo he will be 10 mo the day we leave for disney in June. I am sooo excited. How long has he had his teeth and how many does he have? our little one has been working on getting so in for so long now im beginning to wonder if he ever will have teeth. lol We have 3 others and I remember them all already having 2 teeth already. I guess he is just going to take his time.

He has 4 teeth, though he is behind compared to his sisters! He also won't jabber. I don't know if it's boy vs girl or if it's 3rd child!

 

[minnie2]

and a question - if I happened to buy a pattern to help find my sewing love again...could someone tell me if the wrap skirt on YCMT (12m-3t) is easy enough to upsize say to a 4/5? or would I be better buying both sizes

I saw ycmt had a new wrap skirt in bigger sizes!

I know the instructions for those type of ruffles are on the CarlaC embellished patchwork twirl skirt but I haven't tried it (and those instructions are downloaded on a different computer). But I know there was a beautiful minnie twirl skirt posted on here sometime this week that had those on it...maybe that poster can help

Thanks! I don't have that pattern... maybe I can pm Carla....

I thought free dining ended on Oct 3rd??? Are you not getting free dining.

So glad your DH is home!!!

I "think" the dates are August 16th through Oct 3rd?? I could be wrong though...lol

Thanks!
Bummer free dinning would end a month before we arrive.

I've been looking around at all the custom Disney dresses and thought since I'm a quilter I could try to make my own. Here's my first attempt. I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Adorable! I love that dot material it is one of my favorites! Your little one is so cute! Love the uppy next to her!

Okay, DD is banned from the computer because if she sees this, I'll be "ruffling" all weekend! How on earth did you get all those ruffles to be gathered the dame amount. It's fabulous!

Thanks! It actually wasn't bad. other things about the instructions drove me nuts so I ended up using some of Carla's patterns for get my answers! Like the elastic in the back they didn't say how long to cut it! They wanted me to put it on the child and then cut it but it is a gift so the child isn't with me! So I used Carla's simply sweet alter elastic size The sizing also drove me crazy because there where no measurements for them! It just said the sizes not if the chest measurement is X then make this size! Those things bothered me more then the ruffling that is no biggie just throw a basting stitch and go!
I actually wish Nikki was younger so I could make her one! may have to make my niece one... It is really a cute pattern!

QUESTION ALERT !!!!! This weekend I plan on putting together the A Line dress for DD. I want to use two fabrics for the front, and use ribbon on the front where the two fabrics meet. My question is sewing with ribbon, is there anything you use to make it stiffer and when you sew on ribbon do you sew down the middle or on the outside? Thanks !!

When I have used ribbon I sew down the edges so it doesn't curl. Though I have only done it for purses....

I used heat n bond, which wont truely hold it in place, but will give you a bit of tackiness and helps stabilize and add stiffness while sewing. I then chose matching thread for the top stitch and a neutral for my bobbin thread. You could also try stitch witchery. be sure your seam is well pressed before adding the ribbon so that your ribbon can lay as flat as possible.

can't wait to see it- I'd love to know how you are going to cut and sew the 2 pieces together! I have been wanting to do this- have about 4 inches at the bottom of my A-lines with rick rack or ribbon.
Do you cut your first piece the full size of the pattern and then layer the second fabric? Or somehow cut them seperately, sew together and then continue with pattern?

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Hi all! I have had just a crazy week! Katie's birthday party is this weekend and I am TRYING to get ready. We started all three kids in swim lessons...I figure if they can swim, they can save me! Then, Patrick's allergies went into full swing on Tuesday...poor baby couldn't breath...and yes...I was out of all of his meds and no scrip! Bad mommy, I know! Thankfully my doctor was able to give me some meds to hold him over until his next appointment in April.

Then, and you guys will laugh at this...Timmy had a Kinder physical appointment yesterday at 8:45...I remembered this as I was getting in the shower at 8:30!!!! I jumped out, dressed Timmy (and myself), no teeth brush...barely brushed hair...ran out the door and was only 5 minuts late! But poor Timmy, he got 3 shots! He was not happy! I have never seen him cry like that...yep, I cried too! But, I can tell you it wore him out. He never goes to bed early, but last night when I got home from dance with Katie, this is what I found on the couch. DH said he grabbed my blanket and curled up and was out in no time. He has a slight fever today so he is a little grumpy...

I would love to stick around a catch up...but I must go finish Katie's birthday party outfit...I spent last night getting friendly with my seam ripper! I messed up an entire ruffle somehow and only realized it AFTER attaching it to the shirt! NOT HAPPY right now...I thought I was almost done. Then I have to clean carpets and such in time for tomorrow. Busy busy day!

I thought I might answer this - I have done several A-line with two or three fabrics for the front piece.
I sew strips of the separate fabrics together first so I am essentially making my own fabric piece. I then cut out the pattern piece as normal.

I was going to wait until next week to announce this but I just can't wait.

We found out last week that I am pregnant! We have been trying for a very long time and have undergone many fertility treatments to get here. We are feeling very blessed but also anxious. I have my first ultrasound next week so we are hoping all looks good at that point. I know it is very early and I normally would not share something like this so soon but I knew everyone here would be very supportive.

So I guess I won't be going on Mission Space or TOT (not that I would if I weren't pregnant )
Also I will be losing my sewing room in nine months or so.

I have been forced into lurkdom lately because life has been so crazy busy. You all have been creating lots of wonderful stuff though! Loved the cakes too!

These look so cool!!!!
I saw Spash Mountain, Space Mountain, The Pooh ride and The Castle. They were about 25.00 each

I have a 6 year old boy that LOOOOOOVES Legos and Splash mountain! He would go crazy if he saw these! Seth loves the castle. SO COOL!

That is really pretty Marlo! And a lot of work! I bought that pattern a long time ago and have never used it.

I was going to wait until next week to announce this but I just can't wait.

Congratulations Stacey! I am thrilled for you! And I'm praying for a healthy wonderful pregnancy!

I have to say I have been inspired dust off the good old machine and get to sewing. I guess I'm gonna have to go make a visit to the fabric store. I really want to make my ds-4 a dress or 2 for disney. I really like the minnie mouse ones. We are in dier need of new pillow cases for our body pillows and what better than a disney one to take them with us. Thanks for the inspiration everyone. As soon as I get some things made I'll try and figure out how to post pics.

Woo-hoo!! I can't wait to see what you come up with! There's a tutorial for posting pictures in the first post in this thread.

I LOOOOVE IT!!! Sometimes it's nice to see a dress made with just one color. It is beautiful! So, did Nik say she was too old for this dress? I think she'd look gorgeous in this style!
How is George doing today?

I am so totally jealous that you are going to see the Wiggles. I miss seeing Anthony and all the guys. We used to see a few concerts a year and keep up with them on their website, but now that the girls are older...old Uncle Anthony and Jeff...just lost their appeal...now that Anthony...he is very appealing to Mommy...LOL

You are too funny!

My question is sewing with ribbon, is there anything you use to make it stiffer and when you sew on ribbon do you sew down the middle or on the outside? Thanks !!

You've already got a few answers, but I'll throw in my 2 cents. I've tried it both ways and I think it looks better if you sew down both sides. If you use heat 'n bond to hold it in place, make sure you use heat 'n bond LITE. Trust me, I know this from experience!

Do you cut your first piece the full size of the pattern and then layer the second fabric? Or somehow cut them seperately, sew together and then continue with pattern?

I would think you'd do it a lot like the bowling shirt pattern, where you sew the pieces together and then cut it out. This idea really sounds cute. I can't wait to see what she comes up with!

Poor baby having to get 3 shots!! He looks so sweet wrapped up in that blanket.

My "favorite" pediatrician appointment ever was when Sawyer was about 18 months old. He remembered getting shots at his 12 month appointment and he was MAD that we were there again. He screamed from the moment we walked into the office until we left. I have a very vivid memory of him laying on the floor without his pants on (he had kicked them off in his fury), spinning around in circles, as if he were running while laying on his side. It was hilarious, and very embarassing, and kind of sad, all at the same time.
Good times...good times...

He has 4 teeth, though he is behind compared to his sisters! He also won't jabber. I don't know if it's boy vs girl or if it's 3rd child!

I think it's the 3rd. My Jay didn't really need to talk as his bro and sis did it all for him, and they carried him everywhere. Why walk?
