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

[Flea]

Here is my post of knitting - to show I have been crafting even if it wasn't sewing.

A wee shrug/bolero for Em - love the red in this - it's going to be her Disney one

A dress/tunic and pant set for a friends newborn

A dress for dolly

Testing a dress pattern for a friend of mine

and this one is a special one - it's my first proper adult knit (not a hat or gloves) It was my reward to myself for losing weight almost 9kgs which is about 25lb I think. I still have a wee way to go but I'm getting there.

Currently on the needles I have another shrug/bolero for Izzy and a dress like the one I made my friends bubba for em

Hi all! I am here for a little bit of advise! First off I would like to thank everyone for all of hte inspiration! I have made my dd a bunch of things to wear down to Disney next week and would have never thought of any of it without you guys! She is so much more excited now becasue of all the cute things she has to wear!

now for the advice part... I want to make her a stripwork skirt. So I am assuming that I just use the bottom part of the stripwork jumper and attached it to the waistband like i did with the patchwork. Is this right? ARe there any other condierations that I need to make?

I'd cut the panels more in a wedge. Narrower at the top, then the bottom. You'd have more fullness at the bottom, and less at the top.

I have been following this board for some time and posted ever so rarely. I'd love to sew something for my getting older dd, but my first attempts have been fabric Easter Baskets for dd and her friend for our up coming trip to Disney.

This is the basket for dd:

This is for her friend:

And here are some autograph books I created for them fronts and backs:

You are suppose to lay the sheet down so that the unprinted side is up (printed side down), and then you flip the finished edge over the top of your blanket, then it will be going the right way. (does that make sense? I can try to find a picture)

ETA: I haven't found a good picture, but here is a little tutorial I found:
http://www.wikihow.com/Make-up-a-Bed-Neatly



What? i didn't put that in the bookmarks?? let me fix that right now!!! Ok, done! It's in the baby section now. I see what I did, I just bookmarked the whole cool site (Jan Andrea, Sleepinb Baby)and didn't bookmark the projects individually!
Here's a direct link though:
http://www.sleepingbaby.net/jan/Baby/cart_cover.html

Thanks! I was all over that site earlier and looking at some of her other things. I kept reading on a blog that she had a cart cover posted.

Anyone ever make one? Opinions? Are they all big and sloppy looking?

Awww, Em is just adorable and I love all of your knitting! Amazing! You look wonderful! I lose/gain/lose/gain....currently on the gain part . I really gotta get back on track! Anyways, congrats on the weight loss! How long does it take to knit those cute tops....love em!

 

[twob4him]

Here is one of two outfits done for the latest Big Give....this is for cute little Olivia! She loves Aurora and ruffles! DD5 helped me make a little stretchy necklace. We put Olivia's name in there too but the pics came out kind of blurry

Finally finished the pirate adventure outfits! I have a couple minor adjustments I want to make but if I don't get them done it's no biggie.

Thanks - I feel good just wish the last bit of weight would go - it seems it likes to stick to me

It depends - I usually try and finish things in a week - some of the nb stuff I can do in a day but I only knit here and there when I can grab a few minutes. The bolero was pretty quick as we had a day were we spent 4 hours in the car going to a family reunion and back so I knitted it then

Sooooo cute - Izzy would love this - it's her favourite colours

Love this fabric and the outfit

Olivia is gonna love it! SO cute! The little necklace is adorable - what a great ensemble.

LOVE the pirate outfits! What top pattern did you use for the girls? It's very cute!

Thank you!!!
It's a little pattern that I made up. I had a vision and I went with it . There may be something out there like it but I'm not sure. I have made it 3 different times now. It is just a strip around the top, a tie for around the neck, a hook and eye fastener at the top of the back, a big rectangle gathered for the center piece with another strip added on the bottom of it. I used Carla's easy fit pants to make the capris. I am so glad you like it! It is so nice to hear someone elses opinion.

AH! I can do that! That is if you don't mind! It's a great summer top!



A while back someone posted a link to a fabric coop (they also had patterns). The name of the group was something like fabric obsessed or something similar. I joined the group, and I thought I bookmarked, but can't find it. Can someone post the link if you have it? Thanks!

[t-beri]

I wanted to jump in and say a HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you from my family
you guys made our trip even more special
I am slowly working on my trip report

I don't sew that much but I am a very slow knitter (I knit when I am sitting at the clinic all the time)
I finished it this morning hope it is Ok to post

HOW pretty! The color suits her so well! I am a SLOW knitter. I never have the patience to finish something...I'm sure I'll never learn more than K1 P2 w/ as little attention span as I have.

1. I know, isn't it cool!!!
2. I just love all the versions of this dress. I can't wait t sew up some dresses with it!!!

hey, why are you excluding me!!!


Cathy!!! That is FANTASTIC!!! I think this is my favorite thing you've ever made, and I've loved all your other outfits too!! That is just so adorable!!!

I'm glad you got your color back!

Because Teresa, I don't need to suck up to YOU

Got her color back? OH WHERE IS THE TAG FAIRY WHEN YOU NEED HER!!!

UGH!!! I"ll never knit like that!!! I want so badly to enjoy knitting but I have no patience to learn how and get bored w/ knitting scarfs and blankets LOL I should break the needles out again. I have a huge tub of yarn on my stash.

Finally finished the pirate adventure outfits! I have a couple minor adjustments I want to make but if I don't get them done it's no biggie.

WOW! VERY cool. The girls look thrilled w/ them.

 

[twob4him]

I think the tag fairy got demoted and is permantly stuck in Neverland. I haven't seen anyone get a tag in forever...like probably a year or so.

No, I don't mind if you make it at all. I agree with you, it is a great summer top. I was trying to come up with something light and cool for when it's really hot. Some people don't like the open back but I don't mind it. It actually covers more than there bathing suits do!

 

[Haganfam5]

Oh, BTW, does anyone have any ideas for something Peter Pan or Captain Hook for my son to wear? I went to the Disney store and they don't have one shirt with Peter Pan on it and I have not been successful in finding and fabric with them either. My girls are doing a tink/faries day and I don't have anything for my son to wear. I appliqued once (the hat from cat in the hat last month) and that was the only thing I have done (so it can't be too complicated). Maybe just a hook? Any suggestions or easy clip art links?....maybe if they are very easy ......Thanks!

THAT'S IT! YES! I want that fabric! I've convinced myself that I NEED that fabric! Thanks for posting the link - I'm off to find fabric.

I'm not sure how I feel about the open back - it looks great on your girls, but I'd have to sew one up to see what I think for my DD. BUT, I was thinking that if I was a bit insecure about it, I'll stitch on ties a little ways down (about the waist) and tie it closed. I think it would be cute either way!

I am about as challenged, creatively speaking, as is possible. I have been looking back through many pages and have been very impressed at the creativity on this site. Now for the question...My kids bought some wonderful vests at a National Park. They are made mainly of mesh with many pockets for carrying things. When I saw them, I thought how wonderful it would be to get one so that the trip through security at the parks would be easier, but alas, they were not available in adult sizes. Does anyone on this thread know of where someone could get ahold of something like this in an adult size? Or maybe a pattern? TIA

That's a great idea! It would be really cute like that too! You could also just over-lap the back a bit more and it would cover the back more. My older daughters ended up like that because I made it a bit longer. It's made up so you could modify it however you like .
