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

[Tinka_Belle]

I finally sewed something. Jenna wanted a new school bag. Her friend got a Twilight bag that had Edward and Bella on it. When we went to Wal-Mart to get one they didn't have anymore of the Edward and Bella ones, so I told her that I could make her one with Edward and Bella on it. Well long story short we ended up having to buy a new printer to be able to print out the images. i am glad that it is done. The whole thing ended up being a small nightmare. The front is supposed to look like a scrapbook page. I don't scrapbook so I don't know if it looks like one or not.

This is the inside pocket.

LOVE IT! And you even have my two favorites on there! Emmett and Rose!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would you belive I ran in to some one yesterday that was obbsessed with the movie and didn't even know there where books too I told her she needed to read them if she loves the movie she will loose her mind reading the books!

I just had a workshop on this topic and you have to take everything into account, keep track of what supplies you used, thread and all and how much time it took you to make it and then there is two ways to figure out what to charge. If you go with what you have in fabric and all supplies you add it up and multiply by 3 and that is your price, or you do it by the hour but be sure not to do anything less than min. wage. Either way do not short yourself, I always think I am charging way too much for stuff because I probably wouldn't pay that much but other people will and you are making a custom outfit which takes alot of time. Hope this helps and it's great that you have a good friend to boost your confidence and find you customers

Thanks! I am going to talk to my girlfirend again because I still can't believe it! I just want to make sure it is real!

This is just a drive by but wanted to say I love all the cute clothes. Our mountain closes today but we went yesterday as it gets a bit crazy and not appropriate for Hunter to see. Topless women and men in undies!

It was great to finish out our ski/snowboard season and now we fire up our snowmachines and go to the back country to ski/snowboard. We all have avalanche gear and DH is search and rescue.

I am finally feeling better for the first time in over a month That was the worst I have ever been and I am grateful it is mostly over.

Today I am cleaning as I have not deep cleaned since getting sick.

I don't have anything to sew....suggestions? We have all the outfits from our trip and am not going back till Sept. Hunter's clothes should still fit. I have tons of fabric but no inspiration.

Minnie, how is George? Wendy, how is daniel? Benita, I still haven't tried the ruffler yet but maybe a skirt is in order. Prayers for those in need.

Sorry you where so sick for so long! Glad you are feeling better though.

George is doing good. Still weak and sore but coming along. Thanks for asking.

Hi April!

So happy you are feeling better!! I cant Imagine skiing in your undies!!!!!AHHHHHHHHH

Daniel is back in the hospital - on his last bloodwork they found bacteria in his blood, so even though he felt okay - he had to go back into the hospital. Poor guy!! At least he isnt feeling bad or anything!! Thanks so much for asking!

Boys are difficult for me for Easter - so at Jessica's suggestion, I made them bunny peep shirts - lol!!

And this is a tiered skirt I made for Bekah (17 year old) I just did 1 and a half increase per tier so its not too twirly....what do you think??

Im feeling blue today - not sure why - its so beautiful outside - it seemed that everywhere I went at church this morning, people were talking about their kids and their babies etc - so I was totally left out of the conversations - ok, pity party over - gotta get outta this funk!!!

Anyone ever do anything curious George?

Wendy

Both are adorable! To be honest I think I like things ruffled 1.5 times rather then 2x's.

Sorry all that family talk got you down. Try not to let it! You ahve a great DH and an adorable puppy. As well as an extended family that loves you including all of us!

sorry about Daniel! Poor kid. At least he wasn't feeling sick you know?


Ok I am so over this weather! We are getting snow!!!!!!!!!!! I can't take it!!!!!!!!!!

Where are Teresa and Heather? I know Steph was away last week so I am hoping she pops in soon!

 

[mickimousemama]

Well I ended up going all out guess I just got carried away.. Plus I made her doll Gracie a complete outfit and she was REALLY sad that she didn't get a skirt too.
Sooooooo

I ended up doing a corset, this is my first time Ever doing one, and I think for "winging it" it turned out really well, especially since she was sleeping.. and yes I am that mean mom that would slip it on and off of her while she slept.. can you say SOUND sleeper?

So here is Lucy Lu Flint and Miss Gracie Flint

Of course that skirt is WAYYYYYY too much to wear buckled in a harnessed Carseat LOL so she will not be wearing that as we travel. and after I read the comments on here I think I just might try doing a peasant style top out of knit. I can't go buy anything but I'm thinking maybe I could find some of DH's old t-shirts and use one of those since they are size 3X I should have enough material to use

Thanks for everyone's input it is GREATLY appretiated!!

I finished my Disney sets for my boys!
Here are my almost 3-year old's (Shirts are iron-on transfers the DISigners helped me with!):

One of the 7 month old's sets (I made him several onesies, not too many shorts):

And the Cars birthday banner for the upcoming birthday party!

Okay - I've been seeing all these amazing appliques people are doing - can some one let me in on the secret on how to do them? Are they iron on or something? On online tutorial somewhere? I'm new to this sewing thing so I'm trying to pick up as many tricks on the trade as possible! lol

On the very first page of this thread you will find an AWESOME tutorial on how to do appliques I learned from my mom, but she does them this same way.

I previously shared the first Disney Dress I made for my DD.

Here is the second Disney Dress I finished for dinner at 1900 Park Fare. It is my second applique.

And the third dress for dinner at Crystal Palace.

Thanks again for inspiring me to try something I never thought I could do. I cant wait to try my next applique.

[teresajoy]

Hi guys! Remember me??

I just wanted to let everyone know Heather and I are doing fine, we've just been busy lately. I am going to try to get all caught up on here before I need to start the new thread!


Ok, I am up way to late again, so I'm off to bed!!

Night all!

 

[Tinka_Belle]

Thanks for the compliments on the Twilight bag. The pictures were done on the ink jet printer fabric with the adhesive backing. I thought that it was the heat set kind, but it isn't. I am just hoping that they won't peel off. They seem pretty secure though.

I also made her these bows. I used the tutorial that is posted here on the Dis.

One of Jenna's friends told her that she was very cool because she has the Twilight books, the movie and because she now has a messenger bag that I made her. Well I guess now she is super cool, because she has the bows to match.

I want some! They are so cute! Can you email me those pictures you sent me the oter day please the links didn't work!!!

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Carla-(or anyone who can answer my question)

Regarding the A-line pattern...

I have trouble with the front having a bit of a point to it right in the center(at the hem line) (this would be where the fabric is folding when cutting) instead of smoothly going across, I noticed some of the "I made this" photo examples did the same thing- what am I doing wrong and how do I NOT do this the next time I make this up?

 

[Stephres]

I am back too, lurking...

I am taking over as PTA president next year at the kids' school so they want me included in everything so I will know what I am doing next year. It is really taking a lot of time. Today I get to lead my first meeting (eek!).

Our spring carnival is coming up and I want to make something for the silent auction. What do you think would bring in the most money? Last year I made a dress and it did ok, about $30. Throw out your ideas please, you guys are so creative!

Megan said the highlight of her trip was meeting Bolt, so here she is:

I think the highlight of the trip for Jacob was the American Idol show:

Happy Monday everyone!

 

[minnie2]

I just needed some thing simple after that Tink patchwork before I started my nieces.
Pj's for Kyle. Please ignore the chocolate face and the lovely scratch just in time for picture day today!
Oh and his dirty blankie and yelowie! Neither leave his side! He has been carting around blankie since he was a few months and yellowie since he was 3 or 4 I can't remember. I just know my mom got him at the Atlanta zoo. Both have also been to WDW! and Yellowie even has his own Custom!


Here are some pj's I made Nikki yesterday. I didn't have enough fabric. I only had a yard so I had to make due! I am just glad she will still let me make her things with this kind of fabric even if it is just pj's!

Yes that is snow in the background It only ended up to be a dusting but still!!!!! I am not a happy camper!
Yup that is also a Mickey TV in the background too. I need to put it away. eventually I want to put it in the kitchen but we don't have a receiver for it yet.... Santa brought the kids a new tv for Christmas to Mickey had to goMickey was out dated...

Oh and I forgot to mention to all you fellow boutiquers with older girls believe it or not some of them still really like the little girlie ruffl stuff. When my girlfriends little girl opened her pink ruffled up dress with allt he ruffles in the back I had 2 3rd graders( 9 yrs old!) say they wanted one!!!!!! So I may try to modify the pattern for my gf other dd for her bday in June!

Tessa, my 11 year (well, 12 this Saturday), loves this! She thought it looked very cool. She just started reading Twilight last week and has finished the first two books.

Well I ended up going all out guess I just got carried away.. Plus I made her doll Gracie a complete outfit and she was REALLY sad that she didn't get a skirt too.

Chloe (dd5) loves the pink pirate outfit!

I finished my Disney sets for my boys!

They are all wonderful and I love the banner.

I previously shared the first Disney Dress I made for my DD.

Thanks again for inspiring me to try something I never thought I could do. I cant wait to try my next applique.

They are all adorable. I think my favorite is the Pooh one. We love Crystal Palace.

Looks like you had a lot of fun! Good luck with the PTA! I thought the set you posted with the mini eye spy bag was super cute. Or, how about a coupon for a pair of Mickey Head applique t-shirts with a pic showing what they look like. Or, maybe a set of beach towel board shorts (from the easy fit pattern) with a matching cover up top? Or, a bag for the moms? That was what I bid on at the last school auction we had.

Very cute! I love making pjs. They are cute, much appreciated and (most of the time) fast.

And, you are lucky you only got a dusting. Here in Oswego, we have a nice thick blanket of snow. Although, Emma, my chocolate Lab, is thrilled - she loves snow. Tilly, our yellow lab, goes out and is back in in record time - she hates the snow.

So, how about some bolt and american idol crayon roll ups or coloring bags with crayon pocket? Or you could do a swap of all your fabrics and show some photos of a couple easy outfits you have made over the years and it can be a custom silent auction....OUTFIT of your CHOICE. Good luck, have fun wiht it!
