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

[minnie2]

How much fabric (45 inches wide) will I need for a pair of pants made with CarlaC's pattern in a size two (waist 21 inches, inseam 12 inches)?

I intend to buy the pattern tonight but don't have time right now. I have a meeting in the nearest town with a fabric shop and want to make my grand baby a pair of Batman pants. He is 2 1/2 and loves Barman. Seems like a good way to get my feet wet after years of not sewing.

All the cute things I see here have inspired me. Plus he is getting a new baby sister very soon and I really want to sew for them both.

Thanks,

Penny

Not positive off hand but I would say 1.2 yard but I would buy a full yard to be safe.

Hi Penny,

45" wide pants fabric, for pants and pants with cuffs
Size Small (1-3)
Side Line A (outter measurement)- less than 16"- 1/2 yd

I make the size 2 and 3/4 works for me

Half yard should be fine.

Is there any website that happens to have good prices on Michael Miller fabric?

I bought some like that at Joann's fabrics store. Most fabric stores usually have one form or another of red with white polka dots

Yep, got that at Joann's.

Are you looking for a specific print or prints? I usually start with a shop for a print on quiltshops.com to see all the site that have the one I want. Then I compare prices to see which has the best. I can usually save a couple dollars a yard doing this since there almost always is at least one site with a print on sale.

If I can't find a good price on quiltshops.com sites, I go to craftersvision.com as they seem to beat most other sites' regular prices.

Oh, I also check because there are times when people are clearing out their stash and start prices low. On there, though, I double check shipping because too often sellers will set the starting bid low and jack up the shipping.

So I think I found something that might work, since I can't find Dr Seuss fabric. I am going to look at or local uniform shops for scrubs. I looked online they do have Dr. Seuss scrubs! I figure with few washings they should be mores soft and would work perfectly. There is Green eggs and ham one that is what I want! If I can find it I will express order it. The cheapest I found was 14.98 and it was for a xxl. That should give me plenty of fabric to work with. They had some other cute ones too!

So if you have a uniform shop around ya, take a look.

Here is my silly kid wearing her "ever so cool" Hello Kitty pj pants. And Just because she looked so darn cute this morning I snapped a picture of her. She is wearing a skirt that I made two years ago, its too short, but luckily she got purple leggings for her birthday that match! Wahooo extended wear of the Princess skirt. I love that fabric and haven't found more of it... I want more darn it. Now that I can make more then just that skirt. hahaha

She is holding her laundry basket. haha she HAD to hold it for the pictures. Yes the kitchen is a mess, and we need to take the garbage out thank you. hahaha

And this morning

I am looking at how adorable she is. Who cares about the house. She is just too cute in the hello kitty pants. She has very good eye contact with the camera and seems to like her picture being taken. You are very lucky to have such a wonderful daughter.

Its one of those grocery stores that sell clothes, toys, home stuff etc. Kinda like a walmart but on a much smaller scale. I got Tinkerbelle pillowcases there for $2 too! Its one of my favourite stores, they have the best deals.

That is a great idea to use bedding for fabric! Very smart.

I actually made one today. What is that saying- Ask and you shall receive. I was going to wait to share it for a few weeks. My youngest daughter is going to wear this to her sisters Birthday at school. I still have to finish DD4's but hers is a little more complicated.

The best place to find the fabric is ebay and it does get very expensive. I still have not been able to win Grinch fabric.

Here is the newest . . .

Here is a previous dress . . .

Ok, she is just adorable you have mad skilz! Wow, that dress is so detailed and it looks like you just mastered it so easy. How long does it take to make that dress? I love Dr. Suess and the fabric is great.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I don't have a PB or a PBK near me. I guess I would have to order online. My son really wants the Star Wars bed set they have. If anyone sees that on sale/clearance please let me know!

DS also loves Lego Star wars but I didn't even see regular star wars in the stores. I think sheets my be in our future. Please let me know if you find anything.

I think this was my favorite to create! It's very bright though!!

This is beautiful. Congrats on the order.

What do you think of this one?? I did this for fun for Easter...

I was having fun with the Tule!!

Did you have fun making this? It looks like very whimsical and cute. Great job.

hahaha we must have at least 50 pictures of those shots, and those where the good ones. She can handle the camera, but eye contact is few and far between in the pictures. And some times you can see where she is DONE with the camera. She was in a great mood last night because it was just us. I find no matter how much I try to break Autism down to my room mate, she doesnt get it. and just see Georgia as a 7 yr old throwing a fit sometimes. Even though I explain she maybe seven but emotionally she is about 4. So its like having two 3.5 to 4 yr olds in the house emotional. She doesn't understand. But its nice when its just her and I. I know how to curb a behavior and when to give her her space let her be. Which is something the rest of the house doesn't yet. So when we are in a good mood I take advantage of that! hahaha

Oh can't wait to see the Batman pants you come up with. I just made a pair for my little guy. I will have to find a picture and post it.

What patterns (preferably easy like CarlaC!) would you suggest to use to make princess dresses. Nothing fancy, just some play dress-up outfits for DD3--she has outgrown her Belle dress I got for cheap & I refuse to pay the HIGH prices for a new outfit! I think she can be amused if it halfway looks like it--she walks around in a pillowcase & calls that her Ariel outfit! I'm going to have to put some drawstrings or elastic in one of the pillowcases since a clothespin doesn't hold it for very long.

You are a genious! I don't know why I didn't think of scrubs, especially since I was just looking at scrubs for disney fabric. Off to look at srubs..

Thanks! It took a couple hours. The Vida's are pretty easy once you have done a few and if you do not have to applique anything. I think in total it took about three hours. The girls were helping me so I am not 100% it could have been longer or less. I know that the stupid buttonholes took an hour. I was messing with my buttonhole maker. It is broken. I ended up doing the buttonholes by myself which took five minutes. Stupid Foot!!!
