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

[*Toadstool*]

Thanks for the help. Guess I'll hand embroider Thing 1 and Thing 2 on the tummies and their faces, gonna be greedy... I need more help. As I said, I'm not feeling very creative so I'm hoping you guys can help. I'm making 2 Simply Sweets for DD9 and her BF. Had NO luck finding anything Seuss so here is what I've come up with:

The red and white will be the skirt and the black swirl will be the bodice.

Okay, here is where I need help... what to do for the ruffle and the straps. You can't tell from the photos but the torquise fabric is sparkly. What do you guys think? Is the black/white dot too much? Should I reuse the black swirl on the ruffle? Do I need the torquise on the bottom? And the straps? If I use the dots on the ruffle should I reuse it for the straps.

And if that wasn't enough questions for you... I may make them Easy Fit pants to match. What would you make those out of? Thanks a million for your input!!!!

Jen, that is going to be so cute!!!! I love it!
I would use the black swirl if you had it. The dots would probably look fine too, but I'll let the other ladies make that decision. I am horrible at matching fabrics so I would use the black swirl or something in the applique.
You didn't satin stitch thing yet huh? Or is your satin stitch that tiny?

This took me FOREVER to smock. I used an entire skein of purple, green, and yellow floss. I've never done that before. That is ALOT of floss!
The pattern is Mandarin Yoke top from Sew Beautiful. It wasn't difficult.. just time consuming. I wanted to test this one out before making my asian inspired one.
The bunny costume was her Halloween one. It was really cold that night.
She calls it her little rabbit foo foo!
I added a growth tuck around the top because I want her to wear this a LONG time since it is a holiday outfit. I'm not crazy about the look, but I would have been sooo mad if this didn't fit next year.
The collar lays alot better on her neck. It fits like a bishop around the neck. The collar that is going underneath doesn't actually show on the ends like it does in the picture.
Bows are by JenWDW. There are 2, but I can't find the other!
Oh... and it is purple. I am a little color blind, but I know it is. The pictures look blueish to me.
I think I am going to get some german interfacing to make the smocking lay flat. I think I smocked a little too tight on this one. It told me to use german interfacing in the pattern, but I didn't have any.
Anywho... this is why I have been lurking!

Oh.. I was going to snap a model picture, but she is potty training and had an accident right when I got the camera out.
I'll try to take modeled pics tomorrow.

First of all I love it!! So cute! I am considering doing a Dr. suess outfit too, We having a dr. suess day next week. I think it is his birthday. I think the swirly would be better. And maybe instead of the easy fit pants have the girls put thing 1 and thing 2 on a pair of pants with paint. And maybe put a red/white cuff or ruffle on the bottom. Maybe capri length.
Good luck!! I'm sure it will all be great, whatever you decide!!

Wow!!! So cute!! I got a book from the library about smocking and that is as far as I got!!
Looks like a fun parade!

Ladies I need pricing help please.
What price would you put on these bows?

What would be a fair price?

I have gotten some interested buyers and I thought this would be a great way to buy supplies and pay shipping for BIG GIVES.

Thanks for the help.

I have no idea about pricing. Sorry. Maybe check what the going rates are on ebay.
These are my favorites though!!
I have a question- Did you use that stiffener on the ribbon before you made the bows?

 

[mickimousemama]

I love how your outfit turned out, and your litle girl is quite the little poser
I was wondering if you could tell me where you found your fabric at?

Thanks

Here is it! The St. Patricks Day outfit! My first 4 piece set! YAY!

I Just love the fabric and I think it came out so green and Irish!! (My husband's side has the Irish....so my husband demands green on St. Patricks Day )

Pose 1:

My daughter has some chapped lips that she keeps sucking on, so, that explains the huge red lips!

Another pose for you:

Pose 3:

Close-up:

and trust me, there was many more poses to choose from!

And finally, my first attempt at a round neck that went horribly wrong.....Somehow I think I put the front neck piece on the back and the back on the front!!! I was very fed up by the end of it that I just left it. Needless to say, I did not enjoy that one too much. I don't know, I think the round thing just isn't for me....

YES SHE IS!!!! I call her Hammy!!!

The St. Patricks Day outfit fabric was from Joanns Fabric Store. It is an Alexander Henry Print and it's just too adorable!!! The Tink and dots I bought at a Walmart's fabric section.

Thank you to everyone so much for the compliments!

 

[minnie2]

I made this dress for Jenna last night. She is going to wear it on Monday for Spring picture day at school.

Kristine-I have enough of that Pooh fabric to make another one.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments on the dresses that I made. Everything posted today is really cute. I really love the Minnie dress.

Kelly-I think that the Rainbow fabric really helps to make the St. Patrick's Day dress stand out.

Other Kelly-Yes, Jenna did get her happy mail and she said that she loves the bow and she kept the picture from Zofia.

That is really cute! What pattern is that?

HI GUYS!!!

SORRY IM YELLING THIS BUT DANIEL FINISHED RADIATION TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We still have almost a year of chemo to go, but hey, he did so well - he stayed healthy and fairly energetic!! His therapists tell me how he is a hard worker during his sessions and tries sooo hard!!! We are now prepared for the next step which could mean hospitalizations every month, but we Keep Moving Forward and by God's Grace all will turn out well!!!

I also got word today from a local Philadelphia Theater (the Arden Theater) that they are donating a birthday package to be auctioned at Daniel's benefit!! How cool is that!!!!!!!! Thanks again to the others who will be donating outfits/purses for the benefit - I think a well rounded presentation will help - how many sports signed items does anyone really need!!! lol!!!!

Im just so happy tonight!!!

Now to go back and read the thread..........

That is great news!

Great St Patty's day outfit! i may have to make Nikki something!

Don't give up on the round neck. the 1st time I made it it was awful! Then i realized what I did wrong and now I really like it. Though I can't do too many in a row of that one. I just really like the way it looks when finished.

Is that the new Tink material? I Love it!

another drive-by post ( but really love the outfits posted!!!)

Ok here is what I think you should do. Make a 3rd one for Nikki! What's one more right?

Seriously that is going to be really cute! I don't thin I am ready to applique Thing 1 or 2!

I like what some one else said about using the black swirly fabric...

I think someone is cutting up the scrubs and selling them on ebay as remnants. I was kinda shocked at this. :

I noticed that too! Especially since I saw the green eggs and ham scrub at Walmart. It was around $21. so I didn't buy it. I keep on thinking about it and when I went back to see if they still had it, they were all gone! I guess you have to grab those things when you see them. I don't know, I drop $75 everytime I go into Joanns but $21. for a scrub turns me off. It doesn't make sense but for some reason that's how my mind works!

 

[snubie]

I made this dress for Jenna last night. She is going to wear it on Monday for Spring picture day at school.

This is beautiful! Very elegant yet playful.

Pose 1:

I love this outfit. Very nicely done.

I feel like I am finally joining the living again! What a bug I had: I would definitely recommend the flu shot (for the kids it was just a little spray up the nose). I only got the kids done because Jacob has some allergies but I am glad I did, just to save them from getting as sick as I did. Next year, flu shots for everybody!

Anyway, I wanted to join in even though I am late, late, late. This is the first thing I ever made, it is a twirl skirt pattern from Sewing for Dummies. It was so easy and a great warm up for a return to sewing:

For Jacob's shirt I "appliquéd" the star with fabric paint.

This is what I made for the father/daughter western dance:

Not a whole lot harder, but cuter I think!

Megan talked me into this Littlest Pet Shop fabric when we were at wal mart. I was going to make an a-line top until she saw Tessa's skirt in the same fabric. She told me she HAD to match Tessa!

That is our orange tree, for Teresa. Here she is going off to school today. I made a gymboree-like hair thing and put her hair in sock curls last night:

Now I just have to finish my St. Patrick's day dress, which has been sitting almost-done since before I got sick!

 

[Shannalee724]

Ladies I need pricing help please.
What price would you put on these bows?

What would be a fair price?
Thanks for the help.

The large bows go for between $4 and $6. Yours are embelished enough to def go into the higher part of that range.

Yes it is also a pillow case this one was harder to find went to a few differt stores they were all just out of the pillow cases. No I didn't do any satin stitching. I am not that brave yet!


I just used a rectangle about 2 maybe 2 and half X DD chest then figure how long you want it because I think the hem and ruffles kinda = each other out. Then I just did the elastic tread then sewed it together. Thats what I did. Hope that helps a little! I just kinda do things then think later which is bad cause then I go "Dang it" I shoulda, coulda.

Thanks!

Okay, here is where I need help... what to do for the ruffle and the straps. You can't tell from the photos but the torquise fabric is sparkly. What do you guys think?

Glad you are feeling better.
Am I the only one that noticed that this picture of your first work is taken in front of a sewing machine repair place? Just struck me as funny.

Ack! When did she get so big? And those curls are to die for!

I love the fancy stitching on the bottom of the top too, I would love to see a close-up. So cute!
