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

[froggy33]

Good Thursday morning to all! I am going to try again to get involved with these threads. I absolutely love them and I post from time to time, but I always get behind so I mostly lurk and try to CASE . I do finally have some things to shard though and I hope to get working on a lot more! But as you all know with grad school and a baby life just sometimes gets in the way of sewing!
So get ready for a lot of pictures!

Christmas Dress:

It was actually for my BILs wedding:

I also made a cape to go with it. Sorry pic is not in color - It was red velvet with a soft fuzzy lining. I want to make one for myself!

Valentine's outfits and pictures! I made the skirt and the hat.

I again made the hat and the apron top.

Okay, the last three are upside down when I preview the post, but are just fine in photobucket. Hopefully they turn out alright when I post it. **They didn't so I uploaded them again! Thanks for looking - now back to catching up!!

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

I think this might be my favorite of all the dresses you've posted in the past couple of days. They were all great, but I really love this one!

Here is it! The St. Patricks Day outfit! My first 4 piece set! YAY!
Pose 1:

So festive!

back

my neighbor wanted the same dress without the ruffles

decided to do the back a little different from the other one

Linnette

You have been one busy bee! I love the dresses!

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

I'm no help on the dots vs. swirl debate, but I think either way these are going to be cute!

[Disney 4 Me]

I can't believe this is only my 2nd post in this thread and the first one was just to pimp my TR (which I'm already on my 4th installment of!)!

I have a lot going on in my life at the moment that I can't really discuss on here. Nothing bad, really. But, it's kinda stressful! So, that's why I haven't been around much, and all my free time has been going to my TR, before I forget everything!

Heather ~ I’m glad to see you posting. I was beginning to wonder what happened and was about to PM you. I hope your personal life gets “boring” and less stressful.

 

[jeniamt]

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?

Oh no, that is why it still looks so perfect. The stitching is the scary part, I'll work on that tonight.

Wow, amazing smocking! I can tell how much work this one was. Hopefully she can wear it for a couple of years.

and I wanted to share a pic of Rylie!!! I thought she looked so cute!

You thought right. She is adorable. Out of curiousity, what do you put in her hair? My DD2 has curly hair also and I haven't found a product that works well in her hair. If I don't put anything in her hair, she looks like a frizzy mess with dreadlocks.

Hey Y'all if you have time could you say a prayer for my FIL. he lives with us and last night about 11pm he had a heart attack. He is in the cath lab now. He is so hard headed he has been having chest pain for a few days and would not go to the Dr. Thank goodness I talked him in to taking a couple of asprin before he went to bed last night.

Tracie

Sending you prayers.

Thanks for everyone's creative help! I'm off to Joanne's to get more of the black swirl. I'm also going to buy the Singer Serger they sell (its on sale for $249). Does anyone own it? Would love some feedback. Based on the online reviews, either people love it or hate it. My birthday is next week and I'm buying it for myself! DH will claim its from him... he kept beating around the bush that he was going to get me a serger but it won't happen unless I go get it.

Thank you! And you are cracking my up about the frizzy mess, because that is what her hair looks like most of the time! I use a kids mousse on her hair it is called Circle of Friends. All of the bottles have kids from different places and facts about the country they are from. They have shampoo, mousse, gel anything really. The products are FANTASTIC!!! Luckily my mom is a cosmetologist, so she gets my hair products at cost!

I love everything and this picture looks like it belongs in a magazine! So cute!!! If you don't mind me asking, what pattern did you use for the hat?

 

[minnie2]

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!

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!

VEry pretty! I still can't believe Nik isn't into them all of her friends are but like Belle se would rather read

LOVE the LPS!!! Megan is sooo cute!

For some reason I can not do a multiquote!!! So,

GREAT bows and I would look on etsy or ebay and try to price from there!

GREAT smocked outfit!!! I am jealous, I want to learn how to smock!!

HAGANFAM- Love all of your stuff!!!!

and I wanted to share a pic of Rylie!!! I thought she looked so cute!

cute

Marlo-The Green dress is the Wrap Top Dress pattern on YCMT.com.

thanks!

She is just far to cute! I love the tongue sticking out!


Ok my old friend the seem ripper isnt being VERY nice to me! He wants to come out and play far too much the past 2 days!

 

[froggy33]

What a cutie, I love, love, love the tongue sticking out!

Thank you so much! She stuck her tongue out so much during the portrait sitting! As it turns out she had a tooth come through the next day, so we think that is why!

What a little CUTIE!!! Everything is sooo fantastic!

Thanks! I love making it, just wish I had more time. I have a ton of things planned over the next month - here's hoping!

I love everything and this picture looks like it belongs in a magazine! So cute!!! If you don't mind me asking, what pattern did you use for the hat?

Thank you! I think this was one of my favorites, but they take soooo many it's hard to decide. I got the pattern from ycmt.com. It is the newsboy/cloche hat from daintydesigns. It is so very easy to make and doesn't take a lot of fabric. I love it and make one for about each outfit! The black hat is the newsboy panel and brim, the red hat is the newsboy panel and cloche brim(a little bigger and can be flipped up).

Your DD is adorable. I love the pic of her from the wedding. She is such a doll. You did a great job on the dress and the cape. Everything else looks great too.

Thanks everyone! We, of course, think she is pretty great! I have been so inspired by all of you and your little cutie pies! I can't wait to make more!! Now back to more catching up. I really should be working on my actual work, but where's the fun in 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.

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:

really cute st pattys outfit, as for the round neck that is way better than my 1st one, and my 2nd well lets just say its good for one wearing (st pattys), but i am getting the hang of it

What Pattern is this? I love it. Do you think it is to casual to make a First Communion dress using it? I want to make Abby's dress but I haven't found a pattern I love. I am considering a McCall's pattern and they are on sale on Friday at JoAnn's so I may pick it up. I just don't like the dresses in the stores online, they look like bridal gowns! I want my little girl to look like a little girl for a bit longer. She is only 8!

i just had to comment that i love when little girls look like little girls on their communion. one of the girls at work just told me that there is a communion registry for dresses over $400 (aaargghh) so that no body else in your church can wear the same dress as another. it seems a bit much too me, but my dd is only 2, so i dont have to worry yet. i think this would make a sweet , young girl dress. good luck with whatever pattern you choose,

Hey Y'all if you have time could you say a prayer for my FIL. he lives with us and last night about 11pm he had a heart attack. He is in the cath lab now. He is so hard headed he has been having chest pain for a few days and would not go to the Dr. Thank goodness I talked him in to taking a couple of asprin before he went to bed last night.

Tracie

sure prayers said

somehow i lost the adorable baby in the hats for valentines day ==absolutely adorable

and i lost the smocked mardi gras dress....wow

 

[froggy33]

Haha...in your trunk that is so funny. I purchased my dress form at a used retail supplies store in Sacramento. For the form & the stand I think it was $75. Which from what I understand is pretty cheap?? I need a smaller one though!! My StripWork Jumpers don't fit on it!! Ugh!! It's more for size 7/8-14 girls... So I am looking for a toddler size one that is cheap. But need to wait a little, for it!!

Hey all, I don't know if this was posted about anymore because I am still on page 23 trying to get caught up, but I found a good site for dress forms. I think they are really more for just displaying, but for $35 how can you go wrong! They have infant and children's sizes (don't really know the age/size it goes to), plus a whole bunch of other types of forms.

[*Toadstool*]

that is beautiful! you can tell you put so much work into that! Love the smocking!

The bunny outfit on your dd is cute too!

Thank you!

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!

I

Thanks! I learned to smock from a book.

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!

I just couldn't believe how much she was selling them for. I bet she is making a ton of money off of that.

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!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your western outfit. I know I have said it before, but I still do! I like the LPS outfit too. My DD has no idea what that is, but I want to make her an outfit now.

GREAT smocked outfit!!! I am jealous, I want to learn how to smock!!

and I wanted to share a pic of Rylie!!! I thought she looked so cute!

Thanks.
Rylie is adorable! Her hair is so precious.... the outfit is cute too.

Prayers being said.

Hannah is such a cutie in her bunny costume. Your Mardi Gras outfit is too pretty. I love the smocking.

I really do like it. I just haven't been able to make it into something regular. It always looks dressy.

Thanks!
I have made a wrap style dress before and it definitely wasn't dressy. I think I made it with some character fabric. Character fabric dresses everything down i guess.

I can't believe this is only my 2nd post in this thread and the first one was just to pimp my TR (which I'm already on my 4th installment of!)!

I have a lot going on in my life at the moment that I can't really discuss on here. Nothing bad, really. But, it's kinda stressful! So, that's why I haven't been around much, and all my free time has been going to my TR, before I forget everything!

That bunny outfit is absolutely adorable!!

I love the Mardis Gras outfit, too. I like the asian inspired bodice on it! Wow, that's a lot of floss!! It must have taken forever! Is smoking somewhat like cross stitch, or is there more involved?




Wow, bow makers and sewers are definitely underpaid! By the time you pay ebay and paypal fees, and pay for supplies that leaves practically nothing! I think the only reason people sew for profit is because they love to sew!

THanks for the compliment!
Smocking really isn't that hard. It is just time consuming. I have never cross stitched, so I don't know how easy that is. Picture smocking is really easy for me. It is the sam stitch over and over again. Geometric has more stitches that you need to know.
I agree about the bows too. I pay for thatn 6 or 4 for my bows. I think the money is well spent too for all the time that goes into them.

I saw others with listings for 'remnants'. I don't have a problem with selling them but I can't believe she's asking so much since it's only about 1/3 yd total. Of course others are starting at almost $8 for a remnant of about 11"x11". I couldn't justify paying those prices for fabric.

I was just surprised at how much she was upping those prices by just cutting those scrubs up. I wish I could put a note on her auction with a link to the scrubs!

It turned out beautiful! I really like that pattern. Where did you find the smocking plate?

THanks!

CUTE! CUTE! CUTE! I love the hat too!

Oh no, that is why it still looks so perfect. The stitching is the scary part, I'll work on that tonight.



Wow, amazing smocking! I can tell how much work this one was. Hopefully she can wear it for a couple of years.



You thought right. She is adorable. Out of curiousity, what do you put in her hair? My DD2 has curly hair also and I haven't found a product that works well in her hair. If I don't put anything in her hair, she looks like a frizzy mess with dreadlocks.



Sending you prayers.

Thanks for everyone's creative help! I'm off to Joanne's to get more of the black swirl. I'm also going to buy the Singer Serger they sell (its on sale for $249). Does anyone own it?

DH will claim its from him... he kept beating around the bush that he was going to get me a serger but it won't happen unless I go get it.

Thanks, and yes I am hoping for 2 more years.. I'm probably nuts though.
Congrats on the serger. The one I want has a much higher price tag, but it is the one I NEEED.....

keep forgetting to suscribe!
SUSCRIBING!

Hey Y'all if you have time could you say a prayer for my FIL. he lives with us and last night about 11pm he had a heart attack. He is in the cath lab now.

Glad to see you on here, we miss you. Did you take Teresa too? She hasn't been on much either. I've been reading your trip report so keep it coming. I think I am at the section where you met up with Jeanne at DTD McDonald's.

I agree, I swear some of the items I watch on ebay absolutely don't go for enough. At those prices I wouldn't take out my cutting mat to do them! And I really think that ebay and paypal stick it to you, and then include shipping, YIKES!

Hey I hope it is not too late but you can get the same Singer serger at Wallmart for around $180. It is a good starter serger. I have it and I think it is on it's last legs but I sew a ton. I think you will be really happy.
