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

[MouseTriper]

Beth those pants are too stinkin cute!!!! I bet he loves them!!! What a nice friend you are!!

WEll, I just finished Arminda's Father Daughter dance dress. It needs a sash, and I'm really hoping it fits her when she tries it on in the morning! If not, we do have a backup dress! I'll post pictures tomorrow night.

Thanks Teresa. He really does love them, his mom told me he didn't want to take them off. haha.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures of Arminda's Father/Daughter dance dress!

Hey guys, I'm really worried about Becca tonight. I don't like the sound of this clot they found in her arm, and she is having some other bleeding problems. Here is the link to their website: http://schtabs.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=1600 I think that will take you to the right page.

Awww, I am praying for her!!!

hehhe its fuzzy butt. I used to have a cat and that was his name! haha I love the furry fabric for Elmo, very clever. Love the pants!

Hehehe....your "fuzzy butt" cat. Thank you so much!!!

How fun!!!
I'm guessing you used that minky fur? I think that is what it was called. I can't remember. I used the pink for Hannah's bunny costume. I am still finding it on pieces of fabric. It gets EVERYWHERE!!!!

I am not sure what it is called but YES the stuff went EVERYWHERE!!!! However, I must say it is PERFECT for a furry Elmo!!! Hahaha.

I am saying a prayer for Becca Seeing her pictures reminds me of my sister Jessica. She passed away 4-17-2003.

Aww I am so sorry about your sister!! Hugs to ya!!

those are so cute! Nikki LOVED Elmo!I

Thank you!! I think my little guy might be an Elmo fan too...I might have to make another pair. Hahaha

That is so cute: I love the elmo on the butt!

Thanks Steph....the Elmo on the butt just cracks me up!!!

Very bad news: my computer died. I unplugged it to vaccuum and when I plugged it back in nothing happens. No light, no power, nothing. I don't know if I should take it in or if it's worth it to fix it.

Anyway, I finished the Marieke with Megan's Hello Kitty machine. It kind of made the buttonholes wonky but otherwise it worked just fine.

I really love this pattern, but I have to agree with Aimee, it is much too short. I added two inches and a ruffle. I found this fabric at JoAnn's; it is very sparkly!

Aww sorry about your computer. I need a new one myself. I am still using my dh's laptop....ugh.

Love Megan's new dress!!

Those pants are adorable and the picture is gorgeous!

Awwww thank you so much!!!! He is such a little ham and so stinkin' cute!!

 

[tinashaver]

I love it, and the fabric! Can you tell me where you bought the red/white flower fabric? I would love to find me some of those to make dd something for Ohana breakfast.

thank you I found it at Joann's.

 

[kstgelais4]

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.

I have that serger. It is nothing fancy, but it works fine. You can get it cheaper at WalMart though.

Did your computer die or your machine? Anyway, I'm sorry. It always sucks when something you need dies.

Oh goodness, I am a goof! Yes, my computer did die but I got a new one. Then yesterday my sewing machine died! I have not had luck with electronic equipment as of late.

So I should I try to get it fixed or get a new one (maybe one that does embroidery)? I am askeered to learn new things!

 

[mrsmiller]

First of all ... My PRAYERS FOR ALL THAT NEED THEM... Spongie: sometimes blows come to you and it feels like they will never stop but it will get better

Teresa and Heather : Hope you guys are Ok,

Glad Daniels is doing better ( what is the website again?) and even though I do not longer follow up with Becca (it is too hard for me I do pray that she will recover soon but I know it will take a while for her recovery)

Beth : those Elmo jeans are too, too cute DO YOU MIND SHARING HOW YOU DID IT? BTW : I pray daily for you and your son!!

OK: I NEED ADVISE!!!!

I am not a color kind of person ...as a matter of fact you come to my closet and will only find black and maybe one or two pieces (shirts) white

so to me it is really hard to find a balance and coordinate colors, I am working on this feliz and have not finished it because I do not know if is OK
first I do not know if the ruffles in the back work together or look too busy
(of course my husband says it does not work!!!! ) and I ran out of the fabric I used for the inner dress so I am debating whether to use a premade ruffle or use the top fabric for the ruffle

here is the dress with the eyelet ruffle it is about 2" width

front ( still not decided if I will use the ruffles for the straps too)

back ruffles

thinking of using the top fabric for the ruffles

what do you think??

please help

all of these insecurities are preventing me from finishing the dress!!!

Get a new one!! LOL..I love Megan's St. Patty's day outfit...I have the Marieke pattern, but have not try it. It is sitting on my shelf collecting dust.

LOVE it!! The ruffles in the back look fabulous and the eyelet ruffle is perfect. I like it on the straps too.

 

[danicaw]

Wow! you guys were busy yesterday!
Love the new stuff posted and all the fun St. Pattys day stuff!

I was at Sew Expo yesterday and had a great time.
We left at 6:30 am and got back about 6:30 pm.... it is about a 90 min drive down.... but it was a long day, boy did my feet hurt last night. Next year I wear Disney World approved shoes... not cute new clogs

I found a lot of seriously cute fabric... the prices were not great... the average price per yard was about $9. Fat Quarters ran anywhere from 4.50 to $1 each when you buy 20. But the cheaper ones weren't the super cute stuff. So, yes I spent more than I was hoping for, but I am pleased with the things I bought.
I told the friends I went with that I came home with pieces for several projects but not enough to finish any of them... cute But I will get better prices for the basic stuff at home, so that's ok.
I loved the sweatshirt conversion seminar I went to and when I get all my other projects finished I will attempt one for myself
I'll try to post pics of the fabric and patterns later today.

LOVE IT! Wow the Feliz looks great in a Hawaiian print.....great job!
I love the eyelet ruffles!
Ooo and soo cute on the sleeves too!

Recently there was a lot of discussion about ironing, and what are children wear. I will say that I am a clothes horse when it comes to my daughter. We have 10 pettiskirts, boutique smocked clothing, custom clothing...well it's endless and TONS of money spent. However I just thought I'd show you what her father let her wear to the park recently.

I then asked her to give me a "pose" so all of my friends on the computer could see how pretty she looked. This is what I got....

And this is the reason why none of it really matters! She was so proud of her colorful outfit. The best part of the ensemble ( in my opinion) is the black tights with red christmas ribbons on the sides. Priceless really!

Linnette

Linnette, I really like all of the ruffles in the back! So beautiful and feminine! I love the idea of the eyelet ruffle along the bottom, and think you should add it to the straps as well. Eyelet and the print go together very nicely!

I am saying a prayer for Becca Seeing her pictures reminds me of my sister Jessica. She passed away 4-17-2003.

I'm so sorry about your sister. Thank you so much for sharing her pictures with us. I can only imagine the pain that would come from losing your sister. It must be like part of you is just missing.

Also I hate to ask for prayers too but George had a blockage in his fake colon over the past few days. Well the blockage seems to have passed but he is still in pain and something isn't right. He is worried it is either pouchitis or his colon ( or lack there of) is kinked. If it is kinked I fear he might need surgery again.

Marlo, I hope George will be ok and not need surgery.

I love sparkle!!! so cute!

Linnette

Linnette, I know it's hard for you to hear about Becca, thank you for praying for her.

Everyone else, I'm sorry I didn't warn you all about the pictures. I have seen them so many times, I didnt' think how shocking they would be to people who weren't prepared.

Linnette, the ruffles down the back look gorgeous!! And, I think I like the eyelet ruffle best on the bottom. I say leave the ruffle on the sleeves too.

I was going to start pouting, because I was promised pictures, but then I post and there they were!

I LOVE that she dressed like that AND your husband took her out of the house in it!!! You gotta love it!!! I really like the tights too, it adds just the right touch!!!! And, this just goes to show, it doesn't matter WHAT she wears, she is always adorable!!!

But, seriously, when did she turn into a little girl? I always think of her as a preschooler, but look at her! She's growing up!

Now, where are the pictures of Ben at his winter formal? (I see that is what your album is called!)

She looks so warm and happy. She is such a cutie.

that is greaT!

Marlo, I hope George will be ok and not need surgery.

thank you. I actually convinced him to leave early and go to the ER. I called the specialist and they can't see hime for 3 weeks so they said go to the er

The fact he left work early to do this is huge!!!!! He says it is over kill but if he is doing it it must be worse then he lets on.

So after iI get the kids from school my girlfriend will watch them while we have a nice afternoon at the er

WEll because you asked......

The boys in Ben's class now have this new thing...they try to "out do" each other with silly sportcoats. Believe it or not, they are required to wear a sportcoat and tie to the dances and the sports awards. Anyway, Ben and I went to the local good will store and found this beauty. It is a wide whale cordory that is a dark yellow. It has wooden buttons. TONS of them. The tie is seriously hideous, and about 6-7 inches wide at the bottom. Anyway, this is what he wore. He was the big hit with all of his buddies. He said most of the male chaperones came up and said, "The sad thing is, I had a suit like that." I paid a whopping 12 dollars for it. His headmaster said to Ben, "Well that may be the best way anyone has pushed the dress code in a long long time. I can't argue with a 3 piece suit!"

This green linen sportcoat was 3 bucks. I'm sure this will be well used in many St.Pattys celebrations in his future as well. It has nasty huge white buttons. And yes, that striped shirt is supposed to make it even louder. It's a Brooks Brothers shirt. Amazing what happens to good clothes when paired with bad coats!

These are not great pics of him. He was "in a hurry" like he is most days anymore. He has some of the prettiest blue eyes. Worst thing about blue eyes is the "red eye" in pictures.

Linnette, that dress is absolutely gorgeous. I forget if that's the vida or the feliz but it's beautiful.

Love the pink hawaiian fabric too!
