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

[Disney 4 Me]

I made Arminda's Father Daughter dress last night. My Mom gave her pink dangling Mickey Head earrings, and she asked me to make her a dress to match them! So, this is what I came up with.

Ok, too many Arminda Sue's....

And Lydia in her Giselle dress. I was trying to figure out how to put some sort of ruffle on it to make it longer, but I decided it really isn't a ruffle dress. So, now it is just a shorter dress than originally!

The dress turned out beautiful! I love that she wanted you to make her something to match the Mickey earrings. And Lydia sure has grown. I remember the first pics of Lydia in that dress.

 

[LouiesMama]

I made a little dolly to send to sweet Becca. Hopefully she will make for a good friend in the hospital .

She's a miniature version of the Kimberbell Kids Doll. She's a wee 10" tall, and was sewn mostly in the hoop (meaning the embroidery machine did most of the work).

Hi Guys,

Just had to post this picture of Daniel and the radiation doggie - peetey!! how big is that dog!!!! Daniel loves him though!! Ugh - for those of you with experience, when will his hair grow back?

Fundraising efforts continue to go well - if you check his website you will see we are almost there !! YAY!!!

Glad to hear that daniel is doing well with his treatment. That's such a cute picture and the dog is HUGE!!

That's the cutest Elmo pants I have ever seen! I really should make something like for my ds with fuzzy Elmo..he loves to sit and spin around on the floor..it could serve dual purpose..having fun and cleaning the floors at the same time! LOL

Linette..the dress is BEAUTIFUL!!!

I was wondering what the girls wore!

Us poor middle children are always the neglected ones! So sad...

Another middle child here! My brothers have baby pictures all labeled and put nicely in an album, and I have no album, no pictures! Yeah, talk about being neglected...

Haha..that's too funny!!

That looks great!

Love the dress, and the pictures of the girls with Brian! Your girls are so beautiful!!

O

Love it..and look at how happy Georgia is!

I LOVE this! Please tell me how you did most of it in the embroidery hoop! That sounds like something I might like my machine for. Did you design the pattern or someone else???? Help! I am in I just love dolls.

I know Becca will love it too!

Minnie2 - We'll be keeping your DH in our thoughts and prayers and the kids too. I am sure it was hard for Kyle not knowing what was really going on.

Wendy was so sweet to send me some of the Nursery Rhymes fabric in a fabric swap. For the first couple of days after it arrived, DD didn't even notice it sitting on the coffee table. But yesterday she found it and she has been carrying it around, and playing peek-a-boo.

Thanks Wendy - not only will it make a great outfit for DD, but works as a great toy!!

ETA: Sorry about the first picture - it's correct in Photobucket, but sideways here!

Oh, what a sweet little peanut!! I love those pictures!!

Oh Teresa!!!!!What beautiful dress!!!! Love the fabric is that brocade satin? it is just beautiful!!!

that is the fabric that I need for the bridal dress, did you get it at Joann's?

Teresa told me she got that gorgeous fabric at Walmart for $2/yard!! Can you believe it??

Linnette, you are a nut! That dress is gorgeous just as it is!! I agree with Crystal, leave it alone!!

Thank you for posting all of the pictures! I have been in Georgia withdrawl since you took a hiatus!! That dress is just adorable! I also enjoyed the tour of your house in the pictures. I love your front door!!

So I finished the dress let me know what you think!

I saw the front and I thought "Awww...how cute! I love the applique."
Then, I saw the back and I thought "Wow!" That is just perfect!!

Morning all.

Well last night we took DH to the er thinking they were going to say you are fine here are some antibiotics ad go home well they admitted him He has a hernia and his bowel might be obstructed so they kept him for observation and more tests this am. It is possible they will do surgery today but if not it looks like he will need it anyway s part of me just wants to get it over. I fear he will have another blockage ad if it isn't obstructed this time it will e next time. Since he only has a small intestine he can't afford to loose any more., So I just wanted to pop in ad let you know what was going on. I am going to down some coffee ad head to the hospital. My girlfriend kept the kids last night and will take them today. Nikki and her dd have a party and their last cheer game for the season. So I am sad I will miss it. I actually feel very guilty I am missing it but I keep telling myself I coached football cheer I went to every bball game cheer and a coaching next football season again so one game isn't bad. I guess. When I left the kids last night Kyle was freaking out he wanted me I felt so bad but I knew I had to go to George but the others guilt never ends does it.

I am going to go back and check out all the gorgeous stuff that I know was posted while I Finnish my coffee if I don't comment on it I am sorry but know that I think al of you are amazing!

Marlo, don't you feel guilty for being with your husband. He needs you today and I'm sure your kids will understand. I will be praying for George today, and for you.

I made a little dolly to send to sweet Becca. Hopefully she will make for a good friend in the hospital .

She's a miniature version of the Kimberbell Kids Doll. She's a wee 10" tall, and was sewn mostly in the hoop (meaning the embroidery machine did most of the work).

Carla, that is just perfect!!! I absolutely love it! I know Becca will, too! Is that doll sold as an in the hoop project, or did you modify it to make it that way?

Marlo-I will be praying for your DH and your family. My DH had to have hernia surgery not long after we got married. I know how nerve racking it can be. Hopefully they will be able to resolve the problem and keep him from getting worse.

Too CUTE!

Teresajoy- The dresses and the pictures were wonderful. The family looked so happy and I am sure they had a great time!

princesskell- The St.Patty's dress came out adorable and I love all the pics. I guess you have a hammy too!

Off to the kids basketball game!!

 

[LouiesMama]

Thanks for the sweet compliments on the dolly, ladies!!!

Kim and I are working on turning her into a product for SWAK. She's all digitized, we just need to finish getting the eBook together.

Basically, the machine stitches out the facial features on one layer of fabric, and then a second layer of fabric is placed over the first layer, and the machine stitches the layers together in the shape of the body parts. All you have to do is cut them out along the guidelines (also stitched out), turn them right side out, stuff, and assemble. Even the hair and clothing are made in the hoop!

I had so much fun matching Becca's hair and eye color, and I made the jammies out of her #1 fave color.

 

[LouiesMama]

So sorry you are going through this! I hope they get him fixed up and home to you very soon.

Nooooo!!! Make one for us without the embroidery machine too!! Pleeeaaaase?

The dolll is adorable and Becca is sure to love her!!

Tessa went to her very first dance a couple of weeks ago. It was the father/daughter dance at her school! I didn't make her dress, she's actually had it since she was 3 years old. But, it still fit and I just love the color of it on her! She was so excited to go to the dance with her daddy! She wanted him to wear his police uniform, but he declined.

Lydia had to get in on the action, too. Notice her adorable outfit, made by our very own Stephres.

Stephanie also sent Tessa this gorgeous Alice in Wonderland outfit that Megan had outgrown. I've been in love with this dress since she posted it!

Sawyer picked out his own outfit this day. My trip report readers may recognize what he's holding in his hands!

We went to Logan's to eat and look what good use Tessa made out of the little purse that matches the outfit!

 

[teresajoy]

You guys sure know how to make a girl feel good!! Thank you for all the wonderful comments on Arminda's dress and the girls! I think they are pretty darn cute myself! Brian too! All these comments make me want to go sew something else!

!

HOW adorable!!!! AWWW what a little darling!!!
And, I've never yet seen someone's pictures be sideways or too big when they say they are right in Photobucket but wrong here! Somehow, they always look wrong on the posters computer but right to the rest of us!

Oh Teresa!!!!!What beautiful dress!!!! Love the fabric is that brocade satin? it is just beautiful!!!

that is the fabric that I need for the bridal dress, did you get it at Joann's?


OK.... so I went ahead and finished the dress, for some reason I could not get the straps to look right (I am going with the pictures on the tutorial) I keep missing the c shape for the straps and somehow they do not hang right


back

Linnette

Linnette, are you trying to make the rest of us look bad????? COOL IT! That dress is perfection! LEAVE IT! The straps look great! There is absolutely nothing wrong with them! I am so in love with that cute dress and I FORBID you to do anything else to it!

And, like Heather already said, I got that gorgeous fabric at Walmart for $2 a yard! I went back the other day to see if there was more, but it was all gone. It would make a gorgeous wedding dress. I'm also thinking it could work as a Mary Poppinish dress too.

OK its done! I am so proud of myself and this dress. I dont know why, but I just really am!

So Georgia really really really liked it too! She put on a modeling show for us tonight when trying it on. Get ready because she said she wanted my Disney Sewing ladies to view it too! Grab you seats and , and welcome to the show!

I wasn't going to post them all, but she said I MUST! hahaha SO there ya go! On to the next sewing project.

Please tell Georgia thank you for the fashion show!!! I love lots of pictures and Georgia is such a cutie. You could see how much fun she was having and how much she loves her pretty new dress! And, like Heather said, I was enjoying the little tour of your house and all the little Georgia pictures in the background! So, good for her making you put all the pictures in!

Jackson is 12, Ben is 16, and AGM is 4. You should have them take pics. They come home each time with some cool pics.

I love the dress and the sash on Arminda! It looks so sweet, but her hair style looks so grown up in the back. I really love the sash. Is that the Carla C one?

Lydia looks so pretty in her Giselle dress. I had forgotten what that looked like!


Here is how I describe my kids..."Kissed by the fairies." They are lucky, and blessed, and while I know I am partial to them, they all have beautiful blue eyes!

Thanks Maureen! Yes, that is Carla's sash. I think it was really worth the extra work to make it. It would have went together really quickly, but as I was sewing the two sash pieces together, I realized that instead of sewing the two sash pieces together, I had actually folded over one piece and was sewing it to itself!

Lydia's dress got a bit shorter this year! And, when she went to put it on, we could not find the ribbon that hangs down the front or the flowers. So, I had to find some other flowers and put them on real quick before they left. I couldn't find any matching ribbon though. So, I think we'll have to run to Hobby Lobby and get some (the only place I've found around her with the right color).
We have lots of pictures of logs and bugs and other miscellanious nature things while they are out hunting (shh...don't tell Brian but I think Corey goes out more to take pictures than to actually hunt!) but no people!

I had forgotten how close in age Jackson and Arminda were. She will be 11 in May. I think I will not let her see Jackson's pictures!

Kissed by the fairies, I just love that expression! So true! Your kids are just stunning!

So I finished the dress let me know what you think!

I love it!!! I'm a big sucker for ruffles!!! Perfect!!! Just perfect!

Oh Marlo, I'm sorry. Do not feel guilty! You are a great mother, but right now, George needs you. You are doing the right thing. And, because you are a great mother, your kids will understand! I will be praying for George and you today.

Oh Carla, that is just so cute!!! I am in love with it! I LOVE dolls. That was so very sweet of you to make for Becca. I'm sure it will bring her some comfort and happiness in the long weeks ahead of her.

Ah yes, I recognize that sword!

Thank you for posting all of the pictures! I have been in Georgia withdrawl since you took a hiatus!! That dress is just adorable! I also enjoyed the tour of your house in the pictures. I love your front door!!

oh you are very welcome for the tour, next stop the bedroom and bath! bwahahahahaha if you are lucky you might get a shot of the front and back yard.

princesskell- The St.Patty's dress came out adorable and I love all the pics. I guess you have a hammy too!

Oh yes, she is a HOG, I'd say Ham but she will hunt me down if I stop with the camera, then other times it takes a Billion pictures to get ONE good one... but she sure did love that dress, so it made it a lot easier to take the pictures. Right before that she was in tears because my roomie's daughter spoiled the surprise for the show and saw her in the dress. But we worked it out. hahaha

Tessa went to her very first dance a couple of weeks ago. It was the father/daughter dance at her school! I didn't make her dress, she's actually had it since she was 3 years old.

I am all done! I love the way it came out. The backing is from a baby blanket and its really really soft and cozy.

Quick Tutorial: I cut out fourteen 5.5 inch blocks from 4 fabrics and also 2 fuzzy blocks. I arranged the blocks in 4 rows of 4. I sewed the 16 blocks together to make a block panel. I cut little ribbon "taggies" for around the edges and secured them on the right side with pins. I placed the block panel right sides together with the fuzzy blanket backing. I smoothed it out and pinned around the edges. I cut the backing with an inch to spare around the block panel. Then I stitched around the sides going back and forth over the ribbon tags several times to make sure they were good and secure. I left an opening in order to turn inside out. I trimmed the corners and turned it right side out. I pressed and stiched around the edges and then stiched where the blocks meet (stitch in the ditch). And whaalaaa....all done!

It took me three hours or so cause I am SLOW! It still always takes me hours longer than you all when I sew anything. But I am really excited to give it to my friend and her new baby girl!

Here is my baby girl holding up the finished taggy quilt!

So I finished the dress let me know what you think!

I made a little dolly to send to sweet Becca. Hopefully she will make for a good friend in the hospital .

Ok I just had to post, because I have a new ticker !!!! DH has a convention to attend in September, so how could we possibly let him go anywhere near disney without us !!!

Yaaa for a Disney trip and a chance to make some outfits!!!

I made Arminda's Father Daughter dress last night. My Mom gave her pink dangling Mickey Head earrings, and she asked me to make her a dress to match them! So, this is what I came up with.

Ok, too many Arminda Sue's....

I love her smile in this picture:

With Brian:

Wow she looks totally perfect! I love the fabric...it looks like a heavy satin. Was it hard to sew with? Bryan looks so happy and handsome! I love Lydia's dress....how nice that it still fits!!!

I love her smile in this picture:

In her dress coat:

And Lydia in her Giselle dress. I was trying to figure out how to put some sort of ruffle on it to make it longer, but I decided it really isn't a ruffle dress. So, now it is just a shorter dress than originally!

With Brian:

Lydia wanted me to post a picture of her in her dress coat. She has another dressoat I like better, it's a gorgeou plum color. But, the cat decided it was a good place for a nap, so it needs to be dehaired!

They look so cute going off to the dance with daddy. I hope they had fun.

Love it! My DS2 is a "tag" lover since birth. Santa made him 2 of these blankets and they go everywhere with us.
