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

[*Toadstool*]

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).

How cute! I digitize alot of in the hoop projects myself. They are alot of fun!

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

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!

Your kids are so adorable!

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!

Really cute! Hannah is obsessed with Strawberry Shortcake!

Here are some in the hoop stuffed animals if anyone is interested. There is a free one to try. They are all for the embroidery machine. There is one that looks exactly like Lumpy from Pooh. I was going to buy the rabbit, but he look so sad! I guess I can change his frown into a smile in Embird.

I lost a bunch of my multis, but I loved Arminda and Lydias dresses. Giselle one is my fav. So cute!!!
Loved the rainbow Saint Pattys dress too.

I'm working on painting Hannah's castle bunk bed right now. It is a pretty big project. Air brushing is not fun... not fun at all.

 

[SallyfromDE]

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.

She looks like an Irish Lass!

I love that! So cute! Thanks for the directions.

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!!![/COLOR][/SIZE]

It was heavy, kind of a satin but not quite. I am not sure what you would call it! I thought it was easy to sew with, but I don't have a problem sewing satins, so I'm really not a good one to ask about that!

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

They had a blast! They went out for ice cream afterwards too. They look forward to this all year.

Thanks for the link! And, thanks for the compliments! I love Giselle too! I have changed the design a bit since I made this one, it was my first. I do the sleeves a bit different now.

OOOH, I can't wait to see the bed when you are done!

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

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....

With Brian:

Wow Arminda's dress is beautiful! I love the pink satin sash with it. She is growing up and looking so beautiful. Lydia looks beautiful too! She looks like a sweet girl. So did you get to spend a nice quiet night at home?

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

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

Georgia is adorable in her new dress! Great job on the dress and thank you for the photo shoot.

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

I think it is perfect! Stitch is adorable.

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

I think Becca will love it! I want to make some for my little nieces!

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!

Take care of your DH. I hope he gets better soon it sounds so painful. Poor guy. Don't worry about the kids too much it sounds like they are in good hands.

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.

I can't wait to get this one. Let us know when it is ready! I would be happy to try it out for you...

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.

What a great gift! It turned out really sweet!

Someone recently posted a corset top that had "fake" lacing in the front. Can you repost it and tell me what pattern you used?

 

[Haganfam5]

I don't know if this is the one your asking about but here you go:

I used the corset top pattern and directions on youcanmakethis.com. If you have any questions just ask! I really enjoyed making it so Have fun!

 

[Jajone]

Perfect, that was it. Was it difficult? How big does the pattern go to? My DD is a 10/12.

 

[Haganfam5]

No, it wasn't difficult. I had never shirred before and it was easier than I thought. I think you could make whatever size you want. It is not really a "pattern" more like, directions. There are no pieces to print out and cut out. The top is done pretty much with rectangular pieces cut to the length you want and the width that you need according to your measurements. It has directions on how to shir with pictures and steps on how to piece everything together. Honestly, if I knew how to shir before hand, I could have done without the pattern and just used pictures to go by. I make a lot of things that way. If you need anything else, just ask.

I promise this is the last picture!!!

I redid the dress and the straps and finished it

This is the reason I rather give my sewing away than sell it!!! I am always second guessing myself, a while back I submitted one of the dress I made to ycmt and got an email that it was approved , but I chicken out and did not do it!!!!!

[twob4him]

Linnette it's gorgeous...I absolutely love the lace and the colors...its going to be such a nice gift!!!!





Thank you for all of the kind comments on the baby taggy quilt. But guess what...we may get a bit a snow tomorrow into Monday. They say maybe even a foot of snow! I sure hope I don't lose electricity! This will also hinder my trip to the hospital to visit my friend.

 

[revrob]

Well, I did it! I went off the deep end today! I've been drooling over a Baby Lock serger. I LOVE the jet air threading. I went to a demonstration this morning, and ran out of the store as soon as the demo was over because I knew that if I didn't I'd walk out of there with a new serger. I cam home, ate lunch, took a nap, and wok up really, really wanting that serger. SO, I went and got it! I'm the proud owner of a new Baby Lock Imagine serger. It stitches perfect. Every time! I'm absolutely amazed at this machine.

Since I purchased today, I got a bunch of extra goodies with the machine. I got a trolley bag, a workbook and a set of specialty feet. They were out of the feet, but I'll get them for free when they come back in to the store. I can't wait to get to work on this machine and show you girls what it will do. Did I mention it's amazing?

 

[billwendy]

thank you all for helping me decide (the eyelet it is!!)

NOW ....the funny note:

I had no idea it was a hawaiian print!!!!!!!!



When somebody posted about the print(i think it was danicaw) I put on my glasses and there it was the word aloha (tiny) in the print!!!!!!!
Now I am having issues with the print!!!! How could I missed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WENDY: is the fabric OK???????????? I really did not notice the "theme" I am waiting to hear from you to finish the dress!!!


Linnette

Linette!!! IT IS AMAZING!!!! Hannah is going to have one jealous big sister!!!!I love the different pinks in the ruffles - they are GREAT!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!! AWESOME!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!

 

[mrsmiller]

Oh Wendy !!!!! I am so glad you like it , I've been sweating this one and driving people crazy (sorry Crystal!!!! ) I was worried when I did not hear from you!!!!


I am doing the happy dance

Linnette

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Linnette, the feliz is sweet!

I love the pic of Tessa!

Arminda looks delighted with her new dress!

Carla- your dolly is my favorite out of everything Ive read today. I wish I owned a embroidery machine so I could make her. Will you take an order?

Last night I finished up a very simple blanket/quilt for my friends baby's 1st birthday (which was a couple weeks ago)
Many of my girlfriends are about 3 hours away and I never get to see them. So today DH and I and Megan met them one friend is single and doing the corporate thing, the other has 3 kids. Her middle child has autism and he is 4 now, I was SO impressed with how much he has changed and improved. He was like a totally different kid from when I saw him a year ago. He still has difficulty with eye contact and speaking to some degree, but he was able to interact with the other kids well (ages 7.5,2.5 and the 12month old in a highchair) it used to be impossible to have a conversation with my friend. It was a fun, too short. I get so tired so quick these days- we came home from our hour and half drive each way and i immediately went to sleep.

I took some pics of my friends with the little quilt, Ill try and get around to posting tomorrow.

Happy Saturday Night everyone!!

 

[billwendy]

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!

AWWWWWW HOW ADORABLE!!!

Hello -

I am new to the Disboutiquers section of the Disboards. I have been trolling through seeing all the beautiful work everyone has done. I love the outfits I am seeing.

We are going to be at the BWV in April and I am sewing dresses for my twin 2 year olds. Their favorite princess currently is Snow White. I have looked on like and at local craft/fabric stores and can't seem to find a simple applique with Snow White's face only. Any suggestions as to where I can look online???

THANKS!!!!!!

Stacy

 

[MouseTriper]

Beth, my machine will skip stitches if the needle gets sticky! It doesn't happen often but I have been known to grab the wrong heat n bond and I pay for it while sewing.

Thanks Jessica, I will keep that in mind!!

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

So cute!!

Morning all.

That little doll is ADORABLE!!!!

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.

- dual purpose!!! Too funny!!! Thanks so much for the sweet comments. I really love how they turned out too!!
