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

[jeniamt]

I have like 20 pages to go back and read since I've been so busy sewing. The major bummer is that school is cancelled tomorrow due to snow. AAahhh... they better still celebrate Seuss' birthday on Tuesday! Anyway, here are the dresses I made for DD9 and her BF. Thanks for everyone's help with the design, I think they turned out really cute.

And because my DD2 finally agreed to try on her dresses I thought I would post pics:

HELLO EVERYONE!! I am glad all those in the South are enjoying the snow. We have a foot coming our way!!! Oh my, I guess I have to get the shovel ready. All of our snow had pretty much melted and we were able to see the grass for the first time since early December! So much for thinking Spring was coming soon. 54 degrees 2 days ago and a foot of snow tonight! Oh, well, that's the beginning of March for you in New York!

Oh, Wendy, that picture is just tooo gorgeous!! I'm jealous! I hope you are enjoying your road trip . It looks like a great time there in Niagra! I hope the snow doesn't effect your trip home. I think the worst is going to be along the coast so that's good news for you up there! Maybe you will get some snow though and I am sure it will be beautiful.

Hello -

Love all the great things I see on this site. Where do you all find your appliques? I specifically need a snow white one...just her face...I am on the search!!!

Thanks!

Hi all - School just called...snow day tomorrow!

Jen - I just love love love the Dr. Seuss outfit! So creative and well done...who needs expensive dr seuss fabric if you can whip up something as cute as that. Props to you! I love the other two dresses too! Your DD's are adorable!

Avamadison - I saw some on Etsy. I don't think I am allowed to say anything more than that.



Bad news - my ruffler broke. The metal piece that drives the ruffler forward snapped. I am in the middle of two patchwork twirls and there is no way I can (rather will) gather 50 ft of patches. So that project is on hold. Oh well, I still have time.

I found a seller of fabrics galore with Disney everything...they seem to be importing fabric from Asia. This maks me a little nervous. I need to discuss this in pm if anyone knows anything about this particular seller.

I'm almost finished with my stuff for Jakes Big Give. I'm so proud of my self for getting it done early not a day or two before the ship date.

Here are some pics of the family shirts:

For Dad and Brannon

For Mom and Auntie

For Hannah

And for Jake

I was going to put this on the back of jakes shirt

But then I remembered he has to wear a backpack for his meds, so i think I will shrink the design down and put it on the chest on the front. Think that will look too busy?

I need to cut out and iron Jake's TOT shirt. And now, since I'm done and still have time I am thinking about making Jake a journal for his trip. This boy has just captured my heart. All of the Give families touch me, but there is just something about the pure joy in this child that really gets to me.

Thanks!

It depends on what kind of appliques you are asking about. For the Thing 1 and 2 dresses, I searched online for the images and printed them out in the size I wanted and then followed Heather's tutorial (link can be found on page 1 of this thread). These were my 2nd attempt at this kind of appliqueing.

Thanks! Oh my, I couldn't live without my ruffler. Well, I should say I wouldn't make a patchwork twirl without it! Yikes. The bottom ruffle would be insane to make without it. But I guess plenty of people do it.

Jacob: Wow, Arminda looks really pretty in that picture.
Megan: What about Lydia in her Giselle dress?
Me: I love that sash: it really makes the dress!

Arminda will be VERY pleased to hear about this conversation!! I told her yesterday that all my Diser friends loved her in her new dress. She said, "Um, did Stephanie see it?" I told her you had been sick. She said she was really hoping that you would see it, and maybe show Jacob........and Megan.

I am back from our trip. We got home yesterday. I want to thank all of you for the advice and offers to help me out last week when the lady from didn't send the dresses I ordered. I can't believe how kind all of you were you amaze me. So many of you offered to help. Well, Cindee (Livndisney) lives in Orlando and she made Grace a minnie dot pillowcase dress and drove over to Port Orleans and left it there for me. Can you believe that? To top it off she refused to let me pay her. I am sooooooooooooo thankful. I loved the dress and it was so cute on Grace. I cried to think so many people cared to help me. I just wanted to post a picture of Grace in her dress so Cindee could see how cute she looked in it.
Thanks again to all of you.

Yep, I can' totally believe that!
Your daughter looks adorable!

I haven't sewn alot since our trip. But, I did make a couple of outfits for a friend who is taking her twin girls on their first trip to the world.

The front and the back.

Oh Tom, these are beautiful!!! Those twins are going to look adorable!

Oh look at you little cutie!!! How sweet of Cindee to make that dress for you guys!!!

I got the luggage out and did the food items and bathroom items and then started on the big bag for our clothes.

I couldn't find any of DS summer things inside so I checked the garage. Nothing! So I went to the wood shed and found a tupperware bin with his clothes by just peeking inside the lid.

When I brought it insde I opened the lid to see shreads of paper. I knew immediately it was bad. Every pair of his shorts, all his shirt, basically the entire bin had been eaten by mice. I don't have a clue how they got in but they eat every item that was blue or navy. They went all the way to bottom of the bin. I just threw it all in the trash.

Now I have to hurry to make DS board shorts to match his custom clothes. I guess it is going to be a very busy Sunday/Monday.

Thanks friends for the support and yes it is funny that I didn't remember what day I am suppose to leave. I am laughing...now.

Oh no, I hate mice....well there are one or two that I love....aka, Mickey and Minnie!!

Thing 1 and 2 look soooo good! I am impressed how you did so good with those tiny creatures!
Your DD2 is 2 I am guessing? lol.. I don't know if the 2 means 2nd child or age 2? I don't really let Hannah decide if she is going to try something I am working on. I was just wondering if I am lucky or if she just hasn't hit the age yet. She generally fusses when I want her to try something on in the process, but when I am finished she is glad to put it on as long as I don't make her take it off.

Thanks!

I had also posted a link of one I found on etsy, but isn't just her face. It is a bust of her. Here is what jham has said though.

If you are looking for an embroidery machine design there is this one, but it's in a set. You could ask her if she'd sell it individually. I have purchased from her before and her designs are great.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Princess-Girls-...|240:1318|301:0|293:4|294:50#ebayphotohosting

If you don't have an embroidery machine, just go to the first page of this thread and find Heathersue's bestest applique tutorial and you can use any or parts of any image you want by scanning or copying a coloring page or whatever image you find on the internet.

Love the shirts. I especially love the ones you did for Hannah. They are just perfectly girlie. Not sure about the design on Jake's shirt. I am horrible at stuff like that. I think the designs are beautiful though.

Thanks for the comments on the dresses I made for my friend. The girls are 8 months old.
Cindee, the turquoise fabric is from Lila Tueller, her Woodland bloom collection. You can check out her blog here. She lists where her fabrics are available.

Tracie, those Wish shirts are fantastic! They are sure to be thrilled with them! Love how you cut out the designs! Very custom!

I have been cursing at my serger lately.
I am very jealous of that new Baby Lock that Shannon got! I need to save all my pennies to afford that one!

Is it Spring yet? I guess the groundhog was right!

Enjoy your extended weekend to all those dealing with the snow!

It snowed here today. We got about 2 inches.

Get ready for too many snow pictures

Ethan at the neighbor's house

My mom called yesterday afternoon from Atlanta saying it was snowing HARD and the flakes where big and OMG they are huge! I told her to keep the snow by here here is chicago we have had enough!
We also talked about al the kids who probably never seen snow before. Then I reminded her how my kids didn't really see snow until we moved here. Though I do have a picture of Nik at about 2 in my yard in Atlanta with a dusting on the ground.
So did it all melt?

Hi Everyone!!

Here is the view from our hotel!!

I am torn though - we are supposed to get a big storm in Philly tonight!! I kinda wish I was at home - we came up here to see snow, and its very cold here but no snow!!!! ERRRRRR!!! Just my luck!!

April, you crack me up - Great attitude!!! you can whip those shorts up in no time!! You are a pro!!!!!

Tracie- The wish shirts are prefect! They are going to love them!


I finished my 1st bucket hat! i will try to post pictures later, Maybe Nike can wear it. It is for my nephew.
It felt so good to just relax and sew something! Friday night and Sat morning in the hospital all i kept thinking was man I wish I could bring my sewing machine.

thanks for all the wishes for George. Hopefully I will know more today!
As if things weren't rough enough right now my dish washer broke! IT won't stop running UGH!

Thanks.

Love the Dr. Seuss dresses. Still can't believe that those and the cupcake are your first appliques. Way to go.

Looks cute on Nik, but will look just adorable on the 2 yr old with the rest of the outfit.

 

[Stephres]

So cute! I ran around this weekend looking for seuss material and couldn't find anything. Your things are adorable and I am sure they will celebrate his birthday tomorrow: they had better right?

Your minnie dress and cupcake dress are very cute too!

Arminda will be VERY pleased to hear about this conversation!! I told her yesterday that all my Diser friends loved her in her new dress. She said, "Um, did Stephanie see it?" I told her you had been sick. She said she was really hoping that you would see it, and maybe show Jacob........and Megan.

I think he was surprised at how grown up she looked. I knew as soon as I saw the pictures I had to show them. Megan loves Lydia's dress too!

Get that girl into modeling! Nik is soooo cute wheneve you show a picture of her, I think she belongs on tv or something.

Oh, the hat and two outfits are super adorable too. Great job on them!

Tom, the baby dresses are super cute!

Tracie, great job on the Wish shirts!

No snow for us, so it's back to school.
