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

[3goofyboys]

Hey I finally got photobucket to work! Lily wanted to wear her shamrocks like Megan today! It was kinda warmish and spring-fevery here today! (I know, I like to use pretend words)

I love the outfit and Lilly is adorable as always. Everytime DS3 sees her he asks who she is. I think he might be smitten (or it might have something to do with the fact that we know no girls and the idea of a girl his age is so foreign). I'm jealous of your green grass; our grass is yucky brown right now. We need to turn on the sprinkler system, but I'm worried we'll get one more freeze and then I'd be in a pickle!

If you dont mind me asking were did you get it from I am thinking about getting a new one and I will have to travel were ever I get it from.

I'm sorry, I didn't see this question before. I finally saw it when NaeNae answered. I bought my Imagine at Sharman's Sewing Center in Longview, TX. I don't know if the babylock website has a list of dealers? That might be a thought.

I have the Imagine Wave and it's an awesome machine. I absolutely love it and the jet air threading is wonderful. If you don't get the ruffling foot with your set of feet then be sure and buy it. It ruffles the bottom layer of material and attaches it to the top layer all at once. That is what sold me on the machine. You will love this machine.

I am loving it so far, but I've been really tied up doing a few other projects. I've not had time to sit down and do all that I'd like to do with it. I DO have the ruffler foot coming. It is part of the accessory feet add on that I still have to be delivered. I can't wait to get those feet in! I can't wait to see how quickly I can make a twirl skirt with this big guy!

I'M FINALLY CAUGHT UP. It took me 2 days to read everything that was posted while we were at the world. You guys were really chatty.

Thanks! My lawn is actually quite brownish. My whole yard is a mess in fact but no point doing anything now, a snowstorm is on the way.

Glad to see you got caught up! Now you and GoofyG need to get started on your TR's. I think you got 2 of them coming!!

Jham's yard is the prettiest. I am so jealous every time I see pictures. She has everything I want!

I meant that for the EXPERIENCED sewers! I made Aisling a top for the parade (and for when the leprechaun comes to day care) but that's it for me! She wants a twirl skirt to go with it. I have to remind her we got 15 inches of snow yesterday. She's not wearing a twirl skirt for a parade!!!

Why can't she wear a twirl skirt over snow pants.

I am soooo jealous. All I have are stinky boys so I don't get to make the beautiful dresses and twirlies that you ladies are making. I do get to play with other things though. I am going to try to post some pics so I hope this works.
The is a group shot.

This one is my Elvis Purse.

You had some extra stuff in the link. Cute purses!

Last night I made Jenna her dress for picture day today. The picture is horrible for some reason. I don't know why it came out so blurry. I made her the peasant top, dress and a pair of shorts to go under the dress. I also made her a set of bows and a pair of socks that she didn't get to wear, because it was too cold.

That is a cute dress.


Kaitlyn has to dress up as a Dr.Seuss character on Friday. I am at a loss for inspiration.

Our trip is only five months away, so I am goign to start sewing for the trip. I am going to make some of Carla's pattern (simply sweet dress, stripwork jumper...) but not sure if I should make them in a size 5 or 6? She measures about 23" around the chest.....do you think it will be too big if I make a size 6? If only I knew how much she would grow in 5 months! What do you think?

I've made quite a few of each style and they do run big. Maybe I should say "roomy." I prefer the halter style on my girls, looks more fitted. I made a size 4 halter simply sweet and both DD9 and DD2 can wear it. My advice, go with the 6 in halter style and it will be sure to fit (for a few years) but won't look too big. This is the same dress on both girls:

Hey gals....thought I'd share my first twirl...just finished it today

I love the twirl but boy is it a lot of sewing... and with no ruffler, oh I feel faint! You are braver than me! DD9 loves them too and knows how much fabric is needed to make one and when she goes to the fabric store she picks out her own fabric and marches up to have it cut. I have a lot of twirls she wants me to make including a St. Patty's day one. Seems like a lot of work for one day. Plus I'm making one for the Big Give I need to get working on. Yours looks awesome!

I've missed a lot of other great stuff that has been posted, good work everyone!

Okay, so I made the pageboy hat from YCMT and I have to say "ahh." The directions are no CarlaC directions but they are fine. Although the sizing ws a little crazy. Based on the head measurements DD9 needed and XL. Made to measurements, it was way too big and I needed to adjust it a couple of times (thank goodness for my trusty seam ripper!) Its just that it doesn't look as cute on as it does in the photos or on the babies that I've seen posted here. I think because on babies it is lower on their head. That may account for the sizing being too big for my DD. To make it wearable on DD9 it needs to be fitted and that makes it somehow less cute. I'll take pics tomorrow.

I went into the kitchen today and saw this...

Sierra who is 7 wrote a note that says.

To:Fairy
I am not mean. I even have a fairy book.
I Believe.
From: Sierra

How sweet. Which prompted a quick call to Auntie this morning to see if she had any Fairy fabric or ideas. I want to say Silvermist and Fawn are her favorites. Any ideas?

Get that girl a fairy costume stat! They have a pattern for the Disney fairies, I bought it when they were 99 cents but I haven't used it. If you need the number, let me know. Someone here made it (Elisa or Cindee maybe?) and said it wasn't easy I believe.

It just so happens that Auntie has that very pattern It would be helpful, however, if Auntie knew which fairy was which.

Was it Heather or Teresa who made a fairy outfit for a big give? I'd love to CASE that one, but where would I find it?

I didn't realize that about the sizing. I did make Jenna's Spongebob dress a little bigger than she needs, so maybe I can get two years out of it.

Hope you are feeling better soon. Aww I am sure whatever you make to match your Dr. Seuss shirt will be adorable. So did your new friend go fabric shopping with ya??

Thanks I am feeling pretty crappy still. But its to be expected. and, no he didn't go, only because I went to the dr first. He would have gone. He is off work because of the rain so he said he is gonna bring me a movie tomorrow and make me breakfast and clean up, and be gone before I have to pick up Georgia! and to think I was so nervous to go on that date with him. hehehe

Oh I really like that. Its so pretty. Like cotton candy! Jenna is such a doll.

 

[visitingapril09]

Oh I am so sorry that you got fooled too with that fabric. It is yucky to sew with. I was like you and was going to chuck it in the garbage but couldn't. I figured pj's with some better quality added it might make 'OK' use out of it and it did. If the pj's last for the week of our trip I will be thrilled!

Welcome home Kathy! I second the motion on the trip report by you and your DD!!!!

Jammy - absolutely adorable dress!

I love that spring patchwork twirl someone posted ... too cute!

I am so sorry I don't have time to post about everyones wonderful creations!

Yes, Cambellscott and I are frozen little shamrocks over here on the east coast (its 19 degrees out right now!) ....when is spring?????

 

[Stephres]

Cute! I wish the pictures was less fuzzy so we could see her beautiful face better.

I don't know if I mentioned it, but I love the touch of yellow in the dresses. The little minnie head attached with a ribbon is so cute too.

Hey- you Jersey girls aren't the only ones with the cold- and I am blanking on who it is, but I think we have one more regular in MA-

I know I am counting the days til daylight savings and I can't wait for this snow to melt- but yesterday was just TOO cold!! 14 degrees! Brrrrr!!!

Today my mantra is - I will finish this white dress!

 

[bear_mom]

I LOVE everything posted in the last few weeks, between work, sewing and dh being out of town I just don't have time to comment on everything.

I'm almost finished with dd's outfits for our trip, I just have one more top to finish and that is with the pre-shirred fabric from JoAnn's. Luckily thier princess dresses from last year still fit them.
