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

[Jajone]

It looks great!

What I did was cut out the guitar shape then cut out heat and bond a little smaller than the guitar shape and iron it on the shirt. Then I sewed around with a straight stitch so it would fray a little on the edges.

I have got to get sewing! We go to Disney for spring break in two weeks and I have three outfits to complete!

Thanks for the mini tute. That is the same fabric I was considering using too!

Here is my guitar shirt for Dallas.

I take the heat n bond all the way to the outer edges, sew around and then pull up where the heat n bond was ironed all the way down. Pull it up to the stitching. It makes for a nice light fray, it won't get stringy. So if you want that part of it then don't take the heat n bond all the way to the edge.

In the picture it had not been washed at all.

I have been working on a Cat in the Hat outfit all day for a big give. I really hadn't planned on doing CITH but changed this morning. I am not sure what I think since I hadn't really planned for it.

I can't tell what kind of stitch you used, was it a straight stitch too?

Hi Everyone!

Size question -

My neice Bekah, who is 17 yrs old, wants me to make her a roundneck top - evidently tops like that are "in"!! lol!!! so, I have the That Darn Cat pattern for up to a size 14 - Bekah wears a Jr's size 3/5 - she is tall and thin...Here she is sitting next to her 6 year old sister..

and just hanging out

Any ideas or help out there? Will the size 14 fit her if I lengthen it a bit? will the collar part fit? Im always sewing for her younger siblings, so I'd love to do this for her!!
Thanks!!

I just finished one and they go together really easily. So maybe a solution for the neck issue is cut out the largest size pattern, cut off the seam allowance, (I assume you're using some kind of paper) and drape it on her neck, pinning where you would put the buttons, then see what you think.

As far as the arm holes go, maybe have her wear a t-shirt she wasn't planning on wearing for a couple of days. Drape the neck piece like above and put a pin in the shirt where it falls. (One in the middle, two in the sides where the arms come in, there are dots on the pattern) Then after you get the sides sewn together but BEFORE you hem the armholes, hold the uh...bodice piece up to the pins in the shirt and see if you need to open up the arm holes a little or not. YOu could pin it to the shirt too to see how it will look lengthwise.

Clear as mud?? HTH some. Good luck!!

THats what Im most worried about is the neck - do you think a girl with a size 14 neck is much smaller? bekahs neck is long and thin...for the shirt part of it, I could widen it an inch or so (thats how the pattern goes up sizes) - o ooh, do you think I could do the same with the collar? im kinda worried about the arm "holes" being too tight...any thoughts?

LOVE Dallas' guitar shirt!!! does he have jeans to match?

Love Megans guitar top too!!!!! how cute!!!

No jeans to go with it. I really wanted to make them but only found out about Rock Star Day the day before! Or maybe it was two days!

I think I would just enlarge it all the way around an inch or so, same with the armholes. I am guessing she isn't much bigger then the pattern size though. I think Tom tapes 2 pencils together to add the seam allowance on the vida (or something) but this sounds like a good solution for making bigger. Just trace around it and use the outside line then. I KNOW you can do it!

Thanks for the mini tute. That is the same fabric I was considering using too!



I can't tell what kind of stitch you used, was it a straight stitch too?

Glad you asked! I actually used a zigzag on this one. I have done it both ways though. I find the zigzag is easier when doing lots of round areas vs a straight stitch. I get a bit anal about keeping it even and it is much harder to do with the straight stitch. It is a very loose zigzag as in not tight like a satin stitch.

CITH is DONE! I am so happy with it! Pictures in the morning!

 

[MouseTriper]

Aww!!! I think 5 is such a big birthday!

Yeah, I think so too. And if you asked my little one she would say it is the most important birthday ever. Hahahahaha!!!

 

[Jennia]

Whoo hoo!!!!

I just bought a sewing machine on Amazon, which means the dress I'm finishing right now might be the very last thing I sew completely by hand!!! Plus now I'll be able to do neat appliques with satin stitch outlines!

 

[*Toadstool*]

Sadly to say, I think it is made for stuff like tablerunners. I found it near the Christmas stuff at Hancock's. It is not stretchy and a little heavy.

Oh, I bet there will be something like that at Hancock's around the holidays. Thanks!

I am dying to see that bed!!!! I can't wait!!
I tried the link and nothing came up. Thanks for the warning, I'll google it and see what I come up with!
ETA: I clicked the link again and it worked this time. It must have been my computer!

Hopefully I will be posting the finished bed in a week.

I am trying to do some spring cleaning which means organizing my fabric that is in piles on my floor.

I was wondering about the comic book boards, that some of you have purchased. Where did you get them? TIA

If you go to http://featheredfibers.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/fabric-stash-organization-and-tutorial/ there is a link to the comic book boards. I bought from them. They shipped really fast. I love the way the fabric looks so neat on them.
Does anyone have a better way to secure the fabric on there than straight pins? I am using all my straight pins! I worry they will come out too.

Thanks for the info on the comic book boards. I knew it had been discussed here before, but i couldn't remember what they were called.
Thanks, that would have been my next question! I think I will try to see if I can find a comic book store near me!

BCW comics in the link ^^ ships very fast. I didn't want to have to make a special trip to the city just to get them.

I am doing a little happy dance because I got a new machine!!! I got the Brother CS 6000i. I have done one thing so far, a Saint Paddy's day dress I will post when my model wakes up, but so far I LOVE it. I had a singer simple before, and this is soooo much better! It does so much more!

:congrats:

She wasn't very interested in modeling...

Now on to HS custom... I think the guitar shirt, can someone post an example for me to look at. Do you all just straight stitch around the edge and let it fray? Is there a trick to letting it fray, like cutting it at all?

She looks beautiful in the dress!!!
If you had any of the chenile by the inch I think that would be a cute outline guitar look.

I just wanted to tell everyone that I won a trip to WDW in October, right before we went on vacation. I haven't mentioned it before, because frankly I wasn't sure it wasn't a scam. Now that all the arrangements are finalized, I am telling!! I won a trip for 4; 4 nights/ 5 days deluxe hotel, 5 day park hopper tix and airfare for 4 plus all transport to and from airport, etc. The only thing not included is meals and spending money.

How exciting! :congrats:

Any ideas or help out there? Will the size 14 fit her if I lengthen it a bit? will the collar part fit? Im always sewing for her younger siblings, so I'd love to do this for her!!
Thanks!!

Definitely looks like a 14 would fit her. I'd measure the pattern and take her measurements. You could also just measure a garment that fits her well.

I have got to get sewing! We go to Disney for spring break in two weeks and I have three outfits to complete!

Cute guitar outfit!
Good luck with the outfits. Lets hope the sewing fairy leaves you alone... I hear people say that when something goes wrong with your sewing projects it is the sewing fairy's fault!

Love the rockin outfits!
Good luck with Cat in the Hat. I want to make one now too.

That is really cute. Hannah says she needs another Minnie dress like this one. Was that metallic thread hard to work with? When I use it on my embroidery machine it gives me fits. Did you do this with embroidery machine or regular one. I love sparkly thread, but it seems to hate me! Glow in the dark thread too...

My baby girl is turning 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where oh where did the time go??? We are having her Cat in the Hat party at the park tomorrow. She is so excited!! Ohhhh and she is getting her 1st real BIKE...with training wheels. Hahahaha.

Awww... Hope she has a great party. She will be so happy to get to wear that fab outfit you made her. I'm sure she will feel like a birthday girl should in that!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay I am off to...

what is the congrats emote??

Thanks!

The last time I used the metalic, I bought the really shiney stuff. Kind of like a plastic almost, and it was just awful to work with. This time I bought the actual gold thread. I have a combo embroidery/sewing machine. I haven't even touched the embroidery part yet. I plan to tackle learning that at some point soon. Anyway, I just used a close zigzag around the mickey and had no trouble. Now when I started to sew on the rickrack, I had to rethread my machine about a dozen times. Each time having to take the bobin casing out and clean it. The thread kept bunching up in a bird nest. It was soooooo frustrating!! I am sure it was partly operator error.

So, to answer your question it was fine on the thinner fabric I appliqued HORRIBLE on the thicker rickrack.

 

[ibesue]

CITH is DONE! I am so happy with it! Pictures in the morning!

Can't wait to see it!

Yeah, I think so too. And if you asked my little one she would say it is the most important birthday ever. Hahahahaha!!!

Yup, Kadie said the same thing on her 5th birthday too! I bet she says 6 is the best this year! She will be going to Disneyland, staying at the Disneyland Hotel!

Whoo hoo!!!!

I just bought a sewing machine on Amazon, which means the dress I'm finishing right now might be the very last thing I sew completely by hand!!! Plus now I'll be able to do neat appliques with satin stitch outlines!

I am still totally impressed that you make everything by hand!! You will love having a sewing machine. Which one did you get?

If she is wearing a 3/5 I wouldn't go with the pattern you have. I have made my daughter a roundneck top because she said they are in. She wears a 3/5 too and I used Simplicity 3799. It came out so cute, she had me make her 2. And it went together really easy. Very cute.

 

[jessica52877]

Here is The Cat in the Hat for a Big Give! I think I'll make the brother a matching shirt also. Either Thing 1 or something else along those lines.

 

[minnie2]

I just finished the fourth yesterday my daughter says there maybe a 5th writen in edwards perspective. Can't wait now I have nothing else to read

I am almost done with 4 and Don't want it to end! I want to be a Cullen! LOL You can go to her website and it has a bunch of extra like deleted chapters. Midnight Sun (Edwards perspective of Twilight) It also has a 16 page perspective of Twilight from Jacob's POV.

Also check out the website twilightlexicon.com there is alot of extra info in there about the stories that came from the author. Little things like apparently when Esme was still human she broke her leg and a handsome DR Carisle helped her.
Read the Sookie Stackhouse novels! VERY adult but still GREAT!
I am so ot a reader I just get bored to fast and they loose my interest and the Sookie books hooked me on it! So i figured i would try the Twilight books. My mom laughs she can't believe after 30+ yrs she finally sees me reading!

If you go to Stephanie Meyer's website you can read what was written. Someone released it before she was finished so she posted what was done and she doesn't know if she will finish it.

I know! i can't believe some one did that now it looks like that is all we will see of Edwards perspective!
Honestly I would love her to write some short stories or more books either about all the Cullen's or even a book maybe about Emmett and Rosalie's life, or Jaspers and Alice or Carslie and Esme. I actually LOVE Emmett and Rosalie I think more then Bella and Edward! Shocking I know! LOL

The first 200 pages of that book are on her website. It is called Midnight Sun. It is the first book form EAdward's perspective. Someone with a working copy leaked it so she posted it rather than have to figt the bootleg copies.

Isn't that crazy! that idiot ruined it for every one! I do think it is really cool she ended p posting it. I hope it is just that she needs a break from the Cullens for awhile and will go back to it.

I am doing a little happy dance because I got a new machine!!! I got the Brother CS 6000i. I have done one thing so far, a Saint Paddy's day dress I will post when my model wakes up, but so far I LOVE it. I had a singer simple before, and this is soooo much better! It does so much more!

This is the one I made for Nik. It is her Hannah Montana shirt with out screaming HM.

Hi Everyone! I haven't posted in a long time, but I've been lurking quite a bit and seeing all the nice stuff everyone has been making!

I was just notified on Thursday that we will be staying at the Grand Floridian Our trip is going to be 7/7/09 - 7/14/09, we are adding and paying for 3 nights.

I'm so excited and I don't know where to even start this time!

That is so cool! How did you win it?

I would hold the pattern up to her and see if you think it will fit.
If you want to enlarge it I would just add an inch or so in the center when you cut on the fold. That is how I enlarged Carla's simply sweet.

I have read all 4 books 3 times, and now my husband is into the story- but we are listening to it on CD-which is a whole different experience.

I am also reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels- which are shorter stories, they are very different vamp stories, but captivating in their own way.

Very cool your husband is reading it too! So is mine! He is on book 3! I might have to listen to them now!
It is crazy I have become obsessed with this story! I was the same way with the Sookie books so once I finish it will take me a few days to get past it LOL
LOVE the Sookie books! What book are you on? They get more captivating as you go on.
Who are you rooting for? Bill?Quin? Eric? I am so in Eric's camp!

dress #2

Does it remind you of anyone?

~Melani

Snow white!

The Sookie books are great. I have read the 1st 4.

Keep reading!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE me a tall Viking Eric! Book 4 was one of my favorite sookie books! So who are you rooting for Quin? Bill? or Eric?
Warning books 6 is hard to get through not as good as the others imo BUT get through it because book 7 is WOW!!!!!!!! I have 2 books with short Sookie stories in them that I still need to read and I have book 8 to read but I was waiting until closer to May to read them so I could go right to book 9 when it comes out.

I convinced my girlfrend to read the Sookie books since she got me into Twilight ad I kept teasing her with stuff from book 4 which I thought was really in book 3 so when I was asking her where she was in the story and I realized I was getting the books confused she was so mad that she had to wait for the stuff I was teasing her with.




I am almost done with my Wubzy applique. It isn't great but oh well. I am outlining it i black since Wubbzy is outlined in black and that may have been a mistake but I was trying to be authentic. I have been going over it twice and it seems to be looking a bit better. There are alot more curves then you would think him Wubzy! Do you guys normally go over the lines twice?

Oh and I finally shipped out all that stuff to my niece and nephew that I ahd been making and my niece it too cute! She called me to thank me(she is only almost 3) and my cousin said he just kept hugging the dresses. Then at night I get a call from her saying 'mommy' is telling me I have to take it off to put my pj's on and I don't want to' LOL So I told her I made her pj's too to go check the stuff Aunt Marlo sent. Then I convinced her to put those pj's on and then the next morning she could put o another dress I made her. I think it worked because she said ok but with a 3 yr old you never know!
So of course like any aunt would do now i want to make her more stuff! LOL Her bday is coming up!

 

[twob4him]

Cute!!! Love the animal kingdom and cat in hat!!!

 

[Twins+2more]

Hello All!!!


Twins and 2 (Michelle) love the Ariel outfit!!! I am adjusting the one I made for my DD. I am hoping to bring it on the trip! Is yours still fitting your DD???

It does not fit chianna, or sierra anymore, but it does fit one of the twins. That is good as it gets, however chianna is not too happy about it. I had to pinky promise her to make her something...and she said NOT a pillowcase outfit. GUess she actually thinks I can do as good as you...

Sounds like your well on your way to a trip too...you all have fun.

 

[Shannalee724]

Here is The Cat in the Hat for a Big Give! I think I'll make the brother a matching shirt also. Either Thing 1 or something else along those lines.

I really like how this turned out. Very cute!

 

[HeatherSue]

I forgot who was so hooked that they made a bunch of aprons inspired by the characters I will say my mind is flowing I just can't think about what to make! I am even the odd all I LOVE Emmett! He is so cool! I even love Rosalie of course I love them all but for some odd reason they are my favs. go figure.

That would be Misty, Spongiemomma

Did you guys read Carlas blog update???? She has a new dress pattern in the works. Woo hoo!!!

I can NOT wait for that pattern!!!

I am doing a little happy dance because I got a new machine!!! I got the Brother CS 6000i. I have done one thing so far, a Saint Paddy's day dress I will post when my model wakes up, but so far I LOVE it. I had a singer simple before, and this is soooo much better! It does so much more!

That is a great machine! I have a fancy schmancy Viking embroidery machine and a Brother CS6000i. I prefer to sew on the Brother (and I just use the Viking for embroidery)! I also had a simple Singer before I got the Brother! We're sewing machine sisters! Now you just need a generous cousin to give you an embroidery machine, like mine did!

Just wanted to drop in & say "HELLO ALL!"

Hi Laura!!!! Long time, no see!

She wasn't very interested in modeling...
http://

She looks gorgeous!!!!

What is wrong with that doll? Seriously disturbing!! I can't stop looking at it. Was it created for a child that might have some physical abnormalities? If that was the case, I would feel terrible. The funniest is your comment about the feet.

It's supposed to look like a preemie! Let me tell yah, Tessa was a month early and she looked NOTHING like that horrid doll!!

If you people haven't seen the most hideous doll in the universe yet, click on my Disney-hater TR link in my signature. It is a MUST see!

I'm stumped! I was thinking Snow White, but the pink straps make me think that's not it. But, it's adorable!!!

Ok, I just had more than 20 pages to catch up on. I started to multi-quote then I hit reply and it was sooooooo long!!

Don't be skerred of the long multi-quote, I'm not!

This outfit is SO cute! Tessa was "panting" over it! So, I'd say that's a thumbs up!

My baby girl is turning 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where oh where did the time go??? We are having her Cat in the Hat party at the park tomorrow. She is so excited!! Ohhhh and she is getting her 1st real BIKE...with training wheels. Hahahaha.

Taylor!![SIZE]

ETA: I can't figure out why that won't resize!

Tessa's birthday is Thursday. I didn't realize she and Taylor had birthdays so close. Tessa is turning 6. Where does the time go?

Whoo hoo!!!!

I just bought a sewing machine on Amazon, which means the dress I'm finishing right now might be the very last thing I sew completely by hand!!! Plus now I'll be able to do neat appliques with satin stitch outlines!

Woo-hoo!!! Congrats!! What machine did you buy? I can't believe you hand-sew.

Here is The Cat in the Hat for a Big Give! I think I'll make the brother a matching shirt also. Either Thing 1 or something else along those lines.

Size question -

Any ideas or help out there? Will the size 14 fit her if I lengthen it a bit? will the collar part fit? Im always sewing for her younger siblings, so I'd love to do this for her!!
Thanks!!

I like the suggestion of using paper or sizing again a shirt that fits her. I looked on Wikipedia and they say a girls 14 is bust 32, waist 26.5, hip 34 and back length 14.25 while a Jr size 5 is bust 30, waist 22.5, hip 32, back 15.

dress #2

Does it remind you of anyone?

~Melani

Very cool! I like the subtle feel of Snow White. Could be worn anywhere.

Here is my newest. I made this for a co-worker's grand daughter. They are taking her to Disney in June and wanted to give her a custom for her birthday tomorrow as a way to announce it. I was told that she doesn't have a favorite Disney Character but loves the Cheetah Girls. So, I tried to come up with something inspired by them. I didn't get a bow on the Mickey head to make it a Minnie, but I think it still turned out ok. I used CarlaC's A-line and Easy Fit Pants in capri length.

WOW! Love that and don't normally like animal print or glitzy.

Yeah, I think so too. And if you asked my little one she would say it is the most important birthday ever. Hahahahaha!!!

How cute! Hope Taylor has a magical day!!!

Whoo hoo!!!!

I just bought a sewing machine on Amazon, which means the dress I'm finishing right now might be the very last thing I sew completely by hand!!! Plus now I'll be able to do neat appliques with satin stitch outlines!

Congrats! How exciting! I can't imagine sewing an entire outfit by hand-I don't even like doing buttons by hand.

Here is The Cat in the Hat for a Big Give! I think I'll make the brother a matching shirt also. Either Thing 1 or something else along those lines.

WOW! So perfect!

Love this. What a cute outfit for AK!!

This turned out so well. Your appliques are always so perfect!

Minnie2: I was a Twilight fan first. Love the series, but lean toward Jacob's side. Where on Stephenie Meyer's site are the pages written from his perspective? I'm now seven books into the Sookie Stackhouse series. Everyone I know loves Quinn, but I'm with you...ERIC all the way!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Teresa-I just read on another thread that the prepaid photopass CD no longer includes free shipping. Just thought you'd want to know. Lots of folks are complaining about a total lack of photographers other than at character greets. I've got to say I didn't really notice that when I there in January. I didn't get too many non character pictures taken due to all the rain we had but we saw photographers.

I'm rethinking what I'll want to do in May. I was thinking maybe I should just skip it totally but now I'm wondering if a share wouldn't be a good idea.....
