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

[Tnkrbelle565]

Hello everyone! I have been lurking on here for a few months. I just got my first sewing machine for Christmas and have so far made a pillowcase, a pair of pirate pants, and two sundresses. I love looking at the pictures of what everyone has created. You are all SO TALENTED!! I noticed a lot of really cute appliques and was wondering if anyone had a link to how to do them. Are they hard? I bought several pairs of jeans and t-shirts for my dd for $3 each and I would love to come up with some awesome appliques to give them life. Thanks in advance!

Heather did a great tutorial...there is a link on page 1 under the bookmarks

Whoo hoo!! I just got the small world faces fabric!! I paid a pretty penny, but I got a yard of it! I have been wanting and looking for this for about two years now!! SOOO excited. I looked around all day (it was pretty difficult cause I didn't know the name/designer) and finally found it on the site that shall not be named!! I can't wait to get it.

Sorry had to brag!!

I so totally see a summertime dismeet at Joann's!!! I am really hoping the Walmart still has fabric....I am going to call to check before I go. You go to OC in the summer right? Are you coming down this year? I will give you my phone number if so!


Sorry about the clueless MIL...Perhaps you could catch her on the phone or something and just say that your DD is going through a sensitive stage about her size...and suggest she not mention it to her especially if she is planning on buying her some clothes. And then you could sugar coat it with thank yous and how she is such a caring MIL for keeping your DD's feelings in mind.... Some people you have to train on how to behave normally!



Very pretty stuff today ladies! Welcome back to all the returnees! I am still on outfit number 2 and 3 of 24 myself....for my Nov trip. Work sooooooooo gets in the way of sewing!

I'm up for a dismeet in OC. My mom has a house on the deep southend, and we will be down on Saturday of Easter weekend, but we have to go home for a memorial service on Easter Sunday. We must get our 1/2 price Playland tickets and some Mack and Manco pizza. I am really ready for a good piece of pizza !! But we are down every weekend in the summer, so maybe we could meet up somewhere !!

We are on 57th and Asbury. My mom owns the downstairs, cousin owns upstairs, my mom's sister has a little house on 58 and Asbury and my great uncle also is on 58th and Asbury, so we have quite a family affair going on down there.

Everything looks great! Where did you get your son's two-colored tees? They look so great with the appliques on them. Nice Job!

HURRY and post them! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to MORGAN! I wasn't sure which day it was! Okay, I'll give you until tomorrow so you can spend some extra time with Morgan (even though she probably sleeping already).

What pattern are you using? I had this issue this past week and went off the size vs the chest measurement (chest was a 3T size was a 5T for a 6 or maybe 7 year old). It turned out bad!

I tend to more or less go off measurements but once it was all sewn up it seemed like it would be okay but wasn't. I would probably go with the 5 but that is a guess since I don't know the pattern. Also depends on if you want a shirt under it or not. If you put a shirt under it won't look nearly as big and you'll want room for the shirt.

I'm not sure if it's going to have a shirt under it or not, but I'd guess they would. The pattern I'm using is the Pouty Princess apron dress from YCMT. When I was making one for my dd, the size 1 (what she'd wear in retail clothing) was too big (measures 21" in the bodice, her chest is about 18" around).

That's a tough one....I'm in the middle of a very long break from a frustrating pattern along these lines....It told me the pattern was too small for me, so I added the appropriate amounts according to what it SAID...now it's HUGE! And it's a really fitted bodice, so I'm having to take it in everywhere!

As a rule of thumb, you want about an extra 2 inches from the actual chest measurement, in order to ahve a nice fit, but not baggy, kwim?

I think you're going to have to go the tedious route, and measure the pattern pieces.

I think I'll do that, hadn't thought of tracing the pattern pieces out and measuring them. Sometimes I'm not smart like that, lol. I also didn't know about the two extra inches, that's definitely good to know!

Your daughter is so adorable, she's very photogenic! Looks like she had a great time, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her!

Happy Birthday Morgan!!!!

Morgan looks so happy at the happiest place on earth! Look at her smile from one ear to the other! Look at the gorgeous day too and not a zillion people on main street!

I would go with the size 5 then. I tend to go more by measurements and agree with the 2 inches of wiggle room. I am sure it will turn out beautiful!
