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

[LuvGoing2Disney7]

hello Everyone... Ithas been at least a week since I was on here.... I was so busy etc from sewing and life... But I am going on a quick vacation for spring break to exciting Tucson AZ. But it is sun and lots of pool time...
here is what I was working on!
Lori

How adorable. Your outfits are always so cute. Did you ever sell that Pooh dress you made?

She told my cousin that the tooth fairy was trying to pull it out probably and dropped it down her throat! hahaha oh man too cute. So here are the pictures

She is so very cute. Love the notes too

Here is The Cat in the Hat for a Big Give!

Jessica I love that outfit.

What a wonderful picture! Not only did you make the hats I see youp put every kids name on them too! Dallas' class really didn't celebrate Dr Suess day beyond coloring a paper and I am sure they read a book. I think I'll make one just to have around!

I did put their names on them. I'm a germaphobe. Thanks to Heather for explaining how to embroider without hooping it went fast

Ryan's class celebrated all week. His teacher is wonderful.

Those hats look so awesome!!!!

Thank You

I finished my "very much cased cause I haven't an original idea in my head" outfit for one of our two MK days. Its a patchwork twirl in.....wait for it....wait for it.....red dot, black dot, white and yellow dot. And no less orginal..a white tee with a minnie head and ribbon. Ok so its not original but only we know that on the Dis...everyone seeing it will think I am a genius! [/COLOR][/SIZE]


ETA: I have no pics of it cause my DH is in Florida with the camera...so...you'll just have to wait!

I am doing the same thing for our Disneyland trip coming up! Can't wait to see pictures!

Thanks Jessica. Drew has been having about 20 seizures a day for quite a while now. It's almost a routine. He does have more when we travel but it's become so much a part of our daily routine that I forget it scares others that aren't used to them.

Making the hats was VERY time consuming. It was oh so worth it though. The class was even featured in the school newsletter wearing their hats. You can see a pic of them on their school webpage

Poor thing! The hats are so cute! How did you make them?? Do you have a pattern?

Sorry the pictures are so gigantic. I'm still trying to figure out photobucket. I don't have the patience for some things. This is my Prince Charming outfit for a BigGive. I know some of you were interested in the PC style, so I wanted to share. I thought I'd send along a tshirt to go with it.

I don't know why I had all sorts of problems with it. I think it was just a time crunch and everything I could do wrong, I did. I will probably do another one of these, I think I'd like to do some sort of medallion on the left front, like a war medal or something. So it won't be so plain. I did blue rather then white becuase of the tshirt print. I also stayed away from the ropes, more becuase I wouldn't want to see a little one get caught on anything.

Does this work?

That turned out really, REALLY cute!!

 

[LuvGoing2Disney7]

Does this work?

Love that!! Great Job

You cracky me up!

Oh come on....with a ruffler they are easy....time consuming perhaps...but easy.

Ugh! NO pictures! Cathy you are now banned from the thread without showing us pictures immediately!

Ruffles are fun but I don't think my ruffler is my friend. I'll let you know some day when i am brave enough to try it! Dental floss is my friend! Never breaks!

Hand pinned ruffles are fun~

No rufflers here!

It's clearly just me....I should have had a boy. But then I would have to learn to do button holes. Guess I'm in trouble either way

Cathy- No ruffler to I have to do it the old fashioned way

Jessica- still don't understand the dental floss method. Hopefully someday I will

Cindee- you HAND PIN ruffles? Can you please please please let me borrow some of your patience next time we meet???

 

[LuvGoing2Disney7]

You all are so inspiring.

Friday night we went to an Opening Party for some friends that are opening a German Deli & Bakery. When I found out we were going to be able to go I just had to make his grandson a chef's hat. None of my pictures came out of him wearing it so I'll have to wait for his momma to send me the ones she took. Here's his hat.

And yes I finished cutting strings and taking basting stitches out on the way there

Next Project: Portrait Peasant Dress for Madilynn. It's all cut out ready to go

 

[jessica52877]

I'll try and take pictures tomorrow. I am always in a rush no matter what I am doing. A nice dental floss tutorial might be helpful! I think it helps that I don't do them that often. This month I have done my fair share of ruffles though.

 

[3goofyboys]

Do you guys ever make anything for yourself? I was thinking about maybe matching pants with the red w/white dots? I am kinda "pooh" sized so I don't wear much outside plain colors. any pics would be cool too!

I'm planning on making myself different tops for each day of our WDW trip. I have to make the boys' stuff first though, so it might not happen. If I do get to them, I'll share pics.

I love this and would love to CASE it for my boys! Did you use a pattern and if so, which one?

 

[t-beri]

Okay! Spring break is here and I have semi-organized my stash. It is really small compared to a lot of people, but I don't do lots of sewing!

The basket holds 1/2 yard and FQs--and a set of 4x4's I am going to make Giuliana a dress out of (as soon as I finish big gives.)

I also got a Brother 432 Lock serger! It came with a regular foot, a ruffling foot and another one that I can't remember . It also has an instruction CD which I need to watch ad infinitum so I can figure out how to use it!

Piper, you are my inspiration! I was just fussing about my one time organized stash spilling all over the place now. Great job, it looks so neat and tidy

Cathy made minnie dot pants for the DisMeet. They looked super cute on her!

OOPS, Kristine already said what I was gonna say. But hey, I did wanna point out Megan w/ her hand on Macs shoulder, she looks so sweet.

RUFFLES ARE FUN Did you hit your head this weekend? Ruffles are evil...evil...evil.

mmhmm...what she said

Anyone seen Mytwotinks lately?? I miss her and was wondering how those 2 cute girls are doing??? [

I've been wondering about Denise too. I haven't heard from her in a while.

You don't mess with the classics Cathy!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

I think I'm the only person who missed the Megan/Mac crush I didn't even notice it in that pic until T pointed it out! Was I there???

WOW this is AMAZING, I love the iron on that you put on the back, too!!!!

Clothes for myself for trips:

Not sure I have any good photos on this computer, but I just made some simple Mickey head applique shirts for dh and myself; one's a Mickey cut out of skull fabric with a red pirate bandana added on (dh is big on pirates, thought this would please him).

 

[billwendy]

Hi Everyone - if you could send some prayer Daniels way - he was admitted to duPont this morning with a fever - seems his Dad has been sick too - poor kiddo, this was his last week of rest before mega Chemo starts next monday (when he will have to be admitted to see how his body reacts to the chemo).....He will hopefully be discharged tues or wed. Also, his Dad was laid off again, but at least he got a month of work in!!

 

[GoofyG]

So my idea of both girls having one party just flew out the window. My oldest really wants a party by her self and I cave in today. Mind you the party is going to be April 4th, so I have a wk till I get the invites out. Now I've been planning a Mary Poppins theme party, which we are still doing for DD2. DD4 wants a High School Musical party. I need ideas, I really need a CUTE party invite. I don't like to by the party packs. I already thought of megaphones for them to decorate then they become the party favor. HELP!!!

 

[Piper]

Here is the pink Minnie dot for Lilyanne (Marena's Big Give) For some reason, I couldn't get the picture to show up on the other board!!

 

[jham]

This is so interesting because this was debated about on a thread a few weeks ago. I have always paid tax and shipping on the photopass CD's but others said they didn't. It adds about $14 to the cost always. I preorder too! My last one totaled $114.

On a photopass note I have found that there seem to be alot less photographers out and about. At Christmas I wanted one of all 3 of us by the castle and we waited then the photographer just walked away. Lin said hey, can we get ours done real quick and he said his camera broke. I wish he would have acknowledged that to begin or just offered to take one with our camera. I never got a picture of all 3 of us with our shirts on and I worked on them for HOURS!

This past trip I only had 6-7 pictures on the CD because we don't do characters. We would have had a few more had we hit AK but that was the only park we ended up not going into. I still enjoy the shares though but used to like to keep it to 4 people (because the pictures used to add up quick) now I would think I would want many more if I am only going to average 6-7 pictures.

Hmmm, I preordered my photopass on Feb.2 and I paid 99.95 total. No tax, no shipping.

Woo Hoo!! Im trying to decide between that one and the Project runway 5000 one - what made the 6000 win for you?



WOW!!! I LOVE IT!!



That is so cool!!!! We took the public LYNX bus from TTC before to sea world - it was soooo easy - I wonder if it goes to Universal too - it was really cheap!!! lol!!

I got this fabric for the girls for summer outfits - im not sure should i do flowers on the top and the solid with ovals on the bottoms? suggestions on the pattern to use?????

Where did you get that fabric? I love it. I saw it and immediately thought round neck top with the flowers as the main fabric.

I think I'm the only person who missed the Megan/Mac crush I didn't even notice it in that pic until T pointed it out! Was I there???

OOPS, Kristine already said what I was gonna say. But hey, I did wanna point out Megan w/ her hand on Macs shoulder, she looks so sweet.

I've been wondering about Denise too. I haven't heard from her in a while.

Do you people only pretend to read my TR? There was all sorts of discussion of Megan/Mac on there!

I'll go check on Denise on facebook. I think she's fine.

 

[JaimeK]

Hi all,
I'm just gearing up to do most of the sewing for our Disney trip. I've collected the fabric, cut some of it, but mostly I've been working on the Tshirts which are all done!
I posted pics here

I made a cute Thomas set for my nephew, I'll be making tons more shorts and skirts for my sons, niece, nephews, friends... birthday season is rapidly approaching too!

This is really cute. And ...

I love this and would love to CASE it for my boys! Did you use a pattern and if so, which one?

... I was going to pretty much ask the same thing. Did you use a pattern? The jacket looks like it could be a Chef's coat, which I really want to make for my DS (It just needs long sleeves). If you used a pattern I'd love to know which one, as I've search for a Chef's Jacket for little ones and can't locate one.

 

[danicaw]

Wow! That is crazy cute! I love it. Great Job!

You all are so inspiring.

Love the hat.
Great Job!

I hope to start on my first peasant this week! can't wait to see how they turn out.

I made a cute Thomas set for my nephew, I'll be making tons more shorts and skirts for my sons, niece, nephews, friends... birthday season is rapidly approaching too!

Very cool! Where did you find the Thomas fabric? I can only find fleece.
I did find trainfabric.com, but would rather go to a store and get it I know, silly me.
A friend of mine is 34 weeks preg. and her DS 3 is a big Thomas fan, and loves to cook with Mom. So I was thinking a Thomas chef's hat for the new big bro might be fun!

I just signed up for Facebook this week and am still figuring it all out.
Are some of you guys on FB? Tips would be handy and I would love a few new FB friends

You will catch on fast. I signed up and within a week I had tons of friends. People will crawl out of the woodwork and find you.

I am on facebook and would love to be your friend. I am not sure how you search, but my name is Shanna Filburn.

 

[minnie2]

Woo Hoo!! Im trying to decide between that one and the Project runway 5000 one - what made the 6000 win for you?

I got this fabric for the girls for summer outfits - im not sure should i do flowers on the top and the solid with ovals on the bottoms? suggestions on the pattern to use?????

What fun fabric!
i had a project Runway innovis model I got from a dealer and I LOVED it. The only reason I don't have it anymore is because I upgraded to an embroidery machine.

Today I am going to try to finish the twirl skirt with a gazillion squares. I thought it would be cute to have a bunch of little squares. I think it has over 100 squares. I have no idea what I was thinking when I started this.

Sounds cute to me!

Okay! Spring break is here and I have semi-organized my stash. It is really small compared to a lot of people, but I don't do lots of sewing!

The basket holds 1/2 yard and FQs--and a set of 4x4's I am going to make Giuliana a dress out of (as soon as I finish big gives.)

I also got a Brother 432 Lock serger! It came with a regular foot, a ruffling foot and another one that I can't remember . It also has an instruction CD which I need to watch ad infinitum so I can figure out how to use it!

YAY on the serger! I am jealous of your book shelf! I have my stuff in rubbermaid containers.

Woohoo!!!!!

We got our confirmation # for our room this morning!!! We will be in Disney October 8-13 staying at SSR!!!!!! We are so excited!!

Now I have to start thinking about customs. I will be sewing for DS8, DD4, Dniece4 and Dnephew10months and for any adults that might want something custom. I cannot wait!!!!!!!!!

Very cool! WE stayed at SSR last time! Too bad you weren't going a few weeks later a bunch of us are going to try to meet up!

Oh come on....with a ruffler they are easy....time consuming perhaps...but easy.


I finished my "very much cased cause I haven't an original idea in my head" outfit for one of our two MK days. Its a patchwork twirl in.....wait for it....wait for it.....red dot, black dot, white and yellow dot. And no less orginal..a white tee with a minnie head and ribbon. Ok so its not original but only we know that on the Dis...everyone seeing it will think I am a genius!


ETA: I have no pics of it cause my DH is in Florida with the camera...so...you'll just have to wait!

I am with you ruffling does't bother me. I am terrified of my ruffler foot too! I have read Carla's book and my eyes just glaze over and I get askeered!

You need to remember to post pictures when you get your camera back!

Thanks Jessica. Drew has been having about 20 seizures a day for quite a while now. It's almost a routine. He does have more when we travel but it's become so much a part of our daily routine that I forget it scares others that aren't used to them.

http://swift.auburn.wednet.edu/aj/mdavis/index.php

Look how great they all look!!!!!

Ok can everyone let me in on how to get do the ruffling? I was thinking about buying a ruffler foot for my brother sewing machine, is it easier to use the foot or do it by hand? And how do you do it by hand? I want to make a twirl skirt for my girls for our trip but the only thing I can do is make an Aline skirt or dress ugh!

I use my machine to put a basting stitch in and then just pull one of the threads gently. On my old machine I would set the stitches as long as they would go and tension tight and sometime sI would get lucky and my machine would do the work for me.

Sorry the pictures are so gigantic. I'm still trying to figure out photobucket. I don't have the patience for some things. This is my Prince Charming outfit for a BigGive. I know some of you were interested in the PC style, so I wanted to share. I thought I'd send along a tshirt to go with it.

I did blue rather then white becuase of the tshirt print. I also stayed away from the ropes, more becuase I wouldn't want to see a little one get caught on anything.

Does this work?

OMG I love them! The Tshirt is adorable but the outfit is GREAT PERFECT! I seriously might have to case that for my nephew! HUMMMM my cousin might get made that I am already planing my kids and her kids halloween outfits if they are all going to be together! LOL

You all are so inspiring.

Hi Everyone - if you could send some prayer Daniels way - he was admitted to duPont this morning with a fever - seems his Dad has been sick too - poor kiddo, this was his last week of rest before mega Chemo starts next monday (when he will have to be admitted to see how his body reacts to the chemo).....He will hopefully be discharged tues or wed. Also, his Dad was laid off again, but at least he got a month of work in!!

of course prayers said!

Here is the pink Minnie dot for Lilyanne (Marena's Big Give) For some reason, I couldn't get the picture to show up on the other board!!
