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

[tricia]

I'm using Tink pillowcases to make a simply sweet shirt. I have the bodice pieces sewn to the strap & am to the part where you topstitch across the top of the bodice. Since it has Tink's hair at the top, but not all the way across, which color top thread do I use??? If I use purple she'll have a purple seam across her hair, if I use yellow, it will show a lot on the 2 sides of her head, but prob not as bad looking as purple across her hair. This is my first time doing something like this, so PLEASE HELP!!!!

I would try a few stitches of each and then decide which I liked better. Sometimes you can be surprised, by how much the colour of topstitching DOES NOT show if you are just using a regular straight stitch.

Sometimes I actually change the thread in the middle of topstitching so it will match. If I think it is going to effect the look then I will, otherwise I just use one color.

Bad fingers! Actually great that you got more fabric. What are you going to make.

MUST STOP BUYING FABRIC! I love this, just bought some & I have no idea what I might use it for. Is that wrong?

Nope! Not wrong at all. I don't really have any idea either and honestly I am sure whatever I want to do that I'll need more then I got of it. I did think of just making a mickey head for me. I have always loved that fabric.

I was going to say that! If it is really noticable and something that you don't want to see change it out. But I would probably just use yellow. I am fine with seeing topstitching but I probably would prefer to see yellow on purple vs through the hair.

Isn't technology amazing???

That is so amazing!

Very cute!!

I would change thread to match.

That turned out really cute!

They did get scared and run. the goof balls were nice enough to leave a crisp fingerprint on the window too. so when they dusted it came up strong and clear. We feel very violated. Wednesday ADT is installing an alarm and we bought more locks. I just hate that my husband leaves out of town on the week days. We are going to take the CCW (carring a consealed weapon) saftey course and get a pistol for safety. Im home alone with the 4 girls all by myself. I know to keep it safe, locked, separate, and in a safe. I know I woulnt sleep that well tonight.

Glad that everyone is safe and OK, and glad that you will be getting an alarm on Wednesday. We got one installed when we bought the house, and I don't think I would live without one again. I armed the house at all times...when I am out and also when I am home.

I was going to say this too. If you don't want to change thread in the middle, I'd go with yellow. A purple strip on yellow hair might stand out a bit!

Question Alert !!! I know that you can buy those premade rouching (sp?) to use as decoration on clothing. I have seen them somewhere but now when I want to buy I cannont find them.

I do not know if you are talking about the trim ruffles (for example eyelet)that you buy premade by the yard...(eyelet,organza,etc)

for example

http://www.joann.com/joann/search/s...1110&keywords=eyelet+trim+&_requestid=2215304

I usually buy trimming at the store as they have a better variety and more assortment of colors but do a search on premade trimmings that should help

I am so excited I found this fabric on that (auction site), this morning & bought it...It was a bit expensive compared to what I would normally pay..but the first time I saw that I wanted it!! It was a buy-it-now option...and comes in 2yd increments!! They do have more available to! I think I am in heaven today! Now what to make with it!

Oh, I love it! Can't wait to see what you do with it

I don't know if they have pre-made rouching, but I have purchased things from M&J Trimming before... they have a good online store (mjtrim).

I finally got around to scanning my 3D ultrasound pick of the Littlest! Here ya go!!

Isn't technology amazing???

Yep, definitely looks like a boy! but seriously, Littlest is adorable!

I'm one of those that would change the thread color.

I am so crushed, got an email from the online store I ordered the horses on light blue and multi colored butterfiles and they are sold out of both fabrics! Grrr!

 

[bclydia]

Woohooo! I finished my first big give outfit.
Well, it's almost finished. I need buttons for the A-line first and then it will be done.
Eleora agreed to model it for me and I did take pictures. I'll post them as soon as I can get hubby to transfer them to the computer for me. I would do it but it requires his laptop.
Anyway, I just wanted to post because I'm excited to know I actually did it!!

LOOK AT MY TICKER ! ! !

 

[SallyfromDE]

I finished my Disney sets for my boys!
Here are my almost 3-year old's (Shirts are iron-on transfers the DISigners helped me with!):

One of the 7 month old's sets (I made him several onesies, not too many shorts):

And the Cars birthday banner for the upcoming birthday party!

Everything is great! The banner is cool!! I'll have to do that in our Nascar room.

I previously shared the first Disney Dress I made for my DD.

Here is the second Disney Dress I finished for dinner at 1900 Park Fare. It is my second applique.

And the third dress for dinner at Crystal Palace.

Thanks again for inspiring me to try something I never thought I could do. I cant wait to try my next applique.

These are all so adorable!

And Mini rant! Why do they not put tags in the back of little kids clothes all of the time. Poor Timmy gets so mad when he puts his pants on and the tag is in the front...he always puts them on backwards and when I tell him they are, he says the tag is in the back...see!

My nephew has a pair of shorts with the tag in the front. So he wears them backwards since the tag is supposed to go in the back. We are always yelling at him that he has his shorts on wrong. I don't know why my sister just doesn't get rid of them!

I forgot I have this! I got it about a year ago on I think the weight is like scrubs. Maybe I'll do something for out trip this year. Isn't it the most adorable?

Well now that's just cruel!

I am back too, lurking...

I am taking over as PTA president next year at the kids' school so they want me included in everything so I will know what I am doing next year. It is really taking a lot of time. Today I get to lead my first meeting (eek!).

Our spring carnival is coming up and I want to make something for the silent auction. What do you think would bring in the most money? Last year I made a dress and it did ok, about $30. Throw out your ideas please, you guys are so creative!

Megan said the highlight of her trip was meeting Bolt, so here she is:

I think the highlight of the trip for Jacob was the American Idol show:

Happy Monday everyone!

Great pictures! I LOVED Bolt & Rhino when I saw them in Jan too and I hadn't even see the movie yet. Good luck with the PTA!



Cute PJ's!

Love all the outfits! Great job...But now I may have to make me a Mickey and Walt shirt....hmmmm...

Thanks! I might make me a Walt & Mickey T. I think my DS will wear his on my birthday as we are going to MK so I was thinking I might try to make one with Walt holding a bunch of Mickey balloons but I'm worried that if I push the design down to accommodate the balloons it might put Walt's or Mickey's hands in the wrong place.

Lovesdumbo - DH just saw the Walt and Mickey shirt and feels he needs one for our trip. I really like how it looks with the ringer T.

Thanks! I think you have to make one for your DH. My DH's only Disney request is not to go. I like the look of the rigger T but would use 2 layers of stabilizer if you use an Old Navy T.

I finally got around to scanning my 3D ultrasound pick of the Littlest! Here ya go!!

Isn't technology amazing???

WOW!!!!!! So cool! How beautiful!

Here is the shirt I did for the Little Warrior Big Give. I made shirts for the entire family, but will only post pics of one. Amy (aka M_I_C_K_E_Y) did the design for me.

Great job!

Found this in my photobucket, sort of shows the stripwork skirt I made for dd to match the shirt she was wearing (not that you can tell since she wore a hoody all day long!). And yes, those are strings hanging on one side that I forgot to cut off, lol! That's what happens when you're sewing a few minutes before getting on the plane:

How cute is your DD!!!!! Cute skirt too!

tomorrow is my daughter mia's eye surgery , lots of you were so helpful when i asked about it a few months ago when it was first suggested. if you pray ,could you just send up a quick one for my little girl tomorrow? thanks so much kim

Prayers for Mia.

I have many many many queen size sheets that I was just going to toss since we don't have a queen size bed anymore. But then I thought... I could practice sewing with them! (I'm relearning - haven't sewn since freshman year of high school on my own) So..... what can I make with sheets? I was thinking pjs - Egyptian cotton pj's would be soooo comfy! (for the kids) Any ideas that would be easy for a novice?

Melissa

Easy Fit PJ pants or even capris would be a great way to start. I bet the sheets would make nice sundresses too.

Michael Miller makes something called Ruffle Rack - it looks like ruffled rick rack. I've seen it at jcaroline.com

That's exactly what I was looking for. I just found it on the Michael Miller website, I was trying to figure out how to post a pic of it but it seems I can't figure that out. Thanks so much !!! I have to figure out to post pictures, I finished DD Easter dress, it's Carla's A Line, came together good, but the side that you have to hand sew shut looks a bit wonky, obviously I need to brush up on my hand sewing skills. Check out my ticker, talked DH into staying on dis property in September, when he has a conference, now DD and I won't have to worry about taking taxis to the parks while he is slaving away learning about the exciting world of Environmental Storage Tank and Confined Space

 

[DisneyKings]

OK thanks for all the advice about topstiching--DD1's only had a little purple, so I just used yellow all the way across then I changed color on DD3's. I wasn't sure if I should do that or if it would look like too much with all the backstitching...so I'm glad ya'll told me that was the way to go! Thanks!

My latest issue....my machine keeps pulling the top thread underneath & making a huge mess underneath! Do I need to adjust the tension, I've tried it both ways a little & it doesn't seem to be doing right. Any suggestions??? Thanks!

 

[DisneyKings]

So, I have the simply sweet shirt bodices done--I planned on just doing a double thickness ruffle on the bottom. When I tried it on DD1, it's way small! She wears an 18 mos & I made the size 1, figuring size 2 would be too big. I held up the pattern to her back & it looked like it would fit fine, but didn't take into acct her round little belly! It would have to be like a 3.5" ruffle & this will prob turn out to be a 1-time use shirt since it's tight. Do I need to just start over & do a size 2? Any suggestions? Here are pix:

(she wouldn't stand up for the pix)
