Disboutiquers Part 13 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[princessmom29]

I got my first machine applique done!

I've been lurking for a few weeks and have been inspired to make mickey head t-shirts for all of us, a pirate shorts set for my DD5 months and a pirate sundress for DD7! Thanks! I have an embroidery machine that will do machine appliques. My question is, where do you purchase Disney applique patterns? I looked at SWAK, and they have princess things but they're not Disney princesses.

I got this from stitchontime.com

I love that Cinderella applique! I am learning myself too! I love your fabric too! So cute!
Thanks! Igot the fabric at hancock last year and did a hand applique that was NOT good. I saved the fabric to try when I got a amchine. Hanckc and joann are both still carrying it.



Guess what???
I forgot to mention that I finally broke down and bought the Feliz and Vida (and 5 yards of Good Folks by Anna Marie Horner) on Friday! I have been on the fence about it for many months now. I have hesitated because I only buy Carla's patterns...I stopped using commercial patterns all together. So I am sure I will need some help but I figure you all know what you are doing!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Ok I seriously need some help. I'd like to have some shirts made up for my family for our halloween trip this year. I was thinking to have matching t-shirts for the four of us for MNSSHP and then maybe a set of shirts for MK and then for AK.

Can someone please explain to me how this is done?? This will be our 3rd trip and I'm only now discovering this. The boys' names are Brandon and Jacob. The shirts for me and DH can just say "mom" an "dad". The boys are really into Toy Story, Incredibles, Cars, Wall-e, POTC, and their favorite characters are Mickey, Donald, and Goofy.

Please let me know if I posted on the wrong board...TIA!!

At the very end of the forums is the Disign forum. Many talented and wonderful people do designs if you just ask. They will be iron on transfers.

For applique you would have to ask here for someone to PM you as it is against rules here for us to advertise for sale.

g'morning ladies (Okay it's afternoon here, but who's counting?)

How is everyone! I love the new stuff everyone posted!

Anyone have any design project requests? Fabric they need to find? I'm kinda bored today! (As a mom of 5 that's RARE!)

I know it has been two weeks but the car came home and went straight to the body shop. Then we got it out and went across state to an autism conference. Then it has rained everyday this week. So in 3 days this is the second washing. The name broke when they took it off to paint so it was replaced with a Mickey Head!

It is a Chrysler Pacifica.

There she is my F-150 POS in the background.

Dashboard. It has a navigation system.

It says it seats 7 but I think 6. I like the far back seats down so I can put stuff in it.

Drivers door, look at all the buttons for my seat!

Congrats on the new to you car! We got a 2005 Pacifica last fall. I love it! It's nice to be able to pull the seats up and down in the back for extra kids or extra storage. It can't fit all of us, but that's what we have the mini van for!

Again, congrats, your car looks so cute (especially love the Mickey!!)

I really like the minnie shirt and decopage jeans. Im so afraid to decopage the jeans, but I do want to try it sometime.

Its so cute! My car seats 7 too, but I keep the last row down. There is nothing like having a new car when you are used to old POS! My old car was an 86 Astro Van, we replaced it in 06 with a Pathfinder!

Decopaging jeans is like the easiest thing to do. Just open the seams, cut some fabric shapes, sew around them and then close up the seam! We can help you, you CAN do it!!

Hey, is anyone looking for some Ratatoille fabric? I found some cool stuff (nope I'm not selling it or making money off the sale, I just thought it was a cool find to pass along).

 

[pixeegrl]

They are Studio Tantrum and I got mine from Banberry Place, I felt I got the best price there with shipping and I received it rather quickly! I traced mine out onto a shower curtain liner because I knew I would use it repeatedly! Also, Trillium has the best sew along. It helped immensely if I got stuck while sewing. here's a link http://trilliumdesign.blogspot.com/2008/11/feliz-sew-along.html

This dress is gorgeous! It puts Matilda Jane to shame! Where did you get the pattern, I really really really want to make one for my two god daughters, and my own dd when she is older. Please Please Please!

Has anyone done the Emily Puzzle Me pattern? That looks like it would be PERFECT for a Minnie outfit!

Ohhhh, so shiny & new, very nice!


Hey, we have an F-150 POS too, what year is yours?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

My POS Is a 1990! Yes, she is old! But for a farm truck ya can't go wrong. She can haul 2 tons of hay while pulling a trailer. She has a 4 core radiator, tranny after cooler and overloads. She has started everytime and never lets me down. However, she only can hold 3 and doesn't go further than 50 miles from home and never over 50 mph.

She has been kicked by horses, had logs dropped on her, crashed into a tree once and yet she still keeps going.

But I needed a new vehicle for DS to travel in safely and one that was road durable. My new to me Pacifica fit all the requirements, AWD, DVD and roof racks. All the rest is just icing on the cake...um car. Also, it was in my budget. I wanted a Volvo XC, BMW 5 or Audi wagon but this was half the cost and I had the money saved.

Now I am broke again but work starts in 3 weeks.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Now I am making a cover for the back of the drivers seat. It is in front of where DS sits and he likes to kick so I am making a cover that is also a holder for the remote, drinks, DVD's. It is out of the fish fabric. Will post pictures when I get it finished.

I am not sure if I quoted this right but.............

"What pattern are you using? I really like CarlaC's patterns on YCMT because you go by the chest measurement and then you can lengthen it if you have a tall skinny kid (I do, so I know where you're coming from). "


I loved her easy pants ones, that is what I made my son's shorts out of. But I thought I would try a McCalls for my daughters outfit and just did not get it altered right. I REALLY did like Carla C's directions though and am so glad I decided to heed the collective advice of this board and try one of hers!! I think that is what I am going to end up doing with at least a couple of ones for my daughters. I really hope she keeps putting out more patterns!!! Hint Hint..

That is the same farbric I bought to make my DD a dress for her birthday party. I haven't decided what I am going to do with it yet though (her bd is 6/27)

I made Evelyn a birthday dress that had some cupcakes on it. Plus I appliqued a cupcake with three candles. In case you didn't guess, its Carla's stripwork jumper pattern.

Oh I really like that jumper. I am going to make the twins cupcake outfits for their 4th bday this month. Good job.

 

[waltfans5]

That is too cute! I love the cupcakes and I love colorful fabric. I have got to get that pattern. I haven't gotten a CarlaC pattern yet, but I think I'm going to have to after reading how much you guys love her patterns.

Hello everyone! I've just perused your thread and wow you ladies have some talent. Amazing clothes. Beautiful job on the easter dresses and sleeping beauty dress.

I don't really sew. My mom bought me sewing machine 3 years ago. I broke that bad boy out last summer and made a couple of things for my daughter. A soaker, a bunch of wipes and a skirt that never fit I'm inspired to give it a go again.

I've been knitting for a little under a year and am really into that. I signed up for the Big Give, maybe I can knit something for that because my sewing is something I couldn't give away.

Well I'm going to go back to looking at the amazing clothes you all posted.

oh wow more cute outfits! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the mickey swing dress and the pirate outfit. I'm off to check out ebay and etsy for a dress for DD for June. I so wish I could sew.

I just finished a Tinkerbell dress for Disney on Ice! Once my model gets home I will post pics! I hope it looks better on than it does right now!
