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

[sahm1000]

My Grandmother passed away at 4:30am this morning. Last night before bed I made the decision that Im passed my "window" of being able to make the drive and I will be the only family member to miss her funeral. They have not set a date yet. I cleaned my kitchen in her memory this morning.

I'm so sorry about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking here ever since I found your thread a few weeks ago. I've been sewing off and on since elementary school, but never been too good at getting things to fit perfectly. You've inspired me to make some dresses for our trip at the end of the month. I made 2 so far with the tinkerbelle pre-shirred fabric and they turned out pretty well. I am currently making a pink minnie dot dress with an embroidered minnie head, out of McCalls M5838(modified a bit), but it turned out huge in the bodice and I had to add elastic to salvage it.

My daughter is six years old, about 49 inches, but still has a bit of a belly. Her measurements are:
Chest 27 3/4
Waist 26
Hips 28
But midway between the waist and hip you can measure 29 inches.

So anyway, I would love to try one of those awesome CarlaC patterns, but do any of them go up high enough in size? Most of them only seem to go up to an 8, but I don't see anything that list measurements for sizes.

Thanks in advance if you can help. Everyone's work is so wonderful!

Krista

Think this has already been answered but most of Carla's patterns are pretty true to size so I would think your daughter that wears a size 6 would have no problem fitting into them.

Eyore4Ever149- so sorry to hear about your grandma.

Fabricobsession.....I'm waiting for approval. DH is gonna kill me! LOL

I went out and bought myself a black dress for two different weddings this summer. I haven't worn a dress in about 9 years!!! I need to adjust it a little bit. I have to add a tie to the back. Just have to find some matching fabric and attach it to the side seams. Fairly simple but I'm a skeered to do it! I also have to hem Jazmins bridesmaid dress. That needs about 12-14 inches cut off the bottom. Why is it that I'm so scared to alter store bought outfits?

I agree, I am afraid to alter any of my store bought outfits and take them to the tailor and have them done (mostly just my jeans). I have no idea why I pay someone else to do it! But the tailor does make my jeans look like the hem that was on them before they were hemmed and I probably couldn't do that. But he charges $17!!!!


And on the topic of bridesmaid dresses.........why do they never fit? I have had two dresses that were around $150 to have altered due to crazy size they were when I got them. I didn't live near the bridal shops and they just took my measurements over the phone and when I got the dresses they were truly around 6-7 sizes too big. I actually had to have a picture of one of them sent to me so the seamstress could see what it was supposed to look like b/c it was so big we couldn't tell! She had to take the dress apart completely and put it back together again. It was crazy!

Well after a few minor alterations (I say minor because I did not do them) Raggedy Ann & Andy did their ballet this past weekend.

They were so graceful....

Oh wait, here you go.....

Darla was standing in the crowd watching the dance. Two Dads standing behind her said how cute the costumes were!
The girls just can't grow before June recital and we will be good.

 

[ibesue]

I can't wait to get my patterns from that buy! I'm waiting for some fabric to come in before I request shipping. What do you think of the pattern? Does it look easy?

It looks okay. Maybe I will work on this this weekend! Its different than the farbenmix patterns in that the directions on in a booklet and the pattern pieces are on a separate piece of paper! I am afraid of the pattern peices & booklet getting separated! I loose everything! The booklet is beautiful! So pretty and lots of sewing hints!

Hi everyone!
Sorry for the drive-by post, but I want to pimp out the Fabric Obession co-op. I know that quite a few of you are members already, but for those who aren't, they are doing a Michael Miller buy right now. Lots of Ta Dot (Minnie, Pink, Berry) and quite a few ironworks colors, some Sandi Henderson Farmers Market, they are also doing Alexander Henry right now too. Yes, this is a shamelessly self serving post because the ones I really want aren't full yet.

I signed up to the website but I don't understand how it works. Can you please explain it to me???

 

[Clutterbug]

Okay Fabric obsession is great! I just got my Kyoko pattern! Now if only they would do the Andalucia line, I would be buying!! I think they already did that one...

For those coming to Disneyland, let me know and I will get you directions to M&L fabrics! Its 7 miles from the front gate at disneyland to the store! Or I will come pick you up and take you there!! Any excuse to drive down there!

I lost the rest of my quotes, so I will spend the day trying to catch up. I don't get it. Sometimes I can use multiquote and come back to actually post and its all waiting for me and other times I loose it?

Wendy, that baby set is adorable!! I wish I had that pattern when miss Molly was born! I love all your rag quilts!

I'm pretty sure that there are some of the Andalucia patterns in one of the Michael Miller threads. I also just bought 2 of the prints from the Fat Quarter shop for ether 40 or 50% off. It's beautiful.

I am the same way! DS is chunky and most of his pants could be hemmed an inch or 2, but I get so nervous cutting off that original hem. Mine never looks as nice.

How CUTE! Love the expressions!

I signed up to the website but I don't understand how it works. Can you please explain it to me???

I was pretty confused at first too, but now I know enough to be dangerous! Go into the forums and each designer will have a sub forum for Open and Closed Buys. Within the Open buys there are threads with thumbnails and SKUs of the fabrics available. If you decide to join the buy just post the name and SKU and how many yards you want. When the buy closes Jacki will send you anvoice for the fabric you requested. After that fabric comes in you can request shipping at any point and she will send you another invoice for the cost to ship what you have. There is also a chance that the bolts will be short or your fabric may not be available but you will get a credit. I think that's it in a nutshell. Hopefully Kelly or one of the other ladies can correct me if I'm wrong or add anything I may have missed.

 

[HeatherSue]

Those look GREAT!!!

I love it, SO cute!

Did I mention I am HIGHLY emotional today (again) man, whats WITH this emotional junk? I stood up at MOPS today to speak about all the neat things i have experienced over this year with other women and kept crying. Oy vey.

It sounds like you need a

I need HELP! I finished the swirl stripwork skirt with the directions Leslie gave, and it is very cute. I was so excited to finish the outfit tonight, but I have a problem..... I was putting a simple mickey head on the tank top.... my practice one was fine, but now my embroidery machine is jacked up and I don't know what I did. It won't stay threaded, it stitches a few stitches and the thread just falls out of the needle. I thought maybe it was the shirt, but now that I just went to practice on fabric again it is still doing it. I have changed thread, changed bobbin, changed needles and it still keeps doing it, anyone know what my problem is?

I had no problems when I did the Boo applique last week, or ballet slippers this weekend, I thought a mickey head would be a breeze and now it has taken hours.

Yikes! I don't know how to help you besides what you already did. Did you try making sure the needle isn't in backwards? That's the only thing I can think of that you didn't try.

and fabrics I finally chose for the cupcake purse- I have the "top" cut out.

Awww...she looks so cute on her birthday! I love the cupcake jumper!

You are a very cute pregnant woman. You have a perfect round belly! Mine never looked that cute.

I can't wait to see this cupcake purse! Very pretty fabrics!

Now that my brain is ALMOST working tonight (we like to call it "Lupus Fog"),

You have lupus? I have the lupus anticoagulant which really has nothing to do with lupus. It means that my blood is sticky. It's also called antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS). But, it's an autoimmune disorder that has a lot of the same symptoms as lupus. Lots of people actually have both lupus and APS. That's probably more info than anyone wanted!

I have always used fluffy also and I just never realized how often until my 5 yo son told my mom that she was fluffy too so she is nice to lay on like a pillow, just like mommy!

Those both turned out great! I really love the minnie dot dress. It's so simple, and pretty, and perfect!

Hi Guys,

A month or so ago I posted this itty bitty dress and the baby rag quilt - well, this picture is of the REAL THING!! Baby Julia!!! I think she is about 7 weeks old!!

What a beautiful baby!!! I love her itty bitty dress and her rag quilt, too!!

The Big Give stuff is wonderful! I think your bow looks great!

Anybody willing and able to help?? I am attempting my first dress! I purchased Carlas stripework jumper pattern and I measured my daughter. I am confused after that. I have her from shoulders to the finished length at 20 inches. How to I figure out what comes next?

Desired Finished Length
-
Bodice Length
-
Ruffle Length
+
0. 5*
=
Strip/Block Length
That is what it says to do?? !! Please help. How do I know how big to do the bodice?

I'm hoping someone has already helped you on this, but I haven't made it to the end of the thread yet.

There's a chart where you take your daughter's chest measurement and it will tell you what size of bodice to make. Then, you just print out the pattern for the coordinating size. The pattern pieces are all at the end of the ebook.

Aww...she looks so pretty! The skirt looks perfect, too!

My Grandmother passed away at 4:30am this morning. Last night before bed I made the decision that Im passed my "window" of being able to make the drive and I will be the only family member to miss her funeral. They have not set a date yet. I cleaned my kitchen in her memory this morning.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I think you're making the right decision by not going to the funeral. I had Tessa at 37 weeks, 3 days, so you never know when you could go into labor.

With CarlaC's patterns, you usually go by the chest measurement for the size. I just checked a bunch of her patterns and your daughter would be a size 8. If you buy the patterns and then she grows and you need a bigger size, it's easy to just scale the size when you print them out. Here's the chart that Carla came up with for sizing the patterns up:
http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=27419308&postcount=1755
It's also in the bookmarks. I just search for "resizing patterns" when I want to find it.

Oh, how cute!! I love the costumes! They are such cuties!
Aaaahhh!! I spot a headless Pooh in the background!

I have to buy a dress or nice pant suit or something for the wedding that I am going to in June. I hate buying fancy clothes. Jeans and a nice shirt is all I need.

I finally finished Copper cabling today in school. I know that I did good, because I am the one who was able to get the Battle Star to work. I also ended up helping the 3 guys that were taking the test at the same time. Men!! I was also helping another girl finish Motors and Generators in between the copper cabling test sections. Everyone keeps saying how smart I am in that class and I didn't realize it until today.

 

[3goofyboys]

Okay, I finally have time to comment properly.

Okay- photos....
Birthday photos (from mid April)


and fabrics I finally chose for the cupcake purse- I have the "top" cut out.

You look great and as always your DD looks like a doll! I really like the cupcake fabric.

I wanted to post pics of the Minnie dot dress and ds's mickey bowling shirt. I couldn't post before our trip because I didn't finish them until the night before we left.

Adorable! I have that same mickey head fabric and I made my older son a pair of shorts and my younger son a pair of overalls with it for our September trip.

Adorable! And I love the bowling shirt! I must find something like that in toddler/infant

(now I know why all my friends with sons whined when I got my first girl 12 years ago...then another...then another. I love my little guys but it's hard to dress them!)

I'll repeat others and say Carla's bowling shirt pattern does come in infant/toddler sizes. I agree it is soooo hard to dress boys! Around here it's shorts and a polo every day.

Hi Guys,

A month or so ago I posted this itty bitty dress and the baby rag quilt - well, this picture is of the REAL THING!! Baby Julia!!! I think she is about 7 weeks old!!

My Make a Wish package is finished!! The Disney Dogs shirt for Joseph, and Disney Cats shirt for Abbigail - plus a pink bow and a pooh bow (Im not good at bows, do you think these re okay to send?)

this bow

to go with this story book twirl...

Everything looks great!

That looks really good on. I love the colors, so soft & girly!

My Grandmother passed away at 4:30am this morning. Last night before bed I made the decision that Im passed my "window" of being able to make the drive and I will be the only family member to miss her funeral. They have not set a date yet. I cleaned my kitchen in her memory this morning.

I'm so sorry. Prayers to you.

She had to take the dress apart completely and put it back together again. It was crazy!

I agree! My brother is getting married this summer and I am in the wedding. I let them order my dress 2 sizes bigger than what I normally wear because that's how the measurements came out. I'm now worried that I'm going to be swimming in the thing. Even worse, they wanted to order my sister who normally wears a size 0 (yeah, it make me sick too ) a size 10 because her chest is very large. She had them order a size 4, so we'll see.

Well after a few minor alterations (I say minor because I did not do them) Raggedy Ann & Andy did their ballet this past weekend.

What beautiful ballerinas! And I'm so happy that Darla was able to hear comments on her great work, that always feels good!

 

[SallyfromDE]

I told you poodle skirts.

What about a Pluto skirt?

Okay gals & gents I have a question.

I'm about to start making Peter Pan costumes from this pattern
http://www.butterick.com/item/B4632.htm (sorry, it's not letting me paste the actual picture). I read the directions and it's not wanting me to finish the bottom hem or the arm hems. The boys are probably going to wear these to the pet & doll parade, the renaissance faire, & Disney so I'm going to have to wash them at some point, most likely multiple times. What do you all suggest to keep the hems from looking terrible? Fray check, should I just hem them, other ideas?

Do you think fray check on the edges might work?

 

[KristaBelle]

Thanks for all the help. I bought Carla's Precious Dress Pattern.

I've never posted photos before so here goes:
Tinkerbelle out of the pre-shirred fabric

My McCall's Minnie Mouse Dress disaster. It was huge and I was determined to fix it somehow, I added elastic around the waist at the top back edge and string elastic in the neckline to pull it in a little. Maybe a sash or something would help? Any ideas? Maybe it's just not wearable...

Thanks!

Hi, a lurker with great admiration for the talent on here....getting ready to receive about three storage tubs of different beads...plastic, glass, seed, who knows what all. Know of a good use for something like these? I don't do beaded ornaments like my mother did, but I hate to just throw it out.
Ideas please....

[emcreative]

Does anyone here do Hot Fix/ Iron on Crystals and Rhinestones? I made up some designs and I want to try it, but there was VERY little at our craft store, and what was there was VERY cost prohibitive. Just thought maybe someone could point me in the right direction.

 

[*Toadstool*]

Yeah for Hubby being home! (we like the wolverine movies too)
What is Lush?
-big bones, DH hair loss, Sew Beautiful, etc etc- Im thinking we were sisters in a previous life.

Topstitching- I have found practice and a steady hand. The Janome dealer wanted to know how I was sewing with straight lines for top stitching, 5/8", 1/4" without his foot with the guide (which I really need to go back and buy now) and I just said I dont know- I was taught to use my eyes and keep a steady hand- mind you this only works for me on straight lines and corners- curves are hard and Im going through a learning curve with applique/satin stitch now. But now it's bugging me- when it's not perfect I think, hmmm, I should have bought that foot- then I'd KNOW it was a perfect measurement.
Nothing like being a happy ripper.

EDD- Estimated Due Date- mine is May 25


I have too much fabric I placed an order for on FabricObession.com- I forget who I have to blame for that! Maybe it's a pregnancy thing, but I have become a fabric collector- something that was totally against my pesonality previously.
Partly because WalMarts fabric dept is leaving and i dont know where I will be able to get Disney fabric for $4 a yard when they are gone, but then i started buying non-disney fabric- from all sorts of places- Joanns, quilt shops, online. I should put the Disney in my attic- that way my "stash" wont look so big!
My quilt shop is giving me her cardboard thingys for free, so I have been wrapping up and organizing bit by bit.

Haha.. Yes, I wish I had a sister that was into the same things as me. My sister is into things that I don't do and don't approve of.
I'm thinking I need one of these feet now. What is it called? I love feet.
My collection is growing now too. I am trying to slow down, but it is hard.
http://www.lushusa.com/shop
The forum there is quite addictive as well. THere is a link to it on that website.

considering I actually live in St Charles parish I think I can find Lafourche in a pinch

Oh.. I could probably see your house from mine on a clear day.

I love their stuff!!!! I love their moisturizers!

Oooh.. which one do you have? I have the dream cream and imperialis for my face. I am hoping to switch the facial one when I run out. They are running a promo right now that I just took advantage of. Spend 40 dollars and get a free 3 oz dream cream. I love that stuff.

YES, I do want to go to Marth Pullen Market. I was just thinking about that yesterday that I need to see if you were gonna go and if you had registered.

As far as the needles go - well, I hadn't anticipated needing needles so quickly. This was another lesson learned the hard way on my serger. I had forgotten that I had a gathering foot for my old serger. Let's just say they're not interchangeable! I went through several needles in just a matter of minutes. THEN I realized what I had done.

Oh goodness.. I get so scared when I hear the sound of breaking needles. I always worry where it could fly to. Some of those thing fly out with alot of force.
I do want to go to Market.. I need to see if hubby is home or not. He liked the idea of me going and he could stay in Tyler with my in laws and we could stay in Dallas. Does that sound good? I should log into facebook. Might be easier to talk about it there.

My Grandmother passed away at 4:30am this morning. Last night before bed I made the decision that Im passed my "window" of being able to make the drive and I will be the only family member to miss her funeral. They have not set a date yet. I cleaned my kitchen in her memory this morning.

Aww..
How sweet of you to spend a day in memory of her by doing the things that she did. Sounds like you must be alot like her. Is that where you got your sewing talents from?

I have Strawberry shortcake over on the Fabric swap thread!
And I LUSH. It's all I use.


That would be me Enjoy your fabric!

OOoh.. I need to go and check out the thread. I don't have much up for trade though.
I am still pretty new to Lush. I picked out my second bar of soap yesterday. I got Sultana. I hope I like it. I'm up for any product recommendations!

Okay gals & gents I have a question.

I'm about to start making Peter Pan costumes from this pattern

What do you all suggest to keep the hems from looking terrible? Fray check, should I just hem them, other ideas?

I would definitely hem it. That or make it out of something that doesn't fray.. like micro suede. Rolled hem would look great if you can do that.

EDD - could be Estimated Date of Delivery or Estimated Due Date. . . .I think they changed it because people felt its my due date I should go now, or shouldn't go before, and that is just an estimate. I think less than 1% of babies are born on their actual due date.

Hannah was born 2 days before her EDD..

I can't wait to get my patterns from that buy! I'm waiting for some fabric to come in before I request shipping. What do you think of the pattern? Does it look easy?

I got all of thoes patterns from another co-op. I loooove them. I have one in the works right now. Her directions seem pretty great so far. I want to make Kyoko, but can't decide what fabrics to use yet. I am making Frida right now and want to make Emma as well. THey are soo cute and different!

I have to buy a dress or nice pant suit or something for the wedding that I am going to in June. I hate buying fancy clothes. Jeans and a nice shirt is all I need.

I finally finished Copper cabling today in school. I know that I did good, because I am the one who was able to get the Battle Star to work. I also ended up helping the 3 guys that were taking the test at the same time. Men!! I was also helping another girl finish Motors and Generators in between the copper cabling test sections. Everyone keeps saying how smart I am in that class and I didn't realize it until today.

Whoa! What are you going to school for? That totally goes over my head.

What about a Pluto skirt?

Pluto skirt totally made me LOL!

My McCall's Minnie Mouse Dress disaster. It was huge and I was determined to fix it somehow, I added elastic around the waist at the top back edge and string elastic in the neckline to pull it in a little. Maybe a sash or something would help? Any ideas? Maybe it's just not wearable...



Thanks!

I like how you did your mock smock dresses. I think Minnie looks fine.

Just thought I'd peek in here!

I made some things (definitely prototypes!!) from the tutu/bow thread, but it got me in a crafty mood, so I'm considering getting my sewing machine down. It was on sale, so I bought it but never used it. I really can't do much more than a pillow laughing, but some of the projects I've seen on some sites seem really simple.

Anyway, just love looking at everyone's creations!!
