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

[karamat]

And my 2 cents on Embroidery Machines... go with 5 x 7 hoop if you can afford it. I have a couple of 4 x 4 designs that when I go to stitch out actually require the 5 x 7 hoop. Its probably user error (I need to spend more time with my machine), but its nice to have both to use. After the 5 x 7 my machine uses a Mega Hoop, but I haven't used my machine enough to justify the $100 hoop!!

Oh boy!! How can that happen!!! Im sure you will come up with a very creative way to lengthen them!!!

Also, thanks for your help with the swimsuit choices - the ones from the Children's place should arrive tomorrow!! I got one for Elizabeth and one for Hannah - I also got Elizabeth a princess one from the disney store, and hannah the pink minnie mouse polka dot one!!! I even got her the light up flip flops to match!!! I cannot wait for them to try them on!!!

Glad it all worked out-I thought of you today at the Disney Store- I was still looking for your rash guard shirt LOL

I am also sending you a PM

I just lost all my multi quotes, I was going for the records for the longest multi quotes post.... and lost each and every one!!!!

prayers for all in need , and Beth I still continue to pray!!


I love all the outfits posted , I specially love twob4him outfits ,your little girls just melt my heart Sorry if this is too personal but I love that your princess name is Brooklyn , any special reason? Sorry if I am nosey, but I think is such a COOL name!!!!!

lovesdumbo: Carol (from fabricsgalore) is just a sweet, sweet person and I always get refunded for any extra shipping ( something with the calculator?) right away and the packages do not take more and 2 days , I like that if you are looking for some specific fabric you can email her and she does her best to find it for you!!!! PS: I do not get compensated to endorse her I just love to share with you all when you find a place that is always reliable..and great fabric selection too!!!!!

I am working on some outfits for 4 little princesses and this is a "snow white" theme sundress that I made today... I am a little in the fence because when I asked my husband what he thought ...his reply was "Looks like a dress" ...well duhhhhhhh, he is no help at all!!!!!
do you guys think it says snow white? I just wanted something simple, not to "costume" looking, in other words practical ...my insecurities (if you guys only knew how I drive Crystal insane!!!!)

I was a little lazy and decided to just cut the top piece without doing a paper pattern (big mistake!!!)after I sew the lining I thought the front looked a little too low so I decided to add the eyelet to give a little more coverage but now i do not know?!?!...I would hate to redo the top part again but please honest opinions needed should I leave it as is???????

vent!!!
My kids used to be my pride and joy, they were always honor roll students ...NOT anymore as they do not do their homework and their score dropped because of that , I am tired as I am constantly telling them : DO YOUR HOMEWORK! so today I spent the morning learning the STANKY LEGG dance, I told them if Monday (I have to see the teachers) I get a complain about homework, I will go to the front of the school and perform for the entire school the dance(they know I will do it!!!) while wearing a t shirt that says : I am Joseph (class ---) an Jonathan's (class----) mom... after few tears we have an agreement,we will see!!!!! The stuff you have to do as a parent sometimes!!!!


sorry about my vent but the only thing I ask of my boys is that they excel in school nothing else, and lately is a constant battle

My models were more than uncooperative. They were terribly fussy and had attitude to spare! So the pics are over their clothes, without buttons, and with a side of sass.

First up, Cooper is have a doggie birthday party on Saturday. I will post more about it later. I am soooooo excited. I have so many fun things planned for the kids. I wish I was 4 and could enjoy all the fun stuff! So Cooper loves dogs, esp. biscuit his "dog" (that uses batteries) he got for christmas. He loves the biscuit books too. So here is his shirt.

I had regular brown buttons picked out, but Cooper spotted these "biscuit" buttons:

I have some shorts cut that I could whip up if I get the time. They are brown. I have a little bone (with the word biscuit embroidered on it) that I will applique- again, if I have the time. This week is going to be another doozy! I have Disney on Ice on Wednesday, then have to drop the kids off at their dad's that night. I have to drive 2 hrs so that i can go to this boot camp type place for team building. I am excited about the team building aspect, but not the outdoors stuff and it couldn't come at a worse time! On Friday, my parents will pick the kids up from school and be waiting at my house when I get home from boot camp (7or 8PM). The next day is Cooper's party- 36ish kids + parents and we are serving dinner!!! I am crazy.

more coming in next post.

Last post- the disney on ice outfits that will be reused for our trip in September. Two outfits down, 40 more to go!!! I am going to try 2 or 3 outfits per day for 8 days for 2 kids- gotta get busy!!! I don't know if these will still fit then. They seem like they might be too short by then. UGH. I have yellow buttons that I will add hopefully tomorrow.

Very cute!! Hope that party goes well - I think I would lose it with that many kids in my house at once...and I have a nice big yard to herd them into!

I think the dress looks great as is.

I had to laugh when I read your threat. Hopefully it will do the trick and they will buckle down and start doing their homework. I sure don't miss those days.

 

[100AcrePrincess]

Wait...am I actually caught up??? I don't believe it. I feel like I haven't been gone that long, but my goodness ya'll got all chatty on me!

There has been some GREAT stuff posted lately. I know I'll miss about 400 things so I'm not going to even begin to comment of everyone's things, just assume I thought it was great too, k?

I've praying for everyone that needs it too. I know how much it can help just to know that people are thinking & praying for you.

Oh, and Linnette, it looks GREAT! I love it & it says Snow White to me, but if you weren't in the parks (or Disney obsessed ) it's just a really cute sundress.

I LOVE this shirt....I was trying to think of a tinkerbell for WDW...do you care if I case it?


Linette, What is the Stanky Leg dance...I going to have to youtube it.<-----------So I youtubed the Stanky Legg dance....And I think if my mom threatened to come to school and do that...I would have my homework done through graduation by the next week......

 

[sahm1000]

Here it is on black.

Thanks Jessica! I actually think the shirts that I bought are the same ones that Jeanne used in her trip report. Maybe I'll keep one for my nephew and do a Mickey Head for him on it (you can never have enough Mickey's right?). The black that I bought isn't tonal at all, it's just solid so I don't know if it will work. I'll figure it out. Just annoyed with myself for being stupid!

Okay, so I haven't been able to keep up or catch up, because I have been working on my shop! Here is my latest set. I really love how this came out and wished we had a trip planned so she could wear it!

And because this is just a cute pic

Love this! It's really adorable! Great job on all of the applique!

I finished up a few things for my trip this weekend.

First I want to thank Linnette for posting the link to fabricsgalore.com I got the safari, palm tree, and zebra fabric from there. I thought the shipping was a bit high when I placed the order but the prices were VERY reasonable so overall it was still a good deal. Then the packing list had a hand written note that the shipping was too high so she credited me about 1/2 of it.

My friend Terry (we've been friends since 3rd grade-almost 40 years ) lives in Jacksonville and she comes down to WDW when we visit. She and her DD Halley (9) will stay with us in our AKL CL room Saturday night. We are all doing the Sunrise Safari on Sunday. I am so excited to do this! And stay at AKL-this is new for us!

I made this shirt a couple of weeks ago for DS Joe-I still haven't had a chance to go to JoAnns to see if I can find any buttons I like better than what I already have.

I made this for me to match:

I made this for Halley. I wasn't in love with it when I first finished it but now that the buttons are on I like it more.

I made this to match for Terry:

I made Joe this shirt for either our dinner at Narcoossee's or California Grill. I love this fabric! I bought more so I could make myself a blouse with it if I like the fit of the first one I make with a pattern I'm going to try. Carla needs to make adult patterns!!!!!!!

I made Joe & I t's to wear on the plane for check in at AKL.

So I only have 1 more weekend left before my trip. I'd like to make myself 2 blouses and I'd like to make my 2 DD's Lizzy & Emma shirts with this really cool circus fabric I bought at fabricsgalore for $2.99/yard. We are going to the circus on a mother/daughter girl scout event the night before my trip. PLUS I bought a new laptop computer so I want to install some software, I need to make sure all my photos are uploaded and backed up so I can reformat my memory cards and I need to PACK! OH and work is crazy busy!!! I think I'll be ready for a vacation! OH...and I need a hair cut.....

Everything you've made is adorable! Love it all but I especially love the pink flamingos! Really cute. And I love the zebra Mickey heads for you and your DH. Very cute! Have a great trip and don't stress yourself out before hand!

My models were more than uncooperative. They were terribly fussy and had attitude to spare! So the pics are over their clothes, without buttons, and with a side of sass.

this pic pretty much sums it all up.

Love your cupcakes! The tie dye is very cool! The biscuit shirt is adorable too. But my favorites are the Mickey parts bowling shirts! They are really fantastic! The Mickey on Cooper's is the one I'm trying to do if I ever find the right t-shirt to do it on. They are really great!

I LOVE these! The color combos are great!! I want to start sewing for our December trip. I know if I wait until closer to the trip life will get in the way and I'll never get everything completed But I have no idea what size to plan for... DD is 16 months, and has always been in the 95%+ range for height. She's moving into more and more 24 month clothes and the last CarlaC Aline I made for her was size 2 (fits pretty well.)

My girls are tall too and are always around that range. So if she is 16 months now and it looks like you leave in around 7 1/2 months now she will be right at 2 but she is already wearing two's now.....hmm. I would probably make size three's but not hem anything (or attach a ruffle to the bottom) and leave that until it's closer to the time. That way the majority of the construction of the garment is done and all you have to do is finish off the bottoms by either hemming (and you can always hem more but it's harder to add fabric) or adding a ruffle.

Oh boy!! How can that happen!!! Im sure you will come up with a very creative way to lengthen them!!!

Also, thanks for your help with the swimsuit choices - the ones from the Children's place should arrive tomorrow!! I got one for Elizabeth and one for Hannah - I also got Elizabeth a princess one from the disney store, and hannah the pink minnie mouse polka dot one!!! I even got her the light up flip flops to match!!! I cannot wait for them to try them on!!!




Oh my - I LOVE TIE DYE!!!!!!! This is so cool - reminds me of the POP century's tie dye cheesecake!!!! YUMMY!!!!!

Hey, is anyone sewing for Aubree - a 4 year old for one of the big gives? I made her this tink round neck and would like to make shorts to match - her measurement around the hips I think says its 29" - do I really make a size 10 in the easyfit pants? or should I just buy a pair of size 7 (like her mom says she is) shorts to match? I made a 6/7 in the round neck....

HELP!!!!!!!!

I would make the easy fits and just use the waist measurements given. Since it's elastic there will be some give and if they are too big they can always be pinned to hold them up.

specially if it looks like (my version)a cross between a heart attack and a leg cramp

 

[t-beri]

ok que the violin music.........


My dear sweet DD tried on all the adorable summer Disney clothes I made her last year....... and they don't fit!!!!!!!!!

I am sooo bummed, doesn't she realize you simply cannot locate some of this fabric anymore-I can't lengthen these things!!!!!

I guess I can always call the dresses tops and add shorts right? LOL

That's what I do. Little wore her AK twirl FOR EVER!!!!!

You are so funny....that is exactly what it looks like!

:

Oh my Gosh - I'd be thrilled!!!!!! CASE IT!!! Hey, speaking of CASE, do you want me to send you the other side of the pillowcase? I only used one side for the front of the shirt....what would you do for the bottoms? I was thinking the purple sparkly star fabric for some shorts or capris with a pink ruffle on them to tie it all together??? Please PM me if you'd like the pillowcase face!!!!

I tried to CASE you, but I'm not that good. And you do not drive me crazy. If you drove me crazy than after 4 hours on the phone with you and the call drops I would not call you back to finish the 7 hour phone call and then call you again the next day and talk for 4 hours. I am seriously gonna have to make you one of my 5 faves.

That's what I've been thinking... I can always take in a seam if its too big when we're ready to leave.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I am really excited about being a part of this great group of friends.

I just love the rainbow cupcakes. What an amazing idea! I love it! Were they hard to do?

I hope to be able to post pics of some of the outfits I have been working on for dd, Kristin, who is 3 and loves everything that is "Mommy made".
