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

[Haganfam5]

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!!!

Hi Wendy! I am so behind here and I didn't know that you ordered swim stuff from the Children's place. I just hoped you ordered them a bit bigger. I don't know why this years swim suits run soooo small from there. I bought my girls matching pink polka dot ones in size 4 and 8 (should have fit fine, you have seen them and Julia is barely a 4t). Anyway, long story short, I ended up with a size 6 and a 12 after going back there and trying them on!!!! That is over 2 sizes bigger! I couldn't believe it and I made my girls come out and show the manager. I just wanted to let her know so she could tell others that may be buying them. Even she said that the size 4 top (that was cutting off Julia's circulation) looked like a 6-9 months top!

No biggie but proceed with caution . It was a good thing I had time to go back and fix it.


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

Oh, and LOVE the Tink top. If you were going to make the easy fit pants I would go with the size 8. My daughter has a 24 inch waist and they fit her good. The mother probably measured around her hips including her bum so 29 inches would probably be right. I would do the sparkly purple capris with the pink ruffle too. I love the top! You are so good at roundnecks!

HELP!!!!!!!!

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!!!!)

Linnette

I always second Cathy and fabrics galore! She is great and I get my fabric in 2 days! Such a sweet lady.

The Snow White dress is just Beautiful!!! I love The lace on the neck line. It looks like it was supposed to be there! Just too beautiful! You are so creative!

He is having surgery in the morning to repair a hernia. It's his 7th surgery in 3 years (most of them were related to his gastric bypass surgery.)

Thank you.

Prayers said.

OK, get ready for too many pictures in general. I will try to break it up into replys so you don't have to respond to it all.

First off, I made rainbow/tie-dye cupcakes today for Cooper's class. His birthday was Saturday.

pre-icing

I love these! Too cute! Reminds me of the cheesecakes at Pop Century...yum! I love all of the shirts too! Very cute!

 

[Adi12982]

Happy Birthday *Toadstool*!!! Your DH was such a sweet heart last night!

Tom, this is such a gorgeous picture!! And I agree - the piggy is an accessory

 

[pixeegrl]

Wow! there have been some amazing bowling shirts posted lately! and I just love the snow white outfits! I better get back to my sewing room or I'll never finish my Feliz! This thread is so addicting!

 

[minnie2]

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

Like others have said maybe if you post them we can come up with ideas on how to lengthen them.

He is having surgery in the morning to repair a hernia. It's his 7th surgery in 3 years (most of them were related to his gastric bypass surgery.)

Thank you.

Prayers said. George just had this 4 weeks ago today so I know what youa re going through!

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.

Love these shirt! Love the Mickey and Biscuit ones!Maybe one day i will be good enough to make one like this for Kyle!
Oh and the cupcakes look yummy! I am so jealous you can make things to bring to school! Our school says store bought only. UGH! I would love for Nikki to be able to bring cupcakes in. Since she has Celiac's I can't just go to the store and buy her cupcakes I have to make specail gluten free ones. So no cupcakes for her in school

Yep.... they are addictive. I made my second pair of pants today, this time I tried to add a cuff. I think they came out okay, a little plain, but they went together okay.

Today was DH's first full day in Iraq and the distraction helped. I think I will try the simply sweet next, and hopefully I can start making a few things for our Disney trip in August. I bought a few customs for her, but I would love to make some myself. plus I have the embroidery machine to start playing with.

Keep up the good work!

We had one of those car purchases where I wish I had listened to DH. My much loved Maxima died one Sunday and it just wasn't worth putting any more money into it. So DH and I go car shopping that next Tuesday. My mind-set was "a car is just to get from point A to point B" and went for inexpensive. We both HATED that car... we commute together and have a 30 - 45 minute drive both ways. After about 1.5 years DH took care of that car for us... totaled it in a Freeway accident (one car - no major injuries). Next car we researched and bought what we WANTED.

Next car is my choice! I really didn't mean to guilt DH into it... we were at a dinner party and I made a comment that I don't have a car... we have his truck (10+ years old, from before we married and the baby can't ride in it since it is a single cab) and the car we carpool in every day (he drives)... I don't think he had ever really thought of it like that But as long as we continue to carpool we really don't need a new car, so I just have to make sure when the time is right I remind him that it will be my choice!

We only have one car since G takes the train and honestly since we have been getting cars I ahve always gotten the new one so I am afraid next car is his choice and I will be stuck with mine for YEARS.

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!!!!!!!!

Not sure about the pants.... Sorry!

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

Linnette

LOVE the Snow White dress! Gorgeous! Like every one has said you are impossible to case because your stuff is so unique and simple you Of course feel free to make some ebooks and I am sure you will have lots of casing !

Too funny about the dance!

Hi guys! I thought I would just introduce myself seeming as I lurk so much around here!
Im Hannah, I live in Sydney, Australia and Im 13. I dont exactly have much skill when it comes to sewing but Im learning [;
I obviously dont have children to sew for so I just sew costumes for myself, lol.
Well.. tonight Im going to make a start on this Finding Nemo handbag I promised my self I would start 5 months ago... So Ill talk to you all later [;

Welcome!

Just wanted to tell everyone that today is my birthday, and hubby called me right at midnight from the boat(offshore) to tell me happy birthday! He won't be home for my birthday for another 7 years he said. I was so tickled. He can't call a lot, so it meant alot! He set the alarm to wake up and call me. Feels good to brag on my man! hehe!
Oh, and in case anyone wants to know. I am now 25.

That patchwork skirt is great! I love your fabric choices!


Cute stuff!


I posted on your blog. I am not great at blogging, but I am trying to learn. Thanks for the compliment on Hannah's Easter dress!
I think I am going to have to get some LPS fabric now!




No, I didn't ever give it a shot yet. Sorry.
Can you re-send me the picture? My harddrive crashed a few months ago, and I don't have the picture. I actually have some free time right now because I am not sewing anything until I get my serger... call it a protest I guess. PM me if you don't have my email address still. I'll try to remember to PM you if not. I'd love to give it a shot. I really do enjoy digitizing.

My multi-quote was huge, and I really should be doing housework. I'll finish it later!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

I will email you in a minute! G still hasn't installed my software. I guess you can't rush these things

Can you pm me your email address I can't find it! ...

Linnette, I would be more than happy to CASE anything you made! Please forward all pattern pieces to me, and I will case away!

Love all the new stuff posted recently!
As I was going through Leighanna's backpack for school today, I noticed that she had her Spring pictures in there. Why she didn't tell us that they were in, I don't know. Unless... it was because she snuck a toy to school that day, and preceded to have her picture taken with it!
Silly girl!

Look how pretty she is! I love that she brought the toy in! How cute was that?!?!?! Just be happy she brought a nice clean stuffed animal! I Kyle was to do tha I am sure he would have brought Yellowie in and well I ahve posted pictures with him holding Yellowie and he is so dirty and icky even after some cleaning....

Ok Going now to finally post my nieces dress and 2 hats I made!

 

[minnie2]

Finally something to share!
Here is a hat I made for Nikki. I also made one for her BFF's bday coming up.

This is the one for her BFF I ay teach myself to shirr today and add a small row of stitching to the back it seems HUGE! Nikki's is big but not crazy big. For her BFF I added a panel since like her mom said she has a big head. When she tried Nikki's on it fit but wasn't as full as I wanted it.

Now this is the dress I made for my niece which is similar to one I made for my girlfriends dd. I modified it for my niece kind of a live and learn situation and I like my nieces better.

My gf's daughter loved this dress so much which thrilled me but now she posted a picture on her FB page and my GF niece saw it and keeps saying how it is HER dress not my GF dds! So the little girl keeps bugging my gf for one just like it ad bugging her grandpa for one. So my gf asked me to make her niece one and even offered to pay me but I couldn't charge her! She does so much for me and asks nothing. Not that I don't do things for her but I know my GF has no money so I just couldn't charge my GF or her dad. Though I did say I would not make another patchwork for her because they are far too time consuming but I would make her a Tink dress with the same material if I could find it again. I did tell her it may have to wait because I just don't have the money to buy the materiel and I was honest about that and told her if I make her nieces right now that would take away from money I had to make her DD a dress for her bday gift and frankly to me it is more important to make something for her DD because I adore her dd and it is Nikki's bff too. She understood but I feel bad I am not making a pacthwork for her niece! She was fine with it but I still feel guilty! My GF is such a supporter of my sewing and such a confidence booster and she is the one whose friend wants to buy one of my dresses but again it is a patchwork! Now if some one was paying me to make a patch work that is different. But for fun I need to give them a brake for a bit. I feel like such a bad person for saying no to it!

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???????

Linnette, I think its very cute. isnt evertying you make ? Seams to be missing "something" - Mabye a nice red apple on the skirt somewhere...or mabye some eyelet lace or a white ruffle at the bottom.

You have me laughing about the stanky leg....my daughter taught it to me a couple weeks ago. How funny would it be if you had to go into school and do that...>SERIOUSLY ! ! ! I hope your agreement works out for you and the boys.

As always you are in my thought. -

 

[MinnieVanMom]

He is having surgery in the morning to repair a hernia. It's his 7th surgery in 3 years (most of them were related to his gastric bypass surgery.)
Thank you.

Prayers being said. That is a lot of surgeries and hope this is the last one.

That is just amazing and so cute. Where did you get the idea to put it in pieces and then complete on the back? I love it.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

:

I love this dress! It is so cute. What size is it? I swear Linnette you are amazing. Heck I would wear it if I could.

I want video of the dance. But really, I hope they realize how important it is to get good grades and placement into the best colleges. Now days you need every edge. Good luck.

BTW, I like the new picture of you but wish it were bigger so I can see you.

 

[Twins+2more]

Im going to try to make some tye die cupcakes for our end of the year girl scout party, they look so fun.

I love the mickey parts bowling shirt.

 

[kstgelais4]

I finished both outfits for Epcot and I went outside with the girls to take some pictures. Its blowing a hurricane out there!

i love them Cathy!! we will be there at the same time, and I have finished a measly 1 set of outfits (which I haven't even posted).

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.

Love them!!!!! did you by any chance use the cricut to cut the images did you? I recognize them from the mickey and friends cartridge.

I hope! haha I want to take it on our july cruise [;



hi My mum used to be a pretty avid sewer, so I have her old sewing machine (meaning I have some old 20 year old bomb). I dont really have kinds of fabrics that I like.. I just like cute interesting ones [;.


I consider myself a little "cool" by moms standards but my idea of interesting fabrics might not be the same as yourscan you be more specific, I have a little stash of fabric that I can mail to you to get you started with some projects just let me know


Just a question about the.. tiered/twirl skirt.. Do you have to use like.. elastic-y thread.. or can you just use normal cotton thread? Does it make a difference?
I really wanna make one but i only have this left over brown fabric from bambi... dang.

oh my gosh its really late! I cant believe Im sewing so late! (lol its only 9:27.. but ive been up since.. early.) Funny because I started writing this post about 9 hours ago and forgot!

------
I havnt yet started nemo handbag.
but im working on gathering [;

xx

I still have issues with the multi quote but THANK YOU for the compliments on the dress and for boosting my ego, again, what I do is kind of simple (compared to some of the wonderful creations you guys post ) ....so sometimes I am even embarrassed to post as I am always second guessing myself...I recently added outfits to my etsy store account and there I am praying no ones buys it kind of terrifies me, so figure that one out yes I know self esteem issues... in the back of my mind I could hear my mother "rip those seams!!! Do that again!!!

like I said before the princesses outfits are really simple and fast (less than 1 hr) I will post a photo tutorial soon , it is just that I am trying to finish with some sewing I committed myself too (feels like never ending) including the 2nd wedding dress that is just in pieces waiting to be put together (dreding the boning<<insert anxiety attack>> but I promised I will post the little tutorial soon

ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME AN EGO BOOST

PS: *Toadstool* happy birthday you are half my age!!!! I no longer celebrate mines ....O..H!!!! T..H..E..P..A..I..N

I cannot find a good image of Figment. Can someone point me in the right direction?

 

[phins_jazy]

Wow! You ladies were chatty over the weekend! Phew. That was a lot of reading to catch up on.

Love all the cute outfits posted!!

I didn't get a lot of sewing done. I made the anna knock off top that I got from Joanns. I made it reversible so it's a little bit different than the pattern. I still have to finish the pants for it though. My model has been sick this weekend. I ended up in urgent care with her yesterday morning. She had RSV when she was just a few weeks old and was in the hospital for about a week. Ever since then she's had breathing issues. She now has an upper respiratory infection. They took chest xrays to rule out pneumonia (sp?) which she doesn't have thankfully! So .... as soon as she's up to it, I'll get pics.

Now I'm off to google the rainbow cake. That looks wonderful!

LINNETTE! I LOVE the Snow White dress! DD11 would love it!

Linnette - It is awesome!! I only wish I can have your skills someday, I'd settle for a small percentage of your skills!



Well my feet happened because I was on my feet mostly from 7 am until about 1 am everyday for 5 days straight. Plus I was only sleeping about 5 hours a night, and with my pregnancy fatigue it was AWFUL. But they got back to normal so I know it was just that (oh and I wasn't drinking as much as I should). So I drank all the water i should and at night put a pillow under my feet and in a couple days, back to normal - they also weren't as swollen as your poor puppies are, but enough that they bothered and I could see it.

I have actually lost 3 lbs so far - I'll be 15 weeks on Thursday (and I do have a ticker, see below ). This is my first baby, first pregnancy. . . so I am worried, but doing everything I can to make sure things go as well as I can actually control. I am overweight so I am only supposed to gain 15-25lbs, and I plan on sticking to that (or at least hoping). I have added more walking and more nutritious foods. Well I actually lost 25 lbs before I got pg, probably helped the process along.

Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL!! It will be so fantastic when you are done!!

I downloaded the receiving blanket pattern a while ago - I need to check it out again. Thanks for reminding me!

Ok this crazy preggo lady is going to sleep (stayed up late because I napped late - from 5 to 6pm).

Don't worry about having lost 3 pounds. I was always like that, I would lose a little in the first 4 months, then start gaining. With Luke I had gestational diabetes and only gained 3 pounds the entire pregnancy and it was all good. I was watched very closely but cutting sugar out of your diet can really make the pounds drop!

Linnette, I would be more than happy to CASE anything you made! Please forward all pattern pieces to me, and I will case away!

Silly girl!

That's such a sweet story Tom, now this picture will be treasured even more! And the fact that she snuck her stuffed animal in just proves that she is still just your little baby girl and not growing up so fast after all.

MARLO I love Nikki's hat! That girl looks gorgeous in hats!

Rainbow cupcakes
Sorry I wasn’t clear before. I just used a white cake mix and made it according to direction (2 boxes actually). Banilla is the way that Coops says Vanilla. Anyway, divide the cake mix into bowls. Use food coloring (lots of it) to color the batter. Then just blob it into the cupcake liners. Bake according to the box directions.

My friend also did a rainbow cake that was AMAZING. She use the little bits of batter and made very thin 8 inch rounds (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red). She baked each layer separately. Then, she assembled them in rainbow order with white icing in between. It made a beautiful cake when it was cut. I will try to find a pic!
