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

[billwendy]

Love the veggie tales party and doll house! So cute!



probably, but a bigger picture would help a lot! The biggest one looks like a buttonhole foot but seriously, a bigger picture!

So I wasn't loving the Garanimals tank tops having ruffles, I mean that kind of gets in the way of applique, KWIM? But then I sewed ribbon around the ruffles and I love it!

Love the added ribbon ruffle!! what a GREAT idea!!! Boy, that Lily is growing up and looking like her beautiful big sister!!! Did you make a tunic for Jayden?

You should try being one of 2 girls in a class full of guys like that. It took 2 semesters before one of these guys was able to ask me a question. At first they had this attitude like they knew more than me now they ask me for help. I too like Star Wars. I know what XBox, PS3 and Wii are and I can tell you the difference between each one and the pros and cons of each system. I find this funny because I watch DH play WOW (he finally got me hooked) while I add girly ruffles to pink dresses and help him come up with names for characters (If see him around Nutless Squirrel is a name I came up with). I prefer to be called Geek though. It implies technology.

LOL - my DH plays WOW too!! I havent gotten sucked in, but he plays it all the time!! I do like video games though!! Right now I've been playing Rythm Heaven on my DS....FUN!!!

Does anyone have an IPOD touch? What are your favorite downloads for that (applications)?

Do you think the tunic could be made out of a beach towel? I was thinking beach coverup???????

OK, I posted on the tutu thread, but I thought I'd post my latest project here, too. I'm going to add ribbons, I think. This is about the closest I've come to "sewing" lately.

Awww that is so cute!!!

ok... still sewing like crazy!!!!! here are some completed dresses and set I finshed today!!!

Lori

Again, you have been busy...all of them are so cute. I can't wait to see the Bolt outfit you make for your DS.

Wow the tunic pattern is awesome just added it to my wish list. I am thinking of doing it with the tutti fruitti fabric for a beach cover up. I love everyone's version of the tunic, but really Tom only one picture, you know we need to see more than that !!!!! But everyone's fabric choices are beautiful. Great job !!!

Okay I have too many ideas floating around in my head.....I'll pick up 1 fabric because it inspires me, but then can't find everything else I want for the rest of the outfit.

Here are some of the things I am looking for, if anyone has any idea where I might find them I would be very very greatful.

1. I found lots of black and white fabric I adored and want to make DD a dress for the Hollywood Brown Derby....has anyone ever seen Hollywood themed machine applique anywhere? (maybe a film strip or the little take 1 take 2 thingy-ma-bob, or even a camera). I was thinking of doing a star with either mickey's hand print in it, or just Hollywood across, but I would love something else to go with it.

I want the Rythm Heaven game for my DS too. Do you have the DSi yet? DH won't let me get one because I just got my DS Lite last year at this time.

I do!! I do!! Did I tell you we were geeks? I like the popping games. I also LOVE Beautiful Katamari. There are a ton of free games that are pretty cool. I have one where you scramble the letters in a box by shaking the iPod and then make words out of the letters. I have to recharge it and then I can tell you some of the other games I have.

2. I found this black and pink fabric with hearts and love written on it, and on stitch on time they have a siloutet (sp) of mickey and minnie kissing. I have seen finished dresses (there is a recent one on YCMT in the I made it section) with a pink fabric with the same siloutet (sp) of mickey and minnie kissing. Is this a very old print? anyone seen it recently? anyone know what it's name is so I can watch ebay?

3. This one is probably the easiest, but I haven't much luck online and I haven't had a ton of times while in Joann's to look through the books. Anyone know a good pattern for making the small rounded apron? I found some fabric with red, black, and white aprons and I have some minnie dot, I think I want to try a dress for Chef mickey's with it, but would love to make a little apron to wear on top.

Thanks for your help!!! I know the first 2 may be a long shot.

LOL!! Great Minds...I have that same fabric and I want to make a set with an apron too!! I LOVE that fabric!!! If I get to it before you, I will take pictures and write up a tutorial on how I make the apron. I'm hoping to get to it this weekend. Here's the one apron I made.

Sorry to jump into the conversation...

...but just to prove my geekiness, Hubby got me a DSi for our anniversary. I love it!

Our current hooked up and available to play systems are xbox360, ps2, gamecube, wii, ds, dsi, and psp. We both have WoW accounts (though I never have time to play anymore with 2 little ones). Our online gaming history includes SWG, LOTRO, AoC, WAR, DDO, TF, TF2, BF series...okay there's more but that's bad enough to admit!

 

[eeyore3847]

Lori - The rest of us sew one or two things a week ( or a month), but I think you are sewing one or two an hour!!!!

I know...... I have a motivation right now.. I move in 10 days... need to sew as much as possible and list now.. because I am afraid I will be unable to sew for a few weeks after the move! I hope not... but just in case.....

Again, you have been busy...all of them are so cute. I can't wait to see the Bolt outfit you make for your DS.

Oh I am working on it...... will start tommorrow I think... red shirt and cut off jeans I am thinking!

Ha Ha!! I am the one who had iPod envy in our house. DH got one and then I wanted one and guess what even Jenna has one, just not a touch. Jenna has the Nano. Games and apps that I have ShakeSpell, I Say Free, PBJTime, Hangman, Spanish LE, Word Warp, Topple, Katamari, Babelgum (kinda like YouTube), KatamariLite (did I mention that I love the Katamari), Tap of War, PM.Free (a piano game), Hidden Items, Pop Pop Pop, My Paint Free, Butterflies, GhostPop and tons of music. I have about 400 songs.

I am so jealous. DH gives me stuff like that for occasions. We have ready for gaming Wii, PS2, PS3, Xbox360Elite, DS, DS Lite, PSP, and GameCube. DH and I are currently both playing WOW, but he used to play Everquest, EVE and Star Wars and he was Beta tester for LOTRO. I think you and I would have a lot of fun talking technology.

Don't know where the quote went - but someone asked about making the Sophie Tunic out of terry cloth. I have to say that I don't particularly recommend it. I made this version in testing, and, let's just say that I'm not real fond of it.

The fabric kept stretching for some reason. It came out kinda wonky. But I did learn that I don't like working with terry cloth in these types of applications. I may like it more for smaller projects or something. but it didn't work well for this.

Last question and then I think we'll make the others crazy so we should go to PM...what server are y'all on?

Ok, I'm posting to take one last look at my ticker in my siggy. I'm sorry to report that we have cancelled our July trip. Several things have come up, and we've decided it's just not something that we should do right now. So, the reservations are cancelled. But on a brigher note, we HAVE decided that we want to plan a trip to California (including Disneyland). We're trying to figure out a good time for our family to make that trip. It probably won't be until 2010. Looking forward to that!

I like it! Do you not like it because of the way the fabric handled or was there another reason? Does it hang funny when it is on?

It hangs funny. It's kinda warped - I don't know how else to explain it? It's like parts of it are all stretched out. And not all parts are stretched evenly. It's really weird. Will it work for a cover up? Yes. Will I make another with this same fabric? Probably not. This was terry cloth off of a bolt from Hancock's. I don't know if a towel would sew differently or not.

 

[billwendy]

This is so funny...

We currently have (not all are hooked up right now) - atari, Nintendo Original, PS2, N64, Wii, gameboy, and DS. I did have a sega and a Nomad to go with it, but i sold it on EBAY and it went for a mint!!!

THat is a bummer about the terrycloth not working - I had made easy fit pants from a towel, and thought this tunic might be a good top - we keep going to the beach into Sept and it gets chily for the kids towards the end of the day. The tunic kind of reminds me of those shirts that were popular maybe from mexico made out of that rough material and they had a hood???

How to plan a trip to Disney (according to my 9 year old):

Supplies:
Lots of $
plane tickets
kids
something to celebrate

Step 1: Choose how long you are staying. I would say about 9 days. If this is your first time, you may want to stay a week.

Step 2: Choose your resort. My favorite is Pop Century.

Step 3: Buy your Key to the World card. This is you r room key, but it also lets you into the park. We suggest adding the Water Parks and More, too.

Step 4: Pack. Make sure you have enough clothes and money.

Step 5: Wait. We know its hard.

Step 6: Have fun in Disney World!

Step 7: Start planning your next trip.

The only thing that was missed was be at the parks early!

Wow Heather! Oprah!?! We're not worthy of your presence.

I have the same problem with shirring and a drop in bobbin. The elastic thread either doesn't feed up, or the bobbing unwinds in the carriage.
I have and older machine with the bobbin in the lower casing that you put in. It works great with that machine.

Here is Leighanna in her Sophie tunic:

I made it a size bigger thinking she would wear it over a bathing suit. I am going to go down a size or two. It is very gerously sized. It is a very easy pattern, and works up fast once you get the pattern printed and cut out!

Beautiful!

I was thinking the VERY SAME thing....weren't they called "ponchos"???

I wonder if a beach towel would work. Like one of those good ones. Wal-Mart has some cute ones for $5, but I don't know how good those would be. You're right it does look like the Mexican Tunics. It also reminded me of the ones like the men wear in Africa. I love those too.
