Disboutiquers Part 15 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[dreamer03]

I just wanted to say what beautiful work you all do. I want so badly to sew. I have a machine, I can sew straight lines, and that is about it. I wish I could do the wonderful creations that you do. Thank you so much for sharing all your hard work.

Many thanks! And great job on your Cindy gown. I'm always surprised at just how low cut they make some of thos patterns. I raise most of them a bit, but I don't think I did on this one.

Do you agree it's one of the more demanding patterns out there??? I also included the horsehair braid around the bottom of the skirt. I think when I was done I had over $80 in supplies in that one....

Your daughter looks adorable in this!!! I love the way you put the bow on the back of the second one.

I made the same dress for AKsunshine's daughter. She has some pictures of her daughter in it in her TR.

I did change the top though, because I didn't like how low it was. I just made the neckline a bit higher. I plan on making Lydia one one of these days!

Here is Lydia modeling the one I made for Isabelle. She wouldn't put a petti on under it, and I didn't feel like arguing with her about it!

I was thinking about purchasing the pillowcase type dress pattern today. Which one have you made. I love how professional they look.

The Carson shirt and Kyla dress. Other pattern makers that I love are Sewsensible and Nanoo designs. I think I am more partial to the latter two because they are from Louisiana like me.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun making that one! I found the sleeves to be the most time consuming thing. I would like to try the Sleeping Beauty pattern too, do you think that one is harder than this? I didn't find this too hard, but I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner for sure! I put the horsehair in the bottom of the skirt too. I had never used that before. It took me forever to find it by the yard at Joann's! You can't really see it, but I put bling on it too. It didn't photograph well though.

Thank you so much! Sorry I missed your post, I just assumed people were missing mine! LOL! That's what I thought.

It's ok, I just wanted you to know you weren't forgotten LOL.

That is a great idea. Especially trying to center the design. That is one of those things that makes a light bulb go on and you just kind of have to hit your forhead and say " Why have I not been doing it that way"

Thanks

Trust me, if there is some way to avoid user error (cause I make a lot of user errors) I'll find it.

Send me some prayers and pixie dust....I just cut out the pattern pieces for Michael's Prince Charming Costume for Akershus.....this should be VERY interesting!

You're gonna be fine! Can't wait to see it!

I am doing a mini give for a fellow disser. Here are the outfits I made the little one in her

and it reverses to:

I'm waiting for some chiffon to come in so I can make a petti--then it is off in the mail!

These are wonderful!!!!!!!!!! You're so sweet to do this!

I'm loving the sew along. This might push me over the edge into buying the pattern...if I can figure out where to buy it. I'm almost positive someone listed a source once, but now I can't find it.

quite a few of us have ordered from banberry place.com, but you can do a google search or look on Etsy as well.

You can do this!!!! I promise!!!!! I had only done straight curtains until 5 months ago, and now I am totally addicted to custom sewing for my kiddos and friends.

Thanks Teresa! Here is Isabelle in the Cindy dress. She has talked about wearing it this year. We didn't get any Princess meals, we'll see!

Hey guys, I am really hoping someone might be able to help me out here. I need suggestions on a possible Halloween pattern. My little one has decided that she wants to be a "vampira" for Halloween this year. I think it is due to the fact that her little brother is going to be a vampire. I bought his costume last year from Gymboree for like $10. She loves the cape and has been wearing it around. Hahaha.

Anyway....to the important part of this post. I REALLY, REALLY want to make a similar type "gothic vampira" dress as the one in the Chasing Fireflies catalog. http://www.chasing-fireflies.com/gothic-vampira/productinfo/26075/ (Please let me know if I am not allowed to post that link and I will remove it, thanks). Anyway, I am OBSESSED (kinda like Mom2RTK is obsessed about finding those boots...LOL) with this costume but want to make it with a bright red to match my son's vampire costume. Do any of you know what pattern I might be able to use to come somewhere close?? There is NO way I can wing this or create my own pattern...and if it is a commercial pattern, I probably can't do that either.....LOL.....but any suggestions???

Thanks in advance!!!!

Well, I wanted to let you all know that I am trying hard to work on outfits for the boys for our trip to the World. I have several of them planned and the fabric for some. I hope to get them going this weekend. I did however complete a Scooby Doo applique for my son the week. He loves it, and it was a hit at preschool. Thanks Dena! Your appliques are awesome! I will try and get a picture of my fellow in it soon to post.

Emily wants to be a vampire too! (I think it has something to do with wearing the plastic teeth!) I think I'm going to go with a peasant top and a corset then a skirt where it gathers up one side so it shows the under skirt - make sense? She also wants a cape.

 

[2cutekidz]

Bling Converse.

This is my first attempt at these. They are far from perfect, but not bad for a first try. I forgot how thick the glue was and it got too thick in spots and there are too many gaps. I think I'm going to use smaller rhinestones next time. Emily has requested these in multiple colors! I made these to go with a Nightmare before Christmas set I'm working on, I'm going to add ribbons as the laces.

Ohhh I love all your creations...maybe you should just make a test version in Taylor's size to make sure Emily will like it......HAHAHAHAHAHA. JUST KIDDING!!! Do you have an example of the type of skirt you are talking about??? Is it a CarlaC?? Taylor has to have a cape and fake teeth too!!! How old is Emily?? Taylor is 5.

Piper I love these outfits and am still looking for that cute around the world fabric that you used in the one dress! Does anyone know where i CAN FIND ANY???

Okay Queen Karen!I'm about to take the plunge...my parents are paying for half of the cricut that is on sale at Joann's and I got a coupon for free shipping...I'm so cheap I have had to really justify this to myself over and over again! But I know I'm gonna love it! I just spent the last week buying new clothes for everyone in the family but me for school and work. Since I never go anywhere mine last longer...so I guess this will make up for it!

I'm so excited! I should have it by my birthday...I may have to make myself a card!

Woooohoooooo!!! Yeah for You!! Welcome to my Kingdom! just let me know when you're resdy for new cartridges and more stuff.... I have a way of spending others money!

Sneakers turned out cute! Did you use crystals or skittles? PLEASE let us see the outfit you're sewing when you're done- you always do such great stuff!

More importantly..... Do you, or anyone here, know where I can buy Nightmare Before Christmas fabric?? I have been looking for a month and can't find it in stores or online. WaaaaaaaaaH~~~~

Hi this is a beautiful picture your daughter is so cute beautiful dress

Karen- Other than Grinch, NBC fabric is one of the toughest to find and most expensice. I am 99% sure that almost all the "fabrics" are actually sheet sets. About two years ago I bought a sheet set with three other ladies. We ended up spending about $25 each and got plenty of fabric.

Hmmmm... I even looked for sheet sets and there wasn't much at all! Please..... I need pixie dust.... PLEASE let there be another source! If not, then maybe someone here would llike to go in on a sheet set too??

I hadn't thought of the Grinch! Henry would look so cute in that next year when we take our Thanksgiving trip! I found some really darling Rudolph fabric a couple weeks ago, but not the Grinch.... Now you've sent me out looking for more! My DH ought to love you!!

LOL! Emily is 6 (a very slim 6) I don't have a pattern for the skirt, just an idea for it. Maybe kinda like this...hmmm maybe not, it's too piratey.

Emily likes this costume and wants me to make something like it.

I think a pair of black granny boots would look great - if anyone finds them while searching for the white ones LOL!

What the heck are skittles? LOL, I used crystals/rhinestones. I'll post the NBC set when it's done. I have some orders to finish before I can get back to it. Hot Topic usually carries NBC sheets closer to Halloween. I am not using any licensed fabric, I can never find enough yardage to make a set.

I just searched ebay. No luck. I will keep my eyes open and let you know if anything good pops up. I would love to find more. Hot Topic has carried bedding the last two years but the print was not conducive to boutique clothing.

IMO the best NBC fabric is the pin striped with the Jack heads. It glows in the dark.
