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

[disneymomof1]

Well, let me tell everyone about my weekend. I always complain about not having enough time to sew because I work full time, well saturday I fell at the bank, broke my right ankle and sprained my left knee. So I am out of commission for a while, but here's the bright side, I HAVE MORE TIME TO SEW. I have my followup with the ortho dr. this afternoon, and we will see then if I need surgery, hopefully not. But today while at home I have already cut out the sophie tunic pattern and I am getting ready to cut out the sewsensible faith double layer dress top for Maddie's fourth of july top. Plus I need to finish off the wrap top dress but looks like time will be on my side. Have a great day everyone, looks like I will be able to post a little more often.

Thanks for all the compliments on the Alice in Wonderland dress. It was fun to work on and my first attempt at using my "new" embroidery machine. Yes, I did use a 4X4 hoop for it. I thought the 5X7 would have been too big. I used the 5X7 for the wording.

Here's Hayleigh's July 4th dress

And here's a Hello Kitty ladybug outfit I made her. She loves ladybugs (the reason why I used that in the title of my blog).

My next project will be to try the Vida for the first time.

Other exciting news, I bought a cricut today and I'm thinking it may be really useful for applique patterns besides the obvious scrapbooking. My husband knew I had been looking at buying one and he saw an infomercial on it last week and saw all the stuff you can do with it. He woke me up this morning after reading the AC Moore ad to tell me we had to go buy it today b/c they were 50% off. Who was I to argue? I got some of the Disney cartridges at Michael's today too b/c they were on sale for cheaper than AC Moore.

Hayleigh has her 4 year old checkup tomorrow and then we are headed to Dutch WOnderland for the day.

Love th Lady bug hello kitty. The 4th out fit is great too. Have fun at Dutch wonderland.

Hi all I haven't forgot about you I have been sewing away for my friend you know her as emcreative. I have had fun sewing for her and her family and she gave me the ok to post some pictures to share with you all. T I am looking forward to seeing your baby pictures.

Lilo hula skirt/shorts

They are all great! I think this is my favorite.

The Cinderella outfit I made for my little cousin to eat a the castle a few weeks ago I forgot to show it, the little tunic is using carla's pattern I made it out of beach towels, my grandaughter is 3 she picked the towel out and wanted belle on the front I think the back looks better than the front, I couldn't get it to center and be able to get cinderellas face on the front to her bathing suit has the princesses on it it was very easy to make and i figured this way she wouldn't have to worry with a towel she could just put this on after swimming. Sorry the pictures are big someday I will figure it all out.

all are fabulous!

This is the dress I made for my neice, Simple Sweet by Carla'c- Halter style

I originally planned this to be thigh length and I was gong to pair it with the MM red polka dot capris, but despite using her Mom's measurements it came out fitting more like a dress- so its a good thing I didnt have time to make the pants.


I started a new quilt this weekend, simple, doing a rail fence with Bali jelly rolls by Hoffman, but its hard to sew during the week.

cute!

I am a lonely lurker. Hopefully I am not driving you nuts! I have this pattern: It isn't pieced, it's appliqued but it was really cute when my mom and I saw it in person. I have the pattern here but I haven't found time to sew it. someday....I so do not have the skills to do the applique like that yet!

I want to thank Aimeeg and jham for their help with the peasant dress a month ago...it ended up being a super cute nightgown for dd. I went on the larger side because it's hard to get clothes over J's head. She doesn't like to stand still for long, lol. My trouble was that I needed a 5/6 bodice on a 3 length (J's 23" around the chest and tummy). I didn't do the tie back because I was farther along than that, but I want to do that the next time. It's a super cute idea. Do any of you have a particular pattern for those ties? Carla C's Simply Sweet dress pattern?

Here's J in her nightgown after a good night's sleep...Love this pattern!

I made a pair of pants to match a tee I picked up at a consignment store. I learned a big lesson. Don't sew a bee button on the knee, lol. She's pulled the button out of the pants now (after two wears). Embroider or applique it. She likes them though.


A couple days later I used one of Claire's patterns to applique Fancy Nancy on a t-shirt. J loves it but I haven't made bottoms to match it yet. I have some FN cotton fabric but I don't know if I should make shorts or a skirt.

Here's J's 4th of July dress. She was turning and twisting when I snapped the pics so the ruffles look a little messed up. I wish I had all of your knack at taking better pics! Maybe on the 4th I will get it right. I used a YCMT pattern. I think it's called the "Cami dress" I'm making another one out of strawberry shortcake fabric. I sewed the quilt and dust ruffle on the bed a couple years ago.Bad pics but the quilt is a log cabin pattern by Kansas Troubles/Moda.

Heather Sue: I so haven't forgotten about buying some of your applique designs. I think I'm the absolute slowest person at making decisions and getting things sewn. I am so sorry! I will figure it out though and get back to you hopefully tomorrow!!!

So cute! Love the bee outfit!

Hi Hi Hi! I don't think I even posted on 14, but I was lurking about! I always enjoy the gorgeous creations and adorable kiddos.

Here are some pics of what I am working on right now...
TERESA AND HEATHER - GO AHEAD AND MAKE FUN (but keep in mind I already suffered considerably just getting these pictures)!!!

And here is the mama version...

I have all the patterns ready to go (6m-12y for kids, XS-3X for women), but
I still need to write up the instructions. I'm not going to get to work on them at all this week because....

We are taking a last minute vacay down to Florida!

We are going to spend one day at MK, and the rest of the time we are going to do the fun Florida things that DH remembers from his childhood . Hopefully I am going to get to see some of my dear Diser friends, too!!!

We fly out tomorrow and I haven't packed a thing . I'm having a hard time resisting the urge to sew customs!

Carla

have fn in WDW and it FL!

Love those Louie pictures! You have to figure out how to photoshop a different outfit on him because those are framable pics just not in the dress!

You look great in the new sundress!
i can't wait for the pattern to come out!

 

[Jenjulia]

My 4 yr old ds loves to play dress up in his sister's princess dresses all the time. We have some pretty funny pics in tutus that I think he may regret when he gets older, lol. I love the fabric and the fit on this. So cute and absolutely perfect! My dd just will not let me pull the fitted bodice over her head, so I had to make the nightgown larger than it should have been. Love yours! So perfect.

Here is my latest! I am pretty proud of it! I have to thank Jessica for all her help and her telling me I could do it! Oh and it is a total case of er famous shirts!

You did great! My oldest ds loves that Mickey Jedi too!

this is so cute! Is it reversible? I love both sides.

Here's Hayleigh's July 4th dress

Great job! The applique looks great with that fabric. I want to make a Vida for J too.

This is so cute! I love that idea. Very, very cute!

I agree...this pattern can be blown up double without any problem...of course, from the looks of it, most of the pattern pieces are basic geometry shapes. Just think a child's building blocks and you should be able to make a workable pattern. I see that the pattern is out of stock...

Using extra borders will help to make it the size you need for your bed. Seeing all the great stuff you guys make, I have no doubt that you can easily make a pattern.

Of course, another thought...using that patern in those dimensions, and adding just the right borders, could make the pattern stand out even more... then using a castle pattern for the quilting (smaller scale) in the blank areas...sorry, quilting is my life, so I tend to over think waaaaay too easily! LOL

I have bookmarked this pattern and will show it to my DIL. My DGD2 is crazy for the princesses...however my DD9 could care less!

Nini

Cute idea! I never thought of that! Little castles would be really cute in corner blocks if you did another border beyond the pink border shown. I don't think that's overthinking at all! I that idea! I was nervous about the carriage and the horse applique, but I think blowing it up would make it a lot easier? To be honest, all of it looks pretty hard to me! The name of the designer is Custom Creations/Cindy Surina. If you would like the contact info, it is on the back of the pattern and I can pm you that.

I am a total quilt shop fanatic. It's bad. My mom and I went to 40 quilt shops last year on the MN quilt shop hop and haven't sewn anything with the fabric we bought yet from the same hop two years ago... I definately need to start overthinking about buying fabric or start sewing instead of buying!

Well, let me tell everyone about my weekend. I always complain about not having enough time to sew because I work full time, well saturday I fell at the bank, broke my right ankle and sprained my left knee. So I am out of commission for a while, but here's the bright side, I HAVE MORE TIME TO SEW. I have my followup with the ortho dr. this afternoon, and we will see then if I need surgery, hopefully not. But today while at home I have already cut out the sophie tunic pattern and I am getting ready to cut out the sewsensible faith double layer dress top for Maddie's fourth of july top. Plus I need to finish off the wrap top dress but looks like time will be on my side. Have a great day everyone, looks like I will be able to post a little more often.

Oh no! Feel better I hope you don't need surgery.


I finally uploaded our trip pics. Sorry for all the pics I can't just pick one.

Oh dear, I sooo feel your pain. this is what I did in Jan. I broke both my ankles though. Luckily I didn't have to have surgery. Hopefully you don't have to either!! Don't push recovery, and relax, as hard as it is....trust me I know! Have fun sewing! hehe and stay off your feet!

Ladies I hope you can help me. My husband had some minor surgery on his knee on Friday. He has been doing well at home over the weekend with ice packs. Last night his knee started to swell and he was unable to go to work today. Well I have been looking for a pattern. I have seen these and can not find them now. They are a bag??? that you put rice or something in. You can then heat or freeze them. I have looked through the book marks but was unable to find anything. This would help him alot at work as he does not have access to ice at work. But he could take a cooler with the frozen bags to use at work. Thank you.

Hi there. Im not sure how well the rice works with the cold, but its great with heat. You can pretty much make them how ever you want with out a pattern. I make these for Christmas gifts. you could even make one with a little elastic band to actually keep it on the knee.

You would just need to cut two pieces of fabric the same size (how ever big and small you want. right sides together, and sew it up, leave a 3 inch gap unsewn to turn and fill with rice or whatever else you might use. I only fill it up three quarters of the way full with rice. (long grain rice is what I have been told to use) and then sew the hole closed.

You can get really decorative with them if you want. they can be as fancy or simple. SO fun to make. We have made heart shape ones, and even a mickey head one.

My daughter saw this pirate fabric at Walmart and flipped out! I love how you paired it with dots.

Carla - I LOVE that dress for momma! I can't wait till it is done. I really need it! Can you have it done before Sept??????

Disneymomof1 Hope you heal fast! Sometimes we need something to happen to us to slow us down...hope you get lots of sewing done!

Love all the things posted lately. That dress for 1900 Park Fare was beautiful!

I could use some prayers. Got a call this am that my MIL is in the hospital. They are running tests, but no word yet. She is 74 and quite overweight, but hasn't ever been in a hospital before. Thanks/

 

[NiniMorris]

OK...that's IT...I'm hooked!

Just decided my girls NEED something new for September trip to the Mouse House! I have an idea of either a sundress or sundress 'type' top and shorts for each night's dining. Nothing too fancy, just simple and easy. I've seen some fabric I like, so I think I can get enough inspiration to make enough outfits for them before I go.

Any suggestions on a pattern? From what I see...I know it will probably be a Carla C pattern. But which one? The little one is a size 2 and the bigger one is a size 10 (I know, I know...most of the patterns are only as large as an 8, but I think I can make it work...)

Sorry I am so far behind. I have been reading!

Wow, so many cute outfits!! Love the Harry Potter stories and pictures. My claim to fame with HP is that I fell asleep in the 2nd movie, right when the spiders were coming out. I was tired and it was nice and comfy! My family won't take me again!

I am another who also bought both peasant shirt patterns and always use Carla's! I have a skinny minnie to sew for too and put ties in the side to make it fit her better. Or I shirr the back!

Tinka, that dress and your DD is beautiful! I can't wait to see the clearer pictures!

Wish me luck! I'm going to try shirring tonight!!

How did it go?

Love the 4th of July dress and the ladybug is too cute! Lucky ducky with the Cricut machine! I have been wanting one of those!!

What a cute little model! I will be buying that pattern! I bought the miss madeline and it scares me. I prefer more instructions!! Have a great time in FL!!!

Does anyone know which JoAnn stores are closing? I saw it today on the aol screen and I was just wondering

I made my first tutu late last night

We just moved 2 weeks ago and my cords to both sewing machines got "lost" so now I have to call and order them.. Fun times

Cute tutu! I think if I ever move, the sewing machine and all its parts will be in the car with me!

Sorry about your injuries but for the extra sewing time. Way back when, when I worked full time, I would think all year about what I needed to go wrong with me so I could have summers off. I had knee surgery one summer, gall bladder out another. Good thing I decided staying home with DD was more important all year long. I was running out of things to go wrong!

Oh no! Feel better I hope you don't need surgery.

I finally uploaded our trip pics. Sorry for all the pics I can't just pick one.

Prayers being sent.

Sorry I had to paraphrase, my post was way too long!!

So, I have a busy week ahead. I am finishing up an outfit today to ship, then I have 3 more outfits to make this week! Should we place bets as to whether I can make it or not??

 

[LisaZoe]

Quick question!

I'm trying to work as quickly on my skirt pattern/instructions as I can. I'm stuck, though, on sizing. Right now I've just been going by the finished skirt length rather than the 'size'. The range of lengths I have so far is from 9" to 15". That should cover most sizes of girls who might want to wear such a skirt (I hope). Since the skirt is fairly full, I don't think it would make a big difference if the waist for a certain length varies a few inches.

My question: Do you think it would be confusing if I just left the 'size' based on the skirt length rather than a standard clothing size? I started to put sizes on my chart but realized I was doing so somewhat arbitrarily.

Thanks!

What can I use instead of the rice that would hold the cold??? That is the main thing I was wondering about. I am just at a loss to figure out how to do this. I thought of Ice packs like you would use is a cooler(the small ones) but they are too heavy on his knee and hurt. Thanks again.

Thoughts on their way. I hope that there is nothig major wrong that can't be fixed easily. And I hope what ever it is, she heals up and gets well quickly.

We got another one! One of my favorite patterns has to be the simply sweet Tops and Dresses
http://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/featured-products/Simply-Sweet-Tops-and-Dresses.htm

There are so many things you can do with this pattern. The dresses are great.

for tops I love the criss cross applesauce pattern by another disser. (we just have so many creative designers here)
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.ph...pe=handmade&ga_page=&order=date_desc&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

Both of these are super easy with great instructions. My dd lives in these both.

I just wanted to post on the same page as my sister for once! I feel like I never get the chance to goof around on here anymore!

Hi Heather!

Yesterday was the wedding that Jenna was the flowergirl for. We spent 2 hours getting her ready and it was well worth it. She was beautiful. I took about 20-30 pictures before the wedding and at the reception, but the settings were wrong on my camera so they all look like this:

Can you take a picture of the dress now? I would love to see it better! It looks gorgeous!

Hi! I'm sorry to have to ask... but I read on one of the posts (think it was on thread 14) that there was an ebay seller that sold Disney fabric. I went to ebay and searched for the seller and added them to my favourites. When I went back onto ebay today the seller wasn't on my favourite list for some reason??? I have since spent the last 2 hours trying to find the post that had the seller ID on it and I think I'm going crazy.

Please could the OP or anyone else who knows post the seller ID again??? I would be soooo grateful. We just don't seem to have any Disney fabric here in the UK, I have only come across fleece so far and that won't make a very good twirl skirt



TIA!

I think it was this one: lilycorner

Wow.. I know this is strange. There has been a a few deaths in the past few days in the celeb world. Well I dont know if you would say that Billy Mays is a celeb, but you all know him...

Billy Mays died this morning. you know the Oxyclean guy. The one that yells at everything. Here is the link

He was just on Conan Obrien the other night. That is so sad.

Thanks for all the compliments on the Alice in Wonderland dress. It was fun to work on and my first attempt at using my "new" embroidery machine. Yes, I did use a 4X4 hoop for it. I thought the 5X7 would have been too big. I used the 5X7 for the wording.

I love these!

Lilo hula skirt/shorts.

I LOVE this!

The Cinderella outfit I made for my little cousin to eat a the castle a few weeks ago I forgot to show it, the little tunic is using carla's pattern I made it out of beach towels, my grandaughter is 3 she picked the towel out and wanted belle on the front I think the back looks better than the front, I couldn't get it to center and be able to get cinderellas face on the front to her bathing suit has the princesses on it it was very easy to make and i figured this way she wouldn't have to worry with a towel she could just put this on after swimming. Sorry the pictures are big someday I will figure it all out.

I love the dress and the coverup!! That Cinderella is just beautiful! I wish the pictures were bigger though!

Can I tell you I just had the best snack. Its soo hot and too hot to cook so we put fresh picked blackberries and plopped them into some applesauce! mashed it all up, and it was sooooo good. You guys have to try it. Its super duper quick easy snack. not to mention healthy and sweet.

MMMM..sounds yummy!

This is the dress I made for my neice, Simple Sweet by Carla'c- Halter style

I originally planned this to be thigh length and I was gong to pair it with the MM red polka dot capris, but despite using her Mom's measurements it came out fitting more like a dress- so its a good thing I didnt have time to make the pants.

I started a new quilt this weekend, simple, doing a rail fence with Bali jelly rolls by Hoffman, but its hard to sew during the week.

That is so cute!!! Where did you find the fabric?

I am a lonely lurker. Hopefully I am not driving you nuts! I have this pattern: http://www.virginiaquilter.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/online-store/scstore/p-PRNCSS.html?E+scstore. It isn't pieced, it's appliqued but it was really cute when my mom and I saw it in person. I have the pattern here but I haven't found time to sew it. someday.... I so do not have the skills to do the applique like that yet!

I want to thank Aimeeg and jham for their help with the peasant dress a month ago...it ended up being a super cute nightgown for dd. I went on the larger side because it's hard to get clothes over J's head. She doesn't like to stand still for long, lol. My trouble was that I needed a 5/6 bodice on a 3 length (J's 23" around the chest and tummy). I didn't do the tie back because I was farther along than that, but I want to do that the next time. It's a super cute idea. Do any of you have a particular pattern for those ties? Carla C's Simply Sweet dress pattern?

Here's J in her nightgown after a good night's sleep...Love this pattern!

Awww, so cute!

I still need to write up the instructions. I'm not going to get to work on them at all this week because....

We are taking a last minute vacay down to Florida!

We fly out tomorrow and I haven't packed a thing . I'm having a hard time resisting the urge to sew customs!

Ok off to finish uploading my pics from Atlanta AG and meeting Jessica! Oh and catching up on this thread.

Great job!!!
I love that hidden Mickey!

Well, let me tell everyone about my weekend. I always complain about not having enough time to sew because I work full time, well saturday I fell at the bank, broke my right ankle and sprained my left knee. So I am out of commission for a while, but here's the bright side, I HAVE MORE TIME TO SEWI have my followup with the ortho dr. this afternoon, and we will see then if I need surgery, hopefully not. But today while at home I have already cut out the sophie tunic pattern and I am getting ready to cut out the sewsensible faith double layer dress top for Maddie's fourth of july top. Plus I need to finish off the wrap top dress but looks like time will be on my side. Have a great day everyone, looks like I will be able to post a little more often.

Oh no! Feel better soon! And get lots of sewing done!

Eating with matching outfits I made. They where amazing with her Celiac Gluten free Diet!

I love this picture! All the kids got along so well!
Jessica and I couldn't stop talking. We had so much fun. Her stuff is even more amazing in person.

Nikki looks so cute with her doll! I love the dress!
The kids look adorable!

Ladies I hope you can help me. My husband had some minor surgery on his knee on Friday. He has been doing well at home over the weekend with ice packs. Last night his knee started to swell and he was unable to go to work today. Well I have been looking for a pattern. I have seen these and can not find them now. They are a bag??? that you put rice or something in. You can then heat or freeze them. I have looked through the book marks but was unable to find anything. This would help him alot at work as he does not have access to ice at work. But he could take a cooler with the frozen bags to use at work. Thank you.

They are under the "non-clothing" category. They are called rice bags. I think there are about 6 in there.
