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

[disneymomof1]

ALERT**ALERT**ALERT
TURNERSVILLE, NJ WALMART- fabric is 50% off starting today!!!!!! i had not even known it was 25% off this past week. Sorry to be so late telling everyone. They still have tons of stuff and most character fabrics they have more than one bolt of each

Of course, just my luck, right when I break my ankle and cannot drive, the sale starts. I asked DH to take me to Joanns today and he looked at me like I was crazy, because technically I am supposed to be off my feet until this wednesday. Oh well, it's not like I don't have enough fabric already.

Well I got Taylor's 4th of July outfit done, and my new camera arrived this morning, but no model.... I wanted to play with my camera so I went ahead and took a picture.... I'll put a picture of her in it when I get back in town sunday. My DD went with my mom to her house 5 hours away yesterday, and I am joining them there tonight.

I really should be packing, but I think I am going to try and work on another Disney World outfit for a little while.

To My Dear Dis Friends,

Thank you all for the wonderful prayers and kind words you have sent my way. I truly appreciate them more than you will ever know. After going through the saddest, most heart-wrenching and difficult case we could ever imagine, we were finally able to adopt our beautiful baby boy. Last night was the first night in well over a year and a half where I did not stay up fearing the worst; that our son would be ripped from our hearts and lives forever. We have truly been blessed once again. Our lives have been enriched and we are forever grateful for the family that we have been given.

Sincerely your friend!!!
Beth

Oh Beth, that is fantastic! I love the picture! He's a handsome little guy! I'm so glad he's yours!

Okay.. Houdini it is!
He sounds like alot of fun. I feel like I wouldn't know what to do with a boy. I think I'd want to stick bows on him.

That's how I feel too! With three girls already, I am afraid of what would happen to a boy! I would love a fourth (but my DH says no) and everyone asks if we want a boy. I actually think I would be afraid to have a boy now! My girls would probably dress him up as a girl (like so many others on here )!

I swear you guys get more talented every time I come here!
Love EVERY THING!

Mousetripper CONGRATS on the adoption that is such amazing news!!!!!!!!! Your son is beautiful!

Here is a pluto applique I did for our trip in November but there is no way I will be able to put it away for then so he gets to wear it. Yes he makes faces and poses in EVERY picture!

Oh and I wanted to add I am so proud of my kids! Nikki moved up to year 2 blue belt in Karate and Kyle moved up to a green belt. He is still in yr one but since Nikki moved up they go to 1 yr 1 class and 1 yr 2 class. They had their first yr 2 class last night both loved it. I was amazed at how well Kyle did! It is mostly grappling and he LOVES it! He was so focus which he never usually is. So it was a huge deal for me to see how great he did in the big guy class. Nikki well she is one of those kids who is good at everything.

Cute shirt! And yeah! to Nikki and Kyle!

That is really cute! I think it is my favorite twirl skirt ever. Great Job!!

Mya's Big Give-

I thought I would share my pics for Mya's Big Give. This was really bittersweet for me because Mya is three months younger than my daughter and they are almost the same size. My DH got really upset when he heard a little bit about her story. He was really happy that I made the outfit too.

The skirt is only 10 inches long. I know it is going to be hot so I decided to keep it one layer. Also, I am really happy I had two hats. Let's just say the first was a hot fix disaster!! The second I just bejeweled. It will cover her and head and add a little bling bling.

 

[karebear1]

Aimeeg- that Big Give outfit is really cute! You did a wonderful job on it! I just love it when you ladies share the Big give outfits with us- you're all just too sweet. All these big gives....... just storing up blessings for sure!

What wonderful news, Beth! He is a beautiful boy and definitely looks like he loves his mommy.

I have a pattern similar to the portrait peasant. I was thinking because of the elastic in the arms that this might be bad? Good idea about shortening the bodice. I kept trying to think of things without a bodice. I usually make Alines, but I fear it won't work well on her.

One thing I like to do on sleeves is using 2 or 3 rows of shirring rather than elastic in a casing. Shirring just seems so much more flexible for size and won't feel tight even when it's fitting close.

That is so cute!

On a side note, why is it that hats can be more trouble than the rest of the set? I think I spent almost as much time making Mya's hat as I did the skirt for her set.

Idiot applique question:

Okay, so does the stabilizer go between the applique and the garment, or does it go under the garment (applique on top, then garment, then stabilizer).

Idiot applique question:

It somewhat depends on the type of stabilizer you are using. For the ones that are tear away or cut away, fuse the applique to the garment or base fabric and put the stabilizer on the 'wrong side' of the applique area. Wash away stabilizer (like Sulky Solvy) can be placed either on the back of the area to be appliqued or on top.

You definitely don't want the stabilizer to go between the applique and the garment because then the fusible won't be keeping the applique stuck to the garment.

It goes under the garment. (applique on top, then garment, then stabilizer. If you are appliqueing on knit then it's best to have a water solvable clear stabilizer on the very top of the project. It keeps the stitches from disappearing into the knit. When you are all done you just run it under water and it desolves.

 

[DisneyKings]

I bought my first heathersue design, and I don't even have an embroidery machine! My friend has an embroidery machine, so we had fun making mickey cupcakes! The only problem is, I nicked a hole in the t-shirt while trimming the fabric. Any ideas on how to keep it from falling apart? Or do I need to start over?

After we made the ones to go with the cupcake skirts I plan to make, we decided they would make good 4th of July outfits too.

I made these shorts for my friend's DD, now I have to make 2 prs for my 2 DDs! Nothing like waiting until the last minute!

Looove this shirt, the cuties are some of my favorites! Congrats on their advancement, too!

Couple of things I got completed in the last day or so.

Dress for my mom (pre shirred, everyones talk about shirring problems has scared me)



Dress for me



Yes, mom is the same size as me, so I get to model as she hasn't seen it yet. And the pics are courtesy of Liam, so I did not have to use the bathroom mirror method.

Cute dresses! I'm scared of shirring, too!

That is gorgeous. I think it is my favourite July 4th outfit that I have seen.

that is really cute. She will love it.

Sorry, I am no help about the nick, but just wanted to say that they are all cute and it is good to see you are getting so much use out of the 1 pattern.

 

[100AcrePrincess]

Ok, I finally finished up my first Vida. This pattern is very easy. I hand appliqued Ariel before and after on it. I used deisgns from my new cricut. It was deifnitely a learning experience using a pattern that way, but will be even faster the next time.

Not sure what I'm going to do next. I have the Feliz pattern but it intimidates me. DOes anyone know of an online tutorial for the Feliz? It's hard to understand the directions on the pattern.

I like it! I really need to try the Vida. I think the bigger appliques would agree with me more (esp. for faces).

I made my first dresses ever using the simply sweet pattern!

Sorry for so many pictures! These aren't as fancy as all of your wonderful creations, but I must admit that I am proud of myself and can't wait to make more! They are going to wear these in the 4th of July parade in our town! The bad part is I had to make 4 dress since I have 2 daughters and they love to match their AG dolls! I am definitely ready to see some different material!

They may not be fancy, but they're very cute & your girls really seem to like them. That's the important part anyway.

CONGRATS!!!!!

People have already answered but usually I put it on the backside of the fabric base.

You can buy something called Fray Check, it should be on the notions wall It is kind of like clear nail polish.

I'm glad you asked-I did know how to use the tear away stabilizer but I think I'll try the wash away on my next tee.
