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

[mirandag819]

Wow that is beautiful. I love the front Apron and the dragonfly buttons. I agree with the PP who recommended a minimum starting bid for the auction. I am not sure what a Chinese Auction is though. Is it similiar to a silent auction? I think you might raise more money if you put it on ebay and mention that it is to raise money for the Breast Cancer 3day. Good Luck it is beautiful and you put a lot of work into it!

Those are adorable! The A-line Mickey is really cute. I like the dog show A-line too. But could you post a little bigger picture?


Beautiful outfit and I love the pictures. What kind of camera did you get? I just got a new camera for my birthday too. Mine is a Canon Powershot SX10IS

Thanks! It is a Nikon D90 SLR..... I swear I have bought at least 2 cameras a year for the past couple of years, trying to get pictures I liked. I hated how big SLRs are and didn't really want to learn to use one, but I finally gave in and decided that was the only way I was going to like the pictures I take. So far I have mostly used auto settings while playing around and learning how it works, but even in auto mode I have been very happy with it.

Love all the outfits posted lately!!!!!! Everyone is doing some amazing work!!!!

As some of you may know, we are going to Disney in October. We are planning to do the Princess Breakfast in Epcot and we will dress Parker and my niece up in princess stuff but I'm thinking that I do not want to do full princess dresses b/c we will not be going back to the resort afterwards to let them change and I don't think wearing those big dresses all day will be very comfortable and it will be hot. However, I am making Michael and my little nephew Prince Charming outfits (red pants w/the white coats & gold trim) but I can easily fold those up after changing & place them in a bag. I don't think big princess dresses will be that easy.

I'm looking for ideas for Princessy things that they can wear, anybody got any pics to show me?

Also, do you think it will look bad or clash if the boys are in Prince costumes and the girls in something less costumey? Any advice greatly appreciated

Ok I have the dress for the CHinese Auction one step from being done and I need opinions.....This is the basic dress. (It is sewn together now the pic was before the skirt & top were sewn together.)

In my head I have always had this....

Here is the side & back pics

Is the front "apron" too much? I think I really like it like this. But wanted some of the pros thoughts before I sew it together. And do you think this is too much for a Beef n Beer Chinese Auction or do you think I would raise more money by putting it on ebay? ( It is for the Breast Cancer 3day in Philly - I will be walking if I can get enough money raised.) I have enough time to make something simpler for the Auction if you think it would do better on ebay. TIA,
Carol

Carol, I LOVE this dress, it's absolutely gorgeous! And agree, putting it on Ebay (with a minimum or reserve) is probably a good bet.

Ok I am back in town now and have some pics of Taylor in her 4th of July outfit now. I love my camera, I think I took like 800 pictures in just the couple hours at the park. Taylor was having a blast playing with my cousin's little girl, they were born a week apart and are best of friends when they are together, but they don't get to see each other enough since we live 5 hours away.

Here is Taylor reading her shirt to us:

Twirling (or skipping while twirling)

Can you see I added Mickey to the hairbows, had to Disneyfy it.... I need to practice making hairbows though!

Just because I am excited to finally get nonblurry good swing pictures.... I have tried and tried to get a good swing picture for years, but they never look great.... I think I have 100 swing pictures from yesterday that I like. I really love the camera, now I just need to learn how to really use it.

And just because they look so sweet

She looks wonderful; I bet Daddy was proud of his little princess and her mama!

Tyler finished a rag quilt this weekend that he made for his Auntie Barb. He picked the fabric, cut it and sewed it all himself on his new machine. The colours are bright, but Barb loves it cause it came from him.





Also, I mostly finished a POTC bowling shirt this weekend. I have not done the button holes or buttons yet cause I think it needs some skulls, and can't find any yet. Guess I will have to hunt for some.







And one more cause he doesn't look quite as stunned in this photo.



Gonna have to pick a better photo spot next time. Things are pretty busy with all the stuff on the fridge, and the shorts he is wearing etc.

Tell your DS great job on the quilt! I love the POTC shirt!

Love all the 4th customs and photos! My girls had to wear last year's. Good thing they still fit! The boys just wore flag tees

Glad you got another chance to wear them, they're great! Super photos, too

Here are some photos of Lily from a photoshoot (playing with my new camera) the other day. My friend Jen made the pillowcase dresses, I made the ruffle pants and peasant top.

Beautiful! Both the outfits and, of course, the model!

I really like the quilt

I love the Pirate Bowling shirt did you use pillow case to make it? My son would love that.

L I found out this evening that the mother did not put the dress on Serena for her birthday like I was told. I was also told that all of the other dresses that I made for her were not worn other than the first time for me to see her in them. I will not be sewing for her anymore.

I'm sorry. That's so hard for me to understand...you do fantastic stuff!

But, now you'll have more time to sew for your little princess right?

Love your photos! I got a D90 last October and am still learning how to use it. I did buy a DVD on amazon and that helped. I also bought a book but honestly haven't read too much of that yet.

 

[emcreative]

Tyler, your quilt is AWESOME dude! Too bad you aren't closer so you could show ME how to sew!

I love the quilt, and I love how you really put thought into the fabrics! It's a "Tyler Original" and that ROCKS!

This is the number one request I always get from my customers, they want comfy princesses dresses...how about simple sundresses for the day...

I hate to repeat pictures,,,,(please forgive me is just to give you an idea)

I made cinderella halter sundress, (sorry do not have the pictures as customer requested for me not to post them) but it was really cute and I know the girl loved it, ( she send me a beautiful thank you card)...

and also I've seen a beautiful snow white dress here ( forgot who posted!!) using CarlaC peasant pattern ... it was a beauty and sleeping beauty sundress by revrob, !!!!!

also if you ahve the simply sweet pattern by Carla the possibilities are endless!!!!!!!

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

How do you like the Canon? That is one I may be looking at.

So far I like it a lot. I was trying to read a book about how to use it and I was having a hard time. Next week we are going to visit some friends in Panama City, FL they are both photographers and I am hoping to get some lessons on how to use it from them. I do much better if someone shows me rather than try to read. Our older camera was just a 6 megapixel Canon Powershot. It fits nicely in your pocket but I wanted some better quality pictures.

Love all the 4th customs and photos! My girls had to wear last year's. Good thing they still fit! The boys just wore flag tees

I love the fabrics you used. Glad you got one more year of use out of them.

Here are some photos of Lily from a photoshoot (playing with my new camera) the other day. My friend Jen made the pillowcase dresses, I made the ruffle pants and peasant top.

Your pictures came out great and I love those outfits. I have some of the flower print in the first picture. It is so pretty.

Thanks Everyone for the compliments on the dress. It is actually a Simply Sweet not a Feliz. I don't own that pattern so I changed the Simply Sweet. A Chinese Auction is where they buy tickets and put them in the bucket for what they want to win and a winning ticket is drawn out of the bucket. At least that was how it was explained to me. I think I will put this on ebay as long as I get the other dress finished. I am going to do a quick Simply Sweet Phillies dress. Thanks everyone!
Carol

Thank you for the explanation. I think ebay would raise more money and Good Luck with the Phillies dress.

Has anyone heard from T????

I was wondering the same thing? I hope she is holding that dear sweet baby.

How about a princess inspired sundress? I think Revrob made a really pretty one it was Aurora.

Wow sorta off topic..... but has anyone noticed how much the banners on the top of the page match what we are talking about.... I have noticed before that it really seemed to fit, but never noticed the exact topic. I said something about the Nikon D90, and now there was a banner for the Nikon D90..... it wasn't there before. I have seen similar things before, but it just made me really notice it and wonder if there is some sorta thing that picks up keywords from what we post and change the ad, or is that just a huge coincidence?

 

[emcreative]

mommyof3princess has made some GREAT ones for my girls, maybe PM her for some info on how she did it?

I don't have the "official" pics yet but here are the crafting ones?

Cinderella sun dress.

(I think the lilo skirt is still my fav, though!

Lilo hula top.

Lilo hula skirt/shorts )

So sad!

What about shirts that say 'Grandpa's pixie dust' or 'Grandpa's little Magic'? Then you can do them in different fabric but they would all say the same thing . Then add matching skirts or shirts.

Thank you! I've been looking just now at the creative Disigns group. I know you guys have used their designs on t-shirts, before. For some reason I'm nervous about trying that since I've never done anything like that before. I have bad experience with iron-on transfers. I wish we had a better printer, too. But that might be the best way to go, since I don't have an embroidery machine. We have a new embroidery company in town, but I don't know what their rates are, yet. Anyway, thanks! You folks have my gears turning, now.

Oh I really like the Mickey A-Line. And I see that the fabric is from old sheets, so the rest of us are out of luck.

Oh, is it a sheet? Too bad. The print looked so familiar to me, for some reason. I wonder what I'm thinking of?? Maybe I saw it on ebay at some point in my life. Who knows.

OK, how did I miss the fabric swap thread? I was looking through the first post in this thread (see, I eventually follow the rules ) and saw a mention of a fabric swap with a link to the thread. The timing is perfect as I had already been thinking I needed to let some fabric go to homes where it will be used and not just left in storage. If I happen to get some in return, that doesn't mean I fell off my fabric 'diet', right? Anyway, I found some photos I'd taken in the past of the fabric to show and will be considering what other prints can move on. It's just so hard parting with any because I can't help but feel I'll find the perfect thing to make with the fabric just as I send it off. Of course I too often feel that way when I start to use some fabric and end up never using it... just in case.

Love that your son made the quilt

what beautiful princesses you have !!:Love the outfits too!!!

 

[kjbrown]

Whew! I'm caught back up (again). Couldn't read everything, but sooooo many cute pics have been posted!

The good news for me, I've picked a few days to take off and sew!! So hopefully, after July 24th, I'll be able to post some pics of stuff I've made. It's been a while! My stash piles keep glaring at me whenever I walk past my sewing area.

Thanks. I will have to show Tyler the boards tonight, cause he loves it when people quote him.

Yes, that is a pillowcase. I got it at Walmart. I am going to use the other side to make a matching one for my Dnef who is coming to WDW with us in Sept.

Not a coincidence. They pick up key words from the thread.

the POTC shirt is just amazing!!!!

Thank you. I don't think I have ever seen a smilie in reference to my stuff. Thanks again.

And I just found some skull buttons at my local fabric shop. Not exactly what I wanted, but DS will be pleased with them and I am happy that they only cost $3 for enough buttons for both shirts.
