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

I see this is the ruffled halter from YCMT, was it challenging?
I have the annette halter and capri pattern, but not this, I like the back of this- more coverage..

It wasn't challenging, just time consuming because I had to hem all the ruffles. And I hadn't sewn anything since december so I had to get back in the groove. It's definately one of my favorite patterns. I have her "all ruffled up dress". That one is definately time consuming but so cute!

Wow, you all are chatty today! I have been busy making a dress. I am not thrilled with the results. I cased the pink minnie fabric idea and made a dress. It is my first thing I made with my serger. Do you all stick everything before you serge or just serge? I am not happy with how the gathering turned out after I serged and I think I will go back to shirring the back because I don't like how the cased elastic ended up looking. What do you think?

Here it is:

LOVE it! She and the dress are too cute!

Thanks so much! This pattern is from yourcanmakethis . com It is a great site for a beginner!


yeah I've searched the site (and bought a peasant dress pattern to make a cindy work dress with!) but have a hard time figuring out which patterns to buy! do you know the exact name of this pattern? and was it easy to make? I'm quite the beginner! thanks so much for your help.

it is the sami dress It was not the easiest but take your time and you should be fine. The ahrdest was getting the rick rack to be perfect but you could leave that out. I am a perfectionist so it took me a bit to do the 1st side, then the second wasn't so bad.

$45 is a pretty good price for Kaiya Eve pettiskirt isn't it? So my sis knew I had been looking for a few more pettis for Taylor to wear with the things I am making for Disney World....she told me there was a boutique down the road from her house that had some.... So I went to check it out while I was in WV visiting this weekend. Well every time I went the lights were out and door locked, but I could see a Kaiya Eve pink petti in the window and I could see on the tags it was Taylor's size, a dark almost raspberry pink was one of the colors I was looking for. I was bummed when they never seemed to be open I guess they closed for the holiday weekend. Anyhow my sis went today to get it for me.... She called and said it was $45, I asked if they had any other colors in Taylor's size, but they didn't. My sister asked up front just to be sure, and they said they could order other colors and have them within a week..... I told her to go ahead and get white and black too. She said the owner was over the moon excited about me getting 3 (there can't be that huge of a markup if they are only $45 right? or am I crazy?)..... plus the owner kept calling them tutu's and asking if DD took dance, she seemed to think it was a wonderful idea to put them under a skirt, but seemed like she had never heard the idea before. I saw the one my sis got, and even made her send me a picture to make sure it was a petti and not a tutu, I can't imagine what kind of boutique owner wouldn't know the difference??

If the boutique owner is willing to take phone orders and ship I would be ordering a few! If you are willing, please pm me the store's info & I would love to call them and see if I can place an order. My dd is 6 & it is hard to find these in the bigger sizes around here without dropping over $100
Thanks!!! Krysta

I just left my sister a message...... I thought I knew the name of the place, but an internet search didn't find a phone number..... I will ask my sister the name of the place, or worse case she can go by there and get a phone number for me if needed (it is only a mile from her house).

I just realized it's been a few days since we've heard from T-beri...I have this feeling she's having the T-baby. Anyone have any news?

I highly recommend anything by CarlaC- you honestly can't go wrong with her patterns; I'd say in my experience (fairly minimal) that the easy fit pants and simply sweet dress are a great place to start.

Okay. I have a question. I'm making a patchwork tier skirt right now. I've just used my serger to connect all the patches and then ruffled my bottom tier with my ruffler foot on my sewing machine. I am now ready to attach the ruffles to the bottom tier of the skirt. Can I serge it to the bottom? Or will it makes the ruffles come undone while it's cutting? I just don't want to mess it up. I love my serger! This is the 1st time I've used it to sew and it makes everything go so much quicker! Thanks in advance!

Really love to see all the pics of peoples first customs, and the kids when they were littler. I have only been on this thread since the fall.

Here's Hayleigh's circle dress Cinderella outfit. I found this fabric on the red dot clearance at Jo-Ann's so it was $2.50 a yard. It has a little spandex in it so it's a little stretchy. It has a nice feel to it. Of course the Cindy cutie is a HeatherSue design. It stitched out beautifully. Hayleigh wants to wear the outfit all day today. The skirt is a but longer than I planned but I think it looks ok and the shirt and skirt give her growing room.

Glad you figured it out. It looks great. Love the fabric.

wanted to share my beach dress that I made Roseanna for the trip.

Really cute dress, and great pics.

I love the pic of you and your brother.

Great coach.

not my first:
I'm too embarrased... (really, it's bbbbaaaaadddd)ETA: ok, maybe someone will find it "inspirational" in a look mom, she actually learned how, so can I

Trust me, if the outside's not bad enough, you would totally cringe if you could see my excuse for button holes on the inside...
but here's one I finished last night:

It's the wrap dress from ycmt. I have to admit, I hated it right up to the end, then I put it on her (before I gave it away) and realized, hmm, I like it! It definitely looks much, much better on; I think I'll make another for school.

That first one looks fine to me. And love the wrap dress. Glad you got some good pics before sending it away.

My mom just called a few minutes ago. She and my dad have AbbyGrace at WDW right now. Today they are at Epcot. I had sent all of her outfits labelled in ziploc bags so she would put the right outfits on the right days. WELL... this morning my mom called and said "This dress is so cute! Where on earth did you ever get this fabric?" Today she was supposed to wear the Mulan dress that Cindee made her. So, I'm thinking, "well, I didn't make it! And it's solid colored cotton - not real hard to find!" Mom says, "NO! It has Chinese children all over it!" That's when I realize that she has on the wrong dress! She is wearing this!

She was supposed to wear that Sunday to church after they get home. Whatever. No big deal, I guess.
SO, my mom just calls and tells me that they took AbbyGrace to see Mulan. When the character assistant saw her he said, "well, technically, she's finished after this family, but stick around! I'm SURE she wants to see you!" After Mulan finished with her last family, she spent time with AbbyGrace, and took her by the hand and went back to the China pavillion and took pictures for my parents and the photopass guy all along the way. It reminded me of the story that Cindee told us all of her Morgan with Mulan. Now it looks like I'm gonna have similar pictures, but with AbbyGrace in the above dress. I can't wait to see them! Mom was so excited and so touched.

That is so sweet. I hope you end up with some great pics.

If your gathers have the stitches holding them together, you can serge them to the skirt and it won't be a problem. I do it all the time and never have a problem.

Love all the "my first post" posts. I kept having to reboot my pc, so I lost all of them. Not sure when my first post was, but I know it was while I was sewing for my DD's first trip with my parents to DW. I found this thread by searching for disney smocking plates.

My DD still calls her Sleeping Booty.
Your DD is so adorable! I love seeing pictures of her. What a cutie! I like the way you did the random rick rack going across the patches. That really gives it some interest.

It should not mess it up. There are plenty of stitches to hold it down with that serging stitch. You could always sew it on the machine first and then serge it if you are concerned though. I would definitely just serge it.

You are hired! C'mon over and do your magic on my pile of fabric please!
My desk looks similar too...
Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Shannon, I have always loved that dress and what a cute story to go with it now. Can't wait to see the pictures! Are you enjoying your break of being kid free?? I missed Hannah so badly when my parents took her to DW. I totally missed all that prime sewing time.

I can't wait to see the pics! AbbyGrace is having a great time, and we do all miss her. I'm not totally kid free because Ethan is at home. However, he really is pretty self sufficient so it's a lot different than having a 5 year old to care for. I do miss her, and talk to her several times a day. But it has been kinda a nice little breather!
