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

[NiniMorris]

Good point. I think you could make it bigger. The pattern for the applique is a photocopy and I think you could easily blow it up on the copier to a bigger size, if that makes sense? I am not really super great at math, usually the quilt shop ladies help me (or my mom) with figuring out dimensions, etc...when I've had to make a quilt bigger. I haven't made an applique quilt bigger though...but I had planned to figure out a way to make it fit a twin size quilt... When I figured out how to applique...

The applique is very small and tiny pieces. If it was made double size I think it would be much easier to applique, to be honest. But I am a beginner.

A twin quilt is roughly 65" x 88" (twin mattress size of 39" x 75"). The primary applique on the pattern is approximately 16" x 17". I don't think you would want to enlarge it any more than double its original size (double would be 32" x 34.5"). If you doubled the size of all the appliques on the quilt, it would fit the top of the bed nicely. Then you could add borders of whatever size you would need to fit the bed width/lenth wise. Lol...I have stared at this pattern for the last year and a half....I just have an amazing amount of fear or applique. I have read/watched the tutorials linked to the first page...I just need to get over my fear.

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!

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.


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!

Carla

Must have this!!!!! That is gorgeous! I was just saying recently that I need a cute little summer dress, but it seems like most in the store are more geared towards Juniors or are too short. This is perfect!
Have fun on your vacation, but when you get back, get busy!
Your patterns have given me the confidence to start sewing again; I can't thank you enough!

 

[mom2prettyprincess]

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

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

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the dress! AND the MODELS!
Have a GREAT time on vacation - I hope it's truly magical! WOO HOO for VACATIONS!

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

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.

I loved the Alice in Wonderland dress. Your Fourth of July dress and Hello Kitty outfit are adorable. Good Luck with the checkup!

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.

Minnie top.

Minnie skirt.

Pirate skirt #1

Pirate skirt #2

Lilo hula top.

Lilo hula skirt/shorts

Hula dress.

Cinderella sun dress.

Belle sun dress.

These are so pretty!
You have been working hard.

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.



sorry Im so far behind I posted this on the old thread at first.

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.

How sweet!

 

[JustcallmeHappy]

I made my first tutu late last night

Here is a pic from DS's bday party favors that I made (I can't find his bday pics so here is one from field day instead)

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

 

[2cutekidz]

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.

I love the 4th of July dress!! I have that pattern, and can't wait to try it out!
Fancy Nancy definately eeds a skirt - pants are't fancy enough

LOL! Our poor boys. I've been told I'm going to have sky high theapy bills because of the things I've made Matthew model! Maybe we can get a group therapy discount! They can start a support group "My Mom Made ME Wear Dresses!"

They look adorable!! My SIL isalmost 4 months preggers and she would love this right now! Have fun on your vacation!! Go pack!!

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

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?

Sounds yummy! For an adults only restaurant I would pick a Signature Restaurant like California Grill or Artist Point. I have also read a lot of good reviews for The Wave which is also in the Contemporary resort.

I made my first tutu late last night

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!!!

The nightgown is darling! I have a Fancy Nancy oufit planned for my project today. I love that 4th of July dress, that pattern is on the top of my wish list!

Thanks guys for the compliments on my fuzzy pics. I don't know how long it will take to get the better pics, but as soon as they are in my hands I will post them here.

Everything posted today is adorable. I love all of those polka dots especially!

I started a Summer outfit for Jenna tonight. I was embroidering monkeys on an Emma Swing top and I had to rip it out twice, because it was in the wrong position and then the darn thread kept breaking. After I rethreaded the machine for the third time the whole design was off. It started stitching half of the face over the arms. I don't know how that happened and I don't know how to fix it, so out of the machine it went and I will try again tomorrow when I am not tired.

That sounds a lot like my attempt at embroidering yesterday! I was trying to do a simple monogram shirt for Mya and had to run to Walmart and buy a new shirt I messed up so badly.

Jeanne-I am glad to hear that its not just me that messes up royally. After we get back from the doc's I am going to try again.

I thought I would post this link. http://treasuresfortots.blogspot.co...howComment=1246283686750#c6363059978736235932 A friend of mine posted a new update on her blog and she found the cutest tutorial for room organizers. I think that I am going to try to make some of these for Jenna's room.

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

Can I pout for a minute? I WANNA A CRICUT too! But DH says no for now.

HAVE A GREAT TIME AT DUTCH WONDERLAND! It's a kingdom for kids! We were there for a day last week and had a blast. My in-laws live in the York area so we get to Lancaster once a summer.

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 top.

Lilo hula skirt/shorts

All of them are wonderful but I really like the Lilo skirt. Very cute and creative.

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.

Great job. How was sewing with the towel?

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.

Have fun in Florida!

 

[minnie2]

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!

The eyes were really hard so I hope with practice I will get better at them.


Here are some pics from the Harry potter exhibit we went to. I couldn't take any inside
Waiting to go in

My 3 kids playig with a water exhibit at the museum

Oh and look what I found!

As my brother said when I showed him 'youa re all Disney all the time huh?'

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

 

[littlepeppers]

How do you stitch in the small circles & curves?

I have to finish this pumpkin head before DS comes home from camping. He doesn't know we are going to Disney & he would question an orange shirt w/ a Mickey pumpkin head on it. I have the head sewn on, but I can make the turns for the nose, mouth & eyes.

Do I need to change a stitch length,width. I did the outside on 2.5 and 0.4.

HELP!

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.



sorry Im so far behind I posted this on the old thread at first.

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.

I love this fabric. Its soo pretty. Where did you find it?

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!

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!!!

Look at you! I love that 4th dress. Reminds me I need to get on the skirt for Peach.

UGH.... Im getting so angery. I keep getting prank calls on my cell phone. I have gotten 12 in the last HOUR, it started Saturday night late. I think I know who it is, but not for sure. Its just childish and annoying. My cousin said maybe they are trying to rack up my minutes, but the funny thing about that is I hae unlimited minutes, so it wouldn't matter if they were. hahaha I am just tried of talking to myself. Everytime they call and just sit there on the phone I just start talkin. But nobody talks back...hmmm They call so much you would think they want to talk right??

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

Oh, poor Louie. Love the pouty face.
Great dress. Glad to see it will come in grown up sizes too.
Have a good trip. And get packing!!!

I made my first tutu late last night

Here is a pic from DS's bday party favors that I made (I can't find his bday pics so here is one from field day instead)

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

Great tutu. Love the ribbon. That was a great idea for party favours. I', sure the kids loved them. Last year I bought T-shirts, fabric paint and stencils and had the kids make up their own shirts at Ty's party. They had a great time and I still see them wearing their T's. And sorry about losing the cords, I hate when that happens.

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!

The eyes were really hard so I hope with practice I will get better at them.

Oh and look what I found!

As my brother said when I showed him 'youa re all Disney all the time huh?'

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

The jedi Mickey looks great. My kids point out hidden mickeys everywhere. People think they are disney obsessed too, but I am proud of them.
