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

[snubie]

wanted to share my 1st creation for our trip. I still need to do a matching set for Russell. Roseanna was fun on this photo shoot and even found her inner beast Ready for too many Roseannas????

This is just beautiful! As everyone has already said, those colors look amazing on her.

This is just beautiful. I love the colors you picked and the style of dress. I have had this pattern for a while and I so want to make it now! The dress brings out your dd's eyes perfectly!

I have been struggling all day. I had to toss a tank about 27/30 steps into the applique. My girls decided no one wanted a certain Muppet dress. I have to redo the whole design and I am stuck! UGH!!!

Tonight I decided to do something a little fun.

This is very cool but I wanna see the Muppet dress.

I made my first applique! We've always called Ava our little piggy because she was born year of the pig on the Chinese calender (my husband's half Chinese). We're not really into the zodiac stuff, but her Chinese relatives always send her piggy jewelry and things so it kind of caught on. Anyway, so, appropriately, I made her a piggy applique. The dress is just a t-shirt dress (is that what you call it? Where you sew a skirt onto an old t-shirt?). I just wanted to do something simple in case the applique didn't turn out. I think I'm happy with it, though!

You did a great job, you should be very proud.

Okay I'm so nervous to share these but here is what I have so far. I started with a pattern and that lasted about 10 minutes THen I went off on my own. It also changed from all in one piece dress, to a skirt with a bodice (with the overskirt attached to the bodice). All I really have left to do is close up the back. I would guess this is now about the equivalent of a women's 12 or so.

The bodice in progress:

The "dress" together:

This is just amazing. You have done a great job creating your own pattern and it looks like it fits great.

I love how it turned out! I can't believe that you did it with no pattern WTG

I love the dog dress! What a cute idea!



I use my pinking shears all the time! Whenever I am sewing on a curve and it directions say the clip the curves I use my pinking shears instead. I was about to write about them on my blog, lol!

I made a little Hello Kitty purse today (with my pinking shears) but I was informed I forgot the whiskers!

I wanna see the Hello kitty purse!

So I guess I need to get pinking sheers asap huh?

Threw this together from bandanas for my godchild. It was so easy..

Cute!

So creative!

I am doing a happy dance!

I just got my Enbrel from the pharmacy! What has that got to do with sewing you ask? Good question! I should now be able to sew for longer than 15 minutes before I start to hurt...and be able to sew every day instead of every third day! I am SO looking forward to my first injection tomorrow morning...even though it takes a few weeks to take full effect...I can hardly wait!

Now if that dang ruffler would just come in.....

So thrilled for you! I have heard great things about embril. I have just recently been dx'd with RA( to go with my Osteoarthritis Lucky I know!) and just started plaquinil (sp?) a few weeks ago and it takes a few weeks to work and I am still praying it kicks in soon! I am also on prednesone until the RA meds kick in but I hate being on it as much as it helps.
I so get the not being able to sew for that long. On good days I try to get in as much as I can!

I'm curious why you take Enbrel...not being nosey but my husband also takes it so naturally I'm now curious. He has ankylosing spondylitis and, honestly, the medication doesn't help him much. Or maybe it does - the doc told him there was nothing they can do to RESERVE the damage but the Enbrel should prevent it from getting worse. Of course now (18mos later) his back is so sore and stiff all the time he can hardly get up once he's layed down. UGH! Anyhow - just curious to see if we can swap ideas.

May I ask what is ankylosing spondylitis? I have spondylilothesis in my lower back. Thankfully that is in check right now or it is just being superseded by my RA.

I made my first applique! We've always called Ava our little piggy because she was born year of the pig on the Chinese calender (my husband's half Chinese). We're not really into the zodiac stuff, but her Chinese relatives always send her piggy jewelry and things so it kind of caught on. Anyway, so, appropriately, I made her a piggy applique.

I think I'm happy with it, though!


Of course big brother had to pose, too. They can't resist the camera. I actually shot about 30 pics of them this afternoon because once i got them started they kept striking new poses for me, saying "take a picture, now! And now! And take a picture of me doing this!"

Great job! Look how much fun your kids are having! no wonder you took so many pictures.

I have psoriatic arthritis. Was first diagnosed with JA when I was 6. In my 30's I got worse and after several months of tests it ws determined I had PA. In the beginning stages it effects the extremities mainly. It has now progressed to my upper spine.

I started taking Enbrel about 5 or 6 years ago. There was a dramatic difference within a few weeks. Four years ago I lost my job (and the great insurance that came with it) With just my husband's insurnce the co pay was several hundred dollars, so I had to quit taking it.

I have been working with my doctor to get back on it for 6 months! I am so excited to have it again, especially since I only have to have one injection a week instead of two!

I hope it helps your husband as much as it has helped me in the past!

Oh my! Not sure what psoriatic arthritis is but my dr thinks I have actually had juvenile arthritis and it was undiagnosed. So I feeel for you! I am so happy you are about to get some relief! You mentioned shots? What kind of shorts? I ahve had all different kind of shots in my back and knew I just wonder how that would work with my hands... Actually I am about to call to start my Hyalgon shots in my knee soon. Yeah me!

me again, sorry, yes, I'm getting scattered with the trip so close...

...anyone know where I can order a white pettiskirt, FAST?

Have you checked amazon? I ordered Nikki's brown and pink one from there. I think it was a Sams...

I'm impressed! Especially since you just started sewing. My daughter saw this dress up on my screen and she said, "Mulan! Can you make me that?!" So, we think you are doing a great job!

Wow; I can't believe you just started sewing and you did this without a pattern! This is great!!!! You're going to figure out the back, don't worry.

Hey y'all; I have another question: I know, I've got amillion of em. THanks for being so patient with me.

1. I want to make Christmas outfits for all the little cousins (8). I'd love to do them in Dupioni Silk, but haven't worked with it yet. So, my question is- is it a nightmare to work with? and, I was planning to use CarlaC's precious pattern for the 5 dresses and make the boys matching vests (also Carla's, because really, if ya don't have to, why get a different pattern?)

Am I crazy, or will this work? I'm asking early because fabric.com has it on sale today for like $5.99 and I never see it that inexpensive.

I made my DD a Ren Fest dress last year with it. It is not too hard to work with. I helps if you have a serger. $5.99 is a really great price.

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

has anyone bought the pettiskirt slips for sophia's style.com? They are super cheap but I read one review that said they are not nearly as full as the picture makes them appear. I really want some white pettiskirts to go under things I am making for my dd's but can't really afford to spend upwards of $90 to buy two right now.

Thanks! I'm going to order now!

ANOTHER QUICK QUESTION:

Does anyone have a picture of either a stripwork skirt or a shorter princess dress BOTH with and without a petti underneath? My 8yo diva can't quite grasp the concept of what difference it will make.

Thanks!!!

 

[The Real Cinderella]

Hi there everyone,

I hope I'm posting this in the right place, if I'm not please let me know..

I'm looking for somewhere or someone to buy 4 adult sized and one infant sized personalised disney t shirts with some ears on or something. Preferably with a little bit of writing on saying something like

Mummy/Daddy/Grandma/Grandad/Baby name

Walt Disney World 2010
Family Trip

Does anyone know of anywhere or anyone that does this?

We're in the UK if that makes any difference

I have not been in the sewing mood but the bug bit me again two days ago. I made Lauren a Sophie Tunic to match mine (I made mine a few weeks ago):

I made my sister a Patricia tunic also (no model - too big for me to try on and sister lives a few hours away): Lauren wants you to see her hot pink toes!

I loved the fabric in my sisters tunic so I went a bought more to make something for Lauren. I was inspired by Shannon's Chinese doll dress and EPCOT story:

Wrap top and easy fit pants from Youcanmakethis.com

I have one more Patricia tunic to make for my mother before Sunday.
