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

Hi girls! I've been away for awhile & really need to catch up on everyone's cute stuff!! :thumbsup2 It's been really crazy in our house for the last 6 weeks or so - we lost our chocolate lab at the age of 8. It was very unexpected & he was my first baby, so I'm still dealing with it. :sad1: That was followed with my husband finding out he got cross leveled to another National Guard unit & he is now deploying for a year to the Middle East sometime late this summer. So....we moved our late Sept Disney trip up to early August! :woohoo::scared1: I'm SO not ready.....but, I've been sewing like crazy to get ready!! LOL

Here's some of what I've completed so far - Maddie's dress for Chef Mickey's - my first attempt at applique in a very long time:

A Little Mermaid dress for our DHS day:

And, I finally finished this one yesterday - this McCall's pattern was SUCH a pain after using the great designs on YCMT, but I really wanted to make a few of these onesie/bubble outfits for her since I think they may be cooler in the heat of August. I'm working on another of these now with more Pooh fabric.

Okay first off, let me say I LOVE HEATHERSUE and CARLAC! After spending all week working on the safari outfit that took forever, it was so nice to finish this last night in just a couple hours..... I honestly think the hairbow took me longer then the outfit! It was so nice to be able to stitch out 5 appliques in a very brief amount of time instead of 6 days. I will actually be putting the cupcake one on t-shirts for me, my mom and my sis too!

Here is Taylor's outfit for the Wishes Dessert Party, I will probably put a pink petti under the skirt, but it isn't here yet.

Here is my first attempt at a more boutique hairbow.... it still needs some practice and work, but when it was taking longer then the outfit, I decided to leave it be.

mickeydessertsbow.jpg

I Love this dress & bow!! :thumbsup2

Okay so it's quite obvious to me what I did wrong....but hopefully not to anyone else. Maybe you all will just think I meant to do it that way lol. The appliques is too high up. Anyways, here goes. Action shots hopefully next week when we see Abby.

I think this dress is absolutely beautiful!!! :goodvibes I understand your concern - when I made my first applique in a very long time, I added a Mickey head to a peasant dress & the top of Mickey's ears ending up getting gathered.... :sad2:LOL Nobody else seems to notice it, though, which is good. ;)

LOOK AT MY FABRIC FIND!!!!!!!!!!!!

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

I have been looking for this since it was posted here and finally found it. It is not blue like I wanted, it is the pink print but I am so freaking excited. I got 2 yards of it. (now I just have to decide what to make) I can't wait to see Roseanna in that fabric on Main Street! It will be so hard to cut into. I am thinking maybe a Vida with some appliques of castle and rides, but I am not sure. I really need to think this one out so it is perfect!

That fabric is awesome!!!


My Mom love her. Threw a surprise Birthday party for Megan yesterday. Megan theought even thought it was her birthday we were just going to pick up her sisters which had been vacationing at grandmas for a few days. Then I told her we were comming back home. My mom thought of everything even hula outfits for the girls. And a hawaiian theam cake. I thought I would share them with all of you.

So sorry about your puppy! I know that had to be so hard. Sorry about DH going too...glad you get to still have your trip...and early! All of the outfits look so pretty!

In your siggy...is that Jacob's Field...it will always be Jacob's for me...my baby's middle name is Jacob...yes, it was that or Woody after Woody Hayes...I took Jacob!:lmao:
 
I have the singer futura 150. I use it for sewing and embroidering. I LOVE it! It is very user friendly and I like that it has USB hookup so I can just download any design off of the internet!

Do you have to buy software to be able to buy and download designs from the internet or is it ready to go when you buy the machine? I want an embroidery machine so bad and I was looking at the brother one but it is SO expensive!!!! Maybe I need to check this one out!:rotfl:

I am SO sorry to hear about your choco lab!
Congrats on the early trip, but hope your husband stays safe over seas.
These outfits are adorable- but the baby makes the outfit.
i love the bubble outfit and want to make some for Hannah too. I just need to find the time to sew everything in my head!
I especially love the Pooh and Eyore fabric, where DID you find it??? So cute for Crystal Palace I'm thinking!


Emcreative, I hope she is safe. Im probably an hour and half from her if she needs something, will PM you for her email addy, she's welcome at my home.

I have the Singer Futura 200 which I think is just about the same as the 150. It has a USB cable that connects your machine to your computer and buying and using designs off the internet is very easy. You don't need to buy anything additional.

No software required! It hooks directly to your computer.

Great job on the outfits! That baby is just soooo PRECIOUS! I just want to squeeze her!LOL So sorry to hear about your pooch and your hubby!:hug:
 
For those that have PED Basic or are thinking of buying--I would be lost without it. Here are the basics of how it works: Once you have the software loaded you are ready to go. Plug the card reader into your USB port and put the card in it. At the top you can change the settings for hoop size to go with your machine. Right below that is a "button" that looks like a folder when you click on that you will have access to get your designs from where they are stored, either in your computer or on a CD or flash drive. The screen has 2 sides the left side shows the designs that are in a particular folder you have open and the right side is where you will be transferring the designs to put on your card. So all you do is highlight the design you want on the left and click the little arrow in the middle of the screen and it will show up on the right, when you are done selecting designs there is a "bar" at the bottom right you click and it will tell you it is transferring the designs to your card. Hope that helps anyone who needed it.


WENDY--First I just want to Thank You and your family for doing Camp Promise, even though I don't know much about it, as a mother of a severly disabled daughter I am glad there are people like you to help. I am particularly impressed with your kids, there are not many young adults who would take that on. Second, I also have the same Brother machine and recently bought digitizing software, if you want more info. you can PM me. I haven't used it as much as I would like but I do like it.

MIRANDA--I love Taylor's dessert outfit, my 7 year old came in when the pic. was up and of course wants it.

Thanks Karen...I got Kit in a bundle last year and it was a great deal. $115 including shipping and she came to two additional outfits and her dog.
 
Ugh. I had my post all typed up and it wouldn't let me post it!

I just finished this dress tonight. Peach had no clue I was making it. Its very special and dear to my heart. My uncle said this is the last fabric my aunt was sewing with (she made herself a button down shirt) before she passed away a few years ago. Georgia just loved this fabric. Its very light and breezy. She is going to love it. Hopefully she will model it for me before her dad gets her for a last minute over night weekend. (ugh.. another long vent)

071102422.jpg


We are both finally feeling better. hopefully being at her dad's wont make her mood change too bad. Last time she talked to him on the phone which was nearly two weeks ago now, he said He didn't know when the next time he would see her was and he would call her sunday, well sunday was two sundays ago!!! She said to me the other day.. "Mommy, why doesn't my daddy call me, doesn't he love me anymore?" UGh

Well off to catch up and go to bed for me.
What a sweet dress and it's going to mean so much to her! Sorry that her father isn't being a REAL dad. =(
What do you all think? Does this need a black sash or something? It seems busy to me or is it ok???
100_1973.jpg
100_1972.jpg

I think a yellow sash would look super!

I finished Taylor's outfit for the Tusker House breakfast against all odds. I swear I about threw it out the windor at least 50 times. I had to completly redo the mickey and minnie appliques 12 times, I got so completly close to finishing them and something would mess up....


Safari1.jpg

Wow, this really is so fantastic! Great job!

Miranda, you've outdone yourself on the safari outfit. Every one you make gets better!!!!

Okay ladies and Tom, I was reading on another thread about someone's stroller getting taken "by accident" while they were on a ride because the other family had the same exact one. They did obviously get their own stroller back later that evening, but I've been trying to brainstorm ways to really identify "our" stroller. The trick being, of course, it would have to be something non-permanent as we're in a stroller swap. So I thought I'd share what I came up with in case anyone else has similar concerns!

I got those foam sheets and made this sign (Please excuse the still wet glue. I had to do some creative editing on names, of course. The white is the sign, the black on the edges is the leather chair it's sitting on). I used a hole punch in the corners, and I'll tie it onto the handles of the stroller with ribbon:

strollersign.jpg


Who knows, maybe it will work, maybe it won't. I used the foam instead of just making a posterboard sign because in my head I thought it might be less apt to rip or run/fall apart if it rains!

OOOH what a cute idea, I might have to CASE you! :thumbsup2

Had my 3D/4D today. . . here she is (still saying it is a girl, yeay! I check everytime, lol).

Sorry it is so many, I got a CD with over 100 pictures, and it was hard enough to narrow tit down to this!



20090711125347609.jpg


20090711125441484.jpg

So sweet, 3Ds are so fun!







My husbnand takes much better pix than me, ill see if you can take some tomorrow- these really dont show the colors well at all

WOW this is truly amazing, love it!

Thanks to all of you I made my first dress ever last weekend and posted it earlier in the week. In case you missed it I had not touched a sewing machine since middle school. Thanks again for all of the kind comments on it! Since then, I made a second pillowcase dress for my niece and I made a scaled down version of my first pillowcase dress for DD's AG doll. Here is a photo of them in their matching dresses at a tea party today. I have a long way to go and will never be able to do the complicated things you guys do but DD is very happy so far.

IMG_0796.jpg

Your dd and her American Girl look adorable in their matching dresses!

Yesterday I took Jenna and my niece Renee to the zoo. We had a blast even though it was super hot and we were drenched in sweat by the time we got out of the zoo. I guess we got there at a good time because we saw tons of animals. The only ones we didn't get to see were the bears and that is the one that the girls really wanted to see. Oh well. Maybe next time. Here are the dresses that I made for the girls. Of course they had to match.

S2010297.jpg
What a cute outfit for the zoo. =)
My Mom love her. Threw a surprise Birthday party for Megan yesterday. Megan theought even thought it was her birthday we were just going to pick up her sisters which had been vacationing at grandmas for a few days. Then I told her we were comming back home. My mom thought of everything even hula outfits for the girls. And a hawaiian theam cake. I thought I would share them with all of you.

Looks like a great party, and love the fountain!
 
Oh I'm so glad my HannahDiva isn't here to see the Dessert outfit, she'd want one for when we go...it's AWESOME!

So what do y'all do if you change your kid halfway through the day (or with Littles like ours, have to have backup clothes)? Do you put them in a backpack and take them on the rides and everything with you? Do you get a locker? Do you leave them in the bottom of the stroller when you're on a ride and hope for the best? I'm asking for those times when it isn't practical to go back to the resort.

Oh! And while I was out today I took a picture of the "Minnie/Mickey" girls shoes they now have a Payless for $5 in case anyone is interested. They aren't the best pics but I took them with my cell phone!

dotshoes.jpg

I used to just leave it in the diaper bag on the stroller. No one ever bothered anything. I didn't leave anything of value on it. Except once. I was so po'd at the camcorder that I just threw it underneath on the net. It was still there when we got off the ride. Or someone took it and brought it back when they found out it was broken. :lmao:

ugh...so here is my attempt at a real dress (I made a pillow case dress previously) this came out horribly, but that's OK, it was my frist go round at it. I can't seem to figure out how to sew the skirt on to the bodice correctly. My sewing is a real mess...IDK guess I have to keep trying. I didn't buy the apron pattern yet so I just sorta cut out an apron from some scrap fabric to see if it would actually look alright once I made a real one. as long as I can hide the seems and hem the dress, it might actually not be so bad. it's nothing like you ladies sew though...I don't know how you all make such gorgeous things. here is my DD in the dress.....she did say she looked like Cinderella though so that made mommy feel really good! LOL (oh yeah, it's supposed to be cindy's work dress if you couldn't figure it out)

027.jpg

I could easily tell it was Cindy's work dress. It came out great.

How do you join groups like that?

Hi girls!

Hi Everyone!!

Beautiful creations just in the past few pages - I dont know if I can bear to go back 120 pages to review it all

We had a great trip to Camp Promise - the campers were wonderful! We are totally exhausted and I am hating the idea of getting back to real life!! Here are a few pictures to share with you all....

This was our 5th year going - Matt and Bekah have come with us all 5 years!

We only have one child, so it's not too cumbersome to carry one extra outfit. We keep it in a large ziploc in our backpack, which is usually thrown in our stroller's basket. I also try to bring an extra shirt for myself since she's thrown up on me way more than once. ;)

And, I finally finished this one yesterday - this McCall's pattern was SUCH a pain after using the great designs on YCMT, but I really wanted to make a few of these onesie/bubble outfits for her since I think they may be cooler in the heat of August. I'm working on another of these now with more Pooh fabric.

Thanks for looking! :)

They all look great (plus your dd is precious!) and I love the Eeyore fabric.
 
And yes, I'm double posting! I've updated my pre trip report, but more exciting than that, my MOM joined the boards so that she could also post on it! So if anyone'd like to help welcome her, she's only posted on the PTR so far. :goodvibes
 
I found a Singer CE-200 Quantum Futura on craigslist for $500. Is this a good deal? Does anyone have this machine? How do you like it? WOuld I be able to use designs from the internet? Like heather's designs? I want to be able to do simple designs and names and stuff. Please give me advice!
 
I finally finished all 7 tees and 2 patchwork twirls for our first day at the MK!

Best custom photo ever!!!!


I finished Taylor's outfit for the Tusker House breakfast against all odds. I swear I about threw it out the windor at least 50 times. I had to completly redo the mickey and minnie appliques 12 times, I got so completly close to finishing them and something would mess up..... I never could get the black outline to look right around parts of the face, I finally gave up on the embroidery machine and did the black outline on the face by hand (well with my regular sewing machine).... so they don't look great. Donald's eyes should probably be a lighter blue so they don't blend so much with the black, but I didn't want to do it over again. I had several problems with the shirt and had to redo it a little. It wasn't that bad, but I am spoiled by all of Carla's pictures, and with far less pictures it took me a min to understand what I was suppose to do. It was also my first time doing buttons, so I needed to practice for awhile.

Anyhow here is the outfit all done, I think I am going to add a pettiskirt.....Ignore the crooked hair, she wouldn't let me fix it much today..... I am not done with the hairbows either, they will be bigger and have other ribbon.... I will use this mickey ribbon as the base, but I will add some other animal prints.

Get ready for far too many pictures of Taylor, she was loving getting her picture taken today.

I am still trying to decide if I want to move the buttons a little so it will be slightly less open.

I love this one. I am not an Animal Kingdom fan but between this dress and the Jungle Book dress I am tempted!!!


Okay first off, let me say I LOVE HEATHERSUE and CARLAC! After spending all week working on the safari outfit that took forever, it was so nice to finish this last night in just a couple hours..... I honestly think the hairbow took me longer then the outfit! It was so nice to be able to stitch out 5 appliques in a very brief amount of time instead of 6 days. I will actually be putting the cupcake one on t-shirts for me, my mom and my sis too!

Here is Taylor's outfit for the Wishes Dessert Party, I will probably put a pink petti under the skirt, but it isn't here yet.

This is really cute! We are going to the dessert party also. The girls may be wearing their Villains sets that night but I was thinking of doing cupcake dessert eating shirts! LOL

Thanks! I got the ribbon from ebay... you can PM me if you want the sellers name. The ribbon actually inspired the outfit.... I bought the ribbon and then really wanted appliques to match. Heather was awesome and came up with the appliques for me.

Can you pm me the seller as well! Thanks!

WOW you people are BUSY!LOl I can't keep up!

Mirandag819-LOVE LOVE LOVE the dessert outfit! Soo cute!

I know there were others, but I just skimmed to try and catch up! I have been working on sets for our trip in October and did almost finished the Tink set. I just need to attach Tink to the tank.

The colors are fantastic. Where did you get the orange flower print? I never thought about that color combo for Tink. I hope you don't mind if I run with it too. :)

Hi girls! I've been away for awhile & really need to catch up on everyone's cute stuff!! :thumbsup2 It's been really crazy in our house for the last 6 weeks or so - we lost our chocolate lab at the age of 8. It was very unexpected & he was my first baby, so I'm still dealing with it. :sad1: That was followed with my husband finding out he got cross leveled to another National Guard unit & he is now deploying for a year to the Middle East sometime late this summer. So....we moved our late Sept Disney trip up to early August! :woohoo::scared1: I'm SO not ready.....but, I've been sewing like crazy to get ready!! LOL

Here's some of what I've completed so far - Maddie's dress for Chef Mickey's - my first attempt at applique in a very long time:
