Disboutiquers Part 16 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[pixeegrl]

Okay, while I was in photobucket I uploaded photos of Lily's revised Hula Hut outfit. I ended up not liking the first top I made to go with these pants so I made the Emma swing top and I like it much better! Like Lisa I'm hoping to figure out how to get the back to overlap a bit and not be so open, unless she wants to make a tutorial for that And I don't know why I keep taking photos by that corner of the wall where Luke crashed into the baseboards with the vacuum and it got put back together but the paint did not get touched up...I know you noticed.

I give up. I resized those photos, I swear.

I like it the way it is and I LOVE the fabric but...
Could you extend the back panels and overlap them a bit, kind of criss-crossing the straps?

Hey Ladies & Tom.....

I was wondering if I could ask all of you to say a prayer for a friend of mine. If you've seen me on Facebook, you may have seen my status already.

Anyways.....her name is Keri Cain and a couple of days ago she had a heart attack and had to have quadruple bypass surgery. They were having trouble with her blood pressure yesterday and I received word this morning that she had taken a turn for the worse and she was going into another surgery today. They are preparing her for an artificial heart. She is only 34 years old and has two small children -- a boy 4 years old and an 8 month old baby girl. This girl was in good shape and is a nurse. I just cannot believe that this is happening to someone so young.

Please, please pray for my friend!

Thanks!

Prayers being sent up.

I have seriously considered trying to set up a co-op...I have wholesale accts with a about 5 different distributors. Today I was looking at one of the websites and I found the various colors of Minnie-Dot we have all loved from JoAnn, even the yellow.

Here are the ones I found:

I would love to have a bolt of everyone of them....especially the yellow & the multi color dot. I would order if there was any interest from others.

I would love to go in on a buy for some yardage. I have bought a ton from fabric obsession (new member) and the Yahoo group one

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Which software do you have and which one do you like the best? Embird or the Brother software? Does Brother work with Embird and vice versa?

Thanks friends, I knew I could count on all of you for help.

I am at work...again...my house is a mess but I am at my job instead.

Well, I've been working away at my first pink/blue Aurora. It's almost done. It's not grabbing me, but I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun at the park. I guess I'm just thinking it's a bit too "court jester-ish"......

Of course it doesn't help that I chose to use Simplicity 9384. I've only done that one 3 or 4 times before, and I forgot how much I hate that pattern.....

Anyway, here's how it looks:

I think it looks JUST like the one from the picture in the Disneyland window! I love it!!

I've seen beads and jewelry on etsy for very reasonable prices, but I just went ahead and bought a set of colored clay to make my own beads. Once I get fabric I'll just do beads to coordinate with what I choose. I'm not sure I'll be able to make some of the fancy princess beads, but I'm pretty sure I can manage to make a Mickey head for bracelets and coordinating ones for hair bows and the like.

On etsy candylandbeads is really good.

Okay, so after two test bodices (I just took measurements off of something that fits my daughter well instead of using a pattern, so I wanted to make sure it was right) and two do-overs on the leaves at the bottom of the shirt (finally decided on a rolled hem because everything else was too bunchy) I have at last finished my daughter's Tinkerbell set for her to wear when we visit the fairies next week. (And I was cutting it close! We fly out on Friday!)

A few pics of my pixie:

Full view:

Closeup of the leaf hem and detail on the shorts hem:

I did that dang rolled hem with an iron, a regular sewing machine, and my two bare hands! I really need a serger!

Obligatory Tinkerbell impression picture:

I am SO glad I got this done and I hope we can run fast at Toontown rope drop in a few days so we don't have to wait too long until my girl can meet Tink! I plan to pick her up and carry her, running, to the Meet-the-Fairies line. If that doesn't get me there with a wait of less than 90 minutes, then I'm not sure what would have!

Oh my goodness if you dd does not look like Tink I am not sure who does! Keep in mind they open Toon Town around 9:45 now.

Anyway, here's how it looks:

Your dress is beautiful. I have to say I am in the middle of three blue/pink Sleeping Beauty dresses. I sent one off yesterday. I told her if I ever saw another pink/blue dress it would be too soon!!!

I have to finish up my girls tonight. Then it will be a while before I tackle anything having to do with Sleeping Beauty! LOL

The Frankenstein outfits from Disneylovinfamily are way cool!! I want one of those hats for myself!!

 

[mom2prettyprincess]

These are adorable!!

Before I'm willing to to sign up for a co-op - could you please verify that the fabric that you were questioned about in the fabric swap thread has or has not been shipped? Another member had posted a question to you regarding whether or not you had shipped fabric that you had promised over a month ago. You have not answer that question on the thread. It causes me to wonder whether or not I would want to order fabric from someone that may or may not follow through on the deal. I certainly don't want to invest in fabric and never receive what I've paid for.

I can certainly understand your concern. And to answer your question yes I have sent my fabric from the swap I think you are talking about. I didn't realize that was even on the swap board, I will have to go check it out and answer it over there.

I'd be interested depending on the cost - because you can get blts of that at Joann's with 40% off coupons. . . so depending on that I would be interested.

I was thinking the same thing myself. That is why I have the email into the district sales person for the updated price list and will figure that out and let everyone know. I know some do not have JA in their area so for some it might be worth it for others it may not.

I saw the post about the co-op price for cutting fees & shipping to the co-op leader. I think if was just us going in on the buy it wouldn't be like some of the others I have seen. I know of one that is an extra $1.75 a yard for shipping to the leader & their "cutting fee".

That is really awesome! That is sure to be a hit.

Just out of curiosity, which pattern do you use??? I think I'm swearing off of this one for a while! I'm tearing parts of it apart right now trying to get it to hang evenly at the same length all the way around.

I love the way the full circle skirt with the horsehair braid hangs, but all I'm thinking is "never again!"

I'd love to see a picture of your pink/blue dresses!

I guess my timing is good. You said if you never see one again it's too soon.... and here's mine...........

I would love to get the minnie dot in multiple colors. Even just to have..it's so hard to find fabric around here.

I've been trying to catch up..I go away for a girl's weekend and you move! LOL. I had way to much to catch up on!

Oooh, does that mean you mailed me the pirate fabric? I have not received it yet so let me know when it was mailed.

My dress was more of a SB inspired whimsical dress. The little girl I made it for Mom is a Diser so I am sure she will post pics at some point. My daughters dresses are more summery. I used one of the Simplicity patterns for parts. The dress was a Frankenpattern completely. I will have to check and see.
