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

[Eyore4Ever149]

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...........

So which pattern for Sleeping Beauty do you like the best? Im curious since you ahve made so many.
I love your pink/blue dress- I think its perfect for Halloween. DD was just watching the movie and I noticed she is wearing the blue dress a lot more than the pink- so how did she become known for the pink one??

this must be on everyones mind as I have been looking for a pink/blue SB in a more everyday wear version , or maybe pink with "splotches" of blue....

Aimeeg Id love to see your dresses too!

so tired today, baby Hannah (what we call her around here) decided to skip her long sleep from 10-3 and was up every 2 hours or less last night. So no sewing for me today- I make too many mistakes.

I was thinking of doing the precious dress for Hannah for her 'baby dedication" I have some eyelet in white and blue that it might be pretty in. I did it in a size 1 I think, but this would be a size 3 months (size 0)- I dont know HOW I will manage the cuff on the edge of the sleeve, they will be so tiny. for the size 1 the cuffs were still small.

Has anyone done the Emma pattern by Modkids? If so, please post photos, Im trying to decide if I want to buy this pattern...

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.

Sounds cool and yes, I'd love to see pics! And I certainly understand on the "frankenpattern" thing.....

I was just looking for someone to commiserate with me on 9384........

There are really only 2 patterns I have seen with a pretty authentic Sleeping Beauty. The pink/blue one I just did was Simplicity 9384. It's a handful, but the skirt is a full circle, very pretty and SO fun to twirl in.... but a pain in the you know what to make!! It has 16 pieces, each of which is backed with lining, and edged and hand hemmed with horsehair braid. That's what gives the bottom it nice flowing quality, so it does more than just hang there...

The other one is Simplicity 5835. It has a nice skirt, but not a full circle. Not nearly as challenging as the other.......

I think we all imagine her in her pink because that's what someone at Disney decided they should market many years ago!!!

And sorry the baby isn't napping. I feel for you. But you are wise to know when to step away from the sewing...... I do that every now and them, despite the pile of work waiting for me. Sometimes you can just do more harm than good!!!

I have used that one before. I made this with the top. I ended up having to do major alterations because it was ginormus!!!

This time around I used the "Easy" pattern since I only need bits of it.

I was thinking of making one for baby Isabel for when she gets her baby blessing at church (we also don't baptize baby's). I haven't made the dress AT ALL yet. . . but I was thinking maybe to use bias tape for the cuff of the sleeve - do you think that would work?? I also have to decide what fabric to use, but I have a list of to-do stuff for the baby that I have to get done before I go and buy any more fabric.

Introducing Evangeline!
This is the first of our new Disney wardrobe for young Miss Evangeline. SHe is wearing a flowing summery Simply Sweet halter with a fuller double layer twirly skirt in classic Mickey & Minnie colors. And to showcase her new dress she got to wear her sisters petti (safety pinned to a smaller size until hers gets here.) --Well, It;s not perfect but Evie sure loves it so I am happy. Hopefully Joci & Juliet will love theirs too when I get them finished.
Thanks for looking. - Here are too many Evie's.....

(she was excited to wear the petti!)

very cute!!!!

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

I was going to rouch? it but I could not get my serger to do the rolled hem correctly no matter what the book said to do so I folded the fabric in half, zigzagged over the edge to finifh it and sew it together then ironed it flat so the seam was in the middle of the back and hand ruffled it when I pinned it to the skirt and attached it to the botom of the skirt. Th top layer of the skirt should be gathered more over Mickey's Head but it is ok. Or I should have put Mickey a little farther down.
Tahnks for the compliments!

I love the look on her face. Very pretty and I like the bottom ruffle also. Great job.

I just can't keep up with you all!

Here is my 2 cents about c-ops or swaps. Not that you asked for it but that has never stopped me before!
I would be VERY careful with them I ahve heard too many cases of things gone bad and never receiving what they where promised! Mainly some one is trusting and sends out the fabric they said they would swap and they KNOW the other person got it. Then that other person NEVER send what they promised. Which to me is stealing but hey that is my opinion. that is just NOT right. I have also heard to cases where every one send the money to get the fabric in a co op and the fabric NEVER comes. Once again stealing. No cool!
So for these reasons I won't do it. Sadly there are far too many people in this world who can't be trusted. Now if you know the person and really trust them then go for it. But i can only think of a handful of people I would swp with. Then again I am not a trusting person..

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.

Ouch! having read these posts and the few others, I'm beginning to feel a little leary about fabric co-ops. Even if things are ok and all is well, I think that rather then go through all the anxiety of a co-op, I'll just wait for sales to come along. You guys know me and my quirky ways.....I'd be so full of anxiety over all this that you'd be visitng me in the nut house! And that just can't happen because there are no fanny packs allowed and they take away the pink feather boas there.... (not that I know this first hand... it's just wild rumor!! LOL)

Also- for those thinking about building their own co-op from Disboutiquers: If you're seriously thinking about doing this, rather then trying to add one more thing onto this thread- it'd be a good idea (just like for the fabric swap) to start a seperate thread about it. GOOD LUCK IF YOU GO AHEAD WITH IT! Hope it works out for all of you!

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 for your friend and Noah being said.

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 this is turning out cute! Love your stuff!

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 be interested in this, depending on the price.

Everyone is amazing and I want to thank you for giving me the inspiration and motivation to figure out how to sew. I had a working knowledge because my Mother and Grandmother have always sewn. I just never picked it up. I have had a machine in my cabinet for close to 10 yrs that I rarely used.

Here are a couple things that I had taken pics of. I have also made a an outfit for my DD and a couple pillow case shirts that I do not have pics of yet.




this is actually like a skort (it looks like a skirt in the front but shorts in the back). Just can't really tell in the pics.

I am also going to make one of these for my DD friend whose birthday is next week and is going to Disney for really the first time. The last time she went she was a baby.

Thanks for looking!!!!

Great job! I love that mickey ribbon!

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!

Love it!

I am so excited! I know I've mentioned it several times, but I finally pulled the trigger today and bought the embroidery machine! I got the Brother PE 750D! Woohoo! Now if I can just figure out how to use it................... One of my neighbors wants some fabric embroidered with her daughter's name on it so she can make her a nap mat for preschool so I think that will be my first project!

I'm so jealous!! I've just started to think about getting one after my sil got one last weekend. I'm so jealous!! I just can't justify the cost, I wish they weren't so expensive.
