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

[lovesdumbo]

Thanks for the compliments on the stuff I posted.

I got the balloon fabric at www.fabricsgalore.com Nice quality too! I also got the beach boarder fabric and Buzz there.

I got the idea of the beach tunic from the dress Teresa made using that fabric.





Karen-I have forgotten how old/what size Henry is. The designs on that Buzz fabric are pretty big but I guess you would know that if you already have the fabric. If I were going to use it for a bowling shirt I would probably pick a solid for the placket and collar and do all the rest in the Buzz fabric. I would take the Buzz fabric to a fabric store and see what solid you can match to-I would think you could use blue, orange, yellow, red or black-which ever you could get that matches best. I thought the turquoise bias binding on the dress added a touch of feminine style without being too objectionable to for my tomboy. She'll wear a dress as long as it isn't too girly-no pinks, easy on the ruffles, and no girly polka dots.




Have you guys seen my ticker????? I need to finish packing!!!!

And just to add to the stress my Nikon dSLR is giving me trouble. I thought it was a battery issue but I did a google search and it is either a problem with the memory card or with the camera body itself. I hope it is just a memory card (but I thought it happened with more than 1) and I don't have problems with it on my trip. If I do I'll have to deal with Nikon when I get home as it is still under waranty. I have a point and shoot but I really hope my dSLR works for me on the trip!!!!!

Bling Converse.

This is my first attempt at these. They are far from perfect, but not bad for a first try. I forgot how thick the glue was and it got too thick in spots and there are too many gaps. I think I'm going to use smaller rhinestones next time. Emily has requested these in multiple colors! I made these to go with a Nightmare before Christmas set I'm working on, I'm going to add ribbons as the laces.

Love these shoes...could you tell me what kind of glue did you use?

It wasn't that one - the one I remember seeing (though now I'm wondering if I was imagining it?) had the lines down the pumpkin and a stem and a leaf or two at the stem.

This one?? Someone had posted this saying they were doing it freehand. I don't think I've seen the design anywhere.

Karen-I just thought I would mention that when I did my son's Mickey bowling shirt and used black for the placket I had trouble seeing what I was doing. My vision is much worse now than it was when I was sewing 20 years ago. I never even thought that it would be an issue.

Opinions please everyone, I am starting a stripwork twirl today and not sure what color bias tape to put at the bottom, what would you all do? Thanks everyone !!

I think orange or golden yellow would be perfect! Great fabrics.

Hey, guys, I could use some help! I KNOW I've seen an embroidery machine applique design of the Mickey pumpkin recently for sale. I had the design last year, and I seem to have lost it somehow. I need one! Does anyone remember seeing this design and where? TIA!

I think it might be this one.

Has anyone done "Thing" number shirts (not their faces, just the numbers?) I'm going to have to applique by hand I'm guessing...

You rock!
I've heard her designs stitch out really well. That particular design is going to have a super high stitch count.

Have you seen the simplicity pattern for all the faries? DD has requester rosetta for haloween, and I am using it. It looks pretty authentic and not too hard.

My dd didn't like the one they have for silvermist. We want one that looks more like what she wears at the park.

I have NO idea how/if this will work, but this was all I could find for some sort of glimmery spray. (I couldn't find stuff to make dew drops either.)

http://cgi.ebay.com/*Tattered-Angel...temQQimsxZ20090706?IMSfp=TL090706138006r23977

I also agree that it looks like the Silvermist costume used in the parks is in two pieces. In the last image on this page:

http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_h...alkaround-versions-of-the-disney-fairies.aspx

It looks like the top is one piece with an asymmetrical flouncy bit coming down from the waist on the right side and then the bottom is a skirt with similar asymmetrical tiers. Even if the costume itself isn't actually constructed that way, I see no reason you couldn't elect to do that instead of making it one piece. Looks like it'd be hard to get into and out of if it was in one piece.

Wow, the glitter spray looks cool. I like to scrapbook too, so maybe I should get some. I bet I'd use it sometime. I think I'm going to try to do the dress in two pieces.

I kind of jumped into the middle of the thread here today, but I'm loving all the bright, fun outfits posted recently! I'm also loving all the AG pictures. Megan is almost 10 and just recently developed a love for AG dolls. She got Emily for Christmas and then had a blast with some friends at the AG Boutique in Boston in January. I made all the girls and dolls matching round neck tops.

Megan and Emily

They weren't too excited to get inside!

Here is Emily in the carryall that I made recently. Megan takes her to daycare a few days a week.

I think that round neck top is one of my favorite patterns. I love the picture of all three of them.

here is the autograph book i put in the mail for margaret today.

i was excited i had a set of monster inc stickers to use too, i read on her caringbridge that was one character she liked.

sorry pics are so big

Wow, I would love an autograph book like that. Did you cut all of the cardstock like that?

I made this for the little girl Traci posted about:

And this for my sister:

I am making one for my mom and the fabric has a hole in it! I didn't notice it until I was unpinning the pattern piece. I will see what JoAnn's has to say about it tomorrow (probably too bad, so sad).

I also made Jacob some pj pants but he won't let me take a picture of them. They have weiner dogs all over them and might be "girly." Also he got his haircut and is embarrassed about it. I think it looks great!

That big give is one of the cutest hanna montanna things I've seen. I love the tunic. I bought the pattern, but haven't made anything.

I finished a "minnie mouse" type dress for my dd and wanted to post pictures, but I just took it to my g-mas to show her and I spilled coke on it. I'm worse than the kids. I'll have to wash it again before I can post pictures. I made it with the precious pattern. Thanks to CarlaC all the girls I work with think I'm a superstar. I'll be careful not to show them any of your work here. I need to keep them snowed.

I've been stalking Farbenmix patterns. I only found one place with a vida in stock. I should probably buy it before it's gone like the bitty twins were.

Te

Adi and T-beri- are you out there? T, hows the baby? photos please? would you like my cloth diaper kit for a girl?
adi- how are you feeling?

Hey there!! Thanks for thinking of me. I've been lurking, but haven't been able to get on everyday. We are looking for a house (and are praying we find one that fits our needs/finances/area before the baby arrives). I was feeling pretty crummy this weekend, so I've been resting. I'm just really achy, having some pain down there, and pretty bad heartburn. Things overall are going well though. I passed my glucose test on Friday and had a good appointment - I can't believe I'm 28+ weeks already! She is moving a lot more. In about 4 weeks we'll be doing another round of 3d/4d ultrasound, can't wait to see her. I'm starting to really worry about the birth and getting stressed about not having a home yet. . . trying to take it easy though. .. praying all will fall into place soon.

I would just do the iron on transfers for this one....there are some down on the Creative DISigns board. I think I have 1-4 on my pc if you want I can look.

And just to add to the stress my Nikon dSLR is giving me trouble. I thought it was a battery issue but I did a google search and it is either a problem with the memory card or with the camera body itself. I hope it is just a memory card (but I thought it happened with more than 1) and I don't have problems with it on my trip. If I do I'll have to deal with Nikon when I get home as it is still under waranty. I have a point and shoot but I really hope my dSLR works for me on the trip!!!!!

Is it a CHR or CHA error code? I SURE HOPE NOT!! Mine has done that 3 times now. The owner of our ONLY camera shop in town keeps telling me it's my memory cards but I have now had it happen 3 times on 2 different memory cards. Each time it does this I have to go have the photo files taken off the card at the camera shop b/c I can't transfer them to my computer as usual. The charge for that alone is beginning to add up! The last time (w/ a new card I might add) I lost approx 200 photos from our disney trip in June! I didn't even have a spare card w/ me so I went and bought a new one at walmart. To date, I have not had the code again. If I were you and this is the code you're getting I would buy a BRAND NEW card BEFORE your trip. JUST IN CASE IT TRULY IS THE MEMORY CARD. I would hate for it to error out again and you loose your precious pictures! I lost nearly EVERY single picture from Chef Mickey's. Instead of autograph books for there, my kids had photo mats to have signed and then I was going to put a picture in them for them to hang in their rooms. . . didn't even have a decent shot that got saved worth framing. I was VERY upset! If I get the code again I'm going to insist that the camera guru is WRONG and have it sent back to Nikon. What type camera is yours? Mine is a D70s.

I saw your post. Someone here made some Thing shirts. I think it was jeniamt.
I don't remember if they had thing on it. I think they did.

I like this one. I realize it is Minnie, but isn't she so cute??
I pm'd it to revrob. I thought we weren't supposed to post stuff like that here. I get so confused about all these "rules". This one is on

I've considered it...but I'm thinking of doing 1-5 for our Christmas card this year, and since it's our first with the WHOLE family I really want them to look polished (and I may "Christmas" them out a bit!)

 

[2cutekidz]

Love these shoes...could you tell me what kind of glue did you use?

I used 5mm flatback gems and e-6000 glue. I forgot how thick the glue was and it got too thick in some spots. I'm going to try gem-tac glue and 3mm (which are tiiinny) next time and dab the glue on as I go. They aren't bad for a first time though

Our first grade teachers did with paint. They were all "Things" for Dr. Seuss day. I bet it would be easy to do iron-ons.

Marah, I think doing lettering freehand on the sewing machine would make you go crazy.. I really do.

You are probably right! My ideas always outreach my skills, lol! If you could only see what I have in my head for some dresses.
