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

Update: I wanted to let everyone know we got our camcorder back today. I had it shipped to my mom so it's still there but Canon received it last Tuesday and had it done and shipped back by today. I would say that's awesome customer service. So we'll have it for our trip!:banana::banana::banana:

Woohoo! I accomplished my first multi-quote!
Wow! Good to know they are fast. I need to mail mine off, but they wanted 150 up front. I don't know if my camera is worth that much!
Congrats on your first multi :yay:

THat is so pretty! I love provincial Belle!
What is that on her ankle? Is it just some bracelets? She looks like she knows how to accessorize. ;)

I get really nasty & pouty if I get outbid on something I really want. I also get into trouble sometimes making sure I win what I want. I tell you, it is a sickness!
Yes... I understand. I have to win when I begin to bid.
I use Kaufman's Kona Cotton in Flesh for mine. It's the best color I've found for this.

BTW - I won't say I'm sorry for the BIN since I'm sure that seller needs the money. :rolleyes1 However, if I were you I wouldn't give up on the idea of the dress. Oh, and it's OK to pout from time to time. Just don't tell Zoe I said that. ;)



Can you infect a few more people with that 'sickness'? :rotfl::lmao::cool1: I was pretty much 'cured' early in my experience of bidding. I spent too much for Disney Pins that now just sit in bags. After I got caught up in the adrenaline rush of bidding at the last second (and too often more than I should have), I learned to place my bid for the maximum I was comfortable spending and then leaving the computer until after the end so I wasn't tempted to bid again.
I wish I would do that.. I always have to go back and check to see if just one more dollar would help me win though. lol
Thanks for the tip on the flesh color. I haven't found a color I have liked. I'll try to find some.
I'm off to your ebay page to see if I can find pictures of this dress everyone is talking about. I think I must have seen it before, but can't remember.


Congrats! Isn't it fun? I love Feliz.
Love your Mine bird dress. How cute!

I have a small ottlight I use for scrapbooking. I never thought it use it for sewing, duh!

Megan told him all the the girls will want to be his friend with his new haircut and he rolled his eyes. He told her he was too young to like girls. Mom says good, lol!
Omgosh.. I have 3 ottlites. I use them constantly for sewing. I have a big one that is a standing one that is by my recliner for when I smock. I have one for travelling purposes, and one that I keep next to my sewing machine/ serger at all times. It helps me be able to see what I am doing.
I love them!
He looks cute in those jammies. Thank goodness he is too young to like girls!

The closest Cheesecake Factory is at The Galleria. Downtown we now have a House of Blues (one of my favorites!!) If you'd like some restaurant suggestions let me know.




I know this topic has been discussed before, sorry I didn't take notes then, but I want to get a dress form (toddler size) - any suggestions on where to buy? And what's a good size to get - my DD is in size 18-24 months, so I don't want something too big that the outfits won't fit, but I also don't want to re-buy one everytime she grows.

We have a HOB in New Orleans. I have never eaten there. I have been to many concerts there though. Didn't know they have good food.
Have you seen my wooden dress hanger? Alot of people get those because tehre really isn't a size to them. It really is just a hanger with a stick on it for taking pictures though. If you want it for fitting it wouldn't work.
Love the fishie dress. I love the clownfish fabric!
So I'm making a little progress on the skirt pattern testing as time allows. Here's the most recent version (actually I made it more than a month ago but finally had time to get photos edited). I'm really happy with how it came out - so much that I actually made a top to complete the set. :rotfl: The only thing I'm not so happy about is that the princess fabric I used in the skirt doesn't really show much once I added the extra 'frills'. Oh well, that was a lucky find in the remnant bin.

OK, back to trying to find a way to feel cooler. We're currently in the middle of what's predicted to be a string of record highs for the next several days. :headache: I don't do well in the heat... and we have no air conditioning so sewing is mostly done in the morning or at night if things cool off enough.
Wow! It is beautiful! Would you mind posting a close up of Aurora when you get a chance? I love seeing how detailed your faces are.
I can't believe you can survive without A/C. Shannon and I were without A/C one night in Arlington for market. I definitely think we would have ended up in a hotel the next night if those nice people hadn't fixed it the next day.


So... I was watching the Bachelorette and Ed was about to come out, and boom my DirectTV goes out. I was soooo upset! Now I have to wait for ABC to put the show up on their website. I think it takes a week. boohoo!
 
That came out so cute! You definitely are a serious contender for the 'butt ruffle' hall of fame. :rotfl:











You like me, you really like me... said in my best Sally Field's voice. :cloud9: :love:

Okay, not only am i waiting patiently for the skirt directions, I MUST know how to make that top. LOVE IT! :love: Any suggestions????
Thanks!
 
Thank you Stephres that is kinda what I was thinking (adding the pink in the middle too)Now I need to figure out what to do with the bottom of it.. I am not sure if I want to do a pink ruffle,white tulle with pink ribbon, or nothing at all .. LOL I just can not make up my mind to safe my life.. :scared1: :rotfl2:
 
Love Jacob's haircut! It reminds me of Luke's :love:

Yes! That's why I think I like it so much; he looks like a little boy again. Of course I can't tell him that. Isn't it funny how Luke and Jacob look alike and they are both sweeties?


I always forget buttons and stuff like that too. I'm so glad you got it figured out: it's cute! Love the fishy fabric.


Now I don't like the rolled hem look but I love this! It looks really sharp and neat. Of course the whole thing is gorgeous.

I get so mad when I am hot while I am trying to sew. You can't pick up anything; thread, needles, pins, etc. when your hands are sweaty! Hope it cools down soon.


That is such a pretty dress and your daughter looks like she is shining in it: good job!

Good job. Wish I could be your sister. I only have brothers, and the only thing they ever give me is a pain in the but. :rotfl2:

That is cute. Good thing he is still too young to like girls, cause he is a little looker. ;)

Well my sister is a pain in the butt too, but I love her! :lmao:

Aw, thanks! He asked me to smell his armpit yesterday: he was excited to wear his new deodorant. :thumbsup2

Omgosh.. I have 3 ottlites. I use them constantly for sewing. I have a big one that is a standing one that is by my recliner for when I smock. I have one for travelling purposes, and one that I keep next to my sewing machine/ serger at all times. It helps me be able to see what I am doing.

I have the little one and would love a larger one. My mom has a great big one in her sewing room. It is really great for figuring out what color something REALLY is, lol.

Thanks!

I think it would be so cute with pink tulle, but a pink ruffle would be sweet too. I think anything cute and pink on a girl would be fine, lol! I have such trouble making up my mind about stuff too. And if there are two fabrics I want to use, forget it! How much of one and how much of the other? Do they really match? Would ribbons or other embellishments be too distracting? See, I am no help at all! :rotfl2:
 

**Has anyone been to Disney at Christmastime and have pictures of what the princesses wear then?**
 
I have a small ottlight I use for scrapbooking. I never thought it use it for sewing, duh!

And get packing, will you? ;)



Megan says, that is so cute! And we have that nemo fabric. And that orange fabric with dots. I see her little mind spinning. I love the seagulls too, they're my favorites.

Here is the reluctant model in his pjs and the shirts Heather made for him::

Well...you must be younger than me and not need to use the ott lite for sewing.;)

What a handsome young man! The pants are not girly!


And thanks to everyone that offered help on the Emma Top. I took another look at the pattern pieces (first pic I posted) and the size 1-2 was bigger on the bottom section than some of the bigger sizes. So I just made it work! I'm missing the buttons (don't know why I can't remember those when I'm at JoAnns), but here it is...

does anyone have any pictures of Disney ears that they did anything to? I know that I saw picture on here b4 but now can't find it:surfweb:

Finished DD MNSSHP jumper.

This is the daytime view. Thanks Heathersue.

& just flip it over for MNSSHP at night.

No more outfits. I think. I need to finish bloomers & hair bows before Sept 29th. Anything else that I find time to make is bonus.
 
There was enough fabric left over that I also made a top and shorts. I'm not sure why there was so much fabric left as there was only suppose to be enough for a top (in the style of the dress) and capri pants, but my niece decided she wanted a dress.

IMG_1807.jpg


I have material to make a Rosetta costume, but I am waiting for the pattern to go on sale. I'm getting close to finishing-as long as I stay away from Fabricland (so I don't find something else to make).
 
I made my youngest DD(6) a couple of things for our trip Wednesday. Here's a simple little Buzz sundress:
DSC00108.jpg


And a Dug (Up) Vida. It is growing on me. I need to do more applique so I can get better and be happy with the results. Emma LOVES it so that is what really matters!
DSC00103.jpg



I really like the buttons for the eyes. I think the eyes might be a bit too close but Emma says to leave it as it is. I got the image from a coloring book and he had his eyes closed in the picture so placement was a bit tough. I also really love the balloon fabric-got that on fabricsgalore-got the Buzz there too.
DSC00104.jpg



Very cute! Great job on the applique!


I love your tunics and Up Vida!!! Really cute! Did you use the Carla pattern for the tunic??? I love the one with the beach scene at the hem! Great job!!!




***************************************************
I've been MIA cause I am working on animal kingdom outfits. I have a bunch (think 15!!) of machine appliques each of which take a few hours to complete. They are from Stitch on Time and they are really stitching out well! I am so relieved cause I don't have back-up supplies/tees. I even went and got a few more last night! I am hoping to finish the appliques and possibly the skirts today. Meanwhile my laundry and housecleaning is piling up .



I also have some big news to announce I think I will do that in my blog though so look for an update there sometime today!!! :yay:

Okay, did I miss your news? I checed on your blog and didn't see anything? Stop teasing! ;)

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 !!:)

What about white?

I FOUND DR SEUSS FABRIC! SORT OF....
Found these cute scrubs. Ordered a 3XL for $21. Still high but cheaper than :wizard: Here's a link!

Thanks for sharing! I keep considering buying the Pottery Barn sheet set to cut up but I know my DH will kill me!


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.

Good luck with finding a house! I'm sure it will all work out! And the birth thing, it's a piece of cake! Just get the drugs! :rotfl: No seriously, get the drugs. I got an epidural for all three babies but it wore off completely for the delivery of my first one. The next two my epidural worked the whole time and it was much easier. The first one wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be but the second and third were a walk in the park!

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 :)

I SO want to try this! Does anyone know how to do the designs on them? I love the ones I see on :wizard: and etsy but cannot pay $120 for shoes for each of my girls!

Hey everyone!!! So, I've been off of the DIS for a LONG time! I'll be shocked if anyone remembers me! :rotfl2: I've been keeping up with lots of you on facebook, but it's not the same! Hopefully, one of these days, I'll have time to properly catch up and hang out here more often! I just got a new job as a school nurse in a nearby school district, so I'm excited about that and hope it will allow me more DIS time and more importantly, more sewing time!! Plus, summers off sound kinda nice!

So the real reason I'm posting, though, is because I'm seriously wanting to take the plunge and possibly get an embroidery machine! Between the new job and my upcoming b-day, I feel the need to splurge! (Really, I feel the need to have my husband splurge! :rotfl2:) So, I need your recommendations! I would like something that I can purchase files for (all those designs of HeatherSue's are calling to me!) so that I can do applique. Plus, I know I said I'd like to splurge, but I do not want to sell all of my internal organs on the black market for this thing! So something reasonable in price! So, any recommendations and an approximate price would be SO MUCH appreciated!

Hey Lori! Glad you're back on, hope you continue to post, we miss you!

I am currently loking to buy an embroidery machine and I think I have decided on the Brother PE 750D. It has a USB, a 5x7 hoop (can't afford anything bigger unfortunately!) but it is embroidery only, no sewing. It's priced at $899. Now if it will stop raining long enough here (and we haven't had rain in the longest time and today it hasn't stopped) I'm going to go and buy it!

Wow you all have been moving fast! I have been sewing away. I made several mickey head applique shirts. The ones below I made for the boys and all four adults. And since my parents are coming this year, I made them each shirts zebra and red mickey shirts that we have from last year.

I do the same thing. Bid my maximum and don't look until the auction is over!

Great job! I am so OVER my image allowance but I loved your oufits! You'v been very busy getting all of that done!

I finished my first Feliz! I used the Trillium Design tutorial and it was immensely helpful. Couldn't have done the Feliz without it! Get ready for lots of pictures!

Cute idea with the Mine Mine! Great job on the applique and all of the ruffles! It turned out fantastic!

The closest Cheesecake Factory is at The Galleria. Downtown we now have a House of Blues (one of my favorites!!) If you'd like some restaurant suggestions let me know.



I have a Janome 350e and love it. It is an embroidery only machine and uses a card reader (which I don't have) or a memory stick (so much easier and cheaper) to move files from my computer to the machine. I got mine for under $1,000 at my local Janmoe dealer. I've been so happy with it that I think my next sewing machine will be a Janome.

The top turned out great! Where did you get your Janome? One of the dealers near me in Plano stopped carrying Janome but I know there is a dealer in Frisco that carries them.
 
I saved my multi quote from the last thread into a word document. Somehow it deleted all the pictures. I had a hard time remembering what I was quoting, so I gave up. lol

Oh and I was told by someone that there used to be a quilt pattern that was Cinderella's castle, I stopped into the shop that used to sell it and some snobby older woman looked at my like I had 2 heads when I asked, I then told her who sent me and if she knew what I was talking about and she then said yes, they did have it in the past, but not now and turned back to her convo with another sales person. Thats one thing I really dislike about living in Fairfield COunty, CT- is how uppity people can be.

Anywho- if anyone out there comes across an old pattern for Cinderella's castle, please let me and Toadstool know (I assume you are still open to castles Kira?)
yes! Castles ftw!


I'm joining in on the picture fun. I'm themeing mine..."Butt Ruffles"
Can you post a picture of the smocked one with the ruffles? from the front? lol
It is gorgeous. I have a dress made with the same smocking plate.

And I forgot I made me Cindy Lou Who also. Never got a good picture. We just got off the log ride at IofA here. You know, the one where you get soaked no matter what!!
JESSICA - Not sure what happened to all the pictures in my quotes, but I loved your Cindy Lou shirt. I may have to CASE that for myself this year!




Grinch- It is hard to find and super expensive! Michael Miller has put out some imo Grinchy prints. I like those a lot. They are bright and colorful and have a Seuss look to them.

I know there are Grinch scrubs out there. I think I might do that this year.
I love last years christmas line by MM. I used it for Hannah's dress. This years print is really whimsical too. I want it!

Hey guys, I am really hoping someone might be able to help me out here. I need suggestions on a possible Halloween pattern. My little one has decided that she wants to be a "vampira" for Halloween this year. I think it is due to the fact that her little brother is going to be a vampire. I bought his costume last year from Gymboree for like $10. She loves the cape and has been wearing it around. Hahaha.

Anyway....to the important part of this post. I REALLY, REALLY want to make a similar type "gothic vampira" dress as the one in the Chasing Fireflies catalog. http://www.chasing-fireflies.com/gothic-vampira/productinfo/26075/ (Please let me know if I am not allowed to post that link and I will remove it, thanks). Anyway, I am OBSESSED (kinda like Mom2RTK is obsessed about finding those boots...LOL) with this costume but want to make it with a bright red to match my son's vampire costume. Do any of you know what pattern I might be able to use to come somewhere close?? There is NO way I can wing this or create my own pattern...and if it is a commercial pattern, I probably can't do that either.....LOL.....but any suggestions???

Thanks in advance!!!!
Have you tried looking at the period costumes? I think alot of those would work. I lost the picture, but I remember it looking kinda like that.




That is stunning, I am in awe of that type of smocking talent I will send some pixie dust that she does not grow for a LONG while!!
Hehe! Thank you. My mom keeps telling her not to grow, and she keeps saying "God makes me grow.. I don't" :lmao:

By her chest measurement, could you go down a size in the bodice, and then just make it the length you want?* I know DD's arent that loose.
Ya, that is probably what I should have done. I always end up deciding to start a dress while she is asleep. I used to keep her measurements written down, and take them once a month... but lately I am lazy! I think I will try the 3 this next time.
I have the exact opposite problem! My bodices are coming out WAY to small. I started out making a 4 and could barely get it on Mollie. However she was so excited over her Tigger Halter that she didn't fuss getting it on. I read where the halter was a tighter fit so I did the jumper style in a 4 next. . .TOO SMALL AGAIN!! I have now went up to a size 5 and I am still VERY worried that if it shrinks AT ALL or she grows too much then she will not be able to wear it in Oct. She will definately not be wearing any of her WDW outfits before we go b/c I can't wash them if she does for fear of shrinkage. BUT, I did learn my lesson and I am now washing ALL fabric before sewing it! I just REALLY wish I new if I was doing something wrong! I even measured her for the size 5 to MAKE sure I was doing the correct size for her measurements, and I am doing 1/4 in seam so I am LOST as to what I am doing wrong. . .
You might want to measure a well fitting garmet instead of actually measuring on her. Someone once told me that if you ask 2 different people to take a certain measurement they will both get different measurements. That is why when I get a new pattern I make a test version. I have trouble fitting things by just measuring, and I like things to fit her well.




THE SIMPLY SWEET:
I always go by the chest measurement on my own child. I use the size IF I'm sewing for someone else and they don't know the chest measurement. One thing that you can do if you want her to wear this now - when you take the skirt off, add a casing under each arm and insert elastic. That will bring in some of the width. OR, just have her wear a shirt underneath.
It came out really cute!

THE SMOCKED DRESS:

That is GORGEOUS! I'd love to know about the sheep - are they machine stitched? Hand appliqued? What's up with those?
They are machine appliqued. Actually.. they are pinstitched. It is like a blanket stitch around them. I am worried to wash the dress because it appears to be kinda ravelly looking already. She has all those bullions on the sheep too. Those are by hand. There is alot of handwork on there. Those bullions take longer than the smocking.. for me at least. I'm so happy with it. :) I'm going to try the thing with the elastic. I really don't want to take the entire thing appart since it is just a play dress.


It is just beautiful and I can't imagine the hours that went into it! She is amazing!
She smocked that dress in just a few hours from what I understand. Geometric smocking goes really quick... it is all those hand embroidered roses and flowers that takes forever! :love:I was amazed when I saw it. I am glad you guys appreciated it too. I almost didn't post it because I didn't make it.

I just had to post some good news even though it has nothing to do with sewing. I booked our flights months ago through AirTran for a pretty good price. Well, in the last few weeks they have changed our flight times 3 x's and the last straw was that they changed our non stop flight to a layover that would take us almost all day to get home when we originally planned on being at the World that day! So my DH called to complain and while he was on the phone we checked out SouthWests schedule. AirTran said they would give us our money back with no hassles so we took it and booked through Southwest for even cheaper! And to top it all off, we no longer have to pay for our luggage so in the long run we saved a bunch of money!!!!! YAY!!!!!!! We were pretty excited. And our flights are at better times so we will have a lot more time the last day!!! woo-hoo!!!!
:woohoo:


That smocked dress is gorgeous! I know where you can send it when your DD outgrows it
hehe.. I am glad you like it.
My MIL would kill me. :laughing:



That is jaw dropping stunning. I am a sucker for smocking. Only thing better than smocking....smocking with butt ruffles!
Haha! I agree. That is why I made a smocked Feliz. :lovestruc



More ruffles but not butt ones! LOL! I made this a few months ago!



The mother got the cutest picture of her daughter with Daisy and it was on main street so the castle is in the backgound! It was so adorable!
Love this dress!
 
Hi guys, so many cute things posted today, I just don't have the energy tonight to comment on it all, I'm sorry. We had a pretty stressful day.

Here is the reluctant model in his pjs and the shirts Heather made for him::

th_IMG_1863.jpg


Megan told him all the the girls will want to be his friend with his new haircut and he rolled his eyes. He told her he was too young to like girls. Mom says good, lol!

I love Jacob's pants and his new haircut!!! Arminda liked the haircut too, as did Corey and Lydia. Brian didn't look, but I'm sure he would like it too.

Now, I really need to get to bed. I'm exhausted.
 
THat is so pretty! I love provincial Belle!
What is that on her ankle? Is it just some bracelets? She looks like she knows how to accessorize. ;)

Thanks! They are bracelets! In fact there were two mickey ones on there. I am not sure why she decided to put them on her ankle but they were there most of the night :)
 
Wow - I am pages behind - but I finished my two patchwork twirl dresses!!! Thanks to Mirandag819 who shared with me how to merge the SImply Sweet halter top and the patchwork twirl skirt!!!

th_024.jpg
That came out really pretty. I love the color combo.

BTW - I feel like I should mention Aurora's face isn't applique but is painted. I used to paint on clothes before I learned to applique and I've been thinking about mixing the two. I really like the results so I may try more in the future.
I had missed this post. What kind of paint to you use? I think I can paint.. we will see.. lol
I might actually do freehand applique if I could make the faces look okay.

Here is what I have been working on

Stroller organizer (I purposely left the middle strap off as it is going on the side for my niece)

No more outfits. I think. I need to finish bloomers & hair bows before Sept 29th. Anything else that I find time to make is bonus.
SO adorable! Did you do these on the sewing machine or embroidery? They look great. I think it is perfect!
 
Lisa - Are you in the Seattle area by chance? OH man it's been hot today! And not supposed to let up for a week! I'm going to die. We have a portable a/c unit in our bedroom, but I'm so tired of sitting in there. I tried some sewing today, but I nearly passed out it was so hot in my sewing room. It doesn't help that I'm four months pregnant, but MAN! I am so wishing for air conditioning in my whole house!

That is adorable. What a great idea to do the jumper reversible. My DH would love if I did things like that. He gets stuck carrying the bags. poor guy:laughing::love:
 
I am finally getting the nerve up to post. I have been lurking here for the last year. We are avid visitors at Disneyland, but have never been to the World. We are planning an Oct. trip to DL, and my husband thinks I'm crazy because I have started making customs. You all are a really bad influence on me. After each custom I see, I feel a need for a new one!!
