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

[mom2rtk]

Sorry! I love looking at the dresses- planning and researching are my absolute favorite parts (sewing no so much!)

I am kinda excited though because yesterday Emmy wore the Mulan themed skirt I made her- yes, my 12 yo wore something I made, outside of Disney, because she WANTED to!

Nah.... just kidding.... I love looking....

And I also think it's cool your 12 year old would wear something Disney-ish..... It goes too fast, doesn't it???????

I thought my daughters Lion and cheetah were the only ones with identity crisis. Sometimes they are boys, sometimes they are girls, sometimes they are girls who like to dress like boys. I think it's because my daughter can't make up her mind how much of a tomboy she wants to be, lol.

Hmm, maybe they all came from the same Build a Bear and plotted together!

I'm 99% sure they were girls when we walked out of the store but along the way Zoe acquired some 'boy clothes' so a couple of the less girly looking animals had to change gender.

Wow, sounds like serious drama at your house; makes me think of an alternative soap opera. I agree, potato sacks only for Ms. Bunny - that will sort her out. And it's nice to know that Mr/Ms monkey is comfortable with their feminine side. Sounds like Ms Kitties come up a winner, though!

Who knew the cute bunny would be such a Diva? I'm thinking she doesn't even deserve a potato sack and can stay nekkid.

I have been looking and looking where is the fabric swap? I have some fabric for it (finally) and I can't seem to find the link

One hasn't been started on FB. I am willing to start it on yahoogroups - I think it would be easier than FB, if others are interested I'll do it. Just let me know and I'll get on it.

My 2 cents: I find Yahoo Groups really hard to keep up with. I've tried a few times but the way they are email based just doesn't work for me. Of course I'm still trying to figure out Facebook. I'm in the DisBoutiquer group but not sure where all the action is. I'm definitely interested in some kind of swap set-up, though.

Finally got some pics taken today. You may notice a puss on her face in the princess vida (which I know I cased from someone on here). Sara Beth told me she is too old for princesses today. NO! She is only 5!

Those are great! I love your fabric combos in both Vidas. I always struggle with that.

which ever you choose please PM me and let me know

I am about to start a Nemo storybook panel skirt and wondered how all of you have done yours.

Do you use all the panels that are available? This particular one I have has 12 available panels.

Do you sew the page panels together directly or do you put a fabric strip between them?

Thanks!

I don't know if I am posting this on the right thread, but I'm really hoping that I am. I want to create a Tinker Bell dress for MNSSHP on September 11th, the only problem is that I can't find a pattern for an adult costume. I want to make it to look like Tinker Bell's dress at the park. I will probably only use two pieces (the front piece and the back piece of fabric). Does anyone know where I can either get a pattern for this or know how I could make my own?

 

[JustcallmeHappy]

Has anyone made a Harry Potter Robe Costume? Both Kids want to be Harry Potter this yr (Including DD..) And I hate spending so much on a robe

 

[HLAuburn]

Anyone know where I might find an applique design for a Minniw head silouette with the red sailor hat and yellow flower sticking out? I found a design for just the hat, but I'd like the Minnie head, too.

Thanks!

I have done them both with and without the fabric strip. It depends on how full you want the skirt as to how many panels you use. I sometimes reserve one panel for the front of a matching top.

Hi, i love lurking on this thread. Everything is awesome!

I am looking for some advice. We are going to WDW 12/8-12/15. We're coming from rainy western washington so the weather will be pleasent to us.

I made the girls these dresses last year for DLR, I cheated a little and did 1 type of dress 2 fabrics.

I still have the patterns and am thinking about using them again. My seamstress (Grandma) Thinks that they should have sleeves on their dresses. I was thinking maybe a princess type short cape. Red/white fuzzy since it will be christmas time. Or maybe even matching. Havent gotten that far yet.

Any thoughts on going with or without sleeves.They usually only wear them at dinners and for a few rides.

TIA for any help!

I think I may start a group tonight and see how it goes. What would help you keep up is that you need to set your email settings to get a DIGEST instead of INDIVIDUAL emails. This way you only get one email a day with an index

you used to not be able to see pictures on digest--has it changed?

Slightly OT, but still creative LOL
I may have mentioned that a friend of mine and I have started a boutique cake business called 2 Chicks Cakes! Here's what we did last night- it was a birthday cake for 4 colleagues. First time I did a paying gig for someone I didn't know at all, so pretty cool milestone there

Thanks for looking!

ETA the small gap between the top and middle tiers will be covered; but I didn't see it when we mocked it for the pic shown. The client specified that they wanted to use ribbon. And yes, my brain doesn't see straight lines real well, but this cake is supposed to be "mad hatter" style, I promise.

That middle layer is screaming Nightmare before Christmas to me.
Put a Jack and Sally on top and that would be the world's coolest wedding cake.

I actually never get the emails. I set it up so I don't get them. Then I can just go in and check if my group has any new messages and read them that way. I have lots of groups im a part of so it makes it easier that way to log in, see all my groups, and see if anything is new.

Oh I am so mad I could scream!!! I don't know if it is my TBI or the stupid tutorial but I can't for the life of me figure out the applique tutorial for Embird Studio.

It could be I don't have a clue what they are talking about or that I have never seen the software before, but DANG!!!

I was going to buy the tutorial for Embird from Carolyn also but I sure hope it is easier than this one. If not, I need to find different software. Something more user friendly.

If there is an attachment you can't see it on the digest - you have to log-in and look there. BUT I think that we could just use the photos/files section and each have our own folder - in my folder I could upload pics of all the fabrics I have to trade and then we could browse each others folders. I'm ironing out the details and then will make the group.

Oh, honey, I don't think it is your TBI, I think it is the software, to be honest... I tried it last weekend and I STRUGGLED. My DH was finally able to do things, but it took him all night to figure it out. I have VIP customizing for my Viking and I didn't struggle at ALL! Don't worry... it is not just you!

Try Simplicity 2857 and modify it a little or if you are small try altering the child sized pattern.

Has anyone made a Harry Potter Robe Costume? Both Kids want to be Harry Potter this yr (Including DD..) And I hate spending so much on a robe

Simplicity5512 is pretty close. You may want to modify the sleeves to be more accurate.

Florida can be relatively warm even in December. On our trips in January we usually dress in layers like long sleeve tee-shirts under tops. Maybe a light jacket. Then by lunch we are in short sleeves. A cape would be pretty!

It is hard to learn Embird as I am still trying to do so. However, I have an applique tutorial I have managed to "master" I will look for it tomorrow and send you a link! Good luck!

Okay I think I am done with shirts.... didn't do everything I originally wanted, but at least I got Taylor's stuff done.

Here are the shirts I finished for us big girls....wish DH would match in some way too, but he won't

For the dessert

For 1900 PF:

For Ohana (Taylor couldn't let me take pics that didn't have her in it):

For Animal Kingdom, my mom has one too but she took it with her since I was done with it when she was here last week. Her's is black and white. My sister also has a skirt to match Taylor's. It is the pink and white, green and white, and black and white zebra print stripwork twirl (and she wants to wear a petti with it too..... she is a dork but her and Taylor will look cute)
