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

Mom2rtk..I had to show DH that gown..even he said it was impressive (which is getting a lot out of him. LOL).

Eyore4Ever149 - Of course I'd expect you to save some for yourself! I thought that would be perfect for a tunic for DD..I saw a tunic on the photoshop that someone posted that had the princesses on stripped fabric. I thought how perfect without be OVERLY princess.
Angel, your contribution has paid for my wendy schoen pattern, so thanks! LOL. It is cute, its not as thin as regular cotton, so it will be perfect for any weather. I was even thinking of doing a dress with it- make the flower border be on the bodice and the princesses on the hem of skirt. I think it might have been a daisy kingdom??? I found it a couple years ago.
Oooh, Im so excited, someone else bought my Fancy Nancy- wow! I just posted that at like 10 this morning! This is so exciting!

What do you think people are looking for? I have all sorts of stuff, jungle prints, I have more disney. I have some flannel backed satin w Tinkerbelle I have to post. Im not the best photographer either.
This is all new to me. I just need to sell enough to buy my fabric.
Thats 2 1/2 yards of silk at 24yds and 2 1/2 yards organza @ $13 a yard, plus laces, buttons, etc, etc, etc.
 
How many of you sew for yourself....

I have been sewing for so long and have never made anything for myself...
not sure why just never have... so how many of you sew for yourself too..
and what do you make for yourself..

Funny..I haven't made anything for ME in a really long time. I've made two ball gowns (back when we didn't have kids and actually went to the military balls), numerous renissance wear in college. So basically, nothing in the last 6 years! I always buy fabric and then never make anything...so sad.

I could totally see that fabric as a daisy kingdom. I never see daisy kingdom fabric or patterns anymore. I used to hate the patterns though..I'd be like, I know how to do that a simpler way and change it. LOL.
I was thinking since it was a little heavier it would be fine since we are going in late November.
 
Thanks Chica!!!

She is currently free of my gypsyrump so I think it would work for her. I wish they had this in grown up size! (and fluffy size!)

A girl can dream, huh? I'm waiting for the day that Carla comes up with such a pattern - because I trust her patterns. I have seen some one seam pants for women, but I'm scared to try them. Not to mention that they're pretty pricey!

I don't know if it would work for you, but fabric.com has silk dupoini for a lot less than that.
 
I thank all the lovely ladies who posted the Joann sale info, though I think my husband would *not* thank you. :lmao:
 
The girls only wore the customs at two meals - CRT and Park Fair. It was just so hot that they wanted T's and shorts (and the sundresses wear fairly wrinkled at CRT from being in the back pack all morning!!)* And Kristin (8) rebeled and wouldn't wear the patchwork twirl to PF - she wore the sundress again.* I will have to scan in our pics made at PF, but here the girls are in their sundresses at CRT

Super cute!* So sorry about the twirl.

Cute! Love the fabric on the Ameliya dress
I finally have something to share.* I have been busy working on a rag quilt for my DSIL, so have not gotten time to sew any quick things.* DSIL bought fabric to match the new paint colours in her bedroom to make a rag quilt with and then discovered she did not have enough time to sew it.* (I don't understand this, she has no kids and she is a high school teacher, so is off for the summer :confused3)* I have 2 kids and work full time.* Anyway, she asked if I could make it for her and she would pay me for my time.* I agreed, but it is 143 squares, so it is taking a bit of time.So I decided to take a break from it this weekend and did some stuff for my cousins kids.A portrait peasant nightie for Amber:And a pair of easy Fit PJ pants for Riley:I am going to try a Curious George applique on a shirt tonight to go with this, but I'm not sure how it will come out as I have really only done single shape appliques so far. (Like Mickey Heads)
You'll do fine; I love, love, love that fabric.
How many of you sew for yourself....I have been sewing for so long and have never made anything for myself... not sure why* just never have... so how many of you sew for yourself too.. and what do you make for yourself..
Oh, sure I make myself stuff all the time!* There's the...no, that was for my mom,...oh I know the- nope, that was for DD...hmmmmm.* I have made one handbag.* See, I knew there was something!Thanks Marah for the reminder about the Joann's sale; I'm waiting w/ bated breath because I need serger thread for the pettis I'm trying to make; 4 of each color adds up fast!
 
I love this thread and I've gotten lots of great ideas. I finally finished a project I've been working on for what seems like forever...a dress that looks like June from Little Einsteins for my daughter Emily (2). I used New Look Pattern 6688. Overall I'm happy with it and want to brag a little, it's the most complex thing I've sewn so far. I don't like how the sash looks, I think I will go get a bigger ribbon, but that's minor. Here she is:

:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:
I finished something I started! woohoo! She'll be all set for our H&V breakfast next month.

PS - I might add a little Rocket applique on the bodice...I've seen them on ebay and I think that would be cool, but I don't know if it would be too "much" if you know what I mean.
 
OMG!!!

So, even though our trip is ages away, Hannah has already picked out the dress she "has to" have.

I started looking around for materials and found ONE of them I need...and it's $70 a yard!!! OMG!!

How in the WORLD do they expect me to take scissors to something that costs $70 a yard when I have no idea if I'll do anything other than mess it up, PLUS I can't even get myself to cut some $4 a yard stuff!!
 
Hey all, I have been MIA for a few days. Some of you may know my DH had his gall bladder out on Friday morning in an outpatient facility. Well, by Friday night he was in horrible pain and having chest pains and couldn't breathe very well. Pain meds did nothing and since he couldn't relax the pain was getting worse. We called our health care company and they said go to urgent care. We did, it was a 3-4 hour wait to get in. So we went to the Emergency Room at our local hospital. They got him right in and had a lot of tests. They decided to admit him overnight for observation. On Saturday and Sunday, they ran even more tests. He is now running a temp and still cannot move without being in horrible pain.

Its now Sunday night (well, Monday morning) and he is still in the hospital. So I am asking if you can spare a few prayers. Its been a long few days and we are no closer to finding out what is wrong than we were Friday.

Thanks.

Pancreatitis? Sometimes when they take the gall bladder out, a stone will fall into the pancreas. I've had Pancreatitis, but from a test they did on the GB. The pain is to the left side of the belly button and it's pretty bad. I was in the hospital for a week. They started me off on Morphine, then switched to demeral. You can't eat or drink this whole time. The Pancreas lets off enzymes that pretty much poison the blood. Your pretty sick, but time makes it better.

Let us know how he makes out.

I just looked but it's not on the site (this was at the local joanns). It was a beaded/embroidered organza type fabric. Even in the 50% off sale that's way too much to risk on my poor sewing skills!!
 
Will someone please tell me where they bought the Vida pattern in English? My google is only turning up German instructions. Maybe it only comes in german???
 
I don't know if it would work for you, but fabric.com has silk dupoini for a lot less than that.
Thanks, but no, Im looking for Martha Pullen's silk dupioni with victorian vine (its embossed on the fabric) and after getting samples and going to one shop about 45 min from me I am learning that there is a wide range of "silk dupioni"

Its on ebay all the time, but I dont see it there now
 
Here is a t-shirt I am working on for myself for our upcoming trip. I am not looking forward to sewing around all of those letters.

Can someone with the Brother CS6000i and a ruffler foot point me in the right direction to find a ruffler of my own that works with this machine?

Thanks!

I think it would be cute, but what if she didn't want it all the time? What about an apron; you could use pink for the band and ties, and applique rocket on it; that way if you didn't want it, she would simply look just like June; BTW: I love the dress; great job!!

OK, I'm dying to see what it is! I finger those expensive special order fabrics every time I'm in that store (which is often........)
