Oh Amy I'm so sorry. As most people on here know, I lost my BFF a year and a half ago. She left behind a 3 year old and a 3 month old so I know exactly what you are going through. Feel free to PM me if you need to chat.

Amy.... so sorry to hear about your friend. Prayers still being sent in behalf of her DH, children and friends.

Has anyone seen this custom Disney outfit before or know who made it? Over the past year I've been collecting some of my favorite outfits and sewers, but of course now that I am ready to order I can't seem to find who made this and it's the one I'd like. I could have sworn I got it on here. If not it was from someone on Ebay. I almost remember the lady having a website too that I booked, but haven't come across it. Any help would be very much appreciated!

I see you got your answer - jennaclaireboutique on ebay. I recgonized her model. She is not a DISer.

Those are sooooo cute! Is that Carla C's raglan done sleeveless?

Nope - it's a butterick pattern for a hoodie, I just left the sleeves off. It was huge on him last year, but fits perfectly this year

Darn... I hate commercial patterns, but I love the idea of the sleeveless hoodie. Here it's so darn hot most of the year, and to be honest I'm getting a little tired of just embellishing t-shirts for him; I wanna mix it up a little.

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and her husband and kids. Those poor little ones, it just breaks my heart! I am so sorry!

Hello disboutiquers, I am jealous of your talent. I was wondering if any of you had ever made a Disney ring sling to carry your baby in or know someone who has? Thanks in advance for your response!

What a great idea! If you haven't already, check out www.thebabywearer.com - it's all about slings, and there are links to various directions, vendors, and people who make custom slings. Without a doubt you could find someone who would make you a Disney sling, especially if you found the fabric. I imagine that you'd want to pair cotton with something else, to make it more supportive, but it could certainly be done!

I actually saw one there they had on a swap, it was reversible duponi silk I believe. One side was red with black mickey cut-outs on the tail, the other was black with red mickeys. I never found someone to make one there, but I could always check again.

Hi Guys,

LOVE all that has been posted - cool Dalmation fabric!!

Question for those sewing for Collin's big give - is anyone else making an outfit for him? If so, he wears a size 8 tshirt - does that mean a S or a M in a kids shirt???????? I dont know which size to do - lol - his chest measurement is 27".

Praying steadfastly for Keri's family -

Tomorrow my Mom leaves for Brazil!!! Should have pictures in a week or so of the women with their wristlets!! Thanks again everyone!! Pray for them as they travel if you could!

Thanks!!

You would want to do a size medium if he wears an 8, generally boy sizes are XS-4/5 S-6/7 M-8/10 L-10/12 XL-14/16

Hi Heather,

I picked a very complicated tink to start out with and it is kicking my A$$. I use PS4 but it is still coming out poor quality and not picking up the eyes correctly. I am just going to walk away for awhile.

Sometimes, the faces do come out looking poorly. That is why I look for designs with easy faces. The disney jewels are great for this. I have done many designs that are ruined in the last few steps of the face.

Is this not exactly what I was wishing for????????....a backstage pass to Disney's Costuming Dept....and why are those seamstresses not on this thread???hmmmmm????? I sooooo want to walk around and touch all of those dresses......I feel faint

So I checked last night for any similar jobs at Disneyland. I will be checking that weekly! I would drive 30 minutes for that job!

Quick question.........I know someone made their daughter the converse tennis shoes with the bling on the toe cap..........Leslie maybe? I was just wondering how you did it and has anyone ever done the designs that I've seen on the sites that are really expensive? I just ordered the Target version of the Converse tennis shoes (made by Converse but somehow different) in pink and black and want to "bling" them up. By the way, they are buy one get one half off so it really helps with the price if you're looking for them.

Oh, I want to know that too!

I am so sad to hear this news. I will keep her family in my prayers.

Comerica Park is an awesome stadium! We've had seats up high and been practically right on the feild. You'll have fun either place. I made the kids matching baseball sets last year but they never wore them to a game.

This was the early days of applique for me

So cute!

It very much looks like jennaclaireboutique to me. She (as far as I know) is not a member here - she sells her beautiful designs on a very popular auction site.

I love her designs! I recognize her little one too!

My DD wanted me to make a disney one for her, but we never got around to it. Sounds cute!

FABULOUS new creations! You all are such an inspiration daily!

Amy- I am so sorry for your loss and that families.

Here is a skirt I have been working on for Nikki's 10th bday at WDW. We are going to CRT for Breakfast. I still need to make the shirt but I wanted to show you all the skirt.
The embroidery designs are Heather's I LOVE them! Nikki actually sat watching the machine stitch out all 17 of them! She loved seeing them be created. They stitched out perfect! Heather you ROCK!!!!!
There are 3 castles all in different colors, 3 coaches in different color combos, 2 wands, 6 hearts with different sayings and 3 crowns all different. I think that is it...

Once I finish the top I will have her try the whole thing on...

Gorgeous! Can't wait to see it with the top!

I was the one teresa measured for!! I have made one and it turned out really well!! I follow that martha stewart link pretty close.
This is what I would do for a 12". Remember this is a 2 layer skirt. I am explaining just for one layer - so multiply by 2!!
Take her waist measurement times 2. This is made with satin. Make about 7.5 X 2 x waist". So this would be about 3" long once folded over and with seam. For the first 4" tier of chiffon, I do about a 130" length (This will be a ruffle of about 2.5 depending on waist size). For the second 4" tier I do about 320" length (again about a ruffle factor of 2.5), and for the 2" ruffle I do 1620" length (a ruffle factor of 5).
This will give you a length of about 12". When you do the math with chiffon at 54", you would need just over 5 yards. I get my chiffon at afc-express.com for $1.54 a yard. Plus they now have pre cut rolls. For example a 90 yard roll of 2" chiffon! That will save a ton of time!!!

Some tips: start from the bottom up. Cut and ruffle the 2"ruffle first, attach to 2nd tier, then ruffle 2nd tier and so on. WAY easier!!
Also, on my brother I just adjust the tension to ruffle the chiffon. I tested on some scrap strips to figure it out! So really no actual hand gathering or ruffler foot!

They aren't too bad, a little time consuming, but I am hoping the pre-cut rolls will help!!

Good luck!

Jessica

I would love to see a picture of this!

OK, guys, I have a slight problem...

I bought some dress-up outfits at a steal at our local consignment sale. I thought I'd use the tops and make tutus for the bottoms. Well, DNiece tried Cinderella on, and the tutu looks great, but the top is too short. I thought about cutting off the middle panel and attaching it to another shirt, but I want something fancy. DS will be in his Prince Charming costume, so I want her to feel equally as special (i.e., not just a Cinderella tshirt). Any ideas? An easy shirt to sew? A cute way to embellish a blue tshirt? Adding material to this shirt? She says the sleeves are itchy, so I'd have to line those somehow if I ended up just adding material. This is for dinner at 1900.

Here's the top:

I hiked up the tutu for the purpose of the pic, but it looks more like Jasmerella.

I was thinking the same thing as others - add a ruffle to the bottom of the shirt.

Thanks to all of you for praying for my friend Keri.....I'm very saddened today as she passed away this morning. Please continue to pray for her family, her husband and her babies. Thanks!

Oh, I am so sorry. This is so sad.

Wow, lots of MI folks here! We're pretty close to Port Huron, about 20 min from there, and that's where our closest craft/fabric stores are.

Don't forget this Michigander!
