Disboutiquers Part 17 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

My 2nd Vida, my 2nd applique...

The coloring picture I had of piglet had one of his eyebrows askew. I think he's supposed to be raising an eyebrow. I thought it was cute but now I think it looks completely dorky so I'll probably change it.

sooooo...I think I know a 5 year old who'll like it. After I made her sister's she told me she wanted one "just exactly like it, only pink with Piglet". She also got to decide this morning whether she wanted green on the sides or if I needed to return to the fabric store for more pink. We (and by "we" I mean KAREN) had a cutting mishap. She needs to stick to her glue guns I guess.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

She will LOVE it! Where is the rick rack?

Has the black fabric started talking to you yet? Daddy's 40th Birthday Jack skellington party is this Saturday. I think Sierra is more excited about her Jack outfit than she is about the bounce house.

You gave me a pattern and thought it would come out ok, um how long have you know me?

 

[tricia]

Can someone help me out? I can't find a template for the Minnie Head bow anywhere in photobucket. Does anyone have one handy?

[eeyore3847]

These are great! I love that you consider finishing 3 outfits as not getting much done!

I know...lol.. I had a lot more planned to do...lol

 

[ireland_nicole]

actually I do make for my daughter and others. I do sometimes OOAK's and put them up below in my siggy....





that is extremly creative.. great job!

Lori

umm, what's OOAK?

I'm not sure if I made it before page 10. But, if I didn't it's just 'cuz all the cool kids post on page 10. Thanks for having my back, Teresa!

I finished Tessa and Sawyer's Jasmine and Aladdin outfits today! They're going to wear these to Akershush and for the day at Epcot. Hopefully we'll run into Jasmine and Aladdin this time! Be prepared for LOTS of Tessas and Sawyers!

Those are Awesome!!!!!!!!!

I really like piglet just as he is! I love the dress, it's adorable!

For all of us that are going soon, they extended the Wishes Dessert Party at the Magic Kingdom. You have to call and reserve through the dining line. I think I will call, it looks great !!!

I so want another baby, sadly I cannot have any more children. We have been looking into the foster to adopt in our state. My cousin couldn't have children and she started filling out adoption applications and then a friend of a friend of a friend told her about a young girl that wanted to give up her baby, so bing bang boom, she adopted the cutest little girl. Somehow I am hoping it will happen that way for me. I so have baby fever right now, and I am so upset, DH doesn't understand, but I know you all do

I do know how you feel. I'm grateful for the 2 I have, but almost died having them, and they have disabilities in part because of the complications I had. So no more pregnancies for me. I still have baby ache too.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I am just desperate for 3 yards of either one of these fabrics. Please if you see them when you are out let me know so I could call the store or pick them up and I will pay for the shipping and effort.

I went to make DH a pirate shirt to match our outfits and all I have left is scraps. I think I got it at JoAnn's but won't be there till next Sunday the 7th and even then don't know if they have it.

 

[t-beri]

WOW HEATHER!! Those are great Aladdin outfits!!! I love the fabric you used for Tessa's.

ATTENTION DISBOUTIQUERS!!!!!! Did that do it? Are you paying attention

I just found this project called Iraqi Bundles of Love. There is a soldier in Iraq who is collecting flat rate boxes w/ bundles of sewing supplies to distribute to citizens in the area where he is deployed. It's an APO so it will be the same as sending it w/in the US.
According to his about me page he is "...the son of a quilter, who also made Halloween costumes for us kids. I am the brother of quilters, who give generously in everything they do. I am the husband of a quilter, who inspires me every day. And, apparently, I am helping to raise a quilter, who happens to be the cutest girl in the world."

HERE is his page: http://ibol.wordpress.com/2009/08/03/iraqi-bundles-of-love-the-intro/

This is a great way to get rid of some of that amassing fabric stash you have. A great project for your girl scouts, sunday school class or quilters guild. I hope that a lot of you get involved. What an amazing way for us to reach out as crafters to the world beyond ours and lend a helping hand to those in real need.

IF YOU HAVE FABRIC BUT DON'T HAVE $$$$ to send it, let us know maybe someone here has the cash but not the threads and ya'll can hook up to send a bundle

I

The back of Sawyer's vest. I started with CarlaC's Festive Vest pattern. But, I modified it to look more like Aladdin's.

Tessa's shirt is the simply sweet bodice, but elongated and I didn't put elastic in the straps. I just put elastic around the ankles of the easy fits for the pants.

The skirt on Tessa's outfit is removable (I put snaps in the back) and here is Sawyer's t-shirt without the vest. I stitched the design on some fabric and then sewed the piece onto the shirt. I left the edges frayed.

Close-ups of the appliques I digitized:

Heather is the Aladdin done on a 10X6 and then sewn on? I do like the outfits they are wonderful.

 

[teresajoy]

The pile of fabrics for poohnpigletsCA's girls has begun talking back to me. Time to get into full blown sewing mode. This will not be easy...especially since I don't get to make the trip with them. In fact, I don't think they even conside

How RUDE!

Oh no...if you do all of my sewing I'll take you! But maybe i should rethink that if fabric is talking to you...hmmm...maybe you do need that time at the beach!

That DOES IT!! I can NOT be seen with you in those amazing outfits!!!! My kids will look like ragamuffins next to Tessa and Sawyer!!!

These are just fantastic Heather!!! FABULOUS!!!! You are a true artist!

There is nothing wrong with that! In fact I am working on some MSU Spartan Vida's tonight!

BAH!!!!!

GO BLUE!!!

Oh I can't wait to see them. I used to live in East Lansing! I hate to admit it but we are starting to become UofM fans now, too, though...I figure since they saved the lives of two of my children, they deserve some of our attention!

I don't care for the hospital, but I do prefer U of M!

Heather - your applique designs are fabulous. You're going to push me into buying that embroidery machine if you don't stop doing such beautiful designs.

Glenda

Come on Glenda, you know you will get one eventually, just do it now!

1.Thank you so much for the compliments! I'm still always so unsure about the stuff I make. But, you always make me feel better!


2.Me too! I want another baby!

3.I can't believe you dug up that old post! How long did that take you?


4.I was born and raised in Michigan, and our AK day in February was the coldest I've ever been in my life. It was high 30's, low 40's and windy. It was miserable, awful, bone chilling cold! I had a winter coat, gloves, and a hat and I was still freezing! I've been other times in February where the weather was beautiful! Actually, a few days after this, it was in the 80's! You never know what you're going to get!

5.Hey, she's my sister and I didn't even get a heads up!

6.Tessa is already getting herself all worked up over leaving Daddy and Grandma for a week. So, I guess we're getting excited too!

1. You are nuts! Your stuff is incredible!
2. You remember that TV move waaaay waaaay back when? I think it starred the Bionic Woman, Lindsay Wagner, was that her name? They had the artificial womb where her baby grew. It was some type of experiment her husband was working on. She had to pretend that she was pregnant. Anyway, I think of that movie a lot, and wonder how close they are to that! I do love to actually be pregnant though!

I came close to doing the same thing this Spring. It didn't work out.

I always dream of that happening to me, too!

OOAK= One of a kind. Basically, it means that they aren't made to order. You buy the size that is listed.

I hear you on the dangerous pregnancies.

WOW HEATHER!! Those are great Aladdin outfits!!! I love the fabric you used for Tessa's.

I thought that looked interesting! Do we know for sure this is legitimate and it's not someone collecting fabric to resell?

Yep, it sure is. Thanks April!

1. Yeah right, your kids have never looked like ragamuffins! Especially in something you made them! But, thank you!

2. I hate U of M's hospital.

3. Oh my gosh, I remember that movie! I think about it sometimes, too!

My sister's youngest is Tessa Jayne!!

Really?! How old is she? Would she mind embroidered nightgowns that have her middle name spelled wrong?

2. I hate U of M's hospital.

Really? Of course I've never dealt with the main hospital, but I love the NICU and the kids' specialists at Mott rawk.

(Of course I should add that I'm technically a Bronco, I got my BA from WMU)

 

[disneylovinfamily]

holy cow, I am behind. now got to go catch up. no one told me we were moving. i so need to get a moving buddy!

The Mott's part of the hospital looks awesome!! But, the part of the hospital I was in was SO run down and awful. My room was absolutely filthy, the nurses were nowhere to be found, and the doctors were clueless. You can read about my lovely experience there by clicking on the "Learn all about me" link in my siggy and then clicking on "my blood clotting disorders". The U of M part of my story is on page 2. Let's just say I now realize how incredibly nice Bronson hospital in Kalamazoo is!

 

[fairygoodmother]

SO cute! You are great at applique!!!!

Thank you! coming from you that means soooooo much, "oh-thou-amazing-applique-queen"!

 

[disneymommieof2]

Ahhh I got lost!! I was wondering why I didn't have an updates today! Well I'm here now ( at least to window shop )

 

[tanyaandallie]

HELP

I need some color help, I am making DD a dress with this OSU fabric and tell me which dots you think look best

May I ask where you found this fabric? I've been on the hunt for Ohio State fabric for years and have never found any. I live in the south but most fabric stores have all different sports teams but never Ohio State. TIA!

 

[lovesdumbo]

I just wanted to thank Lydia and Stephanie for helping me finish all 50 wristlets for my mom for her trip to Brazil. Thanks also to those who wanted to help but couldn't due to time factors etc - it was sooooo sweet of you to offer!!!

Each wristlet is going to have some shampoo's/lotions in it and a little card that says "Create in me a clean heart O,God; and renew a right spirit within me" Psalm 51:10 - and it will be in Portugese!! My mom and sister in law heather are going to teach a ladies class during a missions conference where my stepfather is the main speaker for the missionaries over there. They leave on Tuesday!!! Mom and Heather are praying that they will help rejuvinate and refresh the ladies who work so hard day after day reaching out to people and helping them. They are going to give each lady a wristlet - plus I made mom and heather one too!!!

Those are wonderful! I'm sure the women will love them!!!!

Just a quick post on the new thread before I go to bed. We went to the zoo on Friday and I made Chloe an Emma top. She picked the fabrics. It's a cute style but was a bit frustrating to make.

Such a cute top!

My daughter wanted a lilo dress for our Disney trip. As a mum who works Full Time as a Marketing Manager and also works from home doing freelance I confess I was happy to take the short cut an buy the dress.

But after searching the internet I just could not find that little red dress with white leaves.

So (please don't tease me for not sewing) I did the following:

Bought a red t-shirt dress from a Charity shop
Bought some white cotten
Bought some Bondaweb

I made a leaf template and using the bondaweb ironed the cut out white cotton to to the dress.

Below is the result - I may not be as talented as some of you guys with the fantastic outfits you create, however, as a complete beginner I was really pleased with my first 'Costume effort' (my 11yr daughter also loves it - infact she won't stop wearing it!)

That came out great!

I guess I better post before I become an official loser. Haven't posted in awhile, been busy packing. Our stuff left on Tuesday and tomorrow we leave for the long drive out to CO. But I'm super excited to finally be leaving here and going back home.

For all you moms sending the kids off to school. Yesterday Was the first day of school out here. Ds should have had his forst day but because of the move there was no point to enroll him. I also have driven a school bus for the last few years. I actually did tear up yesterday knowing that my son should be in school and I should be driving my bus. I already miss my bus and some of my kids on the bus.

Well I'm off to get both cars loaded up and finish cleaning the house.

Good luck with the move!

I finished Tessa and Sawyer's Jasmine and Aladdin outfits today! They're going to wear these to Akershush and for the day at Epcot. Hopefully we'll run into Jasmine and Aladdin this time! Be prepared for LOTS of Tessas and Sawyers!

WOW!!! Those are awesome!!!!

OK, amazing DISboutiquers, don't laugh at me!! I joined the thread a long time ago (under my alias), and all I made was tutus and bows...no sewing. Well, I finally dug out my Hello Kitty sewing machine (someone has the same one, PM me if that's you because I have some questions) and gave it a go.

I made the white pillowcase dress first. The pillowcase already had the super cute eyelet trim, so I just added some ribbon. It's very, very remedial, but I'm just excited I didn't sew my fingers together. The Minnie dress was some leftover fabric on clearance at Hobby Lobby. It was a few extra steps since it wasn't already a pillowcase, but it turned out nicer than I thought. I had extra fabric, so I made a bow and purse. Both are for my niece to wear on our trip next month. I need to find a slip or something to go underneath the white one, though.

See my lovely "straight" line.

I also made some curtains out of DS's Cars flat sheet. I feel so domestic!

I'm going to attempt to make some Aladdin pants (perfect timing for the Aladdin inspiration earlier in the thread) for DS since DNiece has a Jasmine outfit. I am also hoping to try an applique. Wish me luck and strong needles! I already broke one.
