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

[teresajoy]

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments about the Lilo/Elvis skirt! You guys always make me feel good!

So cute! Was that an easy pattern I have been thinking about making one for Nik.

It was REALLY easy! 45 minutes from cut to hem!

This is what I have been working on for the past few days. Now that all of our activities have started back, I don't have much time to sew. I am so glad these patterns are so easy. Here are Abbie and Maddie. I really do have a little boy, too. I am going to be making him some shirts and promise to post a picture of soon.

I love it!! Really cute! I like ribbon across the bodice, that adds a really nice touch.

Oh the saying on the wall just made me cry!! How sweet is that! Where did you get it?

Very cute, and love your dd's bedding!

Yep, I'm double posting! This is my first pieced together applique (apart from some hand quilting I did years ago). The dress was finished almost a month ago, but I've been super slow at getting dd to try things on for me. Plus we've all been sick here, and I didn't want her blowing snot all over it.

Here she was pretending to be a bird:

(Said in my best Rob Schneider voice from "The Waterboy")

"Yoooo can do EEEETTTT!!!!"

(And yes, I know how sad it is that I know this...)

I know that line!! In fact it was the toast my Father in law/ Minister gave DH and I at our reception!

 

[VBAndrea]

Yay!!!! Just don't forget to add a seam allowance!!! Not that it happened to me

For shame! You *almost* forgot to add the seam allowance!!! Yep, I didn't do anything like that either

 

[carrie6466]

For shame! You *almost* forgot to add the seam allowance!!! Yep, I didn't do anything like that either

I have to chime in here and say that I would never, ever do anything like that either, even though I knew it needed to be added

 

[NiniMorris]

First of all I want to thank everyone for their kind thoughts, prayers, and well wishes for my DD and her husband. They have bought a new car, visited with the insurance person, and she is completely 100% physically.

She has gone back to work, but her boss will be out for the next week. Hopefully some clarity will come to the person in question before it becomes more confusing. (my husband is an accident reconstruction expert. He cannot be called to testify because he is family. But, he has agreed that the physical facts do not correspond with the police officer's statement.)

She has moved on to the next big event in her life...she will be a mommy...for a week. She is watching the 6 month old that my DS and DIL have custody of while we go to Disney. She is really looking forward to it! Hopefully, this will convince SIL that they are 'grown up' enough to have a baby! We'll see.

Now, on tho the real part of this post!

I'm going to Disney World...we leave at zero dark thirty tomorrow morning! I still have one pair of overalls to finish and have to put the elastic in 3 pair of Easy fits for the dolls. I ran out and did NOT want to go out in the rain to get some!

It is really funny how fast those doll outfits went together! I made Stripwork Jumpers and Easy Fits. I was able to make 4 outfits last night in just a couple of hours...of course, I'm glad the dolls are not as picky as people! There are several spots that I really should have ripped out and re-done...but time constraints wouldn't let me!

I told my husband that I really do learn things on this forum...and not just about sewing! I have never watched Lilo and Stitch...did not know that Lilo liked Elvis! (BTW. he died on my wedding day!)

I probably won't be able to post any more until after we get back on the 26th, so everyone have fun! I'll be looking for fellow Disbouttiquers!

Nini

Oh yeah...I will be posting pictures when we get back...Photobucket and I do not like each other! Or maybe it doesn't like my computer...I can only upload pictures from the laptop...but can only access Photobucket from the desktop upstairs...too much trouble with so much still to get done!

 

[busy mommy]

Here she was pretending to be a bird:

This outfit is precious and so is your dd.

 

[busy mommy]

It was REALLY easy! 45 minutes from cut to hem!



Oh the saying on the wall just made me cry!! How sweet is that! Where did you get it?

45 minutes? I must get this pattern now, too. I am going to go broke buying patterns. But I keep telling dh it is much cheaper than new clothes!

A girl from my church paints for a living. She made the canvas. I saw it and cried, too. It was hard decorating a room for an eleven and two year old. This seemed to tie everything together.

Very cute. So cool that your 11 yr old will dress to match her little sister. My DS12 surprised me this year by requesting stuff for himself that I had made for his little brother and cousin. Well, it was more like whining..."mom, you made one for Zach and not for me?!?!?!, he is not even your son"

Arminda tried on the skirt for me. She really likes it!!! She was between sizes and I made her a size up. Next time I think I'll go down a size. We were both pretty pleased with how it looked on her!

Looks much better on Arminda then on the clothes line. Great job.

Front of Dress (I made the front panel larger to accomodate the length of the cat as I thought that was easier than resizing what I wanted to do for the applique ~ so the bottom panel on the front is very small):

A close up of the applique so you can see all my mistakes. The only thing I really don't like (other than the mistakes) is that the cats front legs don't show up well since the thread color closely matches the fabric used. The little stuffed heart on the cat's collar is removeable for washing (it's just looped onto a button):

The back of the Vida:

My model in her first, but definitely not last, Vida -- note the straps are pinned b/c they are way too long and I didn't have time to move the buttons b/f school started:

BIG HUGE THANKS to LisaZoe and Stephres as their tutorials were beyond awesome -- I incorporated bits of both of them. And of course Heather as well for the applique tute.

I already received three compliments on the dress from just dropping my daughter off at school this morning, one being from her teacher who sews and sews well enough that she makes wedding dresses!

 

[NaeNae]

Please pray for DGD3, Araeyah. She is having surgery today to put tubes back in both ears, her tonsils and part of her adenoids removed. They can only take part of her adenoids out or she would have an open cleft palette. She has a submucus cleft palette and the only thing closing it is her adenoides. She fights like H*LL when she comes out of anesthesia. DD, GoofyG, is not looking forward to that part.

Cute as can be! And yes, I do need to make some things for my ds as well. Dresses are just much more fun. The bowling shirt will be my next purchase though.

Just adorable and your applique is really good -- I always have little blips in mine.


NINI Have a wonderful trip! And I'm sorry about the accident involving your dd and the circumstances. I'm just glad she's not physically hurt and hopefully everything will get straightened out -- chances are it will end up being a "no fault" accident to *protect* the police officer that caused it.

TERESA Your Lilo skirt is so cute and I think it looks great on Arminda. I had no clue Lilo liked Elvis, but truth be told, I have never seen Lilo and Stitch. The O'hana's breakfast sounded good though so I asked my kids if they knew Lilo and Stitch and they too were clueless. It comes on at 5:30am here so I guess that explains it.

Awesome job. Love the bright colours. I'm sure you will get tons more compliments everytime she wears it.

Oooh, doesn't sound like fun. Praying all goes well and she wakes up like the calm little angel she is.

Prayers said. I fight when I come out of anesthesia too, so I know how she feels.

Exactly! And we all know how cheap the food is at Disney! I know they're losing a lot of money by doing the right thing by accommodating allergies! And, frankly, it is a very poor business decision, in my opinion. Either accommodate the guests, or face a law suit for not doing so. Or, worse yet, have someone become very ill from an allergic reaction to food because they're trying to avoid the extra fee and sue Disney because of the illness!

I can totally see that happening! I can't even tell you how much more gluten free items are then their gluten counterparts! It is unreal!

This is what I have been working on for the past few days. Now that all of our activities have started back, I don't have much time to sew. I am so glad these patterns are so easy.

prayers said! When Kyle had his tonsils and Adenoids out it was AWFUL seeing him com out of anesthesia! I was holding him as they where wheeling him back to his recovery room and he was screaming for me and I was right there and he couldn't tell. He was in pain and wanted me and didn't know I was there. It hurts me to this day thinking about it. Poor guy had to have some more morphine to help with the pain and calm him down. The nurse said all kids are like that but I think she was saying t to make me feel better.

Great dress! The applique looks good to me. I've found that once I step back for a bit, the 'mistakes' I saw as I was making something are far less noticeable & often disappear completely.

Great work! Your daughter is beautiful!
Where can I find the tutorials by LisaZoe and Stephres? Thank-you!

Thanks My daughter actually seems a bit blurry in the pictures ~ likely the fault of my camera that I continually hate more and more but also possibly b/c while dd is cute, she can't sit still.

Here are the tutorials -- Stephres has hers in four parts so you may have to scroll around in her blog a bit to find them. Both had really great tips and explanations.

Wishing your little baby does great for her surgery and recovery. It has to be awful to see someone so young have to go through a surgery. Hopefully you'll have awesome nurses as that will make all the difference in the world
