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

[HeatherSue]

I took Sawyer down to the preschool today to meet the teacher and observe the class. We both loved it! Sawyer was so cute. He didn't cling to me at all (he is nothing like his sister in that respect) and he wanted to participate in everything they were doing. It was great! His first day is going to be next Tuesday. We're so excited!

Thanks for the comments on the tie dye shirts. The resist is a product by Tulip that I found at Michaels in the tie dye section. It does what it's name implies and resists dye in the section that it is painted. The eeyore stencil I made by finding a jpeg that I liked online and took it into photoshop and tweeked it. I then cut it out on my cricut. OH CRICUT QUEEN WHERE ARE YOU? The tink was on one of my cricut cartridges. I cut out the stencil on vinyl and stuck the vinyl to the shirt. Painted my resist on. Waited for it to try completely. Took the stencil off and proceeded to tie dye. I layed the shirts flat to dye because I didn't know if it would mess up the resist or not if I swirled or crumpled the shirt up. I think they turned out pretty good for my first attempt. If I do another one like my eeyore, I'll dye it in a tub so that the color is consistant. And if I did the tink again I'd put a darker color in the middle so you could see tink better. I'll definately be doing more shirts!!

Wow, that sounds easy enough. They turned out so cute! Now I just need to figure out how to tie dye!

I love the outfits! The preschool one is my favorite- so sweet! Megan's room is such a pretty color! I love her baby bed. That scroll work on it is beautiful!

We're going back...well I already knew that...but last night we nailed down our dates and our resort. We liked staying at ASMU last year in the suite, but I decided that we could stay at POR cheaper and Katie wants to sleep in the trundle. Plus, I like the idea of staying at a differnt resort too! We have no issue all 5 of us in one room. So...I gave the numbers to Tim last night and he said ok! So today...I got a ticker!!!!! That is a good thing and a scary thing! Only 9 months!!!! AAAAAAHHH!!!!

Oh yeah, I'll banana with you! That is GREAT! So, what are your dates (It might have been in your ticker, but I can't see it when I'm replying)?
------------

In case you're wondering, I'm slacking. I should be digitizing or testing some designs. But, here I sit!

 

[emcreative]

psst...heather...as of this morning, I'm one step closer to paying for that half of your left eye!

We are going the week of June 13...now that may not be my only trip....there are rumors we may have another trip...well I may have another trip with just Tim in February...that is not anywhere near firm and I may have to lie to my kids to go! But as for the for sure trip, we are going back in June again, the week the kids get out of school. And we will be celebrating our anniversary just a few weeks early since we cancelled our trip to Niagra Falls...we had always going back for our 10 year anniversary...but I'll take WDW!!!

I haven't posted in forever, but I kept meaning to! Stuff kept happening, and I fell farther and farther behind and then totally gave up on reading everything I'd missed.

OOH OOOH OOH!!! I LOOOOVE that!!! These are so cool!!!


I'm here! Although I think I'll head to bed now!

I haven't been on much, because a friend of our family (I took care of their kids for many years) died on Saturday. He fought stage 4 colorectal cancer for the past year and a half. We went to the funeral today and yesterday (Monday) was visitation at their house. They released 51 balloons on monday, one for each year of his life. It was really beautiful. I posted pics on Facebook. i feel so bad for the family.

Teresa, so sorry to hear about your friend.

We have had a busy summer and it has been so hard to keep up with this thread. Everything I have seen looks great.

First day of preschool (her second year though)
Perfectly Preppy flouncy skort

Halloween

and just a set for fall
Molly top and easy fit pants

Plus we have been getting ready for our newest family member. DH painted the room and set up the crib last weekend. Time is flying by and she will be here before we know it.

Everything looks so cute and I love the toile bedding!

Tons of great stuff earlier, too, like:

The Star Wars dress and Pink Tink, Lily's orange Halloween dress with her matching shoes, the ballerina set, and of course the applique/embroidered scallopini with Cinderella top Tessa was wearing (wow that was stunning!).

 

[Jennia]

Here's some of the stuff I've done since my super long time not posting! On July 25th we had dd's second birthday party, it was a Pink Poodles in Paris theme.
First, I made eight poodle bracelets for each of the girls coming (okay I really made like 12, but I trusted DH to drill the first four I'd made and he ruined all of them lol!):

Then I made 24 bags of chocolate, each one had a pink, white, and brown chocolate Eiffel Tower in it (I used a soap mold):

Here were all of the favors in the dining room:

I also made a poodle cake:

And, this week, I finished dd's first nightgown:

 

[anggye]

I finally get the nerve up to post after lurking for a year and a half, and then so many things come up, I don't have time to post

I have been trying to pack and sew because after we move we only have about 2 weeks 'til our trip

I finished a couple customs. I wasn't sure about the leggings, but I like it.
Ever since I saw Tom's Feliz, I have been dying to make a steamboat Willie outfit. I made one for Abbey, but she'll have to get home from school to model

 

[jenb1023]

WASH IT FIRST Always wash your fabric first. That way if it's going to fade or bleed it won't do it on any accompaning fabric. Also if it is going to shrink it's better to do it before than after the garment is sewn and then it's too little.

I second this!! i learned this lesson the hard way. We had an aline that only got worn once b/c it shrunk. Never again!!

I'm in full agreement with the other posters. Yes, always, always wash (washable) fabric first. I usually just wash fabric as soon as I bring it into the house. And I always buy a few inches over what I need as "insurance" against any shrinkage/fraying.

I agree with everyone else, you must wash it! A few months back I decided I wasn't going to prewash my fabric anymore. BIG mistake! I made 2 adorable outfits that Tessa won't be able to wear again because they shrunk after I washed them!

WASH IT!!
Or.. don't wash it, and then one day when your fabric shrinks a couple inches after you sewed it you will realize why we all said to wash it.

A few years ago I made my ds a very comlicated shirt (took hours from a commercial pattern). Had no clue to prewash. Not only was the pattern on the small size, the shirt shrunk and really faded. So not only wash, but wash in COLD and I also do not use fabric softener only b/c I read that somewhere on here. All that work and he wore the shirt maybe twice. I did sell it at a yard sale though and someone actually bought it -- my first sold custom for $1 LOL!

Thanks everyone for the advice and stories! I think I will keep washing the fabric before sewing. At least I think that is what you were all trying to tell me - it wasn't very clear.

So cute!! DD3 was a pink poodle her first halloween, so that theme is near and dear!! Her's a pic

 

[ibesue]

No, it's not a pillow case, I got the material from ebay. The pattern on the fabric was bigger that I expected it to be but I think it turned out ok and my DD is pleased. She thinks she is so special because mammy is making her dresses.
Here is a link
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-YARDS-3-PAN...c?hash=item51805655c3&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177

Glad you got the AC. I wish I needed one here............but hay, another day of downpours....we even had hailstones today and this is our summer!!!!! I'm so glad we will be in sunny florida in just over 2 weeks....I'm missing the sun.

Wow, I don't think I have ever seen that fabric. It is cute! I can't complain too much. This summer had been pretty mild. And I thought I had it planned so I would not be in the heat much. One week in San Diego (was nice) and then 2 weeks in Portland. It was their longest, hottest heat wave.... Lets just say, everyone in Portland was happy when I left!

I finished Hannah's ballet themed outfit! We didn't do a "photoshoot" like the other day, just grabbed a few pictures in the back yard. This was that $2 panel I posted up the other day, I just made the outfit up as I went along! It doesn't show up too well in these pictures, but the purple section has small white dots.

[/IMG]

OMGosh, you are so talented and creative!!! Love the ballet outfits!

Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunatly it is a bog standard sewing machine.....i'm working on DH to get me an embroidery machine.

I've had a look at heatherSue's applique tutorial and I had a do at putting a mickey head on a tshirt......it didn't go well.......looks pretty bad...i'm realy a novice to this sewing thing and I don't think I have the skills for this yet.....

thanks

That is cute, but since you are new and don't want to end up throwing your machine out the window, I would suggest trying it as an iron on! In the meantime, take scraps of fabric, use the correct stabilizer and just practice over & over. Start with a square, then a circle and so on. Or maybe have someone stitch it out for you and you can use it as an iron on?

Ok, here are the promised pics of the fairy dress, plus a couple others I have managed to finish between betting used to "big school" for DD, cheer practice and dance!

This is for Chef Mickey:

And a Star Wars Set

Sorry, my photo skills aren't the best, and the appliques don't show up the best. they are the lego star wars, and are much cuter in person!

All are so so cute!!!! I love them all!!!

Newbie Question!

Do I really need to wash all of my fabric before sewing? It seems to me it would be easier to sew with unwashed fabric because it is unwrinkled and the edges are not frayed so it is easier to measure, cut and match up. However everyone including Carla says to wash it first. What do you pros think?

YES!! I agree with all the PP who said to wash it first!

I actually have something to share for once. It's not sewing but it's crafty. The girls and I are starting some tie dye projects. Whatcha think????

Wow, I am impressed!!!

I haven't been on much, because a friend of our family (I took care of their kids for many years) died on Saturday. He fought stage 4 colorectal cancer for the past year and a half. We went to the funeral today and yesterday (Monday) was visitation at their house. They released 51 balloons on monday, one for each year of his life. It was really beautiful. I posted pics on Facebook. i feel so bad for the family.

I saw the pictures on facebook. I am so sorry for his family and friends. I will keep them in my prayers.

Hello all of you talented ladies!

I am VERY new to sewing... but I had a quick question.

I'm looking at purchasing an embroidery machine and wondered what you all thought of the Brother SE530 machine? Do any of you have it? Do you like it? Would you recommend a different machine?

Thanks for your input and I've been learning a TON just by reading through your posts. I hope someday I'm able to sew as well as you guys...

Try to get at least a 5 X 7 hoop size. You will be much happier with that!

FYI..


If there is anyone...like me...who was planning on purchasing this machine from that Home Shopping ...er place...they just announced that after their current supply of 20 machines were gone, they would not be getting them back in this year...also they are offering free shipping this month on all sewing machines...


Really bums me out...I was planning on purchasing after we got back from Disney...Already have hubby talked into it, have my discount codes all set to go.. but won't have the money until after Disney....

I guess it is time to go back to my room and cry again. Then off to try to find my princess dress fabric...again! (I really don't want to have to drive all the way to Atlanta to shop...oh well.

Nini

So sad... but I see someone directed you to a much better option!!! Saving money and getting it after your trip!!

We have had a busy summer and it has been so hard to keep up with this thread. Everything I have seen looks great.

First day of preschool (her second year though)

Well, it looks like you have been very busy!! All so cute and your babies room is so pretty!!

I wanted to share this link with you guys:
http://www.disneyventures.com/

It's a new website with finished trip reports. This way, you can go there and search through trip reports by the date of the trip and you will know that they are done (no disappointing 1/2 trip reports. Yeah, I mean you DisUnc).

So far, there are only two trip reports- mine and the person who started the website. But, she wanted me to ask my friends to add theirs, too. So, contact her if you're interested. I think it could be a really neat site!

Sounds like a good idea to me!

I took Sawyer down to the preschool today to meet the teacher and observe the class. We both loved it! Sawyer was so cute. He didn't cling to me at all (he is nothing like his sister in that respect) and he wanted to participate in everything they were doing. It was great! His first day is going to be next Tuesday.

Awww, I can't believe he is starting pre school already!! I never had that kid that wanted to play and do everything. How neat!!
And there are those on here who want you to be well rested and are not in a hurry for your Christmas designs. I am happy you are here visiting with us! And, well, I haven't even gotten it together for Halloween, how could I be looking to Christmas already!

Wow, that party looks amazing!! Great job!! So what did she wear to the party? I have some Eiffel Tower fabric that would have been perfect!!

Well, now that my downstairs is nice and cool, I plan to sew all day!!

 

[momtoprincess A]

OK here is the outfit I worked on for the last two days. She agreed to put the jeans on only for the pics.

Here is the skirt I made on the weekend. I want to try appliqueing a fairy on the shirt but I have to wait until I get my other machine working.

[HeatherSue]

I used the tween flare skirt pattern (bought it on etsy, but you can get it on youcanmakethis) to make Tessa an Ariel skirt. She wanted an actual tail, but I was hoping to make something that she could wear outside of Disney! I found this fabric a while back on clearance at JoAnn and immediately knew I would be making something Ariel-ish with it.

Here's what I came up with.

I found the sparkly tank top that matched it perfectly at KMart!

I thought the flare at the bottom made it look tail-like.

Just because, here she is hugging her brother.

---------

It was nice to do something easier and straight forward after the last 2 outfits.

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Well, I have been trying to get some things accomplished but I have not been very successful. I have been reading a blog perhaps you have read it before? It is nieniedialogues.com

Anyways, I love all the latest creations. Very beautiful all of them.

I need some help from Karen, The Queen of the Cricut!

KAREN!

Sorry to summons you so loudly, but I am having difficulty with my Cricut and I need to finish this project and get it cleaned off my Kitchen Table

I was trying to make this

I was using the Cricut and everything was going along quite well I cut out all of the items you see there.

Then it started doing this.

I have tried cutting other numbers, I have changed the blade, I turned the pressure down.

Can you offer me any suggestions?

 

[HeatherSue]

psst...heather...as of this morning, I'm one step closer to paying for that half of your left eye!

Really?? Did you order a machine?

We are going the week of June 13...now that may not be my only trip....there are rumors we may have another trip...well I may have another trip with just Tim in February...that is not anywhere near firm and I may have to lie to my kids to go! But as for the for sure trip, we are going back in June again, the week the kids get out of school. And we will be celebrating our anniversary just a few weeks early since we cancelled our trip to Niagra Falls...we had always going back for our 10 year anniversary...but I'll take WDW!!!

June 13 is Sawyer's birthday. Therefore, I think you should take us with you!

How cool that you might be planning two trips! I'm already trying to figure out when we can go back again and he we haven't even left yet!

and of course the applique/embroidered scallopini with Cinderella top Tessa was wearing (wow that was stunning!).

I am flattered that you mentioned that one. Thank you!

What a fabulous party! I love the bracelets, the chocolate, the cake, everything!!

The nightgown is so cute. So is your sweet little DD! I love the birthday outfit, too.

That is adorable! Great job! I like the leggings with it, too.

Thanks everyone for the advice and stories! I think I will keep washing the fabric before sewing. At least I think that is what you were all trying to tell me - it wasn't very clear.

Yeah, sometimes we can be a little vague.

Tessa would have hated preschool. But, I thought it was something Sawyer would like. Judging from how he acted today, I think I was right. He even wanted me to leave!

That poodle fabric is SO cool! I love what you did with it, too! I think it'll be really cute without the jeans, too. Then, she can wear the jeans with the shirt if she doesn't feel like wearing a skirt!

I love the fabrics you chose for the fairy skirt. So pretty!

Seriously, she has got to wear the jeans. I love the skirt you made her, too. Honestly, it looks like a tiered top because it's so far above the knee. I'm sure when it gets a little colder she'll come around- heck, she has to, 'cause it's just Too cute!!

Thanks! Guess I should have thought to put in a photo of her party outfit, lol! I didn't make anything due to time issues and not finding material I loved (I was working 12 hour days for like a month, it was awful). Here she is:

I think it's absolutely 100% perfect for ariel! I wish my Joann's had had that fabric; and the flare on the skirt is reminiscent (sp?) of a tail without being too little girl costumy.

Well, I have been trying to get some things accomplished but I have not been very successful. I have been reading a blog perhaps you have read it before? It is nieniedialogues.com

Anyways, I love all the latest creations. Very beautiful all of them.

I need some help from Karen, The Queen of the Cricut!

KAREN!

Sorry to summons you so loudly, but I am having difficulty with my Cricut and I need to finish this project and get it cleaned off my Kitchen Table

I was trying to make this

I was using the Cricut and everything was going along quite well I cut out all of the items you see there.

Then it started doing this.

I have tried cutting other numbers, I have changed the blade, I turned the pressure down.

Can you offer me any suggestions?

I'm not Karen, but have you tried resetting your paper size more to the left? and if you have a new mat, maybe trying that? It may be slightly lifting on the edge, but also it seems to be cutting right over the edge. If you move the paper size to the left it should keep the edge from getting caught in the cut.

I used the tween flare skirt pattern (bought it on etsy, but you can get it on youcanmakethis) to make Tessa an Ariel skirt. She wanted an actual tail, but I was hoping to make something that she could wear outside of Disney! I found this fabric a while back on clearance at JoAnn and immediately knew I would be making something Ariel-ish with it.

Here's what I came up with.

I found the sparkly tank top that matched it perfectly at KMart!

I thought the flare at the bottom made it look tail-like.

Just because, here she is hugging her brother.
