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

Not open for further replies.
I finally decided to buy the Carla C a-line. I felt guilty doing it, because I have another a-line pattern that is supposed to be so easy. I am so glad I did. Cutting out the pattern and making the dress took me about two hours. The other one would take me all day. Here is Maddie in her new dress. Sleeping beauty is her favorite princess.

I need to go to bed soon. I have to wake up at 5:00 for ADR's. For those of you who have used the website to make ADR's, is it easy?

So cute, I really love the trim on the pants
 
I must be the height of fashion, because my first post of the new thread is on page 55.

The reason that I have not been posting is because we have been going through this major ordeal in our house. We have been debating back and forth and back and forth on whether or not to move out of the state that we live in. After several months we have decided that we will definitely be moving out of state. We have yet to figure out where to move to. We were going to move to Indiana at the end of this month, but due to DH not finding a job there and not having enough money for more than just one month's income we have decided that we will not be moving at the end of this month and have now decided that we do not want to move to Indiana at all. (Does your head hurt yet? Cuz mine does) DH is now leaning towards us moving to FL in the Orlandoish area. He is convinced that he would be able to find a job there faster than he could in Indiana, due to all of the hotels, shops, restaurants, and of course amusement parks. He really likes to work customer service so I think that that is a good place to look, however it has one of the things that I so desperately want to get away from: The HEAT!!! Anyways long post over. If anyone has any ideas please feel free to clue me in one them.

I have not sewn anything. I was supposed to make a Molly dress for Jenna for tomorrow. I now have an hour and a half to get it done and I don't see that happening, because it is only cut out and it has a lot of curvy parts. I'll post it when I finally do get it done, though.[/QUO

I hope everything will work out for you, I'm sure all will be fine:goodvibes
 
OT, but could use a little hug...

So, as y'all know, we had to cancel our trip that we should be on now due to my DH getting a pay cut and both DD and DH having hospitalizations this year. So we rebooked for Dec., but I still haven't gotten a job, and going over the finances last night we really can't possibly justify a trip:sad2: so no Disney at Christmas. The silver lining on that is that the kids didn't know about it anyway, I have a wedding that I can book the cake for, and hey, they're already excited it's Christmas kwim?

So we're looking at our usual time next fall; I'm ok, although not thrilled, but then DH reminds me of the other part of the silver lining when he says, "hey, won't harry potter be open at Universal by then? We can just add a day and stay there for a night first." After I get my breath back after him mentioning the park which must not be named, I start thinking, yeah, actually, that's not so bad.

But, and I know this is stupid, I'm really sorry to have to cancel- again. Anyway, I'm done whining now. Thanks for being sooooooo patient with me.:flower3:

I'm so sorry you can't go for Christmas :hug:. We're really only going thanks to the military passes (and actually that was the only way I could convince dh to go). I am trying to make the most of our short trip since I doubt we'll go again anytime soon (we have a house we couldn't sell and are currently renting it -- at a loss -- but our renters leave next fall and we will hit financial rock bottom shortly after that. Aside from our Disney trip and our children's education I'm trying not to make any frivolous expenditures (aside from the fabric stores).

So for now, just budget what you can and save what you can so you will have a super trip next fall. And hopefully you'll hear about that job soon and not be able to get any time off this Dec anyway!

I don't envy you going back to nursing after 10 years. I used to be an RN (last worked in '94 as an RN). I kept my license for a while but eventually let it expire. So much changes so fast in the medical field that I think it would be hard to go back. I have a hard enough time keeping up with my current profession while working part time.
 
OK let me try this again! Grrrr my computer keeps freezing and I have to hit control-alt-delete which make me lose everything! Good news though is I finally finished organizing pics on photobucket! I had to go thru pics from 2006 upto 2009! I also went pro! No ads!

Anyways, I have been lurking and watching all of the great outfits posted...even if I can't comment. I have been sewing a little bit lately. I hope I can finish everything before our trip! 54 more sewing days left!! :cool1:


OK if you're on FB you've seen these already...I took way to many pics. Sorry!
(This is the Feliz pattern and I used Trillium's tutorial to make it.)

De-lurking for a minute..FWIW, living in Central Florida and dealing with the heat isn't like dealing with the heat in the rest of the world. We're equipped for it, you live in AC, drive a car with AC and shop/work/school in AC. It's only hot when you're outside...and we don't do alot of that unless it involves a pool in the warmest months, lol! I've got AP's, but rarely make it to WDW in the summer, it's too hot and crowded...so here's your bonus...FL discounts and the ability to go whenever you like, even late some afternoon just because you want to (or because you've got a craving for a Dole Whip!) I moved here 20 years ago from Maine, and I will admit my first summer was the warmest, but I got used to it. Now the cold bothers me more than the heat. It was fun to call my northern friends on New Years day and tell them I went to the beach. :)
 
Well, thanks all for not being so chatty yesterday. My computer went down and we could not get online for the whole day. :scared1:

I have finally come to the conclusion that I will never catch back up---sigh! I have 13 days and TONS of things left to do. I should be excited but all I feel is stress. I have tons of orders and am so worried taht I won't get everything done. I ordered teh kids some stuff even to take some of the load off me (THANKS JESSICA!) I won't be on much but plase send sewing pixie dust my way, I need it!

You can do it!! I am sending sewing dust your way!!

Stupid me -- I want to knot the ties through the button holes and failed to mention that. But now that you mention testing on scraps that solves the problem -- I'll just do some in various sizes and see what works best. It's been a long time since I made button holes so I'll need to practice on scraps anyway.

Don't make that buttonhole too big. You will be tying your strap in a knot, so do that first and then with scrap fabric, make a couple of sizes of button holes to decide which will work best for you. The first one I did, I made it too big and had to double knot the strap!:lmao:

Seriously...my computer DOES NOT LIKE ME!!!!


2nd try at a post...


I am in the process of washing three Cabbage Patch dolls! My DD9 just let me know she is slightly jealous of my GD2. I made her CP doll matching outfits for our trip IN TWO WEEKS!! So I now have to make another set of matching outfits for DD9's doll. Did I mention I am leaving in TWO WEEKS!? After the washing, she will have to make the decision which one gets to make their first (and probably ONLY) trip to Disney!

Seriously I figure this will be the last time DD9 wants to take a doll with her on a trip, so I guess I'm ok with it. Just wished she had made this decision a couple weeks ago when I was making the first set!

Now, only 13 more Tshirts, 2 Princess dresses and a whole doll wardrobe to go and I will be finished sewing for this trip...did I mention I am leaving in TWO WEEKS?!

Not stressed MUCH??!!

Nini

PS...did I mention I leave in TWO WEEKS??!!

Take a deep breath!! Now, how about pillowcase for those cabbage patch dolls? Just use the same fabric from your DD's outfits and life should be good. So, now you need to make 2 T's a day, then that gives you time for your princess outfits. You can do this!!!

I want to thank everyone here for the amazing amount of talent and inspiration. I don't think I would have ever made these outfits without you.

I'm not thrilled with Vidia. I may add a ruffle to the top. If my little one would pull her pants up to where they should be, so much of her belly wouldn't show. I think it's kind of cute, but dh hasn't seen it yet and I think he wont like it.

Neither girl has wings yet. That will be this weekends project. We leave for Disney next Saturday!

IMG_4400.jpg

All the outfits are cute! This is my favorite! Maybe put a long tank top under your DD's outfit and make her tuck it in?? Otherwise, so cute!

5 hours later and still getting my A$$ kicked by the embroidery machine. DH has stepped up and now helping me with the design. He has mastered the layout and now I am trying to get the split hoop to line up.

Please offer suggestions on a split hoop design. How to re hoop the second time to get it to line up.

Digitizing is NOT easy. It is a whole new way of thinking and just give it time. I always say its because I am old, but I spent 2 days trying to digitize a simple saying. So I LOVE Heather, Dena, and all those who do digitize!! Just take it slowly and in the meantime, don't be so very hard on yourself.

Okay I talked to my gal at the local shop. She said for you to mark the center left to right with a chalk pencil if you're working on dark material or a water soluable pen. You should have a plastic grid that lays inside of you hoop that is used for lining things up. You line the line on your material with the cross line on the grid. When you move your hoop you realign the line on your fabric with the grid again. That way it should line up for you. Make sure you remove the grid before stitching.

If you want to pm me your phone # I can give you a call and see if I can be of any further help.

LOL, I have no idea what you said! :rotfl2::rotfl2: Maybe that is why I am so happy to have people who digitize!!

Please ignore the lines. DS has taken my sewing marker so I used permanent as this was a test.
IMG_4352.jpg

Pathetic that it took 8 hours to figure out how to do this:headache:

Looks great!!

I think I finally got it to the right setting. Sheesh. :rolleyes1

Whenever my tension is off, I go visit my sewing machine shop!

Well, the girls did a half decent job cleaning their room yesterday, and since we had to go out today to do school shopping I surprised them with this:

lizponyomovie1.jpg


Yes, she finally got to see the movie! I told her I was just having her wear the tunic because it was new and she hadn't gotten to wear it yet. They were all surprised when we pulled up and it was "Ponyo!" finally showing in our town. They did really like the movie. It was adorable, though "Spirited Away" is still my favorite! :)

A few more random shots...thought y'all might get a kick out of how my diva dressed herself today, complete with matching purse, clip in pink and black hair streak and and sparkling shoes:

hannahponyo.jpg

In case you missed it before, here's almost a shot of the back (and I just think it's cute how Emmy and Hannah were walking):
lizponyomovie3.jpg

So cute and I think they had a great time!! I love how your Diva dresses!!

Here's the Vida I made for my tomboy's first day of school. She'll wear a dress as long as she likes the fabrics. She LOVES dogs so she loved the dog fabric that I got from fabricsgalore but I was worried she wouldn't like the floral that I got at JoAnns but she loved that too.

So cute!!

I finally decided to buy the Carla C a-line. I felt guilty doing it, because I have another a-line pattern that is supposed to be so easy. I am so glad I did.

I need to go to bed soon. I have to wake up at 5:00 for ADR's. For those of you who have used the website to make ADR's, is it easy?

So cute and I saw later that you got all your ressies!

I should have also added...is there a good place from which to order the accessories?

I get all my accessories at Joanns. This is a great weekend to stock up with the notions wall being buy one get one free. I always stock up on the 50% off notions sales! I am in the minority here, but I buy my thread at Joanns too. I really stock up when the thread is 50% off too. Someone mentioned that you also need the curved sewing scissors. They are the BEST!
This is what i have and they are on sale for 18ish.
Well since I can't get the image to show here is the listing. If this shouldn't be here, let me know
Okay, that image didn't work either.... the ones i have are gingher 6" applique scissors.
You also need some kind of glue to hold the fabric down before the shape is stitched down. I use a fabric glue and I also use spray glue. Both are in the stabilizer section at Joanns. Also make sure you have some ball point needles for embroidering on T's. My shop said make sure the sizes are between 11 & 14. For stabilizers, I get cut away, tear off, and sticky. I actually use the sticky the most. When I do T's. I "float" my fabric very carefully on top of the sticky. You don't want to stretch your fabric, so just gently lay it on the sticky stabilizer and then carefully smooth it out. I mark with a pin the middle of the shirt at the neckline & the hem, and line those up with the marks on the hoop to make sure its centered. Probably way too much info here. Sorry to be rambling!

OT, but could use a little hug...

So, as y'all know, we had to cancel our trip that we should be on now due to my DH getting a pay cut and both DD and DH having hospitalizations this year. So we rebooked for Dec., but I still haven't gotten a job, and going over the finances last night we really can't possibly justify a trip:sad2: so no Disney at Christmas. The silver lining on that is that the kids didn't know about it anyway, I have a wedding that I can book the cake for, and hey, they're already excited it's Christmas kwim?

So we're looking at our usual time next fall; I'm ok, although not thrilled, but then DH reminds me of the other part of the silver lining when he says, "hey, won't harry potter be open at Universal by then? We can just add a day and stay there for a night first." After I get my breath back after him mentioning the park which must not be named, I start thinking, yeah, actually, that's not so bad.

But, and I know this is stupid, I'm really sorry to have to cancel- again. Anyway, I'm done whining now. Thanks for being sooooooo patient with me.:flower3:

Sorry, but I am happy you are looking at the silver lining!

So my hubby's birthday was on friday. He came home from work and said he wanted to go to Mimi's for dinner. Yummy, but he didn't get his bottom in gear. And then I remembered, he needed to go to Disneyland to get his birthday gift from Disney! So we jumped in the car, drove down to Disneyland, parked in downtown disney parking for free, (bad I know) went to get his gift card, renewed my pass with his birthday gift, went in to have dinner at his favorite resturant in Disneyland, watched fire works and came home! Now he keeps teasing me that his birthday card bought my ticket! :yay::yay: So its Disney season again in our house!!

The fires in Los Angeles are 50% contained. Too bad they are now in the mountains behind where I live. We woke up to smoke in the house again. I will be so happy when this fire is really all out.

I plan to sew today. I made a cuties appliqued T yesterday and almost threw my machine out the window along with the T shirt. On the very first step, my new ball point needle broke. I fixed that, then the glue I used for the face fabric (light colored) showed a dark spot. I didn't know if I picked up a black thread under the light colored fabric or if the glue had changed color. I tried to get under it but couldn't. SOOO then I thought I was being smart and double layered the face fabric. Would have worked fine but again, I used the wrong stitiching to stitch it down. So when I was finished, thread was showing out in weird places. :headache: So I went to Target last night, bought another T and will try this again. If I actually finish it today, I should have some pictures.

Hope everyone has a great labor day tomorrow!!!
 
I really like my new a-line pattern. This is what I made today.
101_4916.jpg


Now, I want to make something for Abbie, my eleven year old. She likes the round neck. Is this pattern as easy as the other ones?
 
I bought the plastic prewound bobbins, a gross of them. I also ordered the 61 threads with holder and then the Brother Disney colours thread. I need a good pair of little curved scissors to cut close on applique. I go thru a ton of stabilizer and I feel I need different kinds like solvy and some sticky for towels.

Finally a huge amount of patience. Either that or a glass of wine to go with my whine!

Congrats on Igor and that is the perfect name.

April, where did you order your notions/accessories from?

OK let me try this again! Grrrr my computer keeps freezing and I have to hit control-alt-delete which make me lose everything! Good news though is I finally finished organizing pics on photobucket! I had to go thru pics from 2006 upto 2009! I also went pro! No ads!

Wow Cathy! I'm pretty sure I commented on facebook but I'll do it again. Love the Belle dress! The preschool dress is great too! Love the around the world dresses and oufits, I cannot wait to use my fabric for our trip this spring. And I don't think you look like a dork! How cool that you won that bag! That's great!
 
Here are some questions I have for everyone.....feel free to answer!


1. I am looking for some The Nightmare Before Christmas hairbows..........anyone know where I can find them?

2. For those of you who buy jewelry to match your customs, who are your favorite sellers?

3. I know someone did the "blinged" out converse tennis shoes....how did you do them? Does anyone know how to put the designs on the toes that say Boo, or Ho Ho Ho?


Thanks for all of the help!
 
SERGER HELP PLEASE!

I just bought a Brother 1034D and signed up for a serger class. Got to class, got my machine threaded, tried to serge a chain... lower looper thread snapped. Tried again, same thing. Tried again, same thing. I literally threaded, unthreaded, and rethreaded this stupid machine 40 times in two hours. The instructor tried too, no dice.

Did I just get a lemon?? So many glowing reviews online for this machine, and I know some of you DISer ladies have the same machine... help! Should I just return it and get another? Or is there some little tip or trick I don't know that would make it work correctly? Or should I just acknowledge that I'm hopeless and give up completely????

One small silver lining... if this one is just a lemon and I replace it with one that works, I will no longer be intimidated by the prospect of threading it... I've now threaded the darn thing so many times I could do it blindfolded!
 
Awesome work as always, everyone!! You really give me something to work towards. I just bent my last needle, so I'm stuck until I head out tomorrow. I was making a little drawstring backpack for DNiece for WDW, and when I was going in reverse to reinforce (I don't know the real lingo yet), I heard the horrible smack! I was on the last seam, so I'll probably just finish it by hand tonight. I can't do anything fancy with my machine without breaking or bending a needle. :laughing: Don't tell me that reverse isn's fancy!! :lmao: I should probably take a sewing basics class or something.

Anyway, I'm hoping to get most of our trip stuff finished this week so I'm not going crazy during the last week before the trip. I try to spend that weeking tying up loose ends and cleaning house so we don't come home to a mess.

Keep posting pics, everyone, as I definitely need the inspiration to get past my needle killing!!
 
Cathy- love your outfits. You have been really busy!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Anyone have a Brother 350 SE? I have a basic sewing machine and this one is computerized. There is a used on on Craigslist. Does it do your buttonholes for you?

I love how easy this machine is to thread. I had trouble at first until I realized that the I had the thread too tight. There is a white button or sorts on top of the machine for the tension and I think I was releasing it before I had enough of the thread through it. Does that make sense?

I had the foot lever break on me. But I was told at the shop that it would cost more to fix it then to buy a new one. But I've had no trouble threading, so I'm just dealing with it until I can afford a more sturdy machine.
 
Darn it! I was just about to make my eyelet bloomers for Violette's Minnie dress I finished today, and I ran out of the part I needed! I cut out one leg and then I went to cut the other but ran out :( I only need like 2 more inches! Sigh...I hate when that happens. I was getting all excited to finally finish an outfit! Guess I gotta make a trip to Joann's tomorrow.

Here's close-ups of the ruffles and fabric...I used Jennifer Paganelli fabrics mostly except for two princess ruffles. It was so easy to work with!

Oh in case someone wants to know...the embroidery designs were from a set I bought from Diva Duds on etsy. (am I allowed to say that?). Anyways they stitched out perfectly!

Ok I better stop cause I have a million more pics...lol :rotfl:

Lets see...here is a recycled Tinkerbelle...I still have to make a peasant top and capris for under the dress...we hope to meet the faries in Toon town in these...(These are all Carla's patterns)

Lets see what else...oh I made tees for DD11 and I for Epcot. DD is going to wear leggins with her tee since it is really long. I am going to wear these capris....hopefully I wont be too dorky! We will match the little girls...(the girls are in Carla's Simply Sweet dresses)

:hug: Hope you are all having a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend!!! :lovestruc

I really like my new a-line pattern. This is what I made today.

Now, I want to make something for Abbie, my eleven year old. She likes the round neck. Is this pattern as easy as the other ones?
Oh my gosh, that is so cute!
 
OK let me try this again! Grrrr my computer keeps freezing and I have to hit control-alt-delete which make me lose everything! Good news though is I finally finished organizing pics on photobucket! I had to go thru pics from 2006 upto 2009! I also went pro! No ads!

Anyways, I have been lurking and watching all of the great outfits posted...even if I can't comment. I have been sewing a little bit lately. I hope I can finish everything before our trip! 54 more sewing days left!! :cool1:


OK if you're on FB you've seen these already...I took way to many pics. Sorry!
(This is the Feliz pattern and I used Trillium's tutorial to make it.)
