Disboutiquers Part 18 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Would Pluto look funny if he were made out if yellow Minnie Dot? I am making a 4x4 cutie pluto of HeatherSue's. I used the yellow Minnie DOt for Mickey's shoes.

In my attempt to make this a totally Heather/Teresa page, I will post some things I've made recently. Here are my CarlaC Easy Fit Pants for adults!!!! This pattern is just as easy and fast as the kid's pattern and oh-so-comfy!! I live in these pants!

Here's an Incredibles shirt I made for a Big Give. It was a last minute thing, so I used the test stitch for this design and just sewed it on as a patch.

I also wanted to show you all Tessa's new bed. This thing is AWESOME!!! I've been looking on craigslist for the last year and finally found the perfect bed for a great price! It would have been better if it looked like a castle, but we'll take it! It was perfect timing because Henry picked it up on Saturday and that's the same day Tessa came down with the flu. So, she's spent a lot of time laying in her new bed, resting. Here are some pictures:

In this one, you can see the little doors on the side that lead to a play area underneath the bed:

You can also see her pretty pink puke bucket on the desk. Luckily, she's only thrown up once.

The stairs have drawers in them and there are tons of drawers and shelves all over the place! BTW, this is before she slept in it- we did put sheets on first!

Both the kiddos at the top. I got an extra tall bed rail to put on it after we took this picture.

OH MY Goodness...that is the most awesome bed....I drooled over it for a year!!! So glad you found it more reasonably on Craig's List!!! YIPPYYYY! Sorry Tessa has been using it so much. I love how she lined up the stuffies along the top!!! She is just the cutest!!! And Sawyer...can you tell him to stop growing taller every minute...how do you keep clothes on him that fit??? LOL
When I was at the hospital a few weeks ago, I snagged a new puke bucket! Those things are awesome...for catching puke! LOL. Ack!
But anyways, I love the pj pants!!! I am really looking forward to doing PJ for Christmas for everyone...going to Joann's next weekend!!! yaa!!! What a cute Incredibles Tee too!! I bet it will be loved!!!

 

[teresajoy]

I didn't notice that until you pointed it out!! ****-a-poos are great!! I loved the ****-a-poo we had as kids, didn't you love our ****-a-poo?


Thanks!!! I am getting really stir-crazy and would love to leave the house!! I haven't went anywhere except to take the kids to the doctor since last Friday- not even to my mom's house next door!

Tessa is much better, but Sawyer is still pretty miserable today.

Yes, I just loved our **** a poos, **** a poos are the best dogs EVER!!! Nothing beats a sweet little coak a poo! RIP

I think Mom is missing you guys!

Poor Sawyer!

Oh No!! Teresa, are you going to leave me with hoop envy all by myself!!

Is there a "stitch down frame" for the 270D that will hold the fabric in place like some people have mentioned?

Oh no, I'm probably not going to be gettnig a bigger hoop anytime soon! I just like to look and dream!

I have one, I think it's on my other computer though. Send me your email address and I'll get it to you tomorrow.

My first Bowling Shirt! And my first FINISHED applique! Yay!!!

FABULOUS!!!! That really turned out great!!! And your son is as cute as can be!

Would Pluto look funny if he were made out if yellow Minnie Dot? I am making a 4x4 cutie pluto of HeatherSue's. I used the yellow Minnie DOt for Mickey's shoes.

I made one with small dots once, I thought it looked cute. I bet the bigger dots would look ok.

Hello All,

Just stoppin in to say hi and I am so excited and have so...so...so...much to do still before we leave! Only 7 days and I only have one dress finished (well 2 with Belle)! Still need to do the decopauge (sp?) jeans to match the Dress and applique a couple T's. And I really want to do one more custom. ugh....

Hope everyone is doing well...and I will have tons of pic's to share when we get back.

 

[Tweevil]

hi guys totally non disboutique pics here but a couple people said to post a pic so here goes... I just got the pics of the cake I was working on. I didn't take a pic but my sister did - the thing was 2-3 hours into the party. For a last minute, I don't want to do a black cake that glows, it didn't turn out too bad. The pics are blurry but you can kinda see the sparklies on the tiers. It doesn't look too big here but it was 12" 10" and a 8" on top. Graffiti, black, skulls, stars, and stuff... ugh.... But she was thrilled so that is what counts.
I am still practicing this as a hobby so I see allll the flaws.
Anyhoo... black light and disco dusts are pretty cool....

Thanks,

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Wow! I can't stop gushing over my new baby! I embelished DD3 - Evangeline -her own jean jacket. It was my DD1 first jacket with a Disney picture on it - ironed on poorly but she loved it then. I took the iron on off and re-did it for Evie. And I did it all today!
Here it is --

I kind of still think it needs something else to balance it out. NOt sure what though.....thinking maybe a Mickey made out of 3 buttons somewhere would look really cute - lime green buttons or bright blue might be better ---left side above the pocket.

WDYT?

HeatherSue - yes the girls bed is a BERG. retail was like $3100 before taxes, etc. Paid huge amt less - thank you Direct Buy!

Adorable! I love the sheen to the black fabric you used on Mickey. And HeatherSue's Pluto is so terribly cute!

I agree that the left front needs a little something. I like the idea of a Mickey head made with lime buttons, or I think a little ric rac would be cute -- maybe two strips vertical from the side of each pocket going down. Just try a few things and see what looks best. I would love to do jackets for my kids, but I am working hard to keep tham from a day of nakedness as is. I don't think I'll have time for jackets.

 

[lovesdumbo]

My first Bowling Shirt! And my first FINISHED applique! Yay!!!

Great job! Love the blow up turkey too.

Lucky, lucky you! Have fun. The bowling shirt turned out great!

Thank you!

Here are 2 things i made this week

I love the swirly fabric! The outfit is so pretty.

Cool! It sounds like you have an awesome trip planned, and I really, really love the shirt! Can I case it?

Thank you!! Feel free to case it...I got the idea from Stacy!

Good morning all!
Sorry I have been MIA! We just got back from WDW last Sat. We had a fabulous time We stayed at AKLV for the 1st time and we are in LOVE it was even better then the pictures! We got to spend a good portion of a day with Cathy (Twobe4him) we had such a great day with them! Our girls even did BBB together on Nikki's bday! Cathy and I cried walking down and empty main street! It was great to share that experience with her and her girls. No pictures yet we are having issues with some pictures. Hopefully this weekend we will have some.

We are already planing our trip back. Ok I am planing it This summer is hilton head then early March 2011 we head back to WDW hopefully with our best friends and their kids.

Everything is FABULOUS!

I made some of Carla's new easy fit pattern for adult right before I left ad I LOVE this new pattern! Carla is just amazing!

Welcome back, can't wait to see pictures!

This is FABULOUS, Jenny!! Wow!! How on earth did you make such a big filled applique look so nice?? Usually it would be all puckered up around the edges! Great job!

Thanks, Heather! I am afraid of how it will look after I put it in the wash...I might have to hand wash it?

I love the pictures of Tessa showing the princesses her shoes.

My first Bowling Shirt! And my first FINISHED applique! Yay!!!

Love it! It turned out great.

So as it turns out Brook doesn't have another ear infection yet. He said the one ear looked irritated though. The doc gave me a script but said to wait a day or two to fill it if need be. Thank goodness cause I hate trying to convince her to take meds...she throws up just about everything!

Jenny - That bowling shirt is just amazing! That filled mickey on the back is amazing....it must have taken forever to fill though! You have such great talent!! I am so excited you got to take a trip for Thanksgiving...and you got your ADR's!!! So where are you eating on Thanksgiving? Have a wonderful trip and surprise for the kids!!! [/SIZE][/COLOR]

Oh and I updated my blog....getting ready to do a trip report....maybe this weekend???

How exciting Jenny!!! Have a great time!

Thanks! We are eating at Boma for Thanksgiving. We will be at Animal Kingdom on Thanksgiving..don't want to fight the crowd at MK..so we decided on Boma..a late breakfast..so I guess we will be having Thanksgiving brunch. We have never been in November...so we are excited.

Wow! I can't stop gushing over my new baby! I embelished DD3 - Evangeline -her own jean jacket. It was my DD1 first jacket with a Disney picture on it - ironed on poorly but she loved it then. I took the iron on off and re-did it for Evie. And I did it all today!

QUESTION

I want to try a corset top and was looking for free instructions, so being an obedient disboutiquer I went to the bookmarks. Lisa Zoe has instructions but the pictures aren't in photo bucket anymore and I think I might need the pictures.

Does anyone know of any other sites or could give me some simple instructions. I think I just really want to do a corset to wear around a portrait peasant top, so I think a simple rectangular shape might work.

If anyone has any pictures they've done as such or ideas for me could you please post them -- I don't have time right now to search through the entire library of photos.

Thanks so much!

And I will get some photos posted on Monday while the kids are back in school. They will have had off a total of five days between Veteran's Day and our two storm days. I did manage to make a Jasmine applique yesterday with dd home -- if she saw it I was going to tell her I was making auntie a Jasmine wall hanging for Christmas, never mind that Auntie is 46 years old

I LOVE this jacket! You did a fantastic job!

Thanks to everyone for the kudo's on my first bowling shirt - you guys know how to make a gal feel good! I expect everything to look as good as when you experienced sewers have made it, and I get a little disappointed with all my mistakes - trying to perfect the perfectionist in me to bed and learn to let go!

 

[minnie2]

My first Bowling Shirt! And my first FINISHED applique! Yay!!!

Not the best ever, but not bad for a first effort - me (and my little guy!) are pleased....

The applique is supposed to say "Jack," but the font looks a little more like "Jdck" - live and learn, I guess...

Great job! I love the bowling shirt pattern it is one of my fav! Though I tend to say tat about every Carla pattern I am working on.

Question again? If I put a piece of fabric on a jacket or jeans and sew not the edge but a little away from the edge, how do I get it to fray?

Sorry to ask - I can not get the bookmark page to work - I keep getting error on page.
Thanks

I would think washing it would fray it.

And me too Marlo!!!....I really want to meet up again in 2011! If I can get a great deal on airfare...I will take a personal day and do a long weekend!!! But anyways, it was awesome meeting you and Nik and Kyle and G!!! You are so much fun and sweet and I just LOVED hanging out in the parks! I am dying to see your pics too!!! Maybe, if you want, you can add to my trip report and do a few installments??? I hope you get the pic problem ironed out!

So as it turns out Brook doesn't have another ear infection yet. He said the one ear looked irritated though. The doc gave me a script but said to wait a day or two to fill it if need be. Thank goodness cause I hate trying to convince her to take meds...she throws up just about everything!

Heather and Teresa - I hope the kids feel better fast! I think I had a mild flu when I had bronchitus afew weeks ago cause I was super sick and achey...it was terrible. Hugs to both of you caretakers too! Hope you get some rest!


Oh and I updated my blog....getting ready to do a trip report....maybe this weekend???

I can't wait for your TR! Though I have told you that I so hope G gets the computer working right so I can post the pictures! I still haven't see the ones I took the day with you!.
Maybe on adding to you tr with the day+ we where together If anything you can certainly use some of my pics

Glad Brook's ear wasn't a full blown infection.

Ooooh I love this! I agree it needs a little somethin somethin on the top left; I love your button mickey idea! But I agree blue or green would be awesome for it. or maybe a ribbon detail on the pocket or around the bottom; not needed but a possible "xtra". I really love it, especially the dotty pluto!

Help Please
i haven't yet figured out what to make for ryans classmates for the holidays. last year i did crayon rollups and this years teacher said she cant wait to see what i come up with. help help help. what are you making ? there are 22 kids in his class (1st grade)

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Thank you everyone on the compliments for the jacket! I have to see what else I like as to buttons and maybe some ricrac. I bought a Babylock Ellageo Plus for those who asked. My next project is a wrap top dress I said I was making for a bday back in August and then on to the 3 feliz dresses for Christmas --- I have a plan. Cut everything out first and then stitch! I am going to make the feliz pattern pieces out of posterboard so I can keep them nice. I think if it works well I may make them all out of posterboard from now on. I may get to cut out pattern pieces today. And maybe sew a little on Tuesday & Wednesday - hopefully by Saturday I will have the wrap mostly done if not all the way done. (It's good to set a goal even if it probably won't happen..It keeps me motivated.)

Have you made Magic Bags?

You could make smaller ones for when they get hurt - keep them in the freezer.


Where would I go to find instructions on how to make the crayon rollups?

 

[HeatherSue]

Heather - it was your advice about making the applique stitches wider that made it turn out! Thank you! If not for your tutorial and advice, the back of that shirt would have just been plain!

I think using the stiffer interfacing helped, too!

Yay! I'm glad my advice helped!

OH MY Goodness...that is the most awesome bed....I drooled over it for a year!!! So glad you found it more reasonably on Craig's List!!! YIPPYYYY! Sorry Tessa has been using it so much. I love how she lined up the stuffies along the top!!! She is just the cutest!!! And Sawyer...can you tell him to stop growing taller every minute...how do you keep clothes on him that fit??? LOL
When I was at the hospital a few weeks ago, I snagged a new puke bucket! Those things are awesome...for catching puke! LOL. Ack!

I love that you spotted the pink puke bucket on her desk! She got that when we went to the emergency room a few weeks ago when she had croup. It's so much better than those little ones they used to give you!

Yes, I just loved our **** a poos, **** a poos are the best dogs EVER!!! Nothing beats a sweet little **** a poo! RIP

I think Mom is missing you guys!

I'm missing everybody!!

Wow!!! That is really cool!!! What a great cake, especially for a 16 year old!

HeatherSue - yes the girls bed is a BERG. retail was like $3100 before taxes, etc. Paid huge amt less - thank you Direct Buy!

That jacket is FABULOUS!! I love it!! If you'd like to post a picture on my Frou Frou by Heathersue facebook page, I would love it!

I've never known anyone that belonged to Direct Buy! Have you saved a lot of money?

What am I making? Nothing! I can't imagine making 22 of anything and I'm not that nice! LOL! My first thought is little pillows or pillowcases. But, that is a lot of fabric for 22 kids! How about little felt pouches to put their teeth in for the tooth fairy (maybe shaped like a tooth)? First graders lose a lot of teeth!

Are you insane?! Alexa's classmates are getting little Christmas notepads that I got on clearance at Target last year and Ben's class is getting puzzles that I think I got on clearance after Easter (they're transformers and Looney Tunes -- not Easter related). Otherwise I go to the dollar bin at Target and pick gifts. Ben's class got yo-yo's last year and Alexa's got snowglobes. Much cheaper and less time consuming than making something.

If I have time (and doubt I will) maybe I'll make little felt stockings to put the gifts into.

I do like Heather's idea of tooth bags -- you hopefully could use some scrap fabric to do those.

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Heathersue - In reguards to DirectBuy - I got my BJ City Elite, jump seat, canopy 4 jump seat & cooler bag - taxes & freight for a little under what it was selling for in the store - not including tax.

the Berg bad was over a thousand less than the retail prices.
Don't remember about the receiver. we haven't bought too much big stuff yet, but my stove is broken and my dishwasher is old - I am just trying to make it another 2 yrs so maybe we could just redo the kithchen counter/sink at the same time as the dishwasHER & stove. Then we will probably save a decent amt too.


How do I put the jacket on your facebook page? I want to add the last bit before I do it though.
