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

[Adi12982]

Dress, there's a dress? WHat dress? All I see is that adorable baby- oh, wait, yeah, the dress she's wearing is pretty darn cute; I have to say Adi, unfortunatly no matter how cute your clothes are now, they're going to take second place to the model

It is a price I am very willing to pay!

I know I saw something about an autograph quilt on either this thread or the previous installment, but I can't seem to find it now. How would you set up the fabric for this so that the characters can sign it? What sort of marker works best? Any tips on fabric choice? I'm thinking we really don't need two autograph books/scrapbooks, since the girls will be together all the time, and I think an autograph quilt would be a fun momento from DD1's first trip.

Here are the kids in their Turkey Day outfits! I love Carla's A-Line pattern. It is super easy. I cheated a little and used some Stitch-Witchery to close it up.

DD and I went to Kohl's but we didn't go until 11:30am. I can't think straight past 9:00 pm so I don't go anywhere at midnight I am not ready to start my Christmas shopping but the kids needed some things. I got them each a winter coat, two pairs of Levi's jeans for Ethan and two character shirts for a Birthday Gift all for only $135. Not too bad considering one of the coats was OshKosh and the other was Columbia. I also got $20 in Kohl's cash to spend later.

Those are cute outfits.

I was at Kohl's at the same time! I got some good deals too.

I started shopping this morning at 3:30 and got done around 3:30 this afternoon. I'm exhausted.

The Dalmation and Elmo dresses are cute. The blankets are very nice. I love the dog coat.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

I made the baby a modified CarlaC A-line jumper (I printed the one for the AG doll and the 6 month size and made a pattern that was somewhere in between the two sizes). I also left it open at the bottom instead of the side (and thus having to hand sew) and used bias tape on the bottom.

I'm soooo excited to have my very own model for the things I make! This is the debut of my model in something I made (In the past I had to wait for people to send me pictures of their kiddos after I gave them something I made). . .

Here is what I made:

And here she is modeling it:

THANKS HEATHERSUE for your wonderful designs!!!

SHE IS PRECIOUS!! THAT'S IT!! I'm asking Santa for a baby girl this year!! It's no fair I don't have a little model, and well...boys shouldn't model dresses right?

I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving

Here are a couple of my little Thanksgiving models!

I can't believe how many of you have Christmas stuff done already, I'm in awe of you! I was hoping to pick up some flannel from Joannes online today...but I'm guessing it will be a few days before that site is back up.

Hi Everybody!
I love everyone's creations! They are all awesome. And, that baby girl is just toooo cute. What a precious little one!

I have a question...
I am machine emb on my futura and the bobbin string is showing just on the edge of the top stitching. I have the tension set at "E" like the book told me to. If I were to go up I would be at "2" and if I go down I would be at "4".
Should I go up or down to make this stop?

Thanks for any help you can provide me.

Oh, and I did something I never did before. Now, before you think "yay" - think "stupid". I am floating fabric for the first time and while guiding the fabric I decided to pierce my finger on the edge. Wow... talking about making your stuff pucker... I didn't cuss, I didn't scream, I was just worried about getting blood on the jeans. lol ~ First time and hopefully the last. That was a bugger.

I believe they put the autograph quilt stuff in the bookmarks...but if you can't find it...pm me. I'll give you way more info than you ever thought possible! I am addicted to these things....

I have a question for those of you who made rag quilts. Did you use batting? What tutorial did you use? Any tips you wish you would have known ahead of time? Thanks in advance for answering. I want to make one for my dd. I was wondering if you really have to use batting.

I've only ever made a doll size and I think I just used 2 layers of flannel-front & back but the woman in front of me at JoAnn's yesterday who bought 35 yards of white uses flannel as her middle layer.

Hi Everyone. I hope everyone had fun shopping today. I ran out, but only came home with a few things..I spent the day sewing..sorry for all of the pictures..the Santa dress is for Lexie when she sees Santa this year, Ireland will have something to match, but not a dress. Most likely a skirt. The Minnie, Mickey Vida we aren't keeping, but I love it. I don't think we will make it to Disney this year for Christmas.

Everything is so cute! I love how Mickey is extended up onto the bodice!

So cute! Great deals at Kohl's. I usually go there at 4am but I just bought a bunch of stuff there a couple of weeks ago so I skipped it this year.

Here are some pics of a few things I made before we went on our trip in October. . .I haven't had a chance to share these yet.
I added a Mickey Head and a name to a Store-bought blanket for DS's teacher

Blankets for New Babies

A little sweatshirt for the dog

An Elmo Simply Sweet Jumper for my niece who turned 1

Both of these are looking for a new home
I made this 101 Dalmatians jumper for our trip it is a size 8 but it was too big for DD

Then I made this one but DD didn't like it because it is a dress and she never wore it.

Hopefully they can find a little girl who will love them...

Love everything! My DD would love a Dalmation dress. We are going to WDW to celebrate her 7th birthday in January. I haven't been able to find enough Dalmation fabric to make her an entire dress out of it.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

ouch! I don't have an embroidery machine but I have caught my finger in my regular machine and always worry about bleeding on my project.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!! My favorite things I have seen in weeks!!! Awesome!!!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

OK, I gave into temptation and went to Joanns's. I spent 30.00 and SAVED 109 (Love that part LOL). I bought flannel. I had a weak moment and went crazy on FLANNEL! Some lady walked up to me and told me she was going to follow me around since she wanted the fabric I had in my hand. LOL. I had to tell her I was buying it all. My DD wants us to have matching Pj's so for 1.49 a yard-we can match . I have the frist two pairs of dolls Pj's done only 800 more

Wow! Good for you!

Does anyone else know where I can get cheap Christmas print flannel? I need quite a bit to make our families pj's and I still can't get on Joann's website!!! So frustrating!

 

[tvgirlmin]

Just loving everyone's recent projects! And your precious newborn is too beautiful, Adi! Hope everybody had a fun black friday.

I was bummed to not get the Cricut at walmart, but we got a tv (and weren't even looking to buy one, just couldn't pass it up!), so it was all good!

Mil leaves Sunday and then it is time to sew, sew, sew for Christmas!

How cute. Did you make the petiskirt? I was just wondering if any of you made one using Carla's tutorial on YCMT.

 

[DawnM]

Am I allowed to ask this?

I have been wanting to find a pattern to make these for 2 years now and can't find one. Please don't tell me it is easy to make myself.....I have tried and still consider myself to be a beginner.

I see them for sale and think there must be a pattern somewhere!

Thanks!

This is the Cinderella dress I made for Bella's Big Give. I used the Precious dress pattern and just made the neckline a little wider and put elastic in the sleeves instead of the band to make them poofier looking. And, I used Carla's peplum tutorial from her blog.

I made the sisters, AJ and Kennedy, Drizella and Anastasia dresses, but didn't get a picture before I sent them out. They looked exactly like the ones I made for Arminda and Lydia though.

Sorry, I got lazy and put this in Picasa instead of Photobucket, so thumbnailing it won't work.
So, delete that one up there when you reply and leave this one:

If you are still looking for a girl who loves Dalmations, I know my niece would love one of the dresses.

Any Canadians know if there is any duty on fabric? If so how much?

I'm heading down tomorrow to see if I can find some Disney prints, as there isn't much up here.

I don't have a pattern, but I can tell you how we have made them in the past if you like. All you need is two squares of fabric (bandanas or fat squares work well), a spool of ribbon and fuseable fleece or batting. I can jot down the directions if you like just PM me.

Where is your sewing table? My husband and I are arguing over space!~ Apparently I am in his workout space.....ARGH!

I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving

We asked Santa for a baby last year (well, we actually prayed about it) - and we got a baby girl this year - so ask away Maybe he'll give in to what you want

Hi Everybody!
I love everyone's creations! They are all awesome. And, that baby girl is just toooo cute. What a precious little one!

I have a question...
I am machine emb on my futura and the bobbin string is showing just on the edge of the top stitching. I have the tension set at "E" like the book told me to. If I were to go up I would be at "2" and if I go down I would be at "4".
Should I go up or down to make this stop?

Thanks so much (on the compliment of the baby).

I have a futura too - and I usually have the machine on E - but depending on the thread I change. I would try to put it on 2 first - seems like it may have too much tension so it is pulling the bobbin thread up. And of course if that doesn't work, then try it on 4. I sit with it and pause it if things aren't going the way I want and adjust the tension then, and it usually works just great. Although, I've not had many tension issues.

SO adorable!!!! Great job resizing the pattern!

Thank you

I didn't make the pettiskirt, I heard they are very very time consuming. I got it from a fabulous lady here

We prayed for a son...and got two. I guess I need to be a bit more careful, that prayer can be a very powerful thing!

Dawn, I don't have a sewing table. I have my machines on an extra dining room counter, my fabrics and stuff in the cabinet underneath. I have to sew on the dining table!
