Disboutiquers Part 19 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[PrincessKell]

Well, since you asked....here is a photo of my new niece Kendall Brooke. She was born conveniently the day after we arrived for our Christmas visit on Dec 21st. She is a cutie weighing in at 7lb 4oz and is 19" long. This is a pic of the first time my dd met her. Isn't that one proud Grandpa with both his little grand babies?

Awww she waited for you! hehe that is adorable. What Grandpa wouldn't be proud with those to beautiful girls!

Hi y'all, finally finished DD's Birthday dress

Her birthday is in 2 weeks, but all we're doing right now is going to dinner; no cake, gifts, party, etc. because we're going to celebrate her bday at Disney in June (we're going over her brothers actual bday- again, and we can't take her out in January, so we figured we'd just wait and celebrate in June- and she's completely on board. Still, I at least wanted to make her something special to wear that she could use for both. She got to pick a lot of things about this dress, so she's (I hope) gonna love it.

Thanks to Heathersue for the designs

Sorry for the terrible pics, I'll try to get better ones tomorrow- maybe on her, although she may have to wear a turtleneck under it- a cold front is coming through.

Here's the front:

and the back:

BTW, went to look at machines today, but just didn't feel right putting out more money while we're trying to get out of debt and save for the trip- well, I prayed about it; then went home and pretty much took my machine apart; put it back together and- it worked Hopefully it will stay that way at least until I'm done with the other 74 items for the trip

I love the dress. Lots of work. You did an awesome job with the color/fabric coordination too. Yay about the machine working. That "prayer" worked!

And really, what is up with this weather? I can't believe it is going to stay below freezing for 48-60 hrs here in Houston over the weekend....BRRRRRR!

This is the most recent thing I have finished. I was shopping at Old Navy and my eyes went right to this beautiful red dress on clearance. It was still $14, but me being cheap and a Disboutiquer I thought, I can make that!! So I used the precious dress pattern and changed the skirt up a bit, added a lot of ruffles and some little embelishments and waalaa (sp???)! It is so cute on-she wore it to church and got a lot of compliments. I figure it will work for the holiday season or Valentines day. Now, though, I want to make it in all sorts of colors!
I used a cotton sateen that is so nice, but not too expensive!

Thanks for looking!

Hopefully your machine will stay working for you so you can bust out all those items!

Finished the first pillowcase. Glad I started with the smallest size, it fits the largest pillow with a bit of room.

Not sure why it's so much bigger than it should be. I followed the directions on the link and adjusted the measurements for the size difference.

has anayone seen this blog before?

Oh some of those up-dos Peach would love, but I dont know how to work it with her super curly hair!

 

[*Toadstool*]

Beautiful! I love the fabric choices. Your rolled hem is perfect too!

So cute!! I love that. I saw a pattern for a dress like this, but can not remember where. Did you sew the ruffles to the dress skirt? The pattern i had saw you sewed each ruffle to another ruffle.. I have no idea how to do that!

Yay! I love hairstyle blogs. Definitely a good one. Thanks for sharing it.

Does anyone mind sharing what camera they use to take pictures of their beautiful outfits? See how I brought sewing into my question? ROFL!

I'm thinking of getting a Canon Rebel XS. I've asked opinions of the budget board but I'm afraid to ask on the photography board.

MinnieForMe- I have the Rebel XS. I am really loving it. The pictures are so much better than my old point and shoot. I got a good deal on mine with a trade in on my old Cannon. I need to get another lense though. The lense it came with doesn't zoom very much. Definitely worth the money though imo. Would have loved to get the XSi, but it was not eligible for the upgrade deal.

 

[Stephres]

Thanks! I looked it up at the library and had requested it to be sent to our library. I Love that about the county library here...Just look it up and request it and they will send it to what ever library you are at. I love that they have movies and cds as well as books. Makes being on a tight budget a little easier when there are things for free!

Good, I hope you get it soon!

Gorgeous! I love the fabrics you chose and embroidery looks perfect!

So pretty! I bet it looks much nicer than the one in the store.

I LOVE it Jessica!

Unfortunately, I can't help you with the reader/writer, but I can tell you there are a couple of good tutorials on the SWAK site. The multi-applique tutorial is nice - I read through it a couple of times before I attempted the cupcake! Hopefully, you'll get it figured out soon! Good luck!

Thanks! Me too.

[MinnieForMe]

I use the Cannon xsi although I haven't posted a ton of pictures...I'm overall happy with it and I am a total photography novice. I basically use the point and shoot mode which I'm sure would be snickered upon on the photography board

I like most of the pictures I get though...here are some of my guys playing in the snow

What beautiful pictures! I'm thinking you guys are convincing me that I NEED this camera! Now, I need to decide between the XS and the XSi. I just don't know the difference.

Some one was asking about camera's. I have a canon power shot that I love! We had the original canon rebel for YRS! We loved it so much we upgraded a few months ago to the canon 7D and it is amazing but $$$. WE gave our old rebel which is still going strong to a friend of ours who loves it.

Well, since you asked....here is a photo of my new niece Kendall Brooke. She was born conveniently the day after we arrived for our Christmas visit on Dec 21st. She is a cutie weighing in at 7lb 4oz and is 19" long. This is a pic of the first time my dd met her. Isn't that one proud Grandpa with both his little grand babies?

great picture!

Tiana was in the gazebo behind the Christmas shop when we were there too. You can find her by going over the bridge into Adventureland and take a right over the other little bridge and she's right there on the left.



Thanks Alicia!!!

Thank you for the info! I know exactly where you are talking about so I will tell her to head there first. I am sure we will all be looking for her around every corner when we go.

Hi Ladies! Me again!

Now that it looks like I will be making at least one Tiana dress, I was wondering if you could all how me YOUR Tiana dresses. I haven't been on here muchin the last six months and I think I missed out on a Lot! I tried to do a search on the last thread and I found a couple og great outfits and Vida's but I know there has to be more. I don't have an embroidering machine so I am looking more at making the actual dresses she wears.

Thanks for the help ladies! Any ideas, not just pictures, would be greatly appreciated!
