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

[squirrel]

I still have just under a metre of the Stitch fabric left. Not sure what else to make for her. The print is so large-I'm sure it's suppose to be for sheets/curtains. I would have made her some but she doesn't have a twin sized bed.

somehow I messed up and didn't buy enough lining fabric for the scallopini....I don't know how I did that! so now I have to use some stuff I already have- but have to cut it using the length of the cut, rather than the width....
it's taking me forever to cut this out!

For those who have done it- what is your preferred method of attaching the tulle?
ribbon or soft n flexible velcro?

I haven't been around much due to extreme changes going on. We are moving to Bend, Oregon. Have much going on packing and getting things ready. Dh has to be there on March 1! We are hoping to be not to far behind. I am driving with the kids so it will take at least 5 days. I will be MIA until we get everything settled in Oregon! hope to talk soon. I wlll still be on facebook a little!

OH NO!!!! That makes me want to cry!!! They had such a nice fabric department. Are the racks still there? Is there a chance they just had to get rid of most of it from the fire and are ordering more???

Do you have any pictures of the girls going to the dance? Lydia's dance is at the end of the month. She will wear the flower girl dress I made. It's only suppose to be elementary girls, but I think Arminda will go to. She could easily pass for a 4th grader! And, she loves it so much!


!

I honestly teared up. That is where I get most of my fabric becauase it is the closest and because I can afford it there. All of the shelves around the sides and up front were completely gone! They only had one shelf in the middle and some stuff on it but nothing great. There was hardly any thread and only 2 fat quarters left. It was super sad! The lady working back there wasn't very friendly and didn't give me much info. She just said they were closing they department in May but honestly i don't know if it will last that long because there was hardly anything there. I just don't understand why they are getting rid of those departments? Were they losing money?

I do have pics of the girls at the dance. I will have to get them in photobucket first.

Hi All!
I've pretty much been lurking the past few years on and off, posted a few times asking for suggestions for patterns and I *FINALLY* did my first costume dress. She still needs some work - the belt is a bit wonky, but I'm overall pretty pleased. It's Simplicity 2872, my own rendition of it at least... lol. I did some mods, stitched some leaf veins into the skirt petals and what not. Any suggestions for shoes? She of course wants the poof-ball tink shoes but I can't find any green ones to put balls on. I also can't find those pompom balls that big. Thanks for looking!!!!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to fostering a new addiction with you all!!

A Belle Dress (or Sleeping Beauty... someone keeps changing her mind ) is up next! I saw a great Aurora dress a few posts ago... any good ideas for Belle out there?

I finally started and finished the Stitch Dress.

This time she was speechless. She just kept smiling and couldn't talk.

I can't let my DD see this dress. She loves Stitch, sleeps with "Stitchie" every night, her absolute favorite. I've been looking for Stitch fabric for 6 mos. If any of you want to be my scout....I have a 4yr old that would love you forever! Love the dress!
Look closely at my signature picture...you'll see a hidden Stitchie

I am on the hunt for these little net things for my thread... It is the only way I can leave my futura unattended. Seriously, they look like little hairnets that you put on the spool so it unravels nicely.

Anybody know what their "technical" name is so I can search? I am in need!

And - I love all of the outfits posted lately! Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!

I will go and see if my Walmart has anymore left. How much do you want? We are in metres up here! Just called the store, the lady said she couldn't see any Stitch fabric. I will go in and make sure it's gone.

I posted the material a while back and my niece was over and I was showing her some of the nice stuff everyone else had made and she saw the fabric I had posted earlier. Luckly, she still can't read and didn't know it was me. If I had said somebody named squirrel posted it, I'm sure she would know that it was me.

I know what it's like when a child loves a character. My niece has so much Stitch stuff. The first year I took her to WDW she spent all of her money on everything she could find with Stitch. Then her Grandparents gave my sister money to buy my niece her birthday presents-my sister found a store in Burnaby that had a lot of Stitch things-mugs, pillows, pencil holder, toilet roll holder, bobbing Stitch with solar panel, stuffies, etc.

I don't know the technical name, but did a search for thread net & found some choices. Never used any, but perhaps I should find some too.

Nicole-so sorry for all you're going through. Lots of prayers for your family.

Everything posted has been so beautiful!!!


Steph-take care of yourself! Have you been tested for whooping cough? I had that just before my January trip.

Piper-I'm sure you have found someone to send a Mickey postcard. How about another character? I would think it would be fun for her to get a whole slew of different characters! I'ld be happy to send one on May.

Coldwater use to have a nice selection, I wonder if they still do? I think I will write a letter of complaint about the BC store!

I have been working on some customer orders and was so excited to finish a Lilo dress. I was already to ship it out-then remembered the post office is closed tomorrow

 

[dezimber]

Don't say only! No one can go to Disney just once!
I love the apron!!! That is really good!

Thanks. I was inspired by all the cute dresses that everyone has been making. Since I don't have a little girl to play dress up on I had make one for myself. My 16 year old nephew wants to go back to China so that is the next trip. We are only 45 minutes from Disneyland so we are still able to get the Dis fix.

Yeah, I was trying to get my Big Give outfits finished so I could mail them tomorrow, when I realized the post office was closed...so I am using that as my excuse. The fact that I feel like crap has absolutely nothing to do with it!

Why not look for a pair of slippers?
You could make the pompoms...
use a cereal box- cut out a circle, then cut out the inner part of the circle (leaving about a half inch wide outline)
fold in half
put a strand of the yarn running the bottom length of the inside of the circle
wrap yarn of your choice around and around (leaving the ends of the first strand sticking out
when you have wrapped it to the point that the "inside" of the circle is full-
tie the strand together in a knot..
cut carefully along the top curve- tie the strand tighter
you should have a pompom now..
I'll see if I can find instructions on utube
this version is a bit different from mine

Hi Girls; I'm in a bit of a quandy; got some super cute fabric through my coop, and I really want to do matchine outfits for my youngest niece and her to be born any minute brother. I'd love to do something for summer, and had actually planned on buying the bubble pattern and making it sleeveless, but looking at it, um, I realize it looks like it's just for girls- oops. Has anyone tried the romper pattern on ycmt? Or does anyone else have a good idea of a pattern to try? I want to do a little dress for my 1 y/o niece, but need something for the little guy.

Also, any ideas on what to do for the older 2? They're 10 and 8, so probably won't be into the whole matching outfit thing; but I don't want them to feel left out either...

Any ideas?

Hi, my name is Ellen, and I have been lurking and trying to read this thread (only part 19) for the past couple of weeks and I think I have now read most of it.

I am trying to come up with ideas for an upcoming baby shower and was also thinking of the Carly bubble pattern. The expecting couple have elected not to learn the gender of the baby, so I was thinking it might be cute to make the reversible bubble with a girl side and a boy side. I thought that the sleeveless version with the right fabrics might work for a boy.

Last night I started cutting, and I after looking at the shape of it, I thought that if I took in the bottom sides a little it might not be so "bubbly" and look a little less feminine, so I modified the pattern a bit. I cut it out and started the appliques last night. I will post a picture when it's done, but I don't have a baby to try it on so I won't know how my modifications affect the fit. Anyway, thoguht I would share my thoughts and see what others think.
