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

[MinnieVanMom]

I would love to know too! I'll be in Poland, Belgium, Greece, France, Amsterdam ( possibly some other places) this summer, so i'd love to pick up some unique fabric

Wonderful! I think you and I are going to the be the crazy Americans looking for fabric in Europe. I hope to find things we can't get in the states.

Are you just going on holiday or business? We are also going to Amsterdam and Germany. Jimmy Buffett in Paris but trying to see the obligatory tourist sites and get out before going broke.

Finished up a Stitch outfit for Ella last night. I hope we get to meet him again this trip - he was so fun with Caleb last time! Ella wasn't really into meeting anyone but princesses last time, but she seems excited to meet some more characters this time.

Closeup of Stitch - this is a Frou Frou by HeatherSue design - stitched out great!

Closeup of fabric - it's a Japanese print that I bought from one of those sites that we don't talk about.

Working on a Wall-E bowling shirt for C and a Vida for E, but we are getting a snow/ice mixture here right now and our power has flickered a couple of times already this am. Hopefully we won't fully lose our power so that a) we can still have heat and b) so that I can sew today!

Love the stitch set. We also enjoyed meeting Stitch on our last trip. He was so much fun & great at playing along with the kids

I would think it could be altered rather easily. You might not want to do it yourself but I am sure you could find someone to do it. Hope this helps!

Thank you for answering. I was so worried that she would totally fall in love with the dress and then find out it could not be altered. The school has a seamstress they recommend since they do formal graduation with long white gowns so we are going to give her a call. Thank you again, Diane.

 

[dancer_mom]

LOL...you're not psycho, areound here we call that normal!

The dress pattern is from YCMT, and it's CarlaC's Simply Sweet. Super easy, with excellent pics and great instructions, perfect for the newbie. It's a great pattern because there are so many different looks you can do with it, including directions on her blog to "princessify" it.

[/QUOTE]

Okay - I was wondering if that was the simply sweet because it looked fuller to me than what the picture on the website shows - did you princessify it or is that the standard way to make it?? Thanks!

 

[glorib]

Well, I've got some more! Finished the Wall-E sets! Used some fabric that had the pillow panels. Carla's Bowling shirt for Caleb and a Vida for Ella.

Now I'm getting started on a Cutie Minnie vida for Ella. Got it all cut out - need to start the applique work. . . doing it by hand!

Since I haven't been sewing lately, I thought I would post what my mom made Megan for Valentine's Day. She made a corduroy jumper that is lined with cotton little heart fabric (I think I spied some a-lines in the same fabric upthread) and embroidered these cute little kissing bunnies. Their tails are tiny yoyos that she made from fuzzy fabric and sewed on. Megan just loves it and wore it to school the Friday before Valentine's Day and to church today:

Can't wait until it's warm enough to wear it without a long sleeved shirt!

Sorry I haven't been keeping up as much as I like. I have been reading and admiring everything and praying for those who need it.

I love those bunnies!!! That is adorable!
Megan looks so cute in her Cathy! (I think this is the first time I've been able to remember the right name of the Sis Boom patterns!!! )

Davy Jones-Epcot May 7-9

I'm not sure we are going to make it though! Corey might not be there until the 9th and we'll have to pick him up at the airport. You dont' think Brian and the girls will mind if I just go to Epcot by myself for the day, do you?

Ireland_Nicole...... Can you please tell me where you got that Alice fabric and the co-ordinating fabrics as well?? This is soooo cute.... and I have another grandbaby on the way (yes, that's right! For all you Henry fans out there- Henry's gonna be a big brother!).... and if it's a little girl it'd be soooo darling to make something for her out of this! Thanks.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm so excited for you guys! OOOH a baby girl!!! How fun! When is she due?

Been following what everyone has been making and saying prayers for those needing them, been really busy at work we are leaving Friday for disney using up my time before i retire here are a few of the outfits I made for my dgd that is going for her and her papaws bd and our anniversary, excuese the poses she was acting up because she was trying to go to big cousins

Add me to the group begging for bigger pictures!!!!

This dress is SO cute - wonderful idea for the G tube. I am still really new to sewing and was wondering what pattern you used? Thanks.

Also - I just have to say that all of you creative ladies are making me crazy about sewing! Our family is going to DL in about 6 months for a 2 day trip and I already have 3 outfits I want to sew for each of my kids... yep, there will be a costume change one day to meet the fairies - but since I want it to double for a Halloween costume we will change back into their cooler outfits afterwards. I feel a little pyscho, but I know you all can relate

Oh yes,we can relate!

You are all so creative. I am in no way a sewer although I want to be! I have owned a sewing machine for 10 years and used it twice....I'd love to get going and make some things for my daughter for our trip in the fall. Thanks for sharing all your ideas and inspiring me. Now i need to make a plan to start up the machine and not just buy pretty fabric for no reason.

What? you need a plan to buy pretty fabric???

Thanks for all the feedback on the machine guys...I am more confued than ever!!! I think I will go look at it today and see what I want to do...it really is a GREAT price, so I am sure I could resell it and get out of it what I will be putting into it. My DH said to get it and if it doen't work out, at least then I know! But, I will go see it today and then maybe think about it. I really think he wants to make it up to me for having to leave during our vacation...which I have to say, really does not worry me as bad as it does him! I already have big plans for me and the kids that day.

Ok, who else is dying to know how much this machine is? Come on Kim, you can tell us!

Wonderful! I think you and I are going to the be the crazy Americans looking for fabric in Europe. I hope to find things we can't get in the states.

Nope, Daniela is one of them Canadians!

Carla doesn't have the pattern real full in the pictures, but I think when most of us make it, we make the skirt fuller than she says. I am lazy and usually just do two lengths across the fabric for whatever size I'm making.

STOP it Lori!!! This is just too much cuteness!!!

I am loving all these things you are making!

 

[Mirb1214]

Yes siree! The new cartridges certainly are compatible with the all of the cricut machines! Good luck bidding!

Yea!! I'm SO excited!! Thanks for the info!

OKAY! I went to see it this morning. She listed it at $500. I was ok with that, but I offered $400 and she said yes and....I had the wrong machine before...this is the right machine.

http://crafts-sewing.hsn.com/singer...ct&attr=211&ocm=ct|211&prev=hp!211&ccm=ct|211

It is still brand new with all of the packaging. She has never even taken the shipping tape off or opened a single CD to go with it!

DH said I was crazy if I didn't get it! I agreed, so now I am off to pick up the kids and pick up my new baby!

It is fuller than the pattern calls for, I use 2 45" pieces for the skirt instead of cutting what the pattern says, for 2 reasons, it has better twirl factor (very important in my house! lol) and I'm lazy...2 zips with a rotary cutter and the skirt is ready to sew.

Looking for some trim advice.

Background:
My mom and I are making tops and I am also making a coordinating dress for Kaitlyn. We're going to get a generational picture taken next month.
Mom and I are making this pattern, the big photo one for Mom and the sleeveless one for me.

We're using the Thomas Kinkade Disney-inspired fabric. Mom's is coral and mine is tan:

I'm using this pattern for Kaity's dress, view B (the yellow one at the top)

in this fabric:

The pattern calls for rick-rack, but I don't want to use rick-rack. Looking for some suggestions on what to use for trim instead.

Thanks!!!!

Thanks!!!!

what about speghetti bias tape?
Or make little loops with bias
Or ribbon roses (made by hand, not the purchased ones)
Or a ribbon, tied in bow and sewn to center of bodice)

pom poms would be cute on the edge of DD's skirt...

Or ribbon trim, I love used that

Or an insertion of lace or beading (lace that you run ribbon through

are you putting trim on yours and moms tunic?

 

[karebear1]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm so excited for you guys! OOOH a baby girl!!! How fun! When is she due?

Well....... we don;t know for sure if it's a she yet, but we should know by this time next month. Henry says it's a little sister- so I'm taking his word for it! The baby is due in mid August- and if it is a girl, they're thinking about calling her Sophie (maybe). How cute is that Teresa?

Yea!! I'm SO excited!! Thanks for the info!

You're so welcome- now..... off you go to bid!

These are some great ideas, thanks! No, no trim planned on mine. Not sure if my Mom is going to put trim on hers or not. I think Kaity's is the only one that will be embellished.

Are you just going on holiday or business? We are also going to Amsterdam and Germany. Jimmy Buffett in Paris but trying to see the obligatory tourist sites and get out before going broke.

I need to hear more about your trip to Paris to see Jimmy Buffett. Sounds like a once in a lifetime experience.

 

[SallyfromDE]

OH NO Not that one too!!!! Is it all on clearance???? Im sooo bummed!!

Not yet. I'll post when it does. I think I'll start making a list of what I want!!

Welp, I just got burnt...ugh....
Anyone participate in a GAD volunteer blanket project where you could mail them in for credit?
I have to do this again... if you did can you let me know what state/zip and how many you had to do?
Thanks for your help.....

I'm going with Linus chapter in Lancaster PA. she said they'd take it mailed. And it's one required, and they like anything, not just what is on the Linus website. I got a kit for Kirsta to work, I thought she could handle that and she is so proud of what she did.

This is Carla's newest pattern which is so easy! I wish I hadn't used the stripes for the upper ruffle but Megan loves it so I guess it's ok.

Can't wait until it's warm enough to wear it without a long sleeved shirt!

Sorry I haven't been keeping up as much as I like. I have been reading and admiring everything and praying for those who need it.

Megan is growing like a weed lately, she look so big girl now. Love the clothing and you have mad skilz. My DD said she was freezing in Boca at 34 degrees. Stay warm.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

That reminds me! i wanted to comment on how awesome I thought stitch looked- he stiched out REALLY well!!!

Nicole, I was thinking the same thing, stitch stitched well. lol

Two years ago, we took DD out of public school because she was getting her life threatened by a class mate for being 'mixed'. He told her she didn't deserve to live. They were in the 2nd grade!

The school did not take it serious, and after repeated complaints and threatened legal action, they moved her to another class. Which actually made the bully's point...you can't mess with him!

Now, two years later, we put her back in public school so I could concentrate on her brother and his special needs education. The boy is BACK!!!!!!

She came home from school today and told me they have a new student. It is the same boy from 2 years ago, and this time he is making threats...very specific... to SEVERAL kids in her class. I am beyond livid!

I have a very strongly worded email I am getting ready to send to teacher, principal, school superintendent and our attorney... I just needed to cool down a bit first!



Thanks for letting me rant...now back to our regularly scheduled discussions.
