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

[HeatherSue]

I'm so impressed with all of the pictures I've seen. I've made a few halloween costumes for the kiddos but other than that, I'm not a bit crafty. I have a question that I'm hoping someone can help with. I realize that you don't sell here but I'm looking for something that I can't seem to find and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Our last two trip to WDW, I've had wonderful autograph books made by someone in the US. They're nice cardstock and personalized with the kiddos names and date of our trip. They're 6x8 so I can easily put a picture to the left with teh autograph on the right.

DD's wish trip is this August and I'd love to get similar books but the lady is no longer making them. I've found similar ones online but the only ones I can find are 4x6 which really won't enable me to add pictures. I know Disney sells books where you can add pics but I'm looking for one with more pages since my kids are really into autograph collecting and since this is DD's wish trip, I'd like to have them personalized. Does anyone know where I may be able to find this type of autograph book?

Hi! I can't help on where to find autograph books. But, have you found the Wish Trippers thread? If not, here's the link:

I have made a couple of the boutique easter baskets. If I make one again I think I will try to stiffen it a little more, probably use fusible fleece on the lining and a stiff fusible interfacing on the main fabric.

Here is a picture of one:

Hope that helps.

What a pretty little basket!

Hey Heather! Glad to see you around! Now that I have my new to me machine, Katie was checking out all your designs...she is soooo excited! She wants them all I think!

I hope to get some time to play with it this week...Tim will be in Vegas starting Saturday...so I get to play some while he is gone!

Hi Kim! I hate that I don't have time to hang out here like I used to! Digitizing has become a more than full time job! I love it, but I miss my friends!

Have you tried Etsy? There are a couple on there that are 6 x 8, and lots of the sellers are willing to customize too.

I did try Etsy but I'm only finding the smaller books... I'll try again. I must be using the wrong search terms.

I did! Thank you though. They're such a great group with so much information. We've been several times but this trip is special and the planning is so different. I haven't been able to do much yet since we don't have our dates set but I'm trying to get a head start on whatever I can.

Helps a bunch! My thoughts were I was afraid it would be too 'floppy'. I thought about quilting the fabric with a stiff batting. I'm going to make one per instructions, then work out my ideas on it and 'stiffen' it up to suit my kids!

...I think if I start working on Easter stuff, spring might hurry...we'll see!

I think the etsy sellers name was pitchmom that had the larger books.

HELP! I need digitizing ideas! I want to make some Disney themed Easter applique designs and I'm not coming up with anything! If you have any Easter ideas for me, please send me a PM! Please don't post it on here or someone else might digitize it before I get a chance to.

I don't want to do any characters dressed as bunnies or anything. I'm hoping to keep these simple because those are the designs that sell the best, and the only ones I'll have time to do before Easter.

Thank you all so much! You always come up with great ideas!

Sorry, Heather...was reading too fast. I assume you found my suggestion before I deleted it or should I PM it to you?

Could you please tell us if you used a pattern for this dress, and if so, could you specify which one it is?
I absolutely adore this dress - and your embroidery!
Gretchen

I know someone else answered for me, but here are some other pictures http://www.farbenmix.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=235&Itemid=254

I loved the design for the dress and it went together easy, the only real problem was it is a pain to hem with all the curves on the bottom. I can't wait for summer for Ash to wear this.

 

[HeatherSue]

What about a giant egg with Mickey head silhouettes on a few of the rows/stripes on the egg?

Thanks! That would be cute! Could you PM me if you have any more ideas?

I haven't been able to do the amount of sewing that I need to do lately, but I wanted to share some of my latest projects.

First, a dog bed for Bisuit, the dog who has so far helped my son NOT have a single night terror since joining our family.

An Easter patchwork twirl top with matching pink pants. My first try.

A birthday present for my nephew who actually lives in a farmhouse on a farm in Delaware.

A twirl skirt for a little girl who wanted no panels but still wanted some twirl.

Thanks for letting me share the photos. You are all amazing! I love seeing what everyone has made.

waltfan5 - All of the outfits are sooo cute. I especially like the pink one with the striped band.

I am a member of SAGA(Smocking Artisans Guild of America) and I went to the meeting of the Greater New Orleans chapter tonight. I had so much fun. It is just fun to be with sewing people.
We are going to make this quilt and raffle it off. Each member will do a block. The guild pays for the kit and everything. I am excited!! I wanted to share because I know a few of you quilt. I have been saving scraps from Hannah's dresses to make her a quilt like this one day too.

Aren't they gorgeous?? This is just my kinda quilt! I'll probably do the smocked versions. sorry to post something I didn't make. I just had to share in case anyone else wants to make one. Here is her website. http://www.kreationsbykaron.com/

OMG....I do quilt and I am in AWE!!! This is beautiful! I do not quilt anything like this. Someday!!!!!!! I love the idea of saving the scraps. I actually saved pieces from my DDs outfits years ago and my sister made them into quilts (my DDs are 29 and 23 now, if that tells you anything). However (don't tell her)....they didn't hold up very well. She was just starting to quilt and didn't exactly do it right. But I still have them put up and someday, I will get around to fixing them. Ha!

Dawn - everything is so cute! You are doing great! I love the Easter outfit....
And of course Biscuit is just adorable.

Hi! Snow day here in New York so I had a chance to attempt my first Vida. It came out okay. I just wish I had made it a bit shorter. My daughter is pretty tall and it still looks too long on her. It was much easier than I had thought it was going to be. Now I just have to give Feliz a shot!

Here is what you have all been waiting for ... The reveal of my Tiana dress. Well, the front anyway. Sorry about the crummy pictures I tried to take them without using the flash:

So cool that Biscuit is helping your son like that. Great projects. I think we all love seeing what everyone made, that and the great people are why we hang out here.

Beautiful dress! If any of my daughters saw that dress they would want one pronto! Especially my Lilly.

Thank you for posting the link. (If someone else posted about the pattern, I missed it.)
Can you get these patterns with directions in English? I couldn't find anything that wasn't in German. Maybe I'm not navigating the site correctly...
But I absolutely adore the dress - even if the hem looks like it will take a while!
Thanks again for the info.

That is so beautiful! I love that quilt. Of course, I'm looking at it wondering if someone could digitize those little dresses!

Is she being a SLACKER again??? I really thought she was over that phase in her life?!?!?



This quilt is beautiful! What time that will take to do, but soooooo worth it! Thanks for adding the link.

She needs you around to keep her in line Karen!

All of your creations are beautiful - but I LOVE this top! What pattern did you use?

Thanks! I used Simplicity 2677.
http://images.patternreview.com/sewing/patterns/simplicity/2677/2677.jpg

It was a pretty simple pattern. I also made a dress for my Daughters Daddy/Daughter dance with the same pattern.

That dress is ADORABLE!!! So is your daughter! My girls are going to the Father Daughter Dance tomorrow night. They are so excited!

Adi, I had no idea you were going through all of this! I'm sorry I haven't said anything sooner. Wow, what a rough time you've had! I had to go into the hospital for 11 days with a portal vein blood clot when Sawyer was 5 weeks old. It was SO hard! I was sick and weak for a long time after I came home and it was really difficult taking care of him and Tessa when I felt that way. So, I can really feel for you. I was lucky enough to have my mom next door to help me, though. I really hope you're feeling better and that you stay out of the hospital!

The Dark Days. I can't think about it without sobbing.


Adi, I'm so sorry you are going through all of this. I hope everything goes better now!

Jessica, these look fabulous!!! The Vida is really cute! And, your TIANA!!! WOW! That is fantastic!!! I wish you were going to Disney when we were and I could see it in person!

 

[Clared]

Hello again!! Its been a while since I've posted - I still can't figure out how you all have the time to sew and post on here!!

I've spent the past week catching up and as usual, everything is absolutely beautiful.

I'm in the throws of making some T-shirts for Easter gifts and will share my pictures as soon as I'm done.

We've just booked a trip for November, just after Hope's 3rd birthday, so I'll be in full Disney swing very soon!!

Thank you all so much! You always come up with great ideas!

I went at Easter a few years ago. I got myself a pair of ears and the hat looked like an easter egg, I think the ears were even pink or green. I also have an antennae topper that looks like and Egg with ears.

Can someone remind me how I can resize pictures smaller when quoting, like I have seen some others do?

 

[SallyfromDE]

I fell in love with these patterns. I can see where all my money will go!!

But this one . . .. . I just LOVE!!!!! It can be Tinkerbelle or Tiana:
