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

[h518may]

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.
Gretchen

Here's were I bought the pattern http://www.banberryplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_3&products_id=117

Here is the dress all done on Ash.

Front:

And here is the back

I really want to make a skirt out of this next.

Beatiful! Learning to machine quilt is on "to do" list!

This is actually done entirely by hand.. No sewing machine involved!

How beautiful. What a great idea to save your daughter's dress fabric to make her one. Thank you for sharing.

Oh My Goodness! That quilt is beautiful! I think saving scraps from her dresses is a fantastic idea! My mom saved all of our t-shirts/sports shirts and had someone make a quilt for my brother and I. I have 3 little girls though and I think this is a great idea too! I'm am sure your raffle will be great! I do not quilt, but now I wish I did.

I'm so glad alot of you loved the quilt!! I'm excited about having a part in it.

I bought Lisa's pattern and it's really well written! I haven't had a chance to make a skirt yet, but I really, really want to!!
I love the quilt! Those little tiny dresses on it are just so pretty!!

Oh good. I'm glad you got it. I think everyone is going to fall in love with it once you see it on a child. It is so whimsical and fun.

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.

Oh you can see the dress much better in those pictures. Thanks!

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.

Love the easter set!! That is just precious. The farm outfit is cute too. Hope he wears it. Some people are totally crazy and won't let their little boys were stuff like that. I bet he will look darling in it!

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!

Aww! I have never made a quilt before. But this one is done with handwork and I love handwork!! Sad that the quilt is falling apart. I really hope you can fix it!

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:

The Vida looks very pretty! Tiana is gorgeous!!

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

I don't know. There are other quilting embroidery designs with little dolly dresses on them.. they just aren't as elaborate as these. I just love that you can make them exaclty like a dress you made for your daughter. I'm so excited!

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

I have made Emma! I will say that it is kinda hard finding some fabric that is thin and drapey enough to do what she wants the pattern to do. I haven't made it again because of that. She encourages you to use voille and voille is expensive!

 

[tvgirlmin]

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.

Thanks for the pattern info - I want to make it, too! Love that top! And your daughter looks too cute in the dress version, as well! Can't wait til my little gal is old enough for daddy/daughter dances!

Love that basket, Ellen! How cute!

Love all your creations, Dawn (especially the Easter set - soooo adorable!) but gotta say, Biscuit steals the show! What a precious dog and what a blessing for your family!

Lovin' the vida but WOW! That Tiana dress is AWESOME!!! Too cool!

I finally tried my hand at a patchwork twirl - made it as a dress instead of a skirt. I like it a lot, but think I may have picked too many wild colors this time. Also, cause I think I forgot to post it before, here are some pics of my son in his Shamrock bowling shirt...

Now its off to make some Easter outfits, as we are doing pics with live bunnies next week! Woo Hoo!

 

[Mom2SamandJames]

tvgirlmin I love your little girl's patchwork dress. I think she looks adorable in it. I also think the leprechaun bowling shirt for your son is just as cute as it can be as is the little boy wearing it.

Wow that's stunning. love it

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Toadstool- that quilt is amazing!!! All that hand applique and the hand embroidery WOW!!

I was supposed to get the Emma pattern in a coop- but then she forgot to put my name on it, so I didn't get it. But am I the only one who thinks her color combo on the pattern cover is ugly? Kira, thanks for the feedback- now I know I don't have to buy this pattern, if I did, I would have planned to use satin or cotton. NOT voille! LOL.

so cute! love the mushrooms!

HaganFam5---That Princess Tiana is brilliant!!!!!!!

I don't think it's too crazy- and really like it, and it looks like your daughter does too!


Oh and I thought the Easter strip work was darling!!


Finished Mom's tunic, now I just have to find out where they are in Florida this week and send it to her.

 

[teresajoy]

I love both dresses, the tiana one is really beautiful!!

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

There are direction in the first post.

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:

Both dresses are cute but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Tiana!! Oh, and I don't think the Vida is too long either.

I think that twirl is great! The bright colors just make the twirl skirt pretty!
And the shamrock shirt is sooo cute on him!!
We are having live bunny pics of our DGDs in a couple weeks too. Our photographer told me she would get the bunnies and take the pics if I would agree to be the bunnies mommy afterwards....I told her I don't think that will work. Ha! Thankfully, she was just kidding. Can't wait.

Toadstool- that quilt is amazing!!! All that hand applique and the hand embroidery WOW!!

Love the tunic. Very very very pretty fabric and you did a great job.

In drive-by mode but wanted to say how cute everything has been lately!

TIANA DRESS IS AWESOME!!!!

Gotta sew....Feliz & Twirl made form a Jelly Roll in the works!

Adorable dresses! I have a size question for you. I am making a Vida for the big give and the child is a size 6/7. What size is your daughter? How much would you recommend shortening the pattern? It does seem a little long...but still cute! I have made the 3/4 for my god-daughter but haven't seen it on her yet to know how much to take off. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

 

[wbarkhur]

I wish I could post pictures to share it with you, but my computer is driving me crazy right now and having "issues" and the wonderful people at dell can't seem to figure it out. Hopefully they figure it out soon and I can post them.

Anyway I am so excited. I finished my first project yesterday. I was a little scared to start with clothes so I made an Aivilo Tote bag. It turned out really pretty good with only a few mistakes. My son liked it so much he took it to pre-school for show and tell. I got quite a few positive coments from the teachers and other parents. And my daughters want me to make them one.

So thank you for all the advice and encouragement. I think I have found my new obsession, I just wish the nearest fabric store wasn't 2 1/2 hours away.

Hey there, Been lurking as I'm heading back to Disney.

I just don't have time to make anything, but wanted you all to know I'm DROOLING over all the projects posted!

The Tianna dress is to die for!

I feel guilty for not having time to make anything.

Praying the weather in late March will be warm enough for dd to wear the sundresses I made last summer.

My dd is a size 7/8 in store clothing and I made her the size 7 vida. I will admit I did not add the seam allowances. She is tall and slim (gymnast body) and I did not shorten it at all. She is about 51" tall. This is how it fit her:

HEY! when are you going to be at Disney? We're cruising March 14-18 and at WDW the 18th - 22nd. Any chance we'll be there at the same time?

It's beginning to look like I may not get any customs made for the cruise. And sadly, I'm not even sure that bothers me! I did order tie dye shirts for our family (I think we might wear them on Pirate night). We'll have the shirts I made with the DCL logo on them. I may try to make a dress for AbbyGrace - but if not, she'll wear customs that she's worn before.

She looks fabulous! I absolutely love the pattern - the simple lines really show off your fabric - and Ash models it so well!

I just ordered the pattern thanks to your link.

I have a question, tho:
In an earlier post you mentioned the "painful" hem (due to all the curves)... Not having seen the pattern yet, do you think it would be possible to "line" the skirt with something very lightweight, such as organza or a very fine batiste, & eliminate the hem altogether? I'm envisioning no hem whatsoever - simply making the skirt in a double layer, turning it inside out, then attaching it to the bodice. Does this sound do-able? Or do you think this would be more trouble than what it's worth?

Thank you for all your help.

Gretchen

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

I just finished a Grinch Vida tonight (my first!) for I think the same little girl for the Big Give. I made the 5/6 and it is about 27" long. She is 47" tall. I hope this is about right. Also, how far up do most people put the buttons? I moved them up quite a bit from the end of the strap because the straps looked really long. The buttons can easily be moved though. I don't have anyone that size to try it on.

 

[ellenbenny]

There are direction in the first post.

Thanks! I should have remembered to look there first.

That quilt is STUNNING, Toadstool!
What an heirloom you'll be making for your family.
Thanks for the inspiration.
