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

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

I made my first T-shirt for the Breast Cancer 3 day in Oct - I am walking in Tampa this year then over to Disney! Our team is "Hakuna Ma-Ta-Tas"
I am making t-shirts to sell with different sayings - the first with our team name
Here it is:

Here is a close up:

Do you like them? DO you think people would buy them? I am also going to make ones with "Save the Ta-Tas", "Save Second Base" or "Save 2nd Base" - this shirt would have 2 baseballs in strategic spots. - "Real Men wear Pink", "find a cure before I grow ****ies" -- our team has a few more ideas for shirts too.
What do you all think? What would you charge? - the profits of the shirts will go to the 3-Day - each of us has to raise $2300 in order to walk.

Okay....how many of us have gotten our first emb machine in the last 6 months!!!

Me, Nini, Nicole, now Mary....that's 4....who else....I know there are lots I am forgetting....

ME - I got mine in Oct - Babylock Ellageo Plus

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Anyone feel overwhelmed by the choices??

I have been able to keep up barely, but haven't sewn anything for about a month (quick weekend away and helping a friend paint their house). I have all of these ideas running around my head for outfits for the girls to wear on vacation and I can't seem to get ANY of them out. The only thing I know for sure is that they want Step-sister dresses but my mom and I are going to work on them tomorrow. I have been working on a Feliz, but is seems like no matter how small I make this dress, my girls could BOTH fit in there. Has anyone else had this problem??

See, even my post is running together.

Okay, so my questions are as follows:
#1. What is wrong with my feliz?
#2. Why can't I make the step-sister dress myself?
#3. What should I be working on??

Okay, that is all for now. I think.

I was running into the problem with the feliz being too big too -- I had to use REALLY small pieces of elastic for the casings in the back to make it fit. HTH

 

[desparatelydisney]

Now we're up to 5....I know there are more of us....or maybe we all just been stitching non-stop since we got them

I've had one for 3 years, but only just figured it out and did my first embroidery with it in October, does that count?

Yes, you make 6

ME too! and personally, I blame all of your creativity to my increasing addiction to making stuff!!!

That's 7 ( & I totally blame you guys for mine too)

Me too!

8...

Me, I got the Brother Innovis 4000D but keep forgetting unless I look at it. I have said it is a quattro and it is not.

9...

I got mine last month, and just did my first embroidery design last week.

10

Me too! I just picked up my new Brother 780D last week. I haven't gotten a chance to play with it, yet, but I've got lots of plans : )

11!!

Me too, although I've been too chicken to try it out yet! (plus trying to finish some projects to make room in the sewing room!_

Try it out....if you think sewing is addictive wait till you watch that thing stitch (and you make 12!)

ME - I got mine in Oct - Babylock Ellageo Plus

THIRTEEN!!!

Can you believe that!!! 13 of us have taken the plunge in the last 6 months! Can we get some sort of group commission for this??!!

MYA'S BIG GIVE UPDATE! WOO HOO! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

Cute "doll" outfits. I love making dolly clothes to match. And you did great on the bows. My DDs are 29 and 23 now and I always made ALL of their bows. Now I am making them for DGDs. It saves soooo much money and then they match perfectly too!

I never felt bows worked for Zoe so I never tried to make any aside from some small korkers to match her soccer uniform in kindergarten.

I would love to have the Zoe skirt pattern (the child size). Can we get it somewhere already?

I'll PM you.

Great job on all of it! Love the twirl added to the vida - neat idea! And the bows look great!!! I have been thinking of trying my hand at bowmaking, but just haven't done it yet....those are so cute!

Thank you. The bows were fun but I doubt I'll do many. I already have a problem with buying more supplies than I'll likely use so adding something new to buy isn't a good idea. I made these with what I had on hand but I know I could easily get carried away buying all kinds of fun ribbon.

To answer #1 - The Feliz is definitely a lot of dress. LOL It's one reason I don't make that style anymore. Do you have your sash in place yet? When I've made the Feliz, one thing I did different than the instructions was to sew the sash end between both layers of the dress rather than just sewing it into the seam of the overdress. I felt that is a more secure attachment method. The once the sash 'casing' is created, the sash then becomes almost like a drawstring to allow the dress to fit more closely.

 

[LisaZoe]

Here are a few new things I've been working on. I did a lot of sewing but not a lot of sleeping along the way. LOL

I can't remember if I shared this variation of the Vida here yet. I've had the idea in mind for awhile to replace the back and sides with layered ruffles. I finally had time to actually make one in January (I think LOL):

This is the newest version of that style.

As usual all your stuff is amazing, but this is to die for! I have done and like the "butt ruffles", the side ruffles totally add to it! I also love how your design is 3-D with the flowers and butterfly!

 

[dogodisney]

LisaZoe.......Your skills are truly amazing. Everything that you have posted the past few days are so beautiful. I'm in awe.

First of all, I want to say, when I grow up I want to be able to sew half as good as Miss Lisa does! (yes, I know I am much older than you, but still haven't grown up ...out, but not up LOL!)

Second, please remember us and my GD2 as we head into surgery today. This will be her fourth out of possibly five surgeries for her little foot. Each and every time she has had problems with the anesthesia. First, the epidural doesn't work, then they end up giving her morphine and she has problems coming out of it! They are insisting on sending her home after the surgery today. Even if they end up combining the last two surgeries into one, (meaning lengthening the bone with rods and lengthening the Achilles tendon).

Thanks for all the suggestions on the Easy Fits for her. We have decided to wait until we see what cast she ends up with to make any...especially since they go together so quickly!

I can hardly wait to get back into a regular schedule of sewing! I am finally starting to kick this 'crud' that I have had for over 6 weeks. My DIL is taking her laptop to the hospital today...I asked her if I could take my 'Bubba'...at least then I could get some work done...I have 96 T shirts to make and 18 dresses....

Headed to Hilton Head for a week. No sewing for me for a little while.
Be back home on Mar 14th, although I will have internet so I will probably be checking in to see what new inspiration you all have for me. Everyone's work here is great!

Prayers said. I can't believe they're not going to at least keep her over night, especially with her history and her age. I'm sorry if you posted it and I missed it but what hospital was the dr. able to get?

Nini ~ Just a quick post to let you know that you will all be in my thoughts & prayers today. I know it will be a long day for you, post when you can to let us know all is well.
God bless,

The Mickey and Minnie things are just amazing but your Vida's OMG! You have such patience and it's so inspiring! I don't know if I could spend that much time on one dress. How long does something like the Bambi dress take you? I don't know how you do it but your results are astonishing! Just amazing, so talented!

Nini, I'll keep her in my prayers today. I haven't had much time on the thread lately, but will be watching for your note that all went well.

AMAZED as always....

Thanks for continuing to post here. I don't hang out on Facebook. And finding your creations posted is always a joy!

I recommend making a schedule, and then sticking to it; then you can tick things off as you finish them, and feel like you're really accomplishing something. I also start with what I like least first, and move on to what I really want to do- it keeps me motivated. RE: the feliz- I make one size down, very short elastic, use the casing as a drawstring, and finally, I fold the back like you would for hand pleating, but only once, with the sides of the back behind the center; with the sash on top, it stays, and really makes the bustle kind of "stick out" a bit, but in a nice way hih.

Love it!

I'm STILL working on my Alice set (couldn't find the bodice pattern pieces!!) but I did have some fun making an Alice inspired mini top hat! Here's a sneak peek that I posted on Facebook

Gorgeous- can't wait to see the rest!

Wish I had a little baby around to put these on, cause I just don't think the hangers do them justice.

These are for twin baby girls that are due in April.

Romper #1, Side #1

I'm oversize on pics, but love them all!

Here are a few of the things I have been making for customers recently. It's been really fun and challanging to work with other people!! The whole sizing issue is tough though!!
A Vida with butt ruffles!

This is the kyoko pattern. It goes together really easily. I adjusted the sleeves following CarlaC's guidance of course!

Thanks for looking! I had better stop procrastinating and get back to work on my presentation!

Jessica

Awesome! I really, really, really love the dress!!

I just completed 2 more of the bubble rompers in the sleeveless version for an upcoming shower where I do not know the gender of the baby. Hopefully there is one side for each one that is not too girly!

First off, these are just too precious! I love them, they're perfect- where did you get your applique frames?

A couple of things I wanted to share with you all if you have not seen them on FB yet:

What do you all think? Can you tell who inspired them?

Been busy with school and trying to get my FB and Etsy business going.

Love these, especially the Aurora w/ the corset back- very unique take, and lovely.

Wanted to share these Big Give SeaWorld outfits for Noah's family...

poohnpigletCA is making bows to match


all together:

Now off to make two more dresses for another Give!

Perfect! Those look absolutely great!!

Those are very cute! I love the fabric you used. They will get so many compliments with them all dressed to match.

Here is the outfit I made for the same Big Give (for little sister)

So cute! Love the color combo

Wow, is this picture bad or what!?!?!?!? I'm attempting to get the girls to bed and take photos... what was I thinking?

The double ruffle Faith Dress is for Maya and the stripwork jumper is for Ali..

We're making matching bracelets (well, my DD9 and DD6 are).. I will post better pictures of the whole set tomorrow.

My first Big Give!
Monica

Love em- they'll look so cute as sets!

I have one

umm, can I "borrow" this? I happen to have a jedi obsessed Daniel...

Keeping all of you in my thoughts today - glad you are feeling better - 96 shirts! 18 dresses oh my! how do you keep that all straight?

cydswipe in honor of your first Big Give, I'm trying my first quote.

The outfits you made look very comfortable, and I especially like the soft blue material. Congratulations on making your first Big Give outfits. I'm still working up my courage to sew clothes. Lucky you, you have the first set under your belt!
