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

[mom2rtk]

I said I wasn't going to create anything for the cruise. My machine decided to have a fit and stop working. I just fixed her on Friday and got the itch - I had to make something! (though this doesn't have any embroidery on it - still!)
This is incomplete - still have to put the casing in the easy fits that will be a part of this outift - as well as a peasant top. But, here's the dress.

I'll post the complete thing when it's finished (hopefully this afternoon). I've got one more thing that I want to make before the cruise, then I've gotta get packing!

Shannon, that's beautiful!!!!!

I'm still waiting for my first batch of Alice fabric to arrive on my doorstep. I got the blue character toss and the blue stripe. I can't wait!!!

 

[WDWAtLast]

So many beautiful creations posted lately! Love Lisa's ruffled vida and Shannon's Alice dress is amazing!!

Here are pics of a few of the layouts I made for Daniel's Big Give scrapbook album. I also have Epcot, Magic Moments, and a couple more, but didn't take the time to scan them all. I promise they are straight IRL - they just "stitched" together wonky when I scanned!

MEEE!!!! It is sitting nicely next to me in it's new home on top of the desks that my DH insisted I buy at Ikea Thursday! I have spent the last 3 days moving both my sewing room and my office to the kids old playroom and the playroom to the old sewing room/sun room. Then my DSL was not working in the new room...UGH! I am so ready to try my new machine!

Thanks for everyones input. I bought and picked up today a Janome Memory Craft 350E and the software to use the larger hoop i think its called a giga hoop. Now to work up the courage to open up the box. Buy some of those amazing designs by Heathersue and take several lessons so i get the most out of my new machine.
Thanks again,
Vashti

Okay.... our count is officially at 15!!

This dress is absolutely gorgeous, Shannon!
Could you please tell me what pattern you used?
Thanks you so much for sharing your creations!

I tried 4 times to get the picture to show up here...sorry. Evidently you have to know what you are doing and have more than 2 minutes to do it! LOL!

 

[billwendy]

THESE ARE AMAZING!!!! you did an awesome job - I love every page so much!! Im going to take a TON of pictures so Daniel can can choose what he wants to put in each space. I bet his big sister will be very into filling the scrap book as well. They have been unable to get the sand out of their camera so far - lol - we tried compressed air, brushes, nothing seems to work - totally jammed - lol!!


Shannon - that dress is really beautiful!! I cant wait to hear all about your cruise!! Are you doing any excursions?

Elisa - glad your friend is hanging in there - I cant believe she is at work!! One of my friends lost a baby to SIDS last year - it was heart breaking, but they have held strong, and they had a baby just a month ago.

I made this yesterday. It's not for WDW. It's not shorter on one side than the other, just the photo that makes it look like that.

These are awesome! I've been getting the urge to scrap lately (haven't done it in a year, have zero time, but still LOL) and this may have pushed me over the edge!

That's a really cute dress, squirrel.

Ok - I am ready for bed so I will post what I have finished over the past couple days
I made Woody & Jesse out of A-lines with a ruffle around the bottom and the Giselle outfit was my own pattern from a top my daughter had but it is very similar to the swing top.
I still have a Bullseye dress to make for the youngest and I was going to cut out the fabric tonight but I need more before I can cut anything out.

I need to get a bigger dressform - putting a size 6 dress on a 2 form just does not fit - I had to lay a petti under thebotom ruffle to make it so you can see the whole thing.

I love the Toy Story outfits. Very cute!

Here is what I made for the kids for pics with bunnies day - a twirl scallopini dress for Emmy and matching tie for Jack. I will have to take some more pics of the tie, it is kind of hard to see, but I did it with the tutorial from The Purl Bee someone posted a while back - very easy to follow! I suggest adding a loop to the back of the front tie piece, though, so you can tuck and hide the back tie piece (if that makes sense...) I am so happy with how both turned out! And I will post the actual pics with the bunnies as soon as they come back...

These are so cute!! Absolutely love the bunny dress. Can't wait to see the pics.

Once upon a time there was a girl who liked Disney. Then she founds the DISboutiquers and decided to learn to sew. After learning to sew, she decided she really wanted to do embroidery, so....she bought an embroidery machine.

She loved the pictures of others' creations but always thought it a bit over-the-top to make outfits for a one day event....like....oh....a movie....The customs were beautiful but seemed like so much work for a 2-hour thing. And said to herself, "I will NEVER do that".

Then, one day this same girl found herself waiting impatiently for HeatherSue and praying that she was around her computer at 11:34 on a Saturday morning when, after deiciding at 11:15 that she was going to take her children to the 2:00 Alice in Wonderland showing that same day, that she MUST have custom jeans made by 1:15pm for her adorable daughter to wear to the move....

WHAT HAVE Y'ALL DONE TO ME!!!

Ha! Ha! Too funny!

Please say a prayer for a special family.
I work with a wonderful, sweet girl. Last night (5am) she received a phone call that her little newborn nephew (6 weeks old) wasn't breathing. She ran to be with him and his mom, (her sister). We heard in the morning, that the baby died. I cried the whole way home. It's just terrible. Pray for them, to have some relief from the emotional pain that comes with losing a baby.

Oh sooooo sorry! How heartbraking. I will keep them in my prayers.

OK - for the new sewer (that would be me) what is your opinion (all of you!) as to the best pillowcase dress pattern? I want to add a ruffle at the bottom, but I'm finding so many on the internet! I found this one: http://alittleloveliness.blogspot.com/2009/05/make-pillowcase-dress.html

but it is lined? I dont know I"m just looking to make that first, then I'm going to try the twirly skirt, before I sink my newbie teeth into my daughters Cinderella dress haha! (need some courage!)

I'm *totally* intimidated by all of you on here - you are so fantastic!

So I'm trying to get caught up on correspondence today. If I owe you one, please let me know! I'm always worried that I've lost track of an email or message since they can come from so many sources, i.e. Facebook, Disboards, direct email, etc.

I have 2 tute's one on how to make a double layer stripwork twirl skirt and another for a tiered twirl skirt on my blog. The stripwork skirt could easily be made into a regular twirl skirt.

Double layer stripwork...

Hi Everyone,

I need some help deciding what to do with this fabric for the Girls (Elizabeth, 7 and Hannah, 3) for Easter Dresses. I did the precious dress for Christmas, so a different pattern might be nice....its a silky satiny typer material - the raised area is like a satin ribbon that goes all over the fabric.

Please HELP!!!! lol!! I know you all can come up with something!!!

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

I love seeing all your creations! I can't wait until we moved so I can start sewing again...I missed my sewing machine. Just a few more days before our trip...we leave Thursday after picking up dd from school!

So pretty, Shannon. I love the fabric, and can't wait to see the completed outfit!

These are great!!

It looks great! My dd would love the fabric!
