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

[revrob]

My Grandmother actually does it by hand, she uses an ice pick I think. I am not quite that patient. LOL



You have been extremely helpful. I went to Joanns this morning and found the wing needle, and as a bonus it was on clearance for less than 2.00! If this works I will definitely go back and get all they have. While my Mom and I were standing in the needles section talking about it there was another woman who started chatting with us and once she realized what what we wanted to accomplish she told us about a rotary blade that makes the holes! Apparently she has one so she can crochet around fleece. The web site is skipblade.com I ordered the one for the flannel. I can't wait to see if it works. Thank you all for your fabulous help! Hopefully I will be posting more in this thread in the future. I am finally learning how to sew.

I'm glad you were able to find the right thing! And that blade sounds interesting! I hope it works out for you - I'd love to see pics of what you end up doing!

I finally finished the Animal Kingdom Vida. I LOVE these fabrics. I'm running back to get some more tomorrow. The front applique wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The back is ruffled but doesn't show up well in the picture..

WOW! That is stunning! Just fabulous!

Gorgeous...I just love those fabrics!!! Totally perfect! Great app and b.r. (butt ruffles)

Gorgeous! I love the sweet, feminine fabrics you chose. Glad I could help, you really made me feel good!


I wrote one HERE. Hope it helps!

I ordered the pattern back in June but I wouldn't even have attempted it without your tutorial. Same with the Feliz! I don't do commercial patterns anymore!!!

I'm actually kind of sad the dress is done. When I was working on it, I could just tell my daughter at bedtime that mommy was going to go put together more of her Snow White dress and she didn't call for us to come back or come out to talk to us again because she didn't want to interrupt the work on her dress! She got the best sleep of her life while I was trying to finish this dress. (I did miss, at least a little bit, her little head popping out of her room to ask for some thing or another, though.)

So lovely! And your dd looks adorable in it, too! And that's a cute story about her not wanting to interrupt your hard work on her dress! But, I know what you mean about missing her, too! It's like sometimes we just crave for uninterrupted time to ourselves, but then we miss our kiddos at the same time! Just part of being a mom, I guess!

Wow - this is just wonderful! I love all the elements here! I hope you don't mind if it inspires something similar in my future . . .


I finished a Valentine outfit for Ella last night and tonight am working on a Tink and friends. I'll post pics tomorrow of at least the Valentine, hopefully the Tink, too!

What a beautiful little Snow White. I wish Maddie would stay in bed when I was sewing for her.

I love it! I think I am going to try butt ruffles soon.

So stinkin' cute! I love the ribbons in the sneaks too!

Thanks for all the compliments. Those shoes came from Fred's dollar store and had the ugliest pink shoe strings in them. We had to do something.

I lost my quote of Julia in her little nursery rhyme dress. She is just too precious. I need to get to my walmart soon and get some fabric. They will quit carrying fabric in March.
My baby turned 12 today. She is growing up way too fast.

Hi Guys,
One of my bestest guys at work is taking his DGS to WDW on March 25th - it is his DGS 3rd birthday and the little guy loves pirates! I wanna do something for the little one.
It has been a while since I had a little boy sad1 - can anyone tell me what size the typical 3 year old is?

Also any ideas for a pirate themed something for him? They are flying so it has to be packable...

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I just make the bowling shirt using pirate fabric. A normal 3 yr old should be about a 3/4T.

I am finally finished Olivias SNow White outfit! Only took umm, 4 days lots of rippin seams because of careless mistakes and a few bandaids from pins and needles but IT IS FINISHED FINALLY!!!!!! Olivia loves it which always makes it worth it! HEre are a few pictures. THey are not the best but it is freezing outside. Olivia had to put it on to show the "People int he computer" so I figured I better post a few pictures for her lol

That is really great. Love how you got all 7 dwarves on there.

Looks great.

My Mom did something similar about 6 ot 7 years ago, chest pains admitted to the hospital. All tests came back normal, the pain went away and they never figured it out and she has never had a problem again. I am glad they ruled out heart attack for your Mom, I'll add her to my prayer list.

Looks like the same thing with my mom. They discharged her today, cause they determined it was not her heart, and she has not had any pain since yesterday at noon.

Yep it took a week but its finally done...one Valentine dress...to be shared!

Vida Pattern, Steph's tutorial, Heather's applique designs, Jen Paganelli fabric!....Thanks everyone!



I am now in the midst of making two Read Across America outfits!

Great job.

Looks awesome. So cute how she let you work without disturbing you.

That is just gorgeous. Love the fabrics. We just stayed at AKL in Sept., and the fabric def. reminds me of the place.

Thank you teresajoy for your help! I just ordered the vida pattern. I can't wait to get started!!

Butt ruffles on a Vida. I HAVE to CASE this. And I LOVE the applique. Is it done by hand or did you purchase it somewhere? Beautiful work.

I have been lurking along, loving all the sweet little girls and the lovely dresses. My little girl just turned 9 so she is getting so big compared to the sweet babies I have seen.

Anyways, I just wanted to agree with April. Little boys love the bowling shirt made with Pirate material and it is usually pretty easy to find some at JoAnn's or Wal-Mart. Use the size 3-4 from Carla's pattern unless he is a big guy for his age.

Okay I have been trying to log in and it will not let me. I resigned up so I hope this will fix it. Can someone PM me and let me know what is going on? Thanks

ok people, totally OT and utterly disgusting, but HELP! I can't stand to sit an my dining table and sew right now - the smell of sour milk in the carpet is making me ill.

Last week baby Belle got sick after she'd had a big glass of chocolate milk. While I stripped, showered, and changed her I trusted her mother and my husband to clean up the mess. Bad idea. They cleaned up what they could with towels and water, then sprayed carpet cleaner on it and scrubbed more...but not nearly enough.

Today, exactly a week later, the scent is awful. It's been raining for the last 7 days and the house has been closed up...yuck!!!

So, how do I get that awful scent from my carpet? I've thought about vinegar and water...or ammonia and water...bleach would be good then my husband would HAVE to buy new carpet, right?

any ideas?

We are going on a (sort of) last minute trip to WDW because we will also visit my MIL and FIL who are on their annual migration to Florida from Wisconsin to avoid the worst part of the winter, and they offered to help us out with airfare to come down and see them!

I had been working on a Snow White dress for my daughter a little at a time, but I hurried it up once I knew we would get one more use out of our annual passes before they expire! (Going to be at WDW Feb 1 - 5, and borrowing some of our DVC points from next year to stay at Animal Kingdom Villas, first time staying there!)

You can't see it very well, but I used some narrow, dark blue (matches the bodice) bias tape on the two long sides of the cape that I think really dressed it up. I also finally had NO trouble dropping the zipper in this dress, which I was very excited about!

I'm actually kind of sad the dress is done. When I was working on it, I could just tell my daughter at bedtime that mommy was going to go put together more of her Snow White dress and she didn't call for us to come back or come out to talk to us again because she didn't want to interrupt the work on her dress!

so pretty!

Elisa, I it!!! You did a fantastic job on the applique! Makes me really wish I was going to AK!

This sounds strange but have you tried vodka? I mean on the carpet not drinking it. We use it to take the stink out of clothes in theater.

 

[karamat]

Yay...found it and the coordinating fabric @ Walmart today!! And it was 1/2 off which made it even better!!

Sorry to hear of another WalMart losing the fabric department, but YEAH for getting 1/2 off! Of the 5 WalMarts around me that used to carry fabric, I think only 1 is left.

I'm glad you were able to find the right thing! And that blade sounds interesting! I hope it works out for you - I'd love to see pics of what you end up doing!

I saw info about that blade on the Project Linus website. I really want to learn to crochet! One of the quilt stores I frequent collects One-Yard Hugs at Christmas time (1 yard of flannel with the edges finished which becomes a small blanket) and I'd love to make some crochet-edged ones this year.


Some time back Shannon (RevRob) posted a picture of a Super Cute wrap dress - well I've been wanting to make one ever since then. And this week I finally did. I also added a ruffled diaper cover. I hope the diaper cover fits DD - the largest size on the pattern is 18-24 months. I'm going to look at doing a Franken-pattern with another bloomer pattern I have that is size 3 - 6, but has front/back seams rather than the side seams of this pattern.

My girls saw this and loved it. Too cute! I don't think I've seen a prettier blond Snow White!

No problem! I can't wait to see it when you are done!

I've had the same problem. The girls spilled a glass of milk in the living room and nothing I do seems to get the smell out of the carpet! I will try the vodka. If nothing else, I can drink it, then I won't care if the carpet stinks, right???

I really love that!

I love the dress, and I have been trying to resist buying this fabric. I love Beatrice Potter and I thing DD needs a dress in this material. I love the pattern also.

That's so true! Being a mom is full of contradictions. Pretty good job, though.

Well, that turned out just wonderfully. Love the fabric, love the butt ruffles, and the whole outfit is just cute as a button.
