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

[revrob]

I'm planning a Feliz w/ some new Baum Alice prints coming out next month; I'm doing it a bit shorter and pouffier than normal, if that makes sense; the line has the original illustrations which are a bit more lifelike than the Disney version. Basically, I needed a dress that would work both for the movie and for our trip in June (Caitie's doing the wonderland tea party, so of course we needed something fabulous LOL)

I have that fabric on order! I can't wait to get it!

I have been working on my antique quilts for the past week or so, so I haven't got anything to show yet. However, I did stop on Friday night and make a cake for my DGD5's birthday party so I am going to post that. She had a party @ the movie theatre so I made this cake for her.

That is fantastic! I love it - perfect for a movie theater bday!

Tink Vida made by Lisa...

So cute! And love the NYE ones, too! Looks like you kept Lisa busy!


I did finish the tink and friends outfit and hopefully, I'll post pics later tonight, but right now DH is taking me out to eat at Cheesecake Factory to celebrate. Celebrate what, you ask? My losing 30 lbs! Yeah, so I know that going out to dinner to celebrate losing weight is a bit of an oxymoron, but I've been good for far too long - tonight I'm going to splurge! Back on the wagon tomorrow!

Thanks for the heads up on this fabric. It looks adorable!! Do you guys buy fabric in quilt shops or online????

I'm curious if anyone has the newest Brother embroidery/sewing machine. I think it's the 6000D "quatro"... I drool over it every time I go to my favorite sewing shop.

This fabric I prepurchased through a coop, but I also buy online- usually from fabric.com (they have great sales and no shipping, plus a 37" yard). I also buy some of my quilt fabrics from quilt shops, because I like to help keep local businesses open; but I can't afford to do much of that LOL.

New Years Eve customs made by Lisa (ZoeDivaDesigns)...

Fabulous customs!

very cool! you know this is the sewing/cake decorating thread right?

Has anyone ever made bloomers for babies from the Easy Fit Pants pattern? I have a couple of other bloomer patterns they just aren't as "user friendly" as Carla's patterns. With twins to sew for I need quick and easy!
Thanks!
Erin

I've made toddler bloomers with them several times!

How about a sailor dress using blue fabric, red Minnie dot and maybe some white rick rack.

There have been so many things posted over the weekend and everything is beautiful! I get so much inspiration from this board!!!

I have been busy sewing for my daughters birthday. Her birthday is Sunday so I'll post next week in case she is peeking here.

Angie (Granna4679)Would you mind if I case the outfit you made for Piper? I want to make an outfit for my Granddaughter for Valentines day and I think your fabric combo is perfect. I thought I could make the easy fits with a simply sweet jumper.

Thanks,
Mary

Castle Creations/Elisa has made some gorgeous cruise customs!

Tink Vida made by Lisa...

Soooo gorgeous!!!! And I love the jacket your daughter wore with it, too! She looks so cute!!!!

I decided to whip up a little play outfit for Em yesterday, just some easy fits and top to wear to pre-school or the playground. Let's just say I went a little overboard - I am so happy with how it turned out! Looks like something Elle Woods would have worn in Legally Blond!!! Not play attire now, but I think it is fine with school, just the top and pants...

For School:

Petti Power: (Target Petti - Didn't make it)

All Together:

Can't believe it all started with a 7/8 yard remnant of the hippie print from Wally's!!! Woo Hoo!

And I lost the quote, but someone asked about the peek-a-boo skirt - I have made three of them and find them very easy to make. I don't make it as a stand alone skirt, though - I just leave off the yoke and attach it to a simply sweet or criss cross top and make a dress out of it. If you can make a simply sweet, you can make a peek-a-boo!

I can't say I ever looked at official football fabric. Good luck still finding it. I couldn't even get my cell phone to work last night b/c every cajun was on the phone clogging up the lines. It is crazy, but I love it.

Looked like $6.98 was a good price, and then I found a 10% off coupon code as well. I'm thinking with judicious pattern choice and fabric usage I might be able to get two seasons' worth of outfits from it--with even extra wearability possibly if dresses could become tops.

I didn't even try to use my cell last night. One of my friends commented that two things can disrupt cell coverage in LA...Hurricane Katrina and the Saints going to the Super Bowl. LOL

Thanks! i was the one who was wondering! I went ahead and bought the pattern today but the directions aren't nearly as good as Carla's are so hopefully I get it put together without any problems! I cut all of the pieces out this afternoon. Hopefully I get time to work on them tomorrow!

Hi Everyone,

I have 2 unrelated questions for you.

1. Has anyone been to Vogue fabrics? I have 1 about an hour from me and I was going to check it out. I can see from their site they have a good selection, but do they have good prices as well? I have Walmart, Hobby Lobby, JoAnns and Hancock not far from me, but I thought I might find something new.

2. Long story short, I have my Grandmother's wedding dress. I was thinking of using a piece of it to make a veil for my daughter's 1st Communion. Maybe a piece for the back and then have the tulle lay over it. Does this sound weird? I do not know how else to use it. The dress is satin and has a SUPER long train, but I do have other cousins to share it with. I do not want to/ cannot make bears, bags or blankets with it because I do have to share it. Any ideas?

Thanks Everyone!

Don't be shy - holler at me if you have any questions and I will be glad to help! I love the peek-a-boo and it is fun to make. Nothing is as good as a Carla though, huh? I often apply things I learn from her creations to other patterns!

I finally finished a tunic I started last year.

I think a satin veil for FHC might be to much. If you can't use it at all on the dress maybe you could make a bow out of your Grandmom's dress and attach that on the veil and have the tulle underneath like this one.

I prepurchased from a coop also (Nicole - cut from the same cloth? that's where I ordered)

that turned out cute! I don't even want to talk about the number of things that I've started and not finished. I found TWO Easter dresses that I started last year and didn't finish. I guess I need to get on it!

I actually thought about that too. I thought satin might be too heavy too. Thanks!

Okay, I am 15 pages behind (at least) but I had to pop on to say...

WOW!!!



There have been some amazing outfits the last few days. I will comment more later....off to Read "Polar Bears Past Bedtime"....

Darling! It's super cute alone, but I just love it with the petti!

Hey, at least it's in time for Valentine's this year, right? Seriously, though - it's super cute and I love the bows along the trim.

 

[glorib]

Here's the tink and friends that I've been rambling on about! This one was fun to make, although I wish I would have done the top a little different - not wild about the triangles now - yet another thing that was cuter in my head!

You finished- you just got a head start on it last year is all!

I prepurchased from a coop also (Nicole - cut from the same cloth? that's where I ordered)

That's too funny! I had no idea that you were in the same coop! I guess it's a small world after all LOL.

Super cute! Love the color combo
