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

[clhemsath]

Where in NKy are you? I live north of Cincy and work about 5 minutes north of the river.

I am just now making it to the new thread. It's been a busy week at work and we're only on day 3! Don't they know I have Dis-ing to do?

And my first attempt to quote, so we will see what this looks like! OOOOHHH, I think it worked!

I am in boone county, and work in covington.

The snow is really coming down today, I am glad to stay inside. I am going to start trying to make a pettiskirt tonight. I just hope it is not too frustrating.

Hi everyone! I am floored at how talented everyone is in here. It makes me nervous to join in. But I am planning to make a special outfit for my best friend's daughter's very first trip to Disneyland. I am going to find out what she wants and then hopefully get a pattern from the youcanmake.com this site that you guys have recommended. Her daughter will only be 2 when they go, so I have to think about comfort, I don't have kids, but I know comfort will play a factor!

I can't wait to scroll through more of this thread for ideas! Everyone's outfits are so beautiful, if I can make something even half as nice as the things you have posted- I'll be thrilled!

When I start my quilt class there will be two classes that I have bring my serger and Brother machine to the class. Will it be ok to just carry them in without a "suitcase" ?

A few months ago I was on one of the disboutique threads and saw a pair of overalls that one of you very talented ladies had customized with ruffles and Minnie mouse appliqué. They were adorable! I am trying to find the images so that I can possibly tweak the design to make Dorothy ones for my niece. I tried to do a search, but could not find them. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks a million!

I am finally getting around to posting our trip report from our October trip. Darla made to many cute things to not post a report. Anyway I want to give credit where credit is due. Soooooooooo are you ready for another exciting game of "Name that Case."

Who was Case'd.....

I'm not sure exactly which outfit you are talking about, but I made one like this:

I make the panels in a trapezoid shape. For this dress the 4 white panels were I think 6" on top and 12" on the bottom, the 4 black were smaller, with the bottom 6" I think. I do it this way so that my ruffle factor for the top isn't crazy, but the dress is still full. It's made a lot like a strip work skirt, you just have to make the panels big enough to fit your design.

That is perfect! Is that based on Carla C's Simply Sweet top pattern?

So I bought fabric and matching bows last year and finally got around to making Lily's S'mores Vida. She wore it to school yesterday and it turns out their theme this week is snowmen!

It has a lot of butt buttons (you know, like butt ruffles?) but she insists they don't annoy her when she sits on them.

This is so stinkin' cute!!!!!!

Seeing that s'mores fabric reminds me of my most favoritest dessert recipe ever!

Indoor S'mores
12 graham crackers
1 bag MILK chocolate chips
about 1/2 bag mini marshmallows

3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup REAL butter (do not use margarine - it just doesn't turn out well)
1 teaspoon vanilla

1) Preheat oven to 350
2) Arrange crackers on a well-greased cookie sheet (if you have extra space on your cookie sheet, you can fold up some foil around the edges to make a "lip" right next to the crackers so the sauce will stay on your crackers and not run all over the place.)
3) Spread chocolate chips over the crackers, then marshmallows.

4) For sauce, combine brown sugar, butter and vanilla in a sauce pan over medium heat, stirring frequently until mixture thickens and bubbles at edges. Pour over crackers.
5) Bake about 10 minutes until marshmallows are just slightly browned.

Be forewarned: these are extremely dangerous! Also, don't make these and take them to a family or work function unless you want to make them for every function from here on out - I learned that the hard way! If I ever bring something different, I get in trouble!

oooo.....I'm so going to try this!!!!! Thanks for sharing!

Jessica made my daughter an adorable Snoopy and Charlile Brown vida for Christmas. however, she liked the Snoopy side more ( the back) so wore it in reverse. i honestly don't think anyone would ever notice but us guys! Anyway, if those butt buttons start to bother her, just rotate to the front.

Great! Thanks. Yep, the top is the waist length, Jumper style top with ruffle straps that Carla has on the Simply Sweet. It's very easy to make!

Lily is looking awfully grown up these days! I LOVE the s'mores vida and the matching bows and the butt buttons! (Plus, butt buttons is just fun to say.)

mmmm...I feel the need to run to the grocery store for marshmallows and graham crackers.

That is adorable.

The Butt Buttons are cute, and I can see how they would not be a pain, there is a big circle in the middle where a bum can fit comfortably.

good thing it's a tiny bum!

I am going to Hawaii next week (please don't hate me! I can't wait to see some sunshine!) and I would love to check out any local fabric stores on Oahu. Does anyone on these boards live there? We'll be in Honolulu, but have a car and will spend one day driving the perimiter of the island--I'm sure hubby won't mind a stop or two to look at fabric

Have a great trip, and be sure to share with us when you get back. Do an internet search for fabric stores in HI. I wanted some Hawaiian fabric and found quite a few. My order came in just a few days. But obviously that wont' matter to you. haha.

Didn't Teresa make that Jasmine first for her neice? Both outfits are so cute!

I was thinking it was Teresa also. We saw it on a Big Give. There was Jasmine for one of the girls and Ariel in her pink on land dress. Darla made an Ariel print dress on that give.

Just passing by tonight and had to say I love this! I tried to find this material last year and couldn't. It is Moda, right? I love how you put that together with the Vida...which right now is my favorite pattern!

OOPS! You may be right!

Hi y'all, finally finished DD's Birthday dress

Her birthday is in 2 weeks, but all we're doing right now is going to dinner; no cake, gifts, party, etc. because we're going to celebrate her bday at Disney in June (we're going over her brothers actual bday- again, and we can't take her out in January, so we figured we'd just wait and celebrate in June- and she's completely on board. Still, I at least wanted to make her something special to wear that she could use for both. She got to pick a lot of things about this dress, so she's (I hope) gonna love it.

Thanks to Heathersue for the designs

Sorry for the terrible pics, I'll try to get better ones tomorrow- maybe on her, although she may have to wear a turtleneck under it- a cold front is coming through.

Here's the front:

and the back:

BTW, went to look at machines today, but just didn't feel right putting out more money while we're trying to get out of debt and save for the trip- well, I prayed about it; then went home and pretty much took my machine apart; put it back together and- it worked Hopefully it will stay that way at least until I'm done with the other 74 items for the trip

We are taking grandaughter in march to dw to celebrate her b-day, she saw the dress and wants one would you mind if i case it we will be using different favri she has already picked but she came back today and had to show the dress to her pawpaw so i hope you dont mind.
