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

[CastleCreations]

By the way, where did you get the fabric for your AK Feliz?
Nini

Hi! I got it at Joann's. Most of it was all together, but the animal prints were in the quilters cotton.

Who Dat!

Got to get sewing. Now we need Superbowl outfits. Who would have thought.

That is exactly what I have to do this week too....but mine will be blue and white I woke up with a text message from my little sis with an order for her little 1 month old...lol.

Can someone tell me if CarlaC's easy fit pants pattern includes the measurements for shorts? I know I can figure it out with a pants pattern but it is easier to have the measurements. I don't like to do the math.

 

[tricia]

That is really cute. Love the butt ruffles too.

Here is picture of the vida's I did last year for my 2 DGD's and their best friends. All of the dresses are a size 2/3 just varying lengths with 5x7 appliques.

Gotta agree with everyone else on the cute factor here. And the Vidas are awesome.

Very cute.

Those look great. Just the perfect pairing with polka dots and the pirate fabric.

Great job! Love the outfits! I had a question on the boy's outfits though. Do you guys think there is an age limit for boys with matching shorts? Since I have three girls the boy stuff confuses me! I don't know what is "not cool". We have two nephews who are going with us in April and the one is a little guy (8 months) so he will look adorable (I think) in the matching shorts. My other nephew is going to be almost 9. Is that too old? Should I just stick to shirts with store bought shorts that are khaki or denim that I could applique a design on?

And while on that same theme...when are the stores going to get their t-shirts out? I need short sleeve blank tees and have had a really hard time finding them for the little 3 that are going with us. And for the boys in general I have a hard time finding tees that don't have a pocket on them. Don't the stores understand I have sewing to do????!

I have an 8 1/2 yr old boy, and he tends to only want to wear easy fits as PJs, not as shorts. He was all for appliqued T-shirts, and bowling shirts tho.

That is very pretty. Good call with the blue shirt, it really pulls it together.

that is a great dress. Love the matching purse too.

So cute. Love the jeans.

I'm looking for a dress pattern. I found it the other day and forgot to bookmark it. It's a dress, with a sweatshirt pocket on the front and then a hood with a long tail?.

Anyone have a clue?

Guess you got your answer. Did you find one to buy yet?

Yes.

Speaking of Big Gives - I really need a 2x yellow tshirt for Piper's mom Amanda - I have searched everywhere around here!!! I need it ASAP too!!!! Any ideas anyone???????

If you have tried Wal-Mart, Target, Old Navy, and Michael's, how about a Lane Bryant store? They are more expensive there though.

Hi ladies and Tom;
Finally finished the outfits for Gavin and his siblings for the give; here's a sneek peek and comments:

My DD who's helping model is quite a bit smaller than the recipient, don't worry, the outfit should fit and is actually capris LOL.

Here's a really bad pic of the three outfits together; the sun wasn't cooperating:

Finally, a close up of Heathersue's applique design:

For those interested, got the pirate fabric and minnie dot (had the minnie dot already) from Joann's, along with the black Kona cotton.

Great job Nicole - I love them and I am sure they will too!!

Here is Lily's Valentine's dress and raggie bows. I decided at the last minute that she needed the blueish shirt. I'm glad I did. I like it. She didn't so much at first. I put it on her and she pushed the sleeves up and said she wanted them short because she didn't want to look like a lunch lady. I have no idea what she is talking about and I'm pretty sure she has never seen a lunch lady????

Absolutely beautiful!!! I love the brown print band on the bottom. I would never have thought to put that together but it is fantastic.

This is a dress my Mother made....she is quite taken with the feliz pattern...

I would like to schedule a month or so that your mom would like to come live with me....She did a fabulous job!!

Rebecca was in the mood to model for me, yay! lol The t-shirt isn't hers, but she wanted to show off the whole outfit. She'll have one to match, but it's not done yet. Another great HeatherSue design! She's grown taller but not wider, so I'm just adding ruffles to most of her jeans now to see us through the rest of the winter.

Really cute! Great way to add life to jeans!! I have added many ruffles to pants legs but never the decoupage also. Love it.

NaeNae - somehow lost my quote but I love the picture and the vidas. Those are some really cute kiddos!

So, Saturday was supposed to be my sewing day. Of course it was messed up a bit by my youngest having a tummy virus! So, instead, I traced and cut out my new Vida and Feliz patterns in sizes for both girls. (I though I was being so smart! All of the size 3T/4T I traced in pink and all the size 10 I traced in green to make it easier to see the pieces at a glance...) I literally spent ALL DAY on them! I traced them on freezer paper so I could iron the pattern pieces on the fabric and not use pins...unfortunately...I FORGOT TO ADD THE SEAM ALLOWANCE!!!!

I guess it will be back to the drawing board...once I get some more time!

Nini

Nini - you can always use them as is and add the seam allowance when you're cutting. And, with adding the seam allowance as you go, you won't 'shave' the pattern as you're cutting it out. I assume they have a 5/8" seam, which means you may have to mark it by hand, but if it's a standard 1/4" seam there's lots of gadgets to do it.

BIG GIVERS! IF YOU HAVE PUT UP WITH MY UPDATES THIS WEEK - I HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT I NEED FOR YOU TO SEE! PLEASE TAKE A LOOK!

So, I need some help. I've signed up for the Big Give a couple of times, under 2 emails, and have never been able to actually sign in. I'm sure that I was deleted in the great cleanup that just finished, and I'd put in for a new account just last week. Any advice on what to do when it keeps saying your email's not in it's records?

Happy Monday!

Hi I posted a few pages back but I was wondering if anyone had any special ideas for the Disney cruise. I have one DD who is 5 and I really want some special things for her to wear on the cruise. TIA

I'm not an admin on the Big Give board, but I do know that new memberships were not being approved last week. I know that it had been mentioned that those that had applied for membership would be reviewed beginning today. I would think that new members could expect to see approval pretty soon.

I'm sorry, I must have missed your original post. Have you check the group photobucket (it's linked in the first post of the thread). Are you looking for inspiration to make something of your own?

Oh my goodness! I love them all! The t-shirts are sooo cute and the dress is so much fun! I love the bright colors on all of it. Perfect for celebrating a New 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.

Thanks all for the sweet comments on the Beatrix Potter dress!! Of course I tried to get DD to try it on this morning and she ran away from me!! Not a Mommy day I guess?!?



The diaper cover pattern is from YCMT - How to Sew Fancy Ruffled Diaper Covers by TieDyeDiva and Monkeysbugs



I really like the bloomers in Simplicity 2872 - the Disney Fairies pattern (size 3 - 8). But the seam runs front and back, rather than on the sides.

Love the dress and the bloomers. Thank you for posting the bloomer pattern. I have it now in my wishlist.

So here's the Valentine outfit I made for Ella . . . That's my first machine-embroidered t-shirt! It was a bit of a challenge, but it turned out ok! It doesn't show up really well, but there's some big rick-rack on the bottom contrast. I still have one more fairy friend to stitch out, then assemble the skirt, so hopefully soon I'll be able to post those.

Adorable. And I love the bow in the back.

Here is Lily's Valentine's dress and raggie bows. I decided at the last minute that she needed the blueish shirt. I'm glad I did. I like it. She didn't so much at first. I put it on her and she pushed the sleeves up and said she wanted them short because she didn't want to look like a lunch lady. I have no idea what she is talking about and I'm pretty sure she has never seen a lunch lady????

So cute. Love the touch of Sis boom fabric.

This is a dress my Mother made....she is quite taken with the feliz pattern...

Great work Elisa's mom.
Elisa, Your AK vida is gorgeous.

I think you have already been lead in the right direction but I wanted to add that I love the Olivia underdress pattern.

I LOVE this!!!! Lori, you make the most adorable outfits!

These turned out so cute! And, thanks for your thoughts! I've thought about buying that round neck pattern, but wasn't sure about it.

What!!!! That's not going to really happen is it???? But if you do end up drinking it, please invite us over so we can watch the after effects!
I'm sure it would be funny! And if you do drink it, you might want to start out with something a little less "stiff" than vodka!

You know me too well!!!

And Lily is too funny! Lunch lady!

The outfit and your daughter are adorable!

Quick question for all you CarlaC girls...Just got the easy fit pattern & am ready to try it out on some pj pants for Gianna. I typically do a Simplicity pattern (4 pcs) but here is my question...I was reading the instructions & it says to do a 2.5" hem? Usually I serge the bottom of the leg and fold it twice then topstitch, 2.5" seems really big to me. Am I misunderstanding how to do this?
Thanks

I don't usually add the big hem at the bottom. It bothers me to have that much material around my ankles. Just adjust the length to accommodate the new hem size.

Thanks...I think I will adjust the length to the narrower hem, dd has sensory issues and the wider hem will be above where her socks hit so that will most likely bug her. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

I think that's a good idea then.

Can someone tell me if CarlaC's easy fit pants pattern includes the measurements for shorts? I know I can figure it out with a pants pattern but it is easier to have the measurements. I don't like to do the math.

yes, it does.

Hi Deb! I'm not sure why you couldn't log in before, you were all registered. The passwords are case sensitive, so that could have been the problem. Like Shannon said, we were not approving new members last week, but I went last night and you should have received a verification email. If you need to know the email you signed up with, please PM me and I'll look it up for you.

I'm sorry if I made it sound like I just did a big cleanup of the site. We've actually been deleting inactive members right along.

 

[GrammaBelle]

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..

Love this. I was hoping to think of something along this line with 4 variations for December; even if it ends up being 4 twirl skirts, I love these fabrics together!

 

[GrammaBelle]

big givers! Last call! If you haven't checked in this week, you will want to do so!
http://s3.excoboard.com/exco/thread.php?forumid=68828&threadid=705639&page=1

I tried to sign up last week but it said there wouldn't be any new approvals till the 25th. Hope I get approved today so I can see what all the excitement is about! I'd really like to get involved in this.

Yes I want to make something myself. I dont have an EM but i have a friend who does. I just need some ideas of cruise related things.... :-/ lol im not very creative.

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.

I love this cake. My husband is a big popcorn fan so I may have to case this for his birthday this year (if that is ok with you).
