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

[livndisney]

I have a question that has probably been asked a million times...I read thru Heathesues tutorial for hand applique, but my question can you do this on a tee shirt or do you have to take the seams apart and applique on the front of the shirt then sew back together, or can you sew onto the tee shirt as a whole....does this make any sense?

I don't for a tee. There is usually room to work around without have to cut the side. I just slip the front of the shirt under the needle and bunch up the back.

Thank you so much everyone. This will just mean more than you could imagine to this family. This trip will be a celebration of Life and Health - a magical trip of a life time!!! And they asked us to come along!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!

If you could say a quick prayer for Daniel. His last chemo is supposed to be Tuesday, but he is in the hospital right now with a central line infection. Pray that he clears it by Tuesday!!!!!!! Teresa told me you were asking for more recent pictures, and Im working on getting some of the other kids (they dont have a digital camera to send me some pics) to show you too!!
Daniel - when did he get so teenagery and like that piratey skull and crossbone stuff?????


Prayers said for Daniel. I'm thrilled that you get to go on their trip.

I did not get a chance to get in on their Big Give since it closed so quick but I'd love to send him a card if you think it would be ok. You can PM if you'd like to give me the address.

I finally finished one Read Across America Day outfit....I think its in March but this one took two weekends and I have another to make so I started early. My DD6 designed the whole thing. I started out with a Vida in mind and she thought of the patchwork twirl and the top too. I used Carla's Precious Dress pattern but I just extended the bodice. The skirt is her Patchwork twirl. Carla digitized the words for me and the applique is from DigitalByDesign. And the fabric is Michael Miller a mix of "ta da" and "plain jane" and some red dot thrown in for good measure And my friend, RevRob, was the source of the Cat in the Hat fabric and ruffle in the skirt!!! Thanks EVERYONE!!!!!

Too many pics coming right up!!!

Sitting by the window like in the book but instead of rain...we are getting snow!!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!!!

CATHY! THAT IS FABULOUS! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! (yes, the caps are intentional!)

 

[dogodisney]

I LOVE the Cat in The Hat Outfit!

They were still closed today.
I need to go buy some batteries for our smoke detectors. Thank you for the reminder. Actually, I think we need a few new ones.
A few years ago, our 3 year old nephew died in a house fire. They scare me so much.

!

I am so sorry to hear about your nephew.

Love this! You did a great job!

That dress is just beautiful. What stitch did you do around the cherries, it looks wonderful!! I love the curve of the top.

The stitching was in the pattern. That's why I liked it so much. It's simple but neat.

Adorable

Looks great! I have been a supporter for those who think they can't shir for a while now. It really is nothing to be afraid of. I was for a long time until I attempted it! I posted something very similar to you. I was surpirsed how easy it was. How did you figure out the width you wanted? Did you double it and then shir? or just shir a large piece and trim what you needed? That can be tricky for me.

Thanks! Actually, I used a pattern; otherwise I don't know if I could have gotten it; it was the Whimsy Couture Bow Twirl dress.

Oh my heavens, that is really, really cute!

Everything that has been posted is really nice.

While the snow fell outside, I was busy inside.

Emma needed a blue fairy dress for school on Friday so that was first up.

And the Lily wanted a skirt...but then she wanted a dress...sigh.

And the twirl factor.

 

[angel23321]

Oh...those were really big pictures...sorry about that.

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

These are lollypop covers...I was originally just making them for Rebecca's preschool class, but when my big girls saw them, they wanted some too. It didn't seem like many at the time, but I've got 9 different colors of felt, each one makes 3 covers, and there's 4 different designs. So I bought 36 pieces, not really doing the math in my head as to how many that would really make. I found the design on ETSY, its all done in the hoop (4x4) and it's really easy...I just had to send my pinks out for sharpening before I cut all these, I've got a nice pile to cut and trim threads right now.

 

[twob4him]

Nanci...what a great idea...I could maybe make some of those....would u mind if I case?

 

[billwendy]

Cathy , Angel and Nanci - soooo cute!!

Those are very creative and look easy to make. Have fun and I know the kids will love them.

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

Nanci...what a great idea...I could maybe make some of those....would u mind if I case?

You can case, but it's not original...the design is on etsy and the seller has it copyrighted. I'm not sure how that works, but I thought you might want to know that. It probably only matters if someone wanted to sell them I guess.
