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

[RMAMom]

Lori - The Wall-E outfits are just adorable. Great use of the fabric. I used that same fabric panel this past year for overalls but I cut out the wall-e and eve and put them on the overalls. I really like it. I haven't seen any of that fabric since.

Nini - so sorry that is happening at your DD's school. How very cruel. I hope you get some satisfaction and they do something about him this time.

I have been sewing for the past couple weeks. Still working on quilts but I took a break to make a BIG GIVE skirt (will post outfit when shirt is finished) but I thought I would post these now. I used the free 'Debut' pattern from YCMT. These were so fast and easy (and inexpensive to make).

I love them. I gave a couple of them to my DDs this weekend and they loved them too. I see more of these for gifts in the future.

I love the purses, I made it for my DD last month and we had the same thought. A great, easy and fun gift idea!

awesome bags! i used some of that same grayish silver fabric to make this bag for my aunt :

I really like your bags though. Will have to check that pattern out.

We spent the weekend installing new floor in our kitchen & boy is it nice to not be walking on the concrete anymore. We had to unexpectantly have a pipe replaced back in Oct that required them ripping out the floor through the whole kitchen. Hopefully now that its done I can get some sewing in tomorrow

Congrats on the new floor! I love the bag. I think I am becomming a "bag lady" because I seem to be collecting them with no idea of what I will use them for.

Hello everyone!

HOPEFULLY I am back for good. I ended up in the hospital AGAIN after my appendectomy because I got an abscess (infection) and had to have a PICC line inserted and was getting IV antibiotics for three weeks at home. It has been out for almost two weeks and I am feeling better I had missed you all, but had been busy with all of that. I did manage to make Isabel a valentine's outfit - I pick up the pictures at Sears tomorrow, so I will hopefully be able to scan them and show them off!

I hope everyone is well! Not sure if I will be able to catch up, but I will try to go back and see all I missed in the month I was gone.

Welcome back, I'm glad your feeling better.

Ok I"m new here so please be gentle.

I am a very beginner sewer - very beginner hehe. I have done some things, but I'll never be on Project Runway haha.

Anyway - I found a pattern for a Cinderella dress.....bought the fabric....and now am scared out of my ever lovin mind because I dont know if I can do this. Can you guys help me out? Do you know of an easy pattern for a cinderella dress....??

I'm trying to be the fairy godmother here for my DD, but my magic wand is not working!

Vester

If you google Scientific Seamstress you will find Carla's blog and on the left side of her blog she has a step by step tutorial on how to make a few princess dresses, Cinderella is one of them. Carla's patterns are very clear and easy. Have fun!

Ok I am just ready for this month to be over already. I think I am going to set up my little crafting area this weekend so I can sew up the new CarlaC pattern it looks super cute and simple, easy to sew up. I know that Peach would love it and look really cute in it.

I need to sew new things for her.... Poor thing. Another one of her friends died last week. In three months they have had 7 deaths at her school (four of them being a family. so so sad...) Friday there was a email sent out (since there was limited details), and today a formal letter that went out school wide. One of Georgia's little friends that is a grade below her (1st grade) was killed by her mother. They found them Friday morning in bed. Oh its so awful.

This one is hitting her a bit differently emotionally since she was rather close to her at school. The mother always said no to play dates to anyone that asked so we didn't get to know her more than just at school. But Peach played with her and talked about her since meeting her last year when the little girl started. She didn't believe it at first, and then yelled an angry "NO" and held back tears and came home and slept. She did her typical going silent after any emotional bad news (deaths, leaving, moves etc) and got to doing her homework rather quickly after waking up. It was the tears that really got to me. I had to fight them back myself to actually see my baby girl having emotion about this. She was a bit more easily upset tonight and angry so I kept things very routine and normal for her. Not to mention my mom was here over the weekend and left today, so that threw her off a bit too.

Im going to talk to the office in the morning after school starts about if she gets upset or angry and aggressive (more than normal) to give me a call.

Its just so sad and horrible, I just don't understand how a mother can do that to her child. I won't go into many details, because its just so awful. but the paper said she left a note, but didn't say what was written, and that they died from an over dose on pain pills..... If you could just say a prayer for the family tonight, and hug your babies.

I am speechless at the thought of losing so many from one school. Iwll keep your daughter in my prayers.

I just wanted to say that I think it's a great idea for your hubby to go to lunch in uniform! I hope it scares that bully silly! How horrible that you all are having to deal with this!

Vester- Welcome! Carlacs patterns are great, its not that they are sewn differently, its that they are incredibly detailed, but in layman's terms, so they have lots of photos and as long as you follow along- dont get ahead! You will end up with a great product at the end.
You could start with a cotton version for now, those fabrics will be easier to work with that satin or silk. You might try the cinderella Simply Sweet

REVROB's

HEY! I recognize that dress! Thanks for posting it! I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to seem like I was just promoting my own dress - but it is a GREAT option for a simple princess dress!



I wanted to share a sneak peak of an upcoming venture! I digitized and stitched this out this morning.

I love it!

This is where I sent mine too. The lady I emailed with was super nice & let me know right away when she received my package. MY only regret was that I forgot to take a pic of the quilts I made before I sent them in

I grew up right outside Lancaster so I was thrilled to be able to work with them

Nancy is super nice. I don't live far from there, and my sister and BIL like to ride up in the area every few weeks. I thought maybe they could drop them off for me. Stupid me, I forgot BIL was in Iraq! So it worked out nice that I could mail them.

Nini - I LOVE that your husband will be going in uniform! I know if I was a kid I would be a little worried. Katie had a kid bullying her earlier this year and I (even without a uniform) would go eat lunch with her and just give that kid the evil eye every time he looked my way. I had tried the teacher route and Katie had asked to not push anymore than that (she's at that weird 5th grade where there is a thin line between mom caring and embarassing!) so I just did the evil looks...or to homage MissCammie...the eyebrow arch! It worked and now the kid is nice to her...plus I show up at school for lucnh everynow and then and give him another look!

When my sister was in about 9th grade, she was bullied by 2 boys in school. They knew she was studying Karate and kept trying to get her to fight them. In Karate, your taught not to use your skill on other people, only as a last resort or your safety.

I guess the kids thought they had it easy, because she wasn't even 5 foot tall. And she still isn't as an adult. what they didn't know, she won the Grand Champion twice at that point, as a brown belt. Now you know I'm going to tell you that she got fed up and finally flipped one of the boys.

The school called my Dad in, and wanted him to punish my sister for using her Karate on another student. Dad just asked them what they about her complaints of being bullied. They said nothing, they didn't think it was necessary. Dad just replied, "so she took care of it herself". He got up and left the "meeting". She never had trouble after that.

Does anyone have the link for the cat in the hat hats. I think they were made from felt and a wish trip mom made them and posted them.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

And guess what arrived today?? My new machine!!! I have only sewn on a mechanical machine, so this one seems so fancy to me! I won't get to play much until tomorrow, but I can't wait!!

Oh it is beautiful, congrats on the new machine.

 

[Cand]

Hi guys!

I'm coming out of lurkerdom to join in. I've spent the last several nights pouring over old threads and Im simply amazed- especially with some of your applique abilities!

I look forward to getting to know all of you!

Pretty, Pretty- can't wait to see what you make first!

Hey guys, I'm new to this thread! I just had to post because my sister made the most delicious Tinkerbell gown for our goddaughter. We are taking her to Disney World for her 7th birthday. We're leaving tomorrow and she turns seven on Thursday! We are definitely going to be meeting with fairies, and also having a surprise dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table, and she has a gown that I don't think could be better if my sister was a FAIRY godmother! We bought an adult sized dress at Ross for $29.99 and altered it quite a bit to make this dress. The little jacket was $14.50 at Sears with their Easter dresses, it was originally white and I dyed it to match.

Here it is...

And here's the detailing on the back, you can really see the sparkle:

There's also wings, a crown, a sash, and little sparkly sneakers to run around in. We'll have the finished product photos when we get back!

Stunning! I can't wait to see how it all looks together on- she'll look fabulous!

Made 2 new summer sets.... I know it is not summer for everone yet, but it will be anyday!!!

Lori

Lori, I know summer's coming- eventually...but as it's snowing here it's hard for me to catch the vibe- however, the outfits are super cute!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Beautiful machine and huge hoops, you are going to love it.

These outfits are great!

 

[Uniquely Young]

You people (I have to speak gender correct, guys can sew too) have some amazing talent. I am very impressed! My DH loves when I talk sewing machines (Hah). I had to sign up here because I remember the times that I made custom's for my kid's and custom shirts for DH and then all his friends. It becomes a huge business then I got burnt out. Ready to start again I think.
Hope to see more of your creations. I have a niece who would love all the designs and outfits you have made.
Then I will pick your brains about the next machine to buy. Mooky had a great one at a very good price I think she got.

 

[eeyore3847]

These outfits are great!

Thank You!

Lori

I have it, but it's on my computer at work. I will get you the link in the morning if no one else has found it by then.

I am in !!! I keep convincing myself - I do not need to buy an embroidery machine.... I DO NOT NEED TO BUY ONE!!!! Then things like this make me say oh yes I doooooo!!!!!

 

[h518may]

I just had to share my first embroidery. I was very scared of trying this on a piece I was working on. It came out great.

 

[Adi12982]

Oh hunny! I hope and pray that you start feeling much much better ASAP! I can't wait to see those pictures of Isabel's Valentine outfit. I bet she is getting so big. You just take your time and rest up.

Glad you are feeling better!!!! Can't wait to see your pics!!

Oh no, sure hope you're healed up now; not fun, especially w/ a new baby. So sorry you've had to go through all this.

UGH! I hope you are feeling much better and on the way to a full recovery!

Hope you are on the mend now. Can't wait to see the valentine's outfit.

I hope you are on the mend and that the infections are gone forever. Glad to see you posting again. You were missed.

Adi- OH MY! Now you need to stay healthy! and that's that!
How is that sweet baby? We want photos!

Thanks everyone! I'm really hoping I STAY healthy - it has been rough, but I've been blessed with health that's been getting better I will hopefully post the picture of Isabel in her outfit tomorrow! Now off to do her bedtime ritual Glad to be back, and I feel so special that I was missed!! I hope not to fall behind again!!

Lori

well, it's usually close to summer here, too- was over 70 two days ago...and now it's snowing and schools closed- this is NOT why I moved to Texas, I assure you. Bet you won't be seeing anything about this winter's weather in the tourism brochures...

I just had to share my first embroidery. I was very scared of trying this on a piece I was working on. It came out great.

Cute! Great 1st job! Now you're going to be addicted, though

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

first, I was going to ask everyone's opinion, but the more I look at the photo, the more I realize I botched it and must rip out the left side...which I really wish I figured out BEFORE I hemmed and sewed to back at shoulder....

so, now Im posting to say- don't do what I did!

 

[PixieDust32]

Some are, but most aren't. Many of the machine applique are digitized designs, some are done "free hand" which involves making the design then cutting out and stitching the pieces down to make the design. For the digitized designs you need an embroidery machine that works with the format, for freehand applique all you need is a regular machine and lots of talent. Many of us purchase our digitized designs from a favorite designer on Etsy...her name is HeatherSue, and she's the one who makes me look good because her designs are so easy and fun to do!

Thank you! I wish I know how to make them, just to try, I know how to sew. Thanks again.

 

[Tweevil]

I used the free 'Debut' pattern from YCMT. These were so fast and easy (and inexpensive to make).

I love these and went to seek out the debut pattern from YCMT - I couldn't find it. Is that the name or something else?

These are wonderful and I think I could maybe make them for gifts - can you share the link to the pattern?

Thanks for your help!

 

[PrincessKell]

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I talked to the teacher this morning and she said that the counselors were coming today and that they would ask Peach if she wanted to go and talk to them. I also learned that they are bringing back the program they do for coping,life,and social skills counseling they do for special needs kids that are in main stream classes with no aids! That was great news to hear. There was even a permission slip in her folder this afternoon for the class. That baby was signed dated and put back in the folder asap!

I don't think the school could handle much more as a whole. That is one thing about her school, its pretty small, and the community pulls together very well.

This is what Georgia showed me she did today with the counselor. Its very sweet and special and she asked if we could frame it. Its of her and her friend, and her new angel friend.

oh i adore this!

Man, I feel like I have not gotten any sewing completed in forever. I did do a few crayon roll ups for friends, but nothing worth posting. My serger is in the shop and I don't want to sew anything for anyone outside of the immediate family without it.

I have done one thing that is kinda cool. My DS, Tyler, is having this hoarding problem lately. Does not want to give away or throw out anything. His PJ's were getting so small on him and some even had rips, so I made him a compromise and built these for him with a bunch of old pairs. The shirt is the Imke and the pants are Easy Fits.

Oh, and the new thing is that he does not like to have his picture taken, so the face was not allowed to be shown.

those are totally great. i love how they came out.

Great as always! Good thing Georgia was in bed she would want that Barbie outfit.
