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

[Granna4679]

We went to Disney on Ice this weekend and they have a preshow where they have some gowns on display. Of course I thought of you all.

Very pretty. I love Mary Poppins with the pink boots too!! We have never been either. It just never seems to come at the right time. Or maybe we just stay too busy to schedule it in....

Awesome purses! I really love that silvery material!

Great sets, Lori! And no worries, I sew summer here year-round! Or at least until the Navy decides to move us this fall....

I feel so stupid, but I can't figure out what is wrong with it. Looks great to me! Love the fabric....

THANKS for all the compliments on the purses....I really had fun making them and can't wait to finish all of my "promised" projects so I can get back to making these kinds of things.

Just had to add...this makes me kind of sad and anxious all at the same time. My DD(23) and new hubby are awaiting their first Navy orders (any day now) and I am sooooo scared they are going to send them somewhere far away. Hawaii wouldn't be too bad though....at least I would have a new vacations spot!! Ha!

Me either!! I am glad I am not the only one. The only thing I saw is that the panels (side, front, and side) don't have same flower in the same place (does that make sense?)....but hey...I would wear it. It is adorable.

Hi Ladies,

Everyone has really been sewing some amazing pieces! It looks like everyone is ready for summer to be here. We are too. I love the snow but after 3 months I'm done. I've seen this already can we change the channel now? Oh, wait I live in Northern IL- no chance.

Here are a few things I have done over the last few weeks.

These were not meant to be together, but she likes them together.

She picked out both fabrics by herself.

Kate loves Groovy Girls and thought that the girls on this fabric looked like them.

My little fairy. I cased this from a black and pink Mickey skirt on a past thread. I lost my link and cannot remember who it was from. I think she even posted a separate blog with instructions. Thanks to you!

I wanna see some grass! Soon!

Oh! I really like the kimono looking tops! Great job!

Looks lovely! I love a good mushroom.. *points to screenname*
What pattern is that?? Very pretty. Is it an altered Feliz? that is what It reminds me of.
Oh I am just realizing maybe this is a prepurchased dress? if not.. next time stitch out the design before you make the dress. Maybe that is what you did? Idk.. I'm scatter brained!!

The dress is by the same company that does the feliz. The pattern is Tuolumne http://www.banberryplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_3&products_id=117

I sewed the dress not being sure I would add anything to it, but saw this little mushroom in looking at embroidery desighns and thought it was perfect for this dress.

Thanks to everyone about great coments.

MinnieVanMom--I never even thought of Alice in Wonderland, Ash wouldn't sit through a movie yet.

I have been checking in everyday, I just haven't had time to post. I have seen some beautiful things posted. I, too, and getting ready for Spring. I have been working on Maddie's wardrobe. I hope to get some pictures up soon when I get some stuff finished.

I am very sad. My Walmart is getting rid of their fabric department, too. What are they thinking?

 

[WDWAtLast]

Finished my first project with my new machine and my first applique! Thanks to Heather's awesome tutorial, it was much easier than I thought it would be! While it isn't perfect, I am happy with it for a first try! My daughter came home from school sick (earache and fever) and didn't want to model or be in the pic.

I

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

thank you !

Both dresses are adorable but I think the Barbie is just the cutest!! I may have to steal that idea soon.
upsidedow

Thank you

That is just adorable!


Lori, I love your work and your little girl is growing so fast. Summer will never be here, it was -19 yesterday.

Thank you and she is growing up so fast... Too fast! -19 is cold... wow, I don't think it got lower than the 40's in the day here in AZ.

you did a great job on your first try! I am planning to try and use my new machine this weekend, so hopefully I will have some pictures to post soon also.

 

[ireland_nicole]

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!

I love it!

I thought I'd share two pieces I just finished up.

Please excuse the rain boots (she's in a phase) and the unfinished floor (remodeling!).

I dont care for the wide straps on the first dress. I may rip them out and do something thinner.

Cute! Love the rainboots

That's really good for your first try! I would totally wear that! Well done- and be careful, it's super addictive once you get started

They do keep the show moving. I am just a Disney dork though I did tear up a little when Tink flew.

At our arena the pre-show started an hour before the show. The gown were set up on the 3rd floor outside of club seating. Before the show it was packed you could hardly get near the gowns. The 2 princesses that are there come out and wave on a raised platform. You can not talk with them.

However there was an intermission and at that time you could get close to the gowns. The princesses were not out but it was much easier to see the gowns.

This was at intermission. The gowns are on the left. See all of that open space. Before the show it was wall to wall people.

They were in Philly Xmas 2008. They were in a heated tent outside. You would enter the building the way through the tent. I think we had Snow White as the Princess.

We love going to the Ice Shows. We've been doing it for years.

Okay, I don't have time to quote- have a bronchitis thingy going on and have to figure out dinner.

But I really love the cute stuff that was just posted! your skirts are super cute and remind me of CarlaCs scallopini skirt. I like your fabric choices! I like the stripes!
strawberry shortcake fabric is cute!

Thanks to all who gave input on my tunic- yes, the left panel is not symetrical to the other 2 panels, I ripped it out and cut a new one at midnight last night....the side design needed to be moved over, ideally, I would have liked all the same flower across the middle- but I would have really had to destroy my fabric to get to it- so I settled for the same flower, but recut, so its off to the side. I'll post later.



Oooooh, good news! DH just called and he will bring home Boston Market!

 

[PixieDust32]

The link is on this thread, on page 1. I'm looking forward to trying the procedure out for myself, a bit apprehensive but the tutorial makes me feel confident I can do it.

Thank you I'll check it out!

My son just brought home a note today from school saying next Tuesday they are celebrating Read Across America. He needs to wear a creative wacky hat following the theme of Dr. Seuss' birthday. He doesn't want to wear a Cat in the Hat hat. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

Dawn

Can you find some cool cat-n-the-hat fabric (or make some iron-ons of his favorite characters to put on a solid colour cotton?) - and make an easy bandana to wear around his head? Just a thought for something relatively quick and easy.

What about a fishing hat and you can make felt fish to hang from it for one fish two fish red fish blue fish?

I can sympathize with you on waiting for orders. The Air Force sent my DS and his family to Oklahoma, I am in NJ. I'll say a prayer that they get station somewhere in driving distance and if they can't be close to home then hopefully close to Disney!

We have another snow day tomorrow so maybe I can get Emily's Easter dress finished and maybe I'll even have time to start on another sewing project.

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

[/QUOTE]

Oooo...my dd's would love something like that! It would be so cute with their doll's name embroidered on it.

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

Lori

My DD says she must have a barbie set now! That is so cute! Do you mind sharing where you got your barbie embroidery file from?

 

[gretchenohar@hotmail]

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.

Could you please tell us if you used a pattern for this dress, and if so, could you specify which one it is?
I absolutely adore this dress - and your embroidery!
Gretchen

We went to Disney on Ice this weekend and they have a preshow where they have some gowns on display. Of course I thought of you all.

Belle gown on display.

Sierra in her Tiana wedding gown in front of Tiana's blue gown.

The last platform had 2 princess come out and wave.

Cinderella had the perma smile stuck on her face.

Tiana was beautiful.

There were a few times I thought she was going to fall off that platform.

So if Disney on Ice comes near you go check out the gowns.

how fun. Georgia really wanted to go, and even told me that she knows its not that far away because I watch the news every morning for the weather and she remembered where San Jose is and where Sonoma is on the weather map and its only a few inches. hahahaha I wish we could go, but with the move we don't have any spare change just yet.
