Disboutiquers Part 20 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

Lisa, those are amazin!!
I'm curious, do you use Carla's raglan shirt pattern for your Ts?
I have had that pattern for a looong time now and never used it- and my next question is, do you think that pattern would work with knit for the torso and regular "quilter's cotton" for the sleeves?

I created my own pattern for raglan tees after taking a 'workshop' with a wonderful lady on :wizard: who sews with knits a lot. I use that basic pattern for my hoodies as well as the longer raglan 'tunics' for girls.

I don't know how woven cotton would work for the sleeves. I think you might lose too much stretch at the neckline.
 
Thank you so much! It doesn't matter where you live....just please call. Maybe we will get to keep our fabric department if you would all call and bother him. :laughing:
Here's the phone number again:
Here's the number: (269) 979-1628 ask for Troy.

Whew! I'm exhausted...I threw my dd a tinkerbell party with her friends today. It was so much fun though. the little girls even had fairy makeovers! they all seemed to have a good time.
Heather, thank you so much for posting that fondant recipe video link! It was awesome and by far the easiest and best one I have found for making fondant. It actually turned out! Hopefully I can post pics later!

That sounds like fun the makeovers. My dd is having a very unhappy b day tea party so I need all the ideas I can get I thought about making her a cake but have not done that yet. Any ideas are welcome
 
Thank you everyone for the kind words about my DD and I at Disney on ice. I am not sure the name of the show it was an ice skating show. I will add more pics soon. I love Lisa's toy story set. You are such an artist. That Anastasia set is so great. What size hoop did you use? There are so many great things everyone has made I love them all. Great work

The top of my cake was a teapot that I made out of rice krispy treats and covered with fondant. It turned out really cute. Hmm...a very unhappy tea party.....that is a little harder. For our tea party today I also made rice krispy treats, chocolate covered strawberries, jello-jigglers, cream cheese and jelly sandwiches cut into little shapes like flowers and hearts, etc. The little girls loved having all of those little snacks and then they of course each had their own teacup, saucer, matching plate, etc. they loved it and it was so fun watching them all try to act grown up. We had tulleing hanging down from the ceiling to the sides of the table (kind of tent-like) that had flowers and ribbon on it too. It was really cute. You could do the tulleing thing with darker colors maybe. :confused3
 

Shannon, love the FGM costume. I hate working with satin so sit back and admire those who have conquered the slippery stuff.

LKD - Those are amazing costumes!

Ellenbenny - I love the messenger bags. I really need to make something like that for myself since I can't find a bag I like to buy. I also really like the upcycled knit halter. I should see if Zoe would like something like that for summer.

Mommy2JulietJocelyn - I think the Anastasia set looks so cute.

I know there were more but the quotes weren't saved and I only had time to skim the last 10 pages. :goodvibes

I've been trying to keep up but haven't had much time to post. Here's one of the reasons I haven't had much time for the computer. I can't believe how much time I spent on this set! I think it came out well but it was definitely a bigger project than I'd expected.

I love this Lisa! the stripes on the arms really adds a nice touch.

Question for you guys.....

How do you sew on rubbery material? My feeders and foot wants to bunch up. For example, I am doing the front panel of a purse. I put ironed on interfacing stuff on both of the panels - it is a rubbery feel - and I have to put both good sides together (I will turn it later). I can't sew it straight to save my life-it grabs the foot or feeders. I did try to put the paper back on it but I can't see to sew the edges - does that make sense? I am afraid if I use tissue paper I won't be able to get it off. I think I used the wrong lining....

Any ideas?

Lisa...WOW as always! So cute for little boys.

Shannon - love the FG costume. You did a great job.

LKD - All of your costume are very pretty (as well as you). Keep up the great work.

I got my new embroidery machine a week ago and have hardly had any time to play with it but I did manage to get a picture of it and the first couple things I made on it uploaded.

I took my DGDs to Disney on Ice ("Let's Celebrate") today. They had a great time. Thankfully, I took a few pictures of the outfits and them wearing them before we left because I didn't get any good ones of them there. I took them by myself (ages 5 and 2) so you can imagine why I didn't get too many pictures. This is the oldest in her Tiana outfit (as she called it):

And the little one in her Mickey outfit. I did the appliques (with the pre-loaded Disney embroidery from my machine) on the shirt and the skirt.

I almost forgot, I have something to post! :thumbsup2

Does it help if you dampen it while you are sewing? I think there are special feet for sewing with things like that too.

Your granddaughters are so cute!!! What dolls!
those outfits are wonderful!! You did a great job! I've had that skirt pattern forever, but I've never made it. I always love it when I see it!

So cute! I love that skirt style.
 
We're back from Disney and had a FAN-tastic time! Here are two pictures of Epcot day, the girls all had Minnie dresses in their own style and the Mommas had rosettes so we could match too! If you're gonna go all out, do it at Disney right? :cutie:

Problem is now I am completely hooked and want to start on a whole new set for our September trip. :) I'm even bummed we will only be there 4 days which limits me to 4 outfits!
 
I wasn't going to post until all the shirts were done but this come out so well. Thank you friend for helping me out!

Its beautiful! Great job!

I have been multi-tasking the last week or so... three projects at once.
I started 2 round neck tops/dress, a tote bag and the coffee cozies, all around the same time. You all saw the bulk of the coffee cozies and tonight I finished the tote!
SDC10935.JPG

I am pretty pleased with it.
I saw it on the cover of a quilting magazine and had to buy the magazine, that was months ago. So I am happy to have found the time to make it.
 
Do any of you ever do any of your appilques by hand sewing - like needle and thread, putting you fabric in a regular hoop - not on the machine? The Squirt applique I am making - I just don't trust my free machine applique skills yet to do the little details - so here I sit between patients hand embroidery the spots on Squirt and will probably do all his facial features too. Does anyone else do this?

This is how I first learned to do the appliques. Takes a bit longer but works.

I will give it a try - I seem to have trouble with everything. lol

Wow nice job!


And as usual I screwed up the multiquote thing and lost some... ugh...

I love everything that has been posted! Love the minnie dot sets too!

I buy my customs, not make them, and for a short trip... well... there's always changing for dinner, isn't there? :rotfl:

BEAUTIFUL Teresa! Great job!!!

Where did your satin come from?

I'm pretty sure I'm doing a Tiana gown soon. I don't think I"m doing satin (probably a panne velvet??) but I'm still curious!

EXACTLY what I was going to say!We are going for 10 days times 7 people (2 of which are girls and need dresses!) I am making one days outfits per month and I still have to come up with something for MVMCP! We are doing matchy t shirts all around and it has been so fun coming up with ideas to match the girls dresses!

...my hubby even asked me what I was going to do next year after we get back? Hmm...thinking about starting to sell stuff...who know!
