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

[mirandag819]

Has anyone seen a Pocahontas applique? Preferably one from the shoulders or even waist up, I am making Taylor a new Princess dress, and several people have commented on how she was missing from the last one, so I guess this time I will do 9 princesses instead of 8 LOL.... but I am having a hard time finding a Pocahontas machine applique. Has anyone seen one? I think Claire might have had one, but since her Disney ones are gone, that doesn't help much.

Thanks Ladies!

Good luck with Grandma's apron! I make my own pattern for that, so sorry I don't have a pattern to suggest.

Here's Aurora:

OMG that is gorgeous! And soooo original! I love it!

Oh wow! That's so neat! I always wanted to try and throw paint to make that dress

Thanks! When's the family reunion at WDW???


OK, I need to vent for a minute. I'm taking a girls trip in 8 days, I'm taking my 2 girls & meeting a friend that moved the end of last year & her daughter down at WDW. I have made all the arrangements, managed to trade my parents timeshare for a 3 BR place close for only $238, have my annual pass for free parking, am getting her cheap tix, & am making her kid clothes & a hat to match mine (only charging her for the cost of the shirts & shorts). So she's getting off really cheap which is the only way she could do it. I have all of the dinner ressies made & everything set up, but she takes soooo long to return my calls & e-mails that it's really frustrating me! She asked for a breakdown of the costs the other day, so I sent it & she still hasn't replied to it. GRRRR! I hope she winds up showing appreciation when we get down there. OK, rant over, thanks for reading!

D: Wow that's a bit careless of her! Now when my friends from florida are coming over here to california I'm going to try and be more helpful!

Tell your Katie I appreciate her enthusiasm!

I know it's likely to be warm. But first thing in the morning in CA is practically guaranteed to be WAY better than ANY time in FL last fall! So I'll bring it. I want to update this photo I took in June 2006. She'll probably just have it on for a bit, then change to shorts.

I love the lighter pink fabric! Not only is the morning cooler but the night temperatures really drop >< That's what happens when you build over a desert!

I took pictures of the pattern my aunt sent me last week. It is SOO cool!!!

Not sure if you can see it, but some great prices here!

And, I've always wanted a dress form, and I found one at a garage sale today!!! My brother and his wife gave me money for doing their taxes last week, so I used that to buy it. I paid $25.

I was going to call her Margarite, but Lydia says I should call her Margarita!!

Well, I have to run, the kids are in the car waiting to go to Pizza Night at Mom's! Talk to you all later!

Oh that apron looks so cute! I must make one for me!
Congrats on the dressform! Trust me you'll wonder how you did things without it

Not a great picture. My model is away, and she doesn't always co-operate. I CASEd this from someone on the board. Using the peasant top from YCMT. I liked the button idea, but Kirsta informed me that Snow White had a yellow "line", not buttons. And the red ribbon should be at the top, not where I put it. I made the hem in a hankerchief style that is popular now. And I'd like to find red bike shorts to go with it. I think it looks really cute on. Hopefully I can get her to model it for me, so you can hav a better idea of how it looks.

That is so cute! I think the buttons are a cute idea! Someone's a stickler for details I'm a lot like that but I'm all for creative changes

Ok...finally got a couple pictures taken and loaded into photobucket.
This is the outfit I made for the Big Give. I hope she likes it.

And then, just because I was having so much fun appliqueing, I stitched out Alice and then had to think of something to put her on.

Isn't she cute?

Oooo they are both so cute! I love the skirt of the first one!

I finished my grandma's apron Took me around 2 hours (even though I had to recut it because I accidently cut it upside down!) and I'm so happy with it! I used an apron I had already as a pattern aka carbon copy of the design

I can't find my camera so I used my cell. You think she'll like it?

 

[ellenbenny]

does anyone know of a pattern (like on YCMT) that does a shirred back like this...

Ooh, I love them. I think she will love the minnie dot outfit and Alice turned out so cute!

Heather has a Pocahontas cutie., but it is the whole body.

I lost my quote for the dress form....I am so jealous! I have been scrounging craigslist for years trying to find one! On a sewing website I belong to there are tons of women who feel the same way about they form being naked. Some have even made a special outfit to keep on her when she isn't used! I have even seen one decorated for Christmas.

LOL! They're so much help, aren't they? I'd love to see the dress!!

I only got things cut and embroidered yesterday...so as soon as I have something put together you will be sure to see some pics. I am so proud of the Figaro I digitized I have to show it off somewhere!

I love how that Minnie set turned out...the Minnie dot was just made for a Scalopini wasn't it? I love all the coordinating prints on Alice. She is one of my favorites but the new movie kind of scared my dd so she won't have anything to do with her right now....hopefully that will change if soon so I can CASE that dress!

 

[aksunshine]

I'm so glad you got it to work! My machine will refuse to sew if it thinks I should use a different hoop, too. I'm sorry I didn't think of that! I have a Viking Designer 1 machine. I was also wondering if you needed a different file format because I thought VP3 was for Pfaff machines. But, it sounds like it worked on your Viking.


!

That was the format I was told I needed. I just go by what I am told, LOL!!!! I'm still pretty much clueless!

Anita, I love both! I have yet to make a scallopini, I have the pattern. Made LOTS of stripwork! That Alice is very cute!

Question, when you do a tshirt like that, do you take out the side seams?

Oh wow! That's so neat! I always wanted to try and throw paint to make that dress

Very cute!!!!

 

[teresajoy]

Well, LMK--I'm only 6 hrs away! Maybe I need to stay an extra day in May to meet you!



Love them!

I think you do need to stay an extra day!

1.)Oh that apron looks so cute! I must make one for me!
Congrats on the dressform! Trust me you'll wonder how you did things without it

2.)I can't find my camera so I used my cell. You think she'll like it?

1.)Isn't it an adorable apron! And, the dressform may be like my serger! Before I got one, I didn't think I'd use it much (but I wanted one!) Now, I don't know how I sewed without it!

2.)I think she'll LOVE it!!!!

Good to know I'm not the only nutty one!!! I almost ran back in the house to get a t-shirt or something to put on her!

 

[HeatherSue]

I miss my Aunt Penny . One of my greatest regrets in that M never got to meet her. They would have gotten along famously! They both like the same foods


And my Grandma was named Marguerite. (Are you SURE we are not related Teresa?) LOL

I feel the same way about my Grandpa. I really wish my kids could have met him. They would have loved each other.

I just have the cutie, sorry! Have you tried Diva's Doodles?

I can't find my camera so I used my cell. You think she'll like it?

She's going to love it! It's perfect!

Hi ladies! I love reading your threads & seeing all the gorgeous outfits you make! I'm just starting DD's dresses for our trip in May (need to get moving on them!!). I'm almost finished this Cinderella dress but can't decide if it needs anything else to make it a little fancier. Any ideas? Maybe a satin ribbon to tie in the back? I used CarlaC's Simply Sweet pattern for the top & improvised a pettiskirt pattern for the skirt part. Chiffon is definitely a pain to work with, lol.

This is really beautiful. Is it with nylon chiffon?

 

[aksunshine]

First design from last night. I decided the heart didn't stand out enough, so I switched the satin stitch colors today.

So, yeah...I can't sew very straight. I'm working on it! And centering could be better. I plan to find a way to make my embroideries centr better.

I am going to make some for family members who are also having babies this year. Itll give me more practice. I think this would be really cute if there were ever a baby sibling for a Big Give. It's something I could do!!!!

 

[aksunshine]

Hmmm...I tried to post from FB, I just see x's. Guess I will have to upload to PB.

I leave in less than 2 weeks!!! I wasn't planning on making the girls anything, but we are going to Universal (probably Islands of Adventure) so now I'm thinking they REALLY need a Universal outfit. Something Cat in the Hatish. I really wish I had some material, but I think I'll try to make do with just some red and white stripes and the blue..We'll see how it goes!

Or.....


I could sneak into Tessa's school and "borrow" the curtains that one of the teachers has up, they were Dr. Seuss print! (for CURTAINS! )
