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

[Granna4679]

Thanks!

Thanks! It is Carla C's Preppy Skirts e-book. There are 3 versions of skirts in this e-book, this one is the ruffled version.



Thanks!

Oh wow...I would never have guessed. I have that pattern but haven't made any of them yet.

Yikes - here we go. I guess they'll let me wear the Minnie dot at the parks? It's not too character-ish? This pattern isn't the most flattering for large busted girls, but it's too late now - I've made it, so I'm gonna wear it.

and here's the Mickey bling t-shirt

Pardon the mess that is my kitchen behind me - I might clean it up later - if I'm not too busy sewing! Oh, yeah - since I'm making excuses about my messy kitchen - I should add that the little quote saying behind me is: "Happiness is realizing that giving our children a good home is more important than a clean house."

Cute shirts. You look great in them.

Well, I worked on my quilts today....completely finished one of 3 and the other 2 are 95% done. Does anyone know of any embroidery designs for quilt labels? I need to put a label on the back of them and I thought maybe I could embroider them since I have a machine now.

Okay, I'm back with photos...
As many of your who read my FB page know, It's been a stressful week for me.Long story short, she was seen yesterday morning. She did have a concussion, she has a LARGE (4"x4") hematoma.
She can "maintain normal activities" but she can't run around, and another head injury right now would be very bad.
She is doing okay- but if her head gets touched or even slightly bumped at all she will cry in pain.
I have decided to keep her with my Mon-Wed and the jury is out on preschool for Thursday.

After going to the doctors she went to her circus. It was really cute. They all pretended (with the teachers encouragement) that a large playhouse was on fire. And then brought in a big toy fire truck to put the fire out- but that didnt work, so they run and get their spray water bottles and spray the house, then spray the audience- they were the best act!
The little girl I made the dress for was afraid of the crowds so I really didnt get to take pics of her.

ruffled butt

I had to make something for Hannah to match her sister....I really love this outfit, I made the pants in 1 hour at midnight!!!
YOu can see thru the painted smile that Megan isn't at her best here- she didnt end up having much of a nap and was a bit cranky.

Love the clown outfit. I pray she will be okay and not in any more collisions for a while.

Thank you everyone who answered my questions! I would quote them but I dont know how!

 

[teresajoy]

Teresa: The skirts are ADORABLE and the girls are so cute in them!

QUICK QUESTION: Has anyone used gold metallic thread in their serger? I'm going to do a Christmas Belle and want to do a rolled hem edge on the sleeve organza from this. Am I likely to have "issues" with this?

Thanks Janet!

When I made the Tiana dress, I used a regular gold metellic thread in my serger. I didn't have any trouble with it.

I love these, and I love the pattern. I think they look great on your girls, and a very grown up look with the 3 ruffles on the back.
.

Thank you! I have to admit that I was pleased that I only had to do three ruffles for each skirt! I love the look of ruffles, but I HATE ruffling!

Waaay cute!! I love them - the girls look great! I bet they are excited about your trip!!!!

Thanks Wendy!!! We are ALL getting excited! Even Brian was telling me how excited he was about it today!

These are the big give items I finished to go with the Mike Wazowski outfit I posted the other day... for Seth's big give.
I'm ready to ship. I'll post these on the big give board, and I'm ready for an address.

The Aurora top is much closer to the pink color in the polka dots in real life, this picture makes it look kind of red.

I just love these!!!

Love the skirts and your fabric choices. These turned out great and look good on them. They look like they are having fun. Can't wait to hear all about your trip. I hope ya'll have a great time.

Thanks!! I can't believe my trip is so close!

They are wonderful! I love the ruffle skirt... its perfect
Great Job!

Last night while hubby was putting the kids to bed I got to make a "little wallet" and it turned out pretty cute. Next time I need to use a different interfacing... what I had on hand was a bit to stiff.

I took one with the flash and one without... so the colors are a bit different.
The pattern calls for a sew on snap... which sounded easy enough and I put one on.. then I realized I should have swapped my placement of each part, so I took it off. I am actually thinking velcro might be more the thing?
So it has 3 slots for cards or whatever.

That is so cute!

Wow, Poor little girl!! I'm so sorry that happened to her! I'm glad you were able to get her seen.

The clown outfit turned out really cute!!! I love the picture of all three of you together!!! Adorable!

I LOVE THEM!! Children in motion are the only photographs taken around here with 4 and 5 year old boys The girls look so happy

They were having a VERY good time!!! And, they kept thanking me for their skirts, which made me

SOOOOO cute!!!!!!

TeresaJoy, my dd saw your girls skirts and yelled "I want that. Make me one right now" Ummm, ok. Really honey, I'm not that good or that fast, but thanks for the vote of confidence.

Oh, I love hearing that!!! Thanks for telling me!

Lori, you look adorable!! I think the tops look nice on you! Now, you are making me wish I had made myself something for our trip!

I only buy 1 spool of thread to do rolled hems...I am super cheap. I just put it in my upper looper and you can't tell. The only cones I have more than one of are black and white. Sometimes if I really want a solid rolled hem that is highly contrasting the fabric color I will get one spool of wooly nylon to put in the upper looper.

That's what I usually do too! I use to have some really neat metallic wooly nylon, but I haven't been able to find it lately!

I think it looks fabulous and I think it will be just fine!

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

Sally...that is a good idea...but I have a mini van...no hiding there!



LOL...my hubby's only comment was with all that fabric I could not have possibly stayed on budget..I told him I came in 25 under budget...he then said he didn't want to know what my budget was!



Nini

My excuse is usually "I'm going to copy an outfit I saw on , can you believe it's going for $$$?!" He then thinks I got a great deal, and I'm incredibly talented! We just don't talk about the times I bid on and won an awesome LisaZoe outfit. Those just seem to magically appear in Rebecca's closet.

I love both of the shirts you made. The Minnie Dot looks so cool. Perfect for sunny Florida.

I LOVE the first one the most! I think it looks GREAT!!!! So cute!

I finished my first Heather Sue outfit. My Tiana is a little off center, but not as off center as it looks. My dd doesn't mind.

I'm thrilled because my dd LOVES it.

The bottom is a peek a boo skirt and I put the frog in there. You can't see it in any of the pictures.

I went and looked at sewing machines today and as bad as I want a new one, I think I'm gonna have to stick to my 4 by 4.

The lady showed my a Janome embroidery only machine that had 5 by 7 but I think I'm gonna wait until I can get something with a 6 by 10. She took my name down, maybe I'll get lucky and someone will trade one in.

I'm looking forward to catching up on this thread tonight. I just glanced and saw some really cute things. I hope I get the chance to comment on them.

Awww...Look at her go! Very cute!

Thank you everyone who answered my questions! I would quote them but I dont know how!

Hi there! To quote several people, for each person click the "+" at the bottom of their post, it will turn red and have a "-". After you clickedall of your "+", on the last person click quote. It will multi-quote everyone you chose! Have fun!

After my shower yesterday, I went by the cemetary. Levi's stone has been set!!!! It was very bittersweet. I practically hugged it (I guess having something tangible got to me) and wailed. I'm surprised I didn't stop traffic.

Lisa said it was ok if I share these pictures of the Audrey skirts I made. I'm so excited, this pattern is SOOOOOO cute!!!!! Both of my girls absolutely loved their skirts!!!!

Here is Lydia in hers (this is size 7/8)

And, Arminda's is a 10/12:
The sun was in her eyes, so she is squinching up her face!

I wanted to get a picture of them together so I could get a front and a back picture at the same time, but they would NOT hold still!!! They were very excited, and just wouldn't stop moving!

I plan to use this pattern for the Universal Studios / Dr. Seussish skirt too. I am still planning that one though. I need to hurry, look at my ticker!

I love the skirts Teresa! OM goodness! 5 days! You better get to work girl! lol! Have a great time on vacation!

I am sorry to hear about your week. I hope everything get's better soon! An entire week of stress really hurts so hugs for you! The clown outfit is amazing! You did such a great job and your daughters look so cute! I bet your little clown was the star of the show!

 

[HeatherSue]

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Just needed to say that...I feel better now!

Will June get here SOON!!!!!!

Beautiful stuff everyone...back to work now!

[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

SO pretty!

Aww..cute! One way to save on buttons would be to cover your own buttons with some Disney fabric. You just buy the little button kit and it's really easy to do.

Hi Everyone. Sorry I haven't been around. I have officially stopped sewing. I even have some projects unfinished, I'm just completely done. I will be giving away my fabric and a few of my machines soon, so I will keep you all posted... most likely on facebook. I have been lurking and admiring everyone's new creations.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen you around much! I'm sad that you're not going to sew anymore.

LOVE IT! Actually, I love both versions!

I'm happy to report the DGD6 made level 4 team in gymnastics!!! Thanks to everyone for the prayers and well wishes. She was so excited. The handed out letters at the end of practice to the ones that made it. She came running to DD and I all excited saying I made it, I made level 4. In the car she told me she was "duper, duper excited" (instead of super duper).

Yay Ellarie!! You must be so proud!

Hello Everyone!
I have been following this forum for about two weeks now and I just wanted to say that all you ladies are amazing. Before I found you guys I didn't even know you could possibly sew like that, my eyes have been opened!

Well I have a couple questions to ask if anyone is up to answering them. First off let me say that I'm very new to sewing, I have only done curtains intell recently I "tired to make a baby quilt for my daughter" which still isn't finished. So I can practically sew in a straight line and that's it.

My hubby just got me a brand spankin new sewing machine for my birthday since I want to start making my kids clothes. It's a Necchi (is that a good brand/machine)?

So here goes some questions...
#1 What do you recommend to have for sewing besides a sewing machine?
#2 what's the difference to buying patterns on ycmi or a pattern from walmart (McCalls)? Which do you prefer?
#3 How in the heck do you all make perfect appliques? I have watched the video on the front page and I'm still lost. How do you get the head so big and the eyes perfect, etc.
#4 Does anyone use the cricut to cut their fabric?

I have more but I forgot. So thanks for your time and I look forward to some feedback!

It looks like most of your questions have been answered pretty well, so I'll just say to the thread!!

That sounds like so much fun! You all look gorgeous!!

Thanks for your continued prayers, guys- My dad got moved to a skilled nursing/rehab facility and is doing well; my uncle is in a coma after a lot of complications and we just don't know at this point what will happen; the dog seems to be doing a bit better. Sorry I'm not posting more; I am trying to keep up, it's just a rough few weeks over here

I'm sorry things have been so difficult lately.

Now it's PERFECT! Love it with the ricrac and the daisy!

I am so excited! I just finished my last class and now I will be free to do more of the things i want to do, like sew and be creative and spend time with my beautiful grandbabies!!! thanks to all who gave responses on what the topic of my theatre research paper was going to be. I ended up with a title of "Disney makes theatre family friendly" which allowed me to focus on the magic of disney and all the fun family entertainment available. I feel pretty confident that my grade will be good, so thanks again, and if I can figure my camera out, I will be posting things soon!

I wanna see pictures!

Hi Everyone! Happy Weekend! Love everything posted - my goodness the talent just overflows!!! Love the Big Give things too!! ADORABLE!!

I just finished up the Sea World part of Daniels trip!! If you want to follow along its here...

Thanks!!

Thanks for letting us know! I'll be reading it today!

I am beginning to doubt my color choices for Joci's Dory dress. I picked an A-line. I have a marblized-ish orange color picked out to put Dory and a phrase on - I have a cream color with multi-color dots of different sizes on it as an accent ruffle on the bottom but I don't know if I am liking the mostly orange right now. I could use it as the lining and use the dots as the main side - do you think Dory would get lost among the dots? I was thinking I could make DOry on a solid color and cut it out as a big dot and sew it on the cream color and use that background color for the ruffle on the bottom. Which I like that idea. Or I could not do a ruffle at all but this dress is for the girly-girl in our family. Yeah - have to have some kind of ruffle.........ideas? remember it is midnight here. I leave in T-minus 80 hours and have 2 overnight shifts to work between now and then...

Could you post pictures of your fabric? From what I'm picturing in my head- I think Dory would look best on the orange fabric. If you put her on the dots, she will probably get lost.

I plan to use this pattern for the Universal Studios / Dr. Seussish skirt too. I am still planning that one though. I need to hurry, look at my ticker!

I know I already told you this, but I just adore these skirts! The girls look so cute in them!!!! I love the blue Mickey fabric with the yellow, black, and red!

TOO CUTE!

I took one with the flash and one without... so the colors are a bit different.
The pattern calls for a sew on snap... which sounded easy enough and I put one on.. then I realized I should have swapped my placement of each part, so I took it off. I am actually thinking velcro might be more the thing?
So it has 3 slots for cards or whatever.

Such a cute little wallet! I hate sewing on snaps, so I would probably go with the velcro.

Soooo, if hubby asks how much I spent at Joann's today...do I start with how much I SAVED...$124...or how much I SPENT...$125...

I should be busy for the next few weeks!

Nini

Definitely start with how much you saved. I also like the other idea of leaving 1/2 of it in the car.

Her clown outfit turned out SO cute! I love all the embellishments you added! I don't think it looks like too much at all, it's a clown outfit after all! I'm so sorry you've had such a rough week.

I just love the look on her face in this picture (I hope I quoted the right picture). I'd say she's really happy with her new outfit! GREAT job!

Yikes - here we go. I guess they'll let me wear the Minnie dot at the parks? It's not too character-ish? This pattern isn't the most flattering for large busted girls, but it's too late now - I've made it, so I'm gonna wear it.

LOVE your shirts!!! You look so cute in the minnie dot! I also love that sign!

That is SOOOO cute!! If I didn't despise my arms so much that I never wore anything sleeveless, I'd absolutely wear that to the parks!! Hmmm, maybe I need to lift weights between now and December. OK, maybe some jumping jacks, too.

So, do you think I can get arms of steel in the next 20 days before our trip? Me either.

Just wanted to say how PROUD I am about miss Ellarie. She got evaluated on Wednesday and found out on Friday that she made level 4 team in gymnastics. She is so exctied and she did her best, I'm just so proud of her. She is just now old enough to compete, so here is to a year of busy schedules. The sad part is doesn't look like trip to the world will be happening as much.

That is so awesome!!!

After my shower yesterday, I went by the cemetary. Levi's stone has been set!!!! It was very bittersweet. I practically hugged it (I guess having something tangible got to me) and wailed. I'm surprised I didn't stop traffic.

Sorry about the pink blob reflecting on the granite. That is me....

It is beautiful, Alicia. I read the poem on the back, just perfect.

 

[HeatherSue]

Here's my Audrey skirt I made from the test version. I love the way it turned out! Tessa wanted me to make a Spongebob skirt. First she wanted me to make the front yellow and put Spongebob's face on it. Then, I got to thinking of where his eyeballs would fall... So, I had to nix that idea and we went with "Spongebob-esque" flowers on the front instead. I still want to make her a Spongebob shirt to go with it to wear at Universal Hollywood.

Lisa gave me the go-ahead to post some pictures. But, the pattern isn't out just yet! This is a 5/6, lengthened to a 7/8.

The settings on my camera were a little screwy for some of these.
