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

[CastleCreations]

What a sweet baby! Did the vet mention to you about making her go potty? The Mommy either has to clean her off herself or you can use a warm rag to help her. Kittens don't go on their own at first.

Good Luck with her.

We've been using old washcloths to help her go...LOL, the things you do for your pets.
She is holding her own. I'm still encouraging the Mum to feed her and bottle feeding her inbetween. But so far, she's still alive....I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

How do I keep getting so far behind??? I finally caught up on the last 30-40 pages. So much cute stuff & so many prayers said.

Lisa - I LOVE the new skirt.

I do have some new pics to show off, but they'll have to wait until I get home.



Oh, and I have a new ticker!!!!!!!

Dang. I just checked to see if we'd gotten to page 250 yet and we're already at page 7! I need to quit my day job! Just kidding. Beautiful stuff ladies.

I haven't posted in a long time (and I never posted much) but I wanted to let My*Sweet*Sunshine to know that I used the directions from her blog to make a twirl skirt for my daughter's friends birthday present.

They are going to Disney next week. After I saw the picture I realized I should have lowered the embroidery on the tshirt, but she loved it anyway.

I don't know how to make the picture any bigger.

I'm also kicking myself, because I made a precious dress in size 1/2 for a baby shower gift and didn't take a picture. I also made the ruffled diaper cover to match. I guess I'll ask the mom to be to take a picture for me.

Help please!
Taking DD and DS to the rodeo tomorrow, and whippd up a couple of woody/jessie themed outfits (thanks for the inspiration!) I figured the kids would get at least 3 wears out of them this way; rodeo, DHS on our Disney trip, and the toy story 3 movie. Only thing is, onDSs shorts I'd like to applique more characters after the rodeo; so I'll have to open up the "crotch" seams. I always serge my seams, but don't want to on this because it will make it much tougher to rip open again; but will the shorts hold up for the day w/o an edge finish? They're denim w/lycra for stretch.

Thanks!

How about serging the raw edges prior to sewing up the seam?

I bought this adorable "birdie" fabric from Me & My Sister

to make the Mia Top pattern I bought

...but....

1. After the fights I have had with the Emma top I am scared to leave Carla again

and

2. The Mia takes soooo much fabric for one top and I don't want all my fabric to be gone to one place....

I need help....I can feel that I am developing a stash and by the time I use it Catie will be too old to want to wear anything I make What is a fabric addict to do??? And, you know, I totally blame y'all for this addiction

MMM

I have the same problem - I spluge, get some get fabric from the internet sites, get it home and I am afraid to cut into it!!!

I bought that pattern at the sew expo this weekend. I have to trace it but I hope to start on the top this week - your right, it does take alot of fabric!!!I think the fabric you got are great. That will be such a cute top. How about a pact - I 'll cut into my "good" fabric and you can make yours. I can't wait to see the finished outfit!!!!

That's a great idea- except I already sewed the seam- I'll definitely remember it for the next time I'll be "altering" something though- Thanks very much!

Then I'd probably go ahead and serge it, but leave the full seam allowance. Then when you need to open it back up, just cut off the serging and there will still be enough for a smaller seam (assuming it was a 5/8" seam). Or just leave it, and serge the raw edges as soon as you open it up, to keep it from fraying as you work with the garment.

Look - I am quoting myself. I just thought of way to conserve fabric. The underskirt calls for around a yard - (I think - don't have the pattern in front of me.) Make the top half of the underskirt a solid color and just put the "good" fabric on the border that wil actually show. That way you do not use as much fabric with the cute print on it!!

And FWIW..... I take serging out all the time... I use my shears to clip the VERY edge of the strings breaking the "overcast". The rest of the serged threads can then be pulled out on their own in long strings.... at least they can from my cheapo machine.....

Hello and good evening ladies! I made the move

I love the Jessie top and Carla C romper is so darling!! I'm dying to know who I'm growing, so I can start sewing for this baby!!

You'll have to forgive me if this post seems a bit scatterbrained...I just got home from the Kindergarten parent roundup meeting and I'm having separation anxiety, even though the first day of school is still 5 months away

 

[sohappy]

Hi guys! I made it over. I am not even doing a good job of window shopping lately. I love everything that I have seen. I hope to post some new things after we move in April. We have a trip in May (with Kristine and her family) and I am only making 2 shirts for each boy and 2 dresses for Ash- much different than then 30+ shirts I made for each boy last trip!

I love that fabric! I think it will be so cute done up in that style top. I know what you mean about the amount of fabric some patterns use, though. It looks like you could get away with using a less expensive fabric for the 'underskirt' of the top since it doesn't even show. That alone would save 3/4-1 yd of the designer prints depending on the size you're making.

Help please!

They should be fine without the edge finish for one wearing. Washing might cause fraying but it shouldn't be too bad unless the denim is a really loose weave.

Whew. . . made the move

Surgery update!!

DGD3's surgery went very well. It took 2 1/2hrs and she has 60-70 stitches in the roof of her mouth. Dr had hoped to lengthen her palate by 1cm, but he was able to get 2cm. He was very pleased. She has a long road of speech therapy ahead to retrain the muscles in her palate.

She has to have liquid/puree diet for 10 days. He wants nothing past her lips. After 10 days then she will have a soft diet for the remainder of the 3 weeks. He wants her to use a baby spoon (soft spoon) and he wants it to go no further than her teeth, so we will probably have to feed her. Right now we are lucky if we get a sip of liquid and hour down her.

ACK..I almost got lost in the move! See what happens when work gets in the way of my playing!

So glad all went well/better than expected! I'll be praying for a speedy recovery!
