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

Here are my first few attempts as some pillowcase dresses for my DD2...They look kind of OK from far away, but once you get up close, you can see the er, umm...lack of straight lines!

Don't know why the last one is so big...I changed the size on photobucket?..

Oh, and they only look crooked and distorted...the angle of picture taking was not optimal!

Those are all I have been brave enough to try thus far, since I can't even get them right. :rotfl: I will be attempting more though!
 
Finished the Vida w/ the butt ruffles FINALLY!!!. Whhhhhew! What an adventure.

DD loves it. She likes to twirl in it.

:cheer2:Hello Everyone
This is my first post, I stumbled across your site by accident and have been an addicted lurker for about three weeks. Let me say i am so inspired by your group and i have learned so much from you. I have had my vida pattern for 3 months now and too afraid to attempt it. Last night I got up enough nerve and did it. All becuase of you ladies. Thanks. I will post a picture soon. I just wanted to give credit to you for being such a giving group of people, and soooo talented.

I just had a special request PM to repost this outfit, so I am obliged to do so. That, and I don't get to post nearly as many pictures as I'd like to anymore. :thumbsup2 So, here's the outfit I made Tessa for our trip last October. The skirt is the twirl scallopini and the top is a pattern I made up a few years ago. But, a modified simply sweet would look much the same.

Since I'm feeling nostalgic for our trip, and I'm regretting not having written a trip report, here are a few more pictures from our October free dining extravaganza visit to 1900 Park Fare!
Me and the kids with Cinderella:

Teresa got such a great reaction out of Lady Tremaine in this shirt!

On a final note, Tessa and I made beignets from her Princess Tiana cookbook that she got at the book fair. They were awful! I've never fried anything and I used canola oil. It made the whole house smell like fish and they had a fishy flavor. I suppose I should have used a different kind of oil?

Good old Louisiana goodness. How many mornings did I eat them for breakfast........??????

You have to use veg. oil. Easiest way to make them is to get the frozen bread rolls (can biscuits work if you need to use them), flatten them out, drop them in when the grease is good & hot, shake them in a bag of powdered sugar when you take them out the oil.

We love Benignets and will try your easy way in the morning, Thanks so much for the great ideas.
 
Yay for Hannah!!! Yay for you, in particular! I miss the days when my kids napped!

Thank you. You are always so sweet:lovestruc.
Well, my sister may disagree with the "always" part. ;)

Here is my 3 month quilt that did take 3 months. I learned a lot by making this quilt as it is only my 3rd quilt ever. I use to make customs for our trips and a few gives but quilting has become my new obsession or insanity, I haven't figured out which one yet.

That is fabulous, April! WOW!!!

Are you trying to take a photo through the window?

Here is a photo of a flying squirrel that often frequents our birdfeeder

th_139119831_ocGX6-L.jpg


I also have an "in flight" photo, but can't find it right now.

Our bird feeder is on our deck and if I'm really sneaky, I can walk out on the deck and get a photo as long as I don't get too close. I just use a flash.

If you are trying to take the photo through glass, the best thing to do is get your flash off-camera and angle it so it doesn't reflect off the glass.
I've never seen a flying squirrel!! What a little cutie!!

does anyone know where to grt tink ribbon? thanks!!!!
I'd say JoAnn, Hancocks, or Hobby Lobby. I don't know for sure, though.

Finished the Vida w/ the butt ruffles FINALLY!!!. Whhhhhew! What an adventure.

Where were you before I tried to make them from scratch? LOL! Like Tessa said, it doesn't matter that they didn't taste good because we had fun making them! Next time I'll use the frozen rolls, vegetable oil, and powdered sugar in a bag method! Thank you!!

We have ADR's are 1900 and wondered if I should make something for DS to wear? I like the cute outfit you made for Sawyer, do you mind if I CASE the general idea? How did you make it?

CASE away! I was copying Disney anyway! :rotfl: I used Carla's easy fit pants for the pants and then just bought some gold cording stuff to put down the side of each leg. The jacket was more complicated because I used a commercial pattern. I made the jacket about 2 years ago using a Captain Hook costume pattern and modifying it a lot. But, I'm sure there is some other pattern you could use to make it more basic.

Ooh...I wonder if you could use the precious dress pattern with a non-poofy sleeve, elongated, and wear it backwards?

I bought the gold cording that I added to the shoulders and sewed it on in 2 rows.

Then I just draped the other cold cording (the same stuff I put on the pant legs) across the front. I hope I'm making sense!

The Princess & the Frog is a great movie, but it is still a very.....commercialized New Orleans/cajun film. It isn't really like that over here, so don't think we are all a bunch of "lightning bugs".

Don't trust their recipes either. That is commercialized food, not good food. If you need anymore cajun cooking help pm me. My mawmaw can make almost anything taste good.

Thanks for the compliment on the Vida & DD.
 
I finally have pictures to share:woohoo:. I never seem to be able to take pictures. The first is for my niece for Easter the second is just because she needed a princess dress. Just cause Aunt Lynn could. I can't wait to see her in them this weekend.
This one is her Easter dress. I LOVE the simply sweet pattern. It was sooooo easy

This is the back why this one showed up first I don't know. This is the Vida.

Thank you Heather! I needed inpsiration!

Too bad Sawyer wasn't scared this time. That YouTube video of 1900PF was hilarious!

Love all the pics! We are planning to try Park Fare in Dec. I may just have to make t-shirts for myself and DDIL when DGD wears her Cinderella dress. I love all your "cuties" and will definitely be purchasing some soon.

I get so many good ideas here that I don't have enough time to make them all or enough days for DGD to wear them all!

Heather- Love the Cinderella dress you just posted...gorgeous!
 
WOW!! Lots of beautiful dresses have been posted. Thanks for sharing. I"ve been having a hard time getting motivated. I've finally just started to work on something for our trip in June.

I spent this weekend working on this Cinderella dress...

100_3479.jpg


This is the Simplicity pattern 9383. Not an easy one but I love the sleeve style so I want to try to preserve that if I modify it.

I love this dress. The sleeves are great. So Cinderella.

I'm a newbie to this board and VERY new at sewing, but exicted to learn from all of you talented ladies! I have managed to finish a few pillowcase dresses for my DD2, but I honestly can't sew in a straight line most of the time! Can't wait to build my skills and make some cute things for my little princess!

Welcome to the group. Your dresses came out great. I think your lines looks fine. I think we are our own worst critic.

Can't wait to see your vida. I still trying to get one. Kirsta is really too big in size, but I think I can modify and make her a tunic style out of it with Bike shorts. I just need some motivation.

We got a deep fryer for a wedding gift (my husband registered for it)
I havent used it since I did apple cider doughnuts about 5 years ago...but I couldnt use frozen or canned.....is there a recipe to make them from scratch?


i plan to make my grandmother's sticky bun recipe on Sat for Easter...yummy!!!!!!
Takes all day to make the dough- but soooo worth it!
