Disboutiquers Part 23 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[woodkins]

A few of us have the Brother 1034D its a good beginner serger at a great price and there are a ton of youtube tutorials if you need them. I bought mine at HSN.

I also have this model Brother & it is great. Super easy to use and I have been able to do serging of seams and rolled hems with no problems at all (and I consider myself a beginner sewer).

I haven't been posting anything too exciting because I have still been working on my yankees baby bedding set. I think I am mostly done, although I may make a fleece tie blanket as I still have enough yankees fleece left to do one, just need to pick up a coordinating solid color some time this week.


This one shows the quilt, the bumper pads, and a little pillow I made:

The diaper stacker:

And in this one you can see the crib skirt, set up on my dining room table since I don't have a crib to try any of this on:

Gotta tell you I LOVE this set. We are big Yankee fans here, so it is a huge hit. I didn't realize it was fleece & I was trying to figure out where you found Yankee cotton. You did an awesome job, it looks sooo professional. The mommy-to-be will be speechless.

A couple of pics of the outfit for Mallory's MAW Big give:

Back:

Wow! That is AMAZING!!

LOVE it all- but that Minnie dress- she needs to be on a hanger- is that white piping at the collar I see? HOW SWEET!!!
Love the pillowcases with embroidered names- really nice touch! I like the extra wide accent pink fabric too- really makes the pillowcase- cute princess fabric too- (I know Tom made a sweet dress feliz? with that and I always think of it!)

Love it all.

I want to try pillowcases for Valentines Day gifts for the kiddos.

Those are great. I'm sure they will be well loved!

So sweet I bet she loves it! I love the pillowcases too.

What a nice set! Those kids are going to love the outfits and the pillow cases.

Absolutely beautiful. How wonderful that you share your gift of sewing with others.

These turned out so nice... I love everything - they are going to love them!
D~

The shirt and the dress are so cute! The pillowcases are neat! I might have to make a few of those!
I also sometimes just use a pencil. I have a fade away marker that I use a lot.

The dress came out so cute and I love the bowling shirt. Great job on the pillowcases.

Thanks for the positive feedback on the Give items. I like the suggestion of a hanger. Somehow that never crossed my mind! I will have to remember that for the future! Yes I added a white strip along the collar (though it was narrower than I intended). The pink fabric on the pillow case was actually added because I made a mistake when I was cutting (note to self: cutting fabric late at night was not a good idea). I figure that was the best I could do to salvage what I had.

I took a quilting class and the instructor said that she always uses a sliver of bar soap to mark her quilts. She said it works great and makes the quilt smell good. I have tried it once or twice and shes right, it works great on darker fabrics. The next time you have a very slim small piece of bar soap, put it in your sewing area.

I will have to try using the soap method - thanks.

I so wish I had learned to sew....my Grandma did everything...sew, knit, quilt, she actually made all my clothes until I went to school...luckily I have 3 quilts she made me over the years....my mom showed no interest in any of it, rather clean house and when I got older, my grandma lived too far away to teach me the only "sewing" I did in middle school was a disaster, but I used to cross stitch years ago...oh well, will just enjoy all the beautiful things you all create!

You may surprise yourself if you give it a try. I didn't sew for a number of years after grade 8 (when I made a skirt with an inch hole between the top of the zipper and the waistband). I just picked it up again when I was in grad school. I was making outfits for work within months of getting back in front of a sewing machine. The bottom line is that I think everyone can sew if they try.

Well, Im a little sad today - it would have been my Dad's 74th birthday today! It was always fun because he was 10 years older than my mom and she is 20 years older than me and all of our birthdays ended in the same number - he would turn the corner for us first. He graduated to heaven right after Billy and I were married. With being an only child, my parents and I were very very close. Thankfully God took care of my mom and gave us Bob (who is doing very well by the way) so she wouldnt have to be alone at such a young age (she was only a few years older than me when he died). But anyways, Im missin him today!! But, today is the day we celebrate Zoey's birthday - we are guessing she is 13 yo (not sure of her real age since she was a rescued doggie). Got her some new pupperoni treats and some Dingo bones - lol!! And she is sporting her Heathersue cupcake fleece today!! lol!!! THanks for listening, sorry for the ramble!! lol

Sending hugs your way Wendy!

That crew is so cute! I am sure they will get lots of attention that day!

Hi All

I just finished my Donald Duck t-shirt for the Big Give but not that it's off the hoop, I see hoop marks! Is there some way to get these off? Do I mist around the marks and then iron? Or would steam ironing take it off? I'm almost afraid to iron that I'll set in hoop marks! Please help!

My hoop marks always disappear after I put the item through the washer and dryer.

Well, I'm a bit worried, apprehensive, scared, confused and ...excited! Tomorrow morning I will be giving my very first official sewing lesson for beginners.

I have had so many people ask me for help in learning to sew, I decided this may be the niche I am looking for. (in a previous life I was a trainer at a large insurance company)

Since I have such a large sewing/quilting studio (complete with a overly well stocked toy room/game room next to it!) it really makes sense. I have room to have another 4 or 5 sewing machines hooked up...so I can also do a class on how to use your machine now that you've taken it out of the box!

My guinea pig class will be tomorrow morning at 9 am. I really hope it goes well...wish me luck!

Nini

Nini, I am sure you will be great and the students will learn lots from you. Looking forward to finding out how the class goes tomorrow.

Anyone have a serger recommendation? I'm just starting to think about picking one up.

I use a Singer from Wal-Mart for $299 (from Canada). I have had it for over a year now and I don't have any complaints.

You did a good job on the set. I am sure the family will really like it!

The photos you posted were the pillowcase dress. I don't know if you saw it on here or not- but I did this one, which is like a pillowcase..

Is this it? I don't remember the pattern name, it's in a Kari Mecca pattern book, but IF this is it- I can look it up

Ooh! I LOVE this...I would like to know more about this pattern! If you get a chance, would you mind looking it up?

These came out great!

 

[erikawolf2004]

I just love this dress! Here it is on Lyddie.

This so sooo sweet!

 

[BBGirl]

Ok I solomnly swear not to flood yall with pictures over the next few months but I am so happy about how this turned out!

I followed Leslie's tute for the twirl skirt I had planned on putting pinky on her shirt but the green spoke to me it needed squirt! This is our first night dinner at the Coral Reef set and going to turtle talk with crush etc.

I was going to show you what it looked like without the petti under and this is what I got lol. Like I said pettis tiaras and dip her in glitter Looks like we will be wearing it with a petti.

And without the toddler

I say flood us. Love the outfit and your little looks like a doll she is so cute.

 

[teresajoy]

Delurking to introduce myself...

I'm Leah and I am just in awe of all of your creations! I consider myself a crafty girl, but I definitely could take some lessons in creativity from you ladies!

I have been stalking this thread since the 21st installment trying to work up enough creative courage to try some of the stuff I've seen here. I used to be an avid quilter before I had children but now my sewing machine is buried under baby stuff in the basement! I went to JoAnn's the other day and bought tons o' supplies for my first project - a hand-embroidered Mickey head tie t-shirt (I was inspired by the one posted here - hope you don't mind that I CASEd it)...I was able to complete it in a few hours while we sat cooped up in the house during the blizzard on Tuesday/Wednesday. Here's the finished product:

Anyway, just wanted to hop on board, if that's okay. I have already made autograph books, an Epcot passport/Animal Kingdom journal, and a travel journal for my DS5 for our upcoming trip. Pics are in my PTR (in my signature below) if you're interested.

I'd LOVE to get involved in the Big Gives as well...I could contribute autograph books and/or Epcot passports to begin with until I can rekindle my love affair with my sewing machine.

I'm glad you came out of lurkdome! This shirt is really cute!

sorry, this is not the greatest pic, but I promise to get a cute one when she wears it at Disney World this MAY!!!

Nicole I LOVE it!!! Eeyore is my favorite!!

And, all you going to Disney in May, it's killing me thinking we probably won't be!

ok - posted on FB too but - I have Rapunzel digitized for part one of Jocelyn's request for her very special Tangled feliz. She choose Rapunzel instead of sleeping beauty because I have called Jocelyn "Rapunzel" forever because of her hair, which is down to her bum.

up next is Flynn Rider. I may have to change some things around like the boat. That part may be hand appliqued as will the water. I will also do some of the lanterns too. I would love to put some line from the movie on it but not sure what to put because we have only seen it once. Any ideas?

Very cute!

Hi, everyone!! It's been awhile since I've posted, and I think catching up is a lost cause!!

And she's kept it on all day

I love this picture.

Front:

Everything looks fantastic!

Front:

I love Dumbo! Wonderful job Tom!

LOVE that outfit!!! Love all the polka dots. Emma hates polka dots. How can you not love polka dots?

I don't know!

/peeks in

I can see you!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments on the outfit for the Big Give! I was going for whimsical, circus-like, without scary clowns! lol!

Good job! I do not like clowns!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and compliments on the Mickey tie shirt (as welll as your kind words about the books!) I did them all by hand...Photoshop is my BFF! I had them printed through Artscow, Shutterfly, and Picaboo.

I am seriously in awe of all of the stuff being posted (I'm still trying to figure out the multi-quote feature.) That Dumbo outfit is to die for. The attention to detail is crazy! I really need to dig out my trusty sewing machine....seeing all these amazing works of art is really inspiring me to try a YCMT pattern. I really love the Simply Sweet halter tops/dresses - tell me honestly...how difficult is it? I pretty much suck at following patterns.

So - I found a few 'ringer' tshirts at Walgreens for $1 and just couldn't resist buying a few. I whipped up a new project last night while watching football:

I really wish they had plain white shirts in DD1's size (24 months.) I searched everywhere and all I could find in her size were onesies. Can anyone suggest a place?

This is so cute!!
My Walgreens didn't have any cute shirts for $1! These are adorable.

Well day one sets are done I already posted EE's squirt but this is for the three boys. My oldest has talked about she wants Bubbles now so we will see. All of the characters I choose I try and make them characters that fit thier personality. Course Bubbles does fit her lol.

And all
TFL

Look at you! Wow! FABULOUS!

Ticker check

I fell today snowboarding, backwards and slide head first on my back down for a time period I don't know. It all got a bit lost. I am tired, feel sick but going to be fine. Let's hear it for having fun.

April, I hop you are OK!

You will be wonderful!

I haven't been posting anything too exciting because I have still been working on my yankees baby bedding set. I think I am mostly done, although I may make a fleece tie blanket as I still have enough yankees fleece left to do one, just need to pick up a coordinating solid color some time this week.


This one shows the quilt, the bumper pads, and a little pillow I made:

These all turned out so great! What a nice thing for you to do!

I LOVE this Ellen! I know this will be loved by the mom! The dining room picture reminded me of when I made Dallas' stuff. I wasn't even pregnant or trying, just knew that when I was I wouldn't want to sew. When I was done I set it all up on the floor since I didn't have a crib either!

It's been a long time!! I will be waiting for the picture when you get back!!



We left on the 15th, I think. So, we just passed you!



Adorable!!! I just love this dress! Here it is on Lyddie.

I loving watching the dress go through the years! Both Lydia and Leighanna looked so cute in it!

I just chopped the top off a dress that was too small and put a new bodice on so it had renewed life.

Woot! Finally at ten! I'm trying this question again with a picture (Adi is awesome) so I don't get lost in the thread ...




Anyone have a serger recommendation? I'm just starting to think about picking one up.

Sorry, things get lost often, just always ask again. I see that you got some answers but I am agreeing with them. I have a 1034d, purchased from walmart.com for a little less then $200. Amazon also had it. It has been chugging for two years through my torture!

 

[ItsArmaya]

LOVE the serger suggestions, keep them coming. I should also have specified I really need one with a moron setting as I can't work machines to save my life

Another question...can anyone recommend an Embird tutorial? I would prefer free, of course, but any that are good and easy to understand would be appreciated.

Hi -
I am looking for a dress pattern for my DD. I don't have a picture, but here is my best explaination.... it is one type of material for the main body of the dress and then a matching type of material to trim the bottom of the dress. The dress has ribbon at the top of the dress that ties on each shoulder, and when you tie the ribbon at the shoulders - the neckline of the dress gathers together. I need the pattern in a size 8-10. I appreciate any help!!

If you are looking for a pillow case dress I have two free tutorials bookmarked:

We are seriously considering cancelling our May trip. I love the Flower and Garden Show too (and Davy Jones....) Have a great time!

Lydia looks so cute in that dress too. Hope you don't have to reschedule your trip (see how I said reschedule and not not cancel).

The photos you posted were the pillowcase dress. I don't know if you saw it on here or not- but I did this one, which is like a pillowcase..

Not only start but FINISH your first easy fit pants. The pattern is awesome! Don't forget the pictures!

All this talk of sergers is making me want to figure out how to use the one my mom gave to me about 2 years ago. I did find the manual in the major clean up, maybe it was a sign I am hoping to take pictures of the craft area later today. Only you all will understand how happy it makes me.

 

[Diz-Mommy]

Leslie, that outfit is amazing! What you can do with hand appliques! No matter how hard I tried, I always messed up when it came to the final details like the face! I wish I could do that! I guess that is why I have an embroidery machine now!

I'm at a loss for a movie quote, but just had to say that design is amazing!! Can't wait to see it stitched out on your dress!!

What a cute idea!! Old Navy also sometimes has blank tees for babies...if you order from Jiffy Shirts, make sure to order a size up because Rabbit Skins tend to run at least a size small if not two sizes small.
