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

[cogero]

I didn't have to work today. I had my Dad and a workman here looking at a leak so they left about 12 and I was able to work on DDs valentine's day skirt. I kind of devised my own pattern. All thats left is sewing the elastic and finishing the casing. Then I will work on her shirt.

This will be my first skirt with an elastic waist. I love it and she loves how it looks so far. If it fits right I am going to start cutting out the skirts for Khelseys give.

Need to run to target because somehow yesterday when I was there I miscounted for one of the gives.

 

[teresajoy]

Ok, machine is working and I finally decided to try to rip apart some jeans to decorate. I can't believe I was actually able to put them back together!!!

I almost want some myself!!

[/IMG]

These are so cute!!!! I wouldn't mind some of those for me either!

and here is the DD6 going to school on Friday. They celebrate the 101st day of school, so they all dressed as dalmations.

[/IMG]

LOL! She said Cruella De Ville showed up in their class looking for puppies so they all hid under their desks

She is SOO CUTE!!!! And, how fun that they had Cruella come in!!!

Just realizing as I look through my pictures that I haven't posted anything in a while!
These I made for the DS9months

[/IMG]

and this is why I always dress him in blue!

[/IMG]

I love the outfit!!!! but, Joseph is just gorgous!! what a beautiful baby!

I know I posted these on FB tonight - so I'm sorry to those of you that have to see them twice...

But, you see, DH has been working so hard - I just have to show you all the finished product.

Here's her bed - the bed opens under the mattress for storage:

D~

Wow!!! I love these rooms!

Well, I got caught up in making the kids shirts for our trip to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum tomorrow so today, when I went to make tim's jeans I found out the piece of jean material I had was too short!!! So, back to the store - lol!!! Hoping to get on doing them tonight!! haha

Here are the shirts for Elizabeth, Tim, Hanna, Emma and Caleb!

Wendy, these are so cute!!! I really need to make Lyddie a rocket shirt!!

Whoa...I take a 48-hour break from the boards to celebrate DH's birthday and I fall 15 pages behind! I feel so lost! Note to self: never take a 48-hour hiatus.

I LOVE all the stuff that has been posted (TMTQ!) DH and I were at Joann fabrics today and I was ogling one of the high-end embroidery machines...of course, he just didn't understand the importance of buying one just to do Disney shirts, etc.

Thank you so much to whomever posted the link to Carla's blog. I have been studying the Cinderella gown add-on to the SS and finally mustered up enough courage to attempt it. After a few mess-ups (and a few broken needles), here's the finished product:

My DD saw it and immediately recognized it as 'Rella's gown. She ran to it and hugged it...so of course I had to let her try it on. It fits like a glove! She loves to prance around in it. It is the cutest thing EVER.

Here are my question for those who have done the Cinderella version of the SS:
Do you find that the peplum pieces make the skirt part hang strangely? I want to try to do a ruffled underskirt to give it a bit more substance but I'm afraid that the seam (which is already quite thick) will be too thick and my needle will break. Any tips?

My next task is to try the Aurora gown. I bought some magenta and white satin this afternoon. Can't wait to start.

Also, I took your advice and added the black ricrac to the skirt...what do you think? I also added a pink swiss dot bow to the Minnie head. Right now it's just taped on so I could get a better idea of how it would look once I actually perfect the boutique bow.

:

The dress is beautiful!! I like the way a petti looks underneath this style. It poofs it out nicely. You could try making a separate underskirt for it. I wouldn't sew anymore bulk to the waist. You could also make the skirt a circle skirt, which helps with the bulk too, I usually do that when I make the Drizella dress.

Just home from the Disboutique meet. It was fun to put faces with some new names.
The kids all had fun running around and playing together. And the adults got a chance to talk face to face.

It sounds like fun!

This board is so awesome! I got inspired to drag out the sewing machine and try a couple of Simply Sweet dresses for my friends twins. I feel like a dunce! It took me several hours to get them cut out and I haven't even started sewing them! And the easy fit pants ...wow. I hope I catch on, I used to be pretty good at this kinda stuff!

You will get it!! And, if you have any questions, just ask!

I am so trying to figure out a Disney plan for us this year! I want to take advantage of the military discount (an thereby getting back before we magically transform into 4 Disney Adults overnight!) but the money situation is driving me crazy!

Thanks for all the help and suggestions in trying to send my friend back to Disney. Looks like that will be put on hold for a while. Mama has been told no more traveling until baby comes and little Friend is going back in the hospital this week for more surgeries. Mama said all three of her babies were so sick when they were born she could not see possibly traveling until they were at least a year old. She is, however working on a couple of leads...and I am ever on the lookout for some deals and I have my TA working to see what she can find as well.

I have been sewing, but photobucket is not my friend! Seems someone has hacked into my account and changed the password. (and yes, I thoroughly acknowledge that it might possibly have been my evil twin in a feverish haze!) so the only way I can post a picture is to post it on Facebook first.

I did make the Carla Reversible Romper for my GD3's Valentine's Day outfit. It turned out so cute! I've made two others but unfortunately I thought my grand daughter was still smaller...I made them both a size 2 when she is now in a 4. (and it is not like I didn't know...she is with me every day! And everything I made for the Disney trip was a size 3 or 4....)

Somewhere in all this, there was a point but I have lost it (in more ways than one!) Bring on the Week!


Nini

Well, even if you lost your point, I enjoyed your post!!!

I hope you can get back to Disney this year! I am working on a plan for that myself. Corey had originally decided he wasn't coming with us if we go in May, but yesterday he told me he was thinking of asking for it off. Now, I'm almost excited about going again!

Make sure your friend contacts Kids Wish Network, even if they have to wait awhile for the Wish, they might be able to work with them to make it happen.

I hope you get your picture sitation straightened out!

I love, love, LOVE these rooms. Great job!!! (I HATE painters tape though...we have a love/hate relationship....and I usually lose )



I was hoping to get back into my sewing...I finally have a little model to sew for (my friends 18 month old DD but my 14yo daughter decided she wants to walk the 3 day walk with me next year...so she needs to raise the money.

We are making paper bead bracelets and necklaces to sell. I am tired of cutting strips of paper.... and I have glued my fingers together more times than I can count.

I'd love to see pictures of the bracelets and necklaces!

Whew, I managed to quote and comment on a few things, but I have not really been around the last week. If you are on FB with me, you may know that my DH went for brain surgery last week to help alleviate some of the pain associated with his amputation. Everything went well, and he is OK now, but it was a long week. The city that his surgery was in is an 8 hr drive away, and I went round trip 2x in the past week. Would have only done it once, cause he was supposed to fly home yesterday, but then we found out he was not allowed to fly until Feb. 4th, but he could be discharged from hospital on Jan. 29th. So, I drove back down to pick him up.

There was a bunch of great stuff posted while I was away, and I did manage to check in a bit last week as DH had high speed at the hospital, but I did not take the time to post.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize what was going on. It sounds like you have really been under a lot of stress!

Just wanted to post a couple of the rooms in my house that mom has painted for me.

Liam's room

WOW!!! The rooms look great!

Thanks for the compliments everyone!! However...I cannot take credit for any of the outfits. I had them made by 2 wonderfully talented women who have been making customs for my kids for a long time!!! I only wish that I had the talent and patience to make such beautiful clothes!!

I have more pictures that I plan to post later!!

I thought you usually bought from Lisa, I was surprised when I thought I read you had made those!!! Now, I see I just read it wrong!!! You had them made! Either way, they are beautiful!

So, I thought I would post a couple of my most recent projects. We are, hopefully, planning a Disney Cruise, so I am excited about all the cute outfits I can make.

So, this isn't exactly an outfit, but it is Disney related. I made this one much bigger than the pattern, for extra growing room.

This is the Halloween corset top I made for my daughter

I really like the top AND you did a great job with the points - they're nice and pointy, not always easy to do.

Wow! Here's wishing your husband a speedy recovery. My FIL had deep brain stimulation (which I hear is similar to what your dh may have had done) for parkinson's and it has worked wonders for him. Hope your husband finds relief.

 

[cogero]

Okay Here is what I did today. I made a valentines day outfit for DD. I love this fabric. I was reading a bunch of tutorials on skirts and kind of made up my own way and I used Carla Cs method of making a waistband in the Easy Fits for the casing.

The whole outfit.

Close - up of the skirt

Close up of the shirt (which I need to get the hoop marks off)

I still need to make a matching headband tomorrow.

Ty's Room

Love the tie-dye!! Very cool. We have the same snow globe on the shelf.

Sorry, lazy. Saw the quoted pics but too lazy to look for the originals.

LOVE the Mickey/Minnie head/feet jeans. Too cute! The Smithsonian shirts are awesome!! Love the colors. The Tink strip jumper is precious!! Also pretty much in love with the storage bed!!! I'm a sucker for storage of any type.

 

[Granna4679]

Oh yes...it IS quite thick! I broke the needle on my serger on my grand daughters! I think the reason it hangs funny, or at least seems to hang funny is the gathers are not even on both the skirt and peplum. I am 99% sure it is operator error (at least on mine) but I can;t seem to make it work right! When everything is pinned it is perfect, but the sewing is never quite right. I've tried using my ruffler foot...and well, let's not talk about those results!

I'm sure someone can tell us what we are doing that is causing us to be less than 100% happy with the results...but after making 6 of them, you would think I would have it figured out...the last two have made me afraid to tackle any more ruffles...almost!

Sewing 6 layers of fabric together is a bit much for me...especially with three of them ruffled.

Oh..my husband loves to go to Joann's with me...that way he can make sure I don't spend either too much time or too much money there...so far he has been unsuccessful!



Love, Love Love the icy blue fabric choices!!! Not the normal red and green. And, for the time we were there it would have been very appropriate. We froze the last 4 days!

Great rooms!

I had no idea about your DH either. I am glad the surgery was a success and that your long drive times are over. I will keep him in my prayers.

I have been a lurker for a long time. I used to post stuff a few years ago, but got discouraged by some of the talk going on, and I left. I have been just browsing again for the past year or so. I LOVE everything you all sew and I envy you all. I hope to someday be half as good as you all are.

So, I thought I would post a couple of my most recent projects. We are, hopefully, planning a Disney Cruise, so I am excited about all the cute outfits I can make.

Cute, cute! I love the fabric too!

ENABLER ALERT! I didn't see that anyone had posted this. I was at JoAnn's today and they have Blizzard fleece for $3 per yard. Great price for any of you waiting on a sale for the blankets for Haiti!
They still had a great selection today but it will go fast at that price.

 

[PurpleEars]

Thanks for sharing your pictures. They look amazing. I have to say I like this picture the best!

Here are the shirts for Elizabeth, Tim, Hanna, Emma and Caleb!

Wendy, they are AMAZING!

Really cute jeans. I am sure she will like them!

Cute outfit and I like the cute story to go with it!

The last picture is definately high on the "awwww, cute" scale!

Great job on the Rella dress. I have never done a princess outfit so I am afraid I cannot answer your question. The outfit looks even better with the bow and the ric rac!

This board is so awesome! I got inspired to drag out the sewing machine and try a couple of Simply Sweet dresses for my friends twins. I feel like a dunce! It took me several hours to get them cut out and I haven't even started sewing them! And the easy fit pants ...wow. I hope I catch on, I used to be pretty good at this kinda stuff!

I'm sure you will be back to sewing at full speed in no time!

I just want to send hugs your way . I am sure it was an exhausting week for you. Driving 8 hours each way, 4x in a week does not sound fun at all (especially I imagine at least parts of the drive involve the 401!). I hope you will have a much slower week to recover. I hope the surgery will help your DH and he will recover from the surgery quickly.

hmmm...is that an advertised sale? I was at my Joann's yesterday.... and DH and I were actually looking at the fleece. It was all marked 30% off though(I think it was about $6 a yard then)

Since I was just informed that DD12 has to make blankets for Project Linus for Girl scouts.... I guess I'll go back later today and check again. Thanks.

Thank you everyone for the compliments on dd's bedrooms... they really were so much fun to do - and since they are both in that "tween" stage - we could get away with being totally obnoxious. It really was a lot of fun.

 

[babynala]

I was hoping to get back into my sewing...I finally have a little model to sew for (my friends 18 month old DD ) but my 14yo daughter decided she wants to walk the 3 day walk with me next year...so she needs to raise the money.

We are making paper bead bracelets and necklaces to sell. I am tired of cutting strips of paper.... and I have glued my fingers together more times than I can count.

How nice that your DD wants to walk with you and that you are helping her raise the money.

[tricia]

I don't do FB at all, so I had no clue what has been going on with your dh. It sounds like he has been through a lot recently. My thoughts and prayers are with him and your family. I am pleased to hear you say that everything went well with the surgery. Hope he has a nice recovery at home and I'm sure you're glad those drives are over now!

oh wow sending prayers your way.

Wow, I had no idea. Glad he is doing better. I am sure you must be emotionally and physically exhausted. Hope you are able to take a few minutes for yourself.

Tricia,
I had no idea! I thought we were on facebook together but didn't know about this. I pray for your DH continued health and that you get rest.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize what was going on. It sounds like you have really been under a lot of stress!



WOW!!! The rooms look great!

Best wishes for your husband's continued recovery and for your family as well.

Wow! Here's wishing your husband a speedy recovery. My FIL had deep brain stimulation (which I hear is similar to what your dh may have had done) for parkinson's and it has worked wonders for him. Hope your husband finds relief.

Love the tie-dye!! Very cool. We have the same snow globe on the shelf.

Wow, so much creativity. The boys' rooms are awesome. The basement looks really cool too.

Thanks for the love everyone. I am quite tired, and you don;t realize just how much the stress takes out of you when you are in the middle of it. You just do what ya gotta do. Now, he has been home for 2 nights, and I am still exhausted. Hopefully it only takes another day to recover.

Yes, it is Deep Brain stimulation. The guy in the next hospital bed had it done for Parkinsons too. He's got some kick butt scars on his head, and not enough hair to ever hope to cover them, so DS is calling him Frankendad.

My mom is the creativity behind all the painting in the house. And I also love my kitchen. It is wide open with lots of space. Mom keeps bugging that I should put an island in there, but I still love the open space.

I don't have to travel much on the 401, cause I am pretty much straight north of Toronto, and that is where the surgery was. But I did have to drive downtown Toronto, and since we live in a pretty small city my DS was a little freaked out at my driving skills, since there is like 1 1/2 lanes going down Yonge st., and taxis keep just stopping for no reason etc. (I was a race driver in a previous life, so I am fine with that)

This is the Halloween corset top I made for my daughter

Really great work.

The whole outfit.

Great job!

Here are some outfits that I had made for our December WDW trip...

Those outfits are just beautiful. I love the boys shirts too.

Here are the shirts for Elizabeth, Tim, Hanna, Emma and Caleb!

Wendy great job on the shirts.

Ok, machine is working and I finally decided to try to rip apart some jeans to decorate. I can't believe I was actually able to put them back together!!!

I almost want some myself!!

Love the jeans. I would be too afraid to rip some jeans apart.
And that is too cute they celebrate 101 days. DD's school celebrates 100 days, but at the rate of all the snow days we are not close to that yet.

Just realizing as I look through my pictures that I haven't posted anything in a while!
These I made for the DS9months

Look at those big blue eyes

IHere's her bed - the bed opens under the mattress for storage:

I found the hidden mickey too! My kids are brainwashed because they can find a hidden mickey in anything

This board is so awesome! I got inspired to drag out the sewing machine and try a couple of Simply Sweet dresses for my friends twins. I feel like a dunce! It took me several hours to get them cut out and I haven't even started sewing them! And the easy fit pants ...wow. I hope I catch on, I used to be pretty good at this kinda stuff!

I had the hardest time too with the easy fit pants. My brain couldn't reason out after I had cut the fabric how they were going to be pants, but instead of trying to do it my way I followed the directions and they were quite easy to make.

Whew, I managed to quote and comment on a few things, but I have not really been around the last week. If you are on FB with me, you may know that my DH went for brain surgery last week to help alleviate some of the pain associated with his amputation. Everything went well, and he is OK now, but it was a long week. The city that his surgery was in is an 8 hr drive away, and I went round trip 2x in the past week. Would have only done it once, cause he was supposed to fly home yesterday, but then we found out he was not allowed to fly until Feb. 4th, but he could be discharged from hospital on Jan. 29th. So, I drove back down to pick him up.

There was a bunch of great stuff posted while I was away, and I did manage to check in a bit last week as DH had high speed at the hospital, but I did not take the time to post.

Sorry to hear what you had been going through. Glad that your DH is doing better.

And I like the colors in your boys room. I have a BIL who would love Liam's room.

So, I thought I would post a couple of my most recent projects. We are, hopefully, planning a Disney Cruise, so I am excited about all the cute outfits I can make.

So, this isn't exactly an outfit, but it is Disney related. I made this one much bigger than the pattern, for extra growing room.

This is the Halloween corset top I made for my daughter

Nice job

The whole outfit.

I still need to make a matching headband tomorrow.

Cute outfit.

hmmm...is that an advertised sale? I was at my Joann's yesterday.... and DH and I were actually looking at the fleece. It was all marked 30% off though(I think it was about $6 a yard then)

Since I was just informed that DD12 has to make blankets for Project Linus for Girl scouts.... I guess I'll go back later today and check again. Thanks.

Yep...I got an email. It is good until Feb. 5th.

Just saw this quick little tute on how to machine embroider a onesie. Thought it may help as I have heard some frustration about this.
