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

[SallyfromDE]

I can now post pics

So here are my very first projects, not perfect to say the least but DD loves them and that's all that matters.



Then I made this top to go with the skirt also.

There is no perfect in sewing! It's all up to interpretation. I think they look great!

I like having them separate. Sometimes I have them both going, especially if I am embroidering or appliquing something that has minimal chance to get mseed up (never a onesie). I have the PE-780D and when I had it in the shop to get serviced I could still sew. My MIL has her Bernina Artista in the shop getting cleaned and tuned up and can't do anything!

I'm with you. I prefer the 2.

Very exciting news!!! My mom called to tell me they had just gotten off Its a Small World and headed to the upstairs super-secret bathroom at Columbia House. While in the bathroom a woman started talking to DD4 and asking her if her mommy made her skirt (she was wearing a Minnie patchwork twirl). DD4 said yes and then my mom got into the conversation. The woman asked if I was on the Dis boards and then asked about Disboutiquers. Well... it was AboveH2O. Isn't that cool!?! I love it! It is a Small World After All.

I love these! I would wear them! Thanks for the link to the skirt tute!!!

Hi! I've been lurking for a few weeks now and I'm hoping that I can join you. I have triplet girls who will be 4 in April. I made the mistake of showing them the beautiful dresses that you all have made and now they want to know when their dresses will be finished.

My mom taught me how to sew when I was in elementary school, which was a looooong time ago. Unfortunately, it's been about 15 years since I've sewn any clothing related items so I decided to start off easy with half aprons. I made up the pattern myself. We ended up with 1 Ariel and 2 Tinks.

How cute are those three!!! Love your aprons and your photo skills are off the hook. Can't wait to see the girls all dressed up in what you create next.

 

[SarahJN]

Thank you, everyone!

Photography is a HUGE hobby of mine. My mom brought over some extra fabric so I think I might try a knot apron dress next.

Hey guys! Did you see that Jennifer Paganelli, creator of the wonderful Sis Boom fabrics is coming out with a pattern book????

You can preorder on Amazon:


Isn't that cover beautiful!

I can't repost the link!! That book is adorable!! When is it supposed to come out? And where would one find Glow in the Dark Rick Rack?

 

[PurpleEars]

Kind of a weird random question. When I look at patterns, I would much rather buy a Simplicity pattern than a McCalls. Not because of the way they write directions, or the way they lay out the pieces. Nope, the only reason I prefer Simplicity is because they fold the pieces so nicely in the envelope. McCalls seems to just stuff things in there and then the pieces are all squished weird. I'm just curious if I'm the only one who feels this way?

Strangely enough I have never noticed that. I guess it doesn't bother me?

There has been a lot of talk about the Rosetta pattern so I just wanted to post this

My DD's 26th birthday was last Monday and I made this for her. I found the pattern to be very easy to follow. You have three choices for the ruffles, I used my serger for a rolled hem but you will also have directions to make the ruffles with a 1/4 in hem on your sewing machine or a double ruffle. As always with Carla's patterns it is very thorough and easy to understand with a few options. Just my 2¢

Beautiful bag! I imagine she really liked it!

Welcome! Those are cute aprons on cute girls! I look forward to seeing your next project or projects!

Still sewing standing up, I just can't sit I can't see what I'm doing and have no leverage. Also I really dislike doing gathers, but love the look of the frilly ruffles is there a way to make them easier?

I think you need your machine on a shorter table so you can see when you sit down? Also, have you considered a ruffling foot? It may be worth it if you like ruffles.

[weluvdizne]

Thanks for all the compliments on first little project.



The rosettes are made from this free pattern on YCMT. They are really simple and quick to make.

I made another skirt today, it didn't turn out exactly like what I was hoping for but it's cute enough.

Still sewing standing up, I just can't sit I can't see what I'm doing and have no leverage. Also I really dislike doing gathers, but love the look of the frilly ruffles is there a way to make them easier?

I used Jessica's dental floss method that is in the bookmarks on page one. It is sooooooo easy and Jessica did a great job on the tute. It's really easy to follow and understand.

I will say-this bag is how I found Ellen at the meet. I saw the bag then Ellen

This is exactly how I found Ellen on Sunday too!

Welcome! I hate be a copy cat but just as everyone has said adorable girls and fantastic skills! I dabble a little in the photography world but not as much any more - now I sew. I have 3 girls also but not identical and not triplets - mine are 6,5&3. Can't wait to see what you do! Good Luck with the knot dress. if you haven't already check out YouCanMakeThis.com they have wonderfully easy patterns for some really cute things with a lot of versatility.

[RubberDuckyRanch]

I finally uploaded to photobucket ! We had a blast, and I cannot wait to go back! Wondering if there is anyway I can convince DH to go in the fall.... We stayed at POFQ and I looooved it. It was tiny and we had a great room location, my kids loved the playground and we got to swim one day! I did indeed have to take my cheaper and smaller machine with me to attach ruffles and make my boys their red mickey pants. I figure if I go ahead and get started on outfits now for our next trip then I won't have to tote a machine with me.

DD in her Minnie outfit- a nosey lady on the bus told me I was very talented but for me not to tell anyone I made that because then Disney would sue me?!? I just nodded and smiled....

how do you get your ribbon on the fabric? i usually use other things for trims, but have wanted to use that type ribbon.also, do you ever wash the clothes you make with that type of ribbon, does it stay looking good?

 

[babynala]

OK, I'm really far behind after trying to get ready for my DD's birthday party on this past Sunday - did I mention her birthday was in November? I made her friends small ITH makeup bags as favors but forgot to take a pictures of them

So, sew, so many great things posted lately - TMTQ! I love the Rosetta bags, the princess dresses, all the cuties in their Disney inspired outfits, the Chinese dress, hello kitty and the cute messenger bag. The Texas dresses came out really cute.

Charmaine - love that mickey peace shirt. I didn't notice the ear until you said it.

ms_mckenna - WOW, your DD is the cutest thing. That dress is beautiful.

DMGeurts - your DD did a fabulous job on the doll dress.

Welcome to all the new members. Twice_as_Nice - I love the flowery skirt with the two matching t-shirts, what a great idea. Thanks for the link to the flowers, they are really cute.

SarahJN -The little aprons are so cute and so are your girls. Wow, triplets sound like fun. Your photographs are amazing.

Sounds like everyone had fun on their trips. MyDisneyTrio - thanks for sharing all the pictures, what cute stuff you made.

Sorry if I missed anyone.

Also, just wanted to give my 2 cents about having a separate embroidery machine. I have a Brother that can do the bigger hoop and is a regular sewing machine and although I do like my big hoop I would LOVE to have two machines instead of one. I love the way the brother sews and replacing my older Kenmore was one of the reasons I got a new machine but I find myslef wanting / needing to sew when I have the machine setup to embroider and vis versa. I still have my old machine setup but would rather sew on the Brother. I think you will be happy with the embroidery only machine. It will probably be easier to multi-task.

 

[cogero]

thank you everyone for the opinions on one machine or two. I mentioned to DH wanting a seperate embroidery machine or upgrading to a newer machine and wanting a serger. he told me to order the PE-770 and the serger. So I did. I have to love that guy LOL.

Oh and the PE-770 will be here today.

BEst thing is they don't count towards the anniversary or Birthday present
