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

[ms_mckenna]

It is for a 3 yr old - do you think I am taking a chance with white sleeves?

I think white would be fine with a 3 year old ... depending on the 3 year old.

Whoa!!! WAY behind!! lol!!!

Here is what I just finished.

So jealous of all the Disney talk! We just went in September, but I, as many of us, would happily go back tomorrow!

I'm actually making a dress for my daughter even though we have absolutely no trip planned and probably won't be back until May 2012. I'm really excited for it though. I LOVE the you and me/world fabric from A. Henry, so I am digitizing small world children to make a strip skirt dress. I have two done and they are so cute!

I think I need those for an outfit for DD. I have a very multi racial family so maybe we could just wear it as every day lol.

Do you think these together are too loud? The colors are a little off in the picture - the green is greener,etc. Same type outfit as before - red for bodice, blue for sleeves, green dot ruffles.

If they match irl I say it would be fine. Is it a long sleeve or a short sleeve peasant?

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

3/4 sleeve - I am adapting it a little bit. Hopefully it works well. More so hopefully I will like how it looks.

Long time lurker here... Now that we have 60 days until our trip, I think I better get sewing! So, to start off easy, I have an applique Mickey safari head that I thought I would try out tonight on an old t-shirt. I've never appliqued with my machine before, so I read a quick tutorial and well, I'm glad it was on an old shirt!

I'm guessing I need to trim even closer to the edges of the outline... since some of the fabric is still showing through.

Also, I've never hooped t-shirt material before. I know that I'm going to do some appliques/embroidery on t-shirts. Any thoughts/recommendations? I'm guessing that I could not hoop it at all and use the "stick down" stitch I have somewhere on my machine (pulling out instruction booklet). The hoop left nasty marks on the shirt.

Any help would be SO appreciated! This is quite an endeavour attempting to make outfits for 4 for our first trip!

My first applique came out terrible too but I brought some embroidery scissors and I am able to snip very close (most of the time anyway)

Also, I guess there are hundred ways to do something because I never hoop the shirt or tack it down. I use the 505 Spray to hold down whatever I am embroidering. I am not sure I would even know how to tack it down with my machine.

Finally took pictures of the shirts I have been working on.

THis is the Ariel Skirt and Shirt for my niece for Christmas

This is a little more close up of the shirt. This is my first HeatherSue design

Wow you have been busy and doing great. Isn't it addicting!:goodvibes

Who else is going to be there in the next few days? I know I am just missing Tiffani. We are going to be at the Poly on the 11th and leave on the 17th!

We leave tomorrow 12/10 and are flying back on the 14th. Are any of you going to MVMCP on the 12th?:santa:

Whoa!!! WAY behind!! lol!!!

Here is what I just finished.

So cute.

Hey there! Many thanks for the kind words! I hope I run into you guys too! We'll be there the 11th to the 19th. Be sure to say hi if you see us!

What parks are you going to?


PS: Not sure why my ticker says Congrats today!!! It's still one day away!

 

[mom2rtk]

[abfight]

Do any of you guys know if there is any free software out there that woul let me put together names with some fonts that I have purchased. That is really the only thing that I am interested in doing, its just way to easy to buy the rest

 

[babynala]

Sometimes I make designs with a smaller satin stitch because you can't get as much detail with a bigger one. I know its easier if you don't have to trim very close and if you have a big satin stitch, but it isn't always possible. I just don't want people thinking that digitzers are mean and dumb for not putting a big thick satin stitch around everything. Investing in some good applique scissors really does help. I saw the ones Teresa posted and those are great. I use them for cutting around things that are small and have corners and such.. for the bigger stuff I use applique scissors by gingher.. they are AWESOME!

Oh okay.. someone told me I would receive a packet from disney. I have not received anything.

Who else is going to be there in the next few days? I know I am just missing Tiffani. We are going to be at the Poly on the 11th and leave on the 17th! [/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]

Do you know those scissors are called? I have the applique scissors but need something to help get really close when working with a small applique.

Whoa!!! WAY behind!! lol!!!

This is really nice, I love the snowman.

Now back to work - a lot more to do. Happy holidays everyone and safe travels!!!

You did such a great job on these, they are so adorable. And I can relate to the Disney Dreaming...

Do you think these together are too loud? The colors are a little off in the picture - the green is greener,etc. Same type outfit as before - red for bodice, blue for sleeves, green dot ruffles.

I like these fabrics together and I think the green dot ruffles will be nice.

WOO HOO!!! 20 Super Hero capes sewn and appliqued and monogrammed! I still have to cut threads and sew the velcro closures on but all of the hard work is done!!!

WOW, You are amazing. What are you going to do with 20 capes?


Hope everyone who is headed to Disney in the next few days has a great trip. Enjoy all the Disney & Holiday magic at the parks.

I'm sure some of you have already seen this but I thought it was cute and wanted to share:
http://family.go.com/disney/pkg-dis...ss-gown-holiday-ornaments-t/?cmp=SMC-FB_Fcom_[princess-holiday-gown-ornaments]_[crafts]_[family.com]

There are directions and templates on the Disney Family.com website for making Princess Gown Ornaments. They look really sweet and I thought that they could be made using fabric scraps from a little girl's Princess dress as a way to remember a trip to Disney. I thought they would be cute hanging up in a sewing room too.

Thank you. I have no access to the Floriani stuff here, but the basics will certainly help me.

I just got Stitch Era Universal on the advice of a couple of the ladies on here. That's exactly what I was looking to do as well. I haven't had time to play with it, but it did come with more fonts than my machine so I have more options right out of the gate.

Working on an outfit for a customer in the style of the stuff from the Sewing Clothes kids love book. Have the top done so far.

Skirt and Jacket to follow.

I think I need those for an outfit for DD. I have a very multi racial family so maybe we could just wear it as every day lol.

Thanks! I am actually working on a Japanese girl, a chinese boy, an indian girl, an english boy, a mexican boy, a holland girl, and a irish boy! I'm not really quick at it yet, and I only have about an hour a day to do any work on them. I tried out the Japanese girl last night and the stitching was way off. I am pretty sure it was the way I hooped it and it must have moved a bit. So I wasted some precious you and me hello fabric and I have to try again, but oh well!

I'll list them sometime.

I was waiting on Emily (Big Give family) to get these before posting and I just saw they they were received. She also posted a video of Emily in the dress that is just adorable. Go to their pre-trip report (page 12 if you don't have time to read the whole thing) and check it out. It will totally melt your heart to see her giggle. It makes every minute I spend in my sewing room worth it!

Hi ladies...I am attempting to make a Portait Peasant Dress. My daughter announced tonight she wants me to applique all of Heathersues princesses on it and it be ready for pajama day next Thursday. I am a novice sewer and I need your help. I want the nightgown to look the the christmas themed one on 3rd page of Carla C's pattern...is that an elongated top and a ruffled skirt? I"m so confused....I think I'm making this harder than it is because I am so intimidated by this pattern...and the ruffles mostly! Please help!
Thank you!
Erica

Thanks for the info, and I really am not in the market for making stuff to sell much these days anyway. But if someone asks for my info I will be willing to give them my etsy id. So having it already written down will be handy, but I certainly won't be going around handing out business cards!

Here are a few pictures of the ruffled bag I made.
Here it is laying on the bed:

And hanging on the doorknob:

And with me holding it to get a perspective of how big it is, although this isn't a very good picture since I had to take it of myself, and the flash conveniently wiped out my face, lol:

This is cute, I love the mickey fabrics used, you have to post this on the customer's sample page on YCMT website.

Sorry I haven't been around much.

I was finishing up that toy story dress for Hannah when my Dad died, I still need to finish hand sewing down the inner bodice actually.
I did a "how to make pillowcases" demo table at my church which required me to whip up about 5 pillowcases, and I really haven't done anything since. That was before Thanksgiving. I really need to get my groove back on.

For those who remember- Hannah is now a wobbly stander and just learned to crawl, we are still keeping fingers crossed that she will be walking by April or May- her 2nd birthday is May 22 and we would like to go to WDW for our "rescheduled trip".

For those who follow me on FB Ive been searching for a new dog, a belgian tervuren. but no luck so far.

Thats it in a nutshell.
Thought I would come on and be inspired!

Thank you to HeatherSue....received your two cute blankets today, please thank your DD and DS for their help and sweet words!!
