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

[cogero]

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

Absolutely gorgeous customs

I LOVE them!! Those castle outfits are amazing!!!

Love the room remodel!! I always think its funny when you watch any home decorating/home selling shows on TV. When they do the modeling, they make these crazy rooms with weird stuff - but then on the selling shows they make you practically erase the fact that anyone lives there so you can sell it!!! lol...

Wish I was at EPcOT with everyone tonight! I wonder if they are going to watch illuminations??

Marah - what can we all watch tonight?

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!

totally love the rocket ships. I have the rainbow star material it is for one of the next projects for DD

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, LOVE, LOVE every last one of these... it really hurt me to make them into thumbnails too. Great job!

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

These turned out truly amazing!!! I can't believe how small the font is that you used - that looks like it would be so hard to do.

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

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

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:

All of her awesome storage... The goal was to work with a chimney that bumps out in her room - it just so happened that the rest of her wall was exactly the length of her bed - so we added shelves. One set faces away from her bed - and the other set faces her bed for all of her electronics.

The view as you are sitting on her bed... can you find the Hidden Mickey?

And the memory board I made her for Christmas:

Overall - both girls are thrilled with their rooms!

Love the rooms. They look so fun and energetic. Perfect! Tell your dh he did a nice job!

Ok, I'm in the middle of making an appliqué design and my machine (the brand new Brother 770) has a problem. I'm literally in tears, I'm so frustrated. The first few designs I've done the top thread has been showing through to the back to the point where I could almost use the back side of the design. I know this is a thread tension issue, but haven't really done enough to fool with it yet. Now all of a sudden, right in the middle of satin stitching over the appliqué, the bobbin thread is coming up through to the top. It's really bad (more bobbin thread showing than the top thread). I've tried EVERYTHING--adjusted the thread tension on the computer screen, taken the bobbin case out and turned the screw that they tell you to in the book, cleaned all fuzz out (even though there wasn't a lot). Has this happened to anyone. and if so any suggestions?? I ready to throw it out the window!

I agree with Angie, I tried using prewounds ordered from Marathon and both times I had the same problem of the bobbin thread showing. Both times the machine was doing fine and then in the middle of the design it started doing exactly as you described. Both times I had to take it into the shop to be fixed. Thankfully because it is brand new the warranty covered it and I didn't have to pay for the repair! I won't use anything that Brother doesn't recommend for my machine!

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

Just beautiful! Did you hand appliqué the castle?

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 am loving all of the jeans posted lately. These are so cute and I think you should make yourself a pair!

I love the overalls, Did you sew them too, what pattern is it? He is going to melt hearts with those baby blues as he grows!

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.

Lastly, I tried to make boutique ruffled socks to match but I just couldn't hack it. The arm on my machine is just too wide and the socks are just too tiny. Blah!

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.

YAY!!! So happy you all had a good time!!!

[Granna4679]

yeah I finally have something crafty to show again.

These are my first pair of easy fit pants and I made a matching tank.

This is so cute and looks really comfy! She looks like she is lovin' them!

This is for all of us NOT at the Dis Meet PJ party tonight!! lol....if you are friends with Marah on FB ask her to add you in!!!

Steph posted a few pictures - looked like they were having FUN!!! HAVE FUN YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see the pictures! I love the Dis-Misser picture!!

Except that I hemmed the curtains... and those curtains are the sole reason I dug my sewing machine out of the closet in the first place.

I hope you all don't mind that I post these...

DH has been working on a project of his own... he's been remodeling the girls' bedrooms... this started last September. Some of you may have seen these on FB - but today he is doing the finishing touches on our oldest dd's bedroom.

Our house is very old - built in 1890. Both dds have VERY long and narrow rooms, with out closets, it has always been such a pain to keep everything clean and organized... so we decided that "built-in" beds were the best way to maximize storage. Everything was built with storage in mind - the beds lift up - and they have cubbies and shelves all over... they also have electricity, so the girls can store their electronics with-in reach by their bed... reading lights, radios, alarm clocks...

Anyways - I thought I'd throw up some pics of his project... because it's been fun watching the transformation.

Here's the almost finished product:

Here's youngest dd's progress - her's is pretty much done - except for some trim work.

Accent wall finished - and how it will look with her bedding - I taped all the diamonds, dd painted the initial coat so I knew which color she wanted - then I did the second and third coats, where necessary:

We have since added more shelves and cubbies.

AWESOME!!!! My hat goes off to you and your DH. My hubby and I painted stripes on 4 walls in a large church nursery a couple years ago. I vowed NEVER to do stripes again. (and you are right....pencil marks show through paint). These rooms are any tweens dream!!

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

Are all of these hand appliqued???? You are amazing....that is a lot of work (and I know....I have done a lot of them in my life too) but wow....thats a lot of them! The dresses are adorable too!

I LOVE them!! Those castle outfits are amazing!!!

Love the room remodel!! I always think its funny when you watch any home decorating/home selling shows on TV.

Wendy, Wendy, Wendy.....WOW....I love these. I have said this before but I have to say it again.......YOU ARE ONE AMAZING AUNT!!!! I had 10 aunts and never did a single one of them make anything for me (and 3 of them that I know of sewed all the time).

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!!

These are so cute! I am glad you got the machine to work. Sometimes they can be so frustrating!

Just had to comment on the fact that your DH was @ JoAnn's with you....if my DH ever stepped foot into a fabric store, you will know the end is coming! HaHa! However, not sure I want him to go with me....that way what $ I spend is my little secret!

Oh and the ric rac just added something to the outfit...love it.

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!

If I can do it, anyone can! My mother and grandmother tried from the time I was about 5 until I was 19 to try to teach me to sew, and I never could get the hang of it. Give me two daughters and the DISboutiquers for inspiration and all of a sudden I'm making them matching outfits for every day of our trips! I've mastered the Simply Sweet and the Easy Fits, and now I've moved on to miles and miles of patchwork twirls. And maybe I'll even get crazy and attempt a stripwork jumper if I can overcome my debilitating fear of buttonholes.

 

[ms_mckenna]

yeah I finally have something crafty to show again.

and DD modeling them she is thrilled with them

<3 them! You did an awesome job and love that she loves them!

I hope you all don't mind that I post these....

Just use snaps on the stripwork jumper that is what I do lol. Or sew it on. I am deathly afraid of buttonholes as well!!!!


Well I started out strong this weekend but kept getting distracted. I got DDs Jessie skirt done and the top is cut anyway. I had planned on getting it sewn but ended up listing the boys clothes go go on auctions next week. So not sure how much I am going to get done this week because I am going to try and get the rest and EEs stuff listed. I really have to quit buying so many clothes for kids lol.
I found the perfect dress pattern for CRT. I am hoping to get it done one day soon.

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.

Glad you had a good time.

Welcome... these ladies & Tom (who I discovered. IS real) are some fantastic and inspirational people... there's just something about all these people cheering you on and all this knowledge that makes sewing fun and achieveable. Take it slow... And like my DH says "measure twice, cut once" not only does that apply to his building things - it works well for sewing too.
