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

[cogero]

Way to get it done. I love to reorganize and find a better way to make things fit. Hope you have more room. I would love to see a picture.

.

I will try to take pictures later. I think I am going to either need a different table (I am using my MILs old dining room table) or a new ott lite.Mine is supposed to clip onto the table and this one doesn't. I may think about a new shelf possibly.

okay I have a question, I have an anniversary coming up and a big birthday in October. I am debating either upgrading my sewing/embroidery machine or going with the PE-770 My machine only has a 4 x 4 hoop and I would like a 5 x 7 at minimum.

For those of you with the PE 770 do you like having a seperate machine.

I am trying to decide what to ask for

 

[VBAndrea]

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.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Is the skirt from a pattern or did you come up with that on your own? I'm thinking I could adapt Leslie's double layer twirl skirt to get something of that affect.

My only complaint about you and your sewing is that the little I can see of your sewing area is way too neat

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!

LOL it wasn't that clean before I took the pictures, I moved everything to take the pic, my space is totally unorganized right now.

Thanks. I should have linked the pattern I used, I made the skirt from this online Tute Mine didn't turn out nearly as pretty as her's I love the fabrics in the top picture of the front page.

I finally finished some patterns for the princess dress...have it ready in size 2, 5, 6, 7

I would like to know if any of you know of a easy to follow ebook tutorial, ( a while back Carla gave me a link but can't find it ) I do not know how to do e files and it will make it so much easier to send it thru the computer than to mail it. If anyone knows about an easy to follow tut please let me know

I made snow white with the same pattern (I posted this picts on Facebook)
this one has a petti skirt attatch to the dress ( what a nightmare...I hate to do ruffles )

Oh my, those are amazing! Please be sure to post when you've got that pattern in ebook format and available somewhere, because my girls would ADORE those!

I was extremely excited yesterday when I had my first Etsy sale...until I realized that there are no orange size 2T tshirts anywhere in the area! After I pay the S&H to get one here by early this week...I have a whopping 3 dollar profit! Hmmmm, good thing I am still getting local business! LOL


Nini (whining almost over! LOL)

I'm sorry about that! I hate when things like that happen!

I can now post pics

I agree with Andrea! Your space is too clean!!! The outfits are adorable!!! I love the skirts.

Have you joined the Big Give? We really need some help with the two Gives I posted last week.

 

[DMGeurts]

And WOW - she did a great job! Sorry, but I am so proud of her - she has a great talent!

This is a traditional Hawaiian dress, called a muu-muu. This pattern was drafted by a friend of mine on another board - and this dress is part of a "sew-a-long" on that board. It was a total and complete accident that the fabric and dress resemble Lilo's... the fabric was sent to me by the same friend who developed the pattern.

When I printed the pattern this morning, I thought it would make a great first project for dd - she has been helping me sew a few items, and I felt she was ready to take it on. DD is so proud of herself, and she has every right to be!

And, speaking of the Gives...​

Glo's outfits have filled up nicely, but her brothers and Mom and Aunt only have 2 items each. We could REALLY need some help getting them more shirts made. Iron ons are ok too! And, would anyone like to make her an Eye Spy Bag? (I'm sure her brothers would like them too, if anyone wants to do them for them)
Go here to sign up for Glo's Give:
http://s3.excoboard.com/exco/thread.php?forumid=70825&threadid=792926&page=1#6485749
The ship date for Glo is February 21, we really can't go any later than that, their trip starts the 27th.

And, Korissa's Give needs MANY more outfits!
Korissa, the Wish child only has 2 t-shirts. The rest of the older kids and adults have 2 t-shirts as well. And, her little 7 year old sister, Kylee (who has been having lots of medical problems the last few weeks) only has one outfit.
A big part of their trip is going to Sea World and Busch Gardens. We could really use some Sea World and animal themed outfits.
Here is the link to Korissa's:
http://s3.excoboard.com/DisBigGive/70543/792031

I had the ship date set for Korissa's Give for February 21, but if you need more time just let me know! We like the families to have their items a bout a month before their trip, so they know what they are getting and what they will still need. But, if you need more time, just drop me a line to let me know.

ETA: I just read on her Trip Report that they just found out that Korissa's brother has scoliosis and may have to be in a brace for 1 -2 years. This family really needs some magic thrown their way!

These are some really fabulous families who are going through so much, please come help them out. ​

Wow! Awesome Job! What a lucky doll

 

[weluvdizne]

O.k., I know that somebody hand appliques onto a different piece of fabric, then uses a straight stitch to put it on a t-shirt. Since I had such difficulties doing the applique directly to a t-shirt, I'd like to try this method. Could somebody tell me the details how to do this, please. I'd really appreciate it. I need to start the adult tshirts for our trip. Thanks so much!

 

[hmdelf]

hi everyone
I am new to this page and I hope I can keep up. Everyone has pretty amazing talent. I am a novice sewer and I have an embroidery machine that I love. I have 3 kids ds6, ds4, dd19months
I am missing Disney World badly so i figured I would come on here and get some inspiration. I also joined the Big Give and I hope I can add to the magic that is spread from there.

I finally got to make a trip to my 2 favorite fabric stores and actually purchase some of the fabric I have been drooling over for years, now that I have a sewing machine.

I got some great deals and my best find was this adorable Wizard of OZ fabric that was 80% off, I found some matching fabrics to go with it and now I need to figure out what to make with it. Anyone have a pattern suggestion, dress or skirt, something really easy?

I also got adorable Holly Hobby charm packs 2/5.00 to make a skirt, and some other cute cute remnant fabric to do something with.

Buying fabric is addicting.

I would say maybe a pillowcase dress or a strip work skirt with matching shirt. I would love to know where you found the fabric at that price. My boys school is doing an auction and the theme is "No Place Like St Bridget w/ a WOZ Theme. I'd love to make an outfit to auction if you would share your source.

I was extremely excited yesterday when I had my first Etsy sale...until I realized that there are no orange size 2T tshirts anywhere in the area! After I pay the S&H to get one here by early this week...I have a whopping 3 dollar profit! Hmmmm, good thing I am still getting local business! LOL


Nini (whining almost over! LOL)

What size do you need? I have several orange shirts. I sell on Etsy too. I can ship it out to you tomorrow if I have it in stock

 

[weluvdizne]

In case you are looking for girls short sleeve t-shirts or leggings, Target has them on sale this week.

 

[juliesews]

So I was looking for the sale on the pre-cuts. They weren't in the back at my store, they were in the front, by the registers. I got a 1 1/2 yard piece of sherpa/zebra for $5.00 It was actually a kit to make a wrap and hat... it will either be a blanket or three scarves... still deciding. I try really really hard not to stash but they did really have some great deals... they had princess and the frog fleece and spiderman and then just cuts of novelty prints. All of the ones on sale were called kits but they were all just cuts of fabric with directions stuffed inside.

 

[Granna4679]

Anita.....

I went back to Joann's today, and my store didn't have the fleece sale. I confused the heck out of them

BUT.... they honored the price in the email (thank you iPhone)
Thank you!!!!

Wow...I can't believe they didn't have the signs posted but I am so glad they honored your email.

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.

First projects? You would never know it. I love both of them. Thanks for the tute too...looks like a new pattern I might like to try!

Hi everyone! I hope you don't mind me joining you! We are heading to WDW for the first time in November, and I am up to my ears in sewing projects for our trip - and thanks to you, I keep adding more ideas to the list I just got all the fabric I needed to do a couple minnie pillowcase dresses for my girls, and will start on that hopefully this week. I have 7 (yes, I have a problem...) other dresses I'm hoping to finish up tonight and tomorrow. I'm looking for ideas on what I can make for my oldest DS. He is very sad that the girls get special clothes made for them, and all he gets are the occasional pair of pj pants. I have had a horrible time finding boy patterns.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these! You are very gifted! I'd love to know when the pattern is available!
