Disboutiquers Part 24 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[aboveH20]

Now I can cross this one off my 'to do' list. Trust me, it looked MUCH better in the book I got it from.

PS It's a bear.

My hand's in the photo to give an idea of size, but if there are any agents out there for hand models, now that my career making bears is over . . . . .

i have a question...... for anyone who does applique of characters or their faces, do you use coloring books for patterns or do you use other things??????

Muslin is usually 100% cotton, and other than the wrinkle factor after washing, I can't see that it would matter, though you might want to see how it looks under something white, since the cream color might show through a bit.

Ahh didnt think of that

I'll have to say I'm not a fan of the Rapunzel fabric as I don't think it shows enough of Rapunzel, but on your skirt it does and paired with that AWESOME shirt (WOW!) it looks stunning! Well done!

Thanks!!!!

I probably shouldn't say this but I generally am not a fan of Disney prints. I would rather take other prints that are inspired from the theme. My daughter was in Disney fabric heaven during the sale so I let her shop until her hearts content. We have four more Disney skirt sets to make. Well really three and a Kai Lan.

Hi everyone!

OK - so I just finished a CarlaC Pattern this weekend - the simply sweet - its a toy story dress and I'll have to post pics of my stuff soon!

But I have a question.....I want to make a tank top for me to match her mickey dress I'm making. (Yes, I'm a dork like that!) But I cant seem to find ANY pattern for it! I wish CarlaC made adult patterns haha!

I am about a size 16 on top, or maybe 14. I would LOVE to have some direction as to where to go to find a pattern for me! Help!

I LOVE the idea of the swing skirt with a tee. Did you use an iron on for the shirts? How did your DD do with the skirt at the parks? We are going in AUgust so I need clothing that will not be too hot!

Just wanted to update....

FIL is out of the hospital completely and has been moved to a rehab facility. His place on the UNOS list has not been affected by the MRSA, so now we just wait. His wife is doing good, I think I already posted that they think it was her gall bladder. But then, I also just found out her mother has been in the hospital too and has now been moved to the same rehab center as my FIL. I feel so sorry for all the running around she has been doing. My FIL still insist on us not coming until our vacation in June unless he gets the transplant, then we will go up.

So, in other news, as some of you know me and DH have been trying for 3 years to take a trip just the two of us, he always was trying for Vegas. So, unless something happens, this is the year! We aren't going to Vegas...we are going to NYC!!!! I am so excited! This will be my first trip on a plane and my first trip to NYC. I have everything booked; hotel, 2 day bus tour, and today I am buying the plane tickets. We are going in July, so now, I think I will make the new Sis Boom sundress for me. I want something cool and comfortable to wear and that looks great!

I have not been on this board for ages, kind of got out of sewing. HOWEVER I am back. We are going to wdw in August so I want to do up a few of the tank top dresses for DDs and DN. For a ribbed tank top what fabric do you suggest to use for the skirting? Would you use a stiff cotton or a poly blend ?

Are you talking about the dresses that have the wide elastic waist? I would a use a cotton if so. But I suppose it doesn't matter, just personal preference as to what will feel good on you? Maybe somebody else can be a better help.

I applaud you doing that! I don't know if I wold tackle making a bear! My Granny used to make bears and dolls...she made most of my stuffed animals growing up. I am not sure I will ever try that...thanks for trying it for me! I think it turned out very cute!

Too much for me to quote everything - so many cute things posted this week!

A customer order for an Epcot dress:

This is a great Epcot dress! Love the detail of the applique.

I've had cruising on the brain the last few days.

These are perfect! I just love everything about them.

Nanci - I LOVE all of those dresses. They are awesome.

My daughter designed this set. I think she did a pretty good job.

Fantastic job. Again - love the tank/skirt combo.

I'm a bit confused. Are you taking an existing rib knit tank top and attaching a skirted bottom to it? If so I would not use a stiff fabric. I'd use a soft cotton.

Now I can cross this one off my 'to do' list. Trust me, it looked MUCH better in the book I got it from.

I think it's adorable. My hand was in my last photo too and the hand model agents have been calling nonstop!

i have a question...... for anyone who does applique of characters or their faces, do you use coloring books for patterns or do you use other things??????
flower1:

I use coloring book pages, disney pins and I have even done images from real photographs. For example, for my dd's Tusker House Vida I found an actually photograph of Daisy in her AK attire and used that. Just do a google search of images and you'll find all sorts of things to trace.

I have no clue, but what my mother has done in the past is take a shirt that fits and she takes it apart and makes her own pattern. I know she has done that for cotton style tank tops. Otherwise you could buy a tank top and embellish it.

I want you all to know how much you have inspried me. Last year, I started making some things for my daughter, and it is ALL BECAUSE OF YOU GIRLS You will never know how much you inspried me.

So take a look at what you inspried last year.....and thank you.

All so cute and you dd is precious! My favorites are the Jessie skirt and AK outfit.

Glad things are looking on the more positive side healthwise for your family. I will certainly keep them in my thoughts though as a rehab center is probably not the most fun place to be. And yay for NYC!

Carla's grown up patterns are really good too!!! What about her Marlo top - it isnt exactly a tank top, but it is sleeveless??

She has a kids version of it too!!!

What awesome surprises!!! I love using my Kindle app for my ipod touch!! She will LOVE having a touch!!!! and a kindle too!!

What awesome surprises!!! I love using my Kindle app for my ipod touch!! She will LOVE having a touch!!!! and a kindle too!!

She will be sooo happy! She has been begging for a Kindle and I said no...but her Memaw said yes! We are getting her the Ipod...she just asked for a new mp3 player, but she has been doing so well in school and other things, we figured it was okay to splurge. It's been the year for her to really bloom!

I am slowly figuring out how to use my new machine but had the first "eaten" shirt today.

1. Do you think I can save the shirt or will the machine just grab onto the same place where it made the little hole? (the hole is in the shirt and the stabilizer) Should i hand-sew the hole shut and try again? (the hole is smaller than a pencil eraser I'd say)

2. When you first put down the material for the applique (Before it embroiders the nice thick outlining stitches over the edges) do you match the thread to the material even though those stitches get covered up?

Thanks for any help; I guess I should be happy I got through my first 6 shirts or so without incidents!

Thanks!!!!

She did really good with the skirts.....but.....some of the days when it was REALLY hot we just put them on over her shorts for the pictures, and then threw them back into the stroller, because....wow....it was hot
