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

[juliesews]

Oh my goodness, check out this fabric. rufflefabric . com

You all with little ones could make some AMAZING things. I have a daughter in college and I know she would love a game day dress out of any of those fabrics. The possibilities seem endless. I know I sound like a commercial but I have never seen this type of fabric and I think it is adorable.

That is neat... I saved it to my favorites.

I was kind of thinking of a kitchen theme... I've found some patterns for potholders, aprons, table cloths, napkins... I am just afraid that they are too "shower" like and not so much wedding gift like. I do know that they have signed papers for their house and they officially own it in July... so these things might be useful??? I just don't know.

Another question (sorry)

Also - my BIL's In-laws are graciously opening their home to us for 4 days while we are there... I also feel like I should bring them a gift of some sort. I always feel like Europeans are so proper and I don't want to offend them for not bringing anything (we have met his inlaws on several occasions - and they are always giving gifts to my girls). Any ideas here? I was thinking maybe a coin purse for the Mrs. - have no idea for the Mr.

I truly appreciate any insight you all can give me... I only have 8 weeks to get this all done.

Very quick cuz I have a dog that clearly needs to pee....

For a wedding gift I would not do the kitchen theme -- I like things that last forever for wedding gifts. Towels, aprons and the like get ruined over time and then the memory fades away. I think something like that would be a great gift though for the BIL's in-laws as an appreciation/hospitality gift.

For wedding I think more along the lines of a quilt. Even if you could do something small that could be used as a wall hanging or framed -- something that's more of a keepsake.

If it were a co-worker I wouldn't worry so much -- I got a co-worker all bathroom items off her registry as a wedding gift but she's someone I knew I wouldn't keep in touch with forever. For a realtive I would do something more meaningful. Just my 2 cents and I made the dog wait too long and she's napping now lol!

I found this link on an old thread and was just curious....THANKS!!!

 

[chellewashere]

Thanks! In the hoop means the embroidery machine does most of the work. I bought the file thinking it was fully in the hoop though and they do require a little bit of sewing, but nothing too terrible. This is what they look like in the hoop...

Here's the heel pieces and one of the toe pieces still on the solvy stabilizer

Awesome thanks for showing and explaining

Sorry about the dog.

I agree on what you are thinking - I guess that's why I am stumped. I really want to do something special - that's why I was thinking an embroidered/framed wall hanging. I've never quilted before... maybe, if I have time, I can start out by embroidering a quilt square with their info on it... then work it into a quilt if there's time???

Does anyone know where I can find a cute soccer design for my embroidery machine for a little girl to wear to her sister's games?

 

[gerberdaisy1234]

I love looking at all these AMAZING pictures. WOW!!! You are all amazingly talented!!!

I have a question. I noticed some have esty names. My children want Pokémon Custom Hoodies. This is an example but not the Pokémon they want.

I have never purchased anything from esty, only ebay. How safe is it? Does anyone here make this type of thing. What do I need to do to make sure a do not lose over $100 (for 2)?

Any help or advice would be appreciated. We get to go to MNSSHP for the first time this year and they have been working on earning these but I need to find someone to make them.

Thanks for you help.

I stand in awe of your talents!!!!!!

Etsy is just like Ebay but better!!! If you purchase using paypal you have the same buyer protection. I quit ebay what seems like years ago. I love etsy!!

 

[gretchenohar@hotmail]

That is absolutely stunning, a perfect idea. I am not quite sure I would get it done on time though - since I don't have an embroidery machine - I would have to do it by hand. Honestly - I am really not that good yet. LOL Maybe if I practice my technique???

D~

I can't do hand embroidery, either!
Thank goodness for machines!
Best of luck with whatever you decide to do - you're very talented!

I love ETSY and have never had a problem.

 

[dianemom2]

For the wedding gift, how about a set of nice quilted placemats and matching cloth napkins? You could even do a basket with a matching liner.

 

[basketkat]

I love ETSY and have never had a problem.

I agree!!! Etsy is GREAT!

 

[MomtoAlexnWilliam]

At least you were able to fix the problems. I wouldn't have known about them looking at the pictures if you didn't say anything!

Thanks! Yes, as my mom says....necessity is the mother of invention!

I have soooooo much fun making this little Smurf dress. It's so itty bitty!!!

I also finished the first of two Star Wars sets tonight.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the smurf!!! And the Star Wars is GREAT!!! Did you put the letters together or is that a predone file?

Ok, here is the actual book

And here is the journal I made

I plan to do cardstock bookmarks with their names to slide in the pocket next to the pencil. Blake is going to sign the first page of each journal with a "Thanks for coming to my party". He's really excited about it and loves how they turned out.

Great idea!!! Very clever!!!

I know how to operate my serger now! Yahoo! I made DD a gown to test it out and it was so fun, and it is so nice not to have to zig zag everything!

Color me jealous!!!! A serger will be my next wish purchase.

I made my boys some shorts and embroidered t-shirts for their Easter outfits They like the outfits, and even asked to wear them again today...

Perfect for boys!!!

These are great! I love the fabrics!
Thanks!

Love the bright fun colors!!!

Thanks!

I've done 2 sewing related wedding gifts; for one, I did 6 reversible table runners- one for each month, representing the different holidays with one with their house colors and their monogram in the middle. For the other I did a love wall quilt with their ned and wedding date. HIH!

I love those ideas!

They got lots of attention from the cast.

We met the redhead (can't remember her name) on our way back from the bathroom with the girls. She talked with them for a long time. At the next break she brought Flora to chat with the girls, so take her to the bathroom when they are about to walk around the room.

Of course they did!! Adorable!

These are super cute...I really need to make some of these for my DD.

Thanks! Yes, we are officially in doll making mode around here. You should make some!!!

I hope you guys aren't getting sick of doll clothes!!!

Here is another for a friend who is going to Hawaii in June.

OT: I help out at my church as a wedding coordinator. Today we had a wedding at 2:30 with a ton of out of state family and guests. The family had vans to drive the family and friends. The van with the groom's parents and grandparents and other family drove up to the front of the church at 1:45 and the driver noticed smoke. He quickly got everyone off -- including sweet little grandma with her walker. Shortly thereafter, it caught on fire then exploded!!! Thankfully no one was hurt!! We had to reroute guests and rope off the front parking lot. Here are a few pictures:

I had a productive day yesterday... even if it started out bad! I started making our shirts for 1900 Park Fare, and the first one did not work out too well. I'm not sure if it was the designer, or my machine, but there were sections that would not stitch right no matter what I did. It started looking so bad I quit and spent the next SEVERAL hours picking it out. Very , very , very slowly. (I'm cheap and wanted to save the shirt!)

As I was nearing the end...my daughter noticed there was a hole in the shirt...small, but enough that I wasn't going to finish it!

So I decided to start organizing the studio a bit better. We moved some things around, went through some fabric ...and yes, I even managed to throw away some of the really small pieces! Funny, now that the fabric is semi-organized, it looks like I have MORE fabric!

And now I can actually see all my paints and brushes. I always knew where they were, they were just in a dark blue plastic tote and I couldn't see them. I haven't painted once since they went to live int hat dark place. In 6 months, if I haven't painted yet...they will find a new home with someonewho will love them.

Then, after the organizing, I discovered I had a tote full of strips of fabric. (as a quilter who loves strip quilts, I used to always strip up remaining fabric for some 'future' quick project.) When I first started Disney sewing, I was evidently still doing that. I managed to grab enough strips to do a Minnie/Mickey inspired strip wprk skirt.Twenty minutes later I have a skirt that is only missing the elastic in the waist.

Organizing also helped me find my grand daughter's stash of cut up elastic! Several packs of elastic had gone missing. I thought they were just misplaced and I would eventually find them. I was right...I just expected to find them in one piece!

Maybe today we can get the pool officially opened and I will have a much more fun way to use up my time! (it is supposed to get to 89 today!)

Yipes! That bus thing is scary!!! I'm glad everyone was off the bus before it exploded!


Girls, I need some help. My sister just got engaged last week. She and her fiance both live in Orlando and work at Disney World and they're going to be getting married down there (since she's originally from IL and he's from NJ). They're big Disney fans, especially Donald (he proposed in front of Donald at the park last week) and I think they're wanting to incorporate him into the wedding. I'm making the bridesmaid's dresses and I think I've got the fabric for that figured out (just waiting for her approval - she'll be here this week) but they want a Donald Duck vest and tie for him to wear with his tux. Does anybody know where I can find some Donald fabric, preferably in a satin?

That AG outfit is adorable!

I am so glad that no one was hurt in the fire, thankfully someone saw the smoke!
