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

Thanks! Oddly enough, in your words I think I get it and I didn't even look at the pictures except to see that you used the comic strip fabric!!!! I see you are not nearly the fabric hoarder I am! LOL! I don't even have any of that one to hoard but I know I wouldn't be using it! Did you put it on your blog too? Just a thought, or a link to it atleast!



Velcro is my friend! I know that is kind of cheating but it was super quick and easy!

Good idea on the velcro, will definitely try that next time.

I think I do hoard fabric, but I bought that comic fabric twice, so as long as I never cut into the second piece I feel ok. And if it works out I will be able to donate at least 3 of them to GKTW, so a good cause. If I can't donate them due to prewashing the fabric I will find some way to use them.

Hmm, maybe it's just my computer but when I click on that, I just get a picture of the beautiful skirt that you made.

Nope, not just you.

Let me try again.

Yikes! I've missed so much. Everything is gorgeous as always! I have to say it was kind of nice enjoying time with family minus the internet distraction. I don't get to see my brother much (he lives in Western NC) and it was great to spend an entire week with him.

You guys have been busy, everything is so beautiful!

I'd love to do some pillowcases for GKTW. Thanks so much for posting the tutorial. I learn much quicker by seeing and doing than reading directions or trying to figure it out myself since I'm new to sewing.

You guys are so much help and so inspirational. I just wanted to say thanks!

Thanks for looking!

Awwww... they are so cute! Their outfits turned out adorable!
LOL about them wanting 3 of every princess - didn't you know that you aren't supposed to sleep?

Back from vacation, and way behind. I did lurk along some while on vacation, but didn't have good enough internet to spend time posting. Everything I did see looked great though!

My contribution since I got back are these matching sister outfits for my cousin who is scheduled to have a c-section tomorrow.

Trying to keep up now that I am back. Thanks for looking!

These are so adorable! I just love the bubble romper! I really want to make one, but I don't have anyone to make one for.

Whew, where do the weekends go???? Lets see...recap...

Here is my sunday school class on show and tell day!

Outfits for the girls and Tim to wear to the Easter Egg hunt at my work on Saturday

And I made a shirt to match some Agent P pj pants I got for Tim at Walmart...

I love it all!!! Especially the Agent P pj pants - I love it when people do the whole shirt as a face like that!

[aboveH20]

Anyway, here are the girls in their birthday outfits. They have now asked me for a red Minnie dress, a pink Minnie dress, a Belle dress, a Cinderella dress, a pink Cinderella dress, etc, etc. Sure, I'll whip those up tonight.

I LOVE them, and your new list of sewing projects!

Someone please figure out how to make the pillows and post. I would love to make some and I am tired but just not really following the directions tonight! Also, let us know about washing the flannel. It looks like crap after it is washed most of the time! Well, I am used to looking at Dallas' totally washed out Wall-E pants but I know it makes it look not nearly as nice.

Hooray for Ellen for doing the directions. I haven't heard back from the man at GKTW, and I also PMed the person who started the thread and haven't heard back from her. When I realized that they are "wishing" pillows and not sleeping pillows it occured to me that pre-washing or not pre-washing may not be critical. I'm going to go ahead and make some with the fabric I got yesterday, which I will not pre-wash, but if/when I hear back from either of the people I will post.

Has anyone ever made this skirt?

You are always so busy. Since my husband retired I haven't taught Sunday School, I actually miss it . . . a little. I love the carrot cars.

.

I worked on some shirts this afternoon but have to rip one apart because it came unhooped oh well I should be able to salvage the shirt. I think this is maybe the 2nd time this has ever happened to me. It was also a new design I had never done before.

Sorry it came unhooped. It shouldn't be allowed! I've finally found that after I goof up, it's best to come back in a few hours, otherwise I get too mad.

TMTQ!!! As usual, I'm behind in everything.

I managed to shorten the elastic in the skirts in time for the girls' birthday party. Grammy doing the hand applique on the shirts just did not work out. That is not a skill you can acquire in 2 sittings and she picked up this cold/cough that we've all had.

The outfits are adorable! But really everytime you post a pic of those girls, I just want to reach through the screen and squeeze them. So stinkin' cute!!

Purple Ears- Great job on the Big Give dresses. I really like the Aline dress. It's so neat and clean. I love the bling bling roll up too.

I finished a few more things this weekend. . .

I NEED to know what skirt pattern the Minnie set is! I absolutely love it. The star wars set is great too!

[quote="Granna4679, post: 40684456"]Wow....I leave my computer for the weekend and come back and I am 20 pages behind.

I have read/looked through all of them and everything is just beautiful.

I really love the little "boy" easter outfits, the tiny little shoes, the Big Give Items, and everything else.

Aimee - your Star Wars outfit is beautiful (love the midnight blue and yellow combo).

My daughters and I hosted a lingerie shower this weekend. The couple is getting married at one of the huge resorts on Galveston Island in their outside gazebo this summer so we went with a beach theme for the whole shower. We did a full lunch table (with a ton of food which included crab cakes, crab dip and some chicken of the sea...aka chicken salad sandwiches)
We also did a cake/cookie/punch table. We decorated almost all of my living room, dining room, and breakfast room with beach items (fish, starfish, sand dollars, and candle holders with sand and shells in them). We got a lot of compliments on the decorations. Everything was aqua, peach and sand colored satin.

My youngest daughter and I decorated the cake. I know this isn't sewing related but it is the only creative thing I have to show for the weekend.

[IMG]http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt61/anita4679/My%20creations/SDC15811.jpg

In addition to lingerie, I also made the couple tshirts for their Disneyworld honeymoon.

And I know I posted these dresses a couple weeks ago, but I had to show them off in action. I made them for my DGDs to wear to the Butterfly Festival @ their church this weekend. It was a beautiful day and since their mom was involved in doing so many activities for the festival and different booths, I had the fun part of following them around and keeping them out of trouble. It was a great time (well, until the end of the day...see more below).

Now for the bad news...I had to park across the street from the church in a school parking lot. When I left at the end, I backed into a car and scratched my bumper pretty badly and put a dent in the other persons car. I tried to be honest, went back to the church and asked around (even asked the people in charge at the church) if they knew who it belonged to. No one knew so after leaving the information with the church office, went back to the school to leave the info on the car and it was gone. I felt so bad but I tried. Hopefully, they will contact the church, but if it were me, I would never think to do that.

All in all, a very busy but fun weekend.

The cake came out fab! Those butterfly dresses look even better on them. I just love that pattern. It goes together so quickly. I have some Ni Hao Kai Lan fabric waiting to be cut into this dress. My 3 yo DD couldn't leave JoAnn's without it during the big character fabric sale. I thought this pattern would be perfect for it!

Hi Everyone,

Its been a while since I posted here. I felt like I didn't have anything to contribute since I was still waiting on my sewing machine....but I am back and I can not wait to contribute more to this AWESOME thread. You guys Rock....everything here is so pretty/ handsome and well made. I am glad I can stop lurking now...although my list of projects is ever growing....I want one of everything on this thread...

I got my machine and knocked out a drawstring bag in about 2 hours....I know 2 hours for a simple drawstring bag....it'll get better right? I then went on to make a pillowcase dress with matching reversable headband and Easy Fit "shorts" for my DD and she loved it. I will have to post pics of that tonight since I didn't bring the Camera to the office

In the meanwhile here is me and my new baby!

 

[aimeeg]

SarahNJ- Your girls look beautiful!! You did a fantastic job!!!!

Ellen- I am so excited that you were able to use the tutorial. That is awesome!!! The sets are just precious!!!

Here is a little Dug dress. It's for a little girl who loves UP.

I have tried to post this a couple of times but it never has popped up.

 

[aboveH20]

Fabric for the pillows does NOT have to be pre-washed. I did not specifically ask if it's okay to use pre-washed fabric, but I'm sure that it would be fine as well.

 

[gerberdaisy1234]

I am still in awe of all the wonderful talent here!

I wonder if I start studying at your feet if I would be able to make something half as awesome for my grandchildren some day (I have lots of time to learn since my children are only 8 and 12)

Do you cut the appliqués out by hand or do you use a special machine? Is there a good place to learn how to do this or is it a secret only passed down to the ultra talented?

Cute. I saw them on facebook and was wondering who they were for.

Okay, I tried this tonight and here is my best attempt to explain what I did.

Nevermind my flannel is washed, and it has some dirt spots on it, so not really going to send these, just wanted to try it. I may be able to use 3 of the 4 if they say prewashed fabric is ok, but the 1st one I finished has some spots on it.

First, cut 36" of solid flannel by the full width of the fabric

Wow, that was fast. Thanks.

Many of the appliques seen on here were done on an embroidery machine but there is a tutorial on the first page on how to do appliques with a sewing machine. Good luck!

Wendy - lost your post. Love the Easter shirts and especially Perry the platypus. My DH loves him and I may have to make a shirt like this for him if he sees it.


And in other news. I won a blog giveaway I won 5 ModKid patterns. Not sure what I will pick yet, but the Kyoko is on the list for sure. Any other suggestions?

Totally jealous!! Let us know what you pick, I have the kyoko and really like it, although I only made it once.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I have a couple of projects to share now that I know packages have arrived at their Big Give destinations:

A set of outfits for Epcot (for a family from Canada):
A reversible a-line:

And a bowling shirt for the brother:

For a different family, I made a set of matching dresses for AK:

And for my recent trip to DL, I decided to make a jewellery roll to transport my Mickey bling:

By the way, we had a great time at DL. Thanks to everyone who helped me when I was planning the trip. We can't wait to go back!

Thanks for looking at my creations!

Thank you for doing so much for the family. I love the mickey head theme carried through out all the clothing. What pattern did you use for the little fold over purse?

Purple Ears- Great job on the Big Give dresses. I really like the Aline dress. It's so neat and clean. I love the bling bling roll up too.

How adorable are those outfits. Love the use of primary colours.

Just stopping by to see if my NEW TICKER is working!!!! Yipee! I get to go back this year. But I get to keep it a surprise! We are just going for Halloween weekend. Should be fun! This is if all works out just right with DH's vacations...should find out soon....but I am planning now.


Also, wanted to share that FIL's wife's mother passed yesterday. This is a very hard time for her I know so please remember her. I never met her mother as she has had dementia and in a nursing home since my FIL married his wife, but they both loved her very much and I am sure her family will miss her very much.

I am sorry for the loss. I know she is with God now and at peace. I will pray for peace for those grieving.

Congrats on the new ticker!

 

[dianemom2]

Thanks! The romper is not hard, I just always have trouble putting the snaps in and I always waste a few by the time I am done.

I wonder if a couple of little buttons would work ok? When my girls were little we have a couple of rompers with buttons instead of snaps. I never really minded that the buttons took a tiny bit longer than snaps.

Thanks for the wide elastic band circle skirt link. I looked at it and it did give some good directions. I bought fabric and stuff yesterday. Hopefully later in the week I will get to the skirt. I have some orders that I am working on for the next couple of days!

 

[RubberDuckyRanch]

QUESTION!!!for those that have or make A-lines-- which do you have be the top in the part where it fastens together -- is the front on the dress with the short part with the square-ish end on top or is the back that has the strap coming over the shoulder with the rounded edge on top? (I am sure that made sense to everyone)
