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

[Adi12982]

WOW OH WOW!! I am in LOVE. That is amazing!

A couple questions:

1. What Embroidery Machine do you have?
2. Where did you get those Designs?

Oh this just melts my heart - I love Daddy/Daughter Moments!

Adi I will be your moving buddy. I am always late though so you might not want me.

Did you make it before page 22, if so - I'm yours! I didn't see anyone say anything on FB!

IHere is the batik I bought the other day (well one of them)
Im a little disappointed in myself. I have been doing this pattern long enough, I should know the sizing by now, but it's been almost a year since I've done it.
This is Hannahs- I did the size 2, I know her chest measures more for a size 1, well, it's big. pretty big. It fits megan perfectly, but her chest size is almost the same as Hannah's!
I was also not thrilled with the way the embroidery came out- when trimming the back, apparently one of the jump stitches was holding down the wisker and I lost a little and the eyes up close are just a blend of mess. I also tried using clear thread in the top and I just couldn't get the tension right, so it's not a nice zigzag.
maybe tomorrow I will get a picture of Hannah wearing it and you folks can give me your opinion on if I should just give it to Megan (which Im not a fan of since I have made so much for her and hardly any thing for Hannah)

I love Marie and I love the batik! I found a store here that has beautiful batik -- it reminded me so much of what I got from you. It's pricey, but at least I know where I can get it now should the need arise. I can't wait to see it modeled. I actually make most of my things s little big so they can be worn the next year.

I have seen lots of pictures of little boys bowling style shirts. Are you all using the pattern on You Can Make This? Is it a pretty easy pattern? I am an adequate seamstress but not great. I found some really cute material and I'd like to make my little nephew a shirt. He has down syndrome and he is just crazy about Curious George. I saw this great Curious George fabric at Joann's today so I bought it with a 50% off coupon.

It's the Bowling Shirt from YCMT. I like the description of adequate seamstress -- I'd say I'm adequate as well, though improving as I keep sewing. But I definitely got that pattern when I was adequate and the first shirt I made with it turned out perfect -- I've made some silly mistakes after that -- like cutting a collar out backwards and a sleeve not on the proper fold line, but cuttings have been my only mistakes.

Now that they have received them I can post my items for Taylor's Big Give. I made applique t-shirts for Mom and Dad.

For Taylor and Sami I made them each a zipper pouch and a bag called the Aivilo one hour hipster.

The hipsters were way too thick to sew through at the end, so if I had to do it over again I would not line both the inside and outside with fleece, but otherwise it is a cute and fairly quick pattern.

Beautiful job as usual. I love the hipsters. Can the pattern be made in different sizes? Are there pockes inside? Would lining with Decor Bond work? Sorry for all the questons -- I reallly like the style and would surely consider buying the pattern, but likewise, my machine (and I) can not handle things that are too thick. Yours turned out BEAUTIFUL despite the issues you had with the thickness.

I have not gotten much worth posting done lately. I did figure out a very important thing there is a HUGE difference between Heat and Bond lite and the Heat and Bond they carry at my walmart! I have been using the heavy stuff and it gums up the needle. Tried the other the other day and WOW so much easier!
These are the little boys Crystal Palace shirts. I needed to take some pictures of them so I decided to pull these out and kill two birds with one stone

Tyler's Pooh

Jackson's Tigger.
We got home to late to get pictures of Noah maybe I will get to that tomorrow

The shirts are great, but I have to say the pictures are phenomenal! Tylers's smile is o die for and Jackson looks so sweet. Their faces and poses are just precious!

When you do your t-shirts by hand do you rip the seam or just turn them under? I've never taken the t-shirt apart and I think it would be so much easier if I did, but I worry. So instead I just avoid doing t-shirts, though I'm itching to do P&F for my ds.

 

[DMGeurts]

I love everything!!! If only my girls were little again...

I

I love the pirate theme! Everything looks awesome and the cupcakes are brilliant!

WOW!!! Great job... and great job to ds for the design!

THis is so cute! I love the Woody on the back.

I love this - especially the little pom-poms on the bottom! And I never would have noticed the wisker, if you wouldn't have said anything.

Awesome job on everything! I really like those hipster bags, I carry one myself, and I would just love to make one!

These are great - I bet they are so excited to eat at CP!! That is one of our favorites!

Thanks Andrea, The pattern only comes with one size but it would be pretty easy to adjust it since you are just cutting out 2 pieces of fabric the same size for the outside and the lining. There is a pocket and a key fob inside, but again you could probably add another pocket to it if you wanted to. I would definitely just use Decor Bond on the lining next time to make it thinner, and it would still be plenty thick.

It took me awhile to get my pictures up, but here is the dress I was working on that made me late moving the thread!

Lydia requested an "extra twirly" dress for the Father Daughter Dance. It is REALLY full!



Here she is with her Daddy

They had a great night. Lydia was really excited to spend some time alone with her Daddy.

LOVE this picture with her Daddy!!!!! Gorgeous dress

What about Taffy's? Anyone call them that?

Hehe - Im hoping someone can find one of those HUGE FLAT SUCKERS - we actually dont have a candy store around here - wouldnt that be so fun to send them? It would be as big as Kades little FACE!! haha!!

Hey everyone - there are a lot of things that still need to be shipped for Taylor's big give...if you are having difficulty finishing your gift, could you please let me know? Ship time is right now!!!! Thanks!!

Taffy is what we get on the boardwalk in AC
they are lollipops here.

Oh, goodness. How precious is that? I'm also totally jealous that you have no snow on the ground...how is that possible in Michigan? We are down to about 1.5 feet - we've had a few days in the 60s so we've had 2.5 feet melt already.

WAAAAAY TMTQ (I'm about 10 pages behind right now!) but I do LOVE the Imagination Movers outfit (my DD1 is a big fan!), the periwinkle blue Mickey Vida, the Small World dresses...and all of the rest of the cute creations that have been posted. Well done, ladies!

We leave on Friday ...SO excited. I've been busy this weekend playing around with the Portrait Peasant pattern (which currently is 15% off - yay!) Have a peek:


and I feel like I need to make ONE more before we leave...I just can't stop! I also discovered a Youtube tutorial on how to make ruffled ribbon socks and now I'm hooked:

So...here's what's going in the kids' suitcases (be assured that I WILL make one more PP and another tshirt for DS!)

I love all the stuff that has been posted lately!

Here's my latest project. Connor is having a pirate-themed birthday so I totally CASED this outfit from T-ROX. I did ask her if it was ok beforehand, lol.


Pirate bowling shirt. He can never give me a normal smile.

Pirate jeans. These are not nearly as cute as the ones that T-Rox did. I wish I'd had more time to spend on them. My job is demanding a lot of extra hours right now. Good for the paycheck but not so good for my sewing addiction.

Shirt that I did on my embroidery machine. Not completely happy with this one. It puckered a lot more than I would have liked.

Pirate cupcakes to take to kindergarten!

Now that these are done, I can concentrate fully on Kade's big give!

I LOVE doing theme parties!!! the outfit turned out great!!!

I have a quick question and I'm hoping that someone could help...

My BFF since childhood was diagnosed with breast cancer last Monday (we're only 35...so scary.) I am absolutely devastated, obviously, but she is an amazingly brave woman who is taking this all in stride.

Her oncologist is being extremely aggressive with treatment and is starting her on chemotherapy tomorrow. She was told she will lose all of her hair within 2 weeks. She has the most beautiful long brown curly hair...and just had it all chopped off this afternoon.

Anyway, I wanted to make her some headscarves for when her hair begins to fall out. Does anyone have a pattern they can recommend? I wanted to try to make some and send them before I leave on Friday.

Thanks a million, D'Boutiquers.

I'm sorry about your friend. when my grandmom was going through chemo...cleaning her house,cooking, or going grocery shopping was GREATLY appreciated

Well, sewing has been slow here lately. We've been busy with Hockey and other things, but I did get a spring jacket sewn up for Tyler before our ski trip. It is the Silverlake pattern from the Sewing clothes Kids Love book, and he designed it himself.

I've been through this. She will start loosing her hair at day 16. It will start with it just coming out when you run your hands or brush through it. When I was loosing mine it actually hurt. It reminded me of when I would leave my hair up in a pony tail for too long (when I was a teenager-lol). I finally had my daughter just shave it all off. She may or may not want scarves. I didn't like wearing them, I just went bald except when I went outside and then I wore a stocking cap (it was winter). I had a fellow survivor in my Sunday School class tell me "being bald is empowering!". I decided to take that attitude. I felt like I got just as many stares when I wore something as I did when I was bald. My daughters friend wears baseball caps, it's all a matter of preference. Good luck to her. My doctors were very aggressive too. I had a mastectomy 5 days after I found out I had cancer and then 6 months of chemo a month later. My husband was deployed to Kuwait while all of this was happening, although red cross did fly him home for my surgery. My wonderful DD went to all of my chemos with me. If you have any questions or want or need to talk just pm me.

I know I need to go back and comment on the last few pages- i saw an amazing jacket!!!!

Here is the batik I bought the other day (well one of them)
Im a little disappointed in myself. I have been doing this pattern long enough, I should know the sizing by now, but it's been almost a year since I've done it.
This is Hannahs- I did the size 2, I know her chest measures more for a size 1, well, it's big. pretty big. It fits megan perfectly, but her chest size is almost the same as Hannah's!

maybe tomorrow I will get a picture of Hannah wearing it and you folks can give me your opinion on if I should just give it to Megan (which Im not a fan of since I have made so much for her and hardly any thing for Hannah)

If you didn't mention the whiskers...I would not have noticed. It looks great!

I am a breast cancer survivor. I found out at 37 years old and started treatment almost right away. I had all my chemo before surgery. It is pretty typical for them to do that with younger women. I don't know if your friend is going to do dose dense chemo (also more common with younger women) but if she does, she'll be very tired by the 3rd or 4th treatment. Frankly, she'll appreciate having a dinner made for her from time to time more than anything else.

I agree that her hair will start falling out after about 2 weeks. It is empowering to shave it. It was winter when I went through chemo so if I didn't wear a hat, I was very cold. I wore something called a chemo cap. It was a stocking cap type hat that was very soft and comfortable. It was made out of lightweight stretchy cotton knit. People gave me scarves but I couldn't get the knack of tying them attractively. Other people gave me some hats but baseball caps left too much of my head exposed and cold. Other hats were heavy materiel and were too warm when I was indoors.

Here is a link to a pattern that looks a lot like what I preferred to wear:

http://www.headhuggers.org/patterns/spatt01.htm

By the way, I have been healthy for over 5 years now. I am sure your friend will be fine but the months ahead will be long and not particularly easy. Your friend needs to keep up her positive attitude. It really, really helps.

Congrats on 5 years!!

I missed the move - I REALLY need to get a moving buddy. . . anyone want to have me as one

I would offer...except I don't always remember to move myself

 

[cogero]

Last night I read 2 patterns. I am going to make DD an a-line skirt and I am finally going to attempt making DS the Bowling shirt it actually looks pretty straight forward. I just need to find some fabric to do it with and also some lining fabric.

I finished my big Gives yesterday so I just need to take pictures and then re-wash the shirts tomorrow night.

Trying to find some things for DS to do he is upset about not going to school this week

Yes, its fairly easy, Carla has a great way of taking you through each step and then she adds pictures so it makes her patterns a joy to use!

These look great, you have inspired me to try some appliqué by hand. I actually bought the PE770 because I was afraid of doing appliqué by hand but I just love the look of the large appliqué.

 

[EEs*Mommy]

Did you make it before page 22, if so - I'm yours! I didn't see anyone say anything on FB!

LOL just barely I am thinking I was here about 10 this time. I didn't see any we were moving posts either if it makes you feel any better

The shirts are great, but I have to say the pictures are phenomenal! Tylers's smile is o die for and Jackson looks so sweet. Their faces and poses are just precious!

When you do your t-shirts by hand do you rip the seam or just turn them under? I've never taken the t-shirt apart and I think it would be so much easier if I did, but I worry. So instead I just avoid doing t-shirts, though I'm itching to do P&F for my ds.

Aww thank you.
I have never ripped them at the seams. I honestly think it would be more work than it would help to rip it but I could be wrong. The only thing I do is usually the front is at the top and the rest of it is under the machine if that makes sense?

These are great - I bet they are so excited to eat at CP!! That is one of our favorites!

Thanks they really have no idea what is going to happen. They just have never experienced anything like it so it is kind of hard to explain to them. It is either going to be awesome or miserable lol.

I envy your applique skills!!!!

Aww you are sweet. Thank you

These look great, you have inspired me to try some appliqué by hand. I actually bought the PE770 because I was afraid of doing appliqué by hand but I just love the look of the large appliqué.

I am looking at buying a machine for words and possibly faces. I prefer the big appliques as well that is why I started doing them.

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

so here she is modeling it, I notice it being a bit oversized when she sits (which right now is alot)
We are not going until May 10, so she still has some time to grow- but you see how it's big in the shoulder area.

Im not sure why diffused sunlight makes a photo blurry....always wondered that...

you could always add a little tank top underneath !

 

[MinnieVanMom]

DH is very concerned about a winter storm that is suppose to blow through Utah/Wyoming on Thursday night. We are suppose to leave at 4 am Friday for Salt lake city, 4 hours away.

He informed me last night that we are now leaving tomorrow when he gets home from work.

Today just got very busy! I need to get to the bank, get luggage out of the garage, pack, clean up the house more and make sure I have everything we need.

This is the first time in about 5 years we are not at my DVC but DH has a conference at the Swan and his work paid for it. We are hoping we will like the Swan.

I need to call Mom and tell her we are leaving early and her dog/house sitter needs to be here early also. Busy busy day.

I have one more shirt for Ian to get done. I want to put Buzz on a black T-shirt. I also need to get the ribbon for my AK shirt.

Ok, I need to get busy.

I love the purse, the cute dress with the cat, the great boys jacket.....I am sure I have missed mentioning a few more things. I will try to get back on this afternoon and multiquote.

 

[tricia]

You do amazing work! I'd be so scared to try something like that. Your son is good with designing his clothes! Must run in the family

Thank you. I think getting them involved in the design makes them appreciate and love the clothing so much more.

Wow! That is amazing! I am pretty sure I don't have your skill level as far as jackets go but I LOVE that! I would be perfect for me to make for Dallas.

Thanks, I am always envious of the gorgeous appliques you create. It really wasn't all that hard, I'm sure you could handle it.

I am still working on getting a few things together for little warrior Ian.

Very cute April. Is that Carla's bowling shirt, or a commercial one. the front looks different.

That is absolutely incredible! I have that book and I have yet to try any of the patterns (except the Feliz). I would be scared of that one. You are an incredible seamstress.

Thanks, it was easier than the Feliz in my opinion. I have done all the patterns in the book except for the tank top.

That is really great! What kind of fabric did you use. I have the book and really like the look of that jacket, but haven't tried it yet. Maybe some day!

I used what my fabric shop called nylon outerwear. It is like windbreaker material, and I lined it with flannel for the bodice and just lining fabric for the sleeves so they don't stick to shirt sleeves.

Super cool!!!!

Thanks.

Nice jacket and I am sure he will wear it lots. Oh and I like the red brick house - we would have liked a red brick house but brick houses don't exist here!

Thank you. Really, not a lot of brick in your area? I have a friend in Sherwood park and I don't remember.

super cool jeans and cupcakes too! i am astounded I have been cased. i think you did a fab job and i know it is hard to do boy stuff without being too flamboyant but you nailed it.great job

ps. that skull is just the right amount of nasty. not too scary and not too whimsical. i will have to actually use that file not that i see it stitched out

 

[T-rox]

I am still working on getting a few things together for little warrior Ian.

i am floored!!!!! i got goose bumps!! i just grabbed my sister my mom and my dad and im sending pics to my cousin and aunt ( not the cousin with ian) IT LOOKS SOOOO GREAT!! he will love it!! and i love the heatehr sue file, i shouldve used that one. it is better that the file i have but i waited until she was on vaca to get my started sooo... will have to get that woody file from her. thank you!

Yes the bowling shirt is fairly straightforward. And, some of our sons prefer them with no lining.

so here she is modeling it, I notice it being a bit oversized when she sits (which right now is alot)
We are not going until May 10, so she still has some time to grow- but you see how it's big in the shoulder area.

Looks cute, and I would keep it for her, then she will get LOTS of wear out of it.

hi everyone...i'm at work today....but i was able to get on the sewing machine again for a lil while yesterday ...woootttt....see what you ladies did to me

 

[froggy33]

WOW OH WOW!! I am in LOVE. That is amazing!

A couple questions:

1. What Embroidery Machine do you have?
2. Where did you get those Designs?

Thank you!

1. I have the Brother PE770 that so many on here have. I got mine off of HSN with the 4 payments. I have had really no problems at all. These designs are all 5x7. My daughter is only 2.5, so 5x7 still looks huge on her clothes.

2. These are all my designs. I actually made this because I needed to test out the designs anyway and didn't want to waste material/time.

I love the dress. It looks great. Kids grow so fast at that age. I'd just pick up a tshirt for her to wear under it right now. Then by summer it will probably fit just right.
