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

[babynala]

Just got back from picking up my new baby!!!! And this one doesn't need diaper changing!!! Its my new Viking Designer Ruby. I am so excited to try it out and thought I would start with a Dr. Seuss Applique but can't seem to find one to purchase?

Any suggestions???? Thanks!

Congratulations on your new machine.

Thanks everyone for your prayers for my Matt!! He was actually discharged this afternoon!
Im guessing Billy is going to bed early tonight!!!! BUt you know what - he really had a good time. He really hasnt watched the kids on his own for that long before- an hour here or there, but never all 3 for all day!!! He loved it, and felt very loved - My big Teddy bear!

Sorry to be long winded!! Im just so happy that Matt is home!! Thank you for your prayers!!!!

glad to hear Matt is home and doing better. I love your Billy the Babysister story. Sounds like everyone had lots of fun.

I've found two different types of cap/hat hoops for my Brother 770...one is $25...the other is $175. I guessing the cheaper one isn't going to work very well!

Nini

I don't have a hat hoop, nor have I seen how one works on a non-commercial machine but it seems like it would be hard to hoop and stitch. I'm also curious if anyone has ever used one before.

You guys are gonna get tired of me, since I finally figured out the pic thing.
This is a tink simply sweet that I made for my daughters third bday and for a trip to disney on ice.

This one is for my niece to wear to the show. I made them both shorter than a dress so I still need to finish a pair of ruffled jeans for both of them
thanks for looking

Those are fantastic! What would you pair with that zebra fabric posted earlier? I just dont have the "EYE" you have!

Still trying to catch up.

Didn't catch all of the quotes, but all of the Jasmine and Ariel outfits just posted were so cute. My DGD wants to have a Jasmine party (where do you find plates/cup/etc for that?).

Ericanadjenng - the quilt for the principal is such a fantastic idea. Love it.


abfight - Love your DDs long hair. My DGDs have long hair too and I love to blow dry it straight so it looks like this but wow...it is a chore!



Great duffle...looks like a Vera Bradley, ONLY BETTER!



This turned out so cute, despite all the problems. Sometimes we just have to put them aside for a day.



Welcome, congrats on the new machine. And I love the quilt! Sounds like you have caught the "sewing" bug!! Can't wait to see what else you create.



Yay! I am so happy you get to go and can't wait to see her in the Small World dress.





Welcome back! I bought Tangled fabric at JoAnn's. Their licensed fabric is on sale today (online) 40% off. Now would be a good time to buy it.



Did you get it? I hope Matt is doing better. Prayers being said!



Poor Isabel! I hope she is healing fast. The quilt is to die for!!! Love that Bert drew the picture...what a keepsake!



I can see it!! And it is really cute!



I love that applique. I have done that one several times with all different fabrics. It turns out cute. Yep....no balloons here either. They are such a pain to keep up with.



I made this with dolphin/whale fabric....might give you an idea for the Seaworld fabric.

I like the Tink but I love the Ariel...the colors are great.



I would!

That outfit is perfect for my Sea World fabric! Mind if i COPY?

COOL!! What year were you there? That unit still runs strong! They are getting ready to build an addition onto the building and all of the rooms are now going to be private. I really enjoy working there!



Love those Tie Dye Mickeys!! The colors are GREAT!!

Thanks everyone for your prayers for my Matt!! He was actually discharged this afternoon! Billy went up and saw him this morning and they thought that Matt was possibly going to have to have surgery to drain his hand (ICK) but, by lunch time, the swelling had gone down enough that he was able to finally eat so we ate our lunches together - lol. He was impressed with the touch screen ordering system and was having fun throughout the afternoon - lol. So, he does have cellulitis and some blood tests about the bacteria in his hand are still out. But, they decided that the redness was really going away, so they thought he was on the mend and were comfortable with discharging him around 4pm today. Our hospital is so overcrowded with kids with the flu right now that we need every bed and, they really dont like to keep kids who are healthy in the hospital if they can help it!! So our pancake plan got cancelled.

But, Billy had a GREAT day with the kids - lol. They watched Disney Jr together for Handy Manny and Chugginton and Babar. Then they had a nerf war in our basement which evidently went on for about 2 hours!! Then they had lunch and of course everyone wanted something different, but he made it for them. Then they played with a remote controlled airhog helicopter, then they went to the playground, played hide and seek in our basement and first floor, sent their brother ecards to the hospital, had a snack and took Zoey for a walk!! Im guessing Billy is going to bed early tonight!!!! BUt you know what - he really had a good time. He really hasnt watched the kids on his own for that long before- an hour here or there, but never all 3 for all day!!! He loved it, and felt very loved - My big Teddy bear!

Sorry to be long winded!! Im just so happy that Matt is home!! Thank you for your prayers!!!!

So happy Matt is home!

Has anyone else had problems getting on the Big Give site today???? or is it just me??

 

[Charmaine]

Hello DIS'ers!! Everything looks so great! I need to catch up. I am looking forward to seeing the Dr. Seuss inspired sets for his birthday tomorrow! I made my DD a skirt, i'll get a pic of her wearing it tomorrow and share it.

We are heading to DL in 8 days for my DD 7th Birthday! Here's an outfit I made for her to wear As you might notice...one of the peace "mickey ears" I did backwards! lol I might have shared the shoes before...I can't remember.

Also, been working on these for easter...not Disney related...sorry!

How fun these are! And your DD is a Beauty!

 

[GlassSlippers]

Thanks! I found it in a little store in Ruston, LA the Fabric Store. What would you do with it?

Louisiana! That would explain why I can't find it here in East Podunk, WI!

I would use it to make bowling shirt for Animal Kingdom. It would be so cute!

I had no problems yesterday afternoon -- haven't tried yet this morning. I hope it works for you today.

I remember seeing the shirt but not the pants or shoes (of course my memory surely isn't what it used to be!). I love the pants! All the Easter outfits are great as well. I especially adore how your dd will pose for you. Wish mine would do the same.


Lost my other quotes

Chiara: Cute pig! My son had a pink day when he was 3 or 4 at preschool and I tried to get him to wear a pair of Alexa's pink socks. I didn't think he'd have an issue with it since we never mentioned that pink was a girl's color. He had an issue and we had no pig shirts I think your pig turned out perfect -- your skills are really good. I've seen some of your shirts for the Big Gives that you've posted recently as well -- all fabulous!

Also adore the Tink and Ariel outfits.

Wendy -- glad Matt is on the mend. The key to cellulitis is catching it early. Needing IV antibiotics is pretty severe though. My dd and I have only taken orals, thankfully. I'm sure Matt will heal up quickly -- just make sure he stays on top of taking his antibiotics and finishes ALL of them. Is Billy for hire? I may need some help this summer and we're only a few hours away.

Missed quoting some other things and can't for the life of me remember b/c I've already been pulled away from the computer three times this morning. Everything is great though!

Adorable - I love the shoes! And the hair accessories are so cute!

Sending Prayers up Wendy!

You guys are so talented, I love watching what you make. I have gotten the "bug" and now have 21 tye dye mickey shirts, and 7 more Simply Sweets to finish up by March 28, and no days off! I am nuts! And then I bought more fabric today but it is cute!

For Animal Kingdom! I am making it into two dresses for two adorable identical twins, 5 years old. What fabric should I put with it? Or should I just make pillow case dresses?

Also got this for Sea World:

What do you think would look cute with this?

Thank you for the compliments on the tink and aerial tops, but I am so the last person to ask about coordinating fabrics. If those had not all been on the shelf together its hard telling what i would have ended up with. But here it goes. I think that I would use the fabric for a pillow case top and pair it with cut off jeans. Put a ruffle on the bottom of the jeans out of the fabric to make everything go together. You could even put a zebra on the leg of the jeans.
If you were looking more for something like I did. I would use the zebra for the top and overskirt, then match the pink on the zebra for the underskirt and applique a zebra onto that. I think that that would be suppercute and the pink would give a good contrast.

Hi Everyone,

( yes! I remembered the Banana rule-post 1 he is my fav)

I love all the work that is being displayed here. I am currently saving for my first sewing machine. I am going to go with a Brother, something reasonably priced but new. I had a hankering a few weeks ago to learn how to sew. I remember seeing DISBoutiquers in a few signatures. So here I am looking for a few new friends.

I have a little girl she's 6 and she would love some of the dresses I have seen on here. That's her absolute favorite thing to wear....dresses, dresses, dresses. Oh and Bags she loves bags....but I know I have to start small first.

I can barley sew on a button....should I learn to hand sew before using a machine?

So Glad he was sent home and is healing fast. I was there in 89. I had my surgery Jan 9, 1989 at Christiana and was sent to AI 10 days later. was Discharged the beginning of April. I went back for out patient PT for a while and I would go back and volunteer in my old wing. I made so many friends while there.

Welcome! Once you get your machine, just start sewing! I found this group three and a hlaf years ago and I have not stopped sewing. Don't worry about hand sewing. I hate sewing on buttons!

Congrats on the new machine. I was going to say bowsandclothes.com but someone beat me to it. I hope you found what you need.

That outfit is perfect for my Sea World fabric! Mind if i COPY?



So happy Matt is home!

No problem....copy away! The applique is Heathersue's if you don't already have it.

They are all beautiful...I especially love the toile outfit. It is so soft looking.

I took a few days off from sewing and my husband and I went to Mardi Gras in Galveston (his first ever, my first in 30 years). We had a great time and needed to get away so we didn't have an agenda. Took long walks on the beach, ate out a lot, looked through some souvenir shops, and made it to 2 parades (which were in front of our hotel...so no fighting the crowds). It was a great weekend.

I did manage to get a couple things made just before we left.
My oldest DD30 loves playing Scrabble. I found this fabric the other
day and just had to make her something with it. I decided to make the
Avilio Messenger bag. She loved it.

...I liked the pattern so much, I made one for myself too.

Off Topic-
It looks like I may be able to get a new vehicle. I think I want a minivan- something I know ZIP about.
My husband is looking at the hyundia elantra- and the dealership has multiple properties under one ownership, so we might get a better deal getting both at once.

The salesman said he felt the Kia Sonoma was the best minivan out there...
Do any of you have exeperience with this one?
I would like to try and find something used, with low mileage if possible.

THanks!
PS- I am almost done with my Cat In the Hat dress- I just need to sew 3 buttons on the front- I dislike sewing buttons- even decorative ones....so I keep putting it off!

 

[aboveH20]

Has anyone ever tried to embroider on hats or caps? I found a hoop for my machine, but I am not sure how well it will work...anyone?

Nini

I have the cap hoop but have never used it. If I can find a hat to practice on I'll give it a try today and report back.

I love your handbags and the fabrics. I seem to always carry the same bag, but I've seen so many great creations on here that I tell myself to make a new one. Choosing the fabric would certainly be fun.

 

[T-rox]

so i see loads of you loving your sergers. so i dig out my moms ( which was her moms) that she doesnt use. it is a simplicity serger from 1987. it took about 45 mintues to thread it last night, and then, the very last hole of the very last spool on the very last needle, i simply could not get the thread in the hole, with or without the tweezers that came with the machine. then i figured, i am not the type to spend 45 mintues threading something when i need it. so are newer sergers much better and do you all have infinite patience? tia

I certainly wouldn't bother learning to hand sew well before using your machine. They are two different skills. Have fun learning how to use your sewing machine!

 

[WyomingMomof6]

Love the lamp purse! Did you use a pattern or make up your own?

Very cute! I understand about uncooperative kids, lol!

The top is a modified Simply Sweet and the pants are Easy Fits with leg elastic, I don't think the pic goes down far enough to see that. The sparkly fabric wasn't itchy, it was softer than it looks.

Love it!

Sending Prayers up Wendy!

Also got this for Sea World:

Great finds! Love the zebra fabric!

Love the bags! I have a bag pattern but I have yet to try it!

 

[WyomingMomof6]

I stayed up really late last night finishing these for "Read Across America" day. It was really hard for me to cut into this Dr. Seuss fabric! I've been hoarding it for months!

Connor was full of attitude this morning.

Close up of his jeans. I am sure in another year or two he will refuse to wear anything like this, so I'm taking advantage while he still will!

Back of Alexa's dress. I think I need to shorten the straps. She was in bed when I finished it so I couldn't try it on her until this morning.
