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

[DMGeurts]

I have two very special outfits to share.....

DMGeurts made these for Megan's AG dolls....Minnie mouse was Megan's first disney love and Goofy who was my DH Jim's favorite, in his memory

D - thank you again for making such special outfits for Megan...its really means alot to me (D- gave me permission to post the photos)

when Megan opened them she said "Mama, they are so much better than AG clothes you get in the store!" I totally agree

D, you made my girl very happy!!!

Thank you for such a wonderful compliment Lisa! You truly did bring a tear to my eye, and I am so happy you let me share in the opening of her package. Even my girls took a peek - and they were delighted to see the look on Megan's face too. We hope your Disney trip in a few weeks is magical and fun!

WOW! Everyones creations are so great! You are all so inspiring!

Minnie skirt for DD9

These turned out so cute... I love the skirt! I am so partial to those red dots!

I used the Simplicity 9902 as well.

.
I stalked facebook and etsy for a very long time to find one for a good price, I wasn't willing to pay $50 for it. I eventually ended up finding what I wanted, but it took quite a while.

WOW!! Wonderful job!

Okay, so totally off topic...but if you happen to live in CT or a neighboring state and you are looking to adopt...our new foster puppy Buffy is looking for a home.

Awwww... I wish I lived closer. I have such a soft spot for dogs. I hope you are able to find a good home for him/her.

Needed some spring colors in my life last night, so I whipped up these little 6mos size summer dresses.

Oooh - I love these~! Where did you find that daisy fabric??? I just love it!

I love the saying on this! Great job!

A tink patchwork twirl:

A Woody and Buzz bowling shirt:

Amazing job~! I love the fabric placement on the bowling shirt.

Yay finished another simply sweet! They are getting easier. Thanks again for the inspiration.

I really like your fabric choices for this outfit... they are simple yet so charming!

Mainly posting because I'm up waiting for DH to get up from his nap to start the drive to WDW!! We are leaving at midnight and driving through (about 9-10 hours from New Orleans) with the hope that DD7 and DS10 months sleep most of the way.

Here's hoping for nice weather!

I hope you have a great trip!

Just posted this on FB, now I need to ask your here...

I'm making two of these. On the 2nd one the bodice and bottom pieces are opposite of this one. I want to put bias tape around the bottom of both - but what color?
I have on hand pink, orange, mint green, purple, lavender, red, and lt. blue. There is black piping separating the bodice and "Perry".
Opinions, please?

I think I'd do orange. I love how it's turning out!

Just a quick drop in to post the Tie-dye Mickey's I did for Kade's Big Give since they got their package on Thursday.

All 8 shirts

Great job on these!!

I miss my sewing! Just no time for it right now. I am living vicariously through everyone here. I really need to make at least ONE dress for Sophia before we leave! I have the material...now to just get in front of the machine!

Everyones creations are just wonderful!!!!

 

[NiniMorris]

So...I am killing time by looking at the Michael Miller fabric on sale...when I found the PERFECT fabric for my daughter's new window treatments...Fairy Frost. I was just looking...right?


One hundred and Fifty dollars later...I am finished shopping...er, I mean looking! (guess i just added another project to my list!

In better light

All packed up

Thats awesome! As one who has done tie dyes, I KNOW how much trouble they are! In fact, I have to get 21 done for a local wish family (that I get to go with as their nurse!)

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I feel like I am never going to catch up. I am still on page 28 but I don't like skipping around because I don't like missing ANYTHING!

But, I need some help....
I downloaded the free stitch era software so I can start putting names on things, but I am having a hard time figuring it out. I thought words would be simple. When I pick out a font and type out the name, it is just an outline of the font instead of each letter being filled in like a satin stitch. (hopefully I am making sense). Can anyone help me out and tell me how to do this? I am trying to get a shirt done for a birthday party tomorrow. Her name is Addison. Also, how do I get the Disney font in the program to use?

thanks so much! Now back to page 28 to keep reading.....

Thats an awful lot of tie dye. Very generous of you and great job.

 

[Fruto76]

LOVE all of the new outfits but I have a question.....





What is that black swirly fabric called and where do you get it? I keep seeing it on outfits and I can't seem to find it.

Great job everyone! I love seeing the outfits. I will sew again one day - not today - but soon!

I'm not sure the name, I bought it at JoAnn's. I checked my receipt and it says Black Scroll. It was on the wall with the Cottons and Calico prints in the black section. Unfortunately my store had just under a yard left so thats all I could get (but it made it a remnant so it was 50% off ) .

All of them look great! The bowling shirt instructions are great - I actually modified mine the first time I made it (so the shirt and the placket were cut together) and the shirts turned out great. I have since made them a number of times (some following the instructions and some with my own mods) - they all turned out as planned.



Wow! And you whipped them up in one evening?



I like the hat!

I have a couple of sewing projects to share from a recent Big Give, as the family has received them:

A tink patchwork twirl:

A Woody and Buzz bowling shirt:

I love how these came out, seeing the bowling shirt again makes me sure I want to do one....Thanks for the info on them, I am going to try one this weekend.

Yay finished another simply sweet! They are getting easier. Thanks again for the inspiration.

This is adorable. I haven't checked out this pattern. IS it available in bigger girls sizes? my DD is 9 and I think she would love a top in this style.

Mainly posting because I'm up waiting for DH to get up from his nap to start the drive to WDW!! We are leaving at midnight and driving through (about 9-10 hours from New Orleans) with the hope that DD7 and DS10 months sleep most of the way.

Here's hoping for nice weather!

The weather is wonderful here (tampa area) today. It's in the 80's, sunny and breezy and I think its supposed be like this all week! Have a great trip!!!!

I'd go with orange Great job on that btw!!

I agree, Orange is what came to my mind first. It's adorable!

My first time making the Audrey skirt. My daughter picked this skirt for Dr. Seuss Day.

So, so cute!


Somewhere in the multi quote I lost the tie dye shirts, but they look great !! I bet the family will love them!

My first time making the Audrey skirt. My daughter picked this skirt for Dr. Seuss Day.

This is precious. I need to work up the courage for ruffles.

I am getting behind on a few things and really need to finish the Easy Fit Pants I cut out for DS ages ago since he is having a pajama day at school next week.

I am also finally going to start my first bowling shirt for DS as soon as I wash the fabric.

There has been so much great stuff posted the past 2 days.

I am not feeling the orange myself, but my first thoughts aren't on your list. I think the teal or black would look nice. It's looking really cute, I'm sure whichever you choose will look adorable!

I've done it, but without opening up my program, I can never remember exactly how! If I get a chance later, I'll open up the program and figure it out for you!

thank u tj, i have looked for this various places, repeatedly. i had given up. could not see the forrest for the trees i suppose. thank u very much!

 

[Granna4679]

WOW! Everyones creations are so great! You are all so inspiring!

Here is what I have been working on the last couple days
Tink Sundress for DD9

Minnie skirt for DD9

and I made a matching Minnie for my DN2 who will be coming with us in May.

I'm thinking to match the skirts I'll embellish some tanks with rosettes or maybe even do an applique, but I'm not so good at that. Depends on how daring I feel, I guess. I still haven't decided if I'm going to do an Ariel top or skirt, yet. It was originally meant for a top, but DD just loves the Minnie skirt, so I might be going that route, plus it was super easy and pretty quick.

I have to come up with something for DS7. I like the bowling shirts, so maybe that will work. I didn't think he would want anything besides the tie dye shirts but after DD was trying on her stuff, he says "What are you making me?" SO looks like I'm off for some boy fabric. How difficult is the bowling shirt pattern to follow???

Sooooo cute! I love the Tink color combination, and I especially love that Tink fabric. I don't think I have seen that particular one.
Minnie dots are my fave.....I could make those all day long. You did a great job.

Very cute!!

I used the Simplicity 9902 as well.

.
I stalked facebook and etsy for a very long time to find one for a good price, I wasn't willing to pay $50 for it. I eventually ended up finding what I wanted, but it took quite a while.

Ahhh....she is precious! $50 for a pattern...OUCH! I couldn't do it either.

Needed some spring colors in my life last night, so I whipped up these little 6mos size summer dresses.

How sweet....I love making the little bitty clothes. These are adorable.

Okay, Nini, by special request, this is just for you. Despite two sons and a husband, I couldn't find a cap to practice on yesterday (we've moved twice in the last five years, so I guess we did a good job of cleaning out). Anywho, today I went to AC Moore and bought a cheapo painter's cap for $1 cuz I figured you gave me the incentive to use the cap hoop I've had forever.

I used my old machine, because I'm still not totally familair with Miss 770, but look what I made! When I brought it upstaris I saw that I missed a few jump stitches, but it was so easy to make. I might be hooked. Of course now I'll need to try real caps, not just painter's caps, and I'll have to try my new machine as well, but I'm psyched.

Haha! Love the saying!

I'm lurking from my iphone and I hate posting from it but I had to when I saw this! The ladies at the sewing store insisted my machine couldn't do hats b/c Viking doesn't make a hoop. But I found one of ebay for my machine (not made by Viking of course). So I'm wondering who made your hoop? If I can do caps, DH will be so psyched and will totally justify the cost of the machine. He really wants me to make our brother-in-law a hat that says, "I survived Spaceship Earth." Its a long standing inside joke mostly based on the fact that when Epcot first opened he thought it was a thrill ride. Psyched to ride it, he got on it and was sorely disappointed. He is still not over it and tells everyone the story. Even my DD4 will tell you about it when she sees the big silver ball! Maybe it doesn't sound so funny now that I'm typing it. But trust me, its hilarious to us every trip to DW and we laugh and laugh!

Just had to chime in. I loved the story. My DD30 is still afraid of Splash Mountain. We used to go to Astroworld/Six Flags when she was a kid and she hated the log ride....would cry when we made her go on it even as a teenage. When we went to DW year before last we gave her such a hard time. She would ride anything else...no matter how scarey...but was still afraid of Splash Mtn.

A cute nightgown!

I have two very special outfits to share.....

DMGeurts made these for Megan's AG dolls....Minnie mouse was Megan's first disney love and Goofy who was my DH Jim's favorite, in his memory

D - thank you again for making such special outfits for Megan...its really means alot to me (D- gave me permission to post the photos)

when Megan opened them she said "Mama, they are so much better than AG clothes you get in the store!" I totally agree

D, you made my girl very happy!!!

What an incredibley sweet thing for you to do! I know Megan must be super thrilled with these!

I would say black or teal if you can get it.

My first time making the Audrey skirt. My daughter picked this skirt for Dr. Seuss Day.

That is so cute! I love that pattern...it is one of my favorites. I haven't seen any fabric that didn't look good on it.

 

[aboveH20]

COOL!!!!

If I remember right, you have a hoop that is priced somewhere between the two I found online....(25 and 175). Do you think the hoop you have will work on the 770? I may have to take the plunge and get one...I only had a request for 6 hats...and it isn't something I really want to do, but the 6 hats is a small part of a much larger order...

Thank you so much...I feel kinda guilty 'forcing' you to do that...even if you did find a new obsession (like we don't have enough!!)

Do you remember the brand of hoop you have? And...you used my favorite word...easy!!!



Nini

The hoop I have is called Hoop it All, and I checked, it doesn't fit 770. My older machine is a Baby Lock and I thought they were "related" to Brother, so I hoped it was interchangeable, but it isn't. I have to repeat, reading the directions for Hoop It All took longer than actually stitching it. It is easy, and not hard to set up.

I'm lurking from my iphone and I hate posting from it but I had to when I saw this! The ladies at the sewing store insisted my machine couldn't do hats b/c Viking doesn't make a hoop. But I found one of ebay for my machine (not made by Viking of course). So I'm wondering who made your hoop? If I can do caps, DH will be so psyched and will totally justify the cost of the machine. He really wants me to make our brother-in-law a hat that says, "I survived Spaceship Earth."

But trust me, its hilarious to us every trip to DW and we laugh and laugh!

I was trying to think of something clever to put on my test cap. I like "I survived Spaceshp Earth". Keep looking for some photos below.

I like the hat!

Thanks. I'm already trying to figure out what to do on the next one.

I love the saying on this! Great job!

Thanks. And because you shared photos of your daughters' walls, I'll share my wall in the basement.


Here's Hoop It All

I "re-enacted" how it fits on the machine. Obviously you have to rotate 90°

This is soooo cute! I love the skirt, I'm scared to try ruffles.

So much cute Dr. Seuss stuff this week!

[NiniMorris]

Thank you ....I found th Hoop It All for the 770 for only $120. Now I have to convince myself that is is a good business purchase....I just bought a new set of hoops for my machine from EBAY...I'm not sure I can justify another large purchase...until more money comes in. We'll see!

[jas0202]

Does anyone know of any *free* tutorials for stitch era? I have the free program...and I can't even begin to know where to start. Maybe I should just give up and buy from Heather.

I would love to know the answer to this also...the manual is soooo confusing to me! maybe I should try sleeping with it under my pillow and then I would learn thru osmosis!
