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

[*Toadstool*]

Sorry to be repeating myself but I didn't get an answer when I originally posted this question. I am just curious about ESTY and also one of my co-workers' wives makes homemade soaps that everyone loves. I told him I thought ESTY might be a good place for her to broaden her market. Thanks for any info!

Not sure what you are wanting to know. I buy and sell there and its very similar to ebay if that helps you any. You don't bit on items though.. they all have a set price. There are alot of people that sells soap on etsy though. She might want to take a look at the other shops first and see if she can compete with their prices and such.

Aww, I was in the photobucket account and saw this. Where did little Dallas go?

Aww!! Hi, Little Dallas!!

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

Very cute! I love the ruffles. Wish my DD could wear skirts. They still look really bad on her cause she pulls the front waaaay down.

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.

Have you tried looking for a yahoo group? I know there are alot for Embird and PE design and such. It does take a lot of time. I started digitizing when Hannah was a baby because I could never find things like I wanted them to look, but now there are alot of options.

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!


Nini

If it helps you feel any better.. it is totally worth the money!! It is so lovely to work with.

HELP ME CHOOSE-
If I were going to do a cotton version of Belle (just inspired by Ellen's facebook)
I want to use Fairy Frost fabric-
there are 2 fairy frost yellows I could choose from-
This is Maize from fabric.com
http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=e2cf1428-3a77-49e8-bbcc-0fd2d29dae51
Or Banana from maryjos.com
http://maryjos.com/fabrics/quilting-fairy-frost-banana-2412

which one??

No clue on which one.. Just a word of caution the bolts of fairy frost don't seem to match. I matched up the sku numbers and all that and ordered from 3 different places to match some I already had and none of them matched. I made Hannah's Belle dress out of fairy frost since she can't wear poly satin. I couldn't finish it because I ran out of fabric.. I didn't have enough to do the flounce part at the bottom. I'm so sad that I can't find anymore the same shade. I bought what the pattern called for.. all 5 yards of it, but I ran out because I messed up on the bodice and cut another out. So get plenty of it!!!

i've only been on here since thread 22, thus i have to believe this has been done before. but i did it too. had the idea to do a portrait peasant nightgown which then morphed into a wendy darling nightgown. enjoy

So cute! My daughter would love this. She is obsessed with Wendy!! So sad we didn't see her in December.

Since I never posted these, I will give you a mini trip report on the customs from our last trip. These are the best pics I've got, so bear with me!

AK day.
made with the simply sweet:

OK, I think that's enough for now. I will do the rest later Thanks for looking!

Oh wow! Love all your creations. Belle dress is stunning. I made Hannah a cotton Belle too, but I ran out of fabric and couldn't do that little flouncy part. It looks soooo pretty with that! Now I want to make another!! She is beautiful in that dress!

The only authentic Belle pattern they have done is that Simplicity 9902. Last I knew they were going for around $50 when they did show up. Look around though. You never know when a bargain might pop up.

Color me guilty of buying it for an outrageous price!!! eeps!!

.
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.

That came out beautiful!! You got the perfect color satin there it looks like. I've made this pattern too. It sure was alot of work but the payoff was pretty good.

TTTQ anything else!

I will not look, I will not look, I will not look....

(in case you want to look, I just got an email from Fabric.com...another sale on $5.00 and under......) I WILL NOT LOOK....)


Sigh..

In case anyone was wondering my mom's cat scans last month showed that her cancer is shrinking. They say its still really bad and terminal, but I believe God can work miracles.. and cancer shrinking sure sounds like one to me. Chemo is making her really sick though. That part is so rough. Little Hannah doesn't understand why she isn't getting better either.

I totally love the princess cameo appliques. I think I remember someone saying that they were your designs...do you sell them somewhere? PM me if its not "legal" to post it here.

Also, I wanted to let you know that I'll be praying for your mom and for her miracle. Cancer is such an ugly disease, I love to see people beating it, though the side effects can be so hard sometimes.

Sorry to post without commenting again, I'm not fully awake yet

For those who have AG dolls, can someone give me an idea of size? dd has a couple Cabbage Patch Kids Newborns that I want to make clothes for, but I am not so great at sewing yet that I don't know if I could make a pattern for them. I might be able to alter one though. Here is what she has:

In case you can't see the numbers, she is 8" from neck to toes and about 9" chest circumference. Her body is soft, so she can squeeze into things if needed lol

I think there might be patterns for CPKs... I don't think that altering AG patterns will work - as their body shapes are totally different - and their sizes are way off.

Maybe someone else here has sewn for CPKs before and can tell you better than I can???

[DMGeurts]

I forgot to say that AGs are 18" tall.

Ok, I'm fairly new to machine embroidery and thus far have only been embroidering size xs children's shirts. Now I'm trying to do a Large size child's shirt and hooping it in the same way that I've done the other shirts. However my clamps (hair clamps) are up higher because there is more material in the shirt to clamp down. Now the clamps are getting in the way of the presser lever and keep raising it up. That throws my sewing off the track. I've tried two shirts now for my Make a Wish Big Give and they're not coming out right! Is there anything I can do to keep this from happening or anyway of hooping or clamping the shirts? (please, please, please)

Thanks

I find that the larger the shirt is, the less clips I use to clip it out of the way. I just tend to hold it out of the way right around the design, if that makes sense.

Heyyyy sewers (one who sews, not the place rain water goes)...

I have a little less than a million NEW girl-clothing patterns that include Disney Princesses to give to a good home. I don't want to sell or trade them.

I tend to over-buy at 99 cent sales!


Oh, they are all for 4T and smaller.

Please PM me if interested. (this thread moves too fast, and I'm lame at keeping up)

Team Mickey! (LOL, I'm trying to make that catch on)


EDITED TO ADD: Fruto76 "wins" (LOL) Glad they'll be going to a nice home! <3

Does anyone know of a good source for farbenmix patterns besides ordering directly from them? I want the Pitt pattern (boys pants) and can't seem to find it from anyone but the company. Or, does anyone have one they're done with they'd want to sell?

Guess what! The Mr. just gave the go-ahead for the Girls Trip that DD18 wants to take!

It looks like we'll be checking in on June 19th and out on June 24th! How cool is that!?!? We're going to be checking into the College Program for summer 2012 for DD while we're there and maybe even an internship for me since I'm already a Disney Store Cast Member.

Now I need to get started on those customs she wants and I'm hoping someone can recommend a few patterns. We need a bowling shirt for a juniors size 1/2 or XS (teeny, I know) and a misses medium to large. I don't care if they're technically men's patterns. I don't think it would matter much with this kind of shirt, would it? I also need a stripwork skirt pattern in the same sizes. Which ones do y'all use?

Right now we're so excited we're practically vibrating!

Thanks for "listening"!

Lori in East Podunk

Lori, Just take the skilz from the bowling shirt, like sewing the strip in front and then lay the commercial pattern down and cut it out. I always use the bowling shirt collar method. I do the sleeves with lining and then have to set them up as in a bowling shirt. I plan to get a tutorial done this week.

Are you floating the shirts? Are you opening them up first?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

That was ME! I saw your family at the Guest Relations building right outside Magic Kingdom wearing the patchwork twirls, bowling shirts, and pirate shirts. I remember your DH and another lady on an ECV. I went right up to your DH and said, "I know that pattern! That's a bowling shirt!" He was super nice and told me that you were in line and to wait to say hello....but DS5 was pulling at my arm and wanting to get into the park. I told your DH that I'd look for you inside but never found you again.

We got TONS of compliments on my kids' outfits...I was so proud of my hard work! One thing I learned the hard way - try the clothes on before you leave! I spent hours making that cute pink Portrait Peasant and embellishing it only to find out at WDW that it was way too small for DD! I was SO sad.

Pics to follow...

I am so sorry we missed each other. DH told me you came right up and was so nice. I so understand the kids pulling to get going so don't think a thing about it.

We got stopped in the park several times and heard more than once "it's them". Very cute. I always bring a little sewing kit just in case and do make everyone try on. Sorry her dress didn't fit.

Are you all unpacked? Are you back to real life?

I purchased my VIDA from this site: http://www.banberryplace.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2

and they were quick with shipping.

What are the clips for?To hold down the shirt I have never done it that way. I just spray the stabilizer and lay the shirt on top. I then just make sure to keep the rest of the shirt out of the way when the machine is sewing.

I am on my iPad and I always loose my quotes on it. The float is so cute. I am finally working on some projects. It took me an hour to find the easy fit pants I cut out for ds.

LOL, I feel your pain!!! I can't quote on my iPad either, especially if its a long OP and forget multiquoting...is your problem the same as mine...you can't see the bottom of the message your trying to quote, so you can't start writing? That's what Im dealng with, I thought I just didnt know how to use it well enough yet, its still new to me. So, if anyone sees me comment and not by quoting the OP, that's why.

Such a great float. She looks like she is having a lot of fun. The dress is gorgeous. We are from Chicago, but the kids and I were able to head down to Grand Isle last year for Mardi Gras and loved it! Feel like we are missing out this year, but planning to head back again next year, I hope! Will keep praying for your mom. God does work miracles, and I'm praying he's sending one your way!

I have an se400 I love it because you can get your images online. There are several places to get designs. HeatherSue has some of the best she is on Etsy and Facebook.
