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

Carla C has doll patterns - and they are just as easy to understand as her life size patterns. She sells them in bundle packs on www.youcanmakethis.com. I'd start there!

Hi Shannon! And thanks for that. I didn't realize Carla C had those. I have used some of her patterns, so I know hers would fit the bill!

And just so you know, I finally decided to do a trip report on our December trip. I linked it below. I didn't do a great job of getting photos of all the applique sets, but I know I got some and would love for you to see them.

I really appreciate all you did.

My dd made a dress from a sewalong on an AG message board... I am not sure if that is what you are talking about. You can PM me for the link to the board, if you'd like. Here's the dress:

Thank you too! I think she'd like the tutorial too so I'll PM you. When she wanted to learn to crochet, I told her I didn't have time that day but would like to show her. Next thing I knew she came in and showed me some single and double stitches. Amazed, I asked how........ youtube. I love the girl's resourcefulness!

Was it this? https://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/featured-products/recycled-t-shirt-haltertie-back-dress.htm

Thank you. I saw that one, but now that you have the link, I think it is it. I just didn't realize it was made out of a recycled tshirt.

Are The Carla C patterns only for the computer print out, or can you buy them like regular patterns...I don't have a reliable printer..
Thanks in Advance barb

Has anyone purchased designs from glitzystichtes on etsy?

I'm looking for the good, bad and ugly before I order the ones I want. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post it. I have gotten 99% of my designs from Heather but there are a couple that I found that Heather doesn't have that I am interested in.

Thanks!!!

AG does not have to elaborate. You can google "Liberty Jane patterns" for Free patterns to fit the AG. DD learned to sew making shorts for the bitties and pillowcase dresses for the 18 inch. She is now moving on to dresses and tees.


DD has a room full of AG stuff and she loves and plays with it all. I hope your DD enjoys her dolls and leanring to sew

Thanks for the link -- I bookmarked it. I also have many of Carla's patterns that include the doll versions so we should have plenty to start with. I also figure we can easily make elastic waist skirts without any patterns. This will be a good way to use up some old fabric -- of course, knowing dd she'll want to go to the store and pick her own fabrics out!

I posted this on a hanger- but thought I would give you a modeling shot since she's wearing it today. This is the size 1 (the raspberry batik was the size 2 by Carla C)
This fits much better. i shortened it about an inch and half too.

Looks even better modeled since your little model is so cute!

Thank you. I saw that one, but now that you have the link, I think it is it. I just didn't realize it was made out of a recycled tshirt.

It doesn't necessarily have to be made from a recycled tshirt, you could use any knit fabric.

I took my free-with-purchase SERGER CLASS last night! Yayyyyeeee!
The light is ON and someone's home!

Oh..check out my new ticker

I haven't used anything from her before but she sure does have some cute designs! I'd love to know how they stitch out too. There were a couple I really liked.

[QUOTE You all give me so much help with everything since I am new and learning. I sometimes feel like I just mooch off this board and have so little to give.

My thoughts and feelings exactly. I could not have said it better. I can not wait until I can give back even just a fraction of what I have learned here already.

Thank you all for posting your projects they are inspiring and encouraging, for all the tips and tricks of the trade, and for just being so welcoming and open [/QUOTE]



ditto this whole post

I have to tell you...the first time I was able to ANSWER a question instead of ASK one I thought I'd burst from excitement!

Hi everyone!

I need to send out a BIG THANK YOU to Wendy (billwendy) between her and a bunch of her co-workes they have made 162 blankets for our Haiti Project
with these blankets and those promised or already made and delivered we are at around 300 blankets!

The Gengel family is just so amazed; as I am; with everyone's generousity in helping out so many kids in Haiti!!

With so many blankets already done and being shipped off soon, we have decided to put a hold on getting anymore blankets shipped to me until October 1st....all blankets that we receive now will be held in reserve for future kids and/or need at the orphange!

If you have already completed them, you can still send them to me and I will hold onto them for now!

Again, I can never thank you all enough for your help and compassion with our "Hugs from Megan" project!

I'm making my first skirt for a Big Give. (The girl is tiny -- waist < 20". )

1. What kind of elastic and how wide. I have non-roll 3/4" elastic, is that okay?

2. The elastic should be two inches less than her actual waist. True or False?

3. I'm really concerned about making a skirt for a girl who can't try it on so I could readjust. My gut is telling me that it would be tacky to safety pin the elastic and enclose a note to Mom suggesting she fit it, right? I should just go with the answer to Q2?

Thanks. I'm having fun in the basement putting together a prototype with old fabric scraps.

1. YOur elastic is fine.

I usually do the 2 inches for C I am always so nervous it will be too snug.

Can't wait to see

Hoorary

That's my concern, too. That it'll be too tight and therefore not wearable.

Can't wait to see

You and me both!

Thanks for the reply.

Wow Wendy!!!!! That's amazing! Lisa, I'm glad you've received such a nice response to the Hugs From Megan project.

The 3/4 inch sounds fine. I usually go 3 inches smaller than the waist size for elastic and last I read on the PTR this particular child was losing weight. I would finish it -- the Mom will have too much on her mind with final prep for the trip than to have to worry about getting the elastic fitted.

I wonder if they still sell that buttonhole elastic I used in all my maternity stuff years ago. I loved that stuff!

I've never seen it, but truth be told I just buy my elastic at Walmart. I guess Joann's or Hancock's might be a better place to look for that. Fortunately my dd doesn't seem to grow in the waistline so things I made for 18 months ago still fit (wish I could say the same re: my waistline!).

I usually use the 3/4 no roll too!! I stretch it out a few times, then measure 2" less than the waist measurement....cant wait to see what you are doing!!!

Wendy these came out great. Glad you are enjoying using the serger.

.

Love all the outfits.

Can't believe you did this in an hour. I love the colors.

I don't think you will have any trouble with that since its Japanese fabric! It seems like they are all made by the same company and the ones I have ordered are VERY nice fabric. I love working with such lovely textiles.
!

Thanks that is great to know. I am hoping to get back to sewing this weekend.

so, i am craving spring and put this together ( along with 12 other things!) this past weekend. its the striped jumper pattern, obvi without the stripework.

I am so ready for spring too. Love this dress.

My youngest daughter, Brooke, is pregnant and expecting Sept. 17. I get to be a Granna for a 3rd time and now have a new little one to sew for. We are sooo excited!! Just had to stop in and tell my friends!!!

Congrats on the great news.

Here are the shirts I did for Kade's big give for them to wear to the Wishes Dessert Party, using heathersue's dessert designs:

I saw the group photo of them wearing it. Those came out great.

Here is the shower curtain that I made

That came out great.

What a cutie pie.
