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

[sheridee32]

If you are used to a small bag (wish I could be!) then the small one sounds perfect. (and when I say necessities...understand that my 10 year old carries wrappers from gum forEVER...you never know when you might need them! And truthfully, I am afraid to know what else is in there! LOL)

As for the straps, as previously suggested, you can use two pieces of fabric and seam at the shoulder...you can use a piece of fabric that is 2 and a half yards long...see why I have a fabric problem? Another option is to use the D rings and make it adjustable...but I never have luck with those things.

Also, when I make them, I do not put a snap or magnetic closure on them. (Mainly because I have problems finding them) but I have gotten three requests to put zippers in them...not brave enough to do that yet!

I would cut the straps 31 inches each that way you have a little give for your seam allowances and if you mess up you can use the strap pattern or size as guide for the width and cut the strap any length you want thats what i have done in the past i was told to always half the length if you want it larger than what it calls for that way you can seam it together to get the length.

Glad to hear that the Ontario Fabriclands are getting Disney prints too. I don't know how much they cost when you get them at 40% off. We quite often get them at 50% off so they are $7/metre (and no HST!). I will be happy to pick up some princess prints for you if you need some.

I think they are starting at about $14/meter, so I would get them the same as you when they do 50% off. But yes, I have to pay HST on top of that. Thanks for the offer on the princess prints if I need them bad enough I may take you up on that.

Here are the bur cloth cupcakes we made for our friend's baby shower last month. I had the girls sew them up. They started to do the clipping, but then got tired, so I did most of that! We all rolled them up into cupcakes. These were a lot of fun, and were the HIT of the shower!


In the cupcake box

Out on "the board"

Simply Sweet dress with a Heathersue Minnie Head.

Those burp cloth cupcakes are adorable, gonna have to remember that idea. And very cute minnie dress too.

Side 2

Adorable. Great use of the print on the fleece.

We took the kids to the local daffodil festival today. Here she is (and her brother) in the dress I made. (Okay, so I went a little photo happy!)

Great shots, and OMG, I have never seen so many dafodils in one place. (I know, I am sheltered, but I live up north)

WOW love everything that was posted!! Those Daffodil pictures just POP!!! Love the buzz and woody shirts too - cant wait to see them modeled!! Speaking of models, I actually have kids wearing something I made for a change!!! lol...we had fun at beauty and the beast tonight. I was surprised how well the high schoolers did!!! Gaston was my favorite in the show - hillarious. The kids got a bit bored with the songs that are not in the movie - lol.....of course I sat with Hannah who narrated the whole show!! She notice the strangest details. In the very opening number Han says "Aunt Wendy - do you like Belle's shoes"? - lol....cracks me UP!!!! Her headband kept slinding on her head towards the back - how should I adjust it so it doesnt do that next time????

2 Beauty's and a BEAST!!!

They look great Wendy, such an awesome aunt you are.

I haven't posted in quite a while and haven't been checking either...I can't believe you are all past 100 pages! I sure have missed all of you! I have a few dresses that I am looking forward to posting when they are finished-hopefully this weekend. Love everything that I have had a chance to look at, everything is beautiful!!!!! My DD did turn 6 last weekend and I made her a cute cupcake Vida, so it is funny that so many cupcake outfits where posted not too far back. She got a dog which she really wanted!!!! We had so much fun at her Bluealicious Birthday Party.

Very cute. Love the cupcake fabric for birthday clothing.

My oldest, Hunter, is in Civil Air Patrol and they marched in the parade. The parade is a huge deal around here, and one of the traditions is for the girls watching to wear brightly colored lipstick and run out to kiss boys that are marching. Watchers also put beads on the marchers like a reverse Mardi Gras. When I dropped Hunter off, he was in his uniform looking clean and sharp. When I picked him up, this is what I got:

He said he got 22 kisses (and obviously a ridiculous amount of beads) and he can't wait to march again next year.

My 13 yr old DS is sitting here with me and wants to know how he can get in on this action

And holy moley, that is a lot of shirts Great job.

Just wanted to share my 2 little ones in their St Patricks Day attire.

Also, I made some outfits for a babyshower for twin girls. They are matching and reversible.

Very cute. Love the twin sets.

Gorgeous pictures - and the dress is just so perfectly planned!

thank you! One of the digitizers did the daffodil applique design for me a few weeks back. It turned out great!

Great photos! When I saw the pics of your dh and the kids I thought, wow -- they sure look like their Dad! Then when I saw the pic of you with your kids I thought wow -- they sure look like you! You and your dh could be related! I have another set of married friends who look like they could be twins!

Thanks! It is funny! We have so many people tell us that!

Beautiful photos, beautiful dress, beautiful kids, beautiful flowers, beautiful weather!

Thank you!!!

Great shots, and OMG, I have never seen so many dafodils in one place. (I know, I am sheltered, but I live up north)

Thanks!! Those are all just partial shots of the field!! It is massive and so so beautiful. We have taken the kids every year since they were little.

I know enough not to count my chickens before they are hatched...however, a big opportunity has just landed in my lap that MIGHT mean a profit of around 500 for me. IF it comes true...I think that serger at HSN might become mine.

Of course, I haven't gotten the contract yet, and it will mean a large amount of work to get it finished in time, but it is definitely doable!

I just need to rework my numbers to make sure my profit is what I think it is and no hidden expenses...wish me luck!

On a rainy Saturday I was able to complete CarlaC's Sleeping Beauty. Somehow I miscut the sleeves but I think I was able to make it work. It's a little big but she'll only wear it for dinner at Akershus, maybe it will still fit for Halloween.

I would love to see a picture of the cupcake-burp cloths before they are in the cupcake.

Okay..I've lurked here for the longest time...and just drool over all your creations. You are all so clever and so encouraging to everyone. I've learned alot and appreciate all of you so much. I have managed to make some appliqued shirts (by zigzag) on my old Kenmore, and can only dream of having an embroy. machine...
I'm looking at a pair of jeans that I got at the thrift store for my DGD she's 4..and wondering if it is possible to make a skirt for her and put some of those "ruffles" on the back. Has anyone ever done this? Do you think it would work? Or should I just plan to applique something on the legs by opening the seams the way I've read about here.
Thank you for any help you can send my way...

That is just way too much cute... and the dress isn't too bad either.

I just wanted to say WELCOME!!! I can't help with your question, because, as of now, I only do hand embroidery... but I am sure someone here will chime in with an answer to you.

D~

 

[DMGeurts]

Well, yes, fabric speaks to me, too. It says, "You know I'm just going to sit in a dark drawer, smashed in with other "gotta have" fabrics, but please buy me anyway. Who knows, it's possible some day you might be tempted to sew, and there I'll be. Wrinkled and waiting."

ROFL!!!

I was going to suggest taking a look at your favorite bag. But you beat me to it. I like a cross shoulder bag also. Especially for vaca. Instead of fabric, what about using the nylong or cotton webbing? I like to do that, then I can put those rubber things on it, to cushion the shoulder.

That is a good idea - I will have to look into that. Do you know where I'd find it - do they carry it at the fabric store??

If you are used to a small bag (wish I could be!) then the small one sounds perfect. (and when I say necessities...understand that my 10 year old carries wrappers from gum forEVER...you never know when you might need them! And truthfully, I am afraid to know what else is in there! LOL)

I would love a zipper on mine - but I have not graduated to zippers yet. I think I am going to end up using two pieces of fabric, like you said. But I am not sure yet.

I have determined the the small Rosetta will be the size I'd like to try first.

your pictures are so sweet and what precious memories!

 

[effervescent]

Does your fabric ever "speak" to you? Like, when you see it, it says "I am destined to be _______, please make me that way." LOL

All the time - and I always buy it, but only occasionally get to the project!

Very cute!

Love the pics Kendra - the kids are really adorable!!! Gotta watch your oldest though!!! hahaha

Thanks! I can't believe Hunter is so grown already - the uniform really adds to it. I ran across some pictures of the Christmas that my husband was deployed, so '08 - he looked like a kid. Now he's starting to talk about college!

My 13 yr old DS is sitting here with me and wants to know how he can get in on this action

And holy moley, that is a lot of shirts Great job.

Tell him to buy a pair of BDUs and come on down for next year! He'll have to march in the heat for about 3 hours, but according to Hunter it's well worth it!

Yes, I felt like I was chained to my embroidery machine forever there for awhile, but I really do enjoy making them.

Thanks!! Those are all just partial shots of the field!! It is massive and so so beautiful. We have taken the kids every year since they were little.

Those pictures are gorgeous. I wish I could see it in person, I'm sure it's stunning.

Does anyone have any experience with the LLBean girls rashguards? Im wondering if the pastel pink or blue will be come see through when wet???? I HATE that!!!

Just heard on FB that little Kade's family came back from EPCOT to find that their hot water heater in their villa had broken open!!! They had to switch to another villa!!!! I have seen some CUTE pictures of the family in their outfits!!!

Great job. I love how they're truly African inspired prints. Enjoy your meal at Tusker House. It used to be a favorite but we haven't been back since it became a character meal. Your kids will be real hits with their outfits.
