Disboutiquers Part 25 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[OhStuffandFluff]

Just wanted to again say thank you to everyone for their help and input on this board!! You all are so wonderful!!

My question is does anyone have a favorite pattern for a corset dress? I am wanting to make a rapunzel dress for my daughter - per her request I haven't had much luck finding exactly what I am looking for yet. Your advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I looked at the DigitalByDesign page and I see her text "All you need is faith, trust and pixie dust" image and that's very similar but not the same as the one I saw. I am going to post a picture when I can get back onto my laptop and see if anyone recognizes the design. I asked the lady selling the outfit where she got her design from and she never responded

LOVE it!! That's it...I have to give this a try. Can you tell me what you did/which tutorial you used? It turned out so cute! You did a great job.

I used this one to refer to when I was actually making the tutu:

Here's a "how to" :

This is a great explanation of how to do the knot I used:

This one is a great video of the two different types of knots you can use:

And this just has lots of ideas:

Hope that helps! I didn't bookmark my favorite video and I can't find it now for the life of me!!!! She puts the elastic around her thigh and props her foot up on her "coffee, dr pepper whatever table" ... so if you find that one, she's fantastic

I will say, I used 24" tulle pieces and I used a TON of tulle (I bought five 25yd rolls -they were only $2.63 a roll- and I used about 4 of them ... 2 pinks, 2 purples, 1 black. I have 1 or 2 pieces of black left and a little more of the pink and purple is what I have the most left of) ... my pattern was purple, pink, black, pink, purple, pink, black, pink, purple ...
I used 24" pieces of ribbon ... I had to only use two pieces of each ribbon I had because I HAD to have the black & white zebra ribbon in there for a Mitochondrial Disease tie-in ... and I only had 48" of that ... I did use 6 pieces of the silver ric rac though

It might be claire from stitchontime.com

See if it is any of these ( I serached on pixie dust... not all are appropriate, lol!)?

So ... I have to share this story with y'all ... When I got to Just Fabrics yesterday there were quite a few customers in the store ... I said hello and then started browsing ... when the owner had a minute I asked her if she had any more of some of the fabrics I'd purchased the day before because I didn't see the bolts on the shelves...
She started laughing and said, "Well, yes, I do ... but I had to pull them all to be cut" I asked why ... her response, "Well, this morning I got a phone call from a man in Utah saying his wife had seen the fabrics online and he wanted to place an order. I said he must be mistaken because I don't have a website. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out that you must have posted about the store and put pictures of the fabric to your group you were telling me about! I couldn't believe you'd gotten pictures up that fast and that someone from UTAH was calling me!"
Then I told her I was going to need at least 12 yards of the Princess fabric as well as some other stuff for people in "my group"

So, needless to say, she is TOTALLY feeling the Disboutiquers love

That is funny about the lady from Utah! There are several Disboutiquers from Utah: jham, Utahmama, umm..several others whose usernames are escaping me at the moment, but they are Jeanne and Wendy's friends.

Wendy, that rainbow looks great. Love Heather's newest design!


Lauren has developed this fascination with Darth Vader. She thinks he is so funny. I got the design to make a father's day gift for Dh but Lauren asked for a pink Vader.....

And because it is pretty funny......

I love this shirt! Lauren is so funny!!
The girls and I were cracking up about that video!! Thanks for sharing!

That's wonderful advice and I really appreciate it. I'll keep the 770 on my list for now. I think it will do what my DH is looking to do anyway.

Ok, what is Chuck planning to do with the embroidery machine?
(for what it's worth, I'm LOVING my 770!)

Okay ... so I'd never made a tutu before, but I'd heard they were easy to make and lots of fun ... so when Amber needed a "rocker tutu" for Savannah for a photo shoot for the hospital next week, I talked to my cousin that makes tutus and decided I could give it a shot

I read lots of tutorials and then I headed to RYCO up in Lincoln, RI for fabulous supplies at a great price It's pretty much "Tutu Makers Heaven" in that place ... 22+ colors of tulle on rolls starting at 6" ... ribbon after ribbon ... elastic ... you name it, if RYCO makes it, it's there and inexpensive!


And the longest part of the process? CUTTING and STACKING the tulle ... the actual process of putting the tutu together is super quick ... it's the "prep work" that took a while (and of course, Savannah's BOYFRIEND - DS2 - wanted to "help" ) ...

He was nice enough to model for me when I was halfway through ...

This is adorable!!! How nice of you to make this for Amber!

I'm wondering if they just digitized it themself? It would be easy to do with Stitch Era Universal, if you knew what font it was. It looks familiar to me, I think I've seen it on a Disney Font site before. I'm not good at naming fonts though, so maybe someone else will know just which one it is.

That is a great tute!! Thanks for posting! I was curious if you knew what sizes this would work for. My daughter wears size 5 in girls. Thanks!!

She gives a size chart for length in the tute. I measured the length of one of dd's dressed to decide on length for her. It should totally work for a 5 yr old. The ones I've made for my 4 yr old fit well with room to grow.
You can also make your own "case" by sewing 2 rectangles of fabric together and hemming one edge.

This is one I made yesterday. I just need to iron it and take it to be monogrammed. I found a great stash of antique pillowcases with beautiful embroidery on the bottoms (2 of each style). I am making them for my nieces and my dd for our beach pictures.

 

[RMAMom]

Was it with multiple fabrics, or a sillouette?

No, it wasn't a silhouette it was an applique and she was holding an apple and looking at it in her hand. I tried to search it out but can't find it. I'm starting to think I dreamed the whole thing! I'll keep looking but if anyone has any idea where it may have come from I would love to know.

I love all the new creations!! They are wonderful!! Here is a t-shirt and a pair of shorts that I made one of the grandsons. I hope he likes trains.

 

[RMAMom]

I have looked through all of the pages I missed and WOW! Everything is beautiful! Super talented ladies in this group!!!!

.

I have been looking for this snow white design for days now. Finally had to go back through the thread page by page. Can you tell me where you got that design?

 

[VBAndrea]

Here is a messenger bag I made for Bridget's Big Give for her Mom. I had purchased the 7 dwarfs fabric a while back. I was excited to have an opportunity to use it for this family - they have 7 kids and each has a dwarf nickname, I thought this fabric would be appropriate for Mom:

Thanks for looking!

Ellen, the bag is beautiful! I saw it on the BG but generally save most of my comments for here. Is the applique done by hand or with your 6x10? It's just awesome.

Honestly - I don't even know why it matters, I don't have an embroidery machine anyways. LO I am just nosy and like to see what I am missing out on.

What a great dress -- super find on the pillow case! It's beautiful.

If he's anything like my ds he'll love trains! I used that fabric to make a placemat for my son for kindergarten (they had to have fabric placemats).

QUESTION????

Does a 5x7 applique look decent on a men's large t or is that too tiny of an applique to do for a large t? I have thus far only done children's t's.

5x7 works fine on an adult large and even x-tra and XX.

So a while ago, a thread or several ago, I saw boys shirts that said "Princess Protection Agent" Does anyone know where I could find this design? I'm not sure how long ago I saw it, but just loved it!

Thanks so much!!

Hi everyone

I want to take some old jeans and make them into cute twirl skirts or patch work skirts. Has anyone ever done that? Got any pics to share/show? Also I am looking for a tutorial or pattern!

Thanks!!!

Im not sure what thread this was orignally on, but I did the shirts being sold on Etsy.

 

[DMGeurts]

Thanks so much for the on the bag. I bought the dwarfs fabric on etsy a year ago or so. For a while I was stalking ebay and etsy for good disney fabric finds at a decent price, and although some try to sell for rediculous prices, every so often you come across a really good deal. I just looked it up in my etsy account, I got 4 yards of this fabric for $10, plus a little over 3 yards of monsters inc for $9, plus $7.50 shipping on the lot, so it all came to less than $4 a yard, how could I pass that up?? I didn't have a purpose in mind for it when I bought it (or any of the others I bought) which is why I now have a HUGE fabric stash, and not enough time to use it all, LOL!

Oh yeah, and great news on the applique, there's no stopping you now!!

Awesome deal on the fabric... I am going to have to start stalking Etsy more frequently... Although I think I spend just as much time there as I do on my sewing machine. LOL

You're going to share a picture, right? You know I need to see your first hand applique!!!!!

D-can't wait to see pics of your appliqué!! I'm itching to try one with multiple fabrics.

I just finished uploading the pics... I will post right after this.
