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

[VBAndrea]

Okay ... as promised, here's what I've sewn in the past few days ...

Disney Decoupaged Jeans:

Star Wars Jeans (which are cut-offs that I attached the sw fabric to the bottoms of):

Pillowcase dress (on which I learned french seams, ric-rac and bias tape):

Flat front "pirate pants" with pockets (made using a free tutorial that is almost as easy as the EasyFits!):

(Finn totally picked out both of the fabrics for these... cotton pants with flannel pirate pockets )

Everything is fabulous! The Disney Deco jeans are my favorite --they are so awesome! How I wish I sewed when my son was young.

LOVE this!!!! That Nemo fabric is TDF! Was it a recent purchase???

I got that Nemo fabric about 1.5 years ago from e-bay (I only paid $4 a yard so was happy with that!). I have never seen it in the stores but I've only been sewing for less than 2 years.

I've been a lurked lately, sewing like crazy for our cruise. I'll post pics of the clothes later, but wanted to share my Fish Extender. The FE (as it's referred to on the DIS cruise forum) is to collect presents from other DISers on your DCL cruise, sort of a secret Santa thing. The ship has a fish outside of each cabin that CM's use to leave messages for the guests in each cabin...the FE is a series of pockets that allow for gifts to be left in, "extending" the fish. If this is confusing, hop on over to the cruise forum, I was clueless!

I made a pocket for each of us, with our fav character on it. Jay didn't really want to play along, but liked the Mickey Gator I created for him. He's a big UF Gator fan, but I wanted it to stay with the theme, so I had to get creative, lol.

Looks amazing with all the applique work -- I bet you will have the neatest fish extender on the cruise!

I'm a long time mostly lurker here. I love all your creatations. Unfortunationly, my daughter's all grown up and I only get to make Halloween costumes and baby quilts, now.

Our Walmart is getting the fabric department back. The racks are up and some of the notions. We're all super excited about it since the only place to get fabric is Joann's and there's not much of a selection. If we got ours back, there's hope for other stores, too.
Liz

That is exciting!!!! We still have two Walmarts with fabric and one is tons better than the other, but I did ask the lady at my favorite one and she likewise heard fabrics were coming back to some of the other stores.

Well I finally finished one of the AG outfits. It's pretty simple, but we like it.

Our photo session was cut short due to a few rain drops. Here are a some pictures....

A full body shot

Close up of skirt detail

Close up of shirt detail. I must confess the stars were not planned. When I first embroidered the logo on the shirt it was about 2:30 in the morning. LOL! I had one of those moments where I was laying in bed and couldn't stop thinking about what I wanted to create, so I had to get up and start. Whatever possessed me to put the logo so far down on the shirt I will never know! I do like my "fix" though!

Thanks for looking!
Jeana

Absolutely adorable! I love the shirt with the extra stars. Is it hard to embroider on rib knit?


Sorry I botched this quote so it will appear as not quoted...(I'm making it purple though!)

I have the Meghan peasant pattern from Sis Boom

Do you think it would be "too much" to make myself a dress with the bodice and cap sleeves in black cotton and the skirt in red & white minnie dot??? It'd be one of those "can only wear it in the parks" dresses, wouldn't it? Or could I pull it off out and about? I need opinions... I haven't cut or sewn that dress at ALL yet because I can't decide what to make it out of ... I have a piece of nice black cotton and I have a piece of red & white minnie dot ...
Suggestions?????

I think it would look fabulous. I love anything black and white or black and red so i think the combination will be fabulous. And I love dots so i would wear it again -- not just at Dis. I really need to get that pattern for myself. I'm just so behind on sewing for the kids.

And ENABLER ALERT: YCMT has 15% off patterns -- I think the code is Cupcake.

I am working full time this week (which I rarely do) so am behind on sewing. I did make dd a tote for her music books which I have yet to get a pic of and between before heading to work yesterday and after coming home I made her an embroidered Shih Tzu shirt. The dogs are going in to school today for a visit so I really wanted to have it done for her to wear. I had some problems -- like the needle falling out and putting a hole in the shirt so I had to shift the shirt a little to save it so now it doesn't lay quite perfect, and then when I started another color after work I thought I spooled to the proper place and actually didn't so there is some dark thread over cream where it does NOT belong but I could not get it out And I didn't have time to wash it so I'll just have her wear a tank under the t so she doesn't complain of itching or leftover sticky from the Dritz spray. I will try to get pics up by the weekend. I actually have off today since I worked well more than 8 hours the past three days. Oh, and Friday is PJ day so I want to make the kids some new jammies today in between washing and brushing the pooches for their school debut and running some errands to hopefully get some shirts for a BG and grocery shop. I am not superwoman so I think it may be a limited grocery store trip! I have to keep my priorities straight!

 

[ellenbenny]

Hey Ellen. I didn't realize you were still travelling to Michigan for your son. I'm living in Lansing during the weeks now. Maybe we can meet the next time you are in Michigan visiting.

HI Vicki,

Will definitely keep that in mind. Scott graduated from MSU in 2010 with his bachelors degree(s), but then had to complete what they call his internship year (we call it student teaching here). So he just completed that in May and now has his teaching certification for teaching history and social studies. Problem is he hasn't found a teaching position yet.

So for now he just started a job working in the children's home at St. Vincent Catholic Charities as a youth advocate. He will be moving to a housing cooperative in Lansing in August and continuing to work at the children's home if no teaching positions open up. He has been applying all over the country.

Anyway, if he stays there we will likely come visit again some time this year, so I will look you up, although we often come over a weekend rather than during the week. I'm hoping he ends up finding a teaching position which would likely require moving, but who knows!!

THanks so much for the coupon code! I had my eye on a couple of patterns.

Sounds like your week is just crazy! I hope you get some time to sew - but it doesn't sound like it. Maybe next week will be better?

Your fix is awesome! I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't confessed. Fun to see others see things about their projects....just like I do. DH is always saying...it looks fine....but I can see every little thing I know I did different than I had in my head.

Yeah, the pants ... well ... I have a feeling they're going to look a little 80s rockstar I tried to get Phalen to go with the blue & black zebra ... but he LOVES green, so ... I definitely have enough yardage that I COULD make his a little "parachute pant-like" I've been toying with at the very least putting elastic at the ankles Is that not still in style?
Sorry, sometimes I just crack myself up ... he SOOOOO doesn't see the humor Boys

Yes....boys and husbands! I hope you post pics of the 80's pants...they sound great!
This quote is confusing...but I LOVE the sis boom pattern....

Okay ... so ... here's my latest question:


I have the Meghan peasant pattern from Sis Boom

[/QUOTE]

Man I wish I had some $ in paypal right now....I would so shop at YCMT....on the other hand since I have spent more on fabric this month than usual I will have to pass ....How often does YCMT have sales?

I've finished a couple of projects but the kids are slowing me down. I stayed up last night doing the 4th of July appliques. Finished DS tshirt and did applique on fabric for DD dress....I love applique/ embroiderying before its cut out....so much easier. The kids miss their Daddy and have needed extra attention during the day We are going to see him this weekend...so we plan on going to the outlet center near ATL, and then the Aquarium...swim in the hotel pool. I finished the toddler backpack too (I will probably post these soon....but all at the same time when the July 4th dress is done).

 

[Granna4679]

The name of the book is Widow of the South. Here's the link on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Widow-South-Robert-Hicks/dp/0446500127 It was a good book - if you want - I can send you my copy. It was given to me and the giver doesn't want it back. I don't forsee myself ever reading it again - it was a good book - but it didn't reel me in like some do.

Hey - I made my ironing board cover. I love how it turned out - but I should have made it a hair wider - it covers underneeth, but just barely. But, most of all, I love the fabric - I chose the accent fabric for my sewing room, because I plan to hang the ironing board on the back of my door -so I wanted it to be cute and all.

D~

You have me interested in the book too. We stayed in Franklin, TN once in a camping area on our way through Tennessee. We still talk about that campground...it was beautiful and soooo peaceful!

I want to see the pics of the ironing board cover. I really need to make one for myself. And thats not crazy about it matching the room....I will definitely do that also. What type of fabric (upholstery, cotton, etc.) did you say you used??

Jeana - this is adorable. They are going to love it at the AG store. Take your business cards and take orders.

Hi Everyone! Haven't been on in a while. Don't even know where to begin to catch up. Juliet & I had a great time at Star Wars Weekends! Here are just a couple pictures.

Juliet met Ashley Eckstein - the voice of Ahsoka Tano from the Clone Wars cartoons - Juliet's favorite character!

She was so excited to have Ahsoka as her Padawan teacher during Jedi Training & she got to fight Ventress!
I will post more pics later. I still haven't taken them off the camera.These are just off my phone. We haven't looked at the PhotoPass ones yet either.
Thanks for looking!

Yeah I am finally seeing the end but still have about 15 more shirts to finish and only 34 days left

Dinner's at Ohana's:

Breakfast at 1900PF:

See how sparkly the fabric is on my shirt

Finding Nemo Day at Epcot:

All you need is a little faith and some pixie dust:

Your outfits for your trip are amazing. I love the Alice in Wonderland fabric! Your family will look fabulous on your trip! Good luck finishing up the last few shirts!

Anita... Maybe Marianne will pass on the book to you after she's done with it???

I will post pics of my ironing board cover later today.

All it did was, traced the original foam padding on to the insul-bright. Then I took apart the original cover and traced around that, I only did about 1.5" extra - and I really should have done 1.5" on the ends and 2.5" on the sides. I ironed it over .25" then another .5" to make the casing for the elastic. I used 1/4" elastic - threaded it through. I used a whole pkg - but then I stretched it tight - so I didn't end up using the whole pkg - but I couldn't tell you how much I actually used. The fabric I used for the top was just regular quilters cotton... I probably would have been happier with a heavier weight material - but I couldn't find any that matched - and I really loved how this particular pattern popped in my sewing room. Do any of the directions make sense? LOL.

Thanks.

Sorry, I can't remember where I got the TS fabric. I think it was Joanne's Fabric.com. I had been stocking up on fabric since last September when I decided I wanted to try sewing that I can't remember where it all came from. Old age is setting in

I found the fabric it at our local quilting store and I think it was called fairy frost. When I saw it I thought OMG I can use it for my Mickey heads

OK, and I busted my behind getting the Shih Tzu shirt done and dd got toothpaste ALL over it this morning --4 different spots!!!! She was crying soooo bad when I made her take it off and put something else on. I have it in the wash now and told her I would bring it in with the dogs this afternoon and she could quickly change into it. I was soooo angry with her ~ mainly b/c she still insisted on wearing it with blue toothpaste all over it (the shirt is chartreuse (?SP)).

WOW KIM!!!!! Everything is superb. You are going to get oodles of compliments. I can't wait to see your next three sets. You can do it -- just try for one shirt a day or if you have a day with some free time cranck out three in a day (that seems to be the wasy I do it because I get so excited when I applique!).

I also love your Mickey head swirls on your pillow cases -- coordinates perfect with the bedspread

This is great. Love how you personalized it for everyone in the family.

Oooh!!! Thanks!!! And I'm trying to figure out how I DIDN'T see that one before since she did it in conjunction with Dana-made-it!!!!

What was the name of that book again? Now you have me all interested in the story
As far as what to sew, I hear ya! I have to cut out anything and everything I might want to sew between now and Sunday TONIGHT ... and if I'm lucky first thing tomorrow morning ... after that the dining room (aka cutting/planning room) has to be used for .... DINING Who DOES such a thing? We have a surprise bridal shower here on Saturday and have tomorrow & Friday to get ready for it ... but honestly, DINING in the dining room?

I was back at the fabric store today ... I picked up red cotton (really NICE red cotton) and a cool navy & white star print ... I've got those pants in my head!!! I also picked up three different zebra prints to make the boys some "rockstar pants" for Savannah's birthday party ... I need to find them tight t-shirts to "jazz" up though ... Finn's will be black, but I don't know what color to get for Phalen (he chose neon yellow & neon green zebra ... Finn chose classic black & white zebra ... I bought neon pink & black zebra to accent with) ...

Those pants sounds like fun. Can't wait to see them. I'm wondering who uses their dining room for eating!

[DMGeurts]

I promised Anita I would post my ironing board cover... I put it in my sewing room - so you could see how it goes with the walls. As an added bonus - you can kind of see my counter tops (which are half installed) and carpet.

Close up of the fabric... the wall color is a hair greenish looking though - but the color of the ironing board cover is right.

Those look like so much fun.

Does anyone on here live in Nashville? I am visiting relatives and looking for fabric stores that carry Disney. Joanns had next to nothing.

I do! Our Joann's has a few Disney things but not much. I have not been to Hobby Lobby lately, but they have in the past. I actually find the most Disney fabrics at the WalMart on Gallatin Road in Madison. It is an older regular Wally World that still has a fabric section. I don't know of any specialty fabric shops (but I have never gone looking for them). What part of Nashville will you be in? I am right arounf the corner from Opryland Hotel in the Donelson area.

Lynn

OK...I am NO help on this one, but just had to say you both brought a smile to my face when I read these two! I was born in Franklin and lived most of my pre school life in Nashville. My Grandmother lived just off Gallatin Rd for a while.

Since my grandmother died we haven't been back much. We drive through quite a bit on our way to 'somewhere else' but never stop anymore. (especially since they moved the Quilt Show to Knoxville!)

Thanks for the smile!



Nini

Have you tried the Joans right there in Cool Springs? They may have some...I have not been to it in a long time, so not sure. The WalMart I get mine from is actually in the Rivergate area...even farther than Opryland area for you! I sent a text to a coworker that lives in the Franklin area and sews. I will let you know what she says...

Have fun!

This is what I get for not getting on more often. I missed all the talk about 'home'. I was born in Franklin & my mom grew up in Fairview. Her sister lives in Nolensville. I'd say your best bet for Disney fabric is the Cool Springs Joanns. It's a pretty nice store. At least compared to the one in North Little Rock that I have to go to.

Well I finally finished one of the AG outfits. It's pretty simple, but we like it.

Our photo session was cut short due to a few rain drops. Here are a some pictures....

A full body shot

Thanks for looking!

So cute.

Yeah I am finally seeing the end but still have about 15 more shirts to finish and only 34 days left

See how sparkly the fabric is on my shirt

All you need is a little faith and some pixie dust:

I love how everyone's shirts match without having to be the same. I try to do the same thing for out trips. Alice & Toy Story

I promised Anita I would post my ironing board cover... I put it in my sewing room - so you could see how it goes with the walls. As an added bonus - you can kind of see my counter tops (which are half installed) and carpet.

That's a very nice cover. I was going to try my hand at making one, but then my sil bought me one for Christmas.

LOVE the AG outfit!!!! So cute! They're going to get so many compliments!!!!

This is fabulous I love that skirt. I need to make this for DD she would just be over the moon.

That outfit is awesome!!! AG isn't going to know what to think when you show up The "fix" is perfect!

I love your "fix" and it looks perfect!! I've done that more times than I can count and never thought of doing such a thing, great idea!!

Your fix is awesome! I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't confessed. Fun to see others see things about their projects....just like I do. DH is always saying...it looks fine....but I can see every little thing I know I did different than I had in my head.

Jeana - this is adorable. They are going to love it at the AG store. Take your business cards and take orders.

Love it. DD7 would die for this I think the shirt looks perfect as if you had planned it that way.

Love this skirt. You girls will have such a great time at the AG store. The shirt looks great.

Thank you all so much! I just finished my oldest DD's outfit and she is in love! I left the stars off of her shirt because I didn't "mess up" the placement of her logo. Now I kinda wish I did!

Absolutely adorable! I love the shirt with the extra stars. Is it hard to embroider on rib knit?

And ENABLER ALERT: YCMT has 15% off patterns -- I think the code is

Thank you! I really don't find it too difficult to embroider on the rib knit. Although I have heard of others saying they find it a bit challenging. I am still a newbie though and haven't ventured far in embroidery yet. Oh and thanks for the coupon code! I've been eying a few things over there!

Hi Everyone! Haven't been on in a while. Don't even know where to begin to catch up. Juliet & I had a great time at Star Wars Weekends! Here are just a couple pictures.

Love all the pics! Looks like you had a great time! I am such a Star Wars geek, but nobody in my family seems to share the love! I guess a solo trip during SW weekends is in order next year!

I am so in love with everything! You have been busy busy busy! I especially love the Peter Pan sets and Slinky Dog holds a special spot in my heart!

Oh I love this so much! I have been drooling over that line of fabric for a while now! I love it so much! Your room looks like it is coming along fantastically! How exciting for you!
