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

[RMAMom]

I am trying to find both Mickey and Donald in safari hats for AK, can anyone tell me where I would find them. I have looked but keep coming up empty!

 

[mphalens]

Double check that Walmart still has there fabric at Westerly -- we moved back here in August of 2008, so it was almost three years ago.

There was only one house for sale in Jamestown when we were looking and we couldn't afford the million dollar price tag! I would have loved to have lived on Jamestown. We picked NK for a better school district and dh hates Newport traffic -- then of course we sent our son to private K instead of public b/c the good school system still didn't meet my standards. We still preferred living off island.

When we lived in RI there was a fabulous fabric store in Warwick that went out of business and had a huge clearance. I had only been in the store looking for ballerina faric to make my dd a little tote for her shoes -- I really wasn't into sewing then. Now I surely wish I had been. Just Fabrics sounds like a real find though. I should do a little research and see if I could find something down here within an hour's drive. Truly though I really only use Diney fabric for BGs, and when we went to Disney I did so much applique that I only used a couple of Disney prints.

I can't help you with the Aivilo -- I only have the tote pattern and it's not a pattern -- just measurements.

My Dad & I were just talking about the price tags on houses in Jamestown ... he was saying how they can't get any "new blood" in the Lions Club and I said it's because no one my age can afford to BUY in Jamestown any longer ... There used to be a "townie vs summer people" rift ... until the summer people started staying year-round and building bigger & bigger homes ... now the people that grew up on the island can't afford to return after going to college ... it's sad
I know exactly what store you're talking about! It was called The Fabric Place ... I used to spend HOURS there as a kid!!!!

So, Patience has been bugging me a bit about getting this photos uploaded...

Before:

After:

Patience is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I can't wait to see what y'all have come up with for her cover!!!!

I made J a pair of Buzz Light Year shorts and am trying to decide between a Buzz Applique or a Green alien applique and I can't decide LOL

LGM! LGM! LGM!

Today I sewed myself a Rosetta...first thing I have made for me in forever! Love the pattern and see many more in my future.

Wonderful! I am not a big "ruffle" girl (I'm more a "sleek lines" when it comes to bags) but the rosetta sure is cute!!!


So, today I tested a new pattern for an apron skirt ... I had lots of ideas running around my head, but I decided to go with a Belle's blue dress inspired look ... I found a cute tank at WallyWorld for $3.50 that looks like the top of Belle's white apron ... I used cotton (also from WallyWorld - couldn't beat $2.97 a yard!) in blue for the skirt and white for the apron part...

Whatcha think? I ended up making it in a size 2 and a size 5 to give as parts of birthday gifts for Finn's girlfriend and her older sister ...

The size 2 set:

The size 5 skirt:

I have a Brother 1250D Innovis and I am looking for a software program that will let me edit patterns on my computer and then use them with my machine. I talked to the local embroidery store and they "recommend" a $400 Viking 5d digitizing program. YIKES!!! That is a lot of money....so I am checking with my Dis board friends to see if they have any advice for me! Thanks in advance!!!!

Love the rosetta! It turned out so adorable! I still carry my purple and lime green one every day.

I hear a lot of people talking about Embird and Stitch Era on here... but I honestly couldn't tell you a thing about either program. I believe that one of them has a free version that a lot of people use. I'm sure someone will come through here this morning that will know a heck-of-a-lot more than I do.

I commented on the BG board but have to say it again, these are gorgeous! The fabric is perfect for the villains!
I'm lovin' all the Insa's lately...getting me motivated to start one.

Thanks!

Love the Rosetta bag, it came out great and I really love seeing all the different variations that people come up with!!

These are Big Give outfits I made for Madison and family for Pirate Night on their ship (they received them yesterday so now you all can see my Insa's).
The Bandana Mickey appliques are courtesy of HeatherSue -- I really wanted Mickey on these since it's a Disney cruise and the appliques are soooooo cute! The appliques on the skirts are from Planet Applique and I was very happy with how they stitched out. The coins hanging on the skirts are hooked on with a lobster clasp onto an eye (hook and eyes) as they can't be washed.

And thank you to my dd for finally modeling after being persuaded to for two days -- I bribed her by taking her to pick up her glasses which she was dying for. I also told her I would pay her 50 cents for modeling, and she got a dollar out of me since she modeled for both sister's outfits!

The set (front and then back):

Mike and Michelle's shirts (Mike's is really darker -- the color looks washed out from my poor photography):

Madison's (she wears my dd's size):

Front and treaure chest tush:

Twirling:

Mikayla's (a size too small for my dd so the skirt is on the short side):

Alexa loved how the coins jingled on the skirts -- it was her favorite part. I am soooooo happy with how the outfits turned out and the ease of doing the Insa.

I'm working on two more Insa's for my dd. One is all cut -- I'm just waiting on a free applique (should have just paid for it to get it right away!).

I love them! Those skirts are awesome! Did you buy just the pattern or the book? I really want to make one of those for our next trip.. And now I have plenty of material, thanks to you! The Walmart by Lynnhaven mall was awesome! I can't believe they fabrics I found there. And Hancocks was awesome too! Got some great deals! DH still hasn't found the receipts but I am sure he will.

 

[DMGeurts]

Madison's (she wears my dd's size):

I am in love~~~ Those outfits are TDF!!!! Great job Andrea!

I need to go hunt down some of that pirate fabric... I could start on outfits for our WDW trip in 2 years... LOL

Oh Cheryl.... Where are you? You must be busy making that gorgeous matching pillow case dress for yourself. Or did Ginger chain you to your sewing chair because she needed another outfit? Well, just so you know - we are all waiting for pictures of your new pillow case dress...

D~

 

[mommyof2princesses]

My wonderful fabric finds thanks to Andrea! I have never been to a Walmart with sooo much fabric! VA beach may see me again, real soon.

A hobby lobby clearance find.

Some finds from Hancocks!

Some from Wally world

The winnie the pooh was on clearance for $1.88 a yard! I didn't realize that until I got home or I would have bought the bolt! And the blue flowery princess fabric was on clearance for $2.99 a yard...I bought the last 3 yards. I couldn't believe the fabric they had on walmart and their prices. The peter pan was on clearnace and I paid less than $2 a panel! Can't wait to get sewing!

 

[DMGeurts]

So, Patience and I completed our first project yesterday - her sewing machine cover. After all that work getting her clean - I wanted to make sure I did everything I could to keep her dust free. She insisted on lots of ruffles - after all - she is living in a male dominant room...

And - I never would have done this with my other machines - but check out this stitching... It's amazing! Any crookedness you see is truly operator error, because every stitch Patience makes is truly perfect!

That's it for today folks. I actually have to go to work - so no sewing until this afternoon... but I'd really like to make a Villians outfit in AG size - so that might just be my next project.

Andrea I love the Insa skirt. I am not brave enough for it but it is absolutely stunning.

Okay and I decided on Aliens so I will be working on that tonight.

 

[DMGeurts]

OK - I seriously have been looking everywhere for this fabric... if anyone is ever in a store that has this - I would love 2 yds (or more if it's on sale).

You got some seriously awesome fabrics and I wish we had fabric like that around here.

I had to quote all your fabric because it is absolutely fabulous. I am so jealous of that princess fabric. I need to find some new places to shop.

Maybe Andrea can pick some up for you at her Hancocks. It was on sale for 40% off $7.99 this week. I almost bought more but was getting close to dh is going to kill me total!

 

[mphalens]

Thank you!

I love how these sets turned out! They are going to love them!

Thanks! I am pretty happy with how they came out... a couple of steps I'd probably change, but overall I like the project!!!

The pirate Insa's are TDF!!!! It's projects like these that so make me wish I had a girl to sew for!!!!
I can't wait to see what you do for your DD's Insas!!!!
Oh! and the method of attaching the coins - GENIUS!!!

I think you need to plan to come visit me the next time I'm in RI ... Just Fabrics had some of that pirate fabric the last time I was in there... and I know I've seen the Toy Story someplace ...

And yes, Cheryl - we are all waiting with baited breath to see what you've been making!!!!!!

Just as amazing as I'd imagined it would be!!!! Look at all those ruffles! I can't remember - does Patience have a ruffler foot?
Oooh! And AG Villians outfit ... Have fun at work!

This is just adorable. I love the little Belle skirts.

Okay and I decided on Aliens so I will be working on that tonight.

Thanks!!!! I'm glad y'all can see the Belle tie in and it's not just in my head!!!

And YAY for LGM!!!!!

Good thing I'm chained to the house with potty training 2 yr old....or my total would be there too!

She's doing ok but just slower than DS was...I thought girls were easier As soon as I put pants on her she think they are a diaper. So that limits my errand running.

 

[aboveH20]

Just an absolute quickie so you don't think I've come to an untimely demise.

I spent more time than I expected at my mother's yesterday playing Good Daughter. I completely forget to ask what attachments she has for her Singer, which based on my age I'm guessing is probaly 50+ years old.

I have my "appointment" today to meet real dolls, and I may have been optimistic in how many patterns I thought I could finish and try on them.

I finished Oliver a day ago. Last night I started a bowling shirt. I printed out the dolly size pattern, but twice had to come upstairs to my computer because it referred to pages in the full size pattern. I'm going to try to fire up the computer I put in the basement so I don't have to keep comng upstairs. I had hoped to make the bowling shirt, easy fit pants (don't think it'll be so easy on Ginger), a raglan top, and a couple others. I'm taking shortcuts in an effort to get the patterns more or less done (i.e. no buttons on the bowling shirt).

My older son is coming home this weekend and he sleeps in the room with the computer. I'm feeling withdrawal symptions already.

My younger son just got back (to port, not home) from 8 weeks in the ocean.

Gotta get sewing. 2 PM is coming.
