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

[Jaylin]

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

Miss Olivia picked each of the appliques for the outfits because they are her favorite from the movies. She keeps saying she wants a Max Dog which is NOT going to happen lol We have a cat (Mostly outdoor comes in to eat and when it rains) and a Boston Terrier puppy which is a hand full so I dont see a Max dog in her future anytime soon.

The sewing world is such a small world, love the outfits. But there's crazy stuff going on right now on etsy and facebook. Some serious accusations about you selling other peoples applique designs on etsy as your own..... amongst other crazy things they say you are doing..........

Thats a bummer - they say on the crocs website that they are made of the the croc material and are the traditional croc comfort. I wonder why they would say that sorry everyone - I thought they'd be more comfie for the little ones!!!

They are just like regular crocs, made out of regular crocs materials, only the style is different.
I bought a pair for Gianna to wear to WDW (even though she says she won't wear them I am holding out hope LOL).

They are the same soft smooshy crocs material as her caymans, mary janes and disney mickey head crocs.

 

[billwendy]

Pick me! Pick me! I'll organize it for you, but you have to give me embroidery lessons on your machine so I can decide if I must have one. Just wish you lived a bit closer!!!

If only you did!!! I wish I could have a neighbor that had similar interests - wouldnt that be FUN!!!

I made a Sugar & Spice top as a trial for the apron I am making for my friend.
It is also reversible. I definately like the Dumbo side better. It is a new pattern for me so I am still working out the little pains.

Today wraps up princess week for me. I know Alice is not a princess but she is British. Plus she is my favorite!

Oh I really love Alice!! That is too cute with the apron!

Here are some of the outfits I've been working on.

Dinner at Garden Grill:

OMG...you have been busy. I love the chip and dale. Super cute colors.

My Sewing/Craft Space:

DISCLAIMER: I'd say my space is 90/95% done. DH really only needs to hang up frames in the room and we have to Mat some of the things that are already up in those black frames. OH - and DH needs to organize his side (I've given him this weekend or else I'll organize it and he won't be so thrilled, he claims I "hide" things - as in put them out of view, lol).

The view out of my window:

Cabinet (you'll notice some frames piled at the bottom):

Needless to say, I'm loving my space. When I am working I pull out the ironing floor and put it in the middle of the room.

Adi - love your view! And wow...what a "duck" collection. My DD(she's 24) loves ducks...has since the day she was born and we have quite a collection too. She is expecting 1st baby and you guessed it...making bedding and everything else "ducks". We will have to pull out all of her boxes of ducks soon and see what can be used.

All of your outfits are just too precious too. I like how you did the monogram. Too bad people are not appreciative.

 

[angeque143]

I have no clue, but I would ask the girls on the Dis-signs board. They are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to iron-ons.

Use the ones from Mickey Amy they ARE GREAT!!

This is the tutorial I use. however I alter all the measurements and add a handle:

Thanks for the tutorial!

Approximately how many Eye Spy bags can you make with the 32oz size Polly Pellets?

On the back of the tag you had pictures of the items, was it a picture or were they the actual items laminated? If it was a picture of the items how did you make them so small to fit the little card?

 

[VBAndrea]

Thanks for the tutorial Andrea. This is why I like hanging out here - we all help each other out and share tips. Too bad I don't see any eye-spy bags in my future since I am too cheap to pay for shipping to send them for Big Gives.

I don't blame you --they are something I would never send across the border! Though my package to Peanut was one of the cheapest I sent. I just bought poly envelopes thinking they be cheaper to send than boxes and I just sent one and it was definitely pricier than I had hoped/expected. I can't win with shipping costs!

I made a Sugar & Spice top as a trial for the apron I am making for my friend.
It is also reversible. I definately like the Dumbo side better. It is a new pattern for me so I am still working out the little pains.

Very cute!

With a 32 oz bag I use almost 1/2 the bag of pellets to fill one eye spy bag. I have thus far made 7 eye spy bags and have used 3 bags of pellets. So generally you get about 2 eye spy bags out of each bag of pellets.

For the picture I line up all the items on my sewing table (you could just do it on a piece of poster board to get a white background -- my sewing table just happens to be white). I put them in alphabetical order b/c I'm anal like that and arrange them so each row has the same number of items (again b/c I'm anal). It ends up covering a space about the size of a sheet of paper (so I guess you could line the items up on a piece of paper as well). I take a close up picture and then I just crop it in my photo program to fit nicely on a 4.6 piece of photo paper. If it doesn't fit perfect I just trim it with paper cutter to get it looking nice. And then I print the list on cardstock to match the size of the photo, but it's approximately 4 x 6.

This is what my picture looks like before cropping it:

I crop out the part where the table goes up in the background or cut it off with paper cutter.

The most challenging part for me is to get the marble situated so it doesn't roll!

You all dont want to see my sewing room - its so trashed!!! Anyone want to come up to the philly area and organize it all for me!!!! lol

a dab of elmers school glue!!!! it will keep it still...and washes off with soap and water when you are done with the picture.

I just love everything about this pattern! Are you going to put the pattern up for sale once you are done getting the kinks out of it??? I especially love the fact that it's reversible, and I just love the shape of the bottom front - how it curves - excellent space for embroidery! Love it!

I love seeing the picture of everything you put in the bags... how fun - some of those things, I never would have thought of.

[cogero]

[chellewashere]

Lol....Im in Essington, just near the airport!!!

my room is just awful and I never want to spend the time to clean it up because Im working on the next project, you know?

So, has anyone made a washable doggie bed? my BFF is getting a new puppy and I want to make her somethings! Also, has anyone made a collar?

 

[chellewashere]

Today wraps up princess week for me. I know Alice is not a princess but she is British. Plus she is my favorite!

So beautiful and like everyone said love the soft pastel colors.

Here are some of the outfits I've been working on.

Dinner at Garden Grill:

Breakfast at Ohana's:

Here are some Easter shirts I made:

Still have more to finish and only 82 days left

Awesome!! I love the fabric. Wish I could find something like that especially the chip and dale.

Some things I've made this month:

For a "customer" - FB friend that ordered this for her DD's first visit to Disney:

Reverse Side:

These were for the principal's daughter at the school my mom works at, who turned two this month (not making her anything again, mom said she dropped it off and still hasn't said thanks!):

I'll be posting pictures of my sewing/craft room soon!

Arent they supp. to be role models for our kids?? That is sad. The outfits are great!!

My Sewing/Craft Space:

DISCLAIMER: I'd say my space is 90/95% done. DH really only needs to hang up frames in the room and we have to Mat some of the things that are already up in those black frames. OH - and DH needs to organize his side (I've given him this weekend or else I'll organize it and he won't be so thrilled, he claims I "hide" things - as in put them out of view, lol).

Close up of my work space:

(You'll notice I opted for the new machine instead of Disney next month oh and in lieu of a mother's day gift).

The view out of my window:

The closet (forgot to take pictures of it open - my scrapbook cart and Misc. Craft supplies/gift giving stash (bags, tissue, etc). Take up 1/2 of it the other 1/2 is Misc household storage.

Needless to say, I'm loving my space. When I am working I pull out the ironing floor and put it in the middle of the room.

WOW!!!! Absolutely terrific. Your view is why I am moving down south!!

I made a Sugar & Spice top as a trial for the apron I am making for my friend.
It is also reversible. I definately like the Dumbo side better. It is a new pattern for me so I am still working out the little pains.

So beautiful!! Love the sash I have tried to tie my bows like that, not even close.

Love those dresses and I really LOVE your sewing room and all your fabric. Even better that is was only $3-4/yard.

So far everything looks awesome -- though LARGER pics might be nice -- yes, that's a *ever so subtle* hint. Great fabrics -- I imagine most came from etsy??? Are they nice fabrics to work with?

Thanks Andrea. Yes I did splurge and order some of the fabric from THISTHATfromJapan. She was great to deal with and the fabric was great to work with. The ChipNdale fabric was different from what we can buy around here, the loose threads were like soft webby cotton

I will put bigger pics up next time. I have a few more photos to post.

CUTE CUTE CUTE!! I love the appliques and fabrics you used. I have that chip and dale too, and I've been trying to brainstorm what I'm gonna do with them!

Thanks. I can't wait to see what you make with it.

I love everything!!!
D~

Thanks D

Miprender - lovin all those adorable outfits!! I spy some fun fabric there!!!!!

Thanks Wendy

Good job on all of them. I can't wait to see pictures of them "in action."

Thanks I can't wait either only 82 days!

That is too bad. I always wondered about that since it would be quite easy to do that.

I made a Sugar & Spice top as a trial for the apron I am making for my friend.
It is also reversible. I definately like the Dumbo side better. It is a new pattern for me so I am still working out the little pains.

Both sides are adorable, but DUMBO is just so cute and I love your applique design of him.

OMG...you have been busy. I love the chip and dale. Super cute colors.

Thanks

 

[miprender]

Awesome!! I love the fabric. Wish I could find something like that especially the chip and dale.

I ordered it from ETSY. It comes from Japan. A yard was a little pricey at $25 but I only need a yard to make two sets of shorts size 4 & 6. So if I divide that by half it is about $12 for shorts and that is how much I normally would pay.
See that was the reasoning I used on DH when he saw how much I paid.

I drool over that Chip N Dale fabric ... I really want to get some to make the boys some outfits for when we go ... DH might have a heart attack though - on a big family reunion trip as a kid, one of the chipmunks scared the beejeezus out of one of the younger kids and DH's brother went on the defensive and got into a tussle with the chipmunk Needless to say, DH is a little apprehensive when it comes to those two
