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

[aimeeg]

Thank you all so much! Belle was a lot of fun to make.

D- I would go for the Amazon ones. I did a little poking around for you and that seems like a good price. On ebay its about $15 (with shipping) for 25 boards. That was about the norm on google too. I think the issue becomes quality over quantity. It appears the smaller packs are archival quality for collectors.

 

[tricia]

I made these outfits for Avy's wish trip. The mom was intersted in Candyland outfits for GKTW so I made Vidas for Avy and her sister Ella. AboveH20 was kind enough to applique coordinating shirts for the boys and she made Avy and Ella some cute purses with gingerbread men in them too (hopefully she'll post hers soon).

Avy's dress is Princess Frostine with the purple and blues and Ella has Princess Lolli with the pinks and oranges:

Very pretty.

I wish I could help you with the PE770 - sadly, I don't own one yet. I am hoping soon though.

I just wanted to stop in and show a picture of dd's skirt for the wedding... again, I let her choose the fabric and the pattern - I just sewed. I really love how this one turned out.

D~

Love the colours.

Your dresses are wonderful and mom was VERY appreciative. I'm sooooo far behind in commenting that I actually wrote it on my list of things to do today. (Haven't gotten to it yet, but I mowed the lawn for the first time this year - husband planned his out of town trip well!)

Here are the t-shirts I made for the boys. Mom wanted something for Candyland, and try as I might I couldn't find anything boyish and don't have Andrea's hand applique skills. I made single color gingerbread men, hoping they look like the game pieces from Candyland.

Great stuff. Awesome idea to do the gingerbread men solid. They are perfect.

How did I miss an entire thread?!? I can't promise that I'll keep up this time, but I'll try. I miss being here, but 3 kids & a full time job is killing me. I feel like I never get to sew anymore either. I did get stuff put together for Easter & it did double duty for dd4(5 on Thursday)'s birthday party. Well, really they were for the party & they worked for Easter 'cause I didn't have time to do both.

Birthday girl as Alice - she had a vest for Easter that matched dd7's skirt

DS as the White Rabbit

Great party, and the White rabbit is adorable.

The "Happily Ever After" Collection continues with Belle.

Beautiful.

Question

Comic book boards Where do you get them from? Amazon has them at a good price ($5.99/100 pack) but it's $15.99 shipping! Does anyone know of a good place to get some, where shipping doesn't break the bank?

Thanks!

D~ <---- who is hoping that DH will install the counter in her sewing room today...

At a comic book store, of course. I paid about 6 or 7 dollars for 100 at the store.



Teresa - love the pink Cindy, awesome job as usual. How are the 13 appliques coming along?

 

[Adi12982]

sew very jealous of all that creative space!

Thanks so much!

Cute outfits and very nice sewing room. I'd like to say I'll share my craft room once we build the new house, but I know I won't! It really bums me out when I take the time to make something for somebody and they never even say thanks. Its really even nice to get a picture of the child in the said clothing, but just a general thank for thinking of me and spending time making something just for my child will do. I've stopped sewing things for a friend of mine, because I have yet to see her kids in anything I've made for them. She always says she's gonna snap a picture, but I have yet to get one.

I know how that is - I have a cousin I stopped sewing for too - I made her DD 3 outfits for her baby shower - never saw her in one of them. I did embroider some shirts for her DD's first trip, but made her buy the shirts and then sit with me a decide what designs she wanted - she paid for any I didn't already have. Other than that, I'm not doing anything else for her. And definitely NOT for the principal at my mom's school, unless something changes.

I love the sewing rooms!! Thanks for sharing the pictures...I need to get to work on my room...thanks for inspiring me


I'm hoping to get to Ikea soon...I haven't seen those desks before

I love the desks because you can customize how big they are and even what legs you use - and they are simple.

Thanks for the compliments on the sewing room

I was just gonna ask where you got the shelves, as I am hoping to redo my sewing/craft space next year. We have an IKEA opening here in October, so I guess I know where to go for my shelving! LOVE your space!

I LOVE Ikea! Good quality, great customer service and fair prices.

I love everything!!!



I love it! I plan on putting those shelves (the 4x4 ones) in my sewing room, at some point... I think I am going to do white though - although I love your light wood color too. DH is currently laying the carpet in my new sewing room... getting closer!

D~

We debated for a while between the dark wood, this and the white. Since the color in the room was pretty plain I decided white wouldn't work. I normally like darker furniture (Cherry usually - it is what almost every other piece of furniture in the house is) but I am liking this brighter look for the space.

Adi- Your room is just beautiful and so is your view! Stunning!!! I really like your set up. How have you enjoyed sewing in the space?

Adi - so jealous of your VIEW!!!!!!!!! what water are we looking at?

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

Thanks! It is just a lake - the ocean is about 2 miles East of me

Good job on the outfits. Hopefully the principal is just behind sending a thank you note or something.



Your craft space is beautiful. The view is amazing! (Sorry I had to take the picture out so I am not over the pic limit)

Thanks - I hope she is just behind on saying thanks, or else no more customs for her. Sometimes I wonder if people think that handmade things are cheaper - but they really aren't - have you seen the prices on customs over on etsy!!

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.

The ducks have a pretty cute story (and that isn't even all of them because Isabel steals them, lol. Anyhow, On our one moth of dating anniversary, I couldn't spend the day with my now DH because I was at church helping with a baby shower. They had all sorts of little stuffed an rubber toys on the tables that you could take with you when you left - I grabbed up two of them and when I saw him later that day I gave him one (and saved the other for our 2 month anniversary). It was such a short time I really wouldn't have gotten him an actual gift, but it was a silly/cute things to do. After that I gave him a duckie every month for the first year or two and then only started giving them for big things - like anniversary (years), birthday and Christmas - I usually add one as part of whatever big gift I'm giving him. His mom actually bought him the cabinet they are when he was still living at home (I was 17 and he was 18 almost 19 when we started dating) - we kept it when we got married and moved away

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


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

Thanks so much!

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

Thanks - I am a cheapskate - I do have a few things that were twice that - but I try to only shop when I have REALLY good coupons/or great sales.

Love all those outfits, Adi and sorry that you didn't get a thank you for those gifts!



What a great view! I would love a view like that but all I see right now are constructions of new homes across the street. I love your sewing room, and those colorful cubes!!

Thanks so much!!

The next time I decide it's a good idea to make an outfit with 13 embroidery designs, could someone come over and bop me over the head?

Will do - if you'll do the same for me - I get crazy ideas lie that sometimes, too. Can't wait to see it though!

Question

Comic book boards Where do you get them from? Amazon has them at a good price ($5.99/100 pack) but it's $15.99 shipping! Does anyone know of a good place to get some, where shipping doesn't break the bank?

D~ <---- who is hoping that DH will install the counter in her sewing room today...

I got mine at a local comic book store - $9 for 100 and no shipping I bought 200 and still have a bunch left.

Those ITH (in the hoop) gingerbread men can be a little addicting.

The shirts and bags are too cute! And I just love the gingerbread men!

The "Happily Ever After" Collection continues with Belle.

Beautiful as always!

The next time I decide it's a good idea to make an outfit with 13 embroidery designs, could someone come over and bop me over the head?

13 is A LOT!! I've made a few with 7 or so designs, and with each design taking about an hour to stitch out that can take a while! I bet it looks awesome though!

 

[100AcrePrincess]

Great party, and the White rabbit is adorable.

Thanks.

I finally got pics of the crocheted stuff.

[Granna4679]

This is what my picture looks like before cropping it:

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

I had to laugh....I can just imagine you getting everything set up and the marble rolling away....that would SOOOOO be me if I tried to do it!

You can stick my address in the gift. If they don't like them, they can just put them in the mail to me. I love them!!! You are super special for doing those. I bet all the teachers hope they get your children next year!!!!!

QUESTIONWith the wraptop dress - are any of you afraid the bow will come undone? Do you put a snap or a button or anything under the bow????

Wendy - they do come undone. After trial and error, I have found you either tie the ribbons in a knot first or pin the dress on the inside (pen will be hidden) just above the bow.

Dear Best Dad in the World,

May 8 is Mother's Day and I think we just found a great gift to get Mom (whose birthday you forgot).
It's a Brother PE 770 Embroidery Machine.
http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/...H182354.desc.Brother-PE770-Embroidery-Machine
I bet she would even make you a really cool t-shirt if we got this for her.

Love,
Alexa and Ben

P.S. Father's Day is just around the corner.

This is too cute!! VERY CLEVER!! I hope you get it. That would be awesome!

Here is the pink Cinderella dress I made for Princess Peanut's Wish Trip. I'm so happy they were able to go!

LOVE THIS DRESS!!! I hope we get to go back before my DGDs outgrow customs. This style Cinderella dress will be first on my list to make for them.

I just wanted to stop in and show a picture of dd's skirt for the wedding... again, I let her choose the fabric and the pattern - I just sewed. I really love how this one turned out.

D~

Ahhhhh....super cute!! I love the colors and the added ruffles. Tell DD she did a great job on the color coordination.

Avy's dress is Princess Frostine with the purple and blues and Ella has Princess Lolli with the pinks and oranges:

Adorable. You are sooooo very creative!!!!

Here are the t-shirts I made for the boys. Mom wanted something for Candyland, and try as I might I couldn't find anything boyish and don't have Andrea's hand applique skills. I made single color gingerbread men, hoping they look like the game pieces from Candyland.

I purchased a candy font that was waaaay too big for the t-shirts so decided to make little bags for the girls.

They ended up being smaller than I expected (don't know why, the first try was too big!) so I decided to put something in them.

Those ITH (in the hoop) gingerbread men can be a little addicting.

Adorable and so nice of you to coordinate with Andrea. Can you share the ITH pattern/link for us?? Pretty please?

DD7 as the Mad Hatter

DS as the White Rabbit

If I get pics taken of their Easter toys, I'll post them. I've started crocheting at night while watching tv. For some reason it seems less trouble that clearing the table to sew - probably because it is.

ETA: I've apparently forgotten how to post pics too. Hope it works this time.

Love the party pics and that little white rabbit is just adorable!!

Sooooo beautiful!!

The Mickey with the balloons on my Epcot dress (last thread) was 32 stitch changes and 2.1/2 hrs to stitch out!

I know I sound like a broken record but please pray for our state. Flash flooding started last night. It has been awful. Our backyard filled up almost to the door last night and the tiny creek at the back of our subdivision overflowed and uprooted a section of privacy fence (that was concreted in!) and washed it down the street. The same thing happened four door down at my inlaws -- the neighbor's fence ended up in his front yard! The main highway by our house flooded overnight. And we are no where near the 100 year flood plain in our area!!!

My DS spent the weekend with my mom -- about 45 minutes away -- and every road and highway except one that was almost an hour out of the way and very COUNTRY was flooded. I am a better swimmer than DH and don't fear the water like he does so I went to go get DS. I actually took his life vest with me in case we got stranded on the way back home. Thank GOD that the road remained above water -- the yards we past were just like lakes!!! I knew I wouldn't cross ANY standing water but I was afraid of idiots who would cause accidents and get me stranded. DS was terrified of the flooding and wanted to come home so I went. And all the while it was storming like crazy!! I was never so happy to hit the interstate and get home!

As we drove across the river, you could see complete boat docks that had come apart from their moorings floating down the river with boats still attached! They were all smashed up!! Some were even stuck under bridge pilings. We also saw a house boat turned upside down floating down the river. Such destruction!!!!

I think our area got between 6 and 10 inches of rain last night and they are predicting another 6 or so by tomorrow night.

So please pray for us -- especially those who have already lost their homes to tornadoes in the past few weeks and are now suffering through these horrible flash floods. We have had it relatively easy and it has been hard on our nerves....

Bless your heart!! The stress must be horrible. I will keep you and your families in my prayers.

The ducks have a pretty cute story (and that isn't even all of them because Isabel steals them, lol.

I am sure the family is going to love this beautiful dress.

I spent hours trying to make the Mickey Mouse Cake Pops for my niece's birthday. Never again. Darn, should have taken a photo-since I won't be making them again.

What is MM cake pops?

I made these outfits for Avy's wish trip. The mom was intersted in Candyland outfits for GKTW so I made Vidas for Avy and her sister Ella.

You have been very busy and have a lot on your plate. It looks like everyone had a beautiful and blessed Easter.

I am just bowled over by your mad skilz. I only wish my regular applique would come out so good. Adopt me please and teach me.

I am heading to the world very very soon! I am of course super excited. I was able to place an order with Hobby Lobby (they ship to the Cayman's ) so I will not have to be Fabric deprived any more.....and I can get started on DD customs!

My question is has anyone ever been over to the Jo Ann's Fabric in Kissimmee? Its on West Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy? I have already confirmed a 1/2 day of my trip especially for Fabric/supply shopping. Goggled mapped the driving directions and I am ready to go....need to make a list... If you've been how did it compare to your local Jo Anns how was the Fabric selection?

Oh..one more thing. I am going to go with an Embrodery Machine for my mothers day gift ( and a side cutter presserfoot for my current sewing machine) and I am looking for suggested models. I have a Brother Sewing Machine. Which machines do you guys have? Do you love it and why?

One thing I do want is to be able to download files to the machine so I can do those cute Disney and other appliques..

What supplies do I absolutly need when I start doing embrodery..I keep reading about stabalizors and I am so lost...but excited

Wow that was alot ....

thanks!

Amieeg,

How do you get your skirts to look so full and oh so boutique-ish! ( my new word for the day)....do they have an under layer?

Oh I meant to say in my previous post I love all the items posted so far! I am TLTQ (to lazy to quote) right now but they are all so pretty.....I can't wait to grow up and be like all of you!

1. I use a lot of fabric for the width!
2. I used a tutu to poof out the skirts.

Cat's out of the bag! LOL

This set I did today and I did not put anything under it. This is how the skirt naturally fell. The Belle skirt has two layers. If I put a ruffle on the skirt I generally do a ruffled underskirt.

WOW!!! So awesome.

definitely a small world!!!I've been in Yellowood almost my whole life Once when we went to Chef Mickey's.... we were seated next to a family from Blue Ridge. I still chuckle at that.....traveling over 1000 miles to meet 'neighbors'




I got an email from Joann's..... This wednesday they are offering a senior citizen discount an additional 20% off IN STORE. I'm debating whether or not to drag my MIL shopping.

I say take her!! Wish the shipping wasnt so much online they are having a great online sale. Maybe I will just order the $40 worth and get the free shipping
What year did you graduate? I knew/know lots of folks from around there, FB has bought too many folks together
We are trying to fix up our house right now to sell it and move down south

The "Happily Ever After" Collection continues with Belle.

Love it!! Saw the one with the pettiskirt how dang cute that was!!

 

[chellewashere]

Hi everybody!

My daughter is an ice skater and for the upcoming spring show, she and her duet partner were assigned the song "Footloose". As part of their costume, they decided on a pettiskirt from dancewearsolutions.com. It was not expensive (about $20), arrived quickly and was offered in loads of colors and color combinations. They're not the kind you could wear as you would a regular skirt because they don't have as many layers, but they'd certainly work as a petticoat under a skirt or dress that needed volume. The sizes run from toddler through adult. If you look on the web site, you might want to use "petticoat" if you don't have any luck with "pettiskirt" as the search word. The girls did their own on line shopping around, so I'm not sure which term they used to find it. This is a big show and recital time, so if you look and they're out of what you want, give it a few weeks and try again.

Hope someone finds this useful!

Lori in East Podunk

Ohh thanks I put in just petti to get them. So cute and since mine is younger its even cheaper!!

LOVE this set. We're really into Punzel around here. I assume this is the Insa skirt. I just ordered my book, so I haven't gotten my pattern yet, but I was looking at some other tuts and see that you can add elastic between each top panel?? Is this right. And it doesn't look like you do this, so obviously you don't have to??

Thanks!

I am heading to the world very very soon! I am of course super excited. I was able to place an order with Hobby Lobby (they ship to the Cayman's ) so I will not have to be Fabric deprived any more.....and I can get started on DD customs!

My question is has anyone ever been over to the Jo Ann's Fabric in Kissimmee? Its on West Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy? I have already confirmed a 1/2 day of my trip especially for Fabric/supply shopping. Goggled mapped the driving directions and I am ready to go....need to make a list... If you've been how did it compare to your local Jo Anns how was the Fabric selection?

Oh..one more thing. I am going to go with an Embrodery Machine for my mothers day gift ( and a side cutter presserfoot for my current sewing machine) and I am looking for suggested models. I have a Brother Sewing Machine. Which machines do you guys have? Do you love it and why?

One thing I do want is to be able to download files to the machine so I can do those cute Disney and other appliques..

What supplies do I absolutly need when I start doing embrodery..I keep reading about stabalizors and I am so lost...but excited

Wow that was alot ....

thanks!

I have been in that store several times. They have VERY little character fabric. It is a rather small store with only one cutting counter. Since we moved that is my "regular" store. But when I go "fabric shopping" I travel a bit farther to the nicer Joanns and the quilt fabric shop. The Kissimmee Joann's will do in a pinch (but let me know if you want directions to the nicer store-it is not hard to get to from WDW)

Thanks! I knew someone here would be able to help. I would like directions please.

We are not going to have a car at the moment we will travel via taxi. However if the cab ride will be too long/expensive i may concider renting a car for the day.

One thing I do want is to be able to download files to the machine so I can do those cute Disney and other appliques..

What supplies do I absolutly need when I start doing embrodery..I keep reading about stabalizors and I am so lost...but excited

Wow that was alot ....

thanks!

I have a Brother PE770. Love it. Even when we were having a disagreement, I still loved it! Download patterns from your computer to a thumb drive and put it in the machine and away you go!

I would say you need a variety of stabilizers. It is like thread, you can never have too much!

Thanks! I knew someone here would be able to help. I would like directions please.

We are not going to have a car at the moment we will travel via taxi. However if the cab ride will be too long/expensive i may concider renting a car for the day.

RENT A CAR!!!! Cab fare will be outrageous!!!!!!

You should be able to rent a car for the day for MUCH less than cab fare.
