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

[Diz-Mommy]

Hmpf! No dealer in my state! I'm hoping to get my machine as a gift today but I didn't see any charges to dh's Visa nor any large Paypal sums deducted so I'm skeptical.

That's a bummer!! If you want, I can pick you up some. I'll have to call the sewing shop to see how much they are since it's been a while since I've been there. I think they are something like $5 a spool.

Hope your machine comes today!! What a fun Mother's Day!


Happy Mother's Day to all!!

 

[ireland_nicole]

Don't change anything! It's perfect!

Welcome! I can't wait to see your creations!



I am sorry to hear the job fell through. At least you know not to deal with this family anymore!



I like the Ariel one the best too! Good job on all of them!



Both dresses look beautiful!



Looks like you have been busy. You did a good job on all of them.



Welcome! I really like your baby carrier!

I just want to say this to of all you in a mothering role: Happy Mother's Day! It's a tough job and I know you all do the best job you can. I hope your families will show you their appreciation today!

QUESTION

I need your honest opinion on this dress. I made it for our August trip but I don't know if it is too "loud"!

It's the new Jamie dress pattern. I really like how it cinches my waist (it makes me look quite slim!) I just don't know if I overdid the Minnie dots or not. I am debating if I should switch the straps to black instead of the Minnie dots. Sometimes what I envisioned in my head just don't quite work out the way they should!

OOooh - I love it and I want one!!! Totally want one! Its awesome!

D: I haven't gotten my Mother's Day gift yet! My ds stayed overnight at my sister's so I think dh wanted him to be home (I'm picking him up around noon)and dh is napping now . Hopefully dh will wake up when I return with ds!

D~ <---- stalking the thread to see if Andrea got her machine yet...

These dresses turned out so cute! I just love the surf board fabric you used on the Feliz... can I ask where you found it???

I found it on ebay, but it was the last piece they had. The fabric is, ALEXANDER HENRY 1950'S BUTTER ALOHA FLOWERS SURFS UP

I haven't actually seen it anywhere before

I don't think it's loud at all -- I LOVE it! I think it would look good with black straps as well, but I like it just the same with the Minnie dot straps. I would leave it just as it is. It's really pretty and very much my style!

D~ <---- stalking the thread to see if Andrea got her machine yet...

You can quit stalking now. I got my presents as soon as ds arrived home. Let's see, first I got a potted petunia (pink -- my dd picked it out), then I got a hanging tomato planter b/c the squirrels ate my tomatoes last year, and then.........................I got a really big box! Care to guess what was inside? It's still in the box. I'm cleaning and rearranging my sewing room to make space for it! I'm also scared to get it out of the box! I am hoping to try something on it by tomorrow, but we shall see. I really am terrified of it now that I own it!

I am kind of funny about the shirt thing! I can wear them again to a different place, as in cruise, world and land without much issue. I can wear a couple on "off" days as long as I haven't worn them there before. I LOVE making new shirts but I seem to never have enough time and we have SO many shirts! Of course, if I would sell them it would help clean things out but I am kind of attached to most items!! The few outfits I sold of Dallas' I totally regret!

A couple of weeks ago I sold all my daughter's dresses from our last trip. They were too small and she won't wear dresses anymore...but I regretted it as soon as I left the post office!

Hubby thought we were going to wear a few of the shirts again this year...but I decided nope. Need new shirts, this is for a new trip!

I don't think this one has any boning:
http://knittedgems.com/2010/01/04/sewing-tutorial-nursing-cover/

I can't believe I looked at about 25 tuts and this is the only one I could find without boning. I agree with Marianne though -- I think it's easier to nurse discreetly without a cover!


/QUOTE]

Thanks...I never used a cover up with any of my three that I nursed, but she said she wanted one. So, I aim to please! I am just hoping she carries this little guy long enough for me to finish up everything. She has already carried him longer than any of her other kiddoes...and she isn't due until August!

I'm hoping I can find some of the netting she is talking about. So far everything I have found is not what she wants. I may end up being made without the netting and without boning.


Hmmm...thought I had a couple more quotes, but I guess not!

I love the adult Minnie Mouse dress...that is exactly what I was thinking about for me...

I have a busy day ahead of me to morrow. We are entering the last 2 weeks of school, and I am still working on teacher gifts! I have three customer dresses, and I have to finish up the piecing on the baby quilt and start on the window treatments and all the other stuff we are making. And I have a sewing class tomorrow. I think I would love to go to bed right now so I can rest up for it!

Everything is great! I love the kitty fabric -- my dd would like it. She has similar kitties on a skirt I made her, but a differnt color palette. I can't wait

Thank you!!

Great outfits. Love the Disney one. For your upcoming trip!

Thanks!!

Jamie pattern you say...must go download that now. I think it looks fantastic!! I am so going to CASE this idea off of you. My trip is in August so I might do a lighter color but def. stealing the minnie dot idea!!

 

[chellewashere]

I have got to try to make the weighted blanket. That really looks adorable and all she keeps asking for right now is a blanket. Fabulous

 

[chellewashere]

OK my first Vida. Not that difficult thanks to the great tutorial by Steph (I think that you real name )

the photos I took at home came out awful so this is us on my Mommy day brunch!!

Oooh... is it the PE770???? I hope so!!! I can't wait until you post pics. I was at the Brother store yesterday, and they had the Innovis (not sure which one - probably the most expensive one) sitting out front and center... I couldn't believe how huge it was! I am so excited for you Andrea - I sure you will do great with it... I sure hope you continue to do your really big hand appliques though.

This turned out so cute! And I love all the photos of you with your dd - how precious! I love your dress too.

[livndisney]

I keep thinking I will sell their outfits after our trip, but I am afraid I have become too attached to them and will probably just hold on to them as souveniers.

I have said this for years!!! But I am going to do it this time, I need the closet space LOL. I am going to list and sell some of the ones my dd has outgrown. I have them sorted, I need to iron them and take pics. But I am going to do it.


I think I can, I think I can

Aww thank you. My dress is a cheater from Kohls. I think I might have worked up enough courage in myself to try the Insla (sp) next. And making this made me realize I really need to get the hubby to get me at least a 5x7 capable machine

 

[cogero]

Congrats Andrea can't wait to see what you do.

Well those space saver bags work great for storing things

 

[ivey_family]

Thank you for all the kind words on my baby carrier (and baby!) and the welcome!

LOVE that Minnie Dress! So pretty! I've got a top in a very similar style in mind for my first applique project.

I have a pattern/design question. I've seen several mentions along the lines of "This is the Feliz." or "I made this from the Jaime pattern." Is there any kind of list of the most commonly used pattern styles?

(I know there is a huge list of links at the start of the thread. I've only just started wading through that. )

C.

Nice mommy and daugther photos! You did a great job on her dress! I like your dress too.

Okay I love this I may need to do something similar I Like it that much. The only thing I would do different for me is make the bottome ruffle black but that is just me because I have large calves LOL. Otherwise I adore it.

Don't change anything! It's perfect!

OOooh - I love it and I want one!!! Totally want one! Its awesome!

Awww thanks everyone! Honestly I had this idea since about the first time I saw pictures of the Jamie/Marissa dresses. I guess I just wasn't sure if I can pull off a Minnie inspired dress as an adult. I am excited that someone want to CASE this idea! You have no idea how much it means to me to have someone here say that!

I am still debating if I should do a few more Disney character inspired outfits for this trip...

Andrea - Congrats on your new machine! I can't wait to see what you create with it!

C. - I am not sure if we have a list of commonly used dress styles. Perhaps it would be a good idea! I think people tag their pictures with the pattern name in group photobucket account, though I still haven't posted any of mine over there yet. The Jamie dress is a recent SisBoom pattern by our favourite pattern maker, CarlaC. It's available on youcanmakethis.com (plus a few other places I am sure). The Feliz is a pattern from the Making Clothes Kids Love book.

chellewashere, cogero - It looks like we may be down at the World at around the same time. Perhaps you will get to see the dress in action! I am a little bit worried about black in August, but it is lightweight cotton so we'll see how that goes.

I absolutely love that dress. Personally, I wouldn't change it. It isn't any more over the top than the t-shirts I see every trip!

Happy Mothers Day! So exciting, I got mine a year ago this past March. It's just so much fun! I hope you love it as much as I love mine!!!!!

Thanks VBAndrea for the links to the pillowcase dresses.

I want to try my (very out of practice) hand at one.
