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

[Miz Diz]

New to the thread and trying to get inspired to make something for are pretty princess to wear at the Star Wars Weekend. Her brother is an over the top fan and has too much to choose from. I really wanted to make a twirl skirt, has anyone here transformed boys pj bottoms into a skirt??

I am making a shirt with a storm trooper Donald on it.

They sold some virtual lemonade to Corey the first day they were going to have the stand open, because Brian hadn't mowed yet! Corey felt so bad for them, he bought 5 virtual cups!



I've always found that the Simply Sweet runs a little big actually. It can be a little difficult to get on, but once I get it on my girls,(I've found that stepping into it, instead of going over their heads often works better) it has plenty of room. . Actually, I often put elastic under the arms to tighten it up a bit. Were you going with measurements or their regular size? The serger could be part of the problem, but I wonder if the pattern printed out wrong?

That is sooo sweet about the lemonade. I also saw where your girls are donating some of their lemonade money for your sil. You have some awesome kids! Probably because they have such an awesome mom! Thank you for always replying and giving advice when I post!

I thought I had read the Simply Sweet ran big. I went with size 6, which is what I do on the stripwork jumper. I wish I had tried to have her step into it before I ripped the side stitches out. It actually does not look bad with the coordinating fabric on the side, but it is taking me more time. We are leaving tomorrow and I am trying to finish this shirt for the trip. It has Storm Trooper Donald on it. dd loves star wars and I wanted to do something girly for her, but yet have the character she wanted.

I don't remember seeing this before. I really think it's gorgeous.

I am new to this site and how completely fallen in love with everyone's beautiful creations!! You are all so very talented!! You have inspired me to pick up sewing again! I haven't sewed anything since highschool, so it will quite the experience!! My daughter is very excited for mommy to make her a dress, so hopefully it will turn out!! Thanks to all of you for bringing me back to this hobby!!

Welcome!! Will be looking forward to what you come up with.

 

[DisneyLaura]

Great things! Too much to comment on everything. A couple of pages back someone posted they made a T shirt dress for their DD. Where can I find that pattern. I would love to make some of those for my DD5.

So much great stuff posted lately!

Here's some things I did recently for a Big Give.

 

[Jaylin]

Love all your outfits! I just did Darth Goofy shirts for my dd and ds. We are leaving tomorrow. I had a problem where the boxer shorts stitch out - fabric hanging out. That cutting stitch line needed to be moved over. I also bought Storm Trooper Donald and did not like the way it stitched out. Did you have any issues?

I own & have stitched out both of those and haven't had any problems. I'm sorry to hear that yours didn't go so well....are they ok enough to wear, or did you have to scrap them?

I did not have to scrap. My complaint with the Goofy is that the cutting guide stitch goes over into the body that is black and I used a red outline, so the red shows in the black. The next time I did it, I used black, but at the bottom of the boxers, there is black stitching showing in the red. I am a perfectionist, so it drives me crazy. My dh says it looks ok, though. On the Donald, you have to get really close to that cut guide stitch, or the fabric is fraying on the other side of the satin stitch. I thought I was close enough, but was not. It does not look really bad. I did not like the order that she had some of the things on Donald stitch out, so I changed it in my software, so that I didn't have to take the hoop off the machine as much and saved me some cutting time.

It could be that we did not get it from the same person. I did not buy mine off etsy. The person I bought mine from does not have an etsy shop. I know there are several shops that have similar poses/characters.

 

[VBAndrea]

WTMTQ and I'm very behind.

Jaylin I loved seeing all of your outfits! Awesome job!

Wendy, I particularly love your Audrey skirts and "Cute" shirts.

Here are three shirts I did last week for dd. I really want to get some done for ds but needed to do another thread order and despite ordering on Monday it's not here yet! Grrrrr! My shirts I ordered yesterday from Jiffy arrived today. My last Marathon order took just two days so i'm a bit miffed.

Anyway, up for your viewing pleasure are three horse shirts. The first is an applique, the next is a loose fill and the last is a full fill. I have tons more horse patterns to do after this, but haven't had much time this week to get anything done. My rule is all my laundry and ironing must be done before sewing and that just hasn't happened this week. And sorry, I always forget to take pics while dd is wearing them so this is all you get.

And sorry if the photos are different sizes -- photobucket decided to stop working properly for me again.

Thank you! Just ordered the Simply Sweet to make some dresses for my girls to wear on our trip!

Does anyone know if there is a coupon code on YCMT right now? I accidently deleted my latest email from them

 

[billwendy]

I just made my first Simply Sweet. It is tight on dd. I finished the bodice and put it over dd's head to see how long I wanted to make the ruffle and I could barely get it on her. Anyone else think it was small? Or did I just not cut good or sewed too far into the seam allowance? I serged all the seams and the serging is bigger than 1/4 inch, but I do this on the stripwork jumper and have not had any issues. I just made the stripwork jumper last week.

I took apart one of the sides and added 2 inches of coordinating fabric to expand it. I have not done the other side yet, but I tried it on dd again and it is still tight. Hopefully when I add 2 inches to the other side it will be better. I am doing the shirt - longer bodice, with ruffle on the bottom, and the elastic ruffle straps. Next time, I'm going to try the halter top

I wonder if your printer was set to page scaling "none" so that the inch square measures an inch. Sometimes my program switches it on me and I dont even know it - and then it prints out too small!!!!!

Oooh, cant wait to see what you make!!

Andrea - LOVE THE HORSES!!! Elizabeth would LOVE the first one especially!

Shannon - did you see Perrin and his bro and sis in their outfits -

 

[WyomingMomof6]

Andrea, LOVE those horse designs. My little cowgirl would love those.

Wendy, I did see them! I wish I had time to redo Perrin's shirt-Sully was not centered well at all. And I know I told you on facebook but I absolutely love those Patriotic outfits!

SO so so many amazing things over the last couple weeks! I've looked at them all, just TMTQ! I especially loved the Test Track outfits and the smocked heirloom dress and bonnet!

That cutting stitch line needed to be moved over. I also bought Storm Trooper Donald and did not like the way it stitched out. Did you have any issues?

Would you be willing to share whose design it was you had trouble with? I'm looking at similar SW Mickey etc. designs from "lotsofappliques" on etsy and "digitalbydesign"? If anyone else has feedback on either digitizer, I'd appreciate it! I'm totally new at this!

Also would you be willing to share your Leia Minnie with me, too?

I need a fifth SW character. I'll be doing Trooper Donald, Princess Minnie, Jedi Mickey, and Darth Goofy. Is R2-MK (red, black, gold R2 unit with Mickey ears) available as an applique anywhere?

I finished up another baby carrier for dh to use. He's not thrilled with the comfort factor of it, but I think he just needs to get used to it. We have three under 4, so handsfree walking is pretty handy! This one was a former bedsheet (with two layers of twill and an inner support system of seatbelt webbing, lest anyone worry it's only a sheet ):

I also made this pinafore and diaper cover (Little Lizard King) for dd for Memorial Day, 4th, etc. I was testing the pattern because I plan to make one for her from Peter Pan fabric for our trip.

Regards,
C.

I absolutely, positively love the Monster dress -- everything else is wonderful, too, but the dress just strikes me.

What is you speak of??? I'm not familiar with that ritual.

Very nice and what a great variety. I'm glad I copied how you said you hoop t-shirts, because even the full fill looks perfect.

The baby back carrier is great (I may have the same sheet set), but I really, really like your daughter on her stomach. Can't remember what she was wearing but the face is precious.

 

[cogero]

Yeah I actually sewed something. I made DD a quick shirt with that pre-smocked fabric. She loves it and it took all of 5 minutes.

I need to change the table I am using for sewing since I have a flimsy folding table. I have a more solidly built older one I need to move around. I was using an old dining room table but it get trying to open.

Hoping I can get the table situation figured out tomorrow and start cleaning and sewing again.

 

[VBAndrea]

Very nice and what a great variety. I'm glad I copied how you said you hoop t-shirts, because even the full fill looks perfect.

Just to warn you, when that shirt comes out of the wash it looks horrible. I was But once I iron it it looks like it does on the hanger, and once it's on dd it looks even better. So don't get too scared if you do a fill and it comes out the dryer looking like crap -- oh wait, you don't do so you should have nothing to worry about

And FYI the horse fill was 27,000 some stitches and I have a train one that is over 60,000!!!! At least that will be done on a boxy t in size large for my ds so I woun't have to babysit it so diligently. He's actually a size M but a large looks OK on him so if I'm doing that many stitches it's going to be a t that lasts!

QUESTION
I hear people mentioning Digital by Design but I can't find it on the internet or etsy. Could someone please post a link. Thank you kindly!

I had a similar complaint with my Darth Goofy - the tack down stitching on the cape goes further into the fabric than the satin stitch does. Since I always do my tack downs in white and the cape is black, it was ridiculously obvious when it was finished. I can't remember which designer I bought it from though.

I love this one, it reminds me of a carousel horse. DD would love it!

Cute! I love the pinafore and ruffly diaper cover - I am such a sucker for ruffly bums. Ruffly butt tights were one of the first things I bought my daughter lol.

I don't have the link offhand but she's on facebook and searchable with the DigitalByDesign name.

The best way to get super twirl is to do patchwork, instead of strips. If you want the strips to be twirlier (if that is a word) double the width of the bottom compared to the top. Does that make sense? So if you want the strips 4in wide, the bottom would be 8 in wide.

Like this:

For a patchwork, just double everything. If the waist is 22in, the first row would be 44in then ruffled, the second row would be 88in the ruffled and attached and the last row would be 176in....

Like this:

Or just doubled but not patchwork:

I hope that make sense! I usually make dress, since my daughter loves them, but I would do a yoke so the layers are uniform. So just double from the yoke size...

That makes perfect sense. Thanks a million! I might make one of each with different red, black, and yellow fabrics for the minnie look. They are for two sisters.

She had a good sale last week. 1/2 off on all her designs. I spent quite a bit more than I should have! But I love collecting designs. At least my collection doesn't take up too much space and it doesn't need to be dusted

Thank you! I'd had that dress in my mind for a while. I was just waiting for a family that liked Monsters Inc.!

Here are some baby gifts that I finally got done. I actually have another Marie stashed somewhere to go with the second onesie, I just can't find it!

These are not for twins-two separate families although I have a friend whose daughter is having twin girls and I'm tempted to send them to her instead, lol.
