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

[sue_go_disney]

I finished the baby bubble romper today. I think it turned out very cute. I hope dd's teacher likes it.

The only thing that I had to buy was some of that tape with the snaps on it. That's so much easier than individual snaps or buttons!

I like it! I have the Carly Bubble Romper partially sewn for a boy, but its just not the same as for a girl! I love the frilly "sleeves".

I must get some of that snap tape, though! Thanks for the tip!

 

[Meshell2002]

Love the training pants! Is that a pattern or did you make those on your own?

Its a downloadable pattern called Trimsie Trainers

I've made other trainers and diapers and these are my favorite. DD is very petite and the low rise was perfect for her.

 

[dianemom2]

Cute! my DD is now too big for those bubbles, but I miss them. I LOVE snap tape for clothing....but if you need lots of snaps on something thicker than clothing....a press is the way to go! I didn't know about them until I started sewing diapers.....once I got a press I wanted to put snaps on everything! Here are some cloth training pants I made for DD a while back.....DS jedi boots had snaps holding them on in the back

The training pants are very cute. Where do you get the snap press and those pretty colored snaps?

 

[DMGeurts]

Do you have a pattern for an ironing board cover? I could use that too!

Anita... I was wondering what happened to you on FB... I got a strange email from you while I was in The Netherlands, and I deleted it because it wasn't something you would say or do. I will try to friend you again. I've heard that FB is a pain if your acct. gets hacked... do you know how they got into yours?

Oh and about the ironing board cover... LOL I don't have a pattern, but I've found a couple of tutorials online:
http://33stitches.blogspot.com/2010/03/as-promised.html
http://u-handbag.typepad.com/uhandblog/2008/01/super-easy-iron.html
So I was hoping to use these to get a good start on mine.

The best part of this project was that I was able to make the whole thing with leftover fabric from other projects! The only thing that I had to buy was some of that tape with the snaps on it. That's so much easier than individual snaps or buttons!

Absolutely adorable!! Love the little bubble rompers... that's the next pattern I am getting!

Okay, here is my first try at posting a photo. These are the money cuffs I made. Don't look to close at the stitching

I found the instructions at http://www.oneshetwoshe.com/2010/09/lunch-money-cuff-tutorial-she-christie.html

Hopefully all my copying and pasting has worked!

Awesome... I could have used this last week when we were in Europe... LOL Great job!

Cute! my DD is now too big for those bubbles, but I miss them. I LOVE snap tape for clothing....but if you need lots of snaps on something thicker than clothing....a press is the way to go! I didn't know about them until I started sewing diapers.....once I got a press I wanted to put snaps on everything! Here are some cloth training pants I made for DD a while back.....DS jedi boots had snaps holding them on in the back

OK - so tell me more about this snap press... where do I get one? And where do you get these awesome snaps you have here?? They look so nice!

So, I created an album of our trip to Europe - if you are interested in looking.

My 42 pillow cases shipped to GKTW today...

Tose look great! How does the pillowcase thing work with GKTW? I'd be interested in helping out.

I hope everyone is doing well. I have been swamped with customs and have not had much time to post. Here are a few things I did recently . ..

WOW! That was a lot of pictures! Sorry!!

LOVE this one!

Shoot! My computer keeps freezing up and I lost the multi-quote I had ready. I finished the baby bubble romper today. I did it in a size 3 months. I think it turned out very cute. I hope dd's teacher likes it.

For 3lilpirates this is one of CarlaC's patterns on Youcanmakethis. I found it fairly easy to sew. If you pick up some cute Disney fabrics, it would be perfect for your little girl. Joann's happens to have all their character fabric on sale for 40% off this week. Here are a couple of pictures:

That turned out so cute! She is going to love it. . I love it when you get to use left over fabric. that's what I've done for the 3 dresses I've made DD lately.

QUESTION

I am curious to know if anyone on here has made a Jedi robe? I made an attempt to make one but am finding it isn't flowing well nor full enough. Any suggestions on what type of fabric to use or a pattern to follow? Thanks so much for your help!!

Have you thought to use horsehair braid? It's used mostly in the hem of dresses to fluff it out some. You can find it in the notions area. I just made a belle skirt for kirsta and I put boning in the hem. I'll see who well that works when we get home from Disney.

Question:
So I just bought the Portrait Peasant pattern from YCMT and I'm going to make a a top for my niece. I want it to be long so that it goes past her hips but not so long that it looks like I tried to make a dress and made it too short. (I would just hold it up to my niece but she lives in South Dakota and I'm down here in Missouri!)
So my question: does anybody have a picture or two of the top (they call it the elongated bodice) cut on the third cutting line modeled on a kid? I just want to see where the hem hits them.
I know there are measurements given on the pattern, but I'm more of a visual person. Thanks a bunch!!
Vicki

I don't think the Peasant gives a pattern for the bottom. Doesn't it just have you measure the length you want or need? I'd ask them to measure your neice for you. I haven't done the elongated bodice. Kirsta likes the tunic length, and I put points on the sides. Well, the sides are longer. That seemed to be a style I was seeing alot of on the tunics around here.

Hello! I'm completely new to disboutiquers and you have really inspired me! I just had my first girl after three boys and I'm really excited about sewing some stuff for her! We are going to WDW in Septembeer and I'd like to have her some cute princess and Minnie outfits. I've had a hard time finding anything in baby sizes. Does anyone have any baby girl outfit ideas? I guesstimate she'll be about size 6-9 months by then.
Thanks!

Waiting to see what you've come up with! Welcome.

Now the next task is to learn to multi-quote!!!

That's easy. In the lower right corner, you see 3 boxes, the middle one " is the multi quote. Just click on that for each message you want to answer. At the end you hit post, and you'll see each message in reply.

Anita...

I don't know about anyone else, but I enjoyed looking at them.

I vaguely remember that someone mentioned working with insulated fabric...not sure tho....

If you have, did it work, was it hard to work with, was it easy to find?

Appreciate any input!

It's just like working with a thin batting.

Here are some dresses I made my girls a few weeks ago. They love the aprons!

Beautiful dresses -- love the fabrics! And I really like the aprons on them -- I'm a big apron fan and love putting it on a Portrait Peasant, but have yet to have seen one on a SS like yours!

Thanks for letting me know about the counter. It's only one side of the "u" shaped counter that's 16"... the rest are the standard 24" - will it fit on there OK?
D~

24" is perfect -- I thought your entire was room was 15" and was worried. You are now safe to buy one!

Quick question. I'm getting ready to attempt my first hand appliqué. I read the awesome tutorial. I'm still nervous about it, since I don't have an embroidery machine. I noticed on Etsy some people sell iron on appliqué. Can I make an appliqué without putting it onto the shirt? I'm nervous I'll mess up the stitching, and ruin the shirt. Also, what type/brand of shirt works best?

I'll have o post a pic of my third custom dress. DD wore it this weekend and got tons of compliments. It really made Mommy feel good.

I have hand appliqued on thin cotton and then attached it to a t-shirt, but you still have to do the edges on the t-shirt itself (at least that's how I do it). I've had no better luck with one brand vs. another.

I think a Portrait Peasant Minnie dress would be a wonderful choice for an infant.

Adorable! I love that castle applique (just bought some appliques from there today!). How do you cut the applique fabric in tiny areas? I have a good embroidery scissors and just today bought a brand new manicure scissors hoping that will do the trick for tiny spots.

Okay, here is my first try at posting a photo. These are the money cuffs I made. Don't look to close at the stitching

Excellent work! Tricia made some of these not too long ago.

What gorgeous pictures! I love all the architecture and gardens. And the food! I would love to try the banana-chocolate-ice cream pancake ~ my kind of breakfast! Love Myrthe's flowers and adore the purple shoes. Ugh! Why didn't I think of purple shoes for my wedding -- I had some purple in my flowers and purple is my color. I can't believe you only got one pic of the table runner. I hope they adored your gifts. It looks like you all had a fabulus time!

Hooray. It worked. The cuffs look great. That's a project I have to try sometime.

Too cute. It's hard for me to imagine that I may have grandchildren someday and want to make some. Great project!

I haven't looked at the link yet, but this photo has my interest. Can you almost imagine you're back there? Were there any wedding traditions significantly different than ours?

 

[dianemom2]

Adorable! I love that castle applique (just bought some appliques from there today!). How do you cut the applique fabric in tiny areas? I have a good embroidery scissors and just today bought a brand new manicure scissors hoping that will do the trick for tiny spots.

I was quite pleased with how the castle applique stitched out. This was my first puchase from Planetapplique and I am happy. I have a couple of pairs of sharp scissors with the curved tips. They work well for trimming in the tight places. The best pair I have was one that I picked up at Wally World for like $4! They are nice and sharp!

I just finished looking at your pictures. What an amazing trip! You must have had so much fun! The wedding look awesome! Loved the skirt you made for your daughter. It looked so cute on her.

 

[DMGeurts]

Love the pictures. Absolutely fabulous. Looks like a fantastic time. Have to say I love the purple shoes, I want the hot chocolate and was that radishes for breakfast?

LOL Yes, those purple shoes are fantastic... She took a special trip to Rome to buy them.

Yep - that was a bowl of radishes, LOL, they just set out a bunch of leftovers from the night before. I didn't have any radishes for breakfast - but that cherry pound cake... yah that was good. LOL

I don't know about anyone else, but I enjoyed looking at them.

Thanks... I am glad you liked them.

24" is perfect -- I thought your entire was room was 15" and was worried. You are now safe to buy one!

Thanks for the clarification on the counters - you had me worried there for a second.

The banana chocolate icecream pancake was interesting... she made the mistake of melting the icecream before she ate it (I would have done that too) and it turned in to a big chocolate icecream puddle with a pancake floating on top. LOL She said it was delicious, despite being difficult to eat.

I know, I wish I would have thought of the purple shoes too... Myrthe is just adorable in every sence of the word and we are so happy that she is part of our family.

Everyone loved their gifts... Elvi's mom just loved the outfit - she squealed in delight (I was so nervous that she wouldn't like it) and the table settings were a hit... It seemed that everyone loved everything.

I haven't looked at the link yet, but this photo has my interest. Can you almost imagine you're back there? Were there any wedding traditions significantly different than ours?

Yes, I can imagine myself back there... We hope to go back again one day - probably with out the kids.

Well, they were not married in a church - they were married at a city building by a Magestrate (sp?). It was a very beautiful and personal ceremony. It was also very intimate - only about 35 people were invited. After the ceremony, we went back to her parent's house to have cake (served first) then dinner... then they opened gifts in front of everyone. After that, then all of the other people that were invited started to trickle in. I liked how everything was very small and relaxed.

Appearantly, in Europe, two sets of invitiations are mailed out... one for the ceremony and dinner and another completely different invitation for the reception... depending which invitation you get, that's what you are permitted to do. I loved how they opened the gifts right there at the reception, it gave the givers the opportunity to see what the couple received, and it also just made it really personal.

Sorry, I think we were posting at the same time.

Thank you very much... I had so much fun making both skirts - I actually made my skirt too, but I won't have any pictures of it until I get copies of the photographer's photos.

The trip was amazing... the people were amazing... I loved it...

I was packing up the last bit of stuff in my sewing room today and came across this dress that I had cut out but had not gotten around to sewing. SO, rather than pack it as a UFO, I decided to stitch it up. I really love this pattern. I made this one as a maxi dress.

OMGoodness!!!! Fabulous pictures!!!!! Everything is just amazing! And you're right, LOVE her shoes and that dress! Oh!

And I SO want to find a pattern to make the saddlebags on that bike towards the end of the album ... I need saddlebags like that for my bike and all the ones I've seen are BORING Just think what fabulous saddlebags one could make!

 

[PurpleEars]

I made my DD a Memorial Day/4th of July/Labor Day ruffle bubble. I made my boys shirts too but don't have a pic of them yet. Next up for me is a Vida for Animal Kingdom. I have the fabric and design I want to use. I just have to find some free time to get started on it

Very cute (both the model and the bubble)!

I FINALLY have something to share after lurking for several weeks- WOO HOO!

First up is a quilt I made on behalf of Tyler's Kindergarten class for their teacher as a baby shower craft/gift. The kids had a baby book shower for their teacher and colored the quilt blocks as the craft, and then I took them home and quickly pieced them together with some other fabrics. I only had a week to work on it, I'm still in shock I got it done in time...

Sorry for all the pictures, but I wanted to show the process a little...

the blocks the kids made (thank you Nini for the fabric marker suggestion, they worked GREAT!)

The quilt completed

Tyler pointing out the "hidden butterflies" I stitched on the non-colored blocks (this is the back of the quilt)

And Tyler and his teacher, I think she liked it. She told me she's quitting to stay home with the baby, so I think this class was a bit more special than others being this is the last class for her for a while...

And my other task at hand completed in the wee hours of last night into this morning...

Ryan's bowling shirt (it's missing the bottom button, because he wanted to try it on before I got done sewing the last button on)

The back view with Heather's awesome McQueen design!!

I've just gotta say although it's been said several times before...Carla C is an amazing pattern writer! The first time I used this pattern, I didn't really read directions, and just sort of followed pictures. That was dumb and I made several mistakes and wasted fabric and time, lesson learned. I took my time with this shirt, read every single word of her directions (some more than once) and I'm so happy with how this shirt came out. I think there isn't a single thing on it that I would change. I'm extremely critical of my work, so that's saying a lot! I think Great Grandma woulda been proud of this one too. I wish I still had her here to sew with me.

Oh well, time for bed! Not staying up till 2 am today folks!

That is a wonderful quilt you did for the teacher. I am sure she will treasure it. Good job on the bowling shirt too.

Oh and I found a sweet deal for a used Brother Duetta on Ebay and it arrives this week. I can't believe the deal I got and that DH said to go ahead and get it.

Congrats on your new machine. I look forward to seeing what you made with it.

We survived our first family trip to Europe!
I woke in The Netherlands yesterday with a major chest cold... I can barely talk today. I don't feel horrible - just can't speak... so dh is making me rest all day.

D~

Welcome back! I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Hopefully you will recover quickly!

I love everything that has been psted lately! I have been keeping an eye on everything but not posting much. I need to start sewing for our Sept. trip. I have a few ideas but hae not started working yet. I vow to start earlier this year!

Here are some dresses I made my girls a few weeks ago. They love the aprons!

Has anyone made a dress like this with a lining that has tulle on the bottom for some fluff? Do you think it would be too hot for Disney? Thanks!

The dresses look beautiful. I do not have any suggestions for your question. Sorry!

You can absolutely CASE my idea!

Thanks. I don't know if I will for sure, but it is good to know that I have one more idea to play with!

For 3lilpirates this is one of CarlaC's patterns on Youcanmakethis. I found it fairly easy to sew. If you pick up some cute Disney fabrics, it would be perfect for your little girl. Joann's happens to have all their character fabric on sale for 40% off this week. Here are a couple of pictures:

Beautiful pics. Those purple shoes were absolutely breathtaking. I'm not a high heels kind of girl but I could see that changing if I had a pair of those.
