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

[ellenbenny]

Got a couple of things to share today. First up the Bags for the end of year gifts for Tyler's teachers.

Than an Ottobre shirt I made for Tyler (he is grown too far out of Carla's Bowling shirt for me to continue to use it)

Here is a picture with good colours:

and then here is a modeled pic, but the lighting is terrible.

He loves the shirt, and of course had a big part of designing it, but just hates having his picture taken.

I love the bag and the shirt, and especially the school fabric, hadn't seen that one before.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Cars outfit!!!

And that stash of fabric! Lucky you!!!!

There's just so much I want to comment on, but I'm three pages behind and my crazy monkeys are making me INSANE!

I just had to jump on here and share though ... today we went to this fabric store in Cranston that we didn't know existed until I did an online search last week ... It's called Just Fabrics and IT IS AMAZING!!!!

They had lots of Disney prints I've only seen in high priced auctions online ... and all for around $4.00 a yard!!!! They had an entire shelf of Wizard of Oz prints (my BFF is doing a Wicked! party for her soon to be 5 year old) ... all kinds of fabulous stuff!!!! If I'd had more time I could have done some SERIOUS damage!!!! As it was, I spent more than I'd planned ...

Here's what I got:

BFF's fabrics (because I called her and took lots of pictures LOL):

Pink Mickey, Alice in Wonderland fabrics (3 different ones - and she had others too!):

Star Wars (these were only $4.00 a yard!!!!!!) and 3 different Mickeys:

Close ups:

So that's all I bought there... but I just had to share that I've gone a little fabric crazy since I got here...
Here are my 1/4 yard pieces of Princess fabrics:

Here are the rest of my smaller cuts of Disney prints:

And here is a pattern book I bought (with a 50% off coupon at Joanns!):

Has anyone else bought and used this??? I'm interested to see what you think of it if you have

WOW, great fabric finds.... jealous!! Although I REALLY don't need any more fabric, lol!

OH wow...I haven't been on here since Friday. I am about 12 pages behind. I have been working really hard on my DDs baby bedding for my grandson but had to stop and get a quilt made for a cousin that is due in a couple weeks. I was hoping to get it to her by her shower (she is in another state) but didn't quite get it done. She received it yesterday and called to say she loved it. Made my day. So, here is the quilt (several shots of it) along with a cute little burp cloth to match (why you need a burp cloth to match your quilt...I have no idea )

I made the turtle on the front and the label on the back (except for my name) with my embroidery machine. I was so happy I could do this.

And a shot of front and back (flipped over) with the burp cloth:

Going back to catch up on the last 12 pages or so now.

Love the quilt, great job!!

That turned out beautiful! Bridget will love it -- I LOVE it!

Great totes -- the teachers should love them. My tutor still raves about the one I gave her for Teacher Appreciation Day. And I love the shirt you did for ds!

I can't comment on the book b/c I've never seen it, but OMG on your fabric finds!!!!!! You have some seriously hard to find items!!!!! Where is Cranston? Is it near Charlotte? It's a six hour drive for me to Charlotte but may be worth it one of these days! ETA: Oh crap -- I remember you are in RI for a bit. I know wher Cranston is. That's a much longer drive for me, but if I ever need to go check on our house up there I must stock up on fabric!

Absolutely fabulous and I happen to love the coordinating burp cloth -- I think it's an extra special touch!

Not Disney related but I just know y'all will understand my excitement over this... My mother & I are in the process of clearing out about 50 years' worth of clutter from my grandmother's house, and I came home today with all of this:

So I have 10 more boxes' worth of treasure hunting awaiting me this weekend, and I wasn't even back home when my mom was calling my cell to tell me that the "mystery dresser" that we'd unearthed in the basement was full of fabric too!

Amazing! I cannot wait to see what you do with it all.

She will be able to wear the skirt two different ways.

Here is the first way...

Thanks for looking,
Jeana

Super job. Love the peek a boo! And she's a doll! I have a Cars skirt for my DD in the works as well!

Too cute! I'll be working on a Cars set for my DD too.

WOW! Not only is that an amazing find, the sentimental value is priceless.

Beautiful job! I love the colors you chose and the ribbon bow!

Can you say J E A L O U S????? I haven't seen half of that fabric! I am drooling over here! You're so lucky!

This is a beautiful gift. Your cousin is a very lucky Mommy to be!

 

[Diz-Mommy]

Thank you all so much! The Tank is from Old Navy. Isn't it adorable? I'm so mad at myself for not buying them out. LOL! I can't find them online either. In fact I'm so upset I'm headed there now to stock up.

Well my DD woke up and was exited as can be. She couldn't wait to get into it first thing this morning. I didn't complain though cause it gave me a chance for a mini photo session!

Here she is my groggy eyed little model...

She can't wait to wear it to the store to go buy more tanks!

Jeana

I love it!! I chose that same cars fabric for bowling shirts for my boys and I've been trying to figure out something coordinating to make for my little girl too! CUTE CUTE CUTE!! I might have to CASE this!

[Dustykins]

Such great stuff, way too much to quote!!

Okay girlies, I need a little help. I *swear* I saw someone post a Vida made with the Thomas Kinkade Snow White panel, (like the big Snow White square was the apron part) but I can't find it anywhere. I was actually by-passing the fabric department at Wal-mart (such restraint) and there on the endcap was a display of most of the princess fabrics from the Thomas Kinkade Disney line (Cinderella, Snow White, Tiana) plus some of the Bambi set including a bunch of the coordinates like the gate scroll, leaves and stars in a bunch of colors). I bought a bunch! So....I *need* to find that Snow White dress so I can see how it was done! Anyone know where it was?

We've been twice in October (never been at another time) and both times we had very hot days and one day it was very cold (sweatshirt/pants day)... most days were mild with capris and tshirts. I think our one very cold day was not the norm for that time of year - and we certainly were not prepared... but I would have those things with just in case you need them once. Honestly, it's a very nice time of the year to go. I think your plan for mostly dresses and shorts is a good one... maybe sneak in a pair of easy fit capris or something if you can???



Welcome!!! It's nice to see so many new faces lately.

D~

Thanks for the tip. . That's what I was thinking.

I have a machine embroidery question. I am going to be able to use my Aunts machine to do some embroidery this summer!! Once I find out what kind of machine she has, how would I go about getting some designs off Etsy? Could I do that and somehow take them on a thumb drive to her house (she is 18 hours away)? can you recommend some good ones to check into? PM me if you need to.


Love the school bags, turtle baby items and the fantastic fabric/pattern finds!!

Oh my Gosh!!!!! You hit the Mother LOAD!!!! I've never seen half of that stuff before, I love it! I'm a fabric *****, I would be in so much trouble if I lived near you! I keep telling myself that I'm not going to buy any more fabric until I use what I've got! HA HA! Never works!

Oh, and I've given up on the carsear recover........wayyyyyy too much work for what it's worth. Some things are just not worth the time ya know!

 

[RMAMom]

Hi all, I just spent the last hour or so quoting all of your kind remarks to me over the weekend and while trying to edit I erased half of it
I do appreciate your kind words, it's very hard to be away from my babies and I plan to spend the next 80 something days sewing for our trip.

I love the cars outfit that was posted and the quilts and tote bags and especially the fabric finds! What fun to have a new stash of fabric!!

 

[mphalens]

Going to come back later from the laptop and do some major quoting, but I have a question....

Question:

What would be an easy to sew pattern that would be "rock star" for a very small almost three year old girl?
Amber is doing a rock star party for Savannah (Finn's girlfriend) and can't find anything.... I was thinking of making something to surprise her... But I'd have to do it in the next couple of days....

 

[ireland_nicole]

OMG I think I need an intervention- I can't believe what I just did...

so I went to my local quilt store to see if they had any idea when their grinch fabric might be coming in, and lo and behold there it was on the counter having just been delivered. (cue angels singing)- did I mention we'll be at Uni for Grinchmas? Anyhoo, I ran home to design something and as I was looking at my patterns thought, must have ruffles... and came upon the nie nie skirt which I haven't made yet- perfect! Then, I thought; corset top with deco'd front- yes, this could work. Laid out all the fabrics on the cutting counter, and then started telling her how much I needed of each... about 3/4 of the way through I realized this outfit was going to take about 8 yards of really expensive quilters cotton

I can't believe it, I just spent over $80 on fabric for an outfit that my dd was planning to wear once (I can barely breathe, even though My mom actually bought the fabric for DD). I made her a silk dupoini dress last easter and spent less than $40... fwiw, DD will now be wearing it on multiple occasions, and I'm making 1 size up so she'll get at least a year or two more out of it, but holy toledo-

Has anyone else ever done something this insane? Or do I need professional help?

[ireland_nicole]

Popping in with some photos of what I made for my best friend's trip to Disneyworld next month. She had massive heart surgery and was away from her kids in ICU for a month, and is finally healthy. She promised her kids that when she got healthy that they would go to Disney. This has been a long road and I wanted to make a few things to make their trip extra special.

These are for the mom...family minnie head (Heather's) tank, medium rosetta bag, and a tank with heather's princess motif.

This was so much fun for me, and I just can't wait to see them in all of the clothes. I shipped it last week and heard that the box came to them today, they are waiting for their dad to come home to open it!

I had to shorten my quote because of too many pics, but I really love what you made, and know they will appreciate it soo much- and especially the love that went into them!

I just bought instructions for the rosetta bag a couple of weeks ago. I have a bunch of other projects in line before I start on it but I am looking forward to trying it out.

Today I finished two shirts for a customer and another romper for dd's teacher. This same teacher had my older daughter last year and was WONDERFUL to her. Gave her lots of extra time and attention which helped her move ahead to an advanced math class. My older daughter's favorite animal is the flamingo, so I made a flamingo romper for the teacher's baby. Here are a few pictures:

Then I found the cute little socks that match the material when I was at Joanns this morning buying what I needed for the new BG. The BG items are next on my to do list.

So cute! Great find with the matching socks!

Not Disney related but I just know y'all will understand my excitement over this... My mother & I are in the process of clearing out about 50 years' worth of clutter from my grandmother's house, and I came home today with all of this:

This is what I picked out from the first 2 of 12 boxes of assorted fabrics my grandmother stockpiled over the years, intending to sew more when she retired. Sadly she had a stroke a couple years after she retired and lost the ability to sew. I'm sure she'd be happy if she could see me now, using up her stash to make my girls' summer clothes! And the fabrics are so nice, mostly cotton and flannel, mostly 1 and 2 yard lengths, and softer than anything I've ever found at Joanns. Some even still have tags. Can you imagine paying this for fabric? I'd have a dozen boxes too!

Cant wait to see what you make!

Here is what I finished up today. A new set for my "Cars" lovin' little lady to wear when we see the new movie! She was so upset with me today for not having it finished before her bedtime! She is going to be thrilled when she wakes up!

She will be able to wear the skirt two different ways.

Here is the first way...

And here is the surprise second way... I have a feeling it will mostly be worn like this.

Thanks for looking,
Jeana

LOVE THIS!

Here is the blanket I finished for Bridgie's BG. My second attempt at appliqué...

The front is cotton, the back is soft Disney flannel:

Awesome job!

Got a couple of things to share today. First up the Bags for the end of year gifts for Tyler's teachers.

Than an Ottobre shirt I made for Tyler (he is grown too far out of Carla's Bowling shirt for me to continue to use it)

Here is a picture with good colours:

He loves the shirt, and of course had a big part of designing it, but just hates having his picture taken.[/QUOTE]
Love everything! The shirt is fab, my son would love that!

Color me seriously jealous! I've been trying to get a hold of that pink disney christmas fabric for over a year!

OH wow...I haven't been on here since Friday. I am about 12 pages behind. I have been working really hard on my DDs baby bedding for my grandson but had to stop and get a quilt made for a cousin that is due in a couple weeks. I was hoping to get it to her by her shower (she is in another state) but didn't quite get it done. She received it yesterday and called to say she loved it. Made my day. So, here is the quilt (several shots of it) along with a cute little burp cloth to match (why you need a burp cloth to match your quilt...I have no idea )

Absolutely stunning! It's gorgeous!


I had to stop going back, but I also love the rapunzel, the patchwork jean skirt, the jessie dress, the dress from sewing kids love, and everything else- it really is all amazing!

I'd do a hot pink and black tutu, hot pink capri leggings and a black or white t-shirt with a rhinestone applique - maybe a guitar? tutu's don't even require a sewing machine!

 

[mphalens]

Okay - here's part one of my quotes ... my attempt to catch up ...
Part two is going to have to wait a bit, because I was halfway through with this part when I was asked if I "have a minute" ... I can't seem to sit for more than two minutes at a time before someone needs something this week...

I just bought instructions for the rosetta bag a couple of weeks ago. I have a bunch of other projects in line before I start on it but I am looking forward to trying it out.

LOVE this romper!!! I might have to invest in that pattern after we get back from Disney ... it's so cute and I can see how it makes adorable baby gifts!!!

check I found some a few weeks ago....good luck!

I see you're in ATL ... which Walmart? I might have to send a friend on an excursion for me ... the Walmart at home AND the one close to here in RI don't have it ...

Here she is my groggy eyed little model...

She can't wait to wear it to the store to go buy more tanks!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Cars outfit!!! Love the "hidden message" ... and your DD wearing it - LOVE the attitude!!!! She's adorable!!!!!!

Here is the blanket I finished for Bridgie's BG. My second attempt at appliqué...

The front is cotton, the back is soft Disney flannel:

Your SECOND attempt at applique???
The blanket is BEAUTIFUL! and I seriously bow down that it's your second attempt ... my second attempt at applique was WORSE than my first ...

Thanks for all of the compliments, guys! I love the rosetta too...its my favorite. They got their box yesterday and opened with me on the speaker phone and the reaction was priceless! The girls tried everything on instantly and were twirling in the living room and the boy thought the star wars stuff was so cool. Made my WEEK just to hear how happy they were!

It just makes your heart happy, doesn't it? You are a wonderful friend to do that for them ... everything was just wonderful and I'm sure it just lifted them all up to know they have such a special friend ...

Got a couple of things to share today. First up the Bags for the end of year gifts for Tyler's teachers.

Than an Ottobre shirt I made for Tyler (he is grown too far out of Carla's Bowling shirt for me to continue to use it)

Here is a picture with good colours:

He loves the shirt, and of course had a big part of designing it, but just hates having his picture taken.

Love those bags!!! Where did you find the pattern? Easy? Difficult? Great fabric choices!!! I would have loved to get a bag like that when I was teaching!!!

I love the shirt too! Do Ottobre patterns like that require a serger? That's a really cool pattern!

OH wow...I haven't been on here since Friday. I am about 12 pages behind. I have been working really hard on my DDs baby bedding for my grandson but had to stop and get a quilt made for a cousin that is due in a couple weeks. I was hoping to get it to her by her shower (she is in another state) but didn't quite get it done. She received it yesterday and called to say she loved it. Made my day. So, here is the quilt (several shots of it) along with a cute little burp cloth to match (why you need a burp cloth to match your quilt...I have no idea

I made the turtle on the front and the label on the back (except for my name) with my embroidery machine. I was so happy I could do this.


And a shot of front and back (flipped over) with the burp cloth:

Going back to catch up on the last 12 pages or so now.

I keep checking in from my iPad and although I've figured out HOW to multi-quote, it's not the easiest thing to do ... and then my kids won't leave me alone long enough to get on the laptop and quote and comment ... so I find myself struggling to keep up....

I just had to tell you how awesome that quilt and the accessories are!!! I don't dare let my little one see it, because he'd be ALL OVER a quilt like that!!!! Fabulous job!!!!!!!

WENDY ........how are you liking your serger? I finally broke down and ordered one from amazon today.....was it easy to figure out? What kinda thread should I get? I want to have the thread before it gets her. I'm hoping it'll cut down on some hemming time.

Not Disney related but I just know y'all will understand my excitement over this... My mother & I are in the process of clearing out about 50 years' worth of clutter from my grandmother's house, and I came home today with all of this:

This is what I picked out from the first 2 of 12 boxes of assorted fabrics my grandmother stockpiled over the years, intending to sew more when she retired. Sadly she had a stroke a couple years after she retired and lost the ability to sew. I'm sure she'd be happy if she could see me now, using up her stash to make my girls' summer clothes! And the fabrics are so nice, mostly cotton and flannel, mostly 1 and 2 yard lengths, and softer than anything I've ever found at Joanns. Some even still have tags. Can you imagine paying this for fabric? I'd have a dozen boxes too!

So I have 10 more boxes' worth of treasure hunting awaiting me this weekend, and I wasn't even back home when my mom was calling my cell to tell me that the "mystery dresser" that we'd unearthed in the basement was full of fabric too!

That's a lot of fabric! I am sure your grandmother would be very happy if she knew her treasures would be worn by her great-grandchildren.

That is a very cute outfit. You did a great job with it.

That looks awesome. You did a great job with it. I am sure the family will really appreciate this special gift!

Here is a picture with good colours:

and then here is a modeled pic, but the lighting is terrible.

He loves the shirt, and of course had a big part of designing it, but just hates having his picture taken.

The totes look great. The shirt is awesome - it's great to hear that he played a role in designing it too!

I just had to jump on here and share though ... today we went to this fabric store in Cranston that we didn't know existed until I did an online search last week ... It's called Just Fabrics and IT IS AMAZING!!!!

They had lots of Disney prints I've only seen in high priced auctions online ... and all for around $4.00 a yard!!!! They had an entire shelf of Wizard of Oz prints (my BFF is doing a Wicked! party for her soon to be 5 year old) ... all kinds of fabulous stuff!!!! If I'd had more time I could have done some SERIOUS damage!!!! As it was, I spent more than I'd planned ...

Here's what I got:

BFF's fabrics (because I called her and took lots of pictures LOL):

Pink Mickey, Alice in Wonderland fabrics (3 different ones - and she had others too!):

Star Wars (these were only $4.00 a yard!!!!!!) and 3 different Mickeys:

And here is a pattern book I bought (with a 50% off coupon at Joanns!):

Has anyone else bought and used this??? I'm interested to see what you think of it if you have

That's some amazing find on the fabric! I do not have the book so I can't provide any comments.

That is a beautiful quilt and the matching burp cloth! The turtle is very cute!

I have a machine embroidery question. I am going to be able to use my Aunts machine to do some embroidery this summer!! Once I find out what kind of machine she has, how would I go about getting some designs off Etsy? Could I do that and somehow take them on a thumb drive to her house (she is 18 hours away)? can you recommend some good ones to check into? PM me if you need to.

Before you buy any designs, you should find out if the machine is new enough to have a USB port. The older machines do not have one so a thumb drive would not do you any good! My Brother 270D only had a card slot that took these silly memory cards. The Brother ULT series took floppy disks (thankfully the 3.5" version). Just a small warning if this is an older machine.

Which machine did you order?

If you got the Brother 1034d - it's a great machine, and quite easy to figure out if you watch the cdrom that comes with it and read the manual. Plus there are tons of tutorials on youtube - just search for the model # and they all come up!

Congrats on your new machine!

yup, got the 1034D. Great price on Amazon and knowing them, it'll be here tomorrow! I debated so long on whether to just get the cheap one, or save up for a while and get one of the more expensive ones. I finally realized that all I really want it to do is finish my seams and a rolled hem so I don't have to sew all those ruffled hems on my sewing machine. So as long as I can get it to do those 2 things, I'll be thrilled!
