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

[VBAndrea]

Lauren has developed this fascination with Darth Vader. She thinks he is so funny. I got the design to make a father's day gift for Dh but Lauren asked for a pink Vader.....

Cute! Definitely the only pink Darth Vader I have ever seen -- and probably will ever see!

I am going to give my opinion on the 5x7 vs the 6x10 since I see talk about it. There is usually quite a large jump in price between the two but if you can find the 1500d it isn't that bad for a 6x10 compared to what some are. It is a combo sewing/embroidery though so that raises the price itself. My dealer was firm at $2200 (I think, might have been $2400) and he was going to toss in the 4x4 hoop after lots of pleading. I don't think he was in the mood to sell a machine that day.

Anyways, if you take an image and do it 6x10 you often times don't get *that* much larger because you can only go one inch larger on the one side, usually width with most designs and you have to keep your item in scale. So overall it isn't that huge. Of course if it is something long and skinny, a ladder for example, you could easily get it the 3 inches longer (I know, bad example).

I never use my 6x10, but I also hoop everything and hooping with a 6x10 is very hard unless the shirt is large. I do not like spray or sticky because it gums up the machine and I use mine way too often to be worrying about that. I have maybe used it 5x in the 11 years I have owned my machine. It is good though if you wanted to make something with a name or long saying since you can get way more words in it. If you make dresses or skirts vs tees then the hooping isn't as big of an issue since the fabric can just be cut larger.

Anyways, just my thoughts. I will say I enjoy having that size though just to have. I bought a new machine 2 months ago and skipped the 6x10, stuck with a 5x7. It was $700 more for the 6x10 but I wasn't willing to pay it since I saw no need.

I'm so glad you posted that b/c it makes me feel better about my new machine. I love the look of really large appliques, but I like them really big which means by hand. Some of mine turn out really well and others have nasty looking parts. I think if I did more I'd get better at them.

Also wanted to ask you about hooping shirts ... how do you avoid hoop burn? I guess I should just try it with a shirt and see what happens. Does hoop burn wash out? Is there a particular brand of shirt that would work better?

How much do you want??? Seriously, at this point, I've already told her I need AT LEAST 12 yards ... it's $5.00 a yard (which everyone else that wanted some as well, I promised I'd find out!) but that's still cheaper than a lot of fabrics at Walmart even ... and this is very nice quality stuff ... and I'm going to the post office regardless, so another order ... as long as my credit card doesn't freak out 'til y'all send me your money I'm happy to help spread the 'fabric joy'

And thanks for the tip on the Comic Strip Mickey fabric & Joann's! Although our Joann's and special help don't seem to go in my favor ... The last couple of times I went in there and needed help it seemed to be a HUGE deal and I felt SO bad ...



I hear ya on the "wasting $2" The pair of "dinosaur party pants" I made for Finn (my first "real" project in years - because the Star Wars stuff I made wasn't 'real' to me ) were made with jeans from Goodwill and $1.50 clearance material from Walmart ... the whole project cost me less than $5.00 and he LOVES them

I have to sync my phone before I can post the tutu pictures ... and I'm just going to "risk" the fact that Amber might think to peek in here looking for a picture, because I told her she had to wait until the box arrives to see the final product

And, like I said above, I'm happy to spread the fabric joy when I can ... If anyone finds Comic Strip Mickey Fabric locally and wants to return the favor (provided it's on sale or there's a coupon, because WOW! Joann's fabric prices have gone up ) I'd be thrilled

I totally want to know who the Utah orderer was ... Come out, come out, where ever you are! I thought it was SO COOL that I had been able to help someone find fabric and help this store with an order like that

I'm willing to bet the Utah order was someone who is going to resell on etsy at higher prices. I have a feeling in a week or two many of the fabrics you got will be listed there. I see some of the fabrics I get at Walmart listed on etsy all the time for $7 or $8 a yard instead of the $5 they actually cost.

And I agree with you regarding Joann's -- At one of our stores I dare not ask for extra help. The manager in there last time almost wouldn't sell me a remnant b/c she couldn't get it to ring up correctly. Her words were "I'm not going to be able to sell this to you." I guess it would have taken her too much time to actually get a bolt of the solid knit fabric for a correct sku and then 1/2 it!!! My store with the better fabric has mean employees.

I have done some MAJOR sewing recently! The heat in maryland is ungodly at this point (Over 100 degrees) and there is nothing to do outside so sewing inside has kept me sane! This weather is just crazy anymore! Snow in Hawaii, The fires, floods and tornados! I pray everyone is safe!

HEre are a few recentl pictures of the kidos, my designs and such!

Thanks for letting me share my LOADS of pictures! I have plenty more to share but I will just leave you with the outfits and not the pictures of the kidos lol Although Nathan has grown so much since I have shared any pictures of him!

Candice

WOW!!!! How on earth do you have the time for all that sewing?! I work so very part time and I couldn't get half of that done. I love the Ariel twirl and I love the little mermaid shirt with skirt. I must have a thing for mermaids!

Okay ... so I'd never made a tutu before, but I'd heard they were easy to make and lots of fun ... so when Amber needed a "rocker tutu" for Savannah for a photo shoot for the hospital next week, I talked to my cousin that makes tutus and decided I could give it a shot

I read lots of tutorials and then I headed to RYCO up in Lincoln, RI for fabulous supplies at a great price It's pretty much "Tutu Makers Heaven" in that place ... 22+ colors of tulle on rolls starting at 6" ... ribbon after ribbon ... elastic ... you name it, if RYCO makes it, it's there and inexpensive!


And the longest part of the process? CUTTING and STACKING the tulle ... the actual process of putting the tutu together is super quick ... it's the "prep work" that took a while (and of course, Savannah's BOYFRIEND - DS2 - wanted to "help" ) ...

He was nice enough to model for me when I was halfway through ...

Here it is halfway done (this was after Finn tried it on and after I'd added the ribbons):

I decided it wasn't "poofy" enough and that I didn't like how the waistband looked with the tulle & ribbons all showing together, so I added a second layer - more POOF and it hid all the "mess"

So, there you have it! My first ever tutu ... and I LOVED making it!!! SO much fun!!! It helped curb the need to make "girly things" when I have two boys to sew for too
I shipped it off this morning ... hopefully it will arrive by Saturday (the photoshoot is on Wednesday and in the box were two RockStar rhinestone iron-ons so Amber can make the girls shirts to wear with their tutus (her older daughter has a "Fancy Nancy" tutu) ...

Awesome! I have yet to ever make one -- it seems like so much work. Yours turned out fabulous!

 

[dianemom2]

Thank you. I had to LOL - the reason I dug my machine out of the closet??? To make the curtains for my girls' rooms. LOL

I know I completely missed the boat sewing for my girls too - I so wish I could have made them some of these adorable baby outfits I've made. My only problem is the accessories - I used to manage a Gymboree store (back in the day when everything matched - Matchmatics, is what they called it) - so now I make these outfits, and I keep wanting to add on to them. DH said tonight that I need to hire a bunch of people to make my ideas, because I can't keep up with myself. LOL

D~

I have seen lots of digitizers who make designs to match some of the Gymboree lines. I would have been in heaven when my girls were little. I love Gymboree since I could buy smaller pants and bigger shirts and they would still match. This was just before the adjustable waist pants came out and when my girls were really little the regular pants used to fall down because they were too skinny! I tried to get a part time job at Gymboree when my girls were little just because I wanted to get the employee discount

YES! I can not believe our weather! What the heck is going on it isnt even summer yet! Hardly this hot in Aug. but it has been this way since MAY! My daughter had a field trip yesterday and they had to cancel it because of the heat.

The cow fabric came from ThE bay I LOVE IT! I have a thing for cows lol

Is The Bay a store?

That turned out great! Very rocker! I made a bunch of these tutus for my daughter's middle school play. The flowers wore them so that they looked like petals. They are very time consuming to make just because of all the cutting!

 

[GoofItUp]

We are 10 days from leaving for our trip, and I am now 1 shirt away from having 27 (yes, that's TWENTY SEVEN) outfits put together for my 3 nieces, 2 nephews, and 2 DS's! I just got an iPhone yesterday which I think will help with posting pics. As soon as I have a few minutes to figure that out I'll try and get some pics up.

And just as a shout out...I did have some help from a good friend and my aunt getting all these done. YEA for sewing buddies!!

 

[cogero]

OH I can wait to see. your creations.

 

[DMGeurts]

I few days ago on another site I saw an outfit posted of a Peter Pan skirt and top. The skirt was appliqued with Heather Sues Tink silhouette and pirate ship silhouette, the top had the peter pan/wendy/john/michael with the moon silhouette. On the skirt there was also two more appliques, one said "Off to Neverland, Here we Go!" and the other said "All you need is faith, trust and a little bit of pixie dust"... has anyone seen these text designs anywhere? I want them!

That sounds adorable... I wanna see. LOL

Marianne - This turned out awesome!!! I love how poofy it is! And that was so nice of ds to model for you.

I love Gymboree since I could buy smaller pants and bigger shirts and they would still match. This was just before the adjustable waist pants came out and when my girls were really little the regular pants used to fall down because they were too skinny! I tried to get a part time job at Gymboree when my girls were little just because I wanted to get the employee discount

The discount was awesome - unfortunately - my entire paycheck went back into Gymboree - even after the discount. My girls matched, head to toe, every single day of their lives until they were about 4 & 5 - It was truly insane! I miss those days, but I honestly don't know what I was thinking??? I remember, standing in the store, back in the day - wishing Gymboree would have made this or that... now I just sit in front of my machine and create it. When I am done with this baby "outfit" - it will end up being 7 pieces that totally and completely coordinate and mix & match. I sure hope she likes this fabric - LOL.

I think "the Bay" is short for Ebay - but I am not sure.

The ALL you need is Faith is from Digital by Design. She is on FB

Does she sell anywhere else? Etsy maybe? I can't load any of the FB stores (including HeatherSue's') - they keep crashing IE. And dh won't let me put any other browsers on this pc - he is picky that way.

The lady that does the Digitalbydesign has her email on several of her posts on facebook. You could probably look at her designs on FB and then email her about how to purchase them some other way. She had a sale a couple of weeks ago and all her designs were 50% off. I bought several of them to add to my "collection". I got all 7 dwarfs and Bambi. Now I just have to plan something out to to make with them!

 

[ellenbenny]

Here is a messenger bag I made for Bridget's Big Give for her Mom. I had purchased the 7 dwarfs fabric a while back. I was excited to have an opportunity to use it for this family - they have 7 kids and each has a dwarf nickname, I thought this fabric would be appropriate for Mom:

Thanks for looking!

Beautifully executed. The fabric is perfect, the applique is amazing, and the stitching is flawless. Great job.

These outfits are all Awesome!! My DD & I especially love the Ariel. Question: how do you give the skirt so much "twirl factor"? The models are great, too- I love when they really get into it! Thank you for sharing these!

This bag is great! I am sure she will love it. All these great embrodiery pics lately have me wanting to upgrade my basic brother. Love, love, love this bag!

I wish I could - but it will only let me look at the first page of each of her categories... when ever I try to go to pg 2 - or any other page - that's when FB errors out. Same thing for HeatherSue - but at least I can look at her stuff on Etsy.
Honestly - I don't even know why it matters, I don't have an embroidery machine anyways. LO I am just nosy and like to see what I am missing out on.

WOW!!! Everyone here knows about my bag fascination... this just tops the cake! I love, love, love the fabric.... it's so perfect for Bridgie's mom - she is going to FLIP!!!!!

So, fess up, where did you find this fabric? I would love to get me some - DH loves SW... maybe I can make him some jammies or something. LOL

Oh - and I am in a SUPER DUPER good mood... I just finished my first hand applique and now I am addicted to that!

Wendy, that rainbow looks great. Love Heather's newest design!


Lauren has developed this fascination with Darth Vader. She thinks he is so funny. I got the design to make a father's day gift for Dh but Lauren asked for a pink Vader.....

And because it is pretty funny......

Are you able to look in her photo albums? She does not have everything listed in her shop, but you can see all her designs by looking in her albums and then e-mail her. I'm hoping you can look at her photo albums even if the Shop Now function isn't working maybe???

Thanks so much for the on the bag. I bought the dwarfs fabric on etsy a year ago or so. For a while I was stalking ebay and etsy for good disney fabric finds at a decent price, and although some try to sell for rediculous prices, every so often you come across a really good deal. I just looked it up in my etsy account, I got 4 yards of this fabric for $10, plus a little over 3 yards of monsters inc for $9, plus $7.50 shipping on the lot, so it all came to less than $4 a yard, how could I pass that up?? I didn't have a purpose in mind for it when I bought it (or any of the others I bought) which is why I now have a HUGE fabric stash, and not enough time to use it all, LOL!

Oh yeah, and great news on the applique, there's no stopping you now!!

LOVE it!! That's it...I have to give this a try. Can you tell me what you did/which tutorial you used? It turned out so cute! You did a great job.

 

[belle41379]

I posted this yesterday but I think it got lost in the amazing creations that have been posted.

Can anyone tell me where I can find an appliqué design of snow white holding an apple. It was posted a few months/weeks ago but I don't know if it was hand appliqué or digital.

Thanks for your help.

Was it with multiple fabrics, or a sillouette?

You're going to share a picture, right? You know I need to see your first hand applique!!!!!


Thanks everyone for the tutu love I could TOTALLY see myself addicted to making them!!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!!
Finn didn't want to try it on for me until I reminded him it was for his girlfriend ... then he was all about it But here was his first picture, he's thrilled, isn't he?

Today I'm going to attempt a pillowcase dress .... Does anyone have a favorite tutorial??? I also might attempt some skirts for myself ... I know someone posted a women's skirt tutorial, but for the life of me, I can't find it

I must say the tutu and your DS are just adorable!!

Haven't made a pillowcase dress yet and anything I have made for myself to wear has not been a great success, so no advice for you there.

That is a great tute!! Thanks for posting! I was curious if you knew what sizes this would work for. My daughter wears size 5 in girls. Thanks!!
