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

[mphalens]

Okay ... quote part two: Be sure to read the BOLDED part ... I might be going back to that store ...

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

I probably didn't NEED any more fabric either - especially since I have YARDS of fabric waiting for me upstairs that I'm supposed to be making pants, etc. with ... but I had been SEARCHING for some of these ... couldn't just leave them there!!!

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!

Only 6 hours to Charlotte??? We should do a fabric excursion together sometime ... the second half of my pictures were purchased in Charlotte ... about half of the princess ones were too ...

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!

I'm always drooling over everyone's fabrics!!! I think the funniest part of the day was when I showed my 6 year old the Star Wars fabrics ... he FLIPPED out ... "Can we buy all of it? How much do they have? I think you need at least 10 yards ... it is YARDS, isn't it?!?!?!" The lady working in the store about died

OOOOoooooo!! I'm very envious of your finds!! I can't wait to see all the fabulous things you make with it!

Yeah... now to figure out what all I'm going to make with it

WOW what an AWESOME find!! Incredibles!!! Handy MAnny ( I NEED some of that for Tim), Mickey, Tangled!!!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!! Cant wait to see what you make!!!

Incredibles - yeah, BFF was super excited when i called to tell her I'd found that! They do (which actually, one of you fabulous ladies made for them!!!) Incredibles shirts every trip and the kids had outgrown their BigGive bottoms a while ago ... I bought her 3 yards ...
Handy Manny I actually got from Hancock Fabric in Charlotte ... and last I looked they had it online at www.hancockfabrics.com... I looked tonight and they only have Handy Manny on a motorcycle (and it's listed as Handyman).
Both Tangled prints (one is flannel) came from Joann's. I was thrilled to find that pink Mickey fabric!!!!

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

The pink Disney fabric was one I'd been looking for ... she had quite a bit more (I only bought 1/4 yard of that because I'm using it for "decoupaging" on some pants) ... it was only $4.99 a yard ...

OMG I am so jealous of your finds. I have been looking for some of those Mickey prints for Bryce. Everything I find is too babyish for him. If you go back I would love to place an order You found some awesome prints

Whatcha need??? I might go back tomorrow Hey, my mom offered to watch the boys so I could go alone I just might take her up on it

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

Thanks!

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!

Yeah, that's my problem - I keep buying buying buying but I'm not keeping up with the sewing sewing sewing ... you know what I was SUPPOSED to buy today? Black. Solid black. Or two fabrics to make myself a Meghan dress from Sis Boom ... Did I buy ANYTHING to make myself a dress? Nope. I did buy enough of the Alice print to do a skirt I think ... depending on what I make for the boys with it ...

Glad you gave up the carseat cover ... I always feel the need to share my experience with it (and I wasn't the one sewing!) ... I always have to remember to balance the time and money ... and that is NOT one of the things it's cheaper to make than buy!

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).

Um ... Thomas Kinkade made Cinderella and others??? I knew about Peter Pan, Bambi, Snow White ... didn't know there's a Cinderella line!!!! Who else is there that I missed out on ????? And where do you live? Which would this be???

 

[billwendy]

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.

I do love it!!! Its so much better than my cheapie which I sold on Craigslist. changing the thread is SO Much easier!!! Tonight I put a rainbow thread in to make some boy cut shirts look more girly for Eliz and Hannah!!!! All by myself!!

I did finish a few things to share. The little skirts are this stretchy pre ruffly fabric????? Its a bit sheer, so I got them some leggins to go with them. Hannah is getting the Ariel, and Elizabeth is getting the Tangled!! Then the beach scene boardwalk simply sweet with easy fit capris, and the pink/blue batik is for Elizabeth!! I hope they like them. Im working on rainbow outfits for the girls to be from Tim (their brother) he came to me and specially asked if I would make the girls rainbow dresses (shorts outfits will have to do - not enough fabric) so I'll make them and wrap them and Tim can sign his name on them - lol...I'd do anything for my little guy!

Tangled outfit without Zoey!!

My step brother and his wife are leaving for China tomorrow to pick up their baby girl Kate!!!! She will just be turning 2 years old!!! Say a prayer for them if you can! They adopted 2 boys, but both were in the states - so this is a whole new ballgame!

okay ... I had to share this fabric ... they had it at the store today (and I didn't buy any, because, let's face it, I have boys and they're NOT going to wear princess fabric ) ... I'd never ever seen it before ... If I made dresses for little girls, I'd be all over it ...

Okay ... I just saw the Princess Fabric Question! Sorry!!!

Snow White I bought at Walmart in Belmont... it was in the Clearance Section (under the cutting table)
Pink Cinderella I bought at Hobby Lobby in Rock Hill
Blue "multi-princess" I can't remember where I bought it ... Mary Jo's, Hobby Lobby, Hancock on South Blvd. or Walmart in Belmont

Both Tangled materials, Princess & the Frog and Purple "multi-princess" I just bought here at Joann's in Warwick, RI ... the pink Tangled and the Purple Multi that are in the far-most right hand row are both flannels ...

Does that help???

 

[mkwj]

OMG that s one of the princess materials I have been looking for. Yes get that one. 3 yards

I do love it!!! Its so much better than my cheapie which I sold on Craigslist. changing the thread is SO Much easier!!! Tonight I put a rainbow thread in to make some boy cut shirts look more girly for Eliz and Hannah!!!! All by myself!!

Tangled outfit without Zoey!!

My step brother and his wife are leaving for China tomorrow to pick up their baby girl Kate!!!! She will just be turning 2 years old!!! Say a prayer for them if you can! They adopted 2 boys, but both were in the states - so this is a whole new ballgame!

I love everything! I've seen that ruffly skirt fabric before - and I love what you did with it! Super cute!

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!

You'll be able to do those two things easily! Just follow the instructions in the book to a T, and it will be fine.

When my serger was delivered, believe it or not, I took out the Sharpie and I made notes on it. First, I made needle lines on the presser foot - so I could line the fabric up with the needles easier. This serger must be threaded in a certain order (that is very important), so, on the top thread guides, I put a 1, 2, 3 & 4 so I knew what order they went in, and wouldn't have to look it up every single time. I highly recommend doing this. I keep the book handy - there is so much information in it.

Believe it or not, the serger will be ready right out of the box - you'll just have to plug it in. The first time I threaded it, I tied my new thread to the old and just pulled it through. Beware though - the spools that it comes with, there isn't much on them, so you'll be able to sew a couple of lines with the different colors - but watch your thread levels, because if you run out, you won't be able to tie off to rethread it - if that's what you plan to do.

Also, I spent the days before it was delivered watching you tube videos on it... by the time it got here - I was really comfortable with how it worked and what needed to be done. Keeping in mind - I have never once touched a serger in my life, nor did I had a clue how to use one or what all the parts were until I purchased the thing. Honestly, if I can do it - I think anyone can. Good luck!!! IF you have any questions, feel free to ask - but honestly, you got a great starter serger and you can always upgrade later.

okay ... I had to share this fabric ... they had it at the store today (and I didn't buy any, because, let's face it, I have boys and they're NOT going to wear princess fabric ) ... I'd never ever seen it before ... If I made dresses for little girls, I'd be all over it ...

Oh wow... I love this!!! If anyone is still going and would like to get me 3 yards - that would be great! I have to work this morning - but I can paypal you this afternoon!

Also, I've been looking high and low for the Mickey comic strip fabric... and I can't find it anywhere locally - does anyone have an online source?

I know I missed quoting the many fabulous things that were posted yesterday... the turtle quilt was amazing... I hope to get back to quote those items, but if I don't... I truly love them all!!!

D~

Wendy I love the ruffly skirts!! I think I saw a remnant of that fabric at Joanns and almost picked it up, but didn't really know what I would do with it and I DON"T NEED more fabric! Anyway I love how they turned out and now if I see it again I may just have to pick some up.

I love the ruffle fabric skirts and they will look fabulous paired with the leggings. My dd won't wear a skirt without shorts or leggings underneath. I put leggings under all her dresses as well (or shorts if it's summer). I don't need her or someone else exposing her undies! The shirts you paired the skirts with and the color coordination is perfect. I have seen someone use that fabric to make leggings as well, so I do have a site for that fabric bookmarked, but of course have yet to get any. I have way too many projects on my plate right now that I can't get done. I have a couple hectic weeks here and then the kids are out of school. Hopefully with the kids home I can get more sewing done. It is killing me not having the time, but sadly I have a few other priorities I must take care of. I have fabric bought for BGs and can't even get started and I have all my fabric lined up for 20 GKTW pillows and have yet to start those as well.

And I LOVE the batik fabric -- that is gorgeous!

So sweet that Tim is "designing" outfits for the girls now!

Good luck to your step brother. I had a very good friend who adopted from China and it was a wonderful experience for them (sad thing is my frined died of cancer right after the dd turned five). I know a few of friends through her as wel and everyone seems to have great success with the adoption process there as well and everyone I know has been blessed with lovely little girls. One family I know adopted two children at different times and the sisters couldn't have looked more different. It was so cute because one was tall and robust and the other was the most petite thing you had ever seen. Both were dolls! I hope everything goes great for your family Does this mean you will have a new little one to sew for???

 

[Dustykins]

Um ... Thomas Kinkade made Cinderella and others??? I knew about Peter Pan, Bambi, Snow White ... didn't know there's a Cinderella line!!!! Who else is there that I missed out on ????? And where do you live? Which would this be???

I think the full list is Peter Pan, Bambi, Snow White, Cinderella, Pinocchio and Princess and the Frog and they had some of all of them except Peter Pan and Pinocchio (but they had those both before - I think they might still have the Pinocchio panels and they have some of both in flannel). I live in central IL and this is the Washington, IL Wal-mart.

ETA: Silly, that pink Cinderella fabric you posted yesterday *is* part of the Thomas Kinkade collection!

See, shows you what I know!!!

I knew about Peter Pan, Bambi, Snow White, Pinocchio ... Didn't know about Cinderella & Princess and the Frog ... I don't pay as much attention to the princesses with my two ruffians!

 

[RMAMom]

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?

This is something I would absolutely do! Why waste money on professional help when you can save it for fabric! BTW, did I mention I work for a psychiatrist.

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.

I love the outfits, but the rainbow one is definitely my favorite!
Prayers to your step brother, wife and niece for a smooth and easy adoption, travel and transition at home.

This is awesome! I love the colors. This thread will eventually have me convinced that I can even try my hand at applique.

Read the tutorial on the first page and give it a try. You can do it! When I finish all my current projects, I'll get brave enough to try a multiple fabric appliqué. It's so much fun!

 

[effervescent]

I have spent the last couple days going through pages and pages of this thread and multiquoting, and then my computer restarted and I lost it all.

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 is awesome that you found so much fabric! I know your grandma would be happy that you are able to put it to good use!

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

That is gorgeous! My daughter saw it and told me that she needed something McQueen too. I forsee me making some Cars stuff in the new future for our day at the movies.

I'm sure there are, but anyway, adhesive is driving me crazy!!!!! I'm in the process of making 50 bridal shower invites and the glue dots I'm using are showing signs of sliding. I also just looked through a Disney scrapbook that I did and stuff is starting to come off! Does anyone have a recommendation for a good adhesive to use for my scrapbooking/ card making? I've tried many things over the years and haven't liked many of them either for ease of use or durability. For these card I'm using a heavy, textured cardstock to make layered flowers. Thanks for any help!

I usually use Tombow Mono, but it's not always the best on textured cardstock. I've not had any problems with glue dots though. Are you using the permanent or repositional?

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:

Close-Up of Snow White:

That is beautiful!

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 everything! Those bags are awesome, what pattern is that?

 

[effervescent]

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

Color me jealous! I love the vintage Mickey, and the pink Mickey, and the Incredibles, and Nemo, and the pink with Minnie.....gosh I think I could think I could use all of that up!

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.

That is so cute! I love turtles. If I had another baby I'd do the nursery in turtles.

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?

You found Thomas Kinkade at Walmart? Wow, I need to go check ours. Alison would love some of the Peter Pan.

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!

I can only imagine how much time that would take. Plus the whole safety aspect of having an after market cover - the manufacturers have some really cute covers nowadays, so it'd probably be easier to just order from them.

Tangled outfit without Zoey!!

Those are adorable! I keep seeing things made with that ruffled fabric, I may have to go pick some up. Alison is such a ruffle girl. I hope your step brother and wife have a smooth adoption trip!

okay ... I had to share this fabric ... they had it at the store today (and I didn't buy any, because, let's face it, I have boys and they're NOT going to wear princess fabric ) ... I'd never ever seen it before ... If I made dresses for little girls, I'd be all over it ...

I love that! How many people are you up to taking orders for? I, um, might need to hop on that bandwagon.

Oooh, I love this! If you do get back (and haven't left already), I'd love 2 yards of this! I'd be happy to pick up some of the Thomas Kinkade Cinderella and Tiana to trade!

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:

Awesome finds. Wish I could get Disney fabric around here.... But then I would just buy a bunch that I don't need and take forever to use it and fill my sewing room to the ceiling... Maybe I am better off not having easy access.

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.

Very cute, love the turtles.

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

Thanks. Mom picked up the fabric for me at Rainbow's End in Dunedin, FL. She knows I like to make bags for the teachers every year and can never get appropriate fabric here.

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!

Thanks.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the school fabric! The purses look great and your DS shirt is fabulous!

Thank you. I mentioned above where I got it, I can check to see what it says on the selvage later if you would like.

Love everything! The shirt is fab, my son would love that!

Thank you. I love sewing for him, cause he is so appreciative, and I know that my days of sewing for him are numbered. He will be 10 next week. So I try to let him help design and make him cool 1 of a kind things.

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!

It is the Aivilo Pocket Tote from You can Make this. I have made about 15 or so of them now. They are very easy and you can customize the size quite easily too. The colours of the tops of the bags are those teachers favourite colours. https://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/featured-products/the-aivilo-pocket-handbag.htm

Ottobre doesn't require a serger any more than any other pattern. You can just zig zag your seams and use a long stretchy zig zag to hem the knits with your regular machine. I love my Ottobre subscription. there are 40 full patterns in every issue, with many different sizes and it only costs about $15/issue.

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

Thanks.

Tangled outfit without Zoey!!

My step brother and his wife are leaving for China tomorrow to pick up their baby girl Kate!!!! She will just be turning 2 years old!!! Say a prayer for them if you can! They adopted 2 boys, but both were in the states - so this is a whole new ballgame!

Great outfits Wendy. And good luck and prayers to your step brother and family.

I love everything! Those bags are awesome, what pattern is that?
