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

[ellenbenny]

Hi Everyone, I've been lurking here for awhile and oohing and aahing over all the beautiful things. You all are very talented. So I decided I should introduce myself. My name is Carol, I have 2 married daughters and 2 adorable grandchildren. I'm also a special needs preschool teacher and just started enjoying my summer break. I hope to do lots of sewing this summer for our Disney trip in Sept.

Welcome! Can't wait to see what you create!

OK - I just had to squeal with excitement - I figured you all might be able to understand.

AND I FOUND IT - it was actually sold bound to the backing... I did a BIN on it and I am so EXCITED!!!!!! It should be here this week. All I have to do is add the yellow silky edging and wash it a few times.

And for the record - Allison is 13 and she does not care one whit about her baby blanket. I know when I tell her that I've found it - she will truly think I've flipped my lid.

D~

Awesome find on the baby blanket! Can't wait to see the finished product after you add the binding.

 

[aboveH20]

I saw that too! I am almost finished my second forty and still have ten more yards left to do. I am actually waiting for Hobby Lobby to have theirs on sale...it is 44/45" versus Joanns 42 inches (which is tight to get 4 and meet the size requirements)

Lynn

I didn't realize that Hobby Lobby fabric is wider. It's been tight a few times getting the four pillowcases, but I thought it was from evening off the not-so-perfectly cut edges. Good to know.

OK - I have something else to share. Sorry... But this time - it isn't mine - it's 12 y/o dd's. She made her Kanani 2 dresses over the last 2 weeks, and I need to share them because she did such a great job. I helped with pattern placement and I read the instructions out loud - otherwise - she did it all herself!

We just love the dolphins on this dress... and we couldn't have placed the bodic more perfectly, than to get one dolphin up the strap.

I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

D~

Beautiful. Beautiful.

That does it. I'm gonna make a doll dress after I finish my current set of GKTW pillowcases. I hope the woman next door doesn't think it too unusual if I ask to try it on her daughter's doll -- and then take a photo.

This dress is STUNNING! May I ask what kind of cotton you used? It's so airy and light!

Also, where did you purchase your laces and entredeux? Beautiful!

Best regards,

Dd says thank you

LOL about the neighbor... I can't wait to see what you make! Do you know which pattern you are going to do?

D~

 

[ivey_family]

Thank you! All of the patterns were purchased on YCMT... The swing top is the Emma swing top (such a cute and versitile pattern - one of my favorites), the bottoms are the "Ruffled Diaper cover" - another super easy pattern. These two patterns take me almost as long to cut out as it takes me to sew them (but I am a slow cutter). The hat is the "Sunny Days hat" and the shoes are the "Basic Booties for Babies & Dolls (that wrap around the ankles)" - honestly these shoes are so easy to make - and I get the most compliments on those than anything else. LOL. The pants were Easy Fits and the tshirt was purchased and I drew out my own applique to applique it - I also sewed the matching ribbon around the arm openings, since I had it cut apart, and I think it added a lot to the shirt. That should be everything. It took me 3 full days to make everything - including cutting time.


D~

Thank you for the info! I thought that might be the ruffled diaper cover on YCMT. I was planning to buy that, but got confused and bought the one from Little Lizard King instead. I did NOT like the LLK version - it's just not as polished looking. Ooops! I've got to get the other one!

Regards,
C.

 

[RMAMom]

D~ I'm so glad you found the quilt and if DD doesn't understand maybe you should just put it away until she has her first baby, it would be a great surprise!

Question
Bill and I are planning the review games for Camp Promise. Each night is a different Holiday - Christmas, Valentines, Easter and Thanksgiving.

For thanksgiving, we'd like the director to dress up as a big Turkey that the campers can add feathers to. Whichever team has the most feathers on the turkey at the end of the game wins ( they really dont care about winning, lol, but its fun to talk about it) SO.....any ideas on how to make a turkey costume for a 6 foot adult?????

Your DD did a good job on those dresses! They look wonderful!

Just want to say welcome. Looking forward to seeing your creations.

OK - I just had to squeal with excitement - I figured you all might be able to understand.

So - 5 years ago, when we were packing up our house for the move across the state, a bin of special items was donated to the Goodwill - only I didn't discover it until months later. In that bin was a quilt that my aunt made for me - which was my favorite. Several of Allison's baby blankets - one quilt was very special, as my cousin had made it for her when she was born. I knew I could never tell my aunt or my cousin about the items that were donated on accident - and I certainly couldn't replace them. I was just sick, mostly about Allison's baby blanket, because mine has been missing since I was a child.

Well, since I've started to sew - I've been occasionally searching Etsy for the fabric for Allison's baby blanket - I've seen the backing many times, but not the panel. Well, I did a search tonight, and not even the backing was on Etsy. Which led me to Evilbay... I opened in several tabs possiblities of which one the quilt could be - then I started going through Allison's baby pictures... AND I FOUND IT - it was actually sold bound to the backing... I did a BIN on it and I am so EXCITED!!!!!! It should be here this week. All I have to do is add the yellow silky edging and wash it a few times.

And for the record - Allison is 13 and she does not care one whit about her baby blanket. I know when I tell her that I've found it - she will truly think I've flipped my lid.

D~

That's a beautiful panel. I am glad that you found it after all these years.

 

[Disney Yooper]

Ok, what is Chuck planning to do with the embroidery machine?
(for what it's worth, I'm LOVING my 770!)

He wants to embroider some jackets and hats with his company logo. He'd come up with other ideas as well. He's very creative that way.

Best regards,

I used "martha's favorite batiste" ordered the fabric and trims from the Sew Beautiful online catalogue. I had a discount code for 25% off order of a certain amount. You can go to the website and sign up for their mail catalogue which will have the discount codes in it (the one I used is now expired) Good thing because there are over 30 yds of trim in that dress. I did the puffing to save on buying the cotton laces....the puffing took the longest to make (2-3 hrs the bottom band of puffing was 180 inches in length ). I SAH so I had more time and less money to spend! This dress won't be worn a whole lot and being 100% cotton it wrinkles easily. I prefer to make the heirloom baby patterns and dresses out of imperial broadcloth for gifts....the poly content decreases the wrinkling and makes the garment less fragile. HTH.

Since it's probably gonna be hot (right?), I'd go with brown shorts, brown tshirt and some kind of head piece (feathers), and some kind of beak on elastic to put on his nose.

Thank you, very helpful! LOVE the puffing! I forgot to mention that in my previous post.

I'm also a SAHM with a small sewing budget. I think I'll be putting an heirloom dress for dd on next year's to-do list!

Lynn

Good to know that the flannel at Hobby Lobby is 44/45" and Joanns is not ... I never would have thought to look at that and would have just assumed Joanns was "regular" width.

I have not made straps from purchased bias tape... But the Snow White dresss I just finished has tie straps that I hand made from bias strip fabric - that I cut myself and finished. Theoretically - it should work.



Super cute!!!

OK - I have something else to share. Sorry... But this time - it isn't mine - it's 12 y/o dd's. She made her Kanani 2 dresses over the last 2 weeks, and I need to share them because she did such a great job.

D~

Again, I must Just consider me your personal groupie You made your own bias tape, you made that Amazing outfit (which I commented on over on FB) AND your daughter made two beautiful AG dresses!!!

WOW your DD did a great job.

Funny story about that AG doll. Since it seems like I have no time to have a friend's bday party for DD whose bday is Friday I promised her that doll. (She will still have the family party though) We have a AG store in Natick but now she wants to go to NYC and get it there

Oooh! I know we haven't met IRL, but I SOOOOO want to tag along if you go to NYC to the store And I didn't know there was a store in Natick ... And yes, I am aware I have boys A girl can dream, right?

Does anyone happen to know if there is a tut for roll up pants? Ones that can be worn as shorts or pants? I have an idea, but would feel better if I knew it would work!

I haven't found one yet ... but, I plan on printing out the 4 different variations of pant tutorials from http://www.dana-made-it.com ... one of them is for lined pants.... I figure between those four and the easy-fits, I should be able to frankenpattern something together We'll see ... it's on the "to-do list" for this week

I am not making DH anything. I already gave him his gifts because I thought he was going to be fishing in Canada... nope, wrong weekend. Oops. I gave him 5 boxes of his favorite Girl Scout cookies and 2 batteries for his cordless drills (in hopes that he will finish my sewing room - and I told him that)


Dd says thanks.

LOL about the doll and going to NYC. It would be a fun trip.



Welcome!! I can't wait to see what you create!

D~

I TOTALLY get it ... Heck, lurking on the top shelf of a closet is MY "Nah" from when I was a baby/kid ... neither of my boys ever had a lovey that lasted for very long, so they don't "get it" ... but I know what it's like to lose something sentimental and be able to find it again

Brown sweats with a funky headpiece ... and a large cardboard (I'm thinking cut from a refrigerator box) fan shaped tail for the campers to stick the feathers to ... would that work???


Y'all - I got a LOT done today ... two pairs of upcycled Star Wars jeans for the boys, a pair of Disney Decoupage Jeans for Finn, my first ever pillowcase dress (which was a sewing lesson itself - I learned French seams, attaching ric rac and using bias tape!) . . . I cut out a bunch of other stuff too ...

And finally - just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the kind remarks on my first tutu (and about my cute kid) !!!!

 

[queenbee99]

Aww thank you They are all machine done! I am not hand applique to save my life!

I LOVE them!!! Especially the Monsters Inc one and the Lalaloopsy one!

What size are those appliques? What kind of machine do you have?

GREAT JOB!!!!!

 

[VBAndrea]

INSA QUESTION???
The top gores have the option of using elastic which gives the skirt a really cute runched look. On the skirt I am making I am appliqueing 5x7 designs on the front and back panels while the sides have a print. I am assuming if I use elastic in all the panels it will bunch up the appliques a bit. I know I can leave the elastic out all together, but what about putting the elastic up the side panels only??? Has anyone ever done this? If anyone has and it worked please let me know and I will do that. Thanks!

OK - I have something else to share. Sorry... But this time - it isn't mine - it's 12 y/o dd's. She made her Kanani 2 dresses over the last 2 weeks, and I need to share them because she did such a great job.

We just love the dolphins on this dress... and we couldn't have placed the bodic more perfectly, than to get one dolphin up the strap.

I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

D~

Before you even mentioned the dolphins on the strap I was going to comment on the most excellent fabric placement! The skirt is perfect too with flowers up the left side and the dolphin on it's right. Very pretty fabric! And bravo to your dd for doing an excellent job.

Too funny that dh gets new batteries for his drill! Should I buy dh some mulch since I never finished doing the back yard?

Leggings with a swetshirt poofed out up top (just get a really large size). Not sure what to do about the tail though?

I had no clue about Joann's flannel being 42 inches either, but we don't have Hobby Lobby here and Hancock's never seems to put flannel on sale for the prices Joann's does.

FYI they no longer make refrigerator boxes -- trust me, we searched for one for some time last year to store the lei for my dh's ship and finally I contacted a local mom and pop appliance store where she told me frig's are now bubble wrapped. Washers and dryers still come in boxes though!

And where are pictures of yesterday's creations???? Actually, other than BG items I made my dd a tote which I never took pics of and embroidered my ds some t's, again no pics.

And I still can't believe you got your ds in the tutu. My ds refused to try on some hats for a BG and even my dd would only try one on for a few seconds My stair bannister and bud vase bowl ended up being better models!

 

[DMGeurts]

D~ I'm so glad you found the quilt and if DD doesn't understand maybe you should just put it away until she has her first baby, it would be a great surprise!

Thank you for the idea. I told her last night that I found it... and she said you mean you found my actual blankie? And I said no - not your actual blankie - but one that looks just like it. She wanted to see and I showed her... and she said - you mean that blankie - I guess she didn't know which one I was referring to. Then once she saw it, she got really excited. She said she is going to hang it on her bedroom wall when I finish it. I have a feeling it will end up on her bed though.

DD made a really cute turkey hat one year in elementary school - but I can't find anything like it online??? Bummer, because it would have been cute. I'll see if I can take a picture after work today or tomorrow. Otherwise - I think everyone's ideas are fabulous.

LOL on being my groupie! Hehehe.

And about AG - there are TONS of adult collectors out there! So, don't be ashamed. I have 5 of my own dolls mixed in with the girls'. There is nothing wrong with enjoying your second childhood.

I am glad that so many of you understood my quest for Allison's blankie - I thought for sure that I'd gone off my rocker.

You got a lot done yesterday! Pictures??? I'd love to see. And french seams are a great tool to know, before I got my serger, I did them all the time. I even did them again on the item I made for Bridgie's give.

Thank you - I will be sure to let dd read this thread today. She'll be thrilled.

I think that mulch would be a great FD gift for your DH. Maybe a shovel, gloves or something to go with it - just in case that the mulch doesn't feel very father's day like. LOL

And so LOLing over the stair bannister and bud vase bowl mannequins! I would love to see photos of that.

I have to work all day today, and I have meetings tonight - so no sewing for me. Tomorrow though... I get to go back to that awesome fabric store!!! Maybe I'll chat up the ladies there and make some new friends???

[mommyof2princesses]

Hi all! Been busy the last few months and have not had the time to stay caught up. I have been on facebook alot and have stayed in touch with many of you there. But now it is summer break and I hope to get on here at least in the mornings!

Hope everyone is doing well! We just bought 10 day ph no-exp. tickets before the prices went up and are planning a trip in Jan/Feb. We plan on doing Universal too as the kids really want to see the new Harry Potter part. We have never been to those parks! I would love to make the girls something Harry Potter. Ashley is getting too big for my creations, but Sara Beth still likes me to sew for her!

D~

I love doing french seams ON the serger.....sometimes I still want the french seam look even though I have a serger (or maybe I don'thave the right color serger thread).....essentially I do the first run on the serger (the right side out step) and the second on the sewing machine.....it keeps you from having all those little threads that sometimes peek out ot the outside of french seams

 

[aboveH20]

Dd says thank you

LOL about the neighbor... I can't wait to see what you make! Do you know which pattern you are going to do?

D~

I have CarlaC's stripwork jumper, so that's first.

I have no idea but I did find this and hope it gives you some inspiration.

Even though I don't need a turkey costume I checked them out. What a variety. I love the one for the dog. Zoey . . . . . .

Oooh! I know we haven't met IRL, but I SOOOOO want to tag along if you go to NYC to the store And I didn't know there was a store in Natick ... And yes, I am aware I have boys A girl can dream, right?

I hear so much about having tea at the AG store that I really want to go next time I go to NYC. Would they think I was a crazy lady that lived with a house full of cats if I went by myself -- with no doll?
