Disboutiquers Part 27 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[tinkerbell3747]

I want a PE770 too and am currently looking around to find one in the US. Machines in Canada seem to be twice the price for some reason. Even paying shipping charges, it will be cheaper to purchase from the States.

IKWYM - It will be cheaper for me to buy in the States, but I will have to use sea shipping to make it worth while. I am hopping I can go up to Florida soon, for a mini sewing supplies shopping spree. Finding Fabric here is an issue too so I have to order online or buy while I am in the states. So far I found Hobby Lobby - who ships internationally....hoping to find a few others as well...

We loved our visits to ASMo my kids loved it there, surprisingly enough they loved POP even more....something about not having to share a bus really tickled there fancy....wonder who taught them that Disney logic....

My FIRST ever Feliz. I have had the pattern for about 3 years and just now had the guts to do it. What I found was it is not really that hard. Just extrememly time consuming (sep without a serger like me). I don't want to make another for a while

But my DD LOVED it and was spinning around the house all day. That made it all worth while.

So beautiful. Love the fabric WOW that just pops. And the hair bows...too dang cute. I have this pattern and it looks so pretty sitting in my book..I have to make it, this was the main reason I bought the book

A purse for DD in our high school's team colors and logo. When I finally get an embroidery machine I am SO digitizing this because I have orders for 2 more for friends already.

And a park bag, also for DD10 at her request. I improvised this one and I love how it came out - the zipper pocket is just the right size for her iPod Touch and has a button hole to run the headphones through, and the slip-in pocket holds her Epcot passport and pen perfectly. The only problem is the measurements on B&N.com for the Birnbaums weren't accurate, so that doesn't fit as well as it should!

The outside is completely blank white canvas, because DD wanted an *autograph* purse.

We leave in 13 days and I have 7 more projects on the to-do list. Wish me luck!

Love the bags. Which pattern do y'all use for them? And leaving the front white is a terrific idea!! How original.

Here are a few more items I made for our upcoming trip. Today is 30 days out!

First is my "day bag" for the parks:

Next is a tinkerbell outfit for my DD:

I'm kinda thinking of painting a tinkerbell on the front of this. I have a very small embroidery machine, but it only does 4x4, so I don't think that would be big enough.

I have a couple of short sets I made for my DS also, but they really aren't anything exciting. I am so glad I have a DD! I have 3 boys, and last was my girl, and she LOVES for me to make her dresses. Hopefully I will have time to make her a few more.

Thanks for looking.

Wow wish I could paint and make it come out Im great at tracing does that count Love the rosetta!!! The color combo on the Tink is so great.

My first applique project. American Girl blankets for my nieces dolls they received this Christmas.

I would really love to make pajamas to match.....

Came out great. My daughter is getting her first this year for her birthday so Im sure Im going to be making quite a bit of things for her

Of course I did cut out 4 bowling shirts for my nephews (2 for each of them) using fabric from my stash. I can't use Carla's pattern because our printer still isn't fixed. I had to use a Simplicity pattern I already had. I don't like it nearly as much as Carla's pattern. But I have all 4 shirts half finished after one day of work. Hoping that tomorrow I can put on the sleeves and do the buttonholes. Then all 4 will be done. My next goal will be to plan some special outfits for the niece and nephews with the Dr. Seuss fabric I bought last winter. You see, I really am trying to use up some of my fabric stash!


I also finished the last bit on this bag that I made during winter break.

This is the inside pocket that I added to this bag:

I love having zippered pockets inside my bag!

This is awesome. Great job on the zippers. What pattern do you use for these? Im looking for a nice cross body for the parks.

I didn't use one. I just sort of winged it based on other bags I'd seen that I liked. I've used the Make It Love It stroller/diaper bag tutorial a few times so I had the construction basics down, and just resized and added and subtracted features as needed to get what I wanted.

I used this pattern:
http://erinerickson.com/store/patterns/two-zip-hipster-pdf-pattern/

I added the inside zippered pocket because I really like having a zippered interior pocket in the bag that I carry. It was a very easy pattern with very good instructions. She also sells the pattern on etsy. Just look for two zip hipster on there.

Thank you so much!!

How did I get so far behind. Maybe trying to keep up with D's PTR kept me busy



Sorry to hear that it was their friend that accidently hit her.

Love all these new outfits you have been very busy.



Great job!



Great job on everything as usual! Glad you little furbaby is feeling better. I really love the fabric colors of the Christmas dress.



Some of us here have only been sewing for a little over a year and it is mandatory to post pictures



Love that fabric. I have been debating on buying some but I must resist or DH is going to have me committed for all the fabric I keep buying.



We really need to start our FHA (fabric hoarders anyomous) group back up.

I just organized all my fabric and it is finally out of bins... but it really shows how much stuff I have that I am just hoarding




Really love this mermaid fabric. DD loves mermaids too.



Great mermaid dress too. I think I feel a theme coming on.



That is such a sweet thing to do and love the dress with the matching AG dress.



Everything is so cute and really love those slippers.



Great job.



What a beautiful skirt.



Thanks



What a cute shirt and love the tail wrapping around the side.



WooHoo! Congrats.



What a great job.



What a great idea on the park bag. Hope you get lots of autographs.



Love your park bag and the dress. Since the bodice is small I think a 4x4 would work but I would be afraid to mess something up since your dress is so beautiful already.



Welcome and great job on the blankets.



Is it the Flags around the world?

Hi,
I think I replied to your question wrong earlier, I'm really green at this posting stuff. Anyway, hopefully you will get this post. Yes, you are correct, it is the flag fabric that represent the counties in Epcot. Thank you again for any help you can give.
Thanks!!

Yes, isn't that little dog the cutest! Our little dog is very cute too but she'd never sit in a purse! I just ordered some Japanese Disney fabric yesterday. I have some ideas for what I want to do with it and one of the ideas is to use a bit of it to make a purse. I'll probably mix it with some other fabrics in each thing that I make so that it lasts longer. It wasn't quite as expensive as I thought it would be to order it.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this and have no idea if I'm even posting this correctly. Hopefully, I do and you can help me. I have adored many many of your projects, you all are so talented!!
We are going back to Disney this summer and hoping to do something different for my girls for Epcot. Does anybody know what I mean when I ask about the fabric with all the different countries on it. That is what I'm looking for and can't seem to find any information on where to buy it. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it!!
Thank you all for all your inspiring projects!!!
Shonda

Hi Shonda, welcome! Unfortunately I don't think the flag fabric hasn't been in print for a few years. I have seen it on feebay from time to time. I'm not sure what the actual name of the fabric is, maybe someone else will come along and post it so you can search for it. If you do find it it will probably be pricey.

My first applique project. American Girl blankets for my nieces dolls they received this Christmas.

I would really love to make pajamas to match.....

They look great and matching jammies would be cute!

I just ordered some Disney fabric and some Hello Kitty fabric from etsy. I can't wait to get it and start on some new stuff. See how quickly I broke my no new fabric promise. I think it was less than 24 hours. And I shouldn't admit this but I bought a yard of fabric earlier today when I went to JOanns for buttons.

Of course I did cut out 4 bowling shirts for my nephews (2 for each of them) using fabric from my stash. I can't use Carla's pattern because our printer still isn't fixed. I had to use a Simplicity pattern I already had. I don't like it nearly as much as Carla's pattern. But I have all 4 shirts half finished after one day of work.

Love the bag and I have to say I think your budget is still ahead with your fabric because if my printer were broken I would be at wal-mart spending $75.00 on a printer and picking up fabric on my way out. My husband calls that Mary math

Tomorrow the store that I bought my machine from is offering a Bernina owner class. I am so excited. I have taken it before but I was so overwhelmed that I don't remember everything. I hope to relearn the basics of my machine. I am super super excited about learning to put a button on. My belly has popped buttons off all my jackets!

That sounds like fun! How was it?

Marianne used some on her boys pants. Not sure where she found some but have you tried searching on Ebay or Etsy for some.

Wow wish I could paint and make it come out Im great at tracing does that count Love the rosetta!!! The color combo on the Tink is so great.

I can only trace too. I have an iron on pencil and trace the pattern I want and iron it onto the shirt or fabric. Then its just like coloring!

 

[Mommyto1andtwins]

I had a blast! There were only two of us that showed up because of the storm last yesterday and today. So It went quickly and we covered a lot of information. I didn't like how they showed me to do the zipper. Basting it and then placing the zipper over the basting stitch but it was neat to learn. I love the button and button hole options on my machine.

I love seeing all the different bags that have been posted lately. I am going to attempt one tonight. Hopefully Sunday my sister-in-law and I are going to try a to make a pillow case dress for my niece.

Have a wonderful evening everyone!

Thanks! I'm still unsure about painting on it. I'm thinking I may just leave it plain and use that time to do some more sewing projects.

So I made my first ITH project from PicklePie. I made a cell phone case for my friend and one for me but I just skipped the steps about the strap and button closure.

I couldn't believe how easy it was and it only took about a 1/2 to make.

I love the cell phone cases. They are so pretty.

I had checked some places, but I cannot remember if I checked ebay or etsy or not. However, I did just check them and I did find some. I'm not sure if it is exactly what everyone else has used in the past, but I think I gonna try it.... I'm really just needing it to applique a mickey head with.
FYI, in case anyone else is looking for this type of fabric, it is called International Flag of Nations.
Thanks again to everyone for helping!!

Another Friday night and I don't seem to have plans so I'll offer a quick tutorial about AG bags that Andrea asked about. As I was uploading to photobucket it occurred to me that I have too many photos for one post, so keep reading when you're done here.

Barefoot Dorrrine. For the dress pattern you'll have to go to my etsy shop (oh, wait, I don't have an etsy shop), but here are pictures worth 1,000 words on how to make the other two bags.

Notes . . . in the past I've "fortified" it with a lightweight interfacing, and you can add a button to the front or embellish it any way you like, and get creative with the handle.

If I had known my camera was going to take such clear photos I would have slowed down a bit.

Looks like it's time for a new ironing board cover.
