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

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

Hello!?!?! Is the sewing for Disney and trying to not go crazy support group?

I'm Heather, I've lurked here for years, but am finally planning a trip with my family, and I'm in the process of making an outfit for my DD for every day of the trip.

My embroidery module is not working at the moment, and I don't have a computer old enough to use the software for my 2001ish sewing machine (Bernina 180), soooo I'm probably going to order some customs for the boys to match her from Etsy.

I just thought I'd say hi, tell you all that you have inspired me many many times, and stick around for the fun and friendship you all seem to share.

I'm finishing my first outfit this next week or so, and I can't wait to share it with you and see if you have any suggestions to better or to help me with future pieces. The first outfit to be finished is her Mickey outfit, and the next one in the works is her dress to wear to Ariels for her second birthday lunch. (We're going to Disneyland!)

OK, enough about me. Talk with you all soon!

Is this what you are making? Or similar? I made this for my Niece that I am visiting this weekend.

Wow! That is uber-adorable! I LOVE it! Thanks for the link on how to do the heart!


Has anyone noticed that Carla C added sizes to her adult Easy Fits pattern? I'd really like to ask her if I could have the updated version since I already bought the pattern. Do you think that would be ok? Has anyone already done so?

I got a coupon code from Fairytale Frocks today. I'm seriously considering picking up the Vida pattern. It's not available in a book with other patterns, is it? I've got SCKL, but if there was another book, I'd rather go that way and get more for the money.

Regards,
C.

Did you buy it through YCMT? You should be able to just download it through your library there.

I love the Vida pattern!

Tricia, that outfit for your niece is really cute!

What sizes did she add? I tried to pull up my pattern on YCMT and it is showing my library as empty

double post. sorry

FYI, I had to pull out all the smilies because I was over my limit on images.

It's been a few weeks since I've stopped by... Waaay TMTC again - I feel horrible because you all do such beautiful things. It's been crazy busy at my house and I am just trying to keep up, with our trip looming in a few weeks.

Diane... I just wanted to tell you that your designs are amazing!

I wanted to post a few pictures (probably too many) for those of you that aren't following along in my PTR. I've managed to make quite a few things over the last few weeks... I apologize, I can't remember what I've posted over here and what I haven't, so I hope I am not duplicating anything I've shown already. I think, the last time I posted, I posted the Up! bag, so I'll just work forward from that.

I still need to get our pirate shirts appliqued, another set of shirts to applique and I have dreams of making 2 more bags...

Hi D, I was wondering what happen to you....I finally made a bag and posted pictures of it and mentioned that you had inspired me to make it. What cute outfits you have made for the trip....love them. TWO more bags!!! I felt lucky to get the one made on my machine...my machine DOES NOT like anything too thick...so it was screaming at me the whole time. I'm hoping I didn't goof up the timing.

Awww... Thanks Sheila... I will have to go search for your bag tomorrow when I have a day off of work. I wish I had the time now.

I apologize that I haven't been around much... My PTR has been quite busy - and I think about 5 more people, that will be in WDW with me, have started PTRs, as well - so I am trying to keep up over there. I didn't realize when I started my PTR that it would become a part-time job. LOL But it's fun, and I've "met" some wonderful people.

Also, Josh (DH) had neck surgery last Friday - so I've been busy taking care of him and being his chauffeur... He is starting to get quite stir crazy and doing things that he shouldn't be doing yet.

It seems, the closer our trip gets, the faster time is moving and the less I think I am going to get done for it. I keep procrastinating on the T-shirts, and I really need to get to work on them - I don't think they will take too long???

Anyways - I will check back tomorrow and try to find the post with your bag in it. I can't wait to see!!!

Hi Heather, Welcome to the group! I am making your Ariel for the dress you are about to start on. Glad to see you here!

What sizes have been added to the easy fits? I saw somebody else who already mentioned this but if you ordered it through YCMT then you should be able to download it again with the new sizes.

As far as I know, the Vida is only available as a pattern by itself. I've never seen it in a book with other patterns. The only thing I don't like about the Vida pattern is having to trace it and add seam allowances. It is a cute pattern. If you have a coupon that you can use, I'd snap it up!

QUESTION?

My DD4 has had heart issues and more and we just got a phone call from her cardiologist at Childrens Hospital who said that we are go be there for a sleep study in a couple of weeks and she will be coming home with a monitor to wear for a month or more possibly, until we get her issues under control. This means she will be wearing a small monitor and 4 electrodes while we are at WDW and then some.

My questions is, does anyone know any cute and EASY way to make a little fanny pack to put her monitor in or some cute idea for it. It will be a small box, aboua little bigger than the size of a tape cassette box was. It will have 4 cords going from her chest area to the box. She is little and skinny and it does have a belt clip, but it usually weighs down her pants too much and falls off easily.

No advice on making a bag but just wanted to say so sorry your DD has to go through that

I'm going to try to post a few pics. We put half of the pics on my husband's computer to clear the memory card while we were there, so I had to use a few hanger shots since that's all I have until I move everything over. So, here are the 4 shirts, 1 dress, and passable applique stroller tag

I just have to say that I LOVE the bowling shirt pattern. I've made a couple of button-downs for my little guy, and this was just so easy!

Everything is adorable even your bag. I have never hand appliqued so I am in awe of anyone even attempting it.

LEGO DESIGNS!!!

ok. I have not bought anything from this designer, so I have no idea how they stitch out, but I stumbled upon some LEGO designs today.
http://www.sweetpeasplace.com/characters-lego-c-52_169.html

Can anyone point me to a Chef Mickey design, please?? Thanks

Bows & Clothes and SweetPeas have some and Heather has the Mickey Head with the Chef's hat.

I have purchased some designs from SweetPeas as she has some cute ones but I am not a fan of how many thread changes some of the designs call for.

Here is today's outfit. I did the Blue and Magenta designs because my friend's 3 year old is obsessed with Blue's Clues. She's been looking for t-shirts with Blue and Magenta for a while but can't find anything. I guess they are not as popular as they used to be.

Once again this wasn't fabric that normally would have picked for this outfit but I am committed to using up some of my fabric stash!

Is BluesClues still on? I had so many boy BlueClues clothes handed down to me but my DS6 when he was younger would never wear the Blue Dog as he called him.

Is this what you are making? Or similar? I made this for my Niece that I am visiting this weekend.

That is so cool. My DD would love this.

Well I guess it's time to introduce myself and join in. I've been lurking on this thread for a very long time. I'm April. I have 5 year old twin girls who are in love with princesses. We don't have any trips planned, but I love to sew for them Disney related and otherwise. You all do such fabulous work!

So sad that your embroidery module is not working. I don't know much about that machine but do they have something you can purchase to make the two machines talk.

 

[dianemom2]

I also meant to tell Dorrine how much I love everything you've made! My abolute favorite is the pair of Donald shorts but everything is awesome! You did a fantastic job. V's Goofy shirt is so cute. She really did a good job on it.

I took out the pictures in interest of space, but oh my! Your work is beautiful! What pattern did you use for your test track bag? It's adorable! I love the checkered fabric inside the gusset.

Hi Heather, Welcome to the group! I am making your Ariel for the dress you are about to start on. Glad to see you here!

What a small internet world! I'm so excited to have found you and your design. You've been a dream to work with. Thanks so much! Now, you can see your design in action here in a few weeks. I have about 4 rows of smocking left for the bodice, and then I can start on it. I have to get the Mickey one finished first though.

So sad that your embroidery module is not working. I don't know much about that machine but do they have something you can purchase to make the two machines talk.

Thanks so much! I can get the module fixed, but unless I find a computer that runs Windows 98 and has a serial port, it won't matter. The one I was using died, and I need to find a reliable used one, but have no clue how to go about doing that.

At least there are wonderful people out there that are able to help me out and stitch out what I'd want anyway.



Thanks for the welcome you two!

Hello everyone!! I have been lurking on here forever too. I finally bought my first sewing machine for Christmas and I have been having so much fun with it. I am about to start making a Minnie Mouse dress for DD to wear when we are in Disney in March. Thanks for all the inspiration!!!!

 

[cogero]

Welcome to all the newbies.

Please make sure to share pictures of your work we love pictures.

 

[babygus0]

Love the shorts and the capri's. How hard is it to applique on denim?

I also have a 180 I never bought the software....but I do use a magic box to convert my files

I thought I posted a quote yesterday that I had so nicely quoted, thumbnailed, ect....evidently it was only a preview and that I actually didn't post it.

So anyway....love it all WTMTQ now. Love the Olivia.....if I was allowed to buy any more patterns I would get it

Looks like the SE is actually going to get some temps below 50, I'm going to have to dig the coats back out

Welcome! I love it when the small world internet comes into play So much fun!

By Windows 98 do you mean Windows XP? Or is it older than XP? Randomly, we happen to have a laptop we're getting ready to sell that I'm 99% sure runs XP or the one before it.

MUCH older than XP! (you baby you!) I bought a computer in 97 that had the newest and greatest Windows program on it...Windows 98... it was advertised as the last windows you will ever need! LOL!

Sorry...meds are making me loopy!

No, XP is too 'futuristic' for my machine to handle. It needs 98.

Isn't that funny! I forgot about them saying that. I have software in a box unopened that I can't use without it though. I might just invest in a cheaper embroidery only machine. Does anyone here have the Brother Disney one? (Do they even make it anymore?) Any recommendations on a good embroidery only machine that won't break the bank and that goes up to at least 5x7? My 180 still sews like a dream. I just don't know where I'll put a third machine!

Love the shorts and the capri's. How hard is it to applique on denim?

It is not hard at all, it's just time consuming as you have to open the pant leg on a pair of pants or shorts and then put it back together once you are done.

I made these 2 yrs ago

and I made these last yr. for Valentines Day.

Like I said it wasn't hard just very time consuming.

Sorry to those of you who saw these already.
