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

[NiniMorris]

I love the idea of the matching large and small Rosetta bags for your files and your lunch. I used to work with a lady who brought her lunch along with a placemat, cloth napkin and real silverware every day. It made her lunch look so much more appetizing!

Hmmm...I don't remember working with you! LOL!

My stepmother grew up in a different era and a different 'type' of household. You NEVER ate ANYTHING without cloth napkins, placemat, silverware....not even toast! If you had cereal for breakfast, you had to have the cereal poured from the box into a serving bowl, the milk pour into a pitcher, the table completely set...then you spooned your cereal from the serving bowl into your bowl, then poured the milk...then had a ton of dishes to do before you could leave!

Some of that stuck with me...I loved to take my cloth napkins and placemat to work with me...even had my own silverware in my office. Every Friday I took them all home and brought them back on Monday! It really made those frozen diet meals taste so much better!

Andrea - I think the Insa would be too heavy with 2 layers of cord anyway. Please post once you get it done (in November of course, no rush)



Dorine, I'm sure your mini Insa is gorgeous, all your AG clothes are.

I have used charm squares not cut for a twirl skirt. What kind of skirt are you making? Unless it is zippered, I wouldn't worry too much about shrinking. Just make sure you wash in cold and maybe dry for a few minutes, then hang.

Question...

Has anyone ever made a stripwork skirt from a jelly roll? I ordered some of the pirate fabric in a jelly roll to make the girls and I stripwork skirts for our trip in March. So, I am wondering, do you wash and dry the strips before you make your skirts? I would think they'd fall right apart and there would be nothing left. Or should I make them a bit big and wash the skirt after I make it???

D I know the answer since I was the one originally asking. The general concensous is no don't wash. I think either Diane or Sally made one in this part a few pages back.

 

[ncmomof2]

I love your pictures!!! You guys are so cute!!!! Speaking of cute, your Prince Charming looks pretty handsome!

!!!

Funny you should say that, he was by far the most handsome Prine Charming I have seen. He was sweet with girls too. In the past the PC seemed rushed.

I made 3 jellyroll skirts a couple of weeks ago. I didn't pre-wash the fabric. I was afraid that it would fall apart. If you are making the skirts with an elastic waist, I think that they would be fine. If you are making a more fitted skirt, it might be an issue. From what I understand, some jellyrolls come with pinked edges but mine did not.

I am sure that your stepmother set a lovely table but I wouldn't have appreciated all those extra dishes to wash! Washing dishes is one thing that I don't really care to do.

I do love the idea of the nice napkin, placemat and real silverware for office lunches. That is so much nicer than eating from a cardboard box with a plastic fork!

Now I have a Question????
Didn't somebody do a tutorial on how to add a zipper to the Rosetta bag? I made my first one yesterday and I really like it. It is for my DD12. When I make one for me, I would rather have a zipper. Also has anybody use webbing for the straps instead of sewing cloth straps? I have some nice webbing in pretty colors that I might use but I'd like to know if there is anything special that I need to do with it when I sew in the straps.

OMG...only 32 pages behind. Just popping in to say hello. I haven't been around much...with the birth of our new grandson (who is now 4 wks old today), lots of orders, a quick trip to Mississippi last weekend, and tons of other stuff going on, I haven't been on this board in a month. I am back now. Probably won't be able to comment on everything but I at least want to go back and see all the fabulous things you all have made.

Believe it or not, that was me who did the zipper tut for the Rosetta. Here's the links:

HOpe that helps.

I don't think that there is anything special that you have to do with the webbing... I added metal rings to my Rosetta, so I could do the adjustable hipster strap, and it works perfectly... I just stuck the tabs for the rings at the ends, and after I'd completely finished the purse portion of the bag, I was able to add the strap - I made mine adjustable, and it's super comfy - If I remember correctly, my strap was cut at 60" to account for the adjusting and fold over at each end. I don't think I did a tut for the hipster strap though??? LOL

Miss Dorrine did that! It 'might' be int he bookmarks. I had saved it as a document and lost it when the computer crashed. I actually still have the computer that crashed sitting on my desk...waiting to decide if it is worth getting it fixed...



As for the dishes...guess who's job it was to do the dishes? At least I had an automatic dishwasher...but all dishes had to be thoroughly WASHED before they went in...

1.)Unfortunately when I was machine shopping Overstock only had two refurbished ones -- and chances are one was the one you sent back! I think my dh only paid about $15 more on Amazon. I can't remember as it was a gift, though I pay the bills and saw it on our Discover.

2.)I always forget about Hobby Lobby. We don't have any here but I forgot they sell some things on line. I got my costume for $1.40 a yard -- it was on sale for $1.99 and then I had a 20% off coupon that included sales. I procrastinating sewing on it though.


3.)Adorable! She looks so sweet in that photo! And I love the fabric -- I have never seen CPK fabric anywhere.

1.)I remember they only had the refurbished ones when you were looking, that's why I checked to see if that's all they still had. Luckily, now they have non-refurbished ones for sale

2.) The poly satin at Hobby Lobby is $2.99 a yard and I always buy it with a 40% off coupon, so it comes to $1.79. They only let you buy 10 yards with the coupon though. I like to stock up when I can!

3.)Thanks!!! I think she's pretty adorable myself! I think I got this fabric at Joann's. It's been a few years though!

Wow, that is a LOT of work and extra dishes for a bowl of cereal!!!

Funny you should say that, he was by far the most handsome Prine Charming I have seen. He was sweet with girls too. In the past the PC seemed rushed.

I'd love to see a better picture of him, you know, for comparison purposes only....

Our first Prince Charming was really cute, but not the friendliest, he seemed a little overwhelmed with everything.
Here he is with the girls, very cute, but he looks nervous

Of course, after THIS wouldn't anyone look a little nervous???

Oh man, that picture still gets me EVERY TIME!!!!!

Then, we had one that wasn't quite as cute, but was SUPER nice, a real sweetheart!

As you can see, Arminda really liked him!

Need some help! I am looking for a machine applique with Eeyore that is either Thanksgiving themed or Fall themed. The fabric we have has leaves.....its going to get worn to the parks on November 30th!! Heather do you have anything like that? By the way, we are using your lab puppy for a tee for my daughter and her new puppy!

 

[GlassSlippers]

Hey everyone,

I have been part of the DIS for a couple of years but am relativly new here. Not completly new since I check an older version of this thread a couple of years ago but haven't been here for awhile. My family was picked to be part of the big give program at the end of 2009 and it is now my intention to give some love back.

I can sew. Made my own costume for the Bristol Ren Faire. But I have actually not made anything in awhile, though I just bought some patterns at Hobby Lobby when they were on sale for .99. I do hope to make my DD a couple of dresses for our planned trip to WDW in 2013 but since that is a ways a way I haven't gone past the planning stages. I have also just started designing some jewelry.

Corrine! Is that you?! I'm Lori from the Disney Store in Gurnee Mills!

[poohnpigletCA]

back from Halloween party in Disneyland. Thank you Fairygoodmother for finishing the costumes.

 

[SallyfromDE]

Why yes, I have done both in cord. For the Insa, it was only the overskirt, the underskirt is in cotton. For the Dortje, the black was from a pair of my cords that didn't fit properly.

Oh I do like this! I've been wanting this pattern to.

We grew up fast food. I had someone say to me today, that they grew up with a plastic spoon in thier mouth and it took her years to get to stainless steel. She was making reference to those being born with a silver spoon.

He looks scared to death! We had one with a slight spanish accent refer to us as "you guys". Somehow, that didn't seem very Princely to me. We had one years ago, tell Kirsta a secret about Cinderella. We tried all week to get it out of her. She wounldn't tell us until we got home that Cinderella sneezes.

He is very princely looking!!!

Yah, I'll admit it, I have a bit of a crush on Prince Charming!

i don't think Heather has one. She has all her designs on her website (not all of them are on Etsy) http://www.froufroubyhethersue.com
I didn't know you had an embroidery machine!

They look so cute!!!

I can't look at that picture without laughing!! That is so cute about the "secret"!!!

 

[chellewashere]

Wow seriously how do you all keep up with this board? Take off a week and fall behind so many pages!!

Love love love all that has been posted.
So great to see the outfits in the parks I love it.

I am falling behind will have to go back and quote when I get a minute..running out to pick up the little one from the bus stop.
Started to make her 1st Halloween skirt, its an Audrey (sp) and I am sooo excited just have to find out what tote I put my interface in so I can finish it.

Just had to share my DD's pic w/ Prince Charming. He was such a sweetie pie and my daughter (3 almost 4 at the time) developed such a crush on him. She even informed poor Cinderella when she came around that Prince Charming was her Prince and not Cindys oh boy think the teen years are gonna be a little hard on this momma!!

Thanks for the Rosetta help. I did not get time to work on it today. I am hoping to get to it tomorrow. I was not thinking of doing adjustable straps with the webbing. I am going to try to put a zipper on my next bag but I am not sure if I will do a recessed zipper like you did. I will follow most of your instructions but since it will be a tote bag, I am ok with the zipper being closer to the top.
