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

[NiniMorris]

Holy Moly!! I just went and looked at some of the things in the photobucket account, and i have one question...how long do you think it would take me to make one of everything lol. No joke, great stuff !!! i do want to look at the tutorial for easy applique but it says that link is no longer available any suggestions? Also what things would you not recommend for a beginner, such as trying ruffles, smocking etc.? Thanks!

Lisa

LOL...don't ask ME...I'm a firm believer if you don't tell someone they can't do something...how would they know they can't?

Although, when I am teaching a beginner class...I usualy go with an A line or Easy Fits...both from Carla C!

I did it, Gang!

I changed my Etsy shop name and last night I added some things so I'm open for business. I'd really appreciate it if you'd go have a look and maybe those of you who sell could give me some ideas and/or feedback. I'm adding a couple more items today or tomorrow too. I'm kind of nervous, to be honest. I'm going to feel pretty stupid if I can't sell anything, but them's the brakes, right? For the record, I don't intend this as a plug for my shop. I really just need a little advice or suggestions because you fine folks are the only people I know who use Etsy too!

TIA, everybody!

FYI your cranberry outfit has a $35 shipping charge. I would recommend to correct that. My only other recommendation would be to see if you can rotate those two pics. Your work looks great! I remember you posting that balloon vida.

I will post the link to the tut -- depending on what server you use those links may not work -- I don't think they work for IE or AOL but I have good luck with Safari.

For a beginner I would patterns from YouCanMakeThis.com and I would keep ruffles simple to start with -- one row. I have never tried smocking so have no idea how hard it is. For me buttonholes are easy, but I have a decent buttonhole maker with my machine.

I do somthing similar. I wrap them and write their name on the gift with a sharpie. We have lots of rubbermaid totes and I just put them in there. Or shove them to the back of my closet behind all the clothes! My neighbor has offered to hide some at her house as well. But my kids are only 5 & 3 not too sneaky yet!

Mine are now 7 and 9, so it's getting trickier to disguise things. DD is pesty and while she isn't purposely looking for presents, she is nosey and snoopy!

Not really anything to do with sewing except that my dd came into my closet and saw the ig bolt of horse fleece I had hiding behind the door (which is going to be made into Christmas presents for her). But now I bought her a huge horse purse -- not a little tiny one, a huge one! So how do you all hide Christmas presents? When they were younger it was easier because they didn't accidentally snoop -- they are not purposely snoopy now, but they do from time to time.

In the past I have wrapped things right away in case they found them and then I would put a sticky note on the package so I would remember what was in it, but that was before they could read. I also have the problem of winter birthdays (dd's on Xmas day and ds in Jan) so I just buy things and then divy them up between Xmas and b-day and dd does NOT get her b-day pressies wrapped in Xmas paper.

I have one box in my closet and one box currently in the downstairs bathtub (I mainly use it for storage b/c we only have out of town guests about once a year -- though if Marianne and D come to use my embroidery machine that storage spot may be out -- don't want stinky girls in my house).

Anyhoo, any hiding ideas would be appreciated.

I don't have the patience or memory for hiding things. We have an ipod nano in this house somewher that I "put away" 2 years ago and can't find!
I have a walk in closet that I asked my husband to put a door knob with a lock on. I toss it in there and lock the door. This way I don't have to hide anything and when I'm ready to wrap it's all in the same place!

Lori ~ Beautiful job on the blouses and I love the fabric choices!

Can anyone tell me what I can use on the inside of an applique to make them soft. I did a few appliques and my Grand Daughter had a spot on her chest that was rubbed raw and I'd like to prevent that in the future.

 

[GlassSlippers]

We did her 5th birthday as a half birthday for her party b/c she wanted ponies and weather here in December can be iffy. So we did a June party and we had a big spot of dead grass the rest of the summer from one of the ponies weeing in our yard. I was thankful it didn't rain -- at least 20 kids came and while our house is decent sized, IMO no house is big enough for 20 some 5 year olds! I also usually buy each of the kids one present each summer (usually something for outdoor play).


~~~The thought of 20 some 5 year olds gives me the heebie jeebies! We get those dead spots sometimes from the dog, but in a ring around the dead part, it's the greenest, most lush grass you've ever seen. Quite peculiar!





OMG your mother is going to be the envy of all of us!!! I can't believe she made those! It would take me a year to do something like that. You look so young in the red dress photo but you look just like yourself in the white dress.

~~~I agree! Those dresses are incredible!



Congrats on your shop. I think I missed the window of opportunity to name change. I was supposed to get my business license this week and open a shop, but once again life got in the way. I will try to peek at yours today.



~~~Thanks! I appreciate it!

The shirts are fabulous! Your dd reminds me so much of somebody but I can't put my finger on it -- it will drive me nuts all day.

~~~And thanks again! She's quite a character, my daughter. Our outfits matched or coordinated every day. We even went to the Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique! You will *not* be seeing pictures of that!

One brand is Tender Touch...it irons on the back and stays through several washings...of course you occasionally have to iron it back on. Although I would avoid the dryer with it.

~~~Aack! Thanks for pointing that out! I have no clue how to rotate photos. I thought they'd post the way I took them. <snerk>! Obviously I am not a technically gifted person! I took some more that are horizontally oriented. I'll be replacing those soon!

Happy Veteran's Day to our wonderful military families! thank you for your service to our country!

How sweet of you I was just napping with my military man but the kids came and woke me for lunch. I also just happened to check if you had posted any pics yet and was pleased to see you had a few up.

A lock on my WIcloset might be a good idea!

Dream Weave by Floriani is what to put on the inside of the embroidered shirt. I use Floriani med weight cutaway for my t's and it really softens after washing and my dd never complains (and she has sensitive skin), so I've never had the need to try Dream Weave.

Piper - Awesome dresses, I cant even imagine sewing one of those.

Oooh! It worked, but they're really big! Is that OK?

Here's one more:

Lori in East Podunk (again!)

those are really cute.

My daughter, at the time of our trip, will be 14. But due to endocrine disorders as well, she is size 16/18 and is 5'6" tall. I will have to check in to this more, as i was told they didnt want "adult " size people dressing up, something about confusion with the other park goers or something. Thanks for the idea




Lisa

they don't want adult people dressing up AS one of the characters. She can dress up in Character themed stuff all she wants.

 

[tricia]

Lisa - I went back and quoted some of the stuff that Sally has done for her daughter. She is not as old as yours I don't think, but it may give you some ideas of themed outfits that you can do.

Kirsta and I are home. I thought we were going to have to stay, I got incredibly sick. Started with a bitty cold that I got after the drenching rain in Epcot on Monday. Felt a little bad, but could make it around the parks okay. The bed was dreadful, my back was aching, so they put a egg crate on it, helped some, until we went to the Halloween party on Friday, I went to get out of the Pirate boat and felt my back pull. Major pain the next 2 days.

But here is my fashion report:

Saturday we went to AK, this is an old standby. I had to do a new shirt for her, and did the applique on the front. It worked pretty well. This outfit is always a huge hit, they cast members love it and always say they never see Lilo:

That night we went over to Park Fare, I couldn't get ADR's so we took our chance and were seated after a short wait. Her dress got alot of attention. Lady Tremaine asked me if I could make her one. But I pointed out Cinderella was in it. She gave the funniest look and said "no, something like this will do", pointint to her own. The applique on the jacket came out really bad. I didn't use spray adhesive and it buckled. So I washed it and made it look worse. But it looks okay from a distance and I only paid $4 for the jacket:

The next day we went over to Epcot. This was the outfit from ****! I didn't make it to the last minute and discovered I got the wrong size pattern, so I enlarged it. Well, the enlargement could have fit me. So I had to cut it all down. Then I realized I didn't have ribbon to make the fabric, so I used clear elastic (for the bra straps) and it broke on one side. I would like to make it again, or remake it. The fabric was perfect. I put a sheer with little slubs of something all over it. But it looked nice. Her hair made a huge impression on everyone, they thought it was real.

The next day we head over to the MK. Again that hair made a huge impression. Rapunzel loved her hair. We had cast members follow her to tell her they loved her hair. I think Heather Sue should make some flower clippies so girls could Rapunzel thier hair.

Wednesday we went back the MK, the pictures with Belle were not that great. Apparently I can't sew on buttons. I had one fall off when I washed it before leaving, and it fell off again in the park:

Thursday we went over the Studios:

Friday we went over the Typhon Lagoon and then the Halloween Party. I was dispointed in the party this year. I usually love to go see Tarzan, but he was absent:

Nothing special for Saturday. We went over the Village to do some shopping. Then back to swim at Pop. We had a great room, and Kirsta being old enough was able to go to the food court by herself and do some shopping in the store.

And then we went home on Sunday. I have to show you our new luggage because we think they are cool!!

 

[belle41379]

She made all my clothes. I wish I had half her sewing ability!

These are AMAZING!!!

I changed my Etsy shop name and last night I added some things so I'm open for business. I'd really appreciate it if you'd go have a look and maybe those of you who sell could give me some ideas and/or feedback. I'm adding a couple more items today or tomorrow too. I'm kind of nervous, to be honest. I'm going to feel pretty stupid if I can't sell anything, but them's the brakes, right? For the record, I don't intend this as a plug for my shop. I really just need a little advice or suggestions because you fine folks are the only people I know who use Etsy too!

I'll go check it out! I've thought about doing this many times, but haven't had the guts.

"We" are about half way through the film shoot, so I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel and think I may survive. I had a number of projects leading up to the film shoot including my often CASEd plunger, tree stump (soon to be often CASEd), dragon puppet (which used up many brain cells that I will never get back), four costumes, meals, gophering, yadda yadda.

I've done a few disboutique drive bys, but haven't really lurked too much, so I'm way behind on "family" news and sewing creations.

Anywho . . . . Here's a brief glimpse into my recent world.

Notice the dolly tracks on the ground. They're 12' long and my son brought them home from NYC the weekend of the snow storm, sticking out the sunroof of my car.

The soundstage -- formerly our family room.

My husband built the sets and my son painted them.

Now . . . on to the sewing

Cast and crew are working for room and board so my son thought gift baskets would be nice. I got popcorn buckets and "grass" at the dollar store.

. . . added some Saratoga brochures, a post card, Saratoga water, Saratoga (the birthplace of potato chips) potato chips, horse pop and pig poop.

. . . some other stuff

. . . put it in the bucket

. . . and put it in a bag I made with the name of the film.

I made 16 of them, and like any good sewing project, it took LONGER than I expected.

Gotta run and put lunch on for them.

I'll be back.

WOW!! Cheryl, you have been a busy girl! I cannot believe all that stuff you have in your house for this - I would be going crazy...

I did, sort of, expect to see bars on the window though... Invisible fence?

How are you? You'll be leaving the world as we arrive! I am SO not ready!!!

I did buy a new sewing lamp today though! Costco had one of those Ottlite? Anyway, the natural light lamps, for $17.99!!! My floor lamp that came with our house (7 years ago and it wasn't it great shape then) and has been my sewing lamp died and I haven't been able to sew at night or on these dreary days since (I can't see Chips! My parents went to a "Fest" in Saratoga two summers (I think? They go to one a summer with my Dad's online Builder forum) ago and my Mom brought us back some - SO SO SO good!

So, I forgot to post pictures here - I finished the boys Mickey Decoupage Jeans (I did post about doing so, just not the pic

These turned out so cute Marianne - I am so proud of you!!! The boys will be so adorable!

Um - okay - as you all know, I'm currently "banned" from D~'s PTR so I don't see my super awesome park bag before it arrives at my house. That's fine, but I still get email notifications and I just was clicking delete on one when I noticed it said someone spent time in the ER . . .

Can y'all please tell me everyone is ok and I can stop worrying??? I was a "good girl" and didn't read the email notification, but like I said, as I was clicking delete and caught those words . . .

Someone needs to fill me in before I break my promise to make sure everyone is ok!!!! PLEASE!

I am so sorry I worried you Marianne... It didn't even occur to me that you weren't reading my PTR. I am sure that someone forwarded you what happened... I am OK. I am still in a bit of pain, but I feel my crotchety ol' self coming back more and more every minute.

Thanks you everyone for letting Marianne know what was going on. I really appreciate it.

If you don't get the pm let me know and I will c/p the ER report to you -- she didn't want to go to the ER but her symptoms mimicked those of an MI so her doc's office sent her there. Good news is no MI, but also good she went in as she needs treatment. She was sick enough that she needed to rest instead of sew.

And I need to clean instead of sew

Thank you Andrea for letting her know.

Oooh! It worked, but they're really big! Is that OK?

Here's one more:

Lori - I love these shirts! They turned out so perfect!

Love your fabric finds. They are awesome. I went to Joanns today too need to take a picture later.

 

[mkwj]

!

Wow those are beautiful. I can't even imagine how long it took to sew those ruffles. I wish I had my grandmothers sewing abilities. She made my mom some wonderful infant dresses. I should pull them out and take pictures. Some of the work I have no idea how she did it. It was my favorite baby gift for my dd when she was born.

 

[tngal]

After spending the majority of the afternoon perusing the disboutiquers photobucket acct. i have a few questions ....To get an item to applique onto a tshirt or skirt, do you just cut that image out from another piece of fabric and use the bond on the back ? what do you recommend?

also, if i see a dress or something on the photobucket acct. that i want to find out where/how to get the pattern for it, do i post the pic from photobucket or just ask on here and describe it? I found a sundress that had simba on it I DEFINITELY want it for animal kingdom!

Thanks!

[squirrel]

I'm finally ready to start making some Eye Spy Bags!

I have searched and can't find the tutorial I remember seeing months ago. I think I remember how. The person folded over the fabric for the top so that the vinyl wouldn't stick.

What kind of fabric do you use for the Eye Spy Bags? I was going to use cotton but it seems like none of the tutorials use that.

 

[miprender]

HI! I've been lurking on and off for a while but I think I'd really like to join in on all your fun if you'll have me.

A little background about me:

I am a SAH, homeschooling mom to 4 kiddos DD(8), DD(6), DD(3) and DS(1). My grandmother taught me the basics of sewing and crochet when I was younger, however I didn't really start sewing until after my 1st DD was born, and even then it was just a project or two. I finally really started to take up sewing when my 3rd DD was a baby. She was my 1st baby who was cloth diapered and I learned to sew many of her diapers. But as my kiddos are getting older, I would really like to learn more about garment construction so I can sew clothing for them.

Thanks to this group, I found CarlaC's patterns and sewed my very first pair of Easy Fits. They turned out great. I'm making some fleece pjs for my DDs:

Great job on the easy fit pants. Once you do one they are great and can sew them quickly.

"We" are about half way through the film shoot, so I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel and think I may survive. I had a number of projects leading up to the film shoot including my often CASEd plunger, tree stump (soon to be often CASEd), dragon puppet (which used up many brain cells that I will never get back), four costumes, meals, gophering, yadda yadda.

I've done a few disboutique drive bys, but haven't really lurked too much, so I'm way behind on "family" news and sewing creations.

Anywho . . . . Here's a brief glimpse into my recent world.

Notice the dolly tracks on the ground. They're 12' long and my son brought them home from NYC the weekend of the snow storm, sticking out the sunroof of my car.

Hello... glad to see you are surviving.

So, I forgot to post pictures here - I finished the boys Mickey Decoupage Jeans (I did post about doing so, just not the pic

Even though I posted on FB just wanted to say they came out great!

Not really anything to do with sewing except that my dd came into my closet and saw the ig bolt of horse fleece I had hiding behind the door (which is going to be made into Christmas presents for her). But now I bought her a huge horse purse -- not a little tiny one, a huge one! So how do you all hide Christmas presents? When they were younger it was easier because they didn't accidentally snoop -- they are not purposely snoopy now, but they do from time to time.
Anyhoo, any hiding ideas would be appreciated.

We have to hide them in our garage but I have to move all of DH's tool in order to hide them. Two years ago we hid DS's bike in DH's car and he never noticed it. We just threw a blanket over it and was none the wiser

One year she lost my "big" present - I think I was 12 - and she finally gave up and told me what I was supposed to have gotten . . . I still had to wait until she figured out where she'd hidden it though I think it was Feb or March before that happened

With all the talk about old Singers and ruffles, I thought I'd show off 2 dresses that my mother made for me with her 1942 Singer. Both of them are made of taffeta and net.

The red one has 3 tiers of ruffles and the bodice has chiffon over the taffeta and around the top. I wore it to Valentine's and Christmas dances.

The white one is 36 rows of ruffles all the way down the skirt. If anyone has ever tried to ruffle regular net, they know how difficult it was. The net was sewn to a net overskirt layered over taffeta. The bodice had tiny ruffles over the bust. My mother often made matching cummerbunds for me and my date (along with a bowtie for him) out of satin when he was wearing a tux. I had to wear 7 hoops with it--the short one that I wore under the red dress that had 2 hoops and the long one with 5 hoops! It had 1600 feet of ruffles on it!

She made all my clothes. I wish I had half her sewing ability!

WOW those are some beautiful dresses.

I did it, Gang!

I changed my Etsy shop name and last night I added some things so I'm open for business.

Also what things would you not recommend for a beginner, such as trying ruffles, smocking etc.? Thanks!

I find skirts the easier to make than dresses. You could start with a skirt and make it princessy by using the colors of that princess.

Can anyone tell me what I can use on the inside of an applique to make them soft. I did a few appliques and my Grand Daughter had a spot on her chest that was rubbed raw and I'd like to prevent that in the future.

It is Dreamweave. DD complains that the backside of the embroidery shirts bother her so I have to put that on the back of all her shirts now and I have not heard one complaint since then.

Well, here are my fabric finds -

For appliqué shirts for MVMCP:

Great fabric finds.

also, if i see a dress or something on the photobucket acct. that i want to find out where/how to get the pattern for it, do i post the pic from photobucket or just ask on here and describe it? I found a sundress that had simba on it I DEFINITELY want it for animal kingdom!

If not the attic, the trunk of the car, a relatives house or when my Dad had his own business, over there.

This one is my favorite, from last year. She can still wear it, but she's ALOT taller now. I bought a piece of red knit and I was going to make a band for it (I really want to just replace the bottom), but ran out of time on both counts. I never realized she had such a goofy look on her face.

She is only 10, an easy 5'4" and wears a size 9 shoe. She has a big ole belly that makes it hard to buy things for her. But I have a neice that had the same shape and she lost her belly at 16. So I would think that Kirsta will be to. (I hope).

The Cinderella dress is the Jamie dress from YouCanMakeThis.com, I added the bow on the back, it's the free one from CarlaC. Put some net in it to make it stiff. I also made an attached slip so the dress would be poofy and look a little more dressy since were dining with royalty.

I haven't done hand applique in some time. But use heat and bond lite to fuse your fabrics together. I used to use a coloring book page and enlarge it to the size I wanted. Then you just sort of peice it together like a puzzle. Satin stitch, just a close together zig zag stitch.
