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

[DISNEYJAZZ]

Hi! I've been overwhelmed with life lately and keep falling behind here. (I don't think I even shared the Halloween outfits I made.) I finally finished my first feliz. My girls are 4.5 years old and small so I made the size 3T-4T. I didn't think it would be so big - the entire overskirt almost fits all the way around her. I think I may leave out the seam allowance for the next one to make it smaller. We are in New England so they will be wearing shirts underneath but the dress is still huge.

[DISNEYJAZZ]

I am behind on this thread again and there's WTMTQ but great stuff posted lately!

I did manage to finish a Thanksgiving dress for Alexa. I probably won't be in a hurry to do this pattern again because it took forever!

It turned out a little more "Little House on the Prairie" than I had envisioned but that may have something to do with the cowboy boots she insists on wearing.

Connor's shirt, before he ripped it climbing over a barbed wire fence.

Here is the outfit I did for Barbara's auction. Alexa is modeling it here.

Close up of the top.

And the capris.

love that dress and it does look really time consuming! i try to shy away form those 'million steps' dresses sicne i have 5 g'girls so i always feel the need to do 'all for 1 and 1 for all'!
love that turkey tee! can you save the fae and restictch it to anthoer tee for next year...?
the Ariel is too sweet!
thanks for sharing ~Beth~

when i made Elli her snowflake gown i decided to make a gown for Kit too...it's a bit wide so i now know i need to streamline it some for Kensleigh,Gracie & Chloe's Our Generation dolls...i got them & Fancy Nancy at the thrift store for less then $3 each.{ not Kit she's from the AG catalogue} Nancy is in great shape,she had soem nai pilish on her eye lids but it came off with remover & magic eraser...i hadn't made matching santa gowns for K,G & C's dolls since i wasn't sure if they even played with them.they are reall into litlest pet shop! but they cleaned out their toys to make room for Aanta and all they kept was LPS,Barbies & the Our generration dolls! so i will make them a simple gown to match . dd Candice siad the whole time they were going through their toys they were like " hey some lil girl will really like this,or really love that" they really got into the 'giving' part of it...and are taking it to the Sal. Army soon...
anyways here's Nancy modeling Kits gown...

i also made an apron /hat/mit for my Christmas class pix thi syear...i usually do santa hat,decorateing tree,rudolph antlers/nose..but we are doing a gingerbread theme this year so i made this for them to wear,they will be in the house area of the class room with cookie cutters,cookie pan & cookies...i'll bring Chloe down from her room and take her pix so i can share it here...she,Brendi & I are in 3 different pre-k classrooms at the center...really nice to have the grands there,Elli and Blaze were there since birth till pre-k but whent to pre-k at a friends class at the hosp. daycare ,so they used to being away from us and allthe teachers who've known known then since before they were born...the Kensleigh & Gracie /Chloe never went to daycare so came to us for pre-k...all adjusted rperfectly!! my sons kids never went there because my dil is weird...it
s really a blessing since i'd hate for others to have to deal with her craziness...anyways back on track...heres the apronset...i have since added a santa hat to the middle cookie and a bowtie to the boy -l,and hairbow to girl -r...

thanks for looking and letting me go on and on...~Beth~

Everything came out great. I really love that crest. Did you design it yourself?

No, I bought it on ebay. I was very worried that it wouldn't stitch out nicely but it worked great.

Hi!


I just got that pouch from Pickle Pie - how did it stitch out? Did it take long? Was it tricky?


So who bought the most yardage of fabric at Joann's yesterday??????

The Pickle Pie pouch was easy. The first time through I needed the instructions, which were very clear and easy to follow. By the third time I used the design, I just breezed right through. I do still have to look up all the sizes for the pieces of material when I am cutting them out.

I avoided Joanns. I do not need more fabric right now. I have a closet full. I need to use up some of what I have in there!!!

Can you point me to the pattern for this one again? I forgot to bookmark it when it was first posted. Thanks.

It is from Pickle Pie and is on their website.

Everything looks great. I can see how that Thanksgiving dress would be very time consuming! But is is so cute! The outfit for Barbara's auction turned out great too. I am sure it will bring lots of bids!

I love everything you've made. What pattern is the Turkey dress? It could easily become a little mermade dress.

Hi

nov26z by 4forSarah, on Flickr

Thanks for looking!

Your dress came out beautiful. It doesn't look large? Anyway, with all that work, they need room for next year. I made this dress with a similar Disney Xmas print, and it's not half as pretty.

 

[SallyfromDE]

I almost forgot. I thought someone might be interested in this. I'd love to have it, but I don't have the money right now. Mulan is hard to find. I saw a peice of satin with mulan on go for $300 about a year ago.

love this dress and love the fabric. Bit too late for me to order that fabric now. I can't find any of it over here as i am in England so maybe next year

Way TMTQ! I can't keep up with the thread these days... Maybe after Christmas and our Disney trip.

Love the Christmas Feliz. I finally got myself a copy of Sewing Clothes Kids Love but haven't had the time or ambition to try anything out of it yet.

Question - If you were in the market for a moderately priced sewing machine, what would you look for? I've been working with a Brother CE-4000 from Walmart for the last 3+ years and it has about had it. The bobbin holder needs replaced because the plastic is getting worn/nicked in a way that allows it to jump its track, and I can't see putting even $40 into a $100 machine that's seen 3 years of near-daily use. I've been happy with it as far as function goes, though, so clearly I don't need anything fancy.

Right now, I have two machines in mind... HSN.com has a good price on a Singer Athena, but it seems like Singer doesn't get the best reviews these days and I do really, really like my electronic Brother. So that led me to thinking about the Brother SE400 combo sewing/embroidery machine. While the 4x4 field isn't ideal the price is right and it does what I'm looking for, and seems to get generally better reviews overall. So, any thoughts on either of those? Other recommendations in the same price range ($350-400ish)?

I loved my SE-400 it was a great machine. My mom is now using it.

I have the predecessor of the se400, which was the se270. I am very happy with how it sews. My only problem with it in terms of sewing is that the metal piece that holds the presser foot isn't straight. It makes sewing a straight line very hard. Now I don't know if it came that way or if I did something that bent it. I've had it for quite a while so I can't really remember. LOL! The 4x4 embroidery field is a good way to get started but I ended up replacing the 270 with something with a bigger embroidery field pretty soon since I loved the embroidery so much! My other thought is to check for a second hand machine on Craigslist. I've seen some very nice machines on there for some reasonable prices. One of friends got a brand new Singer machine that somebody had gifted to their grandchild. Grandchild promptly sold it and it was brand new, never even removed from the box!

The twins earned a Bible with their name on it in Sunday school for memorizing 10 verses...they were so proud! gracie on the left and Kensliegh on the right,poor Kensleigh had an allery attack { as you can see the beginning sof in this pic}sneezed all the way home! I sent their blue /santa gowns home and they had to put them on so they had their bath and rady for bed at 3 p.m. hehe ,thy love the gowns....

TIA ~Beth~

here's the ultrasound pic...not much but it is a baby! hehe 7wks 5days E.T.A. july 8...

Thanks for sharing the baby pic and the sewing school pictures! I am sure everyone had a great time at the "sewing school"!

Here are a few things I have worked on in the last week. First is my DD's Harry Potter shirt. It has the Hogwarts crest on it.

Here is a close up of the crest. It took an hour to stitch this out. But it turned out pretty well. My daughter LOVED it. She snatched it from me and ran upstairs to put it on right away. Usually she won't wear anything I make her.

Here is her other Harry Potter shirt. This one is for the HP movie marathon next weekend.
Front:

Back:

Then I made these to go in my DDs' Rosetta bags. They will be part of their Chanukah gifts:

And this one if for my mother in law:

It matches her Rosetta bag and Patricia tunic that I made earlier. My girls will bring these to her as gifts during winter break when they fly down to visit her.

Great job on the HP clothing. I am sure they will be a big hit! The little bags look so nice. One of these days I will have to try it out!

Great job on the dress. It doesn't look too big from here, and it is nice to have the room so the dress can be worn for longer!

That is a very beautiful thanksgiving dress. Too bad about your son's shirt. I hope it could be fixed somehow. The Little Mermaid set is beautiful!

Thanks so much for sharing the picture! Looks like everyone had fun!


Now I need to finish a couple of projects - my in-law's housewarming gift and a special projecet for a BG family. I need to take my sewing room apart by Tuesday night since my in-law's will be staying with us until their furniture arrives! I have to convert my sewing space back into a guest room. At least I do have a dedicated sewing space most of the time...

 

[billwendy]

Ann - I love that family picture!!!!

YAY for the girls memorizing their Bible Verses and earning a new Bible with there name on it!!!!!!

If anyone is thinking of ordering the pickle pie designs, i found a 20% off code the other day - "rockinfb" - not to be an enabler or anything!!!

So who is all decorated yet?

 

[WyomingMomof6]

Everything is great. I especially love the Thanksgiving dress.

I love how the dress turned out - your dd seems to love it! The turkey shirt is adorable, and I just love TLM outfit you made - super cute! Great job on everything.

D~

love that dress and it does look really time consuming! i try to shy away form those 'million steps' dresses sicne i have 5 g'girls so i always feel the need to do 'all for 1 and 1 for all'!
love that turkey tee! can you save the fae and restictch it to anthoer tee for next year...?
the Ariel is too sweet!

I love everything you've made. What pattern is the Turkey dress? It could easily become a little mermade dress.

I combined the spiral skirt pattern from ycmt with a simply sweet top. I think it would work perfect for a little mermaid dress!

Everything came out great. Boo for your DS ripping his shirt. Is it fixable or totally ruined.

Thanks everyone for the compliments on everything! I do think I can salvage the applique from the turkey shirt and just put it on another one for next year. The shirt is beyond repair, lol.

Sorry if I missed anyone!

Ahh, great job! They look so proud!

The feliz looks great. I quit using seam allowances on all the Farbenmix patterns because they are pretty generous.

The feliz looks great. I quit using seam allowances on all the Farbenmix patterns because they are pretty generous.

That's smart. The last Vida that I made for my niece was so wide on her! Maybe on the next one I will only add the seam allowances for the length, not the width.

 

[v.t.]

Have any of you made an autograph quilt? My DS wants to collect autographs and I was trying to think of something different. I was thinking of embroidering each square with the character, to go with the autograph. Has anyone done this? What size of square would you recommend the characters signing and best fabric pens?
All of you do such beautiful work. I am so jealous. (I have 3 boys, so no ruffles in this house).

Thanks so much!

 

[smile5sunshine]

Sorry I am so behind! My family traveled to visit with my grandma for Thanksgiving and she does not have internet. But I LOVE visiting with my grandma so it was worth it!

There is WTMTQ and it's all so fabulous!

I haven't so much as looked at my machine since we left. After we came home there was all the usual "catch-up" stuff to do. Then I've also been trying to put up our decorations. Its much easier to work on getting them up after the kids are all in bed, but that's my usual sewing time, so no sewing yet! I decided to forgo the tree this year, as it's HUGE and there was no good place to put it where I wouldn't have to tell my DS(1) "NO!" every 5 seconds. That doesn't sound like a fun way to spend my holiday season.

Again, I love seeing all the wonderful things you all create!
