Disboutiquers Part 28 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[TinkNH]

adorable!! I love the fabrics you chose for this...so cute!!

Amazing outfits have been posted lately. I love the inspiration I get from this thread.

I have three poll questions for you today.

1. Which makes you happier?

A. Thread art
B. Needle sculpture



2. In my recently posted bag I mentioned that I included a "dangling" pocket. I'm thinking of making another bag and am trying to decide whether or not to make a dangling pocket or the more standard "embedded" pocket in the lining. Embedded is easier, but the dangling seems easier to access. (Maybe because the purse I currently carry has a dangling pocket, which I like.)

Here's pictures of dangling. Embedded is sewn into the lining.

A. Dangling
B. Embedded



3. Who do you think is the World's Best Hand Model.
A. Me
B. Anyone other than me.


<----there's a fella that doesn't get used enough. He thanks you for your time. (I do, too.)

I have never made such beautiful thread art..but I do have some needle sculptures of my own

I like the dangling pocket, but I personally prefer the ones in the lining, perhaps because they are the only ones I know how to do LOL

You are an awesome hand model

Finally finished this one up today (been working on it for a couple of months now). This is for our 1900 dinner

This one shows how I had to add on an extra panel to the Isla because it was too small (forgot to add on the margins for German designs) so I decided to make it a butt ruffle

This is to show the front embroidery thought it would be cute with dinner

love it! the butt ruffles are so cute! your DD is adorable too!!

I need some advise, please.

I have decided instead of autograph books, I am going to have the characters sign pillow cases. I am going to to white so the color fabric markers will pop. What type of fabric is best? All I can find is the 100% cotton sateen and 60% cotton/40% polyester. Both feel like the markers would bleed. I just can't seem to find regular non sateen 100% cotton.

Any ideas? Would the cotton sateen bleed the markers?

Thanks!

I am almost to the point of going to Joann Fabric and making my own pillow case with non sateen cotton.

theres these: http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/3450-AA.shtml?lnav=clothing.html I dont know if thats cheaper than making them tho.
DD decorated some with markers a while ago and I can go check the fabric composition when shes not sleeping on it...I got them at wal-mart I believe, and they worked fine..I used crayola fabric markers, they were heat set and its been about 2 years and they still look nice and bright. I will check them in the am...

I'm motivated tonight...Monsters Inc. tee for DS#1

Minnie Mouse tee (Butterick 5503 slightly modified - didn't do all the color-blocking because of my fabric)

Back to the sewing machine...

you are a sewing maniac! I love the dress you made for your DD...and the ability to draft that yourself has me envious!


I have created a monster in DD4...she only wants to wear "twirly" dresses now...I think I need to learn how to use the ruffler foot that came with Rosie...and get her re-wired STAT!

Hello wonderful creative people!
I am hoping that you can help me out. I'm taking my little sister to Disney in October for her birthday!

She is a very special person (she has down syndrome) and has only been to Magic Kingdom once for 1 day. So this trip is going to be so exciting - not only do I get to be at The World with my family, but I get to show it to my most favorite sister in the world.

(I have 3 sisters so please don't tell the others I said that)

I was hoping that you guys can give me some names of ebay stores or etsy stores that would help me with some shirts for this occasion. Thanks so much!!!

If you go on the disDesigns board, you will find people who will help you to make really cool customized iron ons for T shirts. The can do your name in characters as well as almost any other design--for free. All you have to do is buy the shirt, buy the iron-on paper, and iron it on! Easy-Peasy!!

Very nice. I love your Minnie Mouse t-shirt. I was just looking at that fabric tonight and couldn't decided if I wanted to buy it. I am trying to be good and only buy exactly what I need.

Have you looked at Ross? I have found some great pillowcases there and they were very inexpensive.

We can't sell on here but if you go to Etsy, I am sure you can find exactly what you are looking for. My nephew has Down Syndrome and he just loves Disney. He loves Its A Small World and Mickey's Philharmagic the best because he loves music. I hope you have a great trip.

Some people need a filter, I swear! I can almost guarantee that the one person who made the nasty comment to start with was a wee bit envious anyways. And after she opened her mouth, well from there, it's like a snowball effect- Easy to jump on the wagon and bash someone before really thinking that an actual person with feelings put time and effort into making something for their kiddos. Forget them and their nasty words... As long as you are pleased with it and your DD likes it, nothing else matters.

Yes, yes, and YES! I admit I let people hurt my feelings to easily too though. But sometimes I just don't understand what possesses people to be such snots sometimes!!!

Hey all, I haven't been on here for a few weeks, life has really kept me busy lately and haven't been able to get any sewing done. I wanted to get on though and ask for thoughts and prayers. I have several friends who work for both Aurora Police and Aurora Fire. I was actually just there and took the test for the Fire Department this week right across the street from the theater and applied for several jobs in the police and jail in Arapahoe County where the suspect is being held. It's been a very rough day here today.

Prayers for you and your family...I cannot believe what happened, I watched the news all day yesterday. We live about 45 minutes away from where the Chardon school shooting was...and there was even a shooting at a restraunt in Chardon recently. I cannot believe that this happened again and to the degree that it happened in Colorado is so terrible and sad....lots of thoughts and LOTS of prayers. *hugs*

That is so precious and so awesome! I know some of the ladies on here have Etsy shops...I would try those or just Etsy in general. A lot of people on Etsy will take custom orders too.

I made this little Alice shirt for my daughter yesterday.. I think it turned out pretty well. I had wanted to make her a bunch of tutu dresses based on all the princesses to wear while at the parks, but then I thought she'd probably be more comfortable in something like this.

I'm nowhere near as good as you all are at sewing.. everything in this thread is just gorgeous! You ladies do great work.

I love this! I think it looks great and is a brilliant idea and if you wanted, you could buy a tutu for her to wear with it over her shorts!

Really cute!

Cute! and I think he likes it.

I love that pirate hat fabric. I have tons of that whole line to make pirate quilts for my boys' big boy beds. Eventually. It is super cute. Love that smile.

 

[pequele]

OMG she makes a perfect little Alice! I agree with the tutu over the sorts perhaps???

oh my son would be so jealous! Pirates! ARGH!!!!!

I went out today and picked me up a little toy!!! Now I get to learn how to do all this stuff you guys make look so easy Does anyone have info on any files for the Brother line? I know some had posted about someone who had a 50 cent sale or something? Also, what digitizing programs do you use? I was tempted to get the "middle of the line" program for Brother, BUT reading the box it said for Windows...I have a Mac. Any help for something out there that will make .pes files? It is the Brother 2800d! Now to go out and get some more thread so I can play with it tonight~~

That's very cute and a good idea. It should be much cooler than a tutu dress. Lots of people us CarlaC's Simply Sweet pattern and turn it into a princess dress. They are cool and comfortable because you make them with cotton fabrics. The pattern is on Youcanmakethis.com and her directions to "princessify" them are on her blog, The Scientific Seamstress.

Really cute!

Another cute outfit Sandi! I love the pirate theme.

Your new machine looks so nice! It was me that posted about Lynniepinnie's 50 cent sale. I think her sale lasts until the end of the day today. I would advise you not to purchase a digitizing program for a little while yet. I would get comfortable with the embroidery and applique process first. See what you like and don't like about other designs. Spend a little time researching the different digitizing programs (lots of them have free trial versions). Then you should purchase a program and start digitizing. There are a ton of great designers out there and it is easy to purchase lots of great designs to get started with. Some designers that I have used are Lynniepinnie, Planet Applique, Frou Frou by Heathersue, Glitzystitches and Picklepie. There are more but I don't really remember them.

Thank you for that! Are they websites or etsy? Where can I find them? Just google?

I believe that they all have their own sites. Glitzystitches might still be in the process of setting up her own website but she can be found on etsy too.

Gracie's pool/beach/water park backpack (adapted from McCall's 6579) - the bottom is plastic mesh which I also used for the water bottle holder on my park bag.

I need to update my blog with the details about this one...oh, and I actually made two of these Star Wars print shorts, but the other kid is at the grocery store with dad right now.

Here is a Snow White dress for my daughter. I thought I had red buttons, but I only had 1. whoops! It's just pinned for now.
