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

[RMAMom]

DisneyLand stuff continued. This is what I made for my DD.

ETA: Sorry for the photo overload. I didn't realize I had so many!

Everything looks fantastic! I love the fabric you used for the camera bag and can I ask where you got the Mickey Head clasp for the tinkerbell coin purse?

The trip was wonderful! Someone donated a stay at AKL for David and Barbara. Barbara absolutely LOVED it there! She is a very reserved person, but when she talks about AKL, her face lights up and she get very animated!!! She woke up every day at 6:30AM just so she could sit out on their balcony and watch them feed the animals.

Someone also donated a photo session with Randy Chapman, so we had a lot of fun with him for an afternoon! I can't wait to see those pictures!!!

I have most of my pictures posted on FB. I know you aren't on there, so I'll have to get some pictures over here! I had thought about writing a TR, but I'm not sure when I'll have time. Maybe I can write up a short one.

We even had a little Dis meet on May 7 at Bomas, that was fun, but it seems that no one really got many pictures!!! Bernadette, Tifani, and April were all there. April couldn't stay long, but it was so nice to meet her!

I think you should be able to see the album even if you aren't on FB:

I don't have all of our trip pictures up, but most of them, and all from when Barbara was there.

Thanks for sharing the pictures with us, it looks like everyone had a great time! A lot of great memories made!

Since there have been lots of bags posted lately, I thought that I would share the stuff that I made for our trip last week to DisneyLand.

My camera bag

Inside the bag and the ticket pocket on the strap

Wallet and small zipper bag

Tote bag

neck pillow and Disboard tag for my bag.

They are all so great! Did you use a pattern for the neck pillow? I would love to make one. I'm so impressed!

Hi all..had a rough day with my Tori last night. She ended up with a 103.8 temperature in the ER last night. Luckily, we were able to go home after a lot of fluids and antibiotics.

Here are my latest projects:

Teacher gifts for the kid's teachers...

Cloth diaper for my niece...

Cat in the Hat peekaboo skirt...

OK total newbie sewing question....

I am having trouble with finishing seams...

I learned how to do french seams, and thats how I have been finishing the sides of dd's dresses when i do them, so no raw edges, and i can sew the seam flat so shes not bothered by it (for those that dont know she has sensory integration dysfunction0
Well i just learned how to make ruffles, and want to do the bottom trim on the next dress as a ruffle,...but french seaming it makes a rather awkward bump that makes the ruffle hang funny... how do i do that? How do you sew a ruffle to the bottom of something without it just being ugly raw seams inside? i am sure the answer is something simple..or i am doing the ruffles wrong...but i am completely perplexed at the moment

both of my DDs 9 and almost 8 have Sensory Processing Disorder, I sew Satin Ribbon or a piece of fabric over that raw edge so it does not rub them the wrong way. I hope this Helps.

 

[mcraft17]

Everything looks great! What program are you using to digitize?

Free stitch era universal. I love it.

 

[PurpleEars]

I need some opinions and be forewarned the following pictures are horrible but I have no one at home to take a pic. I got the bridesmaid dress in so I was working on the sash today. I know the bow doesn't look that great but it's kinda hard tying it on yourself What our your thoughts? Do the tails look too shorts? Does it look too narrow in the front? We will probably have to pin in to the dress because the satin is slippery and the sash doesn't want to stay in place. Thank you for all your help and opinions. I sent these to my soon to be sis in law but I know it will be at least a few days before she gets back to me and I want to be done with these as soon as possible.

I actually like the length of the bow, though I would make the sash part wider.

I missed getting Flora's shirts to comment on. They are so cute Flora! I love the Bulls Eye on the gingham shirts.

Thanks, like I said, I had a "conversation" with my machine since it gave me the wrong colour for the hooves!

I used to post on here a long time ago but have been lurking for the longest time. I love all the wonderful stuff that everyone creates and this is my favorite thread! I got an embroidery machine last year for my birthday and have loved digitalizing designs. Here is two things of many that I have created for our upcoming trip...

My dd's yeti purse

My bookbag to carry all my disney stuff in the parks..

I created the embroidery designs and I can't wait to use them in 11 days!

Wow! Those bags are great. You should sell your designs if you aren't doing that already!

*EDIT* Oh I almost forgot! Yesterday I cut out the top for my DD's Jessie outfit. hopefully I will get some sewing time in tonight. I've been pouring over the instructions for the top (it's McCall's 6022) as it will only be my 3rd time working from a commercial pattern (the 1st time was a DISASTER, but that's because I didn't use the right seam allowance, 2nd time went much better but I made the wrong size so it didn't fit-too big). I think I understand everything though, and hopefully it will sew up really quickly.

Sunshine

Good luck with your sewing! I look forward to seeing the outfit!

When I rejoined this party many pics of the gifted hospital gowns were being posted. I arrived too late to take part in it, but thought it was an awesome idea. The DD of one of my coworkers suffered a tragic trampoline accident yesterday and broke her neck. We don't know how extensive the damage is yet, but a lengthy hospital and then rehab stay is expected. Her name is Amanda, and she's 18...was to graduate June 2, this was a school field trip. So I think she would benefit from some nice gowns, don't you think. I have no clue where to start with a pattern, but know this is a good place to ask. Any hints or tips are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear about this accident. I will be praying for Amanda and her family. If there is anything our group can help, please let us know.

Those are some cute bags and neck pillows! I am sure both of you got lots of attention with those bags. I hope you had a great trip!

Oh my! Time flies as I didn't even realized that trip had occurred already. I still think of Barbara and her family from time to time, so I am glad to hear that they had a great time on the trip.

Hi all..had a rough day with my Tori last night. She ended up with a 103.8 temperature in the ER last night. Luckily, we were able to go home after a lot of fluids and antibiotics.

Here are my latest projects:

Teacher gifts for the kid's teachers...

Cloth diaper for my niece...

Cat in the Hat peekaboo skirt...

How scary! I hope Tori is doing much better now. I really like the skirt that you made! Great job!

 

[mcraft17]

Is this a simplicity pattern? I just bought a backpack pattern by simplicity for our trip Its been so complicated to figure out.

It is a Simplicity #1823 Designed with Love by Sara. It was actually not that difficult although I have tried a different backpack pattern in the past and it was really complicated.

I don't have all of our trip pictures up, but most of them, and all from when Barbara was there.

I was able to see all the pics Thanks for sharing them. I AKL -- I'd eat breakfast out on our balcony most every morning.

And I have to say, I want to kidnap Lydia and take her to Dis someday -- she looks like fun, fun, fun! Tessa is looking as pretty as ever and Sawyer is really growing! I also loved your family blue t-shirts. There were tons of pics I wanted to comment on, but there were so many I can't even remember them all! Loved Lydia's new Mickey ears! Greet that you had a mini-Dismeet as well

I am busy so I am not quoting everybody right now. I'll come back and do some more later.

Andrea, you should stop in your Joanns. I did pretty well on the prices. I think the most expensive fabric I bought was $4.50 per yard plus my 10% off and it was a knit with a pattern, usually $14.99 per yard at JOanns. There was lots of flannel left for $4 per hard, plus 1/2 off plus your extra 20%. Our store was just cleaned out by that one lady. She told me that she has a granddaughter who lives with her because the mom is a drug addict. She sews most of the gd's clothes in order to save money. The things I got were cute and I am sure I will use them. There were other things I could have bought but I wasn't sure I loved them.

Well, the last time Joann's had their clearance at 50% one of the ladies at the store told me someone came in and occupied a cutter for 1.5 hours buying mostly clearance fabrics. Her bill at checkout was over $700!!!!!!!! So I don't think your Joann's is the only one that gets cleaned out. I may stop this morning though -- dh took the kids fishing. I am first going to see what fabrics I do have for teacher's totes and go from there. I want some Snow White fabric too but that doesn't go on sale until tomorrow morning And Hancock doesn't have their discount until Monday

Hope Tori had a restful night and is doing better today.

How I wish I knew how to make cloth diapers when my kids needed them -- I spent a small fortune in them and still have them in the attic b/c I hate to just give them away. I actually need to contact my midwife and see if she can send an e-mail out to her expectant moms so maybe I could sell them.

The skirt is really cute!

DisneyLand stuff continued. This is what I made for my DD.

ETA: Sorry for the photo overload. I didn't realize I had so many!

May I ask what pattern you used for the Tink bag? I have a teen-age daughter who would love this style bag.

Why don't you try ribbon? You could do wrong sides together, so the ribbon could be a decoration on the outside.

I wanted to say I am so sorry Tori wasn't feeling well, sending prayers.

I love your cat in the hat skirt.

 

[HockeyMomNH]

Love the bags..your bags too..and esp the small tink one
I am in NH too

I'm in the Mt. Washington Valley. Crazy traffic started up here this weekend. I think it's going to be a busy summer season.

Love everything you made especially the camera bag, can I ask what patterns you used for this. I could really use a camera bag for several upcoming trips.

I started with a pattern called messenger bag by michellepatterns. The pattern is the size of the smaller Tink bag that I made for my DD. I made the pattern bigger and then added the interior padded pieces for my camera. The ticket pocket, strap cover and key fob were my own additions too.

Everything looks fantastic! I love the fabric you used for the camera bag and can I ask where you got the Mickey Head clasp for the tinkerbell coin purse?

Thanks! I got the clasp on etsy too from the shop bagpurseframes.

They are all so great! Did you use a pattern for the neck pillow? I would love to make one. I'm so impressed!

I just made the covers for the neck pillows. I took the covers off the pillows that we already had and used it as a template to make the new covers. I added a zipper so that I can take them off and wash them. Fleece is really forgiving so it was not necessary to make the pattern too perfect.

I hope Tori is feeling better today!

Those are some cute bags and neck pillows! I am sure both of you got lots of attention with those bags. I hope you had a great trip!

Thanks!

May I ask what pattern you used for the Tink bag? I have a teen-age daughter who would love this style bag.

The pattern is from etsy. Messenger bag by michellepatterns. I've made a bunch of bags using this pattern. It's a great size and perfect in the parks.

 

[Teamtori]

Hi All!
Tori and I are both feeling much better this morning! We just hit up Joann's. I did awesome! I am a veteran so I got to get 20% off my total order, clearance and sales included!!! I ended up with over 25 yards of fabric, two packages of the colored velcro for diapers and a package of heat n bond..all for 64 dollars.

Dumped it all in the washing machine and am very excited!!!!

 

[aboveH20]

My son got back from his whirlwind trip to CA late last night and left at 5:45 this AM for graduation at West Point (the cousin of one of his friends). Coincidentally we got an email that a man (colonel) my husband used to work for is headed to West Point today for his 55th reunion. Since good things come in threes, anyone else headed there? (I'm curious who the commencement speaker will be.)

We canceled our AK cruise.

Instead we're thinking of heading somewhere in New England. If I can't see the Pacific Ocean, may as well see the Atlantic. We thought about Provincetown, but at the tip of Cape Cod it's 300 miles from us.

Sorry you are going to have to cancel your cruise. Will you re-book it? The cruise travel agency that I always use is having a HUGE Memorial Day sale and there were some awesome deals to Alaska. I wish we could afford to go again.

I'd love to see your t-shirt quilt!

Our intention is to rebook, but the ENT MD has said recovery will be measured in months not weeks, so for now we've just canceled. I hope to rebook at some point.

Your wish is granted. Here in the t-shirt quilt I made for my younger son. Don't use it as a model I'm sure the real quilters at my winter group would and if they saw it. I don't think I have the right equipment to properly quilt it.

But, at least you know I wasn't lying when I said I made one
