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

[Disney52303]

I love the Mickey bag - beautiful!



My Joann's can fluctuate with selection - try Walmart and/or fabric.com

Well, I have finally cleared some of my t-shirt backlog:

All of the shirts are from various Ottobre patterns - best source for boy stuff ever!

Amazing as usual! Chase saw the R2D2 and said "can I get that"... Maybe my next design though on a store bought shirt. I have not yet worked with knit.

I have started this post two or three times over the last week and always end up being distracted.
As most of you know my oldest was due to have her first baby on July 29th.
She started with a headache on Tuesday July 3rd, I insisted she go in for a BP check when she still had the headache on Thursday the 5th. On the morning of July 6th they told her she had developed pre-eclampsia and they delivered her by emergency c-section. I was at the hospital with her and they wouldn't wait for Daryl to arrive so I was in the OR with her.
He was 36 weeks and we were a little concerned about lung development and whether or not he would have difficulty. Thankfully, he was perfect needed no assistance of any kind.

Unfortunately Rachel had a lot of difficulty, her kidneys and liver started shutting down and it was 48 hours before her kidneys corrected, her liver enzymes were still elevated when she was discharged. She will have her levels checked again in another week. Whats crazy to me is that she is a perfectly healthy, she was actually training for the princess half marathon when she got pregnant and continued to exercise through the whole pregnancy. She ate right took no meds, she did all the right things! She is now the poster child for the phrase, you just never know!

Now that things have settled down a little I have some sewing to do, I was in the process of making a diaper bag and a changing pad. I'll post those when I finish. Now to go back and catch up on everything I missed.

Congratulations, what a sweet guy! I hope Rachel feels better soon, poor thing.

I will go back to check all of your fabulous creations, but I wanted to say hello! I have been on quarantine for almost a week now as I caught a horrible case of viral pink eye! I haven't been able to be near the kids or touch Marilyn or Gordon (my sewing/embroidery machines!) I still have tons of outfits to finish and we leave Saturday morning!!! The good news is that my eye is doing much better ahead of schedule (they wrote me a note to miss two weeks of work!) and I should be able to go back to work tomorrow! Keep you fingers crossed that the kids stay healthy for our trip!!

Have an amazing trip if you aren't on before you leave! Feel better!

I have to share my wonderful news.

I have been wanting a 6x10 machine for a while. DH had said I could go upto $2000. Well I had my eye on a Brother 1500D. Wasn't sure the price and of course my local dealer doesn't sell those. Plus they added it would be alot more than what I had budgeted for. ---> This was on Saturday.

I get a call that someone came in today to trade up and they had a 1500D they were trading in. They are going to inspect it all and I can get it for $1700 and a bonus it only has about 25K stitches.

The only downside is it won't be warrantied... so I need lots of PD that I made the right decision.

ok ok ok, please don't shoot me, I am sure there is somewhere in the 190+ pages but I haven't gotten through all!

But where do some of you look for your Disney fabric? We were at Joann's today and well if I wanted princess stuff I'd be golden, there were also Cars, Toy Story, Star Wars and Winnie the Pooh. BUT I want some generic Mickey or his gang fabric (cotton like for quilting, not flannel). Do some of you use websites? Does our Joann's just stink They even expanded after it flooded in Hurricane Irene but poop for Disney fabric!!!

Glad you were able to find some. Not to make you start an addiction but....
when a new line of Mickey or Minnie fabric comes out I usually buy more than I need at the moment. Just in case it sells out

Well, I have finally cleared some of my t-shirt backlog:

All of the shirts are from various Ottobre patterns - best source for boy stuff ever!

OMG I just love these shirts. I may have to look into Ottobre patterns too. I think my boys would love these patterns and you did a fantastic job on all the colors.

Does anyone know at what point in selling my sewing and other crafts I would need a tax I D number? Does it cost anything, do you suppose? It just occurred to me that it might be necessary.

TIA

Lori in East Podunk

Way back before I had kids & sewing, my mom and I use to make candles. We wanted to do a show and needed a sellers permit from RI. I think I paid $10 and had to submit any sales tax we collected. I sold one item... so I think I only owed $.70

What a beautiful baby. How scary about your daughter. My friend had this same issue and it took almost a year for her liver count to get back to normal. She worked out alot too before & during her pregnancy and develop preclampsia and gestational diabetes.

Sending PD that everyone is healthy for your trip.

I wasn't sure what to make for our Animal Kingdom day. Something about a couple of little boys in a leopard print seemed odd to me. So I came up with this. I got 1/2 yard of cotton canvas, the D-rings, and a couple buttons. I used the bowling shirt pattern for the sizing and found a tutorial online to make pleated cargo pockets. Figured I should learn to make pockets, but I can say it is not my favorite thing. Still, I might make some shorts to match the previous shirts, and pockets would be nice.

One vest is done, the other is nearly done except somehow I managed to lose an entire front panel piece, already cut, into thin air. I have searched high and low in my bedroom (which is where my sewing machine is set up for now.) and it's just GONE. Hoping I don't need to go buy more canvas.

That adorable

 

[Sandi S]

I'm caught up on my cut projects and ready to dig into my fabric pile!

I made myself a nightie out of Tinkerbell knit fabric - I really like this pattern (Butterick 5723) - quick & easy and comfy!

I finished some shorts out of a Calvin Klein patchwork plaid (Fabric Mart...awesome source - this was cheap but great fabric.). They are McCall's 6548 which I have made several times already.

The Wall-E shirt turned out really neat with the mixed fabrics - it's Ottobre Spring 2011 design #25.

The Mickey/Star Wars shirt is from the summer 2005 Ottobre (as was the Goofy shirt I previously posted and the Nemo shirt in the picture above).

 

[dianemom2]

Everything looks great! I am very far behind again!

I love Cheryl's bags and Sandi's shirts. They are great.

So many other cute things have been posted including the adorable new baby Matthew!

I loved the safari Mickey vests. What a great idea. I think matching shorts would look super!

I just wanted to stop by and post to say hello. I also wanted to let everybody know that for the next several days Lynniepinnie is having all the designs on her site on sale for .50 cents each. She's got some adorable designs and I've never had a problem with how her things stitch out.

As always, your shirts are fantastic! I LOVE the Star Wars one! You should get a commission from Ottobre for all of us who may end up buying it!

Awww! Congratulations! I hope Mommy is able to recover smoothly and that you all enjoy your newborn snuggles!

These all turned out so cute! I love the hairbow, too!

Very cute idea! I've seen some of the hardcore Dis-er guys wear these kind of vests in all the parks, so you might have to fight them NOT to wear it to other parks.

Question: Where might I find the yellow and red fabric for Woody's shirt in cotton? I'm trying to gather my supplies for my son's costume. TIA!

 

[zuzu310]

I just wanted to thank everyone for their input on rotary cutters. I played around with my old rotary cutter and an old mat from my very very short quilting days and decided to invest in some Gingher scissors instead. Gotta love 50% coupons from JoAnns! I should have more things to post soon. I am starting to feel like Cinderella's mice. Also, I am coming to terms with the fact that I have a serious fabric addiction!

 

[ban26ana]

What is a good pattern for a preschooler-sized park bag? My girls will be 3 and 5 when we go in December. I'd like them to have something to carry their autograph books (5x7), Epcot passports, and some pressed penny tubes. I figure something that zips, and maybe has an adjustable shoulder strap so they can wear it across their bodies. (Oh, and something easy, because I'm not all that good at sewing lol!) Thanks!

What a handsome young man! I love his hair Preclampsia has no boundaries -- it strikes the healthiest of people. I'm just glad everything turned out well and that Matthew is healthy -- very sorry Daddy couldn't be there though; that had to be rough for all and "rough" is putting it mildly. I hope your dd does nothing but improve.

just some things I have been working on...

Lovely work! I adore the ruffle son the hem of the last shirt.

So sorry you have been sick. And yes, viral conj isn't much fun b/c it can't be readily fixed like bacterial can. Just glad you will be better for the trip

QUESTION
Does anyone know where I could find applique designs of Mushu and Mulan's Horse?

I thought I had seen Mushu some where but can't find him,

Heather has Mushu:

The vests are adorable -- You will find that other piece. I can almost guarantee it's right in front of you.

Happy Belated Birthday, Andrea! Hope you had a great day and are feeling better from the surgery!

Thanks. I get my sutures out today. The surgery wasn't that bad, but the antibiotics don't like me. THankfully I take my last one this morning. They make me feel like I have pregnancy sickness.

I hope the machine stitches great and that it works out for you You have a really nice dh to allow you to spend that money. Perhaps you need a new house in Saunderstown -- I promise you'd be in love with the sewing area in the basement and the floor has radiant heating There is tons of counter space for your machine collection and tons of cabinets for your fabric!

 

[Disney52303]

Here's a few things I have made lately (not the best picture quality):

Three peasant length pirate skirts for a family on our upcoming cruise:

My first attempt at making an FE, this is for us and I'm in the process of one for another family! I did our pocket first, hence my mess up on the spacing of the letters, should have been slightly higher!

Embroidered shirts. My dad (who is NOT a big Disney fan ) and his GF are cruising with us. DD and I decided they needed at least one Disney thing and he does like Donald so I made these. And the Disney logo one is for DH because I LOVE this design

And finally, our Alice/Mad Hatter shirts which we should be able to wear twice, two different events. I made a headband to match my shirt. This was my first attempt at a men's button down, I had a tough time with the pattern and sort of fudged it around the collar. Next time I may try and modify Carla's pattern for an adult (using my pattern templates) and follow her instructions as they are SO much easier!

I wish we could afford a bigger house sometimes and to have a huge space to sew would be awesome.

If I remember correctly, I don't think anyone has ever found some but instead had to make their own with yellow fabric and drawing the lines with fabric markers.

Ooo, yay for a new machine!! I hope it all works out for you!

[cogero]

Michelle I hope it all works out with the machine.

Jessica has a full body Mushu so I am happy I love how her stuff stitches out.

I am in a frenzy finishing for our cruise. I have a bunch of things still to do.

 

[ItsyBitsy]

Ooooh that IS a really cute machine, love it!!! What a score - did this come from your family member or a friend?

I found it on CL. Someone was giving it away. They had posted saying that it was their grandmothers who recently passed away. They said they didn't see and they really wanted someone yo have it that would use it. They said they didn't know anything about it and they weren't sure if it worked or not. It didn't have a control foot. I went to just about every sewing machine repair and parts shop in the Kansas city, Missouri and Kansas city, Kansas area before I found one that I could afford and that worked with it.
luckly everything works great it just needed some serious cleaning and a little bit of oil. The guys at the repair store said the machine looked barely used.

After finishing my 10 bowling shirts for my kiddos, I have received a request from others in our travel party (Husband, friend and her husband.) to make ADULT sized bowling shirts. So, does anyone have any advice in where I can find a similar pattern for grown ups. I am using CarlaC pattern.

And the bonus question, the requested: Monsters Inc or UP, which I cannot find fabric for either. I don't have an embroidery machine and don't really have a budget for such right now. I looked for balloons fabric, figuring I could use that, and even that is slim pickings.

This seemed like such an innocent thing, make a couple shirts for my kids for Disney. I am now more than 20 shirts into it and now I guess I am making adult shirts too. Perhaps an embroidery machine is inevitable. Sigh.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I don't have the budget for an embroidery machine either, so I've been buying iron-on embroidered patches. I've purchased a few customs (I've specified colors, fabrics, etc) through several different sellers on Etsy. I figure I can just sew them onto my projects. They aren't cheap, but I figure they are cheaper than buying the machine, fabrics, thread and designs for my own machine.

See my post a couple above, I made DH and DS both shirts. I bought an adult shirt pattern at Joann's for 99c on sale.... I have the templates now and will modify to stitch using Carla's pattern as it is SO much easier to follow.
