Disboutiquers Part 29 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[PurpleEars]

I have a bunch of stuff to post. I have not been productive I have just been bad about posting (sorry about the big pictures, I made them smaller once but I think they are still too big):

I added the embroidery to these towels for my mom so everyone can have their own towel when she has lots of visitors. Of course she was here a few weeks ago and I never gave them to her.

I tried to channel Andrea and make this tote bag but I tried to modify the size and I made it WAY to narrow. Luckily my DD is a sweetheart and said "I can use it as a beach bag" since it can probably only hold a rolled up beach towel.

I made this bag for my mom. I am trying to use up the fabric from my stash and wanted to try this pattern. I left this in the guest room but I never told my mom it was for her so it is still sitting in there.

I made these pillowcases for a give:

I made this bowling shirt for my DH. I have had this fabric forever with this shirt in mind and finally made it the day before we went to Vegas.

This was the AG outfit I made for the swap we did during the Charlotte meet. This skirt was fun to make:

skirt back:

I made this AG outfit using one of my DHs old polo shirts. It was fairly easy since I used the hem and the collar of the shirt for the doll's shirt. I made the skirt using the leg from an old pair of my capris. Super easy since I used the hem of the pants and just added elastic for the waist.

Here is a picture of the shelf in my sewing area where I store my smaller pieces of fabric, serger thread and ribbon. I am proud of myself because I rigged up the "wire" to hold the ribbon all by myself. I was happy to find those little "buckets" for $1 at Target this summer. They fit my shelves perfectly and they have a little string from where I hung tags to identify all of my notions, etc.

I have soooo many things I want to make and soooo much fabric to use up. Please remind me to stay out of Joann Fabrics!!!

It looks like you have been busy. I really like the bag you made for your mom. I hope she will get a chance to use it soon! I have to say I admire how organized your sewing space is.

That's what happens to me too. I go in for thread or a zipper and come out with several projects to do! I sometimes make a list, but it's not really a deterrent for me. I have a class to learn more about my serger tonight at JoAnn's and I'm already planning to get there a couple hours early to do some shopping! I'm hopeless!!! Good for you for sticking to your list!

Here are three twirl skirts I just finished for 2 of my granddaughters. It's a small start for Christmas.

Those skirts are very cute. I am sure your granddaugthers will like them very much. I hope you had fun and learned lots at your serger class. I never took any sewing classes (unless you count Home Ec when I wasn't interested in sewing or cooking at all) so I am always curious to find out what they teach!

Excuse the interruption to your AWESOME thread (which I have now spent 3 hours reading when I should be working), but I am hoping your lovely ladies can point me in the right direction. I was reading someone's PTR on a wish trip. The kid was in a wheelchair and someone from the BIG GIVE had made her a bag that hung on her wheelchair stroller. Because I am new, none of the names are sinking in with me. I remember it was a KidCart wheelchair. ANd that is the extent of what I remember Anyway, I really want to try to make a bag like that for my daughter who has a similar wheelchair and I am wondering if anyone knows who made it or what pattern they used? I am dying to get out the sewing machine and start sewing for our upcoming trip. If I get the guts up, I will post what I make if everyone pormises not to laugh (I have been known to use glue and/or stick on velcro in place of fancy sewing).

Thanks in advance if anyone can remember the bag I am talking about!

Welcome! I tried looking through the Big Gives from the past 2 years to figure out which bag it might have been and I am coming up empty handed. I have a hunch on which bag it is but I can't find a picture of it! Hopefully someone will remember that bag. Please show pictures of your work - that how we encourage each other to learn and to sew better. Just so you know - glue sticks and stick on velcro are in my sewing stash too (but I found out that stick on velcro can really gum up the sewing needle!)

Edit: I spent over an hour looking for that bag and I *think* I found the bag - is this it? http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=39243944

Just dropping by to say hello. I have been a very bad Disser and have not been keeping up. I haven't been sewing either. I am still not back to my normal self and get tired very easily. I don't work for two full weeks though so hopefully I can clean the house a bit and then get back into sewing. I have a couple of shirts I need to make for friends who have requested and then want to work on things for dd's birthday party. She is having a sleepover but wants way too many kids over -- I'm making her limit it to 7 and we're doing a puppy theme so I'd like to do puppy shirts for all the girls since I own most all of Heather's dog designs. So hopefully tomorrow I can start to get busy with my embroidery machine again!

GOTEAMWOOD -- I LOVED your pics and seeing all the outfits in action

I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well, good luck with your shirts and the sleepover.

I finished two projects today. The first one is the Oliver + S ice cream dress pattern. I have had the two cupcake fabrics, cupcake buttons and cupcake ribbon since last summer. I am glad to have finally used all of it. I still have a bunch of the cupcake ribbon left so I will think up another cupcake project at some point. I liked this pattern but next time I will change a couple of things about how I make it. Next time I will line the pockets and turn them right side out to sew them on. It is much easier than ironing down the curves, basting them into place and then sewing them on. Also, the wide band ad the bottom of the dress is made with 4 separate pieces of fabric. There are two outside pieces and two lining pieces. Next time I will cut one wide band and fold it in half down the width instead of cutting so many different pieces.

This one is the Olabelhe Olivia dress. It is hard to see but there are pink flowers embroidered all over the material. I liked the pattern a lot and I've already picked out the material for the next one that I plan to make.

I like them both but that Olivia dress is beautiful with that pink fabric.

The cupcake dress is so cute. Thanks for the tips on how you would modify the dress when you make it again. The ribbon looks very nice on it. I absolutely LOVE the pink dress. It is gorgeous.

I love all of it! I made the same bag for my DD for a diaper bag, it's huge when made in the largest size. Can I ask what pattern you used for the bowling shirt, is it Carlas upsized or did you use another pattern?

I have a special love for cupcake fabric and I adore that dress!!! I also love the pink dress. Great job!!



I love all the things you made! Very cute! And the shelf looks so organized. Love the idea of the little buckets for your notions! Thanks for sharing.

Have you checked youcanmakethis.com you may be able to find it there. I too must confess to using glue and stick on velcro and my favorite, double stick tape.

Purple ears! THats it! ???? Miller in MD made it. Does anyone know if she still participates on these boards? I would love to find out what pattern she used! You guys have me hooked. I went to the fabric store today. I ended up walking out with nothing due to a little altercation at the pattern drawers I think I will be finding a new store tomorrow Our trip is in winter. I did find some supercute thin corderoy little mermaid fabric that would make cute pants or even a dress. Question. I have a good sewing machine but it doesn't embroider. How much am I looking at cost wise for a decent embroidery machine? I really love everyones creations!

 

[dianemom2]

Both dresses are really cute. I have the fabric in your Olivia dress but no clue what I'm doing with it yet. I also have some of the smaller cupcake fabric I think and will be making my niece a 1st birthday dress from it. I wish I knew what size she would be so i could make it soon but I guess I'll have to wait.

My stores usually just have the pinecones in between the two entry doors. I try to hold my breathe.

I got that pink fabric last spring at the Memorial Day sale at Joanns. It was so pretty and a great price. A birthday dress with the cupcake fabric would be super cute! I had originally planned to make a skirt with the two fabrics but I wanted to try out the new pattern. Our Joanns has them by the front door and by the cutting counter. It makes the whole store very strongly scented.

I don't know the bag that you are talking about but often those types of bags are made without a pattern. Frequently the person who volunteers to sew the bags just bases it on measurements for the size of the wheelchair. I put a message on FB for some of the people who used to participate on here but have moved on. I will see if one of them knows anything about the bag.

Ooops I forgot to give credit for the pattern. I got it from one of Teresajoy's bookmarks. It's just called the layered skirt. Here's the site: http://www.danamadeit.com/2012/03/tutorial-the-layered-skirt.html



It was a tutorial and really easy! I just serged the hems. It was my first time using my serger, so really didn't know if I was doing it right, but I like the result. I'm sure I wouldn't have done 3 of the skirts if I'd had to hem all those ruffles!!

That is a cute skirt. Somebody else posted one that they made from that same tutorial very recently. I keep bookmarking it because it is very cute and looks pretty easy. I hope you enjoyed your serger class and learned a lot.

Question. I have a good sewing machine but it doesn't embroider. How much am I looking at cost wise for a decent embroidery machine? I really love everyones creations!

A lot of people on here have the Brother PE770. It seems to run around $600. There are some less expensive machines but they only have 4x4 hoops which most people agree are on the small size. There is a big difference between a 5x7 applique and a 4x4 applique.

We are staying at AKL/Jambo. I have to find my park ticket and I don't remember where i put it. I haven't had to touch it since last january, I will have to go to storage and look I guess. I'm pretty sure it's there. So much to do beforehand.

I have anew serger and am just learning how to use it. It was stitching fine before but now it is not. It is trimming the fabric and making holes in the material but not actually stitching. We have retreaded twice and no luck. Getting super frustrated.

I have found that if I don't thread the bottom looper before the top looper the thread just breaks. Also, when I first started threading my machine I didn't see a spot where he bottom looper thread needed to go. I can only get to that spot if I use floss threaders.

I'm no expert by any means.

4 retread attempts And now it works go figure

Thanks.

I am glad that I got the right bag! I went through the posts from our Big Give board for that Give. Unfortunately the person who made it did not indicate if a sewing pattern was used. My guess is that she "winged it" using the width of the KidKart.

You can always to applique "by hand" with a regular sewing machine. There is a great tutorial on page 1 on doing applique by hand. Some of the people here do amazing work with applique "by hand" - you would never know that they didn't use an embroidery machine! If you *really* want an embroidery machine, I think most people here are happy with the Brother 770 which does a maximum area of 5x7. I have a machine that does 4x4 max and I have to say I have a major case of hoop envy. However, I make do with what I have. I actually learned to do applique "by hand" way before I had the embroidery machine and the experience is worthwhile.

That is exciting! I guess you will be in full trip planning mode with less than a month to go!

So sorry to hear about the problem with your serger. I hope it will behave for you from now on.

Hope you start to feel better soon.

Well, found my start to a costume for next year at Walmart on Halloween clearance tonight. The ribbon is bright red, not orange as it look here.
....

Well what ever one you pick will be awesome

I made this bag for my mom. I am trying to use up the fabric from my stash and wanted to try this pattern. I left this in the guest room but I never told my mom it was for her so it is still sitting in there.

This was the AG outfit I made for the swap we did during the Charlotte meet. This skirt was fun to make:

I have soooo many things I want to make and soooo much fabric to use up. Please remind me to stay out of Joann Fabrics!!!

WOW you have been busy. Love everything you made. I love the little minnie embroidery on shirt.

But I am jealous of your nice storage shelf ---->insert drooling smiley

Hooray! Sounds like fun. I think an impromptu trip would be a lot of fun, I stressed myself out so much with planning and counting down for 6 months was torture!

Sooo...my photopass CDs came today, and will more than 800 to chose from I picked a few to share. I aimed for 4, settled for few more than that...
(I made them smaller than usual since I already took up so much space. but if you click on them you can see them larger on flickr.)

First, my duo the 1st night meeting the Big Man for the 1st time. It was TOO cute. I am SO thankful the PP photog got so many great ones, since I took exactly 1 photo of this moment. And then 3 days in one of the kids broke my camera. Totally worth the money in my opinion.


And here is the much-requested all of us in our bowling shirts photo. I love this photo and I think it showcases the shirts great too.


I made my friend go meet Sully and Mike W just for the photos. They LOVED her shirt.



And with Donald at our Safari breakfast, all of our shirts together. Can't tell that Minnie mouse shirt was 3 tries and almost drove me to the brink of insanity. Also, the embroidery area is about 3" thick since it is many layers...


My boys got lots of comments on the cute Halloween "Pajama pants" but I think they looked adorable. And when we got home, my husband unpacked them into the PJs drawer so I guess they are PJs.


My favorite shirts (it was a tough choice) for my boys were these pirate shirts. And they got to meet Hook and Smee, which blew their little pirate-lovin' minds.

And Peter Pan told them he really liked them and wanted to take them back to Never Land with him, even though they were pirates.


And our whole group photo at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. I made the boys' costumes, my husband's Peter Pan shirt and hat, my costume and a shirt for Tick Tock Croc (which was green on green and just said Tick-Tock on the belly.)

I was so bummed, I had the boys posing in front of Pirates of the Caribbean in their costumes and they totally hammed it up, the photos turned out so bad, they are so washed out you can barely see. But 5/800 isn't bad...

And finally, the whole fam at Chef Mickey's, you can see my husband's shirt, the boys' shirts and pants and the polka dots of mine, it has Minnie on it, but she's hidden.

we look like a tired bunch who had a very full week at Disney.

As for my little Disney souvenir plague, unfortunately I am still pretty sick. I now have a horrible cough and ended up at the Doctor today because I was coughing up blood. He said it is just a virus and there's not much I can do. Thankfully my lungs were clear and Oxygen levels normal, so no pneumonia. He said it was likely the flu, which btw has been a terribly crummy way to spend the week.

 

[dianemom2]

I have anew serger and am just learning how to use it. It was stitching fine before but now it is not. It is trimming the fabric and making holes in the material but not actually stitching. We have retreaded twice and no luck. Getting super frustrated.

It is definitely the threading that is giving you trouble. It the needle and the cutters are working, then the threading is the issue.

4 retread attempts And now it works go figure

Thanks.

Sergers can be finicky. You will learn what your serger likes and doesn't like after playing with it for a while. The easiest way for me to change my serger threads is the tie on method. But I've heard that messes up the tension for some people. I'm glad you were able to get it going again. Have fun with it!

All your pictures are fantastic. It looks like a wonderful, happy week at Disney! I love the picture of all of you in your bowling shirts. Everything else looks great too!

Sorry that you've still been sick. I hope you start feeling better soon! At least you weren't sick at Disney!

WHOOT!!! How awesome is this!!! You will have an amazing time!

I made my friend go meet Sully and Mike W just for the photos. They LOVED her shirt.

I just love the shirts you did for your DHS day! And that MI shirt is the most incredible shirt ever - of course the guys loved her!

Everything you made was just incredible, and all those photopass pictures are amazing... What wonderful memories!

************************************

I am so sorry - but I jsut have to share one more bag... This bag turned out so awesome, the fabrics were perfect for it, and I just love it... It was my first time using Fairy Frost, and that fabric is just gorgeous. The texture of it is a bit different than what I usually use - but it really made this bag more "formal" looking? I would never use it for all of my bags, however - I can really see certain bags taking on a whole new effect with this fabric.

Thanks for letting me share - again.

The pictures look great ! You did a wonderful job on everything and the bowling shirts look so cool. Everyone look happy to be there. I agree that Photopass is awesome, it's the only way I get to be in the pics too.

I hope the sickness gets over soon. I'm sure you are not glad to have it but at least it waited until you got home. Must have picked it up on the flight back.

WHOOT!!! How awesome is this!!! You will have an amazing time!

As always great bag. I think she is my favorite villain. I didn't even notice the dragon in the corner at first until you pointed it out. It all looks great and the fabric is interesting. I couldn't tell if it was texture or colors until I read what you said.

Just realized last night that I leave the day BEFORE the Grand Opening of Fantasyland. I hope we can get in while we are there and check it out ! Then I will have been able to see Carsland and the new Fantasyland brand new in the same year !!

The pictures look great ! You did a wonderful job on everything and the bowling shirts look so cool. Everyone look happy to be there. I agree that Photopass is awesome, it's the only way I get to be in the pics too.

They had previews of the new fantasy land during the Halloween party. We got to go on the little mermaid ride and walk around the area. The other stuff was open I think but we didn't realize it was open until late so we decided instead to go to the 2nd parade. I would have liked to meet Ariel but the wait was 45 minutes. The new area is very cool though and I really liked the little mermaid ride. I think it's the same as Disneyland though. I would have loved to check out be our guest.
I can't wait for cars land but I'm kind of bummed that one of my boys is probably not going to be able to ride. One is like 39.5 inches and the other is 36 even. We will be going with my brother and 5 year old nephew who was probably tall enough at age 2! I will be sad if one kid gets left out.
