Disboutiquers part 3 (Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes)

[glorib]

This was the pattern I used for DD #2 outfit, you are right it is very easy to do. I didn't do pockets on mine cause.... well I messed up the pocket and thought it looked soooo cute anyway, so I left it off, see mine....

Very cute! Yes, I think the dress is cute with or without the pockets! I'll probably do several more and make only some of them with pockets (only because DD seemed to really like the pockets, otherwise I'd probably skip the pockets on all of them!)


We just finished watching Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium and put the kiddos to bed. I'm hoping that since they were up late, they'll sleep in, but I'm not holding my breath. Early risers, those two! Anyway, I thought the movie was pretty cute!

This set is the first from my "OK to Wear Every Day Collection"

Can you tell she's FREEZING?

That's perfect for every day wear collection. We love Dora around here!

to you on your birthday- Angela!!!
Hope you had a great day!!!

Happy Belated Birthday..hope you had a great one!

I've been lurk... er, I mean, admiring everyone's work here for a week or so and thought perhaps I should jump in and introduce myself.

Hi, I'm Heather and I'm a proud mama of two sons and a daughter. And a huge Disney fan. All the beautiful work you've been posting has inspired me to start sewing again for our upcoming trip. My daughter thanks you all for this. The jury is still out on my husband's opinion.

Welcome!!

I have finally finished something new:

This is my first ever attempt at applique (albeit a pathetic one):

I think that looks great! Great job on the applique....

I found this site and just the wrong time......This is the end of my first week back at work after maternity leave. I've spent most of today catching up on all your posts and not sewing as I'd planned!!!

To everyone, there are some fantastic outfits posted - I'm jealous of you all. And not just the sewing, the photography too. DH likes messing on paintshop so I'm going to show in your piccies tonite and tell him I want something similar!!

The plan for this weekend is to make a little sun dress for Hope but I've also just been and brought the A-line dress and Easy-Fit pants patterns from YCMT so I might need a little visit to the shops for more fabric!

In the meantime I thought I'd post a photo of the last quilt I made. I found the pattern a couple of years ago and had grand plans as I'd just found out I was pregnant. I miscarried a little while later and didn't really want to make a baby quilt so I made this for an older girl for the linus project.

I've also got a photo of Hope. Her name just appeared, I can't really say where from! I was adamant that I wanted a name that couldn't be spelt wrong or shortened. Her middle name is Amelia which is a great-great grandmothers name on both sides (but funnily enough we didn't know that when I picked it!).

The quilt looks great...and your dd is just adorable!

Both of these are from New Look 6796. Very fast and easy!

This one can be for "everyday"

This one probably NOT for everyday, being mainly ivory and all. . . Maybe Easter? Not sure yet. It's kinda casual for Easter.

Back to the machine! Got another top to whip up! This next one will be an apron top with some super cute cat fabric. another for the "everyday" collection.

Love, love the monkey outfit. That is so cute...I will have to see if my Joann has the monkey fabric next time I am there.

I just have a few minutes, so I haven't caught up yet. But, I just wanted to show you guys what I was working on yesterday. I've had this fabric for a while and I love it so much that I wanted to make something really cute. I used CarlaC's new pattern and embellished it a bit. I just love it! I put a snap on the back of he little jewel flower on Hello Kitty's head, so I can snap it off for the wash.

Here's my pitiful attempt at artsy-fartsy photography:

My cutie-pie:-------------------------------Close-up of the dangly things. Tessa wanted a purse and a heart, and butterflies. So this is what I did:

Now I'm off to my mom's to eat (core) pizza with Teresa and everyone!
I gained 1/2 pound this week

That dress is gorgeous and love the fabric! Core pizza...is this homemade pizza or store bought?

 

[2cutekidz]

I put mine in the washer with everything else. and then NOOOOOOOO Dryer. some dryers eat the tulle. Lay flat and fluff the tulle up once dried.
Lori

Thanks! Good to know about the dryer!!

 

[eeyore3847]

Love everyones monkey prints!! Seems the "drama Monkey" is popular!!!!

I love that fabric!

That is so pretty! I Love the hello kitty.

Alright DD is home and here is the outfit that I made for her to wear to school. I hate that I am limited on what I can do for her for school but I think that this turned out pretty cute.

The socks are the ones that I made for her for Valentine's Day. She decided to wear them today.

love the sockies! Its great you can still make her stuff for school. She is so darn cute.

 

[PrincessKell]

look what came in my mail today! I am so excited. Georgia was in heaven and said IS THAT FOR ME?!@??! She thought it was a blanket. hahaha there are 3yds. I told her no and I was going to make her something. I think a cute little knit skirt and some lounge pants and a tank or something paired with some pink.

I've been trying to find some of the Friends Around the World fabric to make an outfit for Epcot. Can anyone tell me where they've bought it and if it's still available?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Although last year Hancock had a red with kids faces and flags and then a white coordinate with "words" on it, this year Joann's has a light blue version of the fabrics that is really cute. They have it in the novelty prints section and through today they have a Coupon Commotion sale going on where they have coupons for 40% off. So try at you local Joann's also they can order it for you and it would come in on the next store shipment or 2. Let me know if you will need the SKU numbers for them and I'll look for my receipt from a few weeks ago...Nana

I just loved this fabric. I think the bright colors sucked me in.

I love that fabric. Too cute

I put the Mary Poppins dress under it to see how it would look. So, if you see any red bows, that's why!:

This came out great!

Beautiful! Great job on whipping up. I love the decorative stitching.

Megan is sooo cute as usual! Sydni saw her pic earlier and said, "Mommy who is that?" I said, her name is Megan and she said "Well she's pretty!"

Aw, Sydni is so cute! Megan has a Sydni in her class and I have spent a good portion of the year trying to get her to pronounce it correctly. She still calls her "Syndi" and "Syndni" sometimes, so be prepared when she goes to school.

I found the Vida pattern on Fabric Hound.com but I am having trouble with their site so I can't order the pattern. I might have to CASE Stephres again.

Go right ahead! I was CASEing Tom.

That is adorable!!! Megan looks so cute in that! I like the way you did her hair too. I also like these different views of your house we've been getting lately!

Hee, I like outside the best for pictures but on the rare occasions it's not available I try not to bore you with the same view of my pantry doors!

LOVE!!!! And w/scraps no less! That little Megan is such a beauty! Your cabinets look VERY familiar! They remind me of mine in Florida too! I hadn't ever seen cabinets like that til I lived there, aren't I weird? Must not have gotten out much...

Thank you! I hate those cabinets! Our kitchen is huge though and it would be a fortune to replace them so we are stuck with them for a while. Every house in our neighborhood seems to have them and one by one everyone is getting the kitchens redone. We are jealous!

That is so cute, your appliqué looks great!

That blanket is beautiful and Hope looks just like an angel-baby. Gorgeous baby!

Very cute! DD4 wants buttons & not the easy elastic straps sadly.

The buttons actually took me less time than elastic straps. Once I got my machine manual out and read it, I found they are very easy!

I think he probably will, but he likes to give me a hard time about it. I'm sure that has nothing to do with the huge pile of fabric I now have stacked in the craft room.

Yes, huge piles of anything tend to freak them out. Mine always says do you really need all that scrapbooking paper? The answer is yes, of course!

These are so cute, I love that monkey fabric!

Megan says that Tessa looks so cute in her Hello Kitty dress and she especially likes the purse, so good job!

Very cute and smart of you to make without a pattern. I can't do anything without a pattern!

I love the kitty fabric, so cute! Is it reversible?

Cute! I can't wait to see what you make with it.

WAIT! WW Core Pizza? I need the recipe.

I posted it back about 60 pages, but it's not REALLY a recipe. My mom makes it. She just takes some oatmeal and powder-izes it in the blender and replaces the flour in her dough recipe with that! Then, she makes her own sauce (pretty easy to do with core ingredients) and we use just a tiny bit of parmesan cheese on top.

Very pretty! Cute straps. I love the fabric too. Is that from Joann's? Did you post the Mary Poppins dress yet? I must have missed it if you did.

Thank you! Yep, the fabric is from Joann. I think I paid around $2/yard for the paisley and $1/yard for the purple and the yellow dot! It's really nice fabric, too. Yep, I posted pictures of the Mary Poppins dress, but I will repost one for yah.

Here's a link to the other pictures on the photobucket site, too:

What a sweet little outfit!

So what I was going to say was I love Tessa's new kitty dress with removable bling! Isn't it almost her BD??

Sounds like you had an eventful evening! Hope everyone is doing better now!!
Yes, it's almost Tessa's 5th birthday. I can't believe you remembered! Her birthday is March 19. I made the Hello Kitty dress for her to wear to her party (at Build A Bear), and for Easter.

Core pizza...is this homemade pizza or store bought?

Homemade, see my pseudo-recipe above!

That is cute!!

Isn't this cute? Cutiesiana on the Design boards made it for someone.

That is adorable! Is that the designer that does the invitations to BBB and the restaurants too?

Oh, so cute! I love the fabrics! very pretty!

Here's another I finished today. I'm on a roll!
I just love these types of tops, I have a feeling Ella will have quite a few for spring and summer.

I just loved this fabric. I think the bright colors sucked me in.

We rented that Wonder Emporium movie tonight, so we're going to pop some popcorn and have a movie night! Hope everyone has a good night!

Too cute!!!! Did you share you name stories? I love the name Ella! Lydia has a chou chou baby she named Ella, and a mini ChouChou she named Ella Junior (which she likes to remind me that her Aunt Heather bought her), and then a little itty bittty fake ChouChou she named Little Ella Junior! It is such a cute and pretty name, just like your daughter!

I know this has been asked a thousand times, but about how much are these custom dresses going for for those of you selling them on Ebay?

THE SITE WHICH MUST NOT BE NAMED!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check Siggys for Ebay usernames

This was the pattern I used for DD #2 outfit, you are right it is very easy to do. I didn't do pockets on mine cause.... well I messed up the pocket and thought it looked soooo cute anyway, so I left it off, see mine....

I love that cute little outfit!!! So adorable!

THIS IS OUTSTANDINGLY GORGEOUS!!!! ​

You guys should see it in person, it is EVEN prettier!!!! You did a fantastic job whipping that up Heather!!!!! Lydia LOVED it too!!!!!!

 

[teresajoy]

I think i have the hang of the pillowcase dresses so far

Here is my question, i like the look of some of these that have added a strip of fabric at the bottom like these (got this from the photobucket page)

How would i do this? I need very basic terms Thanks!!!!!

I hope I understood your questions correctly. You just decide how wide you want the contrasting fabric to be, then add on a bit for seam allowance and hem, then cut the strip to the width of the bottom of the dress and sew it on.
Are you using a real pillowcase or making one? If you are making it out of fabric, I would sew the strip on before you do the seams.

ETA: If you don't want to make the dress longer, make sure you subtract the strip width from your original dress length. (keeping in mind your seam allowance)

 

[2cutekidz]

Heather - your Mary Poppins dress is so pretty! Thanks for posting it again for me.

 

[HeatherSue]

And Heather- My sewing grammy has the middle name Marie same as me so she already got a "shout out" with the name game.

Aww, how special!!!

You skirt is adorable. I am looking for something to make my oldest DD Leanne. She is 10 and we need modest skirts for her to wear to church in the summer. I am soooo tiered of the super short shorts and skirts!

I don't know if anyone has suggested it yet, but YCMT that a tween skirt that's really cute for older girls.
Thank you for finally sharing some of your adoption stories (I love that show "Adoption story" on TV)! I'll be praying about the Vietnam adoption situation.

Mine is usually "RYLIE HIT ME!!!!" I just noticed in your siggy that our kids are about the same age! How old is Sawyer exactly?

Teresa already told you, but didnt' want you to think I was ignoring you! His birthday is June 13. He has definitely hit the terrible twos already. Tessa hit the "terrible 7 months" (when she learned to climb the stairs) and never turned back!

That's my boy!!

DO ME, DO ME!

just kidding!

I tried yours first, but your didn't list your camera!

And, have I ever mentioned that my sister, Heather was named after my Dad's ex-girlfriend?

HEY NOW!!!

That is SUCH a sweet story!

That is very funny, because every time we started thinking of girl names, DH kept coming up with Rachel, Robin, and Raquel, I said "didn't you date all three of those girls?" (he did). I pretty much ignored most of his suggestions

Why do guys do this!?

 

[k_s_m]

WOW!!! That's about all I can say! I have been lurking since we got back from our trip and I have to say you all have been making some AWESOME creations. I haven't touched my machine since we got back and I feel like I need to get back in there! I think I'm going to create something springy today! I found an outfit on that I totally want to CASE! I ordered the fabric a while back, but haven't started on it yet. I think today is the day!

I have loved reading all of the name stories too. So, I thought I would share mine. My name is Kiri Kai - pronounced totally different than it looks. My first name is pronounced like the beginning of chiropractor or Kyra. My middle name is pronounced Kay. My mom read it in a Russian novel when she was pregnant with me and loved the way it looked. I guess she just made up her own pronounciation! lmao Well, my dad agreed to it because he just knew I would be a boy. I guess that didn't work!

So, my entire life, I have been called the wrong name. I can remember BEGGING for my mom to change my name to Mary or Jennifer. But she wouldn't. She always said that I would like it when I was older and had a name different than everyone else. And, I do, but many times I wish it was spelled like it sounds. Especially on the first day of class. Yes, I am still in college - grad school (and I'll be done in May!) But anyway, the first day always goes like this:
"Keeree"
"No, it's pronounced KYRA"
"Oh, it must be spelled wrong. They've got K-I-R-I"
"No, that's right."
"Are you sure?"
"Ummm, yeah. I've had that name for 33 years! I think I know how to say it! "

Well, when it was time to name my kids, I decided that I was going with something that was a little different, but you could look at it and say it! My husband (Brian - so he doesn't understand the obsession) just thought we could pick a name! HA! Little did he know that I would become obsessed. I looked everywhere for my sons name and then woke up one night in the middle of the night with it. Wilson Brady! My husband's g'mother's maiden name was Wilson and my g'father's middle name was Brady. I loved it and it fit all my criteria! My husband agreed because it was 3:00 in the morning. We call him Will - unless he's in trouble, and then it's Wilson - and it fits him! You know that saying "where there's a will, there's a way"? Well, he takes it to heart!

My daughter took a lot longer. My husband wanted to use his mom's name as her middle name. His mom had passed away when he was in high school. Her name was Arlene. Well, we couldn't go with just any first name using an "old timey" name like that as the middle name. So I searched all over and we didn't agree on anything (read that - my husband came up with crappy names and didn't like any of the good ones that I came up with ). So finally, I told him that we HAD to come up with a name because I needed to get to monogramming. How's that for a reason? So one Sunday, I sat down with the wedding section of the newspaper and read every bride and bridesmaid name in there. When we were done, we had it narrowed down to 3. I can't remember one of them, but the other two were Mallory and Mamie. We started talking about them and I remembered that my husband had a great great aunt named Mayme. We called his dad and confirmed the spelling and that was it - Mayme Arlene. And you know what? That name totally fits her!

Wow, that's the longest post I've ever written. Sorry to take up 1/2 of your day reading that!

I just bought some on and some in JoAnn's...it's my favorite...
