Disboutiquers part 3 (Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes)

[eeyore3847]

Remember when you're printing a YMCT pattern to set scaling to NONE! It's always set to 'scale to fit page' around here.
So I made a size 6 which is, politely, form fitting and a bit short. But it's probably a 5. The question of the hour - do I make it bigger? (Add width by ripping the side seams) or do I give it up? Good thing I made one before committing an applique to it!
What's even more frusterating is that I measured DD before making it! Generally I make an 8 and then cut it down. This time I made a 6 and lengthened it.
On the up side, no more Pop for me! Been there, done that, got a great rate at AKL by shortening my trip by one day! Which I needed to do anyways as there's family coming into town. I'm excited!

Deb

Glad to here in the great rate. and you cna just add more legth in the side seams. that is the best bet!

sohappy-I love all of those outfits. We don't see enough boys stuff on here. Great job on the applique.

Sohappy ~ That is some great boy stuff!

Teresa ~ I really hope your teeth are feeling o.k. How long will it be before you are all finished and back to smiling with confidence?

Does anybody else have those dreams where your teeth are falling out. I know it's pretty common. I can' t remember what it is supposed to "mean" though. Mine are soooo realistic that when I wake up in the morning I expect to have missing teeth!

I got the skirt fabric at JoAnn's in Independence, but I'm sure they'd have it at the OP store. I think I'm remembering that you're on the KS side, right? In fact, I may be out that way this evening (to another of my addictions - Archiver's) I could stop in JoAnn and see if they have it, if you want.

Thanks for the offer. I just got on here around 9:00. I'll probably be in the city this week. I was just at Joann a couple of days ago, but I didn't remember seeing that fabric. Was it on the wall with the quilting fabric?

BTW: What a small world. My husband is in Ind., MO right now! He is supervising at AMR tonight!

Well, I am hesitant to even show you this after seeing beautiful Drew in her shirred outfit, but here goes. I got this cute plaid fabric 40% off at JoAnn's and bought a ton, thinking I would do matching family outfits for Disney in April. I was vetoed by both male members of the family, so here are Megan and me.

Megan wanted mickey heads on the pockets of the shorts (eek white!) but you can't see them! Oh well.

Oh, and I made this for a customer's little boy. I thought it came out cute. I bought one of the fancy pliers and did snaps for the first time. It was fun!

I will try to catch up later, hope Teresa is home and resting comfortably. I bought Jacob a new tennis racket and he wants me to play with him outside. I think this will consist of me chasing tennis balls around our cul de sac, lol. Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Very Cute

Steph, you and Megan look darling! The guys may think differently when you and Megan are getting all kinds of compliments in your custom outfits! And I love the little jumper you did - the snaps look great!


OK, surprise! I made ANOTHER apron top (and have a couple more planned.) They're just so quick and easy and cute - hope you all don't get tired of seeing them!

fell in love with this fabric - it's a little boyish looking, but i still love it!

new and improved and shorter! ties for the back - you know, to prevent the dreaded wet ties!

This is the wrap skirt from YCMT. The sizes only go up to a 3, but I think it would be easy enough to make in a larger size. Oh, and the had it the pageboy also from YCMT.

OK, told the kids I would play some wii with them. Is it sad that DS is far better than I am? I am truly pitiful at video games. Oh well, we'll have some fun!

More beautiful outfits

MEEE! That's my dream. I never had that one until a few months ago. Now I've had it several times, very vividly too. What does it mean

I have that dream alot. I always wake up afraid that all of my teeth have fallen out.

I have had that one too!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!

I have no idea how to multiquote, but wanted to say how great everyones work is. I love all of the super girly twirly skirts and dresses. I think that I would be in a lot of trouble if I had a girl. Which brings me to my next point. . .

And to get them to cooperate for pictures, I had to promise to take pics of what they wanted- like pokemon/power ranger moves

and sweet brother hugs (awwww)

I love these pictures! My son is always wanting me to watch his karate and ninja moves too! And he's never even taken any sort of martial arts class!

I have that dream often too. I think it is supposed to mean that you feel like you're out of control or something. Okay, I just looked it up... One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you. Another rationalization for these falling teeth dream may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxiety.This dream is an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the value of your own opinion.

Question for you all- Do you all think dd will be "to old" for the jon jon/ rompers?? She will be 2 in July. At what age do you think they are no longer appropriate??

You ladies have certainly been busy! Here is the latest that I've finished. I wasn't sure if Drew would be interested in wearing the shirred top, but she said she loved it!

And I finally got the Dora Jumper dress Mostly finished- Still have to hem and add the buttons. I chickened out on appliqueing the face, well I just did the nose. I was scared to mess up her mouth and eyes!

those are cute i made my son a diego backpack and he was so excited, i still have some fabric left over i should make him a shirt.

Sorry for the terrible pics, they're both sick and I was waiting for a good day to take a pic and then just gave up and settled for some quickies. Didn't feel like getting my flash out so they are not very good quality images but hopefully you can still see the outfits

[/QUOTE]I love how you say that your kids wer not cooperating but those pictures are adorable.
Love the outfits and a organized sewing space :worship: :lovestruc

It's fixed! I took her to a pediatric dentist today, and they did an x-ray and said that she doesn't appear to have damaged the permanent tooth. Also, the broken part was only the enamel, so no damage to the dentin or nerve!! They roughed her little tooth up a bit and then squirted this goop on it and shaped it to look like the other tooth. Then they put that blue light thingy on it to harden it up. And just like that, she looks brand new! She was sooooo good, didn't fuss, cry, pull away, or anything. I was such a proud mama!

I am so glad to hear that!

 

[spongemommie05]

Love the apron shirt, what pattern is that? I Love it. and I totally dig on that fabric! it doesnt look to boyish to me.

I also love that wrap skirt. I wish there was a pattern for a bigger size. I am no good at adjusting the sizes. hahaha

Ok here are the pics of what I have been up to.

The skirt that I made using the fabric from Camelotcats. DD loves this and I do have a shirt planned for her also.

A little fairy outfit. This is made with one of those pre-shirred peices. I appliqued some of the fairies onto one of the pants legs.

This dress is for . I made it using the Daisy Kingdom pattern and the Pooh Bear toile fabric.

I made three of these tops. One for DD, one for her half-sister and one for her cousin. I still have to make three pairs of capris to go with them. The little poofs on the front are hair bows. I also made three sets of these.

This dress is also for .

This outfit is for DD. She wants to wear it to Crystal Palace. I altered the Daisy Kingdom pattern a bit to make this into a top.

This is what I made for DD today.

She wanted everyone to see the bows that I put on the side of the capri bottoms. There is also a yellow butterfly button on each leg.

HOLY MOLY! You have been busy. I love them all.

Got my hands on some Joanne remnants last night. Pirate fabric 35" for $3.39 and pink princess fabric 32" for $3.35. I think I'm going to make skirts for DDs. Maybe petal skorts.

First I have to finish DD8's surprise Belle's grand ball dress - the red one. I got the abric last night and worked on it until midnight. I was puling he baste stictch last night to make the bottom for the skirt while I was watching New Amersterdam and darn it the thread broke. So tonight I'm back to the sewing machine. I'm doing it in a cranberry satin fabric with sparkles for the body instead of the velour because I think it's going to be too hot. Then I found white brocade in clearance for the front and down the middle, but I found a gold swirl fabric to put over the top of the bottom. i'll post the pictures when It's done. It's taking no time to do it, which I'm excited about because DD5 is going to want a new dress for April's trip once she see's DD8's.
