Disboutiquers Part 30 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[nannye]

I agree the length is good. I am doing a pirate Irelyn for a birthday and making it just-below-knee so the little girl can move around a little pirate theme park we have here. I think any longer it might be confining.

And I have made the irelyn and it seems like a ton of ruffles but it really isn't bad. I think it is one that looks a lot hard than it is. And I am no ruffle expert for sure!

ha ha, I didn't actually make this one. My mom did. It took her days to make. and I mean days and she actually messed up on on of the steps so the white ruffles are a tier lower than they should be. I am NERVOUS about making another. It might be the boots throwing me off too.
Actually I should say that she hand ruffles all of it. She hasn't figured out the ruffle yet. She tried it and it broke the automatic threader on her machine. She must be doing something wrong, IDK but she won't use it. that's why it takes her so long. I need to sit down and figure it out I just haven't had the time.

oh wait, looking for another applique! has anyone seen a goofy candy co applique anywhere?

 

[mommy2paisley]

Did you check Bows and Clothes? I know I've seen one, but I can't remember whose design it is.

I did 2 of them in about a week and a half. The first I did spend about 12 hours on web tutorials learning rolled hem and ruffling on my serger. Once I got that down the second dress took me a few hours. I got it done in a weekend working only during my kids naps.

I want to say I've seen the goofy one somewhere maybe sweetpeasplace?

She did the rolled hems, decided she didn't like the look so she folded and stitched them

I can't seem to find either of those sites, can someone please post or PM me the link please!

I think Digital by Design on FB has it.

Hopefully Nini will see this she has done a few. You might want to try using the search I know she has posted them a few times.

Here are the links:

http://bowsandclothes.com/
http://www.sweetpeasplace.com/

but I didn't see anything (searching under a variety of terms). I also tried

http://misskenziemac.com/store.html and of course http://www.froufroubyheathersue.com/ but couldn't find anything. Heather's store seems to have the largest selection of Disney designs so I thought if it was anywhere it would be there.

It's not often that I can't find what I want using Google but even it wasn't offering any sites so hopefully someone that has purchased the design will be able to tell you where they found it.

Good luck! Can't wait to see all your new creations for V. She is one very lucky little girl to have you for a nanny.

Some advice? so this is the Irelyn Peek a boo dress pattern. It was made in the largest size 6/7 and fit V throughout the bodice pretty well. I think it is too short. What do you guys think? I am planning to make her the same style dress in classic mickey colors.



TIA!

This is adorable - and I agree - I think it's the perfect length for walking.

Just checked and Dena at digital design on FB has it and I really like how her stuff stitches out.

this is not a selling board......some people have the address to their etsy shops in their sigs....no one will respond to you here it is not allowed...sorry



Question

has anyone made leotards for gymnastics? I'm having a hard time deciding on a pattern....I'm between the ones on etsy by tumble and twirl and jalie. I have other Jalie patterns but they are more $$ than the etsy ones...even though the size range is wider on the Jalie....my DD is only 4. I can't find anything that fits her that's not $30 for one....so I want to get one pattern and make a couple for each size as she grows.

I finally had a little break to start on some sewing projects for my own family, and stitched out the front of one of a few of the Jackson raglan shirts, and then the worst thing happened, my BRAND NEW like 6 weeks old Embroidery machine came to a literal grinding halt. Something seized up in the motor and the needle will not move. I have already had it in once because the needle threader stopped working right, picked it up about a week ago, and now will be taking it back in. I am so sad and very frustrated.

Luckily I have not gotten around to selling my PE770 so I am able to get a few orders done for my etsy shop with that, but I have several outstanding that were promised a larger applique.

Spent today's nap time instead cutting out more shirts for my boys for our trip, I figured with all the activity summer brings, plus my etsy gig, I will need the whole 5+ months to get it all done. Cut out 3 bowling shirts, the 2 Jackson Raglan, and 2 pairs of shorts. Hopefully having stuff cut out already will make it wasy to throw it on the embroidery machine when the opportunity arises. If said machine gets back to working order. (the quoted me 10 days on the phone, which I am sure does not include the holiday!)

I bought the Sisboom Dana pattern for a sew-a-long Carla C is hosting at patternrevolution.com, only $5! And she had a mothers day sale at Sisboom too so I got the Devon shirt as well, going to try to make something for myself for the summer, hopefully I can finish before it is winter again!

I'd love to know this too! For DD4 I had the best luck with size 6 leos, but she has a long torso for her age. I did find an Etsy shop that sells leos for about $15, and another that sells some cute Lycra/cotton knit fabrics, but have not dared to sew one up yet. Taking my first foray into using stretch knits and sewing leggings this weekend for DD. So far so good! I get most of DD's leos 2nd hand otherwise which helps $$ and with the trial-and-error sizing, but the tutus (for dance) I pretty much have paid full price, sigh... signing her up for gymnastics next Fall, so I'd love to find a good pattern too.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a few suggestions on where I could find patterns for a size 4-5 (tall 3 year old) cinderella costume. I have read through the first post but all the links are overwhelming.
I want a dress that is more like a fancy ball gown. I want to have my aunt make my daughter a surprise dress for her first trip to Disney World..
Thanks

I know the Carla C Simply sweet is one of the most incredibly versatile patterns ever, and she has directions on her blog how to turn it into different princesses: http://scientificseamstress.blogspot.com/2009/09/simply-sweet-storytime.html
Also, the Fairytale Pattern Designs Ireyln Ruffle dress makes a beautiful cinderella, and she is about to release a new princess dress I saw done up in fairy frost blue which was a gorgeous cinderella. You can find her on facebook or craftsy.com

I have no posted anything because Ian either being unsuited by you all or seeing. A week fr today's dad takes my family (husband and 5&6 year old boys) with my brother, 6 and 7 And 5 year old niece to Disney World. I have been planning and prepping like a mad woman while trying to finish off teaching and become a national certified teacher. And now the dressed I planned for my niece might not happen. Our senile dog got under the table and stuck in the cords. When he got out (we were asleep) the machine fell over. The corner of the feeding plate has a chunk out and the top housing isn't setting right. Hopefully I can take it to the shop tomorrow and they can reset it. Please send happy thought because I don't know how else I will get her dresses done.

Did she use a ruffling foot or a regular foot on the sewing machine? I think on mine, I have to thread the needle first before attaching the ruffling foot, otherwise the threader mechanism will hit the foot (thus damaging both).

This is an autograph quilt I made a while back:




I collected the signatures over a few trips, scanned them, and digitized them. I used 4x4 embroidery field as that was the largest size I could do at the time. Hopefully this will give you some inspirations for your quilts.

I finally had a little break to start on some sewing projects for my own family, and stitched out the front of one of a few of the Jackson raglan shirts, and then the worst thing happened, my BRAND NEW like 6 weeks old Embroidery machine came to a literal grinding halt.

I am sorry to hear about the problems with your embroidery machine. I wonder if you got a lemon? I am surprised that it would be that fragile!

I can't wait to see what you make with the new Sisboom patterns. I haven't got those 2 yet.

I am so sorry to hear about your problems. However, becoming a certified teacher will be a great accomplishment. Hopefully the machine will be fixed quickly so you can make the dresses as planned.

I think I will just do it that length :0
Right now for ruffles, she does a basting stitch and then ruffles them all by hand.
the one time she tried to use the ruffler foot and broke her threader, it was definitely a ruffler foot. She has refused to try it since. Not that I blame her. We haven't managed to get back to the store to get it fixed yet and get a proper lesson on the ruffler.
