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

Hi All!! I don't post very often, but I am at a creative standstill on my sweet girl's Tiana Halloween costume. How do I make the flower tendrils that trail down from the flower on Tiana's dress? Is it some kind of rope covered in fabric? I want it to be curly, so I'm just not sure how to accomplish this. Please offer some suggestions!!

I would use something with wire in it to get it to curl. Maybe thread some floral wire through heavy cord (like you would use to tie back drapes). Then tack it to itself or the dress in a few places so it doesn't have to hold the whole weight. :flower3:

How about korker ribbon? Wrap ribbon around a towel and bake it. Google for the exact temp/time. I was planning to do that for the tiana dress I made but ran out of time and just did the flower.

Those are fabulous! You did an incredible job. I am so glad you reposted these.
 
Hi, does anyone have an idea or link to a machine embroidery design good for Garden Grill? I've been searching and I'm having trouble finding a design that would work. It's for my baby grandson's 1st Disney trip. Thanks so much!

Are you going to the Chip and Dale meal? If so I think all these are cute (they come in different sizes and types, but this is a great site).

Single Chipmunk

Chipmunks with sunflowers

Painting chipmunk

Piano Chipmunks

Candy Chipmunks

Also if you search Etsy for "pilgrim mouse" I think that one would fit GG well too.

I got farmer chip and farmer dale (there is also Mickey and Pluto) from very truly yurs on Facebook. They're really cute and stitch out great.

Thanks so much!!!

Here's Chip and Dale for my boys for Garden Grill

I was going to do them directly on the plaid shirts, but decided to keep them plain so they can wear them in the spring (hopefully) for family pics, I think they're really cute shirts.

And I don't remember when I shared last, some of these I posted on FB, but I truly can't remember. We leave next tuesday after my husband gets home from work, we are flying out of milwaukee at 6 a.m. wednesday so we're staying the night there near the airport. It's about 2 hours from here.

For BOG on my boys birthday:

Safari shirts for AK and Tusker House (they will re-use the safari vests from last year.)

Halloween Shirts, the spiderweb fabric glows in the dark, as does the thread I stitched it in.

And my Hallowen outfit, my hubby has a similar shirt w/ mickey o'lantern



And these are the outfits my kids wore to their party this weekend. Did the birthday party early, they kept calling it "pretend birthday" The shirts are Carla C Raglan made out of XL plain t-shirts, and the pants are charming Ollie Otto pants, which are cute but I messed them up more ways than I can even keep track of. They both have legs that are INCHES different in length, thankfully they are designed to be rolled. one cuff on each is rolled 3x, the other 2x.




And I made a dragon costume to go with the knight costume, which is a just-because dress up set.



In the next 7 days I need to finish 4 kids bowling shirts, and put buttons/button holes on the nearly finished men's bowling shirt I made for my husband. And if I can fit it in, I would like to add a few more embroidered shirts, but if not, oh well.

Everything looks great!! And your boys are too cute.
 
The quilt is stunning.

Thanks. It is in the wash now and I will be leaving it with my cousin to take it to his mom (my aunt) when he goes to visit her.

I haven't put up any pics for a while. So I thought I'd share some wedding pictures of my son and new daughter.





I didn't get to make the wedding dress :( , but I did get to make the bow ties and sashes and the Jr bridesmaid and flower girl dresses.::yes::
I especially love this picture of the back of the dress.



And I had to throw this one in just for fun.


I forgot to add that you can't really tell in the pictures, but the tulle on the flower girl dress is GLITTERY. Never again! My whole house is still full of glitter.

Beautiful bride, beautiful pictures, beautiful bridesmaids and flower girl! Is the flower girl dress the Brooklyn dress from Making Clothes Kids Love? You did a great job with the jr bridesmaids and flower girl's dress!

PurpleEars- The quilt is beautiful. What a great idea to give it to her to comfort her through chemo. My Mother-in-law a few years ago went through chemo and an organization in our area donated afghans to the patients to have through the process. I think this is so much more personable.

I know you and a few others want to see my bows. I'll post a few later today.

Thanks. I hope it will comfort her and encourage her. She has maintained a positive attitude from testing to diagnosis to treatment, and I am sure it will help her along the way.

Thank you so much for reposting the bows! They look wonderful! I may be a little bit biased, but I like the Minnie one the best.

Looks like you have been busy sewing. Your boys are super cute as per usual. I like your outfit for the Halloween party too! After seeing your Toy Story Devon top, I am actually debating if I should make one with a Christmas theme for myself. I have a few other projects to finish before I can do fun projects for myself though.
 
Here are a few projects I completed recently:

A set of Simply Sweet doll dresses for my friend's DD's. This is my first time using the Simply Sweet pattern despite having the pattern for around 2 years.

And then I made my first pillowcase dress ever! This is for my friend's DD's birthday.

I also made a pile of gift card pouches for the Ronald McDonald House. It is a place where families can stay when their children receives treatment from the hospital. It is a big helper for families from out of town. The House gives all the families staying there over Christmas something special. These will contain gift cards for the parents (kids will get a big sack filled with goodies).

Finally, some of you know that parts of southern Alberta were destroyed by flood in the summer. One of my co-workers used to live in a town called High River. The whole town was flooded. The destruction was unbelievable (DH and I went there a few days to help with the post flood clean up). My co-worker's family lost almost everything in the flood. I decided to do something special for his DS. I haven't decided when to give it to them yet, but probably in the next few days.

This isn't necessarily a suggestion for Garden Grill, but if anyone is looking for 'edgier' designs, Embroidery Library's sister site, Urban Threads has a lot more edgy things.

They are so cute and I love the blue "beast" shirts!

So, it never occurred to me before to get XL tshirts for knit fabric! Does that work pretty well? I got some black knit from Joann's and when I washed it, it got all wonky. Now I'm afraid to sew with it. Any advice?

You are so (sew?) generous with your talents! Everything looks great. The simply sweet is my favorite pattern I've done. The Ariel applique is very cute. I wish the Princesses hadn't been made over in the marketing stuff. :(
