Disboutiquers Part 4ish Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[sahm1000]

Welcome Home Lori! We missed you.

Here are a couple things I have been working on.

This is Giselle’s yellow dress from the end of Enchanted. Hannah was more than delighted and she said she was going to wear it to her wedding. LOL

Here is a better pic of the details.

Love both of the dresses! The whale one is fantastic! Love the fabric especially!

Same here, I've made oodles of easy fit pants for both kiddos, here are a few pairs for both my son and daughter in all different lengths

Boy:

Girl:

Wow, these are fantastic and you're so quick about getting them done! It takes me forever just to get one outfit done!

 

[kstgelais4]

Thanks! I got the shirt and shoes at Gymboree

I should have know it was gymbo, it is too cute. Where did you get the fabric? It matches perfectly? I just have to add that Lily is so flippin' cute.

We put sock curlers in DD's hair last night. Her hair was so curly this morning that it was up above her shoulders, and I had to wet it to get it to relax a little. Her hair was actually in ringlets when she came home from school. It was pretty tangled though, so I had to comb it. We went to the library today and took some pictures. Her hair is naturally wavy (curly in the summer), but this is what it looks like after a day or two of school and play!!

And, after the sock curlers...

wow ! i need to try that with Jayedyn's hair




Thanks!! Matthew's top is a McCall's sweatshirt pattern I just left the sleeves off! I had to size it down though. This one is a size one, the next one fits better.

BTW - the green grass is my neighbors, the brown straw looking stuff is our lush lawn!!

Hope Tessa feels better soon!!

A day at the "beach"

OK, I'm done hogging the board now.

wow those are some cute kiddos and the outfits too...

 

[spongemommie05]

Here are the shorts that I made for my tomboy DD. I shorten the cuffs on these. I am really happy with the results.

i think those are way cute my daughter would wear them but she would need a headband or a huge barette.. way to go

Ok - here are the bowling shirt pics! Louie is finally getting where he will stand still and strike a pose here and there...

The front

The back

The "fierce" look

A girlie version with ruffled capris

The back embroidered with her digitizer mama's design

Another girlie version with Minnie Dot (her mama and papa are into muscle cars)

This is my favorite

One to add to the crab collection

The back (an adorable Kimberbell machine applique design)

The filled version of Mr. Crab (pre-sand and grass stains )

And last but not least, my beautiful stepdaughter Emily . She was in town for the week, so I put her to work modeling! The shirt is made from a mix of Amy Butler prints. She picked the fabrics out herself!

Thanks for looking - hope everyone isn't burned out on bowling shirts before I even get the pattern written! I'm really going to push to finish it up soon, I just have to force myself to stay off this addictive board and work!

Carla

cute stuffI have made so many of those shirts just in one week i can sew them blindfolded no not really. thanks for sharing

HI EVERYONE!!!!
Whew! I have been away for WAY TOO LONG! Why does life have to get in the way of everything FUN? YEESH! Well, not really, but, sometimes that's how it feels!
I can't wait to try and get caught up, I just wanted to check in really quick and say HI! HI!
I'm sure jham has mentioned our boutique we're working our tushies off for next week....eeek! We've been talking about it for months and it's actually here and I'm SURE not ready! ACK!
Anyway! I've seen some dang cute outfits and gotten some great inspiration (as usual) and I can't wait to see more!
And since we all love the Mouse, I wanted to post a few pics of Saylor in her Mouse outfit....

Thanks for letting me share! I promise I won't post and ditch! I've missed my DISers!!!!


Can't wait to (try) catch up!!!

OH OH OH! One thing...I am a HUGE Napoleon Dynamite fan! Okay, not quite Titanic, but, let's hope I don't ever obsess over anything like that again! I've been watching Napoleon while I sew the past couple of weeks! I was because even though I wasn't here with my posts, I was here in spirit!!!! GOSH!

she is just so cute . it is good to know you are okay i am so excited for the bootikue me and wendy lou will be there the 1st day.....i have been watching napoleon also it has been on tv... i love that show his moonboots

 

[spongemommie05]

I am finally getting around to posting the photos for the question I raised yesterday regarding the right size for the Simply Sweet pattern:

First, is the halter bodice. I made a size 6. The elastic in the back was too long, so I shortened it.

I'm wondering if a size 5 with the wider bodice would be better.

Here is the jumper bodice in a size 6. This one ended up being too big all over, so I definitely think I need to make a size 5 in this one.

My daughter is thin, so I added ties at the waist, but it is still way too big.

Thanks everyone for posting your photos of this pattern. It helps me get a better idea of how it should fit.

i am sorry they are too big but they look great . it should be something easy to fix.

I just came across this picture- It is my favorite crying picture. If I remember right he had the whole arm flapping thing going too. I think I was trying not to laugh, I am so mean.

omg How cute is he??

too cute i love the giselle dress

Aimee, thanks got the heads up about Giselle. We are watching that movie a lot these days. Hopefully they'll get meet and greets going with her soon. I love the yellow Giselle dress.

We got fun mail today, Delaney's provincial Belle outfit came today, she's in love with it already, I couldn't wait to see her in it. I even managed to find my camera and get my all-in-one printer to cooperate (wonders never cease ) and to top it all off photobucket was actually working too...

And I have no idea why one picture is larger than the other but okay, at least I got them to work without too much trouble.

Delaney and I are going to head off to the Disney Store, since DH is away we're trying to do a lot of work around the house and still manage to get in some fun girl time together.

We were waiting to go until we got the mail and until we heard from my mom that my dad was doing okay after surgery this morning. He's home and sleeping and doing fine. It was relatively minor surgery, he had his gall bladder removed today, it was done in less than an hour.

We're off to the store and then hopefully I'll get some sewing done tonight. I just got Carla's Easy Fit Pants today. I'll probably get the capri's next week.

I've been able to make some progress in the house so I won't feel so bad about sewing.

that is so awesome ! i am envious of your grass too it was snowing here earlier Blahhhhhh
for your dad i am glad his surgery went good i have had my gall bladder out no fun ...

I think your halter looks fine. Maybe tighten the elastic in the back next time and you'll get the fit you want.

I would definately go with a size 5 in the jumper. Now that I think of it, I usually make a size smaller than DD wears in CarlaC's stripwork jumper.

Hi Everyone,

I have a quick question. A lot of you use the easyfit pants. Im not really good with patterns, so what I had done before was to just take a pair of pants that fit the child well and use that as my pattern - is that really bad???? Im tempted by that pattern, but not being good at patterns I'd hate to purchase it and not use it, you know?????

Thanks!! Wendy

If you are happy with the pants you make then I would say you don't need the ebook. I use a pair of shorts to compare length.

 

[HeatherSue]

Stevesgirl: I lost your pictures, but I love the jumpers you made! The size 6 was so pretty, I love the fabrics you used!

OK, I'm done hogging the board now.

Look at you, sewing up a storm! You are getting so creative and boutique-y! These are GREAT!!!

Mainly, I have really only quilted and made costumes. I am fairly new to clothing but I am very excited! I know I can do it, it's just going to take time and patience. (And of course, trial and error!) So, may I ask you all a question taht may seem strange?

What exactly ia s serger and what can you do with it? TIA~

!!! We can't wait to see what you come up with!

I'll have to check out Tessa's reviews--I think Luke first fell in love at her Giselle review I hope our Tessa is feeling better soon!

I didn't even know he watched that one! How sweet!

WOW!!! I am LOVING that shirt. The different colored strip in the back of the one shirt is so cool! I also love the same one you said was your favorite! The girl sihrts are too adorable! Louie is a little doll and Emily is so pretty! The little girl is a beauty, too. Did you say who she was?

I AM BACK!!!!

I just got back yesterday and am working on the TR now. had a fab trip with brand new customs!
Lori

YAY!! Can't wait to read your TR!

OH OH OH! One thing...I am a HUGE Napoleon Dynamite fan! Okay, not quite Titanic, but, let's hope I don't ever obsess over anything like that again! I've been watching Napoleon while I sew the past couple of weeks! I was because even though I wasn't here with my posts, I was here in spirit!!!! GOSH!

That is SUCH an adorable picture!! I love the outfit, the cutie pie, and the Minnie!

We are kindred spirits- first Titanic, now Napoleon Dynamite!

I just came across this picture- It is my favorite crying picture. If I remember right he had the whole arm flapping thing going too. I think I was trying not to laugh, I am so mean.

That is too funny! He manages to be quite handsome, even mid-tantrum!

Oh my goodness, I'm in love with that yellow Giselle dress! I love yellow and I love eyelet! Both of the yellow Giselle dresses that have been posted on here have been so cute! Too bad Tessa already has too many Disney outfits. I might have to try this when I get home, though.

The whale outfit is so cute, but that model of yours (both of them, actually) is GORGEOUS!!!

I like it even better close up!

Ok - here are the bowling shirt pics! Louie is finally getting where he will stand still and strike a pose here and there...

Carla

I absolutely CANNOT wait for this pattern! I have 3 boys who always always ask what I am going to sew for them!

 

[mickeyjen]

Yes please!!! Is there any chance at all of this CarlaC bowling pattern being avaiable for men and women??? Pretty please???

 

[LauraP22]

Oh! That's it! How did you get such a nice fit on that halter top! This is exactly what I am trying to accomplish!

Wish I could say it was me, I'd have to chalk it up to Carla's pattern though, it's the simply sweet halter with long ties in a size three. I made it exactly as written, even the elastic measurements in her regular sewing size which is a three and it's a perfect fit. I've also made the jumper version which is a looser fit for her to wear over tees and such but I added a ribbon sash so I could snug it up a bit.

the straps are slightly long without a shirt underneath but fit nicely with one

 

[teresajoy]

A day at the "beach"

OK, I'm done hogging the board now.

These are such cute outfits Leslie!!! You have been very busy!!!

Does this mean we might (pretty please) get a photo or two live from THE WORLD???

Why Yes, yes it does!

Carla

I loooove these Carla!!!! I am thinking I might just need that pattern! I hadn't thought of making it into a girl shirt!! That black and pink one is adorable!!! The planet material looks similar to some Lydia picked out the other week! I still need to sew that up!

I AM BACK!!!!

I just got back yesterday and am working on the TR now. had a fab trip with brand new customs!

Really, do they get much cuter!!!! I love that outfit too!!!!

YEAH!!! Another Napoleon Dynamite fan!!! I just knew I liked you guys!!!

Sadly, yes there are some people that don't "get" Napoleon Dyanamite. They say it's stupid, like that's a BAD thing!

I think they look pretty cute!!! I just finished the jumper, and I think I'll go with a size smaller next time. But, Lyddy was between sizes, so I went up a size, so I sort of figured it would be a bit big.

I just came across this picture- It is my favorite crying picture. If I remember right he had the whole arm flapping thing going too. I think I was trying not to laugh, I am so mean.

That is funny and mean Anna!

Hannah is gorgeous in her Giselle dress. That turned out soo pretty!

[teresajoy]

I finished Lydia's Marie outfit this morning! I think it really turned out well! Lydia loves it too. She loves Marie.

And a great big Thank You!!! to Glorib, for sending us the Marie fabric!!!

I made this with less than half a yard of the Marie fabric!

I used Carla's Simply Sweet jumper top, and the ruffles from the peasant dress pattern. Thanks Carla!

(to thumbnail these, change the s800 to s144 )

And, here is a closeup of the fabric, isn't it wonderful!!!

 

[sugarbees]

How's your mouthie? poor baby!!! hope they've got you on some good meds!!!

We are kindred spirits- first Titanic, now Napoleon Dynamite!

I AGREE! Of course, I don't have any Napoleon tattoos or anything....
I do, however, own a "vote for pedro" shirt or two...my Auntie went up to Idaho and got all my kids Pedro shirts...LOVE IT! They still wear them...HEY...we are DIEHARD fans over here!!!

Really, do they get much cuter!!!! I love that outfit too!!!!

YEAH!!! Another Napoleon Dynamite fan!!! I just knew I liked you guys!!!

Sadly, yes there are some people that don't "get" Napoleon Dyanamite. They say it's stupid, like that's a BAD thing!

That is so pretty. I like the design that you came up with. It's very original.

 

[jham]

Thank you sooooo much!!! I love how you have done the top of yours better than mine -- I made my waistband top too long. I am going to shorten it now b/c I like your 3 tiers better than my 2! I am making a patchwork twirl skirt for a friend and I am going to do hers like yours!!! Thanks again!

Thanks! I had a hard time deciding how to do the waistband but I really like the way it turned out. I will likely do it this way from now on.

I should have know it was gymbo, it is too cute. Where did you get the fabric? It matches perfectly? I just have to add that Lily is so flippin' cute.

Thanks! I think I got the solid aqua at Joann's and the rest at Hancock. I'm surprised it matched so well! The "dotty" fabrics are a Hancock's brand that I found on their quilter's wall. It took me a while to find fabrics I liked.

Why Yes, yes it does!
YEAH!!! Another Napoleon Dynamite fan!!! I just knew I liked you guys!!!

Sadly, yes there are some people that don't "get" Napoleon Dyanamite. They say it's stupid, like that's a BAD thing!

We do have a lot in common, glasses and hairstyles not withstanding

Yay for the Live updates! I wish I were going too! And we want photos of the Stephers meet!

And, here is a closeup of the fabric, isn't it wonderful!!!

OH MY GOSH- that is the CUTEST dress EVER!!! I LOVE IT!! I love, love, love the ruffle butt and the different colored straps. You really outdid yourself with this one! Tessa is going to be so jealous, because, as you know, no one loves Marie as much as she loves Marie. LOL!

I didn't realize it until I saw these pictures, but I think I just bought some of that blue dot fabric over the weekend at WalMart!

We do have a lot in common, glasses and hairstyles not withstanding

Yay for the Live updates! I wish I were going too! And we want photos of the Stephers meet!

Definitely! I can't wait to meet Steph, Megan, and Jacob!! Of course, if she brings her hubby along, I'd be happy to meet him, too!

 

[tadamom]

Everything looks great ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wanted to say that my husband and I are Napoleon Dynamite fans too! I just watched it again this week -- I love it!

BTW, Teresa and Heather....are y'all going to give us a little preview of all your outfits before you leave and where they will be wearing them too????? hint hint!

 

[UMTerp]

How adorable is that?!?!
