Disboutiquers Part 7 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[HeatherSue]

FABULOUS!!! It's so much fun when we get someone new on here!! I LOVE the fur you use on the hems. SOOOO cute and different!!! Your daughter is beautiful! I can't wait to see what else you make!

 

[HeatherSue]

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I needed them today! First year not with my mommy on my birthday...I will see her Saturday, but it still seems weird being away from her!

I finished the bowling shirt and I must say, Katie is so proud of it!

I think this may need to come with a warning...she is a HUGE NASCAR fan and she LOVES Kasey Kahne. We just decided the other day to go to the October race so she needed a new shirt...right? So here she is in all her racing glory!

And my very very first applique (thanks Heather!!!! )

KIM!!!! You did a WONDEFUL job on your first applique!! I am SOO impressed!! The whole shirt is so adorable! Where else could you find a cute Nascar shirt for a girl- aren't you glad you can sew? LOVE it! I still think you should have bought her the tire.

Thank you so much!! I am having so much fun on this board and at home coming up with more ways to occupy my time before our December Trip to DL!! I just can't wait. But, I need to incorporate more of Mickey into the Xmas Dress...any ideas??

Well, I haven't made it onto this thread until now. It's the first thread I haven't posted on. Of course I am kind of quiet and no one noticed me missing.

Things here have been rough. DH graduated from Georgia State University in May. He finally finished his Bachelors degree. But finding a job is really hard. He has been on three interviews and hasn't heard anything final from any of them. I have been sewing things for birthday gifts and using up my stash. For me it takes a lot of courage to give a home made gift but I think everyone has liked what I made.

I took somethings in to a consignment store today. Including some overalls with Halloween Mickey and Minnie appliques on them. They had never been worn. They didn't give me much money for them and now I am really regretting it. They didn't even tell me if they thought they were cute. I did try to sell them last year on but I think it was too close to Halloween.

Thanks for listening.

So cute! I really love the Cindy cape! Did you make that without a pattern?

That looks awesome! LOVE the black placket with the checkered sleeves and collar! Your applique looks great too and you DD looks VERY happy!!!!

Well, I just finished a Goofy on my cricut and in it his vest is black, his shirt orange, pants blue, shoes brown and hat green. I think it is not quite olive, not quite lime, somewhere in-between maybe?

Do you scrapbook with your cricut? I really want one but can't justify the money, but if I see more cute things made with it I know I'l'l get one!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Here are a few more...

The xmas one I still need to finish...I need to decide if I am going to have buttons on it, criss cross in the back...ugh...decisions decisions. Good thing I have 4 more months to go till our trip!!!

They are all great! I love how you finished off the bottome of the skirt. Way cute!

That is too cool! I needed something like that years ago for when we went to the october race, except with a different number on it.

Just a thought....do you have a scrapbooking studio near you? A place where you can go and crop? I don't own a Cricuit but I make things I know I'm going to need when I go to an open crop at our local scrapbooking studio.

I want one sooooooo bad. Is that enough oooo's? Everytime I see one in the store I think...I really need that. I can use it for scrapbooking and sewing! Once great machine, so many uses!

I have to show you this fabric I just got!! I made Kirsta a Lilo outfit for Ohana's. I wanted something for my Nephew, so I went on a search. I ordered this from Hawaii. I think it was only $5 or $6 a yard. Shipping was only a couple dollars and I had it in a few days. I'm just going to make him a bowling shirt.

Isn't this the perfect Lilo and Stitch fabric?

That is very cute and would make a really cute Lilo and Stitch outfit.

I was a youcanmakethis holdout for a long time. I couldn't believe people spent so much money on patterns when I could find them for 99 cents! Then, I got one and realized how much easier they are!! I think you save money in the long run. I've made the portrait peasant top at least 15 times already, in lots of different sizes and configurations! I've also made the doll sized one a lot, too. We'll talk you into it eventually!

I was a holdout too. In my mind I just couldn't justify the price for the patterns. After I bought the first one I was hooked.

And my very very first applique (thanks Heather!!!! )

That is so cute. I think the applique looks great.

I sure hope things start to look up for you soon. Hopefully your DH will be able to find a job soon.

Charlinn-Those are some cute things that you posted. Keep sewing.

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

I love that! Very cute!

Another cute outfit! Love it.

Who else was looking for larger sized patterns at YCMT? I was just reading my latest newsletter and they have a new tween/teen section!!

My dd is not a tween or teen yet, but I am just excited to know that when she gets there, YCMT has patterns for her size!

What a cute octopus top! I love the peasant top pattern.

Thanks everyone. The dr wants to rule out the virus that is going around before doing any further testing. Anyone else think that they tell you that it's a virus just so you don't feel like you are wasting your copay??? He told me to give her Mylanta to coat her stomach before driving anywhere . Never heard of that one. Oh well. Here's hoping that it's just a virus.

Hope your dd feels better! I think anytime they have no idea what is wrong, they say it is a virus.

I just had to share my great news....

I got a promotion! A nice little raise, more hours and a manager type position..!

thanks for all the positive vibes!

Yay..congratulations!

I finally have some finished projects to share! Finished dh's shirt this morning, but the others have been done for about a week or 2...

i know I resized them, but they look huge...sorry!

I love all the matching family sets, and the minnie mouse dress.

I was MIA today! Trying to get everything in order for our meeting with MAW on Monday! I have to order all new birth certs! I cant find tehm ANYWHERE! And I have no custody papers on Zoe so I have to find a 9 year old court case number and try to look it up that way at the court house! Wish me luck that I am able to get it all done by Monday!

I have lots of pictures to share tomorrow! Old projects I am finally getting back to and finishing!

NIght!

Good luck!

Sorry you're going through a rough time. Good luck to your DH with his job search. I'm sure everyone is loving there home made gifts! So sorry about the disappointment in the consignment store. I tried to bring a Peg Perego stroller that looked brand new to a consignment shop and the owner was really snotty to me. I left the stroller with her but was regrettting it as soon as I pulled out of the lot. She called a few weeks later to tell me to come take it back and I was actually relieved. I ended up giving it to my friend who had the shower today and she seems very happy to have it. I like knowing that it found a good home.

Yes...I am no good with Patterns I used a cape she already had and just layed it out and started cutting...I do best this way! LOL

Great job! I still couldn't have done it!

I want one sooooooo bad. Is that enough oooo's? Everytime I see one in the store I think...I really need that. I can use it for scrapbooking and sewing! Once great machine, so many uses!

Can it cut fabric? Or would you just use the shapes as templates?

I have to show you this fabric I just got!! I made Kirsta a Lilo outfit for Ohana's. I wanted something for my Nephew, so I went on a search. I ordered this from Hawaii. I think it was only $5 or $6 a yard. Shipping was only a couple dollars and I had it in a few days. I'm just going to make him a bowling shirt.

Very cute! Where did you get it?

Congrats to DH on his degree. 3 interviews sounds like a start to me. The perfect position will come around when it's needed.

As for the consignment, I think I would have taken the appliques off and used them on something else if I could. I especially love to save buttons off things. Kirsta just threw out a pair of slippers that don't fit anymore, and I cut off the Aurora buttons.

Glad to see you post again!

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

That turn out great..and love the twirl!!

I must have lost some quotes somewhere along the way, but I know I wanted to say

Moonk's Mom!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, hope you have a great day!!!!!

Here are a few more...

I love all of them, especially the Cinderella's cape!

I change the threads with each outfit usually. Rest assured, a serger gets way easier to thread after you've done it a few times. I don't look forward to changing the thread but it's not all that bad either. I personally use Wooly Nylon thread most of the time. I buy mine from Thread Art's site. http://www.threadart.com/shop/ It's an off brand, they make all their own threads but quality and service are great. Some only use wooly nylon for swim and extra stretchy stuff, I use it for everything because it is really soft and light.

Thanks..I will check out the website.

For those of you who own the Cricut machine, do you have the Cricut Personal, or the Cricut Expression?

 

[karebear1]

I have the Expression and the Cricut Deisgn Studio. I was telling jham that if she hasn't purchased the CDS yet- then she really needs to!

 

[Tinka_Belle]

I finished my CASED Ariel outfit, but the batteries in my camera are dead so I can't post any pics. I will have pics up later. Jenna loves the outfit though. Thank you Kimmylaj for letting me CASE it for my DD.
