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

[charlinn]

Congrats!!! Does this mean you don't have to worry about tickets to DW?

Okay, this is what I have been doing today. It is the first of many outfits for Disneyworld in Sept. It is a little longer than I wanted, but I do not want to redo it so I will live. The bad thing about this skirt is that it is so heavy. This one did not take as long as the first one like it did. Sorry the pictures are not great.

Twirl factor:

Daughter playing:

She didn't want to take it off to go to sleep.

How adorable!! I love it! I need to get more material...but my Joann Fabrics doesn't have a big Disney selection...Although they did have some Halloween Disney fabric last week.

 

[charlinn]

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



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



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



Thanks..I will check out the website.

Thank you...I am going to make a Tink Cape next...I'll post pic's when it's done. I am looking for more tink fabric so it can be double sided.

OKay so I finally finished this dress set! It is not Disney but I still wanted to share! Again, Lots of Pictures! SORRY! Olivia just loves this outfit ( I think it is the fingerless glove really) and even asked if she was a Coll big girl now! lol. Then of course asked if I was gonna put her in my puter! lol, She is a trip!

AND GUESS WHAT????????????????????????????

We meet with Zoes wish granters on Monday at 6:30! She is just tickled! Now to find the birth Certs, Custody papers (For Zoe) and make copies of our ID's! YIKES!

Thanks for letting me share!

This outfit is adorable...and so is your model!! I love the striped trim on the bottom!! Very creative!

All the older homes are beautiful! I can't imagine the work! I think the oldest home around me is about 10 years old. I am told often that our home was a cow pasture about two years ago

Here is what I have been busy doing this weekend:

I need to try an applique soon. I am a little intimidated by the idea though. Where do you all get the mickey head to copy? And how do you cut it so smoothly?

this is so cute!! I love it. I haven't tried applique's either...do you need a special machine...mine is 10 years old an does not have that application.

 

[charlinn]

okay so i have a few new things, i have been trying to applique a few things, and havent quite gotten the hang of it, but my kids are happy with them so thats okay by me.

Question about serger....mine was delivered yesterday, and I was reading the manual last night and took it out of the box this afternoon. Do you change out the threads with the different outfit that you make so the thread matches...or do you keep it at one color, like white and use that on all outfits? Right now, it is threaded with red, green, yellow and blue and I am thinking those probably aren't the colors that I would stay with. The threading really scares me....I think I will play around with it a little after the kiddos go to bed tonight.

Also, do you buy regular thread or are there special thread for sergers?

I use the standard overlock thread on the big spools and I use either black or white I just can't justify spending that much on thread fro one outfit.


I scored some great fabric today. None of it was Disney, but it was cute just the same. I got a light weight cord in black with red and green apples. It looks a lot like the michael miller pears posted a while back. Hancock had cordurory on sale. I also got some great christmas fabric at Walmart. They had a really cute 60 '' border print with snowmen and two other fabrics that coordinated with it. I am planning a dress from the border print and a school party outfit for the others. I also got a storybook that is Rudolph. It is scenes from the classic old movie, really cute! it will be storybook skirt. I also got some fall patterns for 99 cents at Hancock.

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?

really cute!

I buy the large spools of serger thread but I usually use white or black. I HATE changing colors. The thread colors in there now are just to match up with the 4 different color-coded threading routes to help you learn to thread it. Just practice and it will get easier. If you have the same machine I do (the brother something or other) then the blue thread is the PITB one.

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!!!

Cute! Love all the fur trim!

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!

I do...or um, did, when I scrapbooked I used it today to make characters to put on some notebooks for some Big Give pixiedust.

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

Expression and I'm glad!

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!

I ALMOST bought it today at Roberts, it was on sale and everything, but I had to use my $ to buy another princess cartridge because I didn't have the cartridge with Belle on it and that is Karlyn's (big give wishtripper) fav. princess. So I HAD to buy it, right? Maybe I can sneak it in with the groceries at Walmart.

Here is what I did with the applique I posted the other day.

I love the baby stuff. If we have another I will have to make my own bibs!

 

[princesskayla]

Here's the reversible patchwork bucket hat I made for my friend's baby shower. It is a size 0-6 months. I made it to match the bibs and burp clothes I had already made. I already have plans for lots of Disney ones!

I made this for my daughter for our trip to DL in December this year...Just wanted to share. I have only sewed a few times in my life...usually curtains and a costume once or twice...but I really do not like patterns. I'll add a few more They need to finished off with matching bows, tights, and boots/shoes...I'll send the finished look, once completed!!! How fun is this!! I am getting obsessed!! Hahaha...so happy to have found this board!!

Very cute. I love all of your dresses.

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!!!! )

Good job on the applique! Love the shirt and Happy Birthday!!

How adorable!! I love it! I need to get more material...but my Joann Fabrics doesn't have a big Disney selection...Although they did have some Halloween Disney fabric last week.

My JoAnn's has a horrible fabric selection. There are NO cotton disney prints and they do not have any dots in red or yellow. I guess I will have to start getting my fabric off the internet.

Here is what I did with the applique I posted the other day.

How cute! You did such a good job!!!

 

[HeatherSue]

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??

I would put a little Mickey head applique on one, or several of the strips! Maybe a Mickey head on one and an "M" on either side.

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.

I'm sorry you're having a rough time right now. Congrats on your DH getting his bachelor's. I really hope a great job turns up for him soon!

Sorry about your consignment story. It sounds like that woman didn't know how special Mickey head appliques are!

this is so cute!! I love it. I haven't tried applique's either...do you need a special machine...mine is 10 years old an does not have that application.

Nope, you just need a machine that has zig-zag on it to do appliques. Since I haven't posted it nearly enough in the last few days. Here is a link to my applique tutorial:

Maybe I can sneak it in with the groceries at Walmart.

Oooh....you're SO bad!! I would NEVER do something like that.

I love the baby stuff. If we have another I will have to make my own bibs!

You are on a roll!! That turned out SOO cute!!

You do know you're wasting your time sewing these adorable things, don't you? That little girl of yours would look gorgeous in a paper bag!

Have a question for you guys. Would it be easy to make CarlaC's peasant top bigger - it only goes up to a size 8 I think, but my daughter would need a 12? TIA!

AWWWW that is so cute.

I don't think that it would be hard at all. The pattern is really simple so I think making it bigger would be easily done.

Ok. The batteries are finally charged enough, so here is the pic of Jenna in her new Ariel outfit. She has not taken it off since the pic was taken. I had to change a couple of things when I made it. I just appliqued a square with Ariel, I added ties to the side because the side was showing too much of Jenna. I told her that since the pants were so long she could wear a long sleeve shirt under it during the cooler months.

Yes, I've made it a size 12 for my older DD. It wasn't hard, but after the first one I altered it again adding even more on to it.

Wow you ladies are So incredibly talented! I love, love, love all of the outfits!!!!

Am I allowed to post these?
I make these bows for my daughters when we go to WDW and also for my clients, with their own custom color choices.
I make them on a pony elastic, nylon headband (great for babies) or on a clip.
