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

[rie'smom]

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.
They are available on a pony elastic, nylon headband (great for babies) or on a clip.

They are beautiful!! We're not allowed to sell, so leave the pictures and delete the cost and you should be fine!

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.

I simply it!! Would you mind horribly if I CASE it, just for my baby?

Okay guys. I just found out some exciting news. I am going to try and not share it with my DH until Disney ... but I am going to being sewing for another baby in April!!! We were pregnant in March but I miscarried. We were planning on trying again in Oct after the Disney trip - but I guess things happen when you aren't expecting it! I am wanting to tell my DH in Disney, does anyone have any good ideas??

Does anyone else feel like they know the Chung family personally? I'm always typing in ycmt.com instead of youcanmakethis.com!

Yes!! I laughed so hard when I read this! Totally me too.

Anyway, here is the pooh dress I made. Someone asked about the pattern so she could make a Belle dress. Sorry, I don't remember who. Geez, it's just like the families in my neighborhood - I remember all the kids names, but not the parent's names. I remember what pattern she wanted, what dress she wanted to make, but not who wanted it!!

It's a NEW LOOK pattern, I think that's Walmart, right? #6693 - an "easy" "kids!" pattern.

So four new dresses for my daughter this week. It's like I exploded! She got to wear a new dress every day this week. Now, on to the bowling shirt for my son, and a quilt for my son. I made a quilt for my daughter before she was born. My son just turned two ... Guess I better get crackin'!

Thanks to Heather, I finally got this done for one of the MAW families. She helped with the design and insisted that I model it when I was finished (but no twirling). Now, the burning question is, should I try to do the bucket hat on ycmt before I have to send it out tomorrow? I'm not sure I have time, but would it be too busy? I have squares left over so I am leaning towards yes, but not sure about the time thing.

I hope this is cool enough for an 11 year old.

Ooh, what fun! Congratulations!! I LOVE thinking of surprise announcements like this! If you wanted something more private, you could have one of those baby Mickey's sitting on your hotel room bed with a note that says Congratulations! Ooh, ooh, do the divers at Coral Reef still do custom signs? You could have them make a sign. Or, meal at a character meal, you could probably talk to the manager beforehand and have the character bring out a sign or something, maybe.

Or you have a child already, right? You could make a shirt for the older child that says, "I'm gonna be a big brother/sister" whatever he/she will be.

Fun stuff! Exciting!!

Coral Reef is out. I have a phobia of fish. I read somewhere that a mother found the dream squad and enlisted their help. That might be fun!

Ohh, I like it. I think a 11 yo will love it! A bucket hat would be wonderful if you could do it in time. I say go for it.

It was me! I don't remember names either, so don't sweat it. I was thinking of taking CarlaC's jumper and trying to put darts in it, but this already has them and it comes in bigger sizes!

It's so cute, and I love the Pooh dress too (that lace trim is so sweet). Thanks so much!

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've done some letters with my cricut. I just put the fusible on the back of the fabric before I cut and then just ironed right onto the t-shirt!

This is very cute! I think it's great for an 11 year old. If you have time, the hat would be cool too, but I wouldn't stress about it. The outfit on it's own is terrific!

HELP!!!! I am Shirring the back of Katies Back to School top and I cant figure it out on my Brother CS6000i Yeah, and the first day is tomorrow.

What is going on? Did you hand wind the elastic? Pull on it a little bit while you wind but not too much. Make sure your length is on 4 (or higher if you have a higher option. Mine is only to 4) Make sure when you start that you go back and forth good so it does not pull apart. Also, make sure you hold the front and back on the fabric to keep the top stitch (the thread) long enough. Remember that it will take a few rows before it looks really shirred because it wont pull too much together on the first few rows. It is hard to go back and forth at the end, it will gather but that is ok. Does that help? Make sense?

So cute! My daughter loves Ariel but I have not found this fabric yet to case it!

You are too cute for words!!! No Megan pose?! I LOVE the outfit! I would SO wear that!!!

how're you feeling Miss Steph? Hope you are better!!!

I used my machine to wind the bobbin and I set the stitch to 5 but when I started and it was really loose.

These are adorable. Where do you get your mickey buttons? I am looking for some for one of the outfits I made my daughter...

Try hand winding, maybe it to too stretched out when the machine does it. And try 4 if 5 does not work after handwinding.

The mickey buttons are scrapbooking supplies. They have stickers on them but it can be removed easily. I have them but have not made any bows with them yet. I have used the bottle caps with bows. They can also be found with scrapbooking supplies.

Thanks! They have some cute palm tree fabric. I havent' been able to find any around here.

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!

So cute! I love that Mickey fabric and your applique looks great!

That is wonderful! I just made a bucket hat for my 5yo tonight and isn't huge on her. It is almost too small for my DD(9)-I'll have to enlarge the pattern for her before I make one. Unless you know the child's head size you run the risk of it being too small. My kids do tend to have big heads though. How about a headband? Would that be easier to make adjustable? I think the outfit is cute as is too!!!!

I've done some letters with my cricut. I just put the fusible on the back of the fabric before I cut and then just ironed right onto the t-shirt!

Very cool!

HELP!!!! I am Shirring the back of Katies Back to School top and I cant figure it out on my Brother CS6000i Yeah, and the first day is tomorrow.

Sorry I've never tried it but wanted to wish you luck!

I may be wrong, but it can't hurt to try. Set your tension way up to like a 7 or 8. If my stitch width is a 5 and my tension is up to a 7 or 8 then, with regular thread, it gathers really well, so it should work with elastic thread I have this machine (costco version) and I have had problems shirring in the past. Okay, I really need to stop DISing and go make a doll outfit I HAVE to finish tonight (haven't started it)
