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

[jham]

Here is my random picture of the day. Megan has been extra helpful lately so I took her to pick out her own beta fish today. Of course she got the pink one! His name is Sunny. I do not like how the bamboo sticks out of the bowl, any suggestions?

I was looking at some old pictures and thought her hair looked cute shorter so we chopped it off. She loves it!

I did not get to the hat and I had to mail it out today. I am a little sad that I couldn't get it done in time but I hope they'll be happy anyway!

The shorts I made by sewing a line of 4x4 squares together. Then I serged and topstitched. Then I attached the lines and serged and topstitched. When I had a piece big enough, I cut out the pattern pieces. HTH!

Megan looks so cute with her haircut!

I haven't shared much lately, things have been busy here

Gabi just turned three and we had a princess birthday party for her and her friends brought her a My Disney Girl doll from the park

All the girls got makeovers

I can't find a pic of them right now, but each girl got an embroidered ballet backpack with their name on it for their goodie bag

Our trip to DW is in September from the 7th-14th and we're all getting really excited. We even started our countdown chain today

Anyhow, here's what I just finished for Gabi:

It's a travel pillow, it has Dora fabric on the other side with a handle to carry it with. I found something like it on Etsy and CASED it.

The teensy bit of her pants that you can see are Carla's Easy Fit Pants from YCMT

I am so proud of this bowling shirt, my last attempt at a collared shirt was awful and this pattern was amazingly easy, thanks Carla

Great job on everything! I love the pillow, it reminds me of the Marie pillow I saw over on Heathers TR.

Hey, has anyone heard from Linnette lately? I've noticed she hasn't graced us with her presence. I hope everything is okay, and she is just sewing away as usual.

I've been thinking about her too. I hope she's not suffering from her headaches again.

I just got back from an IN PERSONBig Give drop off! I got to meet Bigdisgrandma, Bigdismom, and the family. Those 3 kids are adorable! I have pictures, but my camera battery has to charge up before I can get them off so I'll post them later tonight!

Here's what I finally got finished up today. I've been working on them on and off for more than a month! These are more of my "use the stash" projects. I think they came out really cute... if I say so myself.

I also got the top done for the quilt I'm making as a gift for my niece and her DH (well, actually for the baby but he's not born yet). I was up way too late last night trying to get it done. I'm not totally sure if I like it but I'm warming up to it. I'm off now to get the layers pin basted so it's ready to quilt (by machine) tomorrow.

I am in LOVE with these! I agree that Alice may be my favorite, but I'm really liking Belle!!!! So will these find their way to ?????

I love them all but something about the Alice set makes me wish I could wear it. I need to find some of that fabric you posted. I think it would make cute Capri Pants. Good luck with the quilt. I can't wait to see what fabrics you put together.

Here's the Car's hat I made my DD(5) Emma. It is a size XL and is a teeny tiny bit big but I don't mind. It fits my DS(7) perfectly and while my DD(9) can get it on it doesn't provide enough sun cover in my mind so I'll try to enlarge the pattern for her. Emma tried it on when I didn't have the lining in it yet and I asked her if she liked it and she said "kind of". She's not crazy about polka dots. She was asleep when I finished last ngiht so she put it one all finished this morning with HUGE smiles and didn't say anything about the polka dots or the flowers on the inside.

How cute is that!!! Great job!

I remember not long ago several people were discussing unfinished projects. We talked about having things we'd started and then lost "steam" when it came to getting them finished. Well, I'm trying to get my unfinished objects (aka UFOs) finished finally! Here's one that was all but done back in February!!! All I had left to do was add the ruffle on the top and secure the straps in the back. I just never got to it I think because the top didn't come out like I'd planned so I lost interest.

I know it's kind of late for a set like this but at least it's done. I also finally did some of the finishing for the Snow White dress - I closed the lining and finished the hem on the bottom ruffle. I still don't know what buttons to use so I'd love to get suggestions. I though about getting apple shaped buttons but haven't found any so I might just go with my standby option - fabric covered buttons.

These are oh so cute too! I would use covered buttons.

Here are the outfits that I finished for Robin+5's girls. They both love Eeyore and have and ADR for Crystal Palace. Sorry for the bad pictures, it's been dark and rainy here the last few evenings.

Katelyn's

Morgan's

That Eeyore fabric is so cute. I haven't seen it before. Great job!

Check at the Dollar Store or Big Lots for princess crowns. I needed the crown for my niece's costume and I had to remove an oval princess piece that had Ariel on it. It reminded me of a cameo.There were crowns for most of the Disney princesses.

Thank you RIE'SMOM I would have never thought to look there.

I try to save buttons off of anything we get rid of. Can you make your own? Use the covered buttons and put a peice of your fabric in. Or even do some Iron on of a clipart, and then use that fabric.

How do you cover a button with fabric????

I don't think the overall look of the dress would look as good if I just used a button but thank you for the idea.

This is my first and last patchwork twirl skirt. I had a lot of problems making this skirt.

I like the way it looks. I just did not like making it.

It is adorable! Piecing together all those squares and then gathering it up must take a lot of patience.

I haven't tried one of those yet but they are really pretty.

Wow Lisa you are being so good lately using up your t-shirt stash and finishing UFO's and all! Very impressive! Don't you feel so happy when you get stuff accomplished??!! I give you sooooo much credit doing everything by yourself....I really do!!!!! You definately deserve three dancing bananas!

Thanks Bernadette for posting the bucket hat pattern. I just HAD to get it. Leighanna loves to wear hats now. She has sadly outgrown the bows and pigtails.

Anyway, here are a few photos of my finished one. I use all scraps that I had in my scrap bucket. I think I will do a couple of things different the next time I make it. Definitely use the paper piecing technique that is in the pattern. I tried it the other way and it turned out all wopperjawed or cattywhampus! That ended up back in the scrap bucket!

Showing it with the brim rolled up and looking silly with the hat inside out!

Turned right side out:

How do I go about buying an outfit like this from one of you amazingly talented people? We're heading to WDW in March '09 for my daughter's 8th bday, and would LOVE for her to have something cute like this to wear, as she's growing up so fast on me! I can scrapbook, but can't sew anything more than a button to save my life! I made a pillow in home ec in high school, and even that turned out badly....

Let me know, is this a fairy godmother thing or do you have a real boutique somewhere that I haven't found? you guys do great stuff!

I LOVE these! They are so adorable, and the fabric choices are fantastic as usual.

I am done with the outfit now I have to decorate some flip flops, I have red tulle, Yellow 1 in. grosgain and black satin ribbon. Now I need some inspiration
Here are a few pics of the back to school outfit.

Skirt, I am so proud of this skirt and how it turned out.

Maddy in her umm, dress thats not done yet( ignore the dirty face it was before bath time)

I will try and get some good pics tomorrow before school.

Cute outfits! I really like the skirt, and the dress is adorable

I really like this pattern, and love the cars print with the polka dots, it makes it a little more girly.

It's adorable! Looks like Jenna loves it too!

SO cute! The girls are going to love these! and I wish I could find some of the fabric

Wow your girl is growing up too! She looks so pretty in those pictures! Love the bucket hat, I'll be buying that pattern eventually.

Here is a photo of the doll outfit I made in a super hurry last night so it's not too exciting. I made it for DD's friend to match this skirt I made her:

yes, Kit is having a bad hair day. BTW DD's friend I made this for looks exactly like Kit, only her hair is a little darker.

And here are some pics of the stuff I took to Bigdisgrandma's family today:

 

[luvinyou]

I am finished my Big Give #6 [Nicoledisneyfan] SeaWorld Custom for Victor. At first I tried to wing the pants and made them about 3 sizes to small, so I used the sewsensible Tween boutique pant pattern, since it was the only one I had handy.

I bet Brody, Karlyn and Gabby were so excited to get all those goodies! and Karlyn's outfit is gorgeous! I am jealous that you got to personally deliver the gifts.

Hey all! Happy Friday! I finally finished up Baby Jack Jack! I don't have a model at the moment - she's asleep!

Here's the front -

It's sort of a case of LisaZoe's Snow White dress - thanks Lisa for the inspiration!

Tonight, I'm working on underwear! Yes, underwear! From this website: http://darnkat.wordpress.com/2008/07/23/check-it-out/

It's That*Darn*Kat's (of roundneck top fame) pattern and I just think they look so cute! So, I caved and bought the pattern and am going to try it out tonight!

You can get the buttons to cover at most stores that carry fabric. They usually seem to be with the notions rather than with the buttons. They are very easy to do, basically you cute a circle of fabric the right size, put it over the button top so it wraps to the back and snap the back section of the button in place.




You can buy a kit:
http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat3675&PRODID=xprd357300

Instructions:
1.Cut button pattern from back of package. 2.Place pattern on fabric and cut fabric circle. For sheer fabrics, line with an extra layer of fabric or interfacing. 3.Center fabric(C), right side down, over white mold(D). Hold fabric firmly and press button cover(B) into mold with blue pusher(A). 4.Tuck fabric into button cover and use pusher to hook fabric onto teeth. 5.Place backplate(E) over button shank, press down firmly with blue pusher(A). 6.Remove button by pressing on bottom of mold(D).

They come in a bunch of different sizes.

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions about the covered buttons. It looks like I will be making a trip to Hancocks tommorrow.

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

definitely. i think it is perfect for an 11 year old. i just went shopping with my nieces 11 and 13 for our disney trip and they each got quite a few patchwork shorts. and okay i got myself at patchwork skort for the trip

Here's what I finally got finished up today. I've been working on them on and off for more than a month! These are more of my "use the stash" projects. I think they came out really cute... if I say so myself.

I will try and get some good pics tomorrow before school.

so adorable my ds is starting kindergarten, but i guess i cant send him in anything as adorable as this. oh well only one more year til dd starts preschool. i shouldnt rush her though as she is my baby.

That's cute. I wish Jenna would wear hats. I would love to make her a hat like those. I made her a couple of hats to match some of her outfits and she won't wear them.

okay now i wish i had extra fabric from the stuff i made so i could make hats

I remember not long ago several people were discussing unfinished projects. We talked about having things we'd started and then lost "steam" when it came to getting them finished. Well, I'm trying to get my unfinished objects (aka UFOs) finished finally! Here's one that was all but done back in February!!! All I had left to do was add the ruffle on the top and secure the straps in the back. I just never got to it I think because the top didn't come out like I'd planned so I lost interest.

I know it's kind of late for a set like this but at least it's done. I also finally did some of the finishing for the Snow White dress - I closed the lining and finished the hem on the bottom ruffle. I still don't know what buttons to use so I'd love to get suggestions. I though about getting apple shaped buttons but haven't found any so I might just go with my standby option - fabric covered buttons.

i want to wear the snow white one. it is phenomenal (sp?)

also i am attempting to make bows and am not having luck finding french barrettes anywhere. i dont have time to order online before we go so any suggestions ladies? i have tried sally beauty supply , two other local beauty supplies, duane reade , cvs, wal mart and target. help pretty please any other stores you can think of ( otherwise my psycho self will start buying bows and taking them apart just to make coordinating ones.
