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

[Eyore4Ever149]

Hi Folks!
I know its been forever since I have posted!
I just wanted to hop on and post a few things I made for Megan.
Im also opening an etsy shop. Just pillowcases, etc for now, to see how things go. Im working on a sonbonnet sue applique quilt for DD2 now.
Here are 2 robes I made. One is sort of a play robe- I have panda fabric to make pants to match and the other is a beach cover up lined with organic hemp terry- very soft!
Panda robe-

Nepali Chupa robe for children (Folkwear Pattern)
This will have pink tyes out of the same fabric as the collar, this is sort of my own design since the pattern does not have directions for lining.

reversible

I made Lizzy a Pooh hat. I was able to enlarge all the pattern pieces 5% on a copier. I used the same size to make one for Joe. I still need to add the lining. I bought those patches in 2006.

Those hats are so cute! I love the denim one with all the patches! All the outfits you've made are great, too!

HI everyone!!! Its been a LOOOOOOOONG time. Life has been so crazy. I still have yet to sew anything for Georgia in a long time. Lets see on the update.

Kevin is still gone, so that means I am working two jobs and taking care of the Little Georgia Peach. Its summer, so its been tough with the YMCA bill, but at least the ex in laws are helping with that. She goes there every three weeks so the bill isn't so high. if she was there the WHOLE summer it would have been $1600! Thankfully, they get how hard it is since Kevin isn't really helping $$ at all.

No Disney trip this year.... but working on it.

I am looking at everyones new outfits and they are sooo great! Totally makes me want to dust off the machine and get to town (when I have time of course! )

I hope everyone is doing well. I have missed you all!

Welcome back! I'm sorry to hear your DH (ex?) is not being any help but glad to hear his parents aren't the same.

I love those buttons! And it took me many looks to finally see those threads!

I probably worry about the small imperfections too much. That's why it takes me so long to finish things sometimes. I get discouraged if it isn't perfect and exactly like what I had in mind so find it hard to do the finishing.

I love this dress! has anyone here done a farbenmix pattern? How hard are they? I really like the pattern that was used for this dress.

I've used only one, for a knit hoodie dress/tunic, but have 3 patterns now. IMO they are really pretty simple other than having to trace the pieces and add seam allowance. I love that they can be kept simple or embellished a lot.

FYI - You can get at least one Farbenmix pattern from Burda - I've seen it at JoAnn's. http://www.burdafashion.com/en/Patt...__Trousers_pants/1270778-1129000-1392558.html

I've been tempted to get it just because it's Farbenmix and would already include the seam allowances. LOL

Yes thank you! Hum doing the elastic smaller then the waist size???? I always did DD's the same size as the wast maybe that is why all her skirts are falling off!

I usually cut the elastic an inch shorter than the waist measurement and then overlap about an inch. It does seem to help keep pants and skirts up where they belong but Zoe still had slippage over her belly.

Ok ladies, I did it. After faithfully reading this thread for a year, I bought a sewing machine today !!! I am so excited to get started, I have never touched a sewing machine so while reading the manual I am a little intimidated. I am sure it will take me a while to learn all the bells and whistles. I got the machine, it's a Brother and is a special edition Project Runway model for $130.00. I bought some clearance fabric and will practice on that. We are going to MVMCP in December and my goal is to make matching outfits for DD and DNiece. I bought some Mickey and Cinderella appliques yesterday and plan on finishing off some plain shirts with the appliques and other trimmings.

I am so excited to get started, of course DH has already said don't try to make any matching shirts for him because I would be wasting my time. He is such a party pooper. Oh well back to the manual, you know I bought fabric, good scissors but what did I forget to buy, Thread!!! So back to the store tomorrow after work so I can play around with the machine a little bit tomorrow night.

Congratulations!!

All this new cute stuff!

??? for those of you with 2 yr old girls.

I am making this skirt for my niece and my cousin gave me her waist measurement of 191/2 and that sounds so big for a 2 yr old! Nikki's is only 22 1/2 and she is 8. My niece is very tiny and I know Nikki is tiny but still. When I cut out and put the elastic in the casing it still looks so big.
So my question is what is your 2 yr old's waist measurement. I asked for ehr to measure Anya's waist again but I am not sure she is doing it right. They are in Tampa so it isn't like I can just get in the car and measure it myself.

My neice is here, so I measured her. She's 2, in June, and her waist is a 20. She's very petite and no diaper. Alreay potty trained. I think one of CarlaC's patterns suggests taking off 4 inches for the elastic.

Great job!!! I think I prefer the black buttons to colored ones on this shirt. It looks really good!!!

And I love the girls outfits!!! Too cute!



Those are too cute!!! When Corey was a baby, and Miss Cammie was just barely out of Pampers, he wore hats like that! He was SOOOO cute in them!


Cute!!!! I love these, nice and simple and absolutely adorable!

Thanks!!!

Love that shirt! The girls dresses came out great too!



Those hats are great! I love them both! I showed my mom the pattern today and tried to hint that I really wanted it! You did an awesome job!




Those are cute! And they are perfect for August heat! I am so looking forward to lat sept/oct trip. I know it is still hot, but I am hoping a little cooler!

Thanks!!!

Here's a picture with them in their halloween outfits. Also couldn't resist the sleeping princess.

No my mom didn't make the dress, but it was a beautiful find.

Now this yr she wants to be a pirate, go figure. (it's a good thing though, since I cut her hair short)

so incredibly darling!!!!!

 

[t-beri]

Well, I decided not to bore ya'll w/ more pics from the MK trip. But My DH thinks he's a photographer and every once in a while gets a great shot so I thought I'd share a couple he got while we were there.

For all you Jimminy fans

and here's a great view of Tomorrow Land

Now, on with the show.

Here is Lily's "bubbleduck" dress. It's Carla C's Simply Sweet Tops and Dresses with the halter style bodice. She is wearing her pettiskirt under it though it's a little long for it.

It was a good hair day!

And here is her 4th of July twirl top. It is Dainty Designs stripwork top but I doubled the width of the panels for fullness I used democrat fabric to get taunt my republican aunts (I'm surprised they haven't been disowned by my grandparents ) and to tickle my husband and my Pap. It did just what I wanted it to

The Back

And a twirl

You may notice that we take a lot of pictures in front of my front door. Well, little mostly refuses to go into the grass whenever I want her picture taken and picking the flowers on my Ruellia keeps her entertained while I try to snap a few shots.

So there. I am off to fill out my financial aid....for school that starts in like 2 weeks you know, I mean to do these things. I really do! But my life always seems to be in the way. Hopefully I will get a good amount of aid and at least a few of the classes I need aren't full. It won't be the first time I registered for classes this late.

Ooh, I could run over and measure her for you anything to help out a fellow diser!

 

[Twins+2more]

Anyone here from Linette (MrsMiller) lately. I haven't seen any posts from her lately and was thinking about her.

I asked earlier in the week and only one person replied. Said they pm'd her and couldn't get a response.

Anyone know her personally and tell her that she is missed?

All are so stinking cute!!!!!



Wish me luck! I made my own peasant top pattern for my niece on my own using the one I made for Nik and the chart Lisa posted about sizes. It looks like it could work and I remembered I had a semi bodice pattern from the dress I made her and matched them up and they actually were almost exact!

 

[minnie2]

They are actually in Wesley Chapel but every one always says Tampa since it is the closest big city. How far are you from there? Maybe when I head down there in Nov we could meet up? I know my cousin would love to meet some one else close with a little one.

Closer than I am to Tampa actually. Just about 45 minutes probably. I'd love to meet up in Nov!!

Well, nothing it seems was accomplished here as far as sewing goes. I had high hopes of finishing 3 dresses while my parents were here and I haven't gotten any of them done. And now we are packing up and going to a hotel because the fumes in the house are getting too bad!

The painters are here and they are staining my built-ins and painting my new office and dining room. It really STINKS! So off we all go (parents included since they don't leave until tomorrow) to Embassy Suites. The dog is at his posh kennel so he doesn't have to suffer either. Right now I''m not happy about the color of stain on my built-ins in my family room so hopefully that will get fixed. I'll try and stay in touch but we will be in a hotel for two nights.

Keep sewing!

I came across this dress someone made on YahooGroups for the FarbenMix patterns. I thought it was adorable with the Ariel fabric. Since it's been "cased" alot lately I thought someone else might like to see it. I did crop the head out so no one could see the child.

Hey, this is mine!!! It is the new Feliz pattern that just came out. I made it at the last minute for this little girl. She was making her first trip to WDW and Ariel is her favorite. I wish ya'll could've see how excited she was when she first saw it. I'm not sure what part has been "cased" since it is new pattern, but it is adorable. I am sure we will be a lot of these dresses (I mean this pattern -- not necessarily Ariel) popping up on ebay really soon. I know I have several in the works myself.

Just wanted to update everyone on the Make a wish for my daughter!

We met with our wish granters tonight! In fact we Just walked in the door!

Zoe was so shy lol, but it was adorable! They came with toys for the kids (A cinderella crown, a princess puzzle, Markers, crayons coloring books ect) Zoe's first wish was to go on a disney cruise for a week and swim with dolphins and learn to snorkle! She also added a night in CInderellas castle but I doubt they could do that. lol, It is nice to dream about tho!

They needed a second wish in case the first one could not be granted. She wished for a trip to Hawaii where she wanted to do the same things but also Visit Pearl Harbor and the black sand beach.

Here is a picture of her with her Wish Granters:

We have to wait to see which wish is approved (If any) They said it could take up to 4 weeks but they think it should be a little sonner then that.

Thanks again for letting me share! We are so excited!

Candice

 

[t-beri]

How exciting for you Candice. We're keeping our fingers crossed that you get to go to WDW- WHO NEEDS HAWAII
...t.

MINIGIRL- Great job!! I love this pattern. We had a post of a similar on w/ the butt ruffles (not ariel) recently and a few w/ these Ariel fabric combos. I love the butt ruffles but I'm kinda askeered of a farbenmix pattern!

...t.

I finally did get my financial aid filled out and found out what day the semester actually starts. Aug. 25th. That means I have only a few more weeks of work..

 

[Camping Griswalds]

Miss Mini Girl....I love that dress, and hope you sell it somewhere soon!

 

[Stephres]

Well, it's not in time for MAW but here is the patchwork hat. At first I was not crazy about the pattern. I did not like sewing through the paper and it was taking too long. Then once I got all the little pieces sewn together it went together like lightening! I'll save it for another project.

Went to two wal marts and no eeyore fabric. On a happy note, I had Jacob with me and he picked out two fabrics for himself! That never happens. He wants me to make him a first day of school outfit. Woo hoo!
