DISboutiquers

I finished a couple things this weekend.
Here is the Cheshire Cat Dress.

I love the Cheshire Cat!!!

Aimeeg- I love the Cheshire Cat outfit. Where did you find the black material with the smiles on it?

I second that - where did you find the black & white fabric?

I'm loving all the kids outfits. They are so adorable. I wish that my girls were still little so I could CASE or CAB something. Someday maybe I'll have grandkids that I can sew for. My mom made a lot of things for my girls when they were growing up so they did get a lot of cool custom outfits.

I agree there are some great children's customs here. It is nice to see some adult things too Your top looks great.


Here are a few of my customs.
I did this on before our October trip. The minnie jeans are from Disney shopping, but I customized the jacket.

This is my second attempt at this top. The first one was way too small for me so UpDisney's daughter's will benefit from that. The second attempt fits, but I am not impressed with the way it fits. I will try it with a cami underneath and see if I like that better if not Vicki's daughter's will get a second top

I love the jacket! Super cute. I was going to buy a pair of those pants, but they didnt have my size! Poopy!

Last night I made my first twirl skirt. I had a lot of issues. I think my main issue is that I don't really know how to sew.

A few problems I had:

-I gathered the skirt before I pinned it together. I didn't read the directions right. This resulted in uneven gathers.

-My fabric wasn't long enough. I still don't know how I was supposed to fix this. The directions said to buy one yard of each type of fabric, which I did. But then I was supposed to cut a stip that was like 80 inches long. One yard isn't long enough for that. Was I supposed to sew two strips together to make one strip? Because it wasn't long enough, it's not very "twirly."

-When I was gathering my thread kept breaking. Any tips for this? Or do I just need better thread?

-I cut really uneven. I don't have a rotary thingy, because I don't know what it is.

I also made an applique shirt to match. The applique is really crooked. I can't seem to ever get them straight. I had my niece stand crooked so it would look straight!

She tried to twirl, but I didn't use enough fabric. Whoops!

A little closer up shot of the shirt.

Hi - here is my try at Valentines outfits - the doggy and the LOve(onesie) shirts were from last year - I couldnt believe it when I got them out that I had fabric that matched pretty well!!! I tried finding some matching rick rack or something for the black outfit, but nothing quite matched the pinks and reds in the hearts - I also got a pair of black leggings with red stripes on them to complete the outfit.....think it will work????

i was also wondering if someone could post a pair of overalls where you sewed a little skirt around the middle???? I couldnt find it in the pictures - was I seeing things? How do you make those??? Thanks!!!

Those VD dresses are so sweet looking. I Love the purple one!

Hi All! today we spent the day at MK...boy was it crowded!! It was hot, too so that didn't help things. Ireland is already in bed, she fell asleep in the car on the way home, and my feet are so sore, they feel like I walked 100 miles.
I will post some pictures tomorrow. We did most of the usual, but Ireland FINALLY got the wicked stepmother's autograph. She had been waiting a while for that one. Anywho, I'm off to bed...

oooh! We were there yesterday! You are right about the crowds-it was a little crazy!

 

[sugarbees]

Well, I'm almost done with the shirt. I have to finish the areas where I ran the elastic and hem it. I'm not too sure what I think of it. I think the color is too pale for me. I'm proud of myself for getting this far on it and not giving up. It will be the first time I have ever sewn anything totally without assistance. I did ask my husband to verify I was laying the material out right before I cut it out but that was it. He is the sewer in the house.

How cute are you? Looks great! My DH is a sewer too...I'm always asking HIM questions!!!

I finished a couple things this weekend.

Here is Blue Belle with little chip.

Here is the Cheshire Cat Dress.

I also got a little treat from this week. Check out the Belle Bling!!!!

It goes with this.

Finally I cannot remember if I posted the improved Nemo Dresses. These were the first thing I ever made. I had to adjust the babes because it was too long.

I cannot wait until my girls can see all this! It is killing me!!!!

AWESOME! So beyond cute, can't even stand it! And way to keep it a secret...NICE!!!!

Okay, I made everything except the red & white polka dot skirt my oldest DD is wearing. They got so many compliments on these outfits.
Yes, we did have a great trip. I have missed the disboards and my diboutiqers. I see so many new names I don't recognize. Nice to meet you!

I made my son's outfit but CastleCreations made the girls.

My DS's is made using that camo Mickey fabric.

WOW! LOVE it all! What super duper cute kids too!!!!

*sniff*...I remember spending the day at MK....oh to be back in Florida...as I look out my window and see about 4 feet of snow....what a great way to spend a Sunday!!!!

I went today and bought the silver ric-rac to add to Parker's skirt. I am quite please with how it turned out.

We went this afternoon and bought our Hannah Montona 3D movie tickets and when we got home I was telling Parker that she could wear her "Rock Princess" shirt (it has 2 tiny guitars on it) and she said "no, I have to wear my new skirt". So, we'll see what she will be wearing tomorrow.

Also, I had planned on appliqueing "I Love (heart) Troy" on the white l/s tee that I bought but I am really afraid it will bring it down some. What do you all think about this:

1) Finding a white shirt that has a bling heart on it (if I can find one) or
2) Having someone do embroidery on it?

Turned out GREAT! The silver is perfect!

I think this turned out great! It is cute. You just learn from your mistakes. I think you did a great job on the applique.

These are cute! I miss when my DDs were babies.

HI - I am a newbie here that was inspire by you all. I have two best friends who just had babies and two other acquaintances. . . I wanted to give them shopping cart covers as a gift - but most of the one's I saw were about $50 So, inspire by you all I got a pattern and made 4 of them (2 sets with $1 a yard fabric (the first two I made) and two with nicer $2 a yard fabric from Walmart). Anyhow, I am SUPER proud of the 3rd and 4th ones I made. I made them all reversible.

Here's a pic of the first two on a Target cart:

Other side of it:

The one's with the nicer fabric, that are wayy nicer in terms of all the sewing. . .

These two have attached straps with snaps for toys:

In between I made my SIL some PJ's - she is having surgery and needs either gowns or oversized t's - since she doesn't wanna feel like an "old lady" I got men's 2X shirts, and then cut out her first and middle initials (AJ - which is her nickname) and did my first aplique job - FAR from perfect, I gotta get the speed down, but ok and made with love and that should count above all:

THANKS for all the inspiration. . . now I am going to try to applique some stuff onto baby onezie's and pants. . .

Does anyone remember how to get photobucket OFF of mobile?

I LOVE the shirt and the fit!! I think it looks GREAT on you!

WOW! What a great start. I Love the shopping cart covers. and what awesome little gifts they make.

I am sure your SIL will love her shirts! I know what its like after surgery and comfy pj's is a must!

I know that Teresa quoted someone here, but somehow it was lost when I quoted.

ACTUALLY, that thought HAS been brought up before:
http://disboutiquers.proboards106.com/index.cgi

The thought of this was met with GREAT opposition, most of which is felt by top posters of this thread as well as the original. The overwhelming thought seems to be that if we aren't attached at the DIS, and all on this thread, that it's not a good thing. Or at least that's what the thought that has been presented here has been. BUT... now it appears that maybe that isn't the thought... who knows?

What I DO know... the original thread is gone. I personally have made SEVERAL requests to MODS to please give an explanation as to where/when the thread is or if it will be back. I've not as much as received a courtesy PM. NOTHING! I know that I personally, as well as MANY here that spent a LOT of time and energy pouring into that thread. I feel as if we've been misled about the thread. I also feel that this thread will disappear quickly as well. And as much as I hate to sound nasty, I don't have it in me to post detailed instructions or help in this thread as I know it will be soon be gone as well. I'm more than willing to help someone out via PM, and have done it many times. I'm also working on posting instructions that I've noticed on this thread onto the site that I've already posted. It's a means of archiving information so that it's not ripped out from under me again.

I've invited anyone to join me. Many have joined, but few have posted. Perhaps when this thread goes under as well, others will see the value of a board that we can have a bit more control of.

I don't want to start another board, as I've said before, all I was doing was moving the tips that I bookmarked from this board to somewhere more stable. I do NOT want people posting there, it's just to replace the links in my bookmarks. Sorry I didn't make that clear with my first reply. I'm sorry Shannon if you thought I didn't want a new board and then up and started my own! I had allready been putting some of the bookmarked tips onto 4shared.com months ago, but I didn't want people to have to download everythign to view it. (They are pdfs on there). Sorry for the confusion!

 

[DisneyMama629]

These turned out great!




Does anyone remember how to get photobucket OFF of mobile?

I made my text size giant by going to view. Then I was able to see the link. Why the heck does it keep going to mobile?

 

[PrincessKell]

mine did that too!

I just clicked down at the bottom of the page. non mobile photobucket.com thing and took me to the normal view

 

[2cutekidz]

For photobucket, click on the last line on the bottom left of the screen.

 

[revrob]

Thanks! I think that took care of it. That was very strange!

They didn't have my size either. I bought a size bigger and altered them
