Disboutiquers Part 17 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[HeatherSue]

Here it is... my very first project. My daughter is going to be the blue fairy for Halloween and my son will be Pinocchio (his isn't quite done yet). I used the Disney Fairies pattern but changed a couple tiny things to make it look more like the blue fairy as opposed to silvermist.

Wow!! That is so pretty! Very ambitious for a first project, but you did a great job! I can't wait to see what you do next!

I have no idea what Luke Skywalker's outfit looks like. But, I think this looks great!! Your little guy is so cute, too!

Ok so my DH is fine with me getting a new machine - I am going back & forth between a Brother/Babylock & Viking - the dealer who sells Babylock, Pfaff & Viking told me that I will get more with the Babylock & it will be more user friendly. The Babylock Ellagio is what I am looking at - He told me it is the same as a 2500 Brother. Does anyone know if the built in Disney designs are availible to purchase? I know the Babylock does not come with Disney Designs. I have already been drooling over the Etsy availible ones. And I know what ones I want first. I already have my first projects too. I am making Feliz dresses for the girls for Christmas. I have 2 out of 3 main materials picked out. And I think I have the third too. But still not sure. I do have a question though -- Is there software to make you own designs?

I just wanted to say that I have a Viking Designer 1 and I love it! It's an older machine, but it works great! I wouldn't buy a machine because it comes with Disney designs. You'll be wanting designs that don't come on the machine very soon!

I think we're going to make an unexpected trip to the world! We didn't get to go in Sept. like we usually do and we've been going through withdrawls. DD, GoofyG, has been dying to go at Christmas time. I'm still waiting for her to decide if she can afford to go.:I've found a good deal on a condo and am antsy to get it booked. We have to wait until DGD5 is out of school for Christmas break, so this will be the first time to be there so late in the month. I hope it's not too crowded.: We are going to try and drive it straight through. That is the only way we can get 5 days in the parks and still get home before Christmas. If we go that means I have to have all of my Christmas ready before we go, since we won't return home until Christmas Eve.:Keep you fingers crossed!!

How exciting! I'm thinking you guys can swing by Michigan to pick me up. It's right on your way and all!

Y'all put up with my fussing all weekend, seems like the least I can do is post a pic of my first big project. This is for me to wear to MNSSHP Friday night. I'm happy with how it turned out, but next time I'll try it without spray adhesive on the fabric layers...it was an option listed on several of the tutorials, but it made trimming difficult.

That's really cute! You did a great job!

Hey everyone!
I finally finished Michelles Big Give Outfit last night. I had a minor incident with the tink applique which resulted in a hole on the side of her hair! So I had to improvise a little.
I also need the address so I can ship this today. I pm'ed you on the big give board Jessica.

hmm I don't know why that one is so tiny? Weird!

You already know this since I told you on the phone. But, I love this outfit!! It's just adorable!

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! The things you guys make!!! I am SO impressed!! I wish I could sow. I have seen the most original disney (and non disney) clothes come by. Especially for the little ones. I really enjoy looking at all your lovely selfmade outfits and I really wanted to say how awesome you guys are

And I can't deny that I am the teeny tiniest bit jealous. I mean, it's not that I can't sow on a button... it's just that I can't make it look good

!! MUWAHAHAHA!!! We've got you now!! You will be sewing up a storm in no time. No buttons required!

Here are the pics of the stripwork jumper/top and easy fit pants - loved these CarlaC patterns!!! I made them for Kendall's 6th birthday and our trip to the American Doll store in Dallas. She picked out Rebecca for her doll. I had also made Kristin (8) and her doll matching CarlaC peasant blouses - but she refused to wear them - the stinker!!

What fun! Everything looks so cute! Your girls are so pretty!

I changed my avatar. DD3 wanted me to use that other picture and I just couldn't look at it anymore. Besides, she is much cuter than me and she is wearing my favorite Vida!

I almost didn't recognize you!

 

[birdie757]

I've been working hard to get some Christmas embroidery designs finished and now that I'm done with them, I hope to have a little more time to Dis!

Welcome back! I just went to check out your new designs and they are awesome! You have been busy haven't you?

 

[HeatherSue]

I just went way back to October 3 to try and catch up. I noticed a couple of questions about the outfits I posted before I left. I feel bad because I just posted and ran since I was trying to get ready for the trip! I just now realized I didn't give credit where credit was due on several outfits. I'm so sorry Steph and Tom!!

Stephanie made and gave me the Minnie outfit for Tessa:

Stephanie also made gave me the Snow White dress:

I bought this dress from Tom:

I knew that was you in your Ariel shirt this afternoon! My family passed you pushing the kids in the stroller towards the front of MK. We were headed back on the monorail...for the last time this trip. We are headed home now. Have fun!

I saw a stroller at AK last night that had to belong to a Diser--there were about 4 or 5 LGMH hanging off the handlebar!

You saw ME?!! Wow! That is so cool! Were you on the monorail when you saw me, or on your way to the monorail? Was I sweaty and gross?

 

[Taylor'sMom]

Love all the talent here!!!

Does anyone sell, or could recommend an e-bay seller, for doll clothes to fit American Girl dolls?

thanks!

 

[ireland_nicole]

I FINALLY HAVE A NICE PICTURE OF THE GIRLS IN THEIR DRESSES!!!!

Thanks for looking!
Carol

Great pics!!!! And of course, I'm hoping you'll let me case one of them for our next trip bwaahaahaaha (ok that was my sad evil laugh, but you get the idea.

Where did you find such cute knits! That outfit looks great! I lost the picture of the baptismal blanket, but it's gorgeous! The Big shirt looks great! Tyler is going to love it!


Thank you so much for saying that digitizing is hard! After "someone" commented that it's like paint by numbers with no artistic inspiration, my feelings were a little hurt.

Thanks for the comments, heathersue- I just happen to know a great digitizer I got the knits at Hobby Lobby- they have a bunch more great patterns I'm dying to try.

As far as the digitizing comment, obviously, anyone who says that has never tried digitizing.

 

[WDWAtLast]

For those of you who own AG Rebecca....is her hair really hard to take care of? I think my DD really wants her for Christmas, but I am wondering if Rebecca will have tangled hair all of the time since it is curly? We have a hard time keeping her Just Like You doll's hair looking nice and it is not curly!

Rebecca's hair is not as easy as Kit's hair (I think mainly because Kit's hair is short!) but it isn't too hard to restyle, either. It does tend to get the "tangled look" easily, but I can usually just finger comb the hair back into curls pretty quickly. Or if I use a brush and section the hair back into loose curls, it looks just like new. She really is a very pretty doll!

Beautiful pictures, beautiful girls and beautiful dresses!

I've been gone for so long, I hope you still remember me!

We were at Disney from October 3-10.

Then, Tessa got sick. She's better now, but they canceled school for the last 2 days due to so much illness.

Glad that Tessa feels better!

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

Love the Halloween outfits,a nd I really love the patch on your shirt!

I did this a couple of years ago, but loved collecting all the sparkly things for it!

what a gorgeous dress,a nd love the sparkly shoes.

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Thank You everyone on the wonderful comments on our pics, the girls & the dresses! Evie is not the easiest person to get single pictures of.

As for the machine - The guy at the sewing place has me thinking the Babylock will be the way to go. I have so many designs on my etsy wishlist right nowMy DH actually offered to go with me on Saturday when I go try out the machines. I am so excited! I have so many designs in my head. I have 2 of the girls dress material all picked out and waiting for my feliz pattern to come in the mail. I have posterboard ready & waiting to use to make patern pieces. I think it will be too late to put my GhostMickey scrub top on ebay before Halloween but we will see. Maybe I will hold it for next year and try to get a few done for a craft fair.....

Love the outfits I have seen --
Shannon - I love those Minnie jeans they are soo cute!

OMGosh, they turned out so cute! Your girls are beautiful! I love the formal pictures in their outfits!

Seriously, I am so disappointed in you all that you couldn't get to a new thread before I made my way back over here. It's pitiful!

I'm so glad you had a great birthday trip! What a great surprise to have all of your girls together! That must have been so much fun!

Thank you so much for saying that digitizing is hard! After "someone" commented that it's like paint by numbers with no artistic inspiration, my feelings were a little hurt.

We have been waiting for you to come back to post!! Now we will make it to the new thread!

Okay, I minimized how long it took me to digitize... 3 days, yes 3 days to digitize a circle with some words..... so I LOVE my digitizers!!

Okay I'll do my part to boost the post count.

I paid my deposit, via paypal, last night for the condo. She said she would email me a confirmation number after I paid the deposit. As of right now I still haven't received one. How long should I wait before I start panicking? I've sent a couple of emails but I'm sure she is at work and probably hasn't seen them yet. Should I call the phone number given on the listing or just wait?

I hate uncertainities! I guess that's why I tend to want to be the one planning things so I feel like I have some control over what's going on.

 

[ireland_nicole]

OK ladies, I really need to find a job soon, or start marketing my stuff, because the only thing that's keeping me remotely sane is sewing. I'm giving lessons to a couple of friends, and at least making use of some of my stash.
Here's the dress I made this morning for DD. I thought minnie needed a little somethin somethin so I made her a little hairbow to match the surround part of DD's halloween hairbows I made last week.

feel free to let me know if I'm posting too much, or if anybody needs help sewing anything... I guess I'll start working on Christmas stuff and the Tiana dress I have in my head.

BTW, we really, really need a sewing smiley!

 

[momtoprincess A]

I am just stuned looking at all the beautiful things you guys have sewn.
It makes me feel kind of silly posting mine
So here it is... my first ever vida with a molly peasant under. This is for "black and orange" day at school next week. I'll try to post some pics later of Abigail wearing it.

This is the front

The back

With the molly peasant under.

On a sad note ~ the trip for Abigail's 9th birthday is a no go. I couldn't convince dh and he has no desire to visit Florida.

PANIC ATTACK AVERTED

I just heard back on my reservation. She will email me the confirmation number this evening after she gets home from work. Whooo!!

Who are you getting the condo from? Most of the places that rent houses and condos in Florida are owned by people in England. So, there may be quite a time difference if that's the case. I'd wait until tomorrow to start panicking!

feel free to let me know if I'm posting too much, or if anybody needs help sewing anything... I guess I'll start working on Christmas stuff and the Tiana dress I have in my head.

That's really cute! I just love candy corn stuff!

You most certainly should NOT be ashamed to post that! It's SO cute! Did you piece all of those strips together? Very clever!

You should take a play from my book and leave the Disney-hater at home! I just got back from a trip with just me and my kids. It was great! My husband refuses to go to Disney, so we have started going without him. There's much less pouting that way!

I love the fabrics you used. Congratulations on your first Vida.

I have 8 days left until we leave and at least 8 outfits to make.

I need some encouragement. . .

I wish I had some to offer but I am in just as bad of a time crunch as you...

We leave in 16 days and I have one halloween costume, 4 maternity scrubs tops (for my sister), 5 embroidered t shirts, an entire crib bedding set (again for my sister) and I was hoping to get at least 1 most custom done too. I can already tell it isn't all going to happen At least I have 1 patchwork twirl that is all finished except for a bodice...that shouldn't be too hard.

If it makes you feel any better, Halloween is a week from Saturday, and I still have to make and mail 3 adult Snow WHites, 2 child Snow Whites, 2 Dorothies, 2 Alices, a Cinderella and 1 adult Mary Poppins......

Feel better now???? I don't.......... Now back to the sewing machine........

On the up side, the Post Office is not longer in the red. My express mail fees have pulled them back in to the black!
