Disboutiquers Part 19 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[Tinka_Belle]

Please...don't let my grand daughter see the kitty!!! She has been begging for one for months!

Thanks everyone....those suggestions were right on the money! I have checked with all concerned (at least the ones that will express an opinion!) and we are doing the 7 dwarfs with the girls in a dress using the Peek-a-boo skirt as a base. Their dwarf will be hiding underneath!


Now, why do I feel like I am cheating!!! I am looking at someone else's embroidery site. (only because Heather Sue doesn't have the dwarfs...) I really feel like I am cheating on my spouse! My husband is about to fall in the floor laughing at me! Oh well......



Nini

I know how you feel! I won't even look at another site, because I feel like I would be cheating! I keep thinking that if I am going to spend money on designs shouldn't they go to a friend? I can justify it sometimes because Heather doesn't sell In The Hoop much yet and I am such an ITH junkie right now!

I love the 7 dwarfs idea!!!

And, just think how I feel when I look at other sites! She's my sister! I was trying to find some Belle designs the other week and felt SOOOO guilty just looking at other people's things! LOL! In the end, I used a free book I found and Heather's Belle's and her Sleeping Beauty rose. Oh, and a tiny little free teacup I found!

I'll post these on the Big Give site too...here's the princess outfits for Ali and her sister Maya. Ali is the Tink, and Maya Sleeping Beauty. Tink would fit Rebecca, but she's in a snit now because I don't have her Tink dress done yet, so she wouldn't model for me. Tink is frankenpatterned Simply Sweet with a petal shaped Scallopini skirt. The fabric has a gold glitter sparkle to it. Sleeping Beauty is a Portrait Peasant, the same as I mentioned with the post of Rebecca wearing hers. I'll get these mailed tomorrow.

I really love the dresses you made. I think Tink is adorable with the tulle underskirt. Great Job!!

 

[kittycat9]

Here is a photo that shows the entire length of the boys' pants. There was a lot of time in those outfits, but it was worth it because the boys loved them!

I really like these appliques. On our trip this year, we're planning on doing a pirate day for my son's birthday and dressing them up in pirate clothes at night. But doing a couple cute t-shirts, and maybe zippered jackets for during the day at the parks would be fun. Did you purchase an applique pattern set to copy/cut or are they custom?

 

[twob4him]

WOW - I had no idea I had gotten so far behind! I'm co-chairing a fundraising event next month and at times it feels like it has taken over my life Loved all the great things posted!!



LOVE IT!! My DD2 is so into Toy Story and Toy Story 2 right now. She would watch it 24/7 if I let her!!


The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is going on right now and we took a day off this week to go. We did the same thing last year and practically had the place to ourselves. But this year the day we picked was the same day that the local elementary schools brought students. There had to have been thousands of kids! We couldn't get into the petting zoo and the Borden guy snapped when DD2 stopped to "talk" to Elsie. We still had fun, but I hope next year we pick a better day to go!

Awwwww I just love the outfit and fabric Tammy! Sorry it was busy when you went!

 

[twob4him]

Tinkerbelle mom~ cute cute cute...I love the fabric u picked for tinkerbelle! SB is precious! I know they will both be loved and appreciated!

 

[Granna4679]

Anita, my Mulan uses a very similar pattern. Please let me know if you would like a copy.

YES, YES, YES...Thank you. Sorry for the delay. I have been gone most of the weekend and I come back and am 7 pages behind.

Now - Here is my youngest DD's Bullseye Dress! It is my first twirl. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I made it with waist length Simply Sweet jumper top with short ties.

So cute! Great fabric combinations.

Here is what I worked on today. Another Tiana. This one is calico with pretty much the same underskirt as the last. I guess I am pretty happy with it but it's just HUGE on Julia. She is just skinny. She gets lost in these dresses!

I still have to work on another flower. I will do that tomorrow or Sunday.

More pics on FB.

Great job. She is a doll!!

Okay, so I have not posted in forever and a day. Well at least since late summer. We had a fantastic trip to WDW in January. We stayed at the Poly and it was heavenly. I will have to upload some pics from our trip in a bit. We had planned on going to the beach this summer but decided to go back to WDW instead. Woo Hoo!!! We plan on going for out youngest DD's fourth Birthday. My oldest DD is turning six on Tuesday. Wednesday, I am going to start sewing for our trip.

The last outfit I sewed was for Alice in Wonderland. We had a fantastic time at the movie and my girls LOVED it!!! Here are a few pics.

(Pay not attention to the mantel that needs to be painted! )

I love the Alice outfit. The black and white looks really cute with the blue.
And I can't believe you made it sooo quickly.

Get ready for way too many pictures! These photos were from our trip in January. Honestly with Christmas the trip snuck up on me and I did not really start sewing until three-ish weeks before. I will not make that mistake again!

Arrival at the Poly. It was great to take advantage of the AP discount!

All of the outfits are adorable as are your little ones, but I love the petti picture with Cinderella.

Heather Sue's Easter designs are the cutest!!!! I made the first of two Easter dresses....

These Easter vidas are sooo cute! Great springy colors. The Read Across America outfits and the bag are great too!

*side note, I am one of those moms who is happt to take any opportunity to show of my little "darling"

All of the pictures are so cute but I especially love this one!

We just arrived home from our first Disney Cruise and here is a picture of the outfits that Lisa made for my kids for the Pirates in the Caribbean Party...

Awesoem picture!! Such cute kiddos. Great job on the outfits too Lisa.

Love this pictures. She is just too cute!! We took 3 little ones last weekend and I was soooo bummed that I didn't have time to make them matching outfits but I did buy these and "blinged" them up a little.

[FONT="Comic Sans MSdo not sell, but I do use my sewing abilities for the Big Give.

That being said...I will admit to case-ing something recently for a current Big Give, but not an exact case because I changed it a bit. This is a pic of Rebecca at MK yesterday. This was a trial run dress to see if I could make it work. When we were waiting for her big sister who was on Splash, there was a little girl on the playground who insisted Rebecca was really Sleeping Beauty, and she got mad because Sleeping Beauty wouldn't dance with her. She didn't believe her mom that this was just another little girl.[/COLOR][/FONT]

What a cute pictures and sweet story.

MomtoSamandJames - very cute cake!!

Fairygoodmother - love the Big Give outfits.

Welcome Baby Carly!!
This little sweetie was born almost 2 days ago. Her brothers and sisters died, she was the only survivor of a horrible labor.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I know how you feel! I won't even look at another site, because I feel like I would be cheating! I keep thinking that if I am going to spend money on designs shouldn't they go to a friend? I can justify it sometimes because Heather doesn't sell In The Hoop much yet and I am such an ITH junkie right now!

OOh, tell me what you are making ITH!! I too am a HS design lover!!!

 

[CastleCreations]

OOOHHHHHH!!!! CUTENESS!!! I LOOOOVE kitties!!!! (we have three! )
Did the Momma make it?

Yes, the Mommy made it...barely. We had to pull (literally) the babies out. 3 died and this one was the first one born. The mommy cat wants nothing to do with it, she lets it nurse, but only if I hold her down. It's a shame. I have been bottle feeding her off and on. We'll see what happens. She's the sweetest little thing. I can't wait for her to open her eyes.

 

[kittycat9]

Welcome Katra! And I would love to pic your brain on the Chicago area - we are being transferred to Naval Station Great Lakes this fall, and will probably be in the Ft. Sheridan area, so if you have any info on that area I would love to chat! I feel like this is a very blind move as I know very little about the whole area - but at least it will be adventure!

Sorry I missed this earlier... Oh wow I hope the transition from Paradise to Chicago isn't too much of a shock, LOL (at least you don't have to pay high shipping costs, and getting to WDW is cheaper). Where are you from originally? Or I guess I should ask, what kind of weather did you grow up in? Because our weather changes with the wind, but winter is generally pretty brutal. Last summer was unseasonably cold with the funky climate change and shift in weather patterns - and our winter was actually warmer overall - but more extreme. Will you be on base, or residential? Maybe we should PM a bit I'm in the FW burbs in an equestrian farm community that hit a bit of the xurban sprawl during the boom, just outside of Naperville. I love it - LOVE IT! Kind of the best of both worlds, nice close community feel and new schools, but our costs are a wee bit more contained unlike properties inside/closer to the belt or up North.

Poor thing What does the vet have to say? I'm sure she will become the best pet you've ever had if you plan on keeping her.

 

[melham]

HI. I am trying to use an iron applique for a clippie type bow, but the glue gun "glue" will not stick. It slides right off. I have tried to pull the slick backing off the iron on, but it won't come off. I would really appreciate any ideas!! I posted on the craft site, but I also thought on of you might know also. THANK YOU

 

[CastleCreations]

Poor thing What does the vet have to say? I'm sure she will become the best pet you've ever had if you plan on keeping her.

The vet wants to see her in a week. He was the one who advised me how to assist her deliver the kittens. She would have died if we didn't help her. What a shame though. The poor little baby is in there crying right now, and the dumb mother is just wandering around the house. She isn't concerned about it in the slightest.

 

[Mom2SamandJames]

I really like these appliques. On our trip this year, we're planning on doing a pirate day for my son's birthday and dressing them up in pirate clothes at night. But doing a couple cute t-shirts, and maybe zippered jackets for during the day at the parks would be fun. Did you purchase an applique pattern set to copy/cut or are they custom?

I ordered them from Digital by Design. She is on Etsy. I appliqued them in my embroidery hoop. The anchor and stars I've had for a long time. The outfits were fun to make, and my boys loved them. I actually had an attendee at the party ask me to make him a similar outfit for his birthday next month, and I had a little girl ask me to make her an outfit with princesses on it, so I will be ordering some of them from HeatherSue. Have fun making the clothes! I figure with my boys, my days of customs are numbered so I better make as much as I can now.

Thank goodness you were able to help! Too bad the Mom won't take care of her. Poor little thing. Are the girls ok about the other kittens?

 

[weluvdizne]

I made a reversible A-line yesterday and have been putting off finishing it all day because I was afraid of the button holes for the closures. Then, I was happy to realize that my machine will make the buttonholes for me. I practiced on scrap about 15 times, and was pleased, so I tried it on the dress. I have ripped it out 3 times because it's just not working. It will do the top re-enforcement, then down the left side. Then, it just sits at the bottom going back and forth forever. It never goes up the right side. I tried again on the scrap and it works fine. I am doing the exact same thing. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? Please help me. Thank you!

 

[desparatelydisney]

Can I ask you guys to remember me in your prayers too? I have been sick for about 3 months. At first I thought it was related to my IBS but I am not getting any better. I have lost quite a bit of weight since December and am very tired. I finally went back to the doctor 2 days ago and he said he is very concerned and thinks the diagnosis of IBS may be wrong. He said I shouldn't be this sick and feels I have become malnourished. (which makes sense since the last week I have only been able to eat plain white rice and bread and have still been getting sick). They are going to send me on to a specialist and run a bunch of tests. I went through a lot of these tests about 11 years ago so I am not looking forward to going through them again, but I also can't function like this anymore. They also found a cancer spot on my face that needs to be removed. He feels like it is the type of cancer that will only grow in that spot and not spread into the rest of my body. I am praying he is right. I have been pretty emotional the last few days and am really trying to trust God and not let fear rule my life, but I must admit, it has been hard. Thanks for letting me vent. I believe in the power of prayer so I figure the more people who pray, the better off I'll be. Thanks for listening.

Prayers said! Hopefully you can get some answers soon.

Adorable! Love the color combinations

LOVE the shirts!! Permission to CASE?

Perfect! All of your jean appliques are soooo cute! Glad to hear you liked Pirates & Pals....we are thinking of signing up for this on our next trip.

Here is the cake we made for the party.

Like the outfits, the cake!!

Beautiful! And I agree about HS's Easter designs!

I made my first piece of clothing today. Yippee! It's an A-line. It's non-Disney, because I didn't want to waste Disney fabric if I couldn't get it to work right. But, it worked out great, so now, I'm wishing I had used something cuter than what I used. I can't figure out how to get pix up on here from the my pictures portion of my puter, so maybe somebody can help. Thanks. Anyway, I did realize that my least favorite part of this, is actually cutting out the pieces. Once that is done, I love the construction and the sewing. Next, I'm going to try my hand at an applique. I've read HeatherSue's tute and it looks like something I can do.
Hope everyone's weekends are going well.

Way to go (and welcome to the addiction)!

Wow how did I not see this thread in all the time I have been on here?!?!?! (all-be it intermittent)

You guys are some amazingly talented people!
I have a feeling I just might end up a regular over here with you guys (if you dont mind, lol).

Welcome!! We love fellow addicts! Especially ones with cute kiddos!

Ok I DID IT!!!!! (wiping the sweat from my brow haha!) I made my first twirly whirly skirt!!!!! Its a three tiered skirt in a winnie the pooh fabric. I"m making the top a t-shirt with the same fabric in mickey mouse head pattern, which I think will be cute (maybe?) anyone else have any ideas?

Welcome Baby Carly!!
This little sweetie was born almost 2 days ago. Her brothers and sisters died, she was the only survivor of a horrible labor.

Aww...too bad the mom isn't cooperating



I know I missed someone....10 pages is a lot to get caught up on!

In my non-sewing world, the horses went to the trainer today (they will be gone for 6 months), DH tore his calf muscle in MMA class Friday night , and the chickens he gave me for my birthday on Monday are settling into their coop.

In my sewing world, you all warned me about the Emma being a bear to put together but I just couldn't resist its cuteness! Now I wish I had listened. It certainly isn't one of Carla's patterns, is it?! Off to struggle with more confusing contrast issues....I hate it when I don't understand WHY i am doing a step...


And somebody PLEASE write on my wall when we move, I hate getting left behind

 

[Tinka_Belle]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW



OOh, tell me what you are making ITH!! I too am a HS design lover!!!

Sucker covers was my last thing that I made. I have a Teddy Bear that I plan on making for Jenna for Easter. I have Freestanding Lace that I plan on making too.

 

[Granna4679]

How cute are they! It looks like fun!

Thank you! They had a blast. We had 3 kids and 4 adults and they wore us out. Ha! They we sweeties though.

 

[*Toadstool*]

Thankyou for the wonderful comments.

I do have an overcast foot. I just didn't know how it would handle going over the ruffle edge. Getting on that later today.

Going to Starbucks to get a choc. cherry. hot coco.

Thanks again.

This board is the best in the world. I wouldn't know how to sew at all without you all.

Let me know if you ever need help with something in person.. Or just want to hang out! We're pretty close! Choc cherry hot coco sounds yummy. I'll have to try that next time I am in Houma. I love hot chocolate... and HATE coffee.

Just wanted to say ADIOS, AMIGOS!
see you all in a few weeks!

Hope you guys are having a blast. Can't wait to hear about it!

I just finished two Ariel dresses for two little sisters!!! While they were both so fun to create, the little 6 month sized one kept me smiling!

That little dress is just so precious! I love these, but I adore how tiny that one is.. hehe

This set is beautiful.. really love this.

Did you forget about your ladybug dresses? Those were patchwork like this huh? Or is that not what you were talking about? Anywho.. I think you are brave for cutting out that many squares. I love it though. The denim is just so fun for these dresses. Your kids will look so cute. We need pictures of them in the dresses please!

More pics on FB.

Very pretty.. I need to make a Tiana dress!

PRAYER REQUEST
DGD3, Araeyah, is having surgery Monday morning at 11:00. It is suppose to be a 3 hour surgery. She has a submucous (hidden) cleft palate and they are going to correct it and put new tubes into her ears. As far as we know they will be cutting the entire roof of her mouth and then repositioning the muscles and tissue and stitching it up (think Z shape). She can have no straws or sippy cups and has to eat pureed food for 3 weeks. DD is of course very nervous about the length of the surgery. We really hate to see her have to go through this but it is affecting her speech and we feel that the sooner it's fixed the better. TIA

Hope it goes well. Please let us know. Hope I didn't miss an update. Very scary! 3 weeks of puree can't be easy either!

Thanks again for the feedback on the skirt lengths. I've got all the pattern pieces drafted and measurements double and triple checked. Now comes the hard part - testing each size and trying to write the instructions, create the illustrations and figure out all the other details like yardage needed. BTW - I'm posting my status on this project here so I can hopefully keep on track with it. I found with the first pattern that if I didn't talk about it or keep it on my mental 'To Do' list, it was too easy to let it slide for much too long.

I'll bug you on FB about it... hehe

WOW! loved everything. The smocked creation is my favorite of course.
Love what they have in the picture with Belle too... well love everything. What lucky kiddos you have to have you sewing for them. Love the Little E dresses and the step sisters too!

They look so cute in the outfits!!

Very cute!!

I wanted to share some of the stuff I have made for my daughter for some of our Orlando visits. We only live 2 hours away and use to go a-lot more. These pics are all from at least 2 -3 years back.
I will admit, my daughter is 9 now and would NOT be happy if I tried to put her in this stuff now.
However, these pictures sure do make me smile of the days when "mom said wear it now put it on" was the rule .... hee hee

*side note, I am one of those moms who is happt to take any opportunity to show of my little "darling"

She is adorable! You sure have been busy. We love seeing pictures on this thread! Welcome!!

I saw these when Lisa posted them, but they are so cute on. What a great picture!! Lisa is my sewing idol!!

LOVE IT!! My DD2 is so into Toy Story and Toy Story 2 right now. She would watch it 24/7 if I let her!!

Love her in the cowboy hat. Really cute outfits. She is adorable!! I wish my DD would want to watch Toy Story.. lol.. She doesn't like it and I do so I want her to.

Friday night I was told that no one in this group will make a Tiana dress because they are afraid of me! Could you let me know if this is true or not? I have been copied before and did not call the people out or make any reference to what was copied, just a vague reference to being upset over being copied. So I'm not understanding where this is coming from. I have made two Tiana dresses. The first one that I made was made using the ideas and vision from a child and both the mother of the child and I expressed our wishes for the dress to not be copied. The second dress that I made I don't care if every single stitch on the dress is copied, It was my own interpretation of the dress.

Sorry you are upset by this. I don't think I'd be offended unless they were selling it or saying it was their idea. I'm not familiar with what happened though. At least you know that your work is good enough to be copied.

Love this version. what a cute take on SB.

I know how you feel! I won't even look at another site, because I feel like I would be cheating! I keep thinking that if I am going to spend money on designs shouldn't they go to a friend? I can justify it sometimes because Heather doesn't sell In The Hoop much yet and I am such an ITH junkie right now!

I sent you a message on FB. I'm a big ITH fan too. I don't want to post the sites I visit on here... not sure if others will mind.

I made a reversible A-line yesterday and have been putting off finishing it all day because I was afraid of the button holes for the closures.

Try some stabilizer under the fabric.. I have this issue and using stabilizer helps alot. Also make sure to grade or trim your seams on the inside.. if your foot runs into a thick seam it will likely get stuck and do what you described. This is why I hate the danged automatic button hole foot. Mine got stuck so easily. Stabilizer helped. I just used some stitch in the ditch or water soluble.. make sure it isn't cut away. I just got a new machine and one of the things I love is the manual buttonhole foot. It is just a metal foot and not big and bulky like the plastic automatic. You have to set the size of your buttonhole, but I find it much easier. I was making my buttonholes on other peoples machines when I had trouble with that danged plastic foot!!
