Disboutiquers Part 24 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

Hi Guys!!

Thanks to everyone who came over to the Big Give website last night!!! All we have left for Trace's Big Give is Sea World shirt for him (and maybe his 1 sister ) and some bracelets for the ladies!!!!! Let me know if you think you could help with either of those things!!

If you could say a prayer, my friends 12 year old son, Zach, was hit in the nose with a baseball tonight and is at the ER right now. He wears glasses, and Im so worried they cut into his face....I have a feeling this could be pretty ugly if he was hit really hard. I dont have too much info though, so I dont know how bad it is.......YIKES!!! Thank you!!

Saying prayers Wendy.

My little guy fell asleep at 6:35 on the couch so I sat there and cuddled with him until I put him to bed. I just feel for this child so much. He has not had a normal day since birth. I am heading to bed myself since I am sure he will be up early.

I L.O.V.E. this pattern. Is it a ycmt or CarlaC's?

And the fabrics you put together are really great. I never would have matched those. You women are full of such brilliant ideas.

Everything posted has been absolutely gorgeous. It's hard to keep up with it all!

Yes, the pattern is CarlaC's on YCMT. It is the Maddie top/dress. Goes together really easily.

I LOVE this outfit.

I know you said you got the flower fabric on hancock's online - but what is it called, or can you post a link? I looked through hundred of flower print fabrics and didn't see it!

THANKS!

Yep...Hobby Lobby. I see you found it. I am having trouble with HL site tonight too.

Oh no!!!! Poor guy!!!!

What sort of bracelets for the ladies??? Any idea? My mom makes jewelry and is actually in Mexico right now with my aunt who also makes jewelry ... I bet the two of them would love a little project But I have to give them direction, I can't just say "Disney bracelets" or they'll tell me they don't know what to do

 

[billwendy]

Thanks for the prayers!
Update is that Zach is home from the ER and they don't think his nose is broken, but it is too swollen to xray right now. So they sent him home, and they are to watch it and if its still super swollen on Monday, he has to go back in. Thank Goodness!!!!!

hope he will be okay, keeping him in my prayers

my brother had the same thing happen,got a line drive right to his mouth...he was fine, but the first words out of my mom's mouth (funny now) was "are his brace's okay?" he had just gotten them on the month before! just lots of cuts on his lips and bruises!

I'm lurking again. Beautiful clothes, all!

I'm not sure if ya'll know of this site for finding fabric, but I find it's just the best: quiltshops.com. You just type in what you're looking for and the search engine will do the rest. You just never know what you'll find on there!

I have been playing catch up and finishing up a few orders. Here is what I worked on this week.

A Tink outfit....the skirt (thanks Aimee for the tutorial on the skirt)

and the complete outfit:

And AK shirts (individually and then together). I made them coordinating:

Thanks for looking.

They are all beautiful, I love your fabric combinations.

Thanks for the prayers!

Phew, hopefully its not broken. Poor guy...6th grade is brutal! I will pray the swelling goes down and the bruising is minimal.

I didn't sew these jeans, but I did paint them. Here's the link to the pictures:

TIA!

I am so behind!!! The storms we have had for the past week have been crazy! We lost parts of trees several times and our backyard looks like a forest but we can't clean it up because the rain won't stop!!!

I have been lurking but not saying much lately. I have been in a sewing slump! When I don't sew for awhile, I get nervous to start again. SInce my DD will be two on Friday, I finally got myself to the sewing machine to make her a birthday dress.

Here is the gymboree dress I attemted to copy:

Here is the finished product:

Here is a closer look at the pleats (what a pain, but worth it!):

Oh, and I think I have a future seamstress on my hands. This is where I found her the other day...

I really need to start planning for our DW trip in Sept. We are staying extra days, so extra dresses

So cute!!!

Okay ... so these are NOT Disney outfits, but I really wanted to share some of the pictures from DS#1 and his BFF's joint star wars birthday party ... We asked the guests to come in costumes if they wanted ... so of course we all had to dress up too ... My mom made the boys Jedi Robes for birthday presents ...

Amber (BFF's mom) had a Padme costume, so I went with Leia ... but DS wanted me to be "Ewok Speeder" Leia so here's what I came up with (oh! and Amber decided she was not putting the dang white jumpsuit on again so she needed a jedi shirt so I made her one to wear with her skirt)

Then of course, we had the littlest jedi's of the bunch ... I made their over shirts and DS#2's belt - and boy was he particular!!!

Here's a better picture of DS#1's actual costume ... he wanted to be "teenage Anakin -before he switched to the Dark Side" ....

Of course - Darth Vader made an appearance (Amber's DH already had the costume) which meant my DH got to be the Jedi Master that conducted the Jedi Training ...

Here's a group shot:

We're talking super hi-tech sewing here ladies Pinking Shears to cut the shirts out ... only sewed up the side seams and under sides of the arms (shirts cut out with the fold at the top of the shirt) ... the belts are lots of straight sewing putting two layers of pleather on top of one another one skinnier than the other ... Buckles sewed on for the easy on & off DS#1's pleather top thing (I swear they sort of look like odd suspenders ) was tricky, but it attached to his belt ...

DS#2's boots came from OUAC's girls clearance bin ... leggings too ... DS#1's boots were part of his Star Wars costume from Halloween '09 -luckily bought big- pants are baseball pants from Goodwill ... undershirt out of his closet ...

DS had a SW party last year and we did something similar. GREAT job!!!

Love tink!!!

I keep thinking I'm done with outfits for our May trip and then either myself or DH comes up w/ something. I made this gem shirt for my older dds and myself to wear when the baby wears her Aurora dress and my ds and DH wear the Princess Protection Agency shirts I ordered off of etsy.

Then I made this taggie for the baby b/c she loves the one my mom made but I thought she needed a Disney one for WDW.

And now my dh told me I need to make an outfit for the baby to wear to 'Ohanas - he plans of buying outfits for everyone else while at WDW.

Great job!! Love the bling!!! And the taggie!!!

 

[MomtoAlexnWilliam]

We are headed to Disney on Ice tomorrow and I finally got DD's dress made! She picked out the fabrics and trim.

 

[GlassSlippers]

There are so many *adorable* things posted these days! I need to get busy! We've decided to fly to Orlando in June and the flights are much less expensive on Fridays -Wednesdays than they are on Saturdays - Thursdays, so we moved the date up by one day. Oh no! Twenty four fewer hours of sewing time!

Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. Had some projects to do. Entered our daughter in her first pageant--she won "best dressed" in her age division and had all those everyday things going on to get caught back up on. And now it's time to get a project for an unofficial give done, plus two projects for a co-worker and the 1st grade teachers... Then I have to do the next dress and theme-wear (nautical) for DD's next pageant.

But here are pics of her pageant dress and theme-wear (Flower Power Retro Wear). I didn't realize when I started making her dress and adding the decorative touches how much it looked like Cinderella's dress until my BFF pointed it out.

(sorry the middle pic is so big, I kept trying to get it smaller and no matter what I tried, nothing worked)

 

[mphalens]

Okay! Excuse my feet in these pics, but here are the decoupaged dinosaur jeans I made for Sheriff Shortstuff this afternoon

I definitely learned that straight lines are WAY easier to do a project like this (rather than the rounded edges I used on these dinos) ... and that I like using the multi-shade thread better than a solid (I used blue on one leg and switched to multi-green for the other when I ran out of the blue - way less left on the spool than I thought )

I got the buttons from here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/WanWanCorn...ser_shop_ttt_id_5174032&shopname=WanWanCorner

Thank you very kindly. I wonder if could use those on bracelets as well. I like making Mickey bracelets for gives but detest making Mickey beads out of clay and I'm always worried the ears will fall off. I will have to at least get a smaller set of the buttons or do a better search for Mickey beads.

I'm so glad Trace's give is filling up

I read ahead and saw the nose wass too swollen for an x-ray. Hopefully they'll have him do all the right hings to get the swelling down and he'll heal up as quick as possible. Sounds sooooo painful!

My little guy fell asleep at 6:35 on the couch so I sat there and cuddled with him until I put him to bed. I just feel for this child so much. He has not had a normal day since birth. I am heading to bed myself since I am sure he will be up early.

Awe. Chiara, I'm glad you had some cuddle time with your ds. He perhaps has never expereinced a normal day compared to what you experienced as a child, but for him he may be having a normal day everyday. And keep knowing that you are doing your best for him. I hope you get some really good input from the developmental specialist. I was hoping they would have had a cancellation for you, but they probably have a very long list of people that want those spots.

Whaa!!! I can't get the link to work! FB links work only about 40% of the time for me.

We are headed to Disney on Ice tomorrow and I finally got DD's dress made! She picked out the fabrics and trim.

Have a wonderful time at Disney on Ice! Your ice princess looks like she loves her outfit and I love the carriage applique on it!

Congrats on the win. The dress is fabulous but I really love the flower power outfit!

They look fabulous! Excellent job. I have only done one set of jeans because I so hate taking the seams apart. But I should do more b/c yours are soooooo cute. And I am currently donning the same color toe nail polish

Come on...we aren't at 250 YET? I see how this evil plan is working...you are going to wait until I am not able to get to the computer this weekend and make the move then!

Well, here is my morning post to do my part to get there!

I ordered my daughter a small laptop for her Easter present (we are trying to do away with the idea that you have to have candy for Easter...boy is that ever expensive!) I have been tracking it all week. It was promised delivery by today. It will definitely be delivered SOMEWHERE today, just not to my house. The shipper transposed the last bit of my zip code so it is going to another town about 40 miles from here...unfortunately, there IS an actual street with the same name as mine and evidently a number that is the same as mine.

Hopefully FedEx will be able to figure out that I've called repeatedly to get it corrected and bring it to my house instead... I guess I'll need to make some sort of cute card telling her what she will eventually get!


OK...now your turn. Help us move before I have to start getting ready for Easter...meaning cleaning house!

[chellewashere]

Wow has everyone been busy this week. I love all the pictures. The outifits are all just to dang adorable!!
I have managed to royally screw up 2 tops this weeks so I decided I need to step away from the machine for a little bit Im grabbing all my scrap pieces to try to learn how to work my serger. I dont think it likes me very much
I have to finish up my daughters Easter outfit today. I made the dress and managed to make her a small purse to go with it so I only have the hairbow left to do and since I have tried for 2 days to make a cute boutique bow I have given up so Im going to make one of those ribbon flower ones to try out instead
I hope everyone has a fantastic Easter this weekend if I miss getting on before then.

Oh Nini I hope you get it. If you can get the tracking number call Fed Ex they were really good about helping me one time.

We never give candy for Easter. I need to package the bags we bought for the gifts.

I still am not sure what I am doing I am thinking of the zoo but we may just stay home. I am not sure I want to go to my brothers and deal with the noise there.

I am off to Joanns and lunch with my mom & the kids today.

Ugh!!!! That stinks about the zip code mess up!!!! I've been waiting and waiting for my son's new carseat to arrive (I did a study for Britax and they pay in carseats ) and it's been WEEKS because the pattern I ordered was on backorder They were super nice about updating me (no tracking number though) but I'd pretty much given up ... then the lady contacted me to say it was on backorder AGAIN and it'd be the middle of MAY before I'd get it so if I wanted to pick another pattern I could have it in two days ... so I had DS pick out a different one and then that night the doorbell rang ... it was UPS dropping off the original carseat Apparently they filled my order with the very few they got in ... she emailed me the next morning to say I should have it in a day or so and I emailed her to tell her it had already arrived

Anyway! If the laptop doesn't arrive in time, what about making her a quilted case for it? I have a sleeve for my laptop and I LOVE it ... and I bet you could make something REALLY cute
I even found a list with LOTS of different tutorials for you
