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

[Disneymom1218]

WooHoo!!! Due to a crazy morning, both of my kids napped today from 2:30-5:45 (don't ask ... it was BAD) ...

Which meant I had time to clean off the dining room table and SEW!!!

I had already decided that my first project was going to be a pair of decoupaged jeans for Sheriff Shortstuff ... I found two really cute coordinating dinosaur fabrics on clearance at Walmart last week that I wanted to use ...

So I sat down, cut everything out (I'd already taken the seams out of the jeans and prepped them) ... pinned it all on ... and sat down at the machine

I just finished the jeans up about 6:30 ... threw them in the wash ... when they're dry I'll take a pic and post
But they looked pretty cute!!!

My two hangups were:
Deciding what color thread to use to zig zag around each piece

How to sew the legs back up after I'd zig zagged on all the fabric pieces (anyone have advice about that???)

Bolded by me!!

I sew a straight stitch where there was one before and then, since I do not have a serger, I do a zig zag stitch over the edge like it was serged.

I can't wait to see pics.

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!



Nini

At your request Nini I will help move things along -- this is my second post this morning!

I ordered Tangled for dd And Unstoppable for ds as a part of their Easter basket gifts and I didn't order until Monday and elected free shipping so I'm worried my gifts won't arrive in time. I have other things for them -- got dd a Bella Sara gift pack and a train calender from Shutterfly for ds so baskets won't be empty. Those movies better arrive by Monday though so they have something to do on their last day of break other than bug me! Actaully, dh will be home Monday so that will help. His last day on his current ship is TODAY!!!!! YAY!!!!!!

Just give dd a card with a pic of the laptop -- that's what I'll do if my gifts don't arrive. And dh's last order form Amazon tracked checked in at our post office on the 13th and we didn't get it until the 18th! Crappy service!

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.

I'm sorry your serger is having PMS today. Hopefully she'll be better tomorrow. Mine gave me fits one day rethreading it. I was about to toss it out the window. It rethreaded like a dream this morning.
And I'm with you on the bows. I can make them, but it takes a lot of work. I really dislike doing bows.

I will help too with another post before I go shopping.

Just with a happy post about my boy this morning since I always feel like I am complaining

When he finally woke up at 8:10 this morning I went to get him. He gave me the biggest grin. Worth it all right there

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 )[/QUOTE

Hi Marianne,

Those pants are AWESOME!!!

You did a great job, your son will love them. I'm not sure if you're planning on got to DTD, but if you do a great place to visit is the T-Rex Restaurant.


Take care,
Marianne

Hopefully I can help with moving along the pages, I haven't figured out how to multi quote.

Hopefully you will see the FedEx truck today.

Here's some of my latest stuff (I have to upload pictures from other stuff):

For my cousin's baby, her birthday was in March:

And for my friend to announce she's having #7!

Love the dresses!

We are going to Disney Thanksgiving week to celebrate our youngest grandaughters 1st birthday. Would you mind if used your birthday dress for inspiration?

How Blessed your friend is to be a mom again.

Take care,
Marianne

Happy Earth Day....

I thought I'd do my part to help move this thread to 250 before the weekend. Anyway, I made this a couple of years ago for Earth Day. I don't think I ever shared it here though. Sorry about the shadows.

And the back. I did gather the entire back and didn't like it. It was too tight, so I left the gathers in the center only.

And this was a classic Minnie I made awhile back. I wanted to try something new, so I added ruffles to the shirred back. I also made a little clear pouch for a key card or other treasures.

 

[mommy2mrb]

Good morning....will do my part for Nini to get to 250!!!

love all the new outfits! hope everyone has a wonderful Friday! the sun is peaking out through the clouds today!

Helping Nini here too!!!

Doing my part to get to 250!

I was offered a new job yesterday and I am soooooooooo happy! I've been working minimum wage for about 6 months now and this new position pays more than twice that. I was really struggling paying rent and credit card bills and student loans and I'm excited to be able to breathe a little money-wise. I still hate that I won't be using my 6 years of post-secondary education but there are just no jobs in my field right now!

Anyway, the new job starts Tuesday. The schedule is horrendous (3:30-11:30 Sat-Wed) and it's over an hour away by bus but I'll take it!!

So happy to have today off as I've had a busy week! It was my birthday on Monday and my brother's yesterday. With Easter on top od that I am so full of sugar right now!! I'm going to get started on a bag that a friend asked me to make her. If we still haven't moved I'll post pics of the fabrics later.

Happy long weekend, all!

Just for Nini.....

 

[teresajoy]

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


and the complete outfit:

Thanks for looking.

I love these! Especially the Tink outfit!!!

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.

These are so cute!!!!! I love that taggie blanket!

Here's some of my latest stuff (I have to upload pictures from other stuff):

For my cousin's baby, her birthday was in March:

These dresses are really cute. I like the embroidery on the collar of the Precious Dress! And, congratulations to your friend!!!!! How wonderful for her and her family! The dress you made is so cute, I love it!

Teresa - is this what you were thinking of ????

Thank you Wendy!!!! I was trying to figure out if I should make a yoke on the skirt part and attach it to the top or just go all the way up, like this is. This looks really cute!

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.

You are such a good Mommy.

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!!!!!

I hope he is ok. Poor kid.

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

I hope it works!

For those of you who sell on Etsy, do you think theremight be a market for something like this?

TIA!

I can't see the picture, but I wanted you to know I read your post.

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

She did a great job designing the dress!!! I love those fabrics and the applique!

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)

Funny you would apologize for the big pictures, I was going to ask you if you could please post them bigger. They are really small now.

What I can see looks absolutely adorable though!!! No wonder she won best dressed!

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

They turned out great!!!!

Oh wow, that is a pain! I hope they get it to you soon!!!

Hey, it's pizza night, so don't get too chatty between 5-11 PM!

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
http://tipnut.com/laptop-sleeves-cases/

That is so neat that you are getting a Britax!!!! How did tyou get that?

Happy Earth Day....

Eva, I always love seeing your gorgeous creations!!! These are so beautiful!

OK...thought I'd show my age a bit here...I just downloaded The Monkees Greatest Hits...it is making the housecleaning go a bit easier. Just hope I don't wake hubby up (he works nights) with my wee bit off key singing at the top of my lungs!

Needed something to lift my mood today!

Miss you Mom!

I'll show my age, too. I was reading my mother's newsletter from her church telling about a lunch for seniors. It said if you remember 5¢ candy bars you're a senior. I remember 5¢ candy bars.

How about going to the store, getting a 5cent candy bar, a ten cent coke, and drinking it there so you could get your 3 cent deposit back!

Miss you Mom!

The Monkees have NOTHING to do with age! M was rocking out to them at 5 We have shared the front row with MANY teens at the Flower Power concerts to see Davy Jones.

Needless to say I LOVE the Monkees!

Some where in this house are dozens of plastic eggs. I saw them when we moved. I saw them last week. I just bought more last weekend "just in case". Do you think I can find one single egg now that I need them?

My kids grew up listening to the Monkees and watching the tv show in reruns. My 33 year old son called me extremely excited a few weeks ago...the Monkees are having a concert in Atlanta in a few months. I'm not sure, but I think he is going to surprise me with tickets on Sunday...hoping anyway. Otherwise I have to spring for them myself!
