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

[tricia]

Hi I wanted to ask all you creative disers if anyone knows someone who could help me make a "fancy" witche's hat for Halloween. I have found a dress I want to use, but would like to have a very creative hat to go with it.
Please PM if you can give me some suggestions.

Well, I have a link to one to make if you would like. I thought it was really great, but just did not need it this year. http://sew4home.com/projects/fabric-art-a-accents/705-haunted-halloween-dead-roses-witch-hat

 

[ellenbenny]

If these come up... they are of the simply sweet I made my daughter for her Easter dress. I am satisfied with how it turned out for my first dress!


AAArgh! I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Never mind....

What site are you hosting your photos on? If it is photobucket you can just copy the IMG code from the picture and paste it here. If from facebook, or another site, make sure you are getting the entire address by scrolling down when copying to make sure you are not missing anything, it should end with .jpg normally.

Thank you Ellen! I wasn't scrolling down far enough! Disregard my dd messy hair. It was early!

Just folded my fabric purchases from today.

I finished the shorts I made for ds for Easter hopefully it will be warm enough for them. I also made DD her skirt.

I love your skirt. Hope you "southerners" have nice weather. We woke up to a coating of snow on the ground!

Thanks for the links, I managed to pick up both the fabric and the buttons and never even left my chair as both sites are set up for paypal.
With more and more sites accepting paypal I think I am going to be in trouble, at least before I had to go get my credit card which gave me just enough time to reconsider. Now with just a few clicks, I could spend a fortune in seconds!

I know what you mean about paypal. I sell stuff on ebay (old junk) and always have a paypal balance so it doesn't seem like I'm spending money when I can use paypal to buy something.


I was at Joann's and saw a license plate LIVE2SEW. I figured it was because they couldn't fit LIVE2BUYFABRIC on it.

I am so used to using my paypal balance (now that actually is one!) that I forgot about my Amazon account being linked to my checking account when I bought the Monkees yesterday! Luckily it left me with a balance of $2.34 in my checking account...oops!


I guess I need to see if I can change that to my paypal...hmmmm



Nini
Still not at 250? Sheesh...I was sure we would be there by now!

I started a skirt for myself which I will finish tomorrow.

think I may head to bed soon. I have a lot I would like to do tomorrow.

So adorable! Can't wait to see yours! And I have been meaning to ask you 2 questions, is your iron holder attached to the board or separate? And where did you get it? I think its great and I must have one.

I finished up the last outfit for our May trip. This is for dinner at 'Ohanas. I need to stop looking here and etsy b/c I keep adding things I need to make.

Here's Little Miss C modeling:

And on the hanger:

Thanks for looking and for all the inspiration you all provide.

Oh good lord that's cute...I just wanna squeeze those cheeks. And her dress is fabulous too!

My part to help move it along
Easter outfit done w/ purse and bow

the bow I used to thin of ribbon but I made it with the colors I had

Precious! She's just beautiful and you did a great job on the dress and purse and bow!

And just to add more pages. My DD thinks the Easter Bunny (who is large and walks around on his 2 legs) sends out "scouts" to make sure she is is being good and to stake out good places to put the eggs. She snapped this today when a "scout" was outside of our front door under our Japanese Maple

Sounds like something we would say in our house to coax the kids into behaving.
I try to write stuff like this down when my kids do them. I want to be able to remember these innocent moments later on. You know when they are 16 or 17 and driving me o insanity I just love the story, though. It's so sweet!

Doing my part to move this thread along. I finally ordered the Kyoko pattern from Modkids and it arrived. I went out yesterday and found some fabric on sale at my Hancocks for a dollar so I got 4 yards because it was so cute. Here is the finished product. I kept the sleeves long because it is for a multicultural festival.

Thanks for looking.

This came out great. I really love the fabric and $1 a yard Doesn't get much better than that.

Thank you Ellen! I wasn't scrolling down far enough! Disregard my dd messy hair. It was early!

Great job.

QUESTION... I think it's time for me to get the simply sweet. I have wanted it, but my gal is growing out of an 8 and I'm not so sure I can up size it without messing it up? Has anyone tried it and if so how tough was it?

I love your skirt. Hope you "southerners" have nice weather. We woke up to a coating of snow on the ground!

I'm there with you on the Paypal. If I have to go find my purse to pay for something, I just might not do it...

Yes it is attached to my ironing board that is why I broke down and paid 24.99 for it. LOL I bought the ironing board at a store here in NYC called National Wholesale Liquidators.

Thanks! I'm gonna see if I can find one online, then!

Thanks Everyone for the compliments on the kyoko. I am very proud of myself. It took me all day to cut and finish as the kids were home from school and I had to constantly stop. I would have bought the rest of the bolt but I had no cash on me only a gift card from christmas with $15 left on it. the purple on the bodice was supposed to be the Obi-sash. it was from the remnant bin and turned out not to be enough. so I was going to use it as the lining. I like the break of the purple bodice and flowered sleeves so I flipped it LOL. the Paisley fabric on the Obi-sash was actually a sheet I had gotten at good will and I was going to make mommy and me shirts for myself and my DDs. Mine turned out awful so I took it apart and used it for scraps.

I will be working on my other DD's top for her part in the show. She wants to represent France. I found Some Paris fabric by M'Liss that was on sale as well so I will make something up for her today.

The best part of making these outfit, they both chose countries at Epcot so these outfits can be used again on our next trip as long as they still fit.

I would like to add a label to the clothes I make for my daughters and friends. If I have a logo, where do you guys get lables? I don't want to have to buy thousands of them though! Just a few!

 

[mommy2mrb]

helping out with the moving....


What to wish you all a very happy and Blessed Easter!
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Thanks!!

This came out great. I have been saving my simply sweet to make for when I get good. Think I bought the pattern like a month ago

I make my own. I buy printable fabric, design the tag to the size and shape I want, print them up by the sheet & then just cut and sew. Easy and cheap.

 

[chellewashere]

Since we are trying to move the thread along figured I would show some non sewing pictures
This is us dying our eggs this AM

ETA: Sorry so huge guess the next set will be too

 

[chellewashere]

And cause my DD got ahold of the camera...this is the hubby and 3 of our dogs. All Jack Russells then we have 2 other dogs. A black lab and a black lab mixed with a Jack Russell (dont ask how that happened since daddy is the lab???)

 

[dianemom2]

I don't know if any of you have an H&M store near you. I went in one yesterday and saw that they had t-shirt dresses for little girls in size 2 through 8 for $4.95. They had a red Minnie polka dot and a pink Minnie polka dot with plenty of space on the front for appliques. I wanted to buy one for my little niece but the line was so long and my two girls were impatient to go and have lunch. But I thought I'd pass this tip along. The dresses were adorable with a little ruffle on the bottom and another small ruffle at the top.

Ohh nice. I have one in the mall here, never really go into it. Will have to now

Did you see that recently, if so, where in the store was it? I would love to have that for my sewing room!

My oldest DD is a Nanny and her youngest was turning two last week so she asked me to make something Tiana for her. I decided to try the scallopini I don't know what ever possessed me to try this for someone I didn't even know but it turned out OK. It was much easier than I thought it would be and as with every pattern of Carla's she walks you through it step by step!

And a picture of DD, Rachel sewing the bows on, I was so happy that she wanted to be a part. Neither of my girls sew and I really wish they would.
