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

[SallyfromDE]

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

I love this story. It's just too sweet. We say that about all the santa clauses you see around at Xmas.

I totally believe you. I wanted to open an account with R. Kaufman so I could sell their Seuss fabric, and I was denied initially because I had sold outfits with licensed characters on it for profit. I had to go through a pretty in depth interview during which I had to explain my past actions and explain why I was going from selling outfits to selling fabric, etc. The Kaufman people said that it was, in part, because the Seuss people were so strict. However, any company that rightfully owns these characters has the right to expect people not to use their product for their own gain. Courts have repeatedly upheld our right to copy them for our own personal use and even to gift these items (like the Big Gives, for example), but selling for gain is where the courts have drawn the line.

Now, I do not know any of the people involved, but it doesn't sound like this was a company representative. In which case, it is pretty low to blackmail someone.

Now, for my Davy Jones story..... after my oldest was born, I was watching an old episode of The Brady Bunch as I was nursing my newborn dd -- the one with Davy Jones, of course. Anyway, as he sang, "Girl, look what you've done to me.....," I just sat there thinking how appropriate it was at that moment because this little girl had turned my whole world completely upside down and in the best possible way. So, that has kind of become her song -- at least in my mind.

BTW, I'm loving all the sweet Easter dresses, too.

I was wondering about the dress in your signature. What is the pattern? And do you have a bigger picture?

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.

Can't help you with the hat. JoAnne fabrics usually has hats near the holiday you can decorate. But I want to know about the Dog in your Avatar.

Eating lunch with the kiddos then I want to finish Cs Easter Shirt and work on some embroidery shirts for some gives and other things.

trying to make some major catch up today since it is so gross out.

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.

Sorry, I wasn't clear about the license plate. It was on a car in the parking lot.

I love the outfit.

Helping with the move, here are a couple of things I've been working on.

My first jellyroll dress, I love the colors but I'm still feeling like it needs something... Maybe a sash?

And my first attempt at CASEing something I saw on Zullily for a price I wasn't willing to pay, this one is just a bandanna skirt attached to a black onesie to try it out. The next one will be on a tank top and I'll applique a star on the the shirt, but I lack the confidence to try to finangle hand-appliqueing on a onesie.

Easter Eggs ~ A few weeks ago someone posted about decorating Easter eggs with scraps of fabric. I thought maybe it was Carlas blog or maybe even Sis Boom. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I have searched and searched and cant find it. Thanks.

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!

I would also like to know where to buy labels....THANKS!!

I ordered mine from ebay, they are woven in and look great! It has been a while and I have no idea from whom I got them from but they came from China or over near there. They were pretty quick and quite reasonable. I just did words, but you could do a logo for not much more.

The pattern is from YCMT. It is the halter dress or something like that. When the site is back up, I can tell you the correct name. I added all the ruffles to the underskirt and cut out the top back layer. I wanted to make it like a bustle, but couldn't make it work. I also did not like the way the straps made the front bunch up, so I added the button holes to thread the straps through. I made this quite a few years ago now, but it remains a favorite. I dubbed it "Grandma's Parlor."

Here are a few pics...

I also made it as a skirt and t-shirt.... I did 2 tops for this buyer, but don't have a pic of the halter top with the silhouette on it.

Just got back from our pancake Breakfast- boy am I tired!!!!!!!

Okay update on Perrins Big Give.....We did GREAT on getting together Star Wars things for them. Now, we need some help on the regular Disney or Universal stuff. We could really use an Ariel Dress (and/or other princesses) for Juju and would love some outfits for Baby Alek as well (cute Jon Jon or something??). We could also use some baby things for Alek if you'd like to sew (diapey wipey bag) or purchase pixie dust -disney sippy cups, toy tethers, stroller fan etc....
His service dog Stella may be coming along if you'd like to send her a bandanna!!!

Thanks everyone!!!!

Very nice job..love the little bows on the bottom

Us too...anything to make her behave for a few

Came out cute. Love the red fabric

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

Adorable! Pretty fabric!

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.

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 have an ironing board with the iron holder which I never use for the iron. I keep other things on it though -- it's a great little extra shelf LOL! Mine came from Lowe's 9 years ago.

I upsized the SS for a BG and it was easy to do. I couldn't figure out how to enlarge it the correct percent (even with a program Teresa suggested I try) but I'm good at math and just figured out I needed to extend the pattern 1/4 of an inch and hand drew the extended base.

This is copied form a post from Carla:
to go from an 8 to a 10, scale up 103%
to go from an 8 to a 12, scale up 106%
to go from an 8 to a 14, scale up 110%

to go from a 10 to a 12, scale up 103%
to go from a 10 to a 14, scale up 106%
to go from a 10 to a 16, scale up 110%

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

you're a better mom than I am. I was supposed to send in two white hard boiled eggs per child to school. All I had was brown so my dd took two and my son declined. The brown actually dyed really well and ds got two eggs from his friend that brought in two extra. That's the extent of our egg dying!

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.

I went in there a month ago for leggings as one other posted told me that's where she got hers. The leggings were reasonable and adorable. I barely had enough time b/c I had an appt to get to, but now I must go back and see what else they have!

The Scallopini turned out beautiful!

What about making a fabric flower for the top of the jellyroll dress? I just bought a remant of one of those fabrics today.

I found it! It was the DIY Dish

http://www.thediydish.com/2010/03/a-2nd-helping-a-follow-up-on-episode-3/

Cute! I bookmarked that for next year -- or the year after that -- or the decade after that -- whenever I can get around to it!


MARIANNE I went to Walmart today. One of the fabrics I thought was StarWars turned out to be GI Joe and the other was no longer there. I even asked the lady and she said she remembers it and even helped look for it, but alas, no Star Wars at my Walmart anymore.

WENDY How did the fundraiser go????

Due to health issues we moved back to Ga, I am happy to report that wednesday I will be getting my Gallbladder removed finally, no more pain.

My girls picked out this fabric for sundresses but I cant find a style that speaks to me. I need to iron it I just got it out of the dryer.

I love the Black and white dress

I have a few funky Bandannas I'd like to make Madi a top out of.

I like the Jamie or the Meghan. I like the Meghan more just cause it really would accentuate my best feature

We are trying to move to Georgia next year. Was supp. to be this year but I booked a Disney trip instead.

Good luck with the surgery

 

[Marianne0310]

We do ... Hmm - anyone on the East-side of Charlotte seen any Star Wars fabrics at those Walmarts???? It's a drive I don't make often but can ...
Marianne???? I think you were just at Galleria and Monroe, weren't you???

Hi Marianne,

I went to the Arboretum Walmart this morning, sorry no Star Wars fabric. They do have a nice fabric department, better than Monroe and the Galleria.

Over the summer one of the Kindergarten teachers ( also a HUGE Disney fan) called me and asked if she brought me the fabric would I make her curtains for her class room. Well the fabric was actually sheets. She told me I could keep the scraps that she would not need them. So my 8 yr old came to me today and asked if she could sew something so I said sure let me embroider for ya first and then I will teach you the art of gathering and you can add the gather to the top. Here is her/our finished product with the curtain/sheet scraps:

I worked on shirts this afternoon. My DDs Peep Shirt, 2 minnie Heads and a mickey head.

I also watched about 12 shirts for gives.

Thanks so much Andrea! I am going to check out Lowes for the iron holder and if you were here I would give you a big ol hug for the SS upsize chart! You're the best!

Very cute top! I bet she had a blast helping make it!

I got up in the middle of my night to do a PO run so I thought I'd pop in and see if we've made it to 250 yet. I'm sure you all will accomplish that before I get up again!

I've been working on big gives all this week but tonight will be Easter prep night if DH remembers to go out and get the eggs! Tomorrow I promised to bring in cupcakes for my shift so I probably won't get to give my sewing area any love for a couple days. I did get the Feliz and Insa patterns in the mail today so I'm going to have to find time to give that a try sometime soon!

I am off to dreamland again for a bit, so I'll catch you all on the new thread later tonight!
