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

[dianemom2]

I am trying to move this thread along. Here is some happy news for me!

I've got my new sewing room! We moved the kids toys out of the playroom. They don't play with them anymore anyhow! Now the toys are in the storage room. They can get to them but they won't since they don't use them anymore.

We moved all my sewing stuff into the playroom. It is a HUGE room. I have so much space down there plus even though it is in the basement, there are 3 windows in the room. They are high up, small windows but at least I get some natural light. I have two tables set up. One has my sewing machine and serger. The other has the Babylock that I use for embroidery. I have a large closet with shelves for all my stuff plus a bookcase and a chest. I put the old glider from when the kids were babies in corner so I have a place to sit and look at my patterns or do some hand sewing. I even have room to buy a folding table to use for cutting. No more having to schlepp everything upstairs to cut on the kitchen island or the kitchen table! Hubby has promised that he will move my wall mounted thread racks next week one day.

This was such a great day!!!!! The best part was that the kids were so helpful and cooperative about moving my stuff in there. My younger daughter even told me that she was so happy that I would get to use that room for sewing and that it made a great sewing room.

I will post pictures next week once the kids go back to school and I have a little free time.

Hey everyone!

Happy Easter!!...(a bit early but I may not get on here tomorrow so...

TMTQ..but I love everything that has been posted over the last couple of days.

D, love the Jessie dresses and the cow print lining. Very cute.

I have been a little busy and in an effort to help us get to 250 here are a few photo's of my 2nd and 3rd projects.

2nd project ever...Pillow case mini dress with ruffle/easy fit pants....DD doesn't like it she says it looks like a clown suite....I think it was a little to colorful or maybe its the "dots" In hinds sight I could have used the solid fabric for the main part of the pants and the dots for the cuff. That would have broken it up a little.... oh well...I won't force her to wear it...I promise

3rd project ( aka dress 1 of 14 for our disney trip this summer) Minnie dot peasant dress...just waiting on my local store to get some wonder under or something like it so I can try Heathers Sue's applique tut...and add Minnie head. This trip is also a surpirse so I will have to wait until we are closer and I can start packing or the Minnie head will be a dead giveaway..

I think I may get out my seam ripper and take the ribbon off and move it down so its not on the elastic casing...it takes away the dresses ability to stretch in that area. Maybe line it up right under it. Any suggestions???

I love both of these dresses! I really love the ruffle you put on the bottom of the polka-dotted one. Sure, you could have switched the fabrics around - but I think it's cute just the way it is.

Oh and thanks for the compliment on my Jessie outfit.

I saw the earlier discussion about the princess dresses at the Princess meals. My girls were never interested in wearing a princess dress so this is what they were last time we did a princess meal.

These are so cute!

Ok finished this up tonight...sorry about the darkness still learning how to make my camera take night pictures (only had it a year now )

not happy Im interrupting her DRAGON BALL Z to try on a top

back super blurry sorry

This turned out so cute!

okay helping us move along.

Here are some Mickey Head Shirts for a pixie dusting I am doing

Here is DDs entire outfit

and a skirt I made for myself. I love this fabric. I am wearing a yellow tank top with it and either a cardigan or if I can find the denim jacket I want to wear.

Loving all the stuff being posted tonite.

Chiara - I just love the skirt you made for yourself... which pattern did you use? I am planning to make myself a skirt (I have the fabric and everything) for the wedding in a few weeks - and I am really going back and forth on a pattern. I just loved how yours turned out. This is the fabric I purchased:

Any ideas for a pattern???

JEALOUS!!!! I don't have a room .... I have the hallway it's across from the washer/dryer closet ... I cut on the dining room table ... and supplies that don't fit in the one drawer of my machine cabinet ... well, they get left in the bag they came from the store in until I can sew the project (we're just OUT of closet space!) ...
My mom has a sewing room at her house ... I could never understand why she wouldn't give it to me when I was still at home (it's next to my childhood bedroom and my grandmother & I thought we should knock down the shared wall and make my room bigger) ... until I had to sew in the hallway at my house ... now I understand why she was SO protective of that sewing room!!!

[DisneyTeacher01]

Are we moving yet?!!

 

[NiniMorris]

I finally get some shopping done and come back expecting to see you have moved without me...but I see that you are still here!


Come on...I really want to move tonight!

In our old house I had to sew in the laundry room. My girls were little then and I didn't get much sewing done anyhow. When we moved into this house I took the smallest room in the basement for my sewing room. It had no windows and I found it depressing to be in there all day long. I have been waiting for 6 years for my girls to be old enough to be willing to give up their playroom! They still have a big rec room down there where they can hang out so it isn't too hard on them. I am so excited! The three little windows in my new sewing room mean so much to me!

 

[clhemsath]

Well, I will help a tiny bit move us along. I feel like I have been in an allergy fog for weeks! I decided to check in tonight to see how everyone was doing and to let you know that DH says I can get a brother 770 in just a few weeks. I have been saving for a while and I think I have finally made it.

Hopefully I will now get some sewing done

Hope everyone has a moving buddy.

Has anyone ordered from Hanes.com for blanks???

They're having a great sale and I need to get shirts for a BigGive and wasn't sure how they run ...
What size would you get for a 5T? The S(6-8) or the XS(2-4) ??? Do their Mens & Ladies shirts run true to size???

I could get the 5 BG shirts I need plus a polo for DS#1 for $24!!!!!

I would probably go with Jiffy shirts, no idea how Hanes run though but I would say no way to a size 2-4 for 5t, even the 6-8's we had weren't bigger then a 3-4t. If you want a 5t on jiffy and go with rabbit skins order the size 7.

ARGH!!!

I was just browsing on a Disney board...not here...and someone asked if it was really necessary for their daughter to wear a Princess dress to a princess meal??!!?? Seriously?

I thought I was having heart palpitations!


Nini

LOL! I would have NEVER worn a princess dress as a child. I hated regular dresses even. I would have never agreed to a princess meal either, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't have eaten there for someone else. We did eat in the castle all the time as a kid, but no princesses thank goodness!

I am so excited, after all the lurking I finally have something to share.
I have not sewn in years due to severe RA, so it was really challenging. My very good friend came over this morning and cut the bottom as I could not use the cutter. Otherwise it did it all!
I am thrilled she wont have to wear plan b! hmmm what shall I attempt next?

The dress is so pretty, from facebook click the copy image location and then come over here, click the little picture at the top of the mountain and sun or whatever it is and paste and your picture will show up here.

I went to Ashby's today. Did you get your machine back or is it ready? I thought about asking the guy but I figured he would think I was a lunatic. I thought we were never going to get there!

Hopefully he'll have mine done some time this week. I usually send DH but he would have spent WAY more then me today so glad I didn't. He can pick it up though. Of course, I don't know when his next day off is so that might not work.

Unfortunately I still have 2 weeks to go before it will be looked at! I am so missing it. I dropped it off last Monday and they said 2 and a half to three weeks before he could look at it. I told my husband I was going to throw it a welcome home party!

No new machine?

Innovis 1250d!

So far I am in love. Everyone thought I would be disappointed at the sewing place, including DH. He was totally going for the 1500d, which had I known they were going to have I might have prepared myself better and thought a little more on it. But I didn't need a bigger hoop and mainly want it to sew and preferred to save the $. He told me to get the one you got if I wanted it.

I think my machine is going to be alot cheaper to fix then originally thought. It might just be the foot pedal now he thinks and I started thinking that. Had I know that I would have gone back to just sewing without it like I used to but I wanted another good reliable machine anyways. I am not against buying another one at some point either. Maybe when my money tree grows.

Oooh - I can't wait to see the pictures... my sewing room is still "in progress" - DH just put the last coat of mud on the walls - he has to sand them, then prime... then it's mine for painting. It'll be a few more weeks until I am moved in - but the whole family is anxious for it - my sewing stuff has taken over the kitchen table and corner.

Well, I will help a tiny bit move us along. I feel like I have been in an allergy fog for weeks! I decided to check in tonight to see how everyone was doing and to let you know that DH says I can get a brother 770 in just a few weeks.

Congratulations!! I am so excited for you - great job saving for it! I am not sure - but I think DH is looking at getting the pe770 for me for my birthday. I think that originally, he was looking at getting me an Ipod, but I told him that an ipod couldn't embroider. LOL Money would be better spent on something useful... like a new machine.

I don't have a moving buddy. This will be my 3rd move - I think? I just always seem to meander in when I get there. LOL Besides, I have to get to bed.

Nini

That's crazy! He better not take that long. I didn't ask but mine last time we took Friday, went to California and they had called that Monday that it was ready. He has a LONG row of machines to fix. I wish he could have gotten mine to not work because I think he could have fixed it right then, but he couldn't get it to not work. Fixing it would have consisted of saying you need a new pedal foot if his thoughts were right. He kind of flopped on what he thought but on the phone the lady was relaying the message to him not so well.

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

I guess Im going to miss the move, since it looks like it will be a midnight move this time!

Happy Easter all.
