Disboutiquers Part 28 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[Sandi S]

I need a little help!
I am trying to make a few shirts for my nephew for his last few days of kindergarten.

First, they are having under the sea day, I was thinking Sebastian or maybe King Triton but I can't seem to find anyone with that design. Does anyone know where I can find them?

Secondly I need something to applique on his shirt for Zoo day, any ideas?


And since I'm asking, where can I find First Grade Rocks, I thought he could wear that for the last day of kindergarten.

Thanks for your help,
Mary

Hi ladies quick question hoping to get your help

I am in the states (from Canada) for another day and super limited Internet. I can check for replies early tomorrow and then we are heading back with a stopat Joann. I want to get the basics for fabric appliqués I am a total newbie and want to try some appliquees (non embroidery) but just need a basic supplies list other than fabric and thread of course just not the time to research myself. So any help for a basic supply list would be appreciated.

You need stabilizer - heat n bond lite is good if you are doing hand pieced applique.


And in other news...this is what I finished up today!

I'm working on 4 matching shirts for my boys and DH - stitching the first Mickey right now (from Heather Sue's emotions set - really cute!).

really cute set. I love the ice cream and the Mickey and Minnie are cute. love the ice cream too.

 

[PrincessMickey]

That is so cute! I will have to try out the Rosetta bag before September. I did buy the Easy Fit pants pattern and Reversible Romper pattern this morning. Here's hoping I can decipher them. Reading patterns were never my strong point.

CarlaC's patterns are so easy to understand. She has lots of pictures that also help along the way

it's been awhile since i posted,usually only have time for a short lurking session....
LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED...SO MANY I CAN'T REMEMBER THEM BUT EVERYONE HAS BEEN FANTASTICALLY BUSY MAKING GREAT THINGS!
i finally finished things for my granddaughter Liberty's baby shower and now i can share them here! sorry if any are a double post,can't remember last pix i shared...

damask onesie gownfor the hosp.,Liberty's room will be in b/w damask and minnie mouse heads!

the baby shower was great,fun games for the adults and kids...dd made a pin the bow on minnies head game for the kids,people had to wear a blindfold and draw a pregnant lady and also put a balloon under their shirt and sit in a chair and bend over and tie their shoes...lol...dsil won that one! oh i just wanna share one more pic,minnie mouse decorations made by my granddaughter Elli,Liberty's big sister! she did a great job,we saved all decorations for Liberty's 1st b'day party!

~BETH~

This one is my favorite and I love the dress your dd is wearing (I know you didn't make it but it's a gorgeous print). Everything is fabulous and I'm sure your dd was very appreciative of all your hard work. The care seat covers were really cool too and I like how mom and dad each get their own! The balloon under your shirt and tying the shoes games sounds hilarious!

I had this huge reply all typed out all about the great things posted this week and before I could hit post the computer started giving me issues and poof, it was all gone. I know I'll miss a few things but the quilt is amazing, I want to start quilting one these days. Love the new embroidery machine, I am so jealous, some day. Love everything that was made for the baby shower, espesially love the onsie"kini" so cleaver!. As far as the making bags for Disney I have not made one yet for Disney yet but have made several bags. I have not made the rosetta but that is on my list. I have made the Aivilo tote. I do have plans in the next week or two to make a messenger bag that I want to add a little Disney too, I'll post when I'm done.

I had a pretty stressfull week so I did not get much sewing done but I will post the two latest gives I've made. First I made backpacks for Justins give.

Next up, I knew I wasn't going to have the time to do backpacks for Reed's give so I made crayon portfolios for Reed and his sister.

Hopefully I'll have more to post soon. I'm currently working on a skirt that has given me nothing but problems. Was hoping to have it done already but hopefully today or tomorrow. Also working on sashes for the bridesmaid dresses, I only have one more to go and have a two weeks left to get it done. I also hope to get a messenger bag done before I leave for the wedding to carry my camara.

The backpacks are awesome -- I love the one done in corduroy. And the crayon roll portfolios are great - I already saw the accomplished art work on the ptr! Glad you are doing so well on the sashes. Hope the stress settles down and you have time to make some fun items.

does anyone have a simple tutorial on upcycling a T-shirt. J has a couple Disney Store T's that have holes in the backs where the puppy got him.

I am trying to expand my horizons some by working with knits

This is not upcycling t's into another t, but I love this idea:
http://kojo-designs.com/2011/02/kojotutorial-pieced-jersey-pants-for-celebrate-the-boy/

And clearly this would not work for J, but might make a cute item for C:

Patterns from YCMT are easy to decipher -- they are written in English -- not the Gibberish commercial patterns are written in. I do not have the reversible romper, but I can tell you the Easy FIts is so easy to understand and make.

Heather has a Sebastian. You could also try Bows and Clothes or Sweat Peas though I am uncertain. Just Peachy has a few Dis designs as well.

Applique Alley has a first grade rocks (I used their 4th grade rocks design and it stitched out great) and Applique Corner has one with a guitar.

For zoo day I would just select his favorite zoo animals.

I switched up the color scheme to match the fabric. I just wanted to be careful that he doesn't look like that scary clown at the Boardwalk pool.

I have 4 shirts in progress assembly line style and I am appliqueing on them once I get the shoulder seams and collar done (makes it easier for placement, but still pretty easy to get on the machine.

 

[celerystalker]

A few days at work and you all go crazy with cool stuff!

World showcase skort, I drafted my own pattern:

I love all your stuff, but this is my favorite!

Awesome!!!

I sooooo need instructions on the technique you used for these skirts - I love the look and want to do it for my mermaid tails!!!

I'm working on 4 matching shirts for my boys and DH - stitching the first Mickey right now (from Heather Sue's emotions set - really cute!).

Awesome!!!

I've never seen this fabric. Can't wait to see the finished product!

 

[celerystalker]

I have long been intimidated by embroidery machines and machine appliques. I've had the disney brother machine for years - when I didn't like my results, I quit trying and have been using it as a regular sewing machine for years.
An expensive regular sewing machine, but it works!

My friend Tabitha has an embroidery business (Scrapberry designs on facebook) and I had her download Heather Sue's film strip design forever ago. I finally decided to ask her to help me make a shirt.
She did almost all of the work, but I'm so happy with it!

I LOVE the ice cream dress! SO CUTE!! Ugh, I must admit, I am MORE than just a little jealous of how fast you are able to whip things up. I know I'm still a beginner but I HATE that I am so slow! Can't wait to see the shirts!

i just wanted to share these pix form the shower...they are too funny!
the girls,Mama/Liberty & Elli

I only grabbed this one pic but all the items you made for Liberty are so adorable. The One-kini, sleepers (I especially like the BIRD one!) and everything from the shower looked just precious!

I always love your backpacks. they come out so nice! The portfolio sets were cute too and I know the family really appreciated them.

That is so cute! I will have to try out the Rosetta bag before September. I did buy the Easy Fit pants pattern and Reversible Romper pattern this morning. Here's hoping I can decipher them. Reading patterns were never my strong point.

Oh you will be able to! Can't wait to see what you make first.

Oooo too cute!!!

What I was making when hubby "sharpened" my scissors. My helper is one of my cats George.

Beautiful!

It's time for some because I finally finished all those silly nursing covers!! Woohoo! Did you all hear the shout about 20 minutes ago?

It doesn't look like 60 items, but it really is!

Now I just need to get these suckers sold!!

Finally, I can do some sewing for my family again!
Regards,
C.

Now where'd I put my confetti and streamers??? Oh here they are!



SO Happy that you finally finished!!! They look great! FX they sell QUICKLY!

Finally got my latest project done. I really need the practice so I did another set like my Rapunzel except Dora for a friends daughter. You would think because I did it before it would be easy but I totally messed up the pants TWICE !! The first pair, I don't know what I did wrong and really messed it so I went out and bought more fabric since these were beyond repair. I cut out my pattern and proceeded to put them together WRONG.I didn't realize it until i had sewn up both leg outsides, I spent most of last night tearing the seams apart and then started sewing it again only to realize that they were right side out and had to rip up the seam on one leg again. I did get it done right and then worked on the ruffles and stays but after clogging my bobbin twice I gave up for the night.One leg down and one to go. I finished them this morning and then got the kerchief done and made flowers on flip flops to match.

Ugh ! I don't know why it was so easy the first time and really wrong the second. Finished product below....

Hopefully the rain stays away tomorrow and I be able to show them off on the little girl who it belongs to.

Now to put my sewing stuff away until Tuesday.

Oh i HATE it when I have a project like that! Sorry it gave you such trouble but the end result looks great!



So I worked a little bit on a set that I had making for my DS. I was trying to make a raglan shirt and using a self drafted pattern. The first time, the neck was WAY wonky and way too big so I took it back apart, made some alterations (which worked) but then ultimately decided I didn't want to use it for this set anyway (I was going to do an applique on the front) because the red in the shirt was much darker than the red in the print on the shorts. I will still finish it and use it for something else. Oh and I also fixed the pair of easy fit shorts (that have been done for over a month) by taking in a good two inches on the side. I know that everyone here loves this pattern to death, but I think I am going to try to take a good chunk out of the leg area because I'm just not digging the super wide leg look on my boy. After I fixed the shorts, I went from feeling "meh" about the set to really liking it.

It feels like forever since I have posted a picture of something I've actually sewn!

Here's the Cars2 outfit that I mentioned in my last post. I finished up appliqueing the shirt tonight. It is my 3rd applique and I can already tell I am getting better at it each time. Still lots of little imperfections with it, but overall I'm pleased. I will say that every time I do a hand applique I have a whole new level of appreciation for D~ and the magnificent creations she sews, as her appliques are flawless!

Anywho, here's my stuff:

[Dustykins]

I *think* I saw that she bought those skirts. But...easy. It's just flounces (you cut a strip of fabric in a spiral - then pull it so the inside edge is straight and that's the part you sew on) sewn on vertically.

You did great! I did hand applique once...then put that idea aside and bought by Deco a couple years later. I had that thing smokin' tonight...here are all 4 shirts (including winking Mickey which was DH's pick!) on the partially constructed shirts:

[cogero]

really cute set. I love the ice cream and the Mickey and Minnie are cute. love the ice cream too.

This is just adorable.

I finally finished my outfit for the main street launcha nd am working on a few orders. C watched J so I could finish my launch outfit and another outfit for an order. Now I am playing with the kiddos before working on some other things .

 

[4monkeys]

Hi ladies! Need some help.... I am devastated and desperate. My new brother pe 770 was fineand I got to test some things out. Then it got wonky on me. I have cleaned it with sir and tweezers, rethreaded, rewound the bobbin. I am afraid it is a tension thing with the bobbin. It doesn't appear to be catching the bobbin thred and is getting tangled under the fabric into the needle hole.

I leave in 14 days and have so much to do. Can I fix it or do I need to exchange it?

Thanks in advance

Thank you Andrea for anserwing my very late email

 

[cogero]

try a totally new bobbin and new needle.

Your machine may not like how the bobbin was wound. I use prewounds from Marathon. My machine does not like the bobbins I wind.

It turned out great! I tried doing a hand applique LM a couple of years ago and I just couldn't get it to look one bit good (and my other hand appliques turned out quite well). So I would say he's one of the harder things to hand applique and you did splendid. I ended up painting mine on the bodice of a dress for dd and ds got the lightning bolt on the back of his shirt.

Did you also change the needle? And I think some people have had little burrs in the bobbin container thingy too than needed to be sanded. Hopefully Teresa will pop back on -- her problem appeared to be bobbin tension to but I'm not exactly positive if it was doing the same thing yours is.

So are you telling me to get my last teacher's tote done tonight b/c you are showing up at my doorstep tomorrow morning with shirts in hand? Seriously, you know I will help you as much as I can. I should have just kept your shirts!!!!
