Disboutiquers Part 26 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[teresajoy]

OK, so its will be a furbaby but we are really excited. We lost our dog last Dec and this has been the first time we have been without a dog in the 27 years we've been married. Pups are due in Oct and we can pick him up in Dec.

Congratulations!!

This is one of the shirts I made for the Big Give. The mom asked specifically for this image if it could be done and I am so happy it turned out pretty well. I only had a picture of a pin to work from!

This turned out great Jessica! You amaze me!

Ok, guys I really need to get to bed, I'm pooped! Don't get too chatty tonight! Looks like we'll be moving in the morning.

Hello Ladies (& Tom). I am seriously behind on this thread but for good reason. Most of you have seen it on FB, but my daughter had her baby last Wednesday night. We are so incredibly proud of him. He weighed 8 lbs 11 oz. and is just the picture of health. I have to go get caught up on the 30 or so pages but wanted to introduce you all to him....this was taken Sunday (he was 4 days old)....Jonathan Eli....

...and yes, Daddy could use your prayers...he has to leave Monday to go back to Korea and leave this precious little thing...

Here is the one set of shirts I made for our upcoming trip. My brother in law insisted he wanted a tinkerbell shirt, so I couldn't resist making it happen for him.

Oh my DGD5 would love that alligator(crocidile) shirt. She is alligator crazy!

I have been sewing up a storm and having a great time at it!

But I have made my self 3 things and they have all turned out to big so here is the BIG Question

What am I doing wrong? I am being really honest with my measurements the last thing I want to deal with is something that took 5 hours to make and is too small.

Okay now for some bragging!!

Hmmm...if you call that 'pretty well' I can't wait to see something you really like! I know where my talents lie and it is not hand embroidery!

Love it!

Thanks for all of the kind words about the Grandbabies. I've been trying to catch up at work and I think I'm about there. My oldest DD left for Tampa on Sunday.
I think I mentioned before that she is a nanny and she is temporarily moving to Tampa with them while her Boss goes back school. It will be at least 2 years and then hopefully they will be back. So here I sit in NJ with my son and his family in OK and my DD in Fl. Our youngest is 18 and attending community college so we haven't lost them all yet but we are feeling our empty nest. In fact we are so sad that we have decided to adopt, we have even chosen the perfect couple and they are already expecting!

How exciting! You can sew some collar scarfs for the newborn! I can't wait to see baby pics! Is the breeder close to your home so you can visit often? Our breeder was 3 hours away so we only went to see the babies at about 3 weeks old and pick ours out (breeder had pick of the litter but we had second choice).

I bet that one made Judy cry -- I am going to have to look at her PTR. It turned out fabulous!

What a beautiful baby! I love his hair and he looks like he has such a sweet disposition. Love the pic! I am so sad for your SIL. How much longer until he comes back stateside for good?

I absolutely LOVE everything you made ~ really nice work!

As for your outfits I guess I would just try them on often as you are sewing them so you can tweak them as needed. Anything I make my dd according to her size usually turns out big as well. And honestly, I'm not sure if pattern designers have all switched over to the new clothing sizes or not like the stores have.

COngratulations! I sure hope you'll show us pictures when you get him.

I already told DH that when the girls move out, I am getting a purse doggy... he said no - so I am getting another Lab - however - I don't think any lab could be as wonderful as our Rufus.

This is one of the shirts I made for the Big Give. The mom asked specifically for this image if it could be done and I am so happy it turned out pretty well. I only had a picture of a pin to work from!

You did an absolutely AMAZING job with this applique! It turned out perfect and the BG recipient will LOVE it!

Again - Congratulations! This picture of baby Jonathan is just adorable! I can't believe how tiny he is - I know that DH's pockets that are right there are so small - so he is just a little tyke!! Cute, precious... and of course prayers for a safe return for dad and lot's of hugs to your dd.

You made yourself some things that are too big? Do you have pictures so we can see what you made? My first guess would be that you used the wrong seem allowance. What pattern were you using? Most commercial patterns take a 5/8" seam allowance, while Carla's are 1/4" and some others I've seen are 1/2" or 3/8". I'd check that first. And, if think you are using the correct seam allowance, measure your seams to make sure. I've had it happen before when I've thought I was using the correct one, only to discover that either my needle was over to the left (not centered) or that the guide I was using wasn't the measurement I thought it was.

Ok, these outfits!!!!!! I love them all!!!! The Rapunzel one has got to be my favorite, but they are all just fabulous!!!! Great job!!!!

I'm guessing that we will move sometime today when I am out on doctor's appointments.


See you this afternoon!

Nini

It looks like we will be moving very soon! We are going to be sneaking out, but I hope you will be able to find us!

Beautiful baby and picture. Prayers being sent for his Daddy!

Ok, just keep checking, it looks like it will happen pretty soon! I think they allow 15 posts per page, and it looks like we are at 6, so 9 more posts and we should be moving.

What a cute picture. Congratulations to your DD and her husband. It is so nice that he got to be at home with his little boy for a few days but too bad he has to head back to Korea so soon. I can imagine that your DD will need lots of support while he is away. Good thing you made all of those cute things for Jonathan before he was born because I'm sure you will be too busy holding him to get any sewing done. He is just too cute to not hold. Do you live close to your DD?

Wow, everything looks amazing. I really love the cars set and the fabric you chose for the Aurora set is beautiful. I hope you are able to adjust some of the clothes you made because they are soooo adorable.

As for sizing, I usually use Carla's patterns and follow the sizing based on the measurments. I am currently making a portrait peasant shirt in a size 6 for my DD who is maxing out her 7/8 clothes (but is too small for the 9/10 size). I had to open up the Audrey skirt I just made for my daughter and sinch in the elastic because it was falling of her waist. My niece is 3 1/2 years old and is wearing 4T clothes but I made her a size 2 Simply Sweet and it is still roomy. Oh, the struggles of having clothes that are too big.

I forgot I wanted to comment about the roses on the Sleeping Beauty set. I love it! Is that a tribute to the name the fairies gave her?

And, the Cinderella outfit is just so cute!!! I love the little ribbon on the pants!

mprinder: The designer is Southern Stitch Designs. She is on FB. She hasn't actually released any patterns yet. I think she is nervous to. She has some really cute patterns and I've tested some and they are thorough and easy to follow. She has the cutest skirt with pockets and I am dying for her to release it! Check her out ladies!!!

Thanks I will have to check her out on FB.

What an adorable picture and prayers. I can't imagine how hard it must be for daddy to leave. I was so fortunate with my first two I had over summer months so DH was home with me.

I'm too cheap to pay to see a movie in 3D. We took Phalen to see Tron:Legacy in 3D and pretty much won't do that ever again. We went and saw Lion King in regular format. They've definitely made some improvements to picture quality though. We have found that AMC Theaters have $5 tickets M-Th . . . I'm pretty sure Providence Place is AMC, isn't it?

Good to know that you can watch it w/o the 3D.

What patterns are you using that are coming out too big? I know I worry too if I use the wrong size and it comes out too small I am going to be mad.
