Disboutiquers Part 8 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[t-beri]

Ok. I did not get the full day of sewing I had anticipated. I needed to go to Joanns. That turned into MIL and me picking out costume patterns etc.. then when we got home it was time to make dinner. But I am cruisin now. Of course when I was at JA's I forgot to get elastic which I am OUT of But we will proceed and tomorrow I will finish the waist bands of the outfits.

I am going to be a gypsy for halloween.

Gotta get back to the fabric...

OH and we made $200 at our yard sale today. Don't have much hope for tomorrow as most of the furniture is now gone. But it's vacation funding so I'll take it!

Had some quick things to share before I am off to Wal Mart. Tom took the kids to the beach so I could have a sewing day, isn't he sweet? I am not really a beach girl.

The school is having a bazaar where you pay them $25 and you can set up a table to sell things so I think he wants me to work on that, lol. I am hoping to make at least $25 so I can get my money back!

Here is the corduroy fabric I wanted to make a jumper, but Megan insisted on a jacket instead. I had to lengthen the darn pattern by 3 inches so the buttons look weird. I am going to buy more buttons to add to the top:

Now that I look at it again, I remember what a pain those pockets were! Oh, I hated them! Commercial patterns will never come close to the ease of Carla's I tell you! The collar came out totally wonky on the inside too. Good thing it's just for Megan!

Here is a MAW outfit. I almost feel guilty at how quick the boy stuff is. I feel like I should be doing two outfits to equal the time spent on the girl things!

Love the MAW outfit but that jacket is REALLY cool! Jayden would love it.

Thank you, Crystal!!


I LOVE the jacket, Steph!! Tessa is sticking her tongue out and panting, so I'd say it's a hit with her, too. I can't wait for Megan to outgrow it!
Whenever I try to make rounded pockets, they turn out square. So, I am really admiring those pockets.

Jamahl's outfit turned out great! Thank you!!!



I have refused to buy any Bratz since my friend showed me her daughter's baby bratz who came dressed in a negligee and thong undies. EW!!!!

a thong? I am so grossed out!

So I am sitting at my sewing table last night when dh get's home from work and he tells me to come sit down and sends dd7 to her room. He starts to tear up and says the store is closing I am losing my job. I swear it as if I stop breathing. The store will be closing the first week of december. He has been there 8 years. I am so beside myself with worry right now even though he tells me we will be ok. Not to worry. I am so lost right now I don't know what to do. Thank you for letting me vent.

Hi everyone!

I haven't had a chance to check out what I missed since I am on George's login and no clue where I left off! I had a question though.

When working with fleece do you guys zig zag the edges to finish them off? I have a few sweat shirts I am making from one of Carla's patterns and I would Love to take the easy way and not finish the edges since I have at least 3 to make!

I promise to go back and check tomorrow everything every one has made! But I have no doubt I will LOVE everything

 

[Stephres]

The jacket is adorable!! Wow!! You have great Talent! Is it hard to work with cordoroy?

Thank you! It wasn't that hard, more pinning that usual, but other than that it was ok.

I LOVE the jacket, Steph!! Tessa is sticking her tongue out and panting, so I'd say it's a hit with her, too. I can't wait for Megan to outgrow it!

I'm glad Tessa likes it! If it is not destroyed, it is hers next year!

What? We don't have any Bratz: I had no idea they were so scantily clothed!

Thanks! Too bad it is too hot to wear it yet.

Last year I made a fleece jacket and I cut the seams with pinking shears, so I did not finish them but I didn't leave them the way they were either. HTH!

Here's another one of Jamahl's Big Give outfits. Thanks to a special designer for making the perfect iron on. I thought the shirt matched better when I ordered it and it does match some of the fish, but looking at it now, I'm not sure.

I have 2 baby showers coming up, so I made a diaper and wipes tote, a nursing cover and a "taggie" taggie blanket for the soon to be little girl.

This is a nursing cover and "taggie" blanket for my sister's soon to be little boy.

Love the taggie!!! super cute

 

[t-beri]

The baby shower gifts are PERFECT!! Love them

Ok. I'm such a block head!! In my haste I did NOT add the top block to the pattern for the easy fit pants. I left my permanent pattern at home and had to print a new one out. I PRINTED the top block just started cutting w/ out it. SO now I have to add a casing to the top of Lily's Toy Story capris. HMM. and I'm out of that fabric so it will have to be one of the fabrics I used for the ruffles-GRR (the ruffles came out fantastic though ) Of course I have 2 other pair of pants cut out w/out it so I am trying to decide whether to add casings to them or re cut them. one pair are minnie dot and the other are plain tan. I think I will just add the casing and forget about it.

UGH!...t.

Hi all! I was gone all day to a birthday party at the park/zoo....and the weather today was absolutely ideal. It was sunny but a slight breeze and not humid for a change! And slightly cool....maybe 70? We had such a nice time hanging out. Then I came home and took a nap!!!! Right now I am trying to catch up a bit and sew the halloween pants to go with the tops I made. Oh and I am cheating on my diet...eating ice cream! Yummy stuff! I do want to celebrate though....I have lost 20 pounds (since Aug 15th)!! Ideally I would like to lose 20 more but I would be very pleased with 15. Then I have to go get rechecked at the doctors for my high cholesterol. OK they are not really sewing related but here are some pics from today

Face Painting

Sarah's two friends were there at a different party I "decorated them"

Swings!

Wiffle ball

Yummy Cake

And finally the cute birthday boy...and his adorable t-shirt. I was going crazy over the balloon in his hand. At one point he was trying to bite it! I almost said something based on what Heather mentioned about balloon choking hazards However they did take it from him after a while....

 

[twob4him]

Steph - I really like the horsey jacket you made! So cute!

Jajone - cute baby items and very useful...my girls loved their taggy blanket!

T - Great job at the yard sale! Don't you hate it when you forget stuff when you are shopping. I did manage to get my red dot fabric at my Joann's.....6 yds. Everytime I go, I pick up thread, ric rak, elastic and folded bias tape (I use it with the elastic as casing) and then I go get fabric!

I know I am missing people...darn....I will try to catch up tomorrow!

 

[eeyore3847]

Did I ever share my Belle outfit with all of you... sadly we have 10 days to go before our trip and this one is not coming with us. I made too much stuff!!!

Sad Sad Sad..

 

[disneymommieof2]

What a cute jacket! Will she be wearing it when she goes riding?
MAW outfit is great too!

Those are ALL really Great!! I love the baby things!! What great gifts!

I hate when that happens!!

Thanks for sharing your day with us!!
About the weight Loss!! (You too Heather!!!!)
I am so glad the baby didn't pop that balloon in his mouth!!
Looks like a Fun Day!!

Nope. That is sad!! It is beautiful!!

I am relieved I didn't get left behind! I am loading pics from today right now, so I'll be back....

Jajone - I think the outfit is great! Awesome iron on!! I also LOVE the baby shower gifts. I have started (thanks in part to this board) making shopping cart covers for shower gifts (I have made 6 this year). One day I may start making some of the other great things you are making too! Thanks for the inspiration.

twob4him - The birthday pictures are great. Glad you had great weather. It was raining, hot/warm and humid here in Miami today. . .

eeyore3847 - I am IN LOVE with that belle outfit. If I had a little girl I would sooooo buy it. Hopefully if/when I have a child you will still be sewing those beautiful customs with amazing appliqué's.

I am on facebook (have been since it started adding the second wave of schools, started just at Harvard or something, and then they slowly started adding other schools and then only those with .edu addresses, and now finally everyone is welcome). If anyone would like to be my friend there PM ME

Ok. I have Lily's Toy Story pants done except for fixing the waistband...fortunately I made her try them on before I sewed the elastic together so it will be an easy fix.

I have cut out: AK capri pants (EF)
Mini Minnie Dot Capris pants(EF): for Friends around the world
Hello Kitty (halloween)Double Layer Twirl
Minnie Patchwork Twirl (minus casing)
Toy Story Halter

I still have to cut out the AK bowling shirt and Mac's bowling shirt.

Do button minnie and hello kitty shirts

AND sew everything together...MY MIL is helping so we can knock it out before the week we are leaving. We are always sewing our costumes last minute and I've certainly followed suit since I started making her customs.

I have fabric for a pirate dress ( I think Steph will help me w/ an applique)and a Buzz dress to match Macs bowling shirt even though he doesn't want to match his sister...b/c I'm mean like that.

I guess I'm off to bed so I can start sewing early...not to mention I need to get out of the house for elastic and bias tape before B gets here and knows I'm spending more money

...t.

So Both the Bonnet and the pants are 100% done. The skirt is sewed together minus the pink dots and the bodice is partially put together. Going back over on Wed. so it should be All done then!! I'll be working on the poofy parts too. The skirt is VERY Full and it gonna take alot of poof to fill it out!!

ETA: Apparently my camera lens is filthy- Sorry for the blurs and I swear I rotated the one picture- Hmm

[fairygoodmother]

So here's what we have done so far...

Looks like you're off to a really great start! I'm anxious to see the rest! Hurry!

I just got off the phone with poohnpigletCA - they just arrived home from DL. She said her little one got a LOT of attention in her BoPeep. Seems as though all the characters in the Pixar parade noticed her.
