Disboutiquers Part 14 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

Lori, what momma wouldn't love those for her baby girl? They are so cute!

Miranda, I like the skirt. What may be "bugging" you if you are anything like me is the idea of "symmetry" and making things "balance." (I think I'm on the Spectrum sometimes, just like my kid!) The outfit is cute the way it is, but if you find it bothers you too much, the "solutions" to balance it would be to either make the sleeves a patchwork like the skirt, or add elements onto the shirt from a few more of the fabrics (bad example, but a chain of overlapping diamond shapes in a few fabrics, just to illustrate). Again, I think it looks good, but I can see if I had done it what would be "off" only in my head is not having symmetry/balance.

Has anyone done anything "Megara" from Hercules, particularly that would work for an older girl? (12) My daughter Emmy came to me tonight and said she loves Megara (not sure where that came from, I knew Mulan, Pocahontas and Esmaralda but this was a surprise!) and I'm so flipping excited there's something she WANTS that I'd love to brain storm something up special for her.

Ideas would be SO FANTASTIC from this creative crew! Thanks!

Well... seems like all I get is bad news lately. or at least the bad over rides the good.

I think I told you all that when I went to my mom's to help out with my step dad my mom had been sick. she thought it was just a cold a really really bad cold. She went to the dr it was Bronchitis that was a few weeks ago. last week she got worse. Went to the dr for a MRI, they found a lump on her lung. They did surgery yesterday and a PET scan to find out if its cancerous or not. She is at the specialist office today. I haven't heard from her yet.

Please keep her in your prayers. thanks, I know there is so much love on this board.

Gonna go light a candle and say a prayer with my girlies for you all right now!

Oh, I've seen that but that is just longer and not wider. . . I've been hoping they will make a 6x10 hoop

I would love to see a bigger hoop too.

You can get a hoop for ball caps here

and this movie does a good job explaining some of the machine's features and the difference between the CE150 and the CE250

So a good friend of my boyfriends just had there baby saturday. I love little yummy babies..... anyways... I am wanting to make them some burp cloths for a gift. They were waiting to see what they were having, it was a secret! It is a Girl...

I wanted to do the cute script burp cloths with her name under and the fibbon for the edge,,, anyone recommend a good brand to buy. is gerber ones ok? never made them and was curious... also need to get the name and script done in a program... anyone recommend one.. I still can not believe I have not bought one yet!

Lori

Lori - your finished burp cloths are CUTE!! My favorite burp cloth was dish towels from Wal-Mart. They are similar to a micro-fiber and have a waffle-weave design. They come in a pack of 2 or 3 for about $5. They are double the size of a traditional burp cloth, so you can embroider, sew it in half and you have a traditional size burp cloth, but without your embroidery back-side showing.

YES! It is! And a funny story - the first day we were there, I was in the Marth Pullen booth looking for the book "Sewing with Whimsy". I knew I wanted to pick it up. So, I'm standing there looking at the books, I find it and turn around to tell Kira that I found it, and about this time, a woman that is sitting to the left of me at a table talking to people says, "honey, can I sign your book for you?" I said, "Sure!" And Kira says, "That's MARTHA! MARTHA PULLEN!" So she signed my book. She didn't write the book, but she published it. Since I don't get her show in my area, I've only seen a few pictures of her in Sew Beautiful. I didn't have a clue that it was her until Kira told me!

Ohhh... can't wait to see what you make from that book. I debated getting it when I saw it at a local quilt shop a couple of weeks ago. And now the more I think about it, the more I want it. Might have to find time this Saturday to sneak away and pick it up.

It is definitely worth it for all of the patterns you get. I have seen several dresses made out of the book and they are gorgeous. I love her patterns. She is very detailed. I don't have the book yet. I have patterns coming out of my ears.

Miranda!!! I love your 2nd Boo dress!!! That fabric was so perfect for that. Where did you get the flower one?? Your progress is really amazing. Your hubby will be so lucky to come home to such a great seamstress. Omgosh.. Is he in the Army? I can't remember. There is a really cute embroidery design on sewforum that has combat boots and says "My Hero Wears Combat Boots" on it. I can point you in the direction if you are interested.

Sorry to hear about your mom PrincessKell. I said a prayer for you and your family.

Here is the Sleeping Beauty dress my mom made for when they went to DW. I think I like it better with the ribbon strap thingie. It keeps it up pretty good. She just took the sleeves off of the costume pattern she had. I just did the embroidery.
It is getting short on her now. Guess that means its ruffle time.
I couldnt remember if the collar just stands up, but I turned it down in one of the picture.. it goes up right? oops.. thats why I took another picture. yes, that was the best one I could get. I had to promise her that I would email the picture to Aurora for the first one....
If anyone has her email let me know please.

That dress is AMAZING!!! You are a winner in my book.

Toadstool that sure looks like first prize to me!!! LOL was this the secret project??

And ((hugs)) to Ethan. Tell him it takes an AWESOME kid to be a fost/adopt brother! If he wants to talk to other kids who have done it I'm sure my girls would answer any questions he has, or understand if he needs to talk.

This was our project for today. My bestest friend came to visit for a week and she is an awesome artist, so she showed me how to work with Fimo. I need more practice for SURE.

I am jelous I love the minnie necklace!

Here are the latest couple of things I've made for my girls. I love the fabrics! Lily's is all Jennifer Paganelli. I'm on the verge of making a peasant top to go under it because summer is just not happening here!

ETA: The photos are resized in photobucket, I sure hope they fix themselves!

I love the fabric you used for Lily's dress!

Some pics from the weekend.

This is DS at his 8th birthday party with the family. He just got a sewing machine of his own.



This is the last of the bags that I made for the teachers. This is for the Phys Ed. Teacher. She loves Bugs Bunny and even has a BB tattoo.





And lastly, a little dress I made for the neice of my BFF.

I love that your son wanted a sewing machine Tyler has expressed alittle intrest in sewing(Costumes)
Theat Rose dress is too cute!

I made these for both of the girls for my DD almost 3 bday trip in August. I think this might be my favorite outfit I have made in a while. DD's cute little seashell jellies are from the Disney Store.

I LOVE THIS DRESS - Mine if I semi - CAB you?? Did you shir the top or use elastic??

I shirred the top of the dress and I dont mind at all
Tonight I made 2 bows to go with the dress!

I want to thank Kathy - dis Id NaeNae for helping me with these! She was a super help!! thank you...
I decided to go with the gerber cloth diapers... sadly walmart was all out.. so had to go to Babies r us but I got them done! woo hoo! I hope the mommy likes them...... My first time ever doing these

Lori

Those are very pretty Lori. I;m sure mom will appreciate them very much.

Okay I am still trying to decide if I like the skirt or not. It seemed like a great idea in my head, but in reality it totally clashes with itself..... it is at least 50 different prints and the only thing they have in common is that they are all Disney, none of the colors or tones are similar.

Taylor was watching an old Disney VHS and there was a preview that talked about how it all started with a mouse, then it panned out to hundreds of small pixel like squares and then slowly zoomed in revealing different disney movies/characters. I was trying to capture that idea, but I don't know if I was able to pull it off, it may just be a few too many different colors.

I think it's pretty cool.


Hugs and prayers for you and your family Kelly

I knew that would make some gorgeous photos! WOW!! Priceless!

We are having the same problem. We are homeschooling year round due to the trips and breaks we took during the year. At least we get to go to Disney in SEpt and Virginia several time a year!

we also go year round. Makes it so much easier with DH military scheduling.

 

[KARAJ]

Everyones a critic!!

So, I'm finishing a Minnie/Mickey set and trying it on it on DD6 to check for length etc. She gets the pants on which have Minnie and Mickey on them, then puts on the dress. She then says; "Pfft, this dress has nothing to do with Minnie!"
I had to laugh. I guess she's so used to having an applique on the bodice that the "bare" dress threw her off. Anyway...I'm making a few finishing pieces and hope to share the "Nothing to do with Minnie" set soon.

LOL, I totally understand...
My son 5 was tearing apart his closet the other day and I asked him what he was doing, he told me he could not find the right t-shirt with the applique for the shorts he was wearing. I tried to explain that I had not made one yet, and he wanted to know why I had told him the shorts were done then if I had not made a shirt??

I am closing in the outfits for DL. We leave Sat afternoon. I still have 2 capri with cuff and belts in red dots and two shirts for DH. The on the wish list is a kimono style dress shirt for the DS BFF.

Jeanne, It was so nice of you to make the original shirt for Hunter. We liked them so much I made them for the others. Thank you again.

Linnette helped me with this dress and we got it done in an evening. After a few adjustments. Don't make this with a ribbed knit top, it doesn't work well as you can see.

Oh wow! That is the prettiest panel skirt I have seen so far. I love it!! The shirt is just perfect too. Is that you in the snow white dress?? I think anything would look good on that girl/woman. It looks great!

I couldn't really get any good pics, taylor was not in a posing mood....she kept doing this before my camera would flash

Here you might be able to see the outfit better since she wouldn't hold still.

I LOVE THIS OUTFIT!!! Its soooooo cooolllll!!!!


April!! I love all your outfits!! I'd love on of those Autism shirts too!! They are so cool!!!

 

[vargas17]

Well here it is. My first completed applique with my new embroidery machine!! I am working on an UP outfit for my son also. I work at Gymboree so I just did this one real quick to go with a pair of knits shorts from the mermaid magic line. I am pretty happy with the results. It's one of Dena's designs. The pic is kinda blurry but you guys get the idea.
