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

[hudsonsinaf]

Hello all! I am enjoying reading and looking at at all the wonderful pictures. Love the Friends Around the World outfit; it looks like a winner to me!

I was working on an elastic back option for kid pants and finished the tutorial HERE. Hope this help someone!

I absolutely adore this outfit!!!! What pattern for the shirt did you use??? I love the combination of colors and the look with the capris! Your daughter is so cute! I'm thinking I am gonna have to get that pattern and make something for my DD Katie. I it!

NOW, we headed to our local thrift store, to get some Big Tshirts to make my fabulous Tshirt capris. They had 1.00 Shirts today! Love that. We didn't find any good shirts that have a nice centered design... HOWEVER.. we did score something HUGE!!

Georgia has been saving for a "real" AG doll. Even though we got the AG cousin. hehe She still wants a real one. Well, we were lookin and there she was... a packaged American Girl doll! OMG! I saw it out of the corner of my eye. Another little girl was heading over to her, and I said Georgia GO RUN GET THAT DOLL! hahaha I know bad mommy!! But, its a brand new doll... and an AG doll at that! She skurried her little booty up got her RIGHT before the other girl. whew.... She brought it back to me. I got a naughty look from the mother (oops sorry. What can I say, I guess she knew what it was too) Even though we are on a tight budget right now, and only gettig the shirts. I figured since we weren't getting any shirts, right??? So up to the counter we go, total please..... $5.95!!! YES you read that right! SIX BUCKS!

Total score.

Chucks-

If at all possible I would try on the baby chucks. They can be a tight fit with the upper foot. When my girls were little chucks were always tricky to get the perfect size. I know find they run a little big on my oldest who is five. That being said . . . I LOVE chucks!!!! They are awesomely cute and go with everything. LOL JC Penny is where I buy the girls black low tops. Journey's for Kids is another good place to buy this seasons colors.

Shannon, Sophee just walked by and said ohhhhhhhhhh where is Soapie's Sleeping Beauty dress? LOL

I made a sleeveless SB dress for the fancy shmancy tea party last September. I modified one of the commercial patterns as well.

I also agree you can do a lot with the Simply Sweet pattern. The sky is the limit when you use your imagination.

Day 2, Sunday, we went to DHS to STAR WARS WEEKENDS!!!!! Patrick was looking forward to this all year!

Waiting in line to meet an Ewok...not sure who...but he was short and hairy!

Just before the Star Wars parade...the little Green men enlisted my kids.

We had lunch at Sci-Fi...our new favorite place to eat...if you ever go...get the soup...soooo good and not too much!

Then we waited in the world's longest line for this guy...

But I liked him a lot!!!!

Just another picture on the way out.

Thanks to whoever came up with the shorts out of the pillow panels...Patrick loves them!!! Katie's dress got a lot of attention because they are a reproduction of the sheets most of us Star Wars geeks had as kids....we kept hearing..."Hey! She's wearing my sheets!"

Jham~ Your PM is full.

Nikki - I went into my user cp to look for the stroller swap thread and it is gone. I wanted to look furthur into the beverage holder and see if the person before me got back to me. Do you know what happen?? Did the swap dissolve??? Thanks!!!

 

[revrob]

Oh I do love this dress. AND..... guess who is sitting behind me doing my hair??? any takers? yup, she looked over and said "OOOOOOOH Mama, I just have to have that. I KNOW just KNOW you can make that for me, mommy. PREETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTY PLEEEAASEEEE?" hahaha Um yeah so Guess what I will be making? SO I am sure I will have a few questions in a week or so.

You better get to sewing! I'm happy to answer any questions!

That is TOO CUTE! I think I need to make one for AbbyGrace. She didn't like the idea that this one wasn't for her. I had to sneak it out of the house to mail it!

I have ALWAYS loved that Sleeping Beauty, Aimee! The ruffles on the front Just beautiful!

Ok, I've got pics uploading - let's see if they're ready.

I finished up this Ariel Vida this afternoon. This is for AbbyGrace's trip that is coming up.

Nevermind Nikki...I found the thread and resubscribed...that was weird...I lost my subscription. OK now I need to see about getting a beverage holder...I can't believe someone took it off the stroller..grrrr...but it looks like it was successful on its maiden voyage. Thanks!!!

 

[twob4him]

WOW Shannon...that is absolutely amazing!!! Is that one of Heather's designs??? I mean you gotta be impressed with yourself over this one....just stunning!!! Abbygrace is just beautiful and looks so happy!!! Good job mom!!! Ok now I really am going to go sew!!! lol!!!

Oh I will be prepared to ask them too! haha

I just love that Vida! So cute. I just love Ariels hair the red with pink dots, sooo cute! You did a fabulous job!

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

And the last for now...because this thing is toooo slow for me! (And I hear Buckley whinning downstairs....he must want to move again.)

We went to MK this day...recycles for the boys and Katie too really...her outfit was from her birthday, only for her birthday she had a pair of pant with "TINK" down one leg...we decided that would be too hot for FL in June!

Here they are waiting on the morning bus...aren't they all so cool in their new sunglasses and new fans "Tinker Bell" brought them!

Speaking of Tinker Bell...she was so fun!

And becuase 3-D pictures are just fun!

The kids got to help turn the lights out for the night time parade.

 

[ncmomof2]

I finished two more today. It was much easier thanks to my ruffler coming in the mail and Carla's e-book. I doubt if I would have figured it out without it!!

Here is the first:

the back...

The second:

the back...

Do you all think that the Ariel one is too short as a dress? It seems a weird length, too short for a dress but too long for anything besides crop pants and it will be too hot in Sept for those.

Are there any tutorials out there for layering ruffles? I love the look and I want to make sure I do it correctly, or at least efficiently!

Thanks!

Thanks, guys! I hate to admit it, but I AM pleased with how it came out. Mainly because AbbyGrace loves Ariel and I wanted this dress to be great for her. She loves it, so I guess that's a good thing!

The design is not Heather Sue's. I purchased this before Heather started her etsy store. However, Heather has a very cute Ariel cutie that I would have purchased had I not already had one in my files.

Now, off to start a few dresses that I need to get finished.

Please help! I am trying to learn my new embroidery machine. I bought some applique and embroidery patterns last night. I get how to do the embroidery patterns but not sure how to do the applique. I am trying to make the mad hatter and I found an online tutorial and it said the machine should stitch out the outline first, does that really happen or do I need to put the applique fabric down from the first stitch???? Really confused here!

Really confused here!

The machine is going to stitch an outline stitch (called a die line). AFTER it stitches, you lay down the fabric, making sure that it covers the die line completely. Then the machine will stitch a "tack down" stitch. After the tack down, remove the hoop and cut ONLY the fabric around the stitch line (don't cut through the stabilizer). Then you put the hoop back on the machine and continue to stitch. You will need to do this for each section that you applique.

Shannon, Adorable Ariel!!!! Did you see Heather's Tink she listed today? I am having issues not buying it. LOL

Huskymom- If you search youtube you will find some good video tutorials. When I did my first applique I did a practice run. I only used thread so I could see all the steps.

KELL-
Okay, you can't leave us hanging! Which AG doll was it?!??! That is an amazing score. My best was 2 cheerleader Barbies (real Barbies) for a total of...drumroll...17 CENTS-INCLUDING tax. But I think your AG beats mine!

The Moonk's Mom-
We still have those sheets in our closet! Where did you find the reproduction fabric

Shannon:
LOVE LOVE LOVE the ruffley Ariel dress...looks like she does too!


Oooh crud I don't know what happened to my quotes

Thanks for the posting of the Megara dress!

Okay now get this...I swear my kids are gonna make me nuts...today Em (12) decides she wants me to make a skirt to go with her Mulan hotfix shirt. Um...she's 12, and wears a women's size 9/10/11. What the heck?! She has two fabrics she wants me to use. Suggestions?

Some people will make designs with a placement stitch first to show you where to place the fabric and then the die line. Some people skip the placement stitch and do just the die line. I like using the placement stitch so I know where to put the fabric. I think it is more common not to have that stitch though. If they don't have 2 steps of outline I just do the 1st step and then go back and do it again.. hope that makes some sense. If you google machine embroidery applique tutorial you should get a ton of hits. www.lynniepinnie.com has a great tutorial.

Shannon, LOVE the Ariel dress! Ariel was my favorite as a child. I know that movie by heart.
I noticed your rolled hem on the ruffles.. definitely looks better than how mine come out. I need to try it again.

That little sundress with all the characters is adorable.
I think the Ariel dress is fine. I personally like dresses shorter when I know they are going to be played in. We made Hannah's dresses that length for DW, and I am glad because she had no trouble playing on all those playgrounds.

I would have quoted, but I was just checking to see if my hubby emailed me.

Off to make baby boy gifts.. soooo don't know what to put on boy stuff. I hate picking out colors. I am doing a stacked name on a yellow romper. I think I am going with brown and blue. Hope that doesn't clash too bad. It is hard not to sneak some pink in there..

THank you! I thought I had figured that out but felt overwhelmed so I wasn't sure. I am on step 6 of a 34 step pattern. SO far so good!

Big time score Kelly!! I wish I could get a find like that too. Now you can make her and Georgia matching Criss Cross tops.
