Disboutiquers Part 22 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

I found a pajama pattern that I think is like the Easy Fit Pants.

I tried it out (one piece pattern) and it seems rather slim. When I put the elastic in the casing it barely goes in at the waist. I made the smallest size I had (7) which I should have made smaller as she is only a size 5. I didn't touch the width, just the length (now seeing them made, I'm glad I didn't change the width). I figured it wouldn't matter if it's baggy as they are PJ's.

I hope it fits my niece for Christmas!

I need to get more thread so I can hem the legs.

Thanks for this, saving it for future reference.



The shirts look great! Not free but digistitches.com has luggage tags in the hoop I think.

Theresa, my granddaughter came over tonight and tried on the dress. It fit perfectly and looked so cute on her. My daughter in law said it is her favorite outfit I've made so far and can't wait for here to wear it! Can't wait to see your patchwork twirl!

Will she let you pot a picture of her in it? I'd love to see it if you can!

I just finished up a set for Joey's big give for his sister. I made her a tee and a knit twirl skirt with vintage Disney patches. I scanned some vintage Disney scrapbook stickers I bought at the park a few years ago, printed them onto to transfer paper and then ironed them on to white knit. Then I put wonder under on the back of the knit and cut them out. Ironed them to the skirt and then straight stitched the edges. It turned out so cute. I'm doing a similar one for dd and ds.

Those ARE cute! Corey bought those stickers on our last trip. I had so much fun looking through them!

I'd love to find a free lip balm holder for in the hoop now that I know they exist!!!lol!!!

Not free, not even sure if it's available, but I know Heather had made a chapstick holder design a few months ago. I don't think she ever put it on her site. But, it was really cute. She gave the prototype to Corey and he uses it on his camera. Although, at the moment I can't think of what he puts in it. Maybe a memory card? It's a cute Mickey design.

These are really cute! They do look quite slim for PJs though.
I really think you would love the Easy Fit pattern if you tried it!

Well, I learned something the hard way tonight. I had to fold my fabric in on itself twice to fit my cutting mat. I did not realize that because I had it folded that way, I only needed to make ONE cut to get both underskirt pieces I needed for the Scallopini skirt. Yep, I cut my piece, and then instantly slid the fabric over to make my second cut without opening out the first piece. So instead of having a nice large piece of leftover yardage with two underskirt pieces, I now have a small amount left and FOUR underskirt pieces. I now have a note pinned to the extra pieces so I can remember in the future they are ready to go for a size 1 or 2 Scallopini.

Needless to say, I am pushing a larger cutting mat to the TOP of my Christmas list!

Thanks for the links to the different sites everyone!

I did find an adorable Nativity design that I'll put on a shirt to wear to Sunday School !!!!! I already bought it, but I just realized, I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL FIT MY 5x7 Hoop!!!! UGH!!!!

Happy Halloween!! Have fun trick or treating - and be safe!!

Thanks for sharing this Wendy! I'm going to make this for Rebecca. She wears uniforms to school, but on 1/2 days they can wear jeans and Christian t-shirts. Now I know what she'll be wearing in December. The designer is the same one who I got my Valentine lollipop covers from, and they stitched out easily.

I'd like to find a lip balm freebie too...but I'd be willing to pay my favorite digitizer for one, now that I know it exists. (yes, that was the sound of a large hint being dropped...)

One thing that I gave out to all of the PE Coaches, Art and Music Teachers and Librarian one year were decorated clipboards. I also gave them to homeroom teachers as valentine gifts. The clipboards were about $1 each and since I scrapbook, I already had the paper and ribbon to decorate them with and Modpodge is cheap! The teachers loved them and are still using them several years later. Here are some pics:

I LOVE those clipboards!!! Could you possibley explain how you did them? The paper looks so flat and the lettering looks great!!

Hi guys - Just got Michael's Big Give shirts all done!!

I love the shirts. I also like the idea of coordinating, not matching. I know both ideas work, but it's nice to see shirts that go together but aren't identical.

I just finished up a set for Joey's big give for his sister. I made her a tee and a knit twirl skirt with vintage Disney patches. I scanned some vintage Disney scrapbook stickers I bought at the park a few years ago, printed them onto to transfer paper and then ironed them on to white knit. Then I put wonder under on the back of the knit and cut them out. Ironed them to the skirt and then straight stitched the edges. It turned out so cute. I'm doing a similar one for dd and ds.

Clever idea. I'm tryng to figure out a way to catalogue it for future use.

Thanks Teresa

I have been having fun making my own patterns. The Simply Sweet worked out well so I think I will just modify the pattern I found and make it work. I will attempt making a Vida on my own, if it doesn't work then I will purchase it. I doubt I will have time to start that until January.

My oldest niece picked out the fabric last year after Christmas, it glows in the dark.

I am in sewing depression! UGH! I honestly thought about selling everything after this week!

I was making the Mary Poppins Jolly Holiday dress...it really was looking so nice...I was happy at how it was coming together. Since it was not from one pattern, I was down to attaching the top to the skirt when I realized I had cut the top almost 4 sizes too small! I had bought just enough fabric to make the dress...but I scoured through my scraps and found just enough to re-cut the top. This was Friday afternoon about 2 hours before the party we were going to... I sewed the top, attached to the skirt....only to realize I did that backwards! This is where you would insert me in almost tears and saying I may never sew again! But, I have stuff I have to get done for my BFF's DD for their trip in December...but I may never try to sew for myself again at this rate! So, needless to say...no Jolly Holiday dress...what there is of it is cramed...hard...into the bottom of my fabric cabinet to live there until I see fit to look at it again!

Now...I want to really figure out how to use my dang embroidery machine...I think my brain is going in too many different directions to figure it out!

Enough from me and my complaints...must not be my week!

Question for all of you who have bought/sell on etsy. I bought some patches on Esty the 4th of October, I had talked to the seller before I bought them about the names to put on them color of thread ect. Well I bought them, and as of yet I haven't recieved them, or heard from the seller so I e-mailer her last week just to check in and see how things were going(we leave in 21 days) and have not heard anything back from her (this is not the same seller that some other people were having problems with recently). How long should I give her to get back to me? And What do I even do to get me money back? She has all positive feed back, am I not giving her enough time? thanks

Oh no!!!! That is so disappointing! I really hope you finish the dress though, because I was really looking forward to seeing it!

Embroidery machines aren't nearly so hard as they seem to be! You can do it. But, maybe you should take a break first!

Thanks Teresa

I love glow in the dark fabric! That will be fun! If you search the bookmarks for Vida, you should be able to find the version that Linnette posted for us. That might give you some ideas.

Dang, I hate days like that. You are a super seamstress and it was just a bad day. We have all been there but it stills makes for sucky day. Glad you found enough fabric to get the dress going again. I have put away a quilt and then taken the fabric for a quilt and used it for something different. It is ok, really to put fabric away and then when you see later, in a better state you will know what to do with it.

Can I help you learn about your embroidery machine? What kind is it? What help do you need?

Wishing better days for you.

You have given her more than enough time. I would write a letter and give her a date to have the pattern delivered to you. I hope you paid with a credit card and file a dispute and get your money back.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

Could she be out of town? Did you convo her on Etsy or through email?

I have so done that....such a frustrating experience. I ended up giving my half finished outfit to a friend that sews because I couldn't bear to look at it again.

I need some help with stitch era--I took a design & Added a name to it, but when I exported it it was saved as an eox file which my machine won't read. When I clicked on the file type to export as it was as brother pes 6, but saves as eox. HELP!!!

 

[effervescent]

I have really enjoyed looking through this thread (for hours! ) and seeing all the great creations everyone has made. We just got home from Disney last week, so I thought I'd share a couple pics of what I made. I didn't have the kids model anything beforehand, so everything is action shots.

DD had to have something Tiana:

Minnie for our Chef Mickey breakfast day:

Snow White for a MK day:

Incredibles for Studios - I did the tshirts for the kids and the skirt for DD

Tinkerbell for MNSSHP:

Emperor Zurg for MNSSHP - we forgot the chest/shoulder piece at home, but DS1 said he preferred it this way :

Thanks for letting me share! I can't wait to get started on next year's outfits!

They aren't free, but they don't cost much, I've made a bunch of these and they are pretty easy.

DH told me today that he'd rather get me an embroidery machine than have me keep buying my embroidered things. So those of you with experience, what machines would you recommend? Any to stay away from? We can't do a super expensive machine at the moment, but I'd like something I can use for awhile.
