Disboutiquers Part 13 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[MinnieVanMom]

I just made this and it is not exactly great. I should have used heavy interfacing or plastic behind. This is just fabric. But it will store things and keep DS from kicking the back and ruining the leather. Now he gets to ruin the cover.

I made Evelyn a birthday dress that had some cupcakes on it. Plus I appliqued a cupcake with three candles. In case you didn't guess, its Carla's stripwork jumper pattern.

Happy Birthday to Evelyn and great dress!

So cute! What a lucky birthday girl!

Very nice. I like your new car. I wanted to get a Pacifica, but somehow DH talked me into the T& C minivan. I'm still regretting it. btw, what state do you live in where you get a view like that? Wow!

I went simpler this time and Jack came out much better!! I am learning!

Hey, is anyone looking for some Ratatoille fabric? I found some cool stuff (nope I'm not selling it or making money off the sale, I just thought it was a cool find to pass along).

I'm interested! I havn't seen any Ratatouille fabric. Pass on the info!

Hi Everyone,

We are home from watching the 3 kids this weekend (2 neices, 1 nephew)! We had a GREAT time at the Please Touch Museum in Philly yesterday - if you have kids under 7 and you're in the area you should go - so fun!!! Its all hands on - I think their favorite was the water play area and then the make your flying thing area and the market was ADORABLE!!!

This picture was snapped as the car seats were getting installed in our car - lol - silly doggie!! Zoey appeared to like sitting in Hannah's car seat!!!

This is my Pooh storybook twirl for a big give - its my first double layer - Im not sure I love it - do you think its okay?

I was wondering how do you tell if the paw print fabric is cats or dogs or doesnt it matter??

I love Evelyn's cupcake jumper. The Jack applique is awesome, that's even nice for grown-ups and teens

So here is the Tinkerbell dress I made! I need help!!! Not sure how I like it.
First it is too short I think. What do you all think? Could I just add some bloomers or should I just start over? And the straps are supposed to be like "wings", but I am not sure! HELP!

I think it's really cute! It makes me think of the "classic" tinkerbelle.

What about it doesn't seem right to you, other than the length?

Thanks! I think it is just the length, but I think I will make a panty cover in the same material and see if that "FIXES" it!

Please touch museum looks like a fun place to be. Glad that your nieces and nephew had fun.

The twirl skirt is beautiful...I love how colorful it is, and it matches that shirt perfectly!

I think that looks fine! I would just add a bloomers. I wouldn't start over.

Sheri-

the best thing to do is just do it. I have a few websites that are really good for instructions and how to's to understand the process. Just pick one tutorial and start doing it- that really is the simplest way to learn how to use SCAL. It can be confusing for sure, so this is the only wya I can tell you bhow to start.

Go here for tutorials:

Hope that helps some. It takes practice and time- but you'll det it at some point. Expect it to be slow at first, but it should become second nature at some point!

Thank you I know with time I will get it just impatient, I want to have everything figured out so when I retire in 11 months I can just sit down and go for it, I just have so little time now I am so tired when I get home from work and everything is so hectic there right now.

Has anyone done the Emily Puzzle Me pattern? That looks like it would be PERFECT for a Minnie outfit!

I thought about getting that pattern but havent yet, it looks like it has a lot of ideas for it.

 

[emcreative]

I think Tink with some pantie covers would be adorable (I'm not much on being able to see a little girl's panties, either!)

Sheri Dee if you do, please post some pics...that just seems like it would make a perfect Minnie outfit.

Ooh! That is so cute! I just love it!

Hello everyone! I've just perused your thread and wow you ladies have some talent. Amazing clothes. Beautiful job on the easter dresses and sleeping beauty dress.

I don't really sew. My mom bought me sewing machine 3 years ago. I broke that bad boy out last summer and made a couple of things for my daughter. A soaker, a bunch of wipes and a skirt that never fit I'm inspired to give it a go again.

I've been knitting for a little under a year and am really into that. I signed up for the Big Give, maybe I can knit something for that because my sewing is something I couldn't give away.

Well I'm going to go back to looking at the amazing clothes you all posted.

Lisa

!! I'm glad you found us! You can do it! I made a disasterous pair of pants for my nephew 16 years ago and gave up on sewing. But, after I found this group, I started up again and now I love it!

I just made this and it is not exactly great. I should have used heavy interfacing or plastic behind. This is just fabric. But it will store things and keep DS from kicking the back and ruining the leather. Now he gets to ruin the cover.

I wish I would have made one of these for my tahoe before Tessa ripped the leather pocket on the back of the seat! I know, I can have Jenna come and sew it up for me!

That looks wonderful!! Great job!!!

Your car looks great!! I love the Mickey emblem! I want one of those, but Henry is a car painter and he won't let me stick anything to the car. Darn it! Did you buy it the Dave Ramsey way?

Two of the world's greatest Aunt/Uncles strikes again!! The museum looks like such fun! You need to get Zoey her own car seat! I used to buckle my Tomia in with a seat belt made for dogs. I took her all over the place with me. Josie and Pierre...not so much.

I LOVE the Pooh storybook skirt! What is it you're not sure about! I think it's beautiful and I love the fabrics you put with it!

So here is the Tinkerbell dress I made! I need help!!! Not sure how I like it.

It's perfect! I wouldn't change a thing! Tink is supposed to have a short skirt. If you made it too long, it would start to look like a pirate-y kind of ragged hem instead of Tink's cute zig-zaggy hem. I think the panty cover is a good idea. I love the way she's standing in this pic- pacifier and all! Such a cutie!

Thanks! I am in the process of making a cover!

Sheri Dee if you do, please post some pics...that just seems like it would make a perfect Minnie outfit.

Yeah, that was my issue! No panties showing!

Awww, thank you! I didn't realize she was posing until I uploaded the pic!LOL And the reason I was trying to make it short was so that it looked like tink and not pirate-y like you said! Thanks for all the reassurance, I am leaving it and off to make one more!

Adorable! Panty covers will be perfect.
