Disboutiquers Part 25 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[dianemom2]

The fat quarters at our Walmart were pretty picked over too. But I did find several colors that I needed. I am going to check back on the fabric next week to see if they reduce the prices on it. Our store had a lot of fabric left. My daughter's allergy shot is right around the corner so I am out there every week anyhow.

Thanks everyone, the pattern is the same one I used for the Izzy outfit I made last weekend. It's Carlas so it's very easy to put together and the shorts are part of the pattern. You can find it here https://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/featured-products/3-perfectly-preppy-skorts-skirts-sizes-6-mo-12-years-doll-sizes-included.htm I am making the flouncy skirt, for maximum twirl!

QUESTION:

Can someone with this pattern please tell me how much fabric is needed for a size 4T and a 18-24mnths? Trying to decide if I can swing this purchase right now and the amount of yardage will play a roll . . . THANKS!!!!!

this dress is made from some curtain panels i got at my fave store-Park Ave.Thrift Store!
thank you fro looking! LOVE all the cute things shared lately!

The kitty outfits are adorable . . . but I had to stop and comment on this dress (and I think you made a pillowcase dress from other similar fabric that you posted earlier) . . . I swear this was part of my bedroom set when DH & I first got married . . . I LOVED this material and it looks adorable as little girl dresses!!! I don't think I have ANY of the pieces left anymore, but I would totally repurpose them if i did!!!

No price is to high to be able to visit Patience, er um I mean D.

What a lovely day. I am only an hour by train from the city and it sounds like there are a few of us that could get to NYC fairly easily. We should plan a meet and greet. How do you think the AG folks would feel if a group of middle aged women showed up for lunch and brought our doll and no children? Hmm that might be fun just to watch them try not to laugh at us!!!

I agree . . . in fact, I'm even willing to give up my trip to Montana in a couple of weeks if D will come nab me from the airport on our layover and let me crash for the week . . .
Has NOTHING to do with the fact that I'd be visiting the ILs in Montana
It's all about getting to hang with D and Patience!!!!

And oh! how I miss just hopping on the train to go to NYC for the day ...

I am not finishing Madisons give tonite. I had a bit of a meltdown because we are probably going to have to cancel my birthday trip to Charlotte for the fall race. My mom was in the hospital last week and I think it is way too much for her to watch DS. So I had a bit of a cry and am now tired.

Sorry you probably have to cancel your trip . . . if you could just come down by yourself I've got a room for ya!

Don't forget, I charge an admission fee to visit Patience... $500.02 + tax. However, you can visit me for half price, if you got the coupon in your weekly mailer.


I bring my doll there all the time... And I know for a fact that half of the people that work at AG have their own AG collection - so you'll probably have some great conversation.


I totally missed Andrea's initial comment... but seriously, if I find you stuffed in my mail box - the first thing I will do is post a picture on Disboards - then I will offer to help you out.


D~

Hmm . . . what can I sell to afford the admission price? I didn't get my mailer, I think a neighbor took it from the mailbox while we were out of town

If I bring my doll (provided she's back from the hospital by then) when I visit in a couple of weeks, can WE go to the AG store?

I can't imagine anyone fitting in my mailbox . . . I would TOTALLY take a picture and post it . . .

Here's the link to Carla C's amazing ruffler foot tutorial. It's a totally free download, and it's a very nicely done - easy to understand - with lots of pictures tutorial.

D~

Thanks for the link!!!





Okay . . . I've missed a ton of things I wanted to quote . . . I'm mulling over ideas for my BG outfits . . . I totally need to clean the house and do laundry, but we're out of laundry soap and I'm meeting Kristen later today to get her fabric to her, so I'm thinking I might skip the cleaning for now and just go run errands and have fun Even better, we decided to meet at Rita's Italian Ice and I got a text from them saying they have Florida Orange today!!!! So not only do I get to meet one of you fabulous ladies in person today, but I get to have my favorite Gelati flavor AND it's Kids Eat Free there today

I am trying to find the mickey and minnie applique design where they are holding the balloons from all the countries. I thought it was heather sue's, but it isn't. I have looked through all my normal sites, but can't find it.

Found some fabric that hasn't been washed yet for outfits so that is going in the laundry.

As soon as the boy leaves on he bus I am going to finish one of the shirts for Madisons give and I already have the last one hooper and ready to go.

I have a goal of finishing at least 2 more outfits for the boy and one for the girl for August this week

I hope you have a successful day. I ran into a big math miscalculation -- well, I didn't really miscalculate, I just used a skirt length instead of thinking dress length so now am making skirts instead of dresses so now need to go buy t's -- it's not a good day for me. I hope you get everything done that you need to.

Thanks for the bigger picture - that is such a cute skirt. I had trouble with dd's Audrey too - for some reason it turned out really long??? The next time I make it, I will examine the pattern and see if I made some sort of mistake in assembling it.

D~

Longer is better than shorter. I have a patchwork ruffled and two layers done and I work from the bottom up so I can't add more to the top. I now have a skirt instead of a dress. I'm so mad. All my stupidity for not consulting Carla's guide on the Simply Sweet before doing my math. I really wanted to make dresses, not shirts and skirts. Oh well, good thing I can add a waistband and one of the two will be done. But now I have to go to the store to get shirts that may be a bit hard to find with my fabric colors. I am so not having a good day. Maybe I should just make a SS for Ginger instead and surprise Cheryl with it! Naw....I put way to much work into this for a soda bottle (don't tell Cheryl or Ginger I said that. I believe Cheryl is in NYC today so hopefully she won't read this. If she does I'll deny writing it and tell her someone hacked into my Dis account.

I also took a pic of my pincushion to show you but I can't get it off the camera and onto this new computer. Again, I'm just not having a good day. I think I am going to take ds to get his hair cut and then take the kids to the aquarium. Too hot today to go to the zoo and they need to get out of the house before I go insane. I'd rather stay home and sew though.

Marianne - actually, you get in for free when you come... You confirmed your dates before admission went up 500.02%

If I bring my doll (provided she's back from the hospital by then) when I visit in a couple of weeks, can WE go to the AG store?

For sure!

I get to have my favorite Gelati flavor AND it's Kids Eat Free there today

Sounds like fun... I get to run errands today too... Have to bring dd to her orthodontist appt... Then I need to go to Target to get tissue paper, and to the grocery store to get my oatmeal that I forgot yesterday... Then I get to drive dd 20 miles to the pool to meet up with her friend. Bonus... oldest dd is at the amusment park with her bff today - so I am kidless until after work tomorrow.

SOrry about the skirt... I can't wait to see the pincushion though. I won't tell Cheryl a thing - you know me... lips sealed.

I am at work now but when I get home I'll look at the pattern. I will say that when I made the 4T I think it used about half of my 4 yards of fabric. It's a big twirly skirt and it's lined so that really eats into the fabric. You also want to make sure if you are using a patterned fabric that the pattern doesn't really have a right or wrong direction otherwise one side of the skirt will have the pattern upside down. Ask me how I know

Ouch!

I appreciate you looking!!! I think I'm leaning towards something else for this project, but I'd really like to know how much fabric those two sizes call for!!!

I was able to look this up.. while at work, shhh!

For the flouncy skirt

Yoke and skort pieces - 5/8 yard for up to size 5
Yoke only (if not making skort) 3/8 yard for up to size 5

For skirt part
Up to 10" in length - 5/8 yard for skirt and 5/8 for lining
10.5" - 12" - 3/4 yard for each
12" - 19" - 1 yard for each.

Lining and skort don't necessarily have to use the fashion fabric, if that helps.

This is my first attempt at posting my pictures here so I hope it works.

My granddaughter has been asking me for a mermaid dress for her and her doll for a few weeks and I finally finished it.

I've been working on outfits for my grandkids for a Sept. Disney trip.
These are for my grandson.

This romper is lined or can be reversible, so while digging in my stash for a lining I came across Charlie Brown with Snoopy and decided to make it reversible.

These are for my granddaughter and I have more in progress for her.

 

[cogero]

Carol your outfits are just gorgeous

 

[teresajoy]

Wow! So many cute things! The mermaid dress is amazing!! This is my favorite though! We're huge Mickey Mouse Clubhouse fans.

My machine went to the shop yesterday, so I'm feeling some sewing withdrawal. I actually had to do some cleaning and laundry instead. Boo.

Regards,
C.

Drive by post here! Finally finished something to share!

I had been hoarding this material for years and realized if I didn't make Sara Beth an outfit soon, she will be to old for it! This is a freankenpattern. Simply sweet combined with a simplicity pattern, combined with my own ideas. And it is my first had applique other than a mickey head!

Hoping to get one more project done this afternoon! We will see!
