Disboutiquers Part 26 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[jessica52877]

These look terrific! Did you sew the zebra pettiskirt too? I've never done one of them. Are they hard?


That's funny because I started out with a Brother 270D and I had major hoop envy. I also insisted that I HAD TO HAVE the 6x10 hoop. I bought my Babylock Ellageo 3 off of ebay and I believe that it is the first cousin to your Brother Ult2001. I also have hardly used that 6x10 hoop. I think it is hard to get on and off the machine and hard to get things in the hoop correctly. Maybe on the newer machines, like the Ellegante or the 6000D it is easier to hoop things correctly. When I was at the Brother store several months ago they were showing me how they had changed the design on the larger hoop to make it easier to use. Later this month I am going to the Sewing Expo and I am hoping to take a closer look at the newer machines. Not that we can afford one right now, but is fun to look and to dream.

I think if I did more dresses I would use it more but to hoop a tee using the large hoop is just pita. Even if I can open seams up it is a pita and I don't like using sticky stablizer or even a spray so that complicates hooping using the 6x10 even more. A piece of fabric is a whole different game.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome back! I am still not quite 100% yet but I am thankful for being able to take time off work to recover and go on the trip. We had to take things more slowly this trip but both of us still had a good time. I go back to work next week so I am sure it will be a challenging week!

I went through the pictures on our camera from this trip and I realized I didn't have pictures of all the outfits I made! I tend to make things in duplicates and embellish them in different ways. I hope these pictures will inspire someone for more "grown up" customs.


Last but not least, a picture of DH and I with our matching mouse ears:

(Just in case you are wondering why my hairstyle look slightly different in the pictures, I got a hair cut at MK in the middle of the trip. I am donating my hair to one of the places in town that makes wigs for kids undergoing cancer treatments, so I had to cut 12 inches off!)

Thanks for looking!

Edit: Sorry the pictures are huge. I guess I must have forgotten how to resize properly in Photobucket?!

You are so cute and I love all your outfits! I love seeing the characters too but my family, not so much.

QUESTION:

I want to buy some patterns before that 20% at YCMT goes away . . . but I need some opinions please!!!

I'm considering the Dainty Designs Bundle Pack of the
Peasant Top
Corset with Shirred Back
Layered Tulle Twirl Skirt

How does this peasant top pattern compare with the Portrait Peasant top? I know they're both Carla C. right? So what's the difference?

And are the corset & skirt patterns worth it? Or should I be able to figure these out for myself?


I'd been planning on buying the Portrait Peasant (and using it for pirate style shirts for the boys as my justification for buying a little girls' dress pattern), but if the other is pretty much the same AND I'd get those other two (but are they all worth $31 - the 20%???) . . .

Also in my cart are the Simply Sweet, the Easy Fits for Teens & Adults, the Jamie Dress and the Marlo Top

I CANNOT spend $65 on patterns right now . . . I'd been planning on $25 . . .

So - what should I get? What would you get? HELP!!! That coupon code goes away on the 7th!!!! Thanks in advance for your help and opinion!!!!

First up, blouse with Heather's Mickey silhouette embroidery (though you can't see the embroidery in the picture) and a pair of skorts with animal print for one of our Animal Kingdom days.

I also made a few blouses in different colours with Heather's Tink silhouette or Mickey silhouette embroidery. Unfortunately I do not have pictures of them.

Next up is a Meghan peasant dress with Mickey head flowers along the hem. I designed the flowers (they still need more work since they stitch out in a slightly funny way).

I also made one with Heather's Tink silhouette embroidery and one in a lighter pink with Heather's Mickey silhouette embroidery.

Finally, my favourite outfit – the Minnie-inspired Jamie dress! This is one of my favourite pictures from this trip.

Last but not least, a picture of DH and I with our matching mouse ears:

AWESOME!!! I it all. Looks like you had a great time, too. Good luck going back to work. Be sure you take it easy.
That is so great of you to donate your hair. I have done it twice, and am currently growing out again. My nieces told me about it and if they can be so selfless as young teens, surely I can do it, too. That is really sweet of you.

Would you mind sharing how you made the mickey ears? They are so cute!! How neat of your dh to wear them, too. You two look so cute in that photo.

I can't help too much other than to say that the Dainty Design patterns are not Carla's. Looks like the bundle comes with an "extra" pattern that is Carla's. I have the Portrait Peasant but not Dainty Design's peasant so I don't know how they differ.

You would think it is my first day of school today I have been up all night and can't seem to fall asleep and now it is 5am and I am fully awake. It is going to be a LONG day today.


Cheryl I'll be your cheerleader too That is great that you found a pattern. Sending tons of pixie dust that the pattern is very easy to do!

First up, blouse with Heather's Mickey silhouette embroidery (though you can't see the embroidery in the picture) and a pair of skorts with animal print for one of our Animal Kingdom days.

The next picture shows the embroidery on the blouse. I paired it with a pair of black skorts. I couldn't decide what embellishment to put on the skorts so I left them blank. I can always add something later.

I also made a few blouses in different colours with Heather's Tink silhouette or Mickey silhouette embroidery. Unfortunately I do not have pictures of them.

Next up is a Meghan peasant dress with Mickey head flowers along the hem. I designed the flowers (they still need more work since they stitch out in a slightly funny way).

Since I liked the Meghan peasant dress, I decided to try it out as a top. I used the same Mickey head flower embroidery for this top. I paired it with the "When you wish upon a star" music skirt. I had the lei because we had dinner at Ohana.

I also made one with Heather's Tink silhouette embroidery and one in a lighter pink with Heather's Mickey silhouette embroidery.

Thanks for posting. Love all the pictures but especially the one with Mickey & Minnie covering their eyes. That is just too cute

So cool...my daughter donates her hair to Locks of Love about once a year. She started doing that in high school (and it almost killed me to see her long blond hair go bye bye that first time!) In college her whole sorority started donating as one of their service projects!

In fact, she is scheduled to donate in the next few days...just in time for our trip to Disney. The cause became really close to her heart after she met her husband. Two weeks after he proposed he was diagnosed with Lymphoma. They had to postpone the wedding a few weeks so he would be finished with his chemo before the wedding.

Hi Everone:

I read the tutorial about how to make appliques and I'm about to embark on my journey, however I have one question.

At what point do you hand sew the eyes and nose parts? Is it when you have your applique completly done and heat n bonded together and ironed onto the shirt?

Or do you do it right before you iron it on the shirt (or different item)?

What size needle would you recommend for hand sewing these parts?

thanks a bunch ladies.. I'm super excited..

I can't help you because I don't hand sew them. I pain them on and I do it when I am all finished with the sewing. I also generally try to sew as much as I can -- noses are actually pretty easy.

I totally spent the entire day on Katelyn's give today . . . We had a PJ day (the boys & I, DH, of course, had to work -the sad life of a golf pro's wife I lead) . . . I really hope my project looks as good as Phalen insists it does . . .

I did a BTS shirt for Ben yesterday and then two out of five items for Katelyn's give. I hope to get one more done today and then finish on Thurs -- need to run to the store today to get a couple of things for it. It's too hard fabric or clothes shopping with kids. They do well at grocery stores, so you think they'd be able to handle fabric, but I guess they can't each pick a treat at the fabric store.

I
And I want to make a public service announcement and I know Teresa will too! Everyone be so so careful with your kids around water! It is so sad when something like this happens and it is always an accident and can happen right in front of our eyes.

Woo hoo! This is probably the easiest challenge yet. I only ever use 3 patterns and I hate to follow instructions so it will be easy to pick something new and modify! Now, if only I can follow through and do it. It won't be spectacular but atleast I'll make something new!

I second your public service announcement. We have a large koi pond in our yard (goes to 3 ft deep) and I now let my kids play out back alone, but if any friends are over an adult must be there. I can trust my kids, but no one else's. I also had a friend of friend's whose child went missing at a backyard BBQ -- they found him at the side of the house drowned with his face in a puddle -- probably fell running. I smother my kids. I value them too much to let an accident happen. I also lost a cousin to drowning (actually two of them -- one as an adult and they were from the same family).

Totally agree on the challenge -- my outfit for week 5 actually fits the bill perfectly for week 6. I always doctor patterns or just look a t a tut on line and then go do it my way!

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome back! I am still not quite 100% yet but I am thankful for being able to take time off work to recover and go on the trip. We had to take things more slowly this trip but both of us still had a good time. I go back to work next week so I am sure it will be a challenging week!

Fabulous photos! You are very photogenic! I adore the one of you and Minnie and the one of you and your dh is fantastic as well. I have a complaint though -- the pics are too small!!!! I just saw a pic of Nini recently and she was nothing like I pictured and neither are you ~ I'm usually pretty good at figuring out what people look like too. I donated my hair once (after having ds). Now it never seems to grow long enough to donate again What a very sweet thing for you to do and kind of a cool memory of your vacation. I love all the clothes you made!

I can't speak for the all the patterns and this will be quick b/c it's school today and I must run -- the SS is a staple pattern for me for the bodice, though I usually alter it somewhat. You can put any type of skirt on it and you can vary the bodice. So highly recommended. the Portrait Peasant is also a staple for me and I figure out tons of ways to alter it. I have the adult easy fits and only used the pattern once, though would love to make more pjs out of it -- just spend too much time making things for the kids. Can't speak for the other patterns as I don't have any of them.

You would think it is my first day of school today I have been up all night and can't seem to fall asleep and now it is 5am and I am fully awake. It is going to be a LONG day today.

We did a night fishing trip (dh's idea -- NOT mine) and got up at 1am Sunday morning and I wasn't able to sleep until 10 pm Sunday night. I feel your pain.

 

[DMGeurts]

Here are a few of the outfits for our upcoming trip. We are leaving on Saturday the 10th. If anyone sees us, I'd be thrilled if you said hello.

I credit all of you here for teaching me to sew. Thank you so much for all of the tips and inspiration. I don't post often, but read as much as I can.

for the Animal Kingdom...she was mad because she said it's cold here.

Rapunzel...

Dawn

Oooh - these are just adorable!! I just love them all - but that Belle is just amazing!

I love these.

Funny story on the trip. We were riding from Kidani to Epcot for our princess dinner and a family on the bus fell in love with Cs outfit. Even asked if I would of been interested in making sets for their 3 girls but that outfit took me over 10 hours of sewing the appliques. I couldn't even think of the right price to ask. But I was flattered with the attention from this family.

I saw a few girls in pillowcase dress but nothing else.

I think for the December trip I am going to attempt a rosetta bag for me. Also Miss C decided to reuse the skirts and I will just redo some shirts so she can layer.

So our next trip is 110 days now to decide what to do for the boy LOL.

Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts they are appreciated

How awesome that someone loved your outfits enough to approach you and want you to make them some. Cool.

I am still so very sorry about your nephew - that is just so sad.

Disboutique Runway

Challenge 6

This will be the final Disboutique Runway challenge. So if you want to join, now is your chance! I am going to extend the deadline for this project to give everyone a chance to work on it!

This week's theme: Your favorite Disney character/movie.

Rules:
1. Must be made during the challenge period. (Can't be something you have made before)
2. Must be made from a pattern/tutorial that you have never used before, or make your own.
3. You must modify some portion of the pattern/tutorial to make it your own. (ie: change type of strap, modify length, modify hem line, add buttons, add zipper....)
4. Include the pattern that used (or let us know you made your own) and the modifications that you used with the submission photos.


Deadline for entry... Monday, Sept 19 at midnight EST. That will give you two weeks.

This is the final challenge...so I wanted it to be challenging! Happy sewing everyone!!!

Sounds like fun - but I am not sure I will be participating?

Awesome dress! I have been following your ptr, just havent had time to comment yet. I know you can do it. I paid for our upcoming trip using money I earned selling on ebay and amazon (of course not things I had to make) and saving any money I had saved in coupons while grocery shopping. Took me 2 years, but I know you can and will do it. Now, stop reading this and get back to that sewing machine!

THank you - glad you made it over. That is awesome that you paid for your trip with extra $$. I am such a firm believer that vacations should be paid with cash - it's no fun coming home to tons of bills. Although, I know that some things can't be avoided, like the hold on your cc for hotels (does Disney do that?)

LOL - I see I am going to need lots of reminding to get back to my sewing room - I find myself on The Dis more often than I care to admit.

I made this dress using 9902.. I was very happy with it.

This is adorable!

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome back! I am still not quite 100% yet but I am thankful for being able to take time off work to recover and go on the trip.

It looks like you had an amazing trip! I just love all your cute customs... I expecially love your Minnie ear hat! I hope you'll tell us how you made that!

So, I have to take DH to the Dr. today - he hurt his back reaching for something yesterday. I also have to take my new car in for a block heater (it was part of our purchase agreement), so while I have the dealership's loaner car, I wll take DH to the Dr. Which means, not a lot of sewing today.

I did finish up outfit #50 last night, so I can get started on outfit #49 today. However, here's #51 (for those of you not following my PTR - I really apologize that you have to see these twice, and eventually 3 times because of FB).

Hey girls we are back. Lots of comments in the parks from CM and on the cruise.

We had a blast but came home to bad news. My 13 yearold nephew who had a near drowning at 2 passed this afternoon not what you want to come home too.

I am waiting to hear more. Now to go and catch up.

So very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.

Thank you. It is the 4 by 6. I'm embarassed to admit I've never used my 6 by 10 hoop. I think it's really hard to use. I do all of my sewing on a brother 270D and had major hoop envy. I talked my dh into buying me another machine and I was insistent on getting a 6 by 10. Thank goodness we got it on ebay so we didn't pay a scandalous amount for it (it's a brother ULT2001), but I'm still embarassed I haven't used what I begged for.

Thanks. I'm always flattered when people want me to make stuff for them, but I don't do it that often. I only do it for free and out of love. If I started selling, I'm afraid it would start to seem like just more work.

It's the Simplicity 3943 and I'm sure I bought it for 1 dollar. It isn't specifically Belle, I did a cross between view H and view A, but not much frankenpatterning because of the way it is printed. I bought a hoop off of ebay (I read that suggestion on here by mom2rtk) and didn't make the skirt layer with the tulle attached.

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

Dawn

I think we'll be at The World the same time you are... we leave on the 11th, so I'll be looking for ya.

Hope everyone had a great labor day weekend...We went to a friend's lake house so I'm super far behind. My little one is still asleep (I'm enjoying the quiet while I can)...off to catch up.

 

[aboveH20]

I think there were some outfits and situations I meant to comment on, but this is the only post I remember.

I get distracted easily. Especially when there's .

I'll come back later and reread and see if I can find what I had planned to comment on.

 

[cogero]

These look terrific! Did you sew the zebra pettiskirt too? I've never done one of them. Are they hard?


That's funny because I started out with a Brother 270D and I had major hoop envy. I also insisted that I HAD TO HAVE the 6x10 hoop. I bought my Babylock Ellageo 3 off of ebay and I believe that it is the first cousin to your Brother Ult2001. I also have hardly used that 6x10 hoop. I think it is hard to get on and off the machine and hard to get things in the hoop correctly. Maybe on the newer machines, like the Ellegante or the 6000D it is easier to hoop things correctly. When I was at the Brother store several months ago they were showing me how they had changed the design on the larger hoop to make it easier to use. Later this month I am going to the Sewing Expo and I am hoping to take a closer look at the newer machines. Not that we can afford one right now, but is fun to look and to dream.

I have only used my 6 x 10 hoop 3 times since I bought the new machine LOL

Oh how sweet of you to comment on MY post It was because I used a unique smilie, wasn't it?

Oops -- forget to take pics of the kids this morning in their BTS outfits Hopefully they stay clean and non-sweaty so I can get pics this afternoon.

update on Brendi...
back from doctors,ultrasound showed no change in cyst /endometriosis ,will schedule surgery for that in the near future. hgc levels down to less than 400 so her body is taking care of it itself...so sad no sweet lil baby at this time. doctor said to wait till after surgery to try again because it could be the same thing again. he said he thought the endometriosis had stopped the baby from moving into the uterus. i am so sad for my baby and her baby but so blessed that she is not in danger and her body is taking care of things and she will not have to have the pregnancy removed.
she goes back to the doctor for another check next week and then will be able to return to work when the pain goes away...doctor says that the pain is from the /baby/endometriosis/cyst all together.
Brendi putting on a strong front but i know when she is alone with David she will let it all out....thank you for your prayers for my sweet girl and her Husband...

Well I know why I couldn't sleep because I think I was so worried about DS going to Kindergarten. He shocked me by being so excited this morning and happily waved on the bus. Well I went to the school to see him get off and my DD comes up to me and says Jacob has been crying the whole time on the bus

I knew his excitment was too good to be true but he did put on a brave face and followed his teacher. When he got home he told me he was better. So we will have to wait to see how it goes tomorrow.

update on Brendi...
back from doctors,ultrasound showed no change in cyst /endometriosis ,will schedule surgery for that in the near future. hgc levels down to less than 400 so her body is taking care of it itself...so sad no sweet lil baby at this time. doctor said to wait till after surgery to try again because it could be the same thing again. he said he thought the endometriosis had stopped the baby from moving into the uterus. i am so sad for my baby and her baby but so blessed that she is not in danger and her body is taking care of things and she will not have to have the pregnancy removed.
she goes back to the doctor for another check next week and then will be able to return to work when the pain goes away...doctor says that the pain is from the /baby/endometriosis/cyst all together.
Brendi putting on a strong front but i know when she is alone with David she will let it all out....thank you for your prayers for my sweet girl and her Husband...

Well I know why I couldn't sleep because I think I was so worried about DS going to Kindergarten. He shocked me by being so excited this morning and happily waved on the bus. Well I went to the school to see him get off and my DD comes up to me and says Jacob has been crying the whole time on the bus

I knew his excitment was too good to be true but he did put on a brave face and followed his teacher. When he got home he told me he was better. So we will have to wait to see how it goes tomorrow.

So many things I should have commented on in addition to this, but I'm trying to get some sewing done -- imagine that!

My heart goes out to you and your son. How precious that he waved but then cried on the bus. Hope tomorrow does go better.

I finished more pillowcases for Give Kids the World.

"We" have so many new people all the time, let me just say that GKTW is where many of the Make a Wish families stay when they go to Disney World. Each of the childen gets a small pillow while they are there and some of us have been making the pillowcases.

A yard of flannel and 1/3 yard of novetly fabric makes four pillowcases (so in the photo there are four each of 10 different patterns). If anyone is interested in learning more about sewing the pillowcases there's a whole section on the Big Give board. GKTW gives out over 20,000 pillows a year so they've been appreciative of what we send.

I am relieved for your daughter that she is not in danger and that her body is taking care of things itself. Sad that she has to go through this and also put up with all the physical pain. I hope things start to improve very soon.


I got a sad call tonight from a friend. She called to tell me that she has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. She wants to get together later this week because she has lots of questions she wants to ask me. This follows right behind the news that another friend is going in for a biopsy next week to find out if a suspicious spot is anything. I am going to be praying hard for these two friends in the coming weeks.
