Disboutiquers Part 30 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[ValarDisneyus]

I was so excited about Disney Floral & Gifts "proclaim her a princess" program; they're going to do in-park delivery of a "Royal Decree", tiara, and Princess sash, and the kiddos get to have all the princesses sign their decree. It was supposed to open up availability on May 15, but it's been pushed out to July release.

Now I want a Princess Sash for my Squeaker. Anyone know if I should get a pattern or just buy a sash? Thoughts?

If you want to do a simple sash, you can just use 1/4 yard of full width fabric of your choice, fold it in half with the right sides of the long edges together. Stitch along the long edge, turn the tube inside out and iron it. If you didn't cut of the selvage of the fabric, the tube won't fray and you can either stitch the sash at the appropriate length and leaving the "tail", or just use a safety pin to pin at the right length. If you want a full loop, I would suggest something similar but use the same technique that is used to make scrunchies. There is a great tutorial here: http://www.canadianliving.com/crafts/sewing/diy_hair_scrunchie.php

Can you tell me more about this?

Thanks so much! I hope I can find a way for it to say "Princess." I don't have an embroidery machine.

You could hand stitch the letters on, or buy a fabric marker and stencil them on.

You can print out the word "Princess" onto iron-on printable fabric in the color and font of your choice (you can design it in word like any other doc). It is sold in sheets in Jo-Anns and craft stores, you can probably find it online too. I suggest getting the Iron-on fabric, NOT paper. The fabric holds up better in the wash (my paper iron-ons all pealed off after a few washes).

Or you can make your own applique using fabric and WonderUnder.

Great suggestions by others! Another idea is to do a crown as applique (shouldn't be too hard to do), or use a crown patch from the fabric store.

My girls, 10 & 12, want to get autographs of the characters that we meet, but they won't want to do a book. The girls are saving "special" t-shirts to make a quilt when they are older. We came up with the idea to create a quilt block for the Disney Autographs. Until we make the quilts, we will probably frame the block to keep it in good shape. I have seen people do pillowcases and use fabric markers for the autographs. Which fabric markers work best?

I made a quilt using autographs a few years ago. I didn't use fabric marker as I digitized the signatures we collected and stitched them onto the blocks. I think any fabric marker should do - as long as you iron them after to heat set the ink. Here's a picture of my quilt to get your creative juices going:

Hi all, it's been a while since our last trip and my last Disney sewing endeavor. I found this on pinterest and LOVED it! Do you know who made it here?

Invested in a Baby Lock Esante yesterday. So for all my embroidery Momma's out there, where are some of the best sites for Disney appliqués. I know about Frou Frou by HeatherSue. What are some others?

I don't know who made the dress but it looks like a modified Simply Sweet dress.

Congrats on your new embroidery machine. I also like MissKenzieMac and Cute by Kira for embroidery files.

Wow, this thread sure has gotten quiet since I've been here last. I had to flip through pages and pages to find y'all!

I doubt anyone remembers me, it has been that long since I've been around. I did the unthinkable last year - a whole year without a Disney trip! - and since I went back to school I have been neglecting my sewing machine rather shamefully. But we're booked for a short WDW trip in June so I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. I'm only doing outfits for 3 days of 5, and I'm not sure my 13yo will be on board with matching her sister one last time, but I'm going to give it a try!

Has anyone done a Simply Sweet tricked out to Anna or Elsa yet and have a link to share? That's high on my list of projects because we booked the Frozen premium package for our Studios day. I've done a couple of the princessified Simply Sweets before and just love the pattern because it isn't too heavy, hot, or fussy.

The other outfit I'm pretty sure I'm doing is Alice and the Queen of Hearts, again using the Simply Sweet as a base. My older daughter shows her rabbit at the county fair and one of the "fun" categories of competition is costumes. Since her rabbit is white, she's already asked for an Alice dress (and a vest & coat for the bunny!) for that so I'm pretty sure she'd be willing to wear it at WDW too.

And the third thing on my list, another thing I am hoping to find inspiration for somewhere in this thread - some sort of cover/liner for our Magic Bands. I've only been on one trip since they were rolled out and I remember it getting a little sticky/sweaty underneath. And that was in December. I'm pretty sure in June we'll all want something soft between our skin and that rubber bracelet.

So that's what I'm up to at the moment. I'd love it if one of you ladies could point me towards some inspiration or ideas on how to make it all happen!

I'm in the same boat! We skipped a year of Disney, so it's been a while for me making outfits. I also have a 12 year old daughter that I'm trying to "match" with younger siblings!
Day 1: Youngest daughter is going to have a Rapunzel short and top set with from the simply sweet base. 12 year old has asked if she could have a short lt blue tutu with white bow and a little darker blue tank with silver silhouette of Cinderella on it. So they'll both be a little "princessy". Now for son - last time I made him a john john that looked like prince charming. Will probably try that again for him to complete the princess theme? Not too much inspiration for him yet!

Day 2: Mickey day. I have a Simply Sweet swing top that's red with white dots and a Mickey head embroidered on for little bit. Will probably go tried and true john john for little guy that is 1/2 black and 1/2 red with yellow buttons like the mouse himself. For 12 year old...not so sure!

Have a few other random ideas as well....now to get busy!

OMG. how did i not know this thread exist? I basically started sewing because i wanted insanely cute things to wear to disney. We leave 5/24 and i haven't sewn anything yet! So happy to find you ladies

Hi Colleen27, I remember you!

Here is a photo of an Elsa dress I made for a birthday gift for a little girl that goes to my daycare. I made the cape separate (I dislike any kind of lacy or sheer material for kids, always seems to get wrecked). It's attached to the straps at the back with Velcro. I made the dress simple as she loves dressing up and without the cape, it can be Cinderella.

I've lurked here for a while, but wanted to pop in and share what I've been up to lately. I've been loving looking at the things y'all have created.

We're planning DD's first trip for this December, and she simply must have costumes! I was aiming for one a day, but I don't think I'm going to have time to finish 11. LOL.

I've managed so far to sew an Elsa, a belle, and am almost done with a Cinderella-inspired dress.




I'm really liking the "inspired by" dress and want to do a Snow White one, but haven't found a pattern I really like for it.

She has a purchased ariel, rapunzel, and Anna. Six down and five to go. Lol.

I remember you Colleen! I made a magic band cover for our last trip (Dec 2013). I just made a simple fabric tube with a hole for the "Mickey" part of the band. I used satin stitch around the hole so it won't fray. Here's a picture of me wearing one on my right wrist:

Great job on the dress! They look great! This is a Rapunzel inspired dress I did for one of the Give Families a while back:

Here are a few things I made for DS recently:
