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

JennysSeven · May 21, 2015

I'm so glad I found this board! Now that we have our vacation booked, I need to start planning out cute tee shirts/outfits, etc. I want to do embroidered tees for as many of my kids as I can talk into wearing them, and one or 2 princess dresses for my DD. She has specifically requested Elsa. Anybody have a favorite pattern? I made her a Sofia the First dress without a pattern 2 Christmases ago, and swore off ever attempting such lunacy again, lol. So I need a good pattern I can either follow exactly or modify.

I haven't looked through this whole thread, but from the few pages I've seen... y'all make some CUTE stuff!!!!

The simplicity Elsa works just fine, and is very easy to put together. Watch the circulars for Hancock's and hobby lobby, etc, for when they go on sale for <$2. You can save tons of time, too, by using a pre-printed snowflake fabric for the sheer cape, rather than doing the appliqué.

This is such a cool board! We are headed down next weekend and it will be my 10m old DD's first trip!

Here are two outfits I made for her!

This one to meet Mickey!

This one for SWW!

The shirts were made with heat transfer vinyl using my cricut and the shorts were made with the Coachella pattern by Striped Swallow Designs

There is also the Create Kids Couture's everyday princess pattern. I haven't used it but I have heard good things about CKC's patterns.

Looking for advice... I'm making my daughter a "Jessie" themed shirt and want to make the red rope detail on the front... I do not have an embroidery machine (which I'm sure would provide the best result...). Any suggestions on a different method? Thanks!

Maybe try sewing on a fine red rope or gimp, by hand? Or even rattail cording?

Do you think sew it on with a whip stitch?

I don't see why not. I'm lazy and hate handwork, though, so if I could figure out a way to zig-zag it on the machine, I would. LOL.

These posts amaze me- you are all wonderful! Sadly, this is not a skill I possess but will admire from afar.

A lot of people like the Simply Sweet pattern. I made my own version as I didn't want to spend $10 on a pattern that I need to print out. I found it very easy to make and you can make little changes and it looks like a different dress. She also showed how to change the pattern into different princesses on her blog.

A number of us said the very same things when we started to discover (or rediscover) sewing. You never know what you could do when you give it a try!

Great job on all the dresses! I am sure your princess will enjoy wearing those dresses!

I recently used cording for a Jessie dress for DD6. I sewed it on with a wide but narrow zigzag stitch, but first drew on the design with chalk which helped tremendously. Oh, and I had to go really, really slow as it curved.

ditto on the Simplicity pattern! My mom made DD a gorgeous Elsa costume for Halloween and it fits beautifully! Here's a shot complete with a wig (ha ha) and tee underneath.

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?

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/282952789063942518/

Someone posted the link to the tutorial late last year maybe? I remember looking it up because it is adorable a DD loves Snow White, but the pattern only goes up to size 6 and she is now in a 7/8. I think it is sold on Etsy and I had it bookmarked there for a while too.

I love the clothes everyone has made! They look adorable. I went to the fabric store to find a simple pattern to make a couple of dresses but couldn't find anything for size 10/12. My daughter just turned 8 but she needs about a 10. Bt she doesn't want a tween type style!
I might adapt the anna dress I posted before but it was more complicated than I hoped for. Also I'd prefer sleeves for the sun protection has anyone ever made one of those t shirt dresses where you sew a skirt to a Premade shirt? Wondering if it is a good way to make an easier dress?

I wish I could just buy some cute ones on etsy! Bu I have to keep hem under $20.

I've made several of the Tshirt dresses and they are very simple to do - gather your fabric and sew it on, hide the seam with a ribbon if you like. I've used tulle for the skirt and put a cheap lining behind it. Dd loves them, and I make them long enough to last her a long time - they start off as princess gowns and end up as knee-length summer dresses. Lol.

I have a daughter in size 10/12 too, look for a peasant dress pattern. I got mine on youcanmakethis, I believe it was called the Molly or the Megan (one was adult size for me

the other was tween sizing). They are super easy to adapt to whatever you want and have directions to have the dress whatever length you want and you can adjust sleeve length as well
