*CLOSED*MOVED*Disboutiquers Part 11 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes we sew

[aimeeg]

I don't think I realized that Brett would not wear disney even at disney! Doesn't he ever see the cute family pictures of everyone matching? Will he do matching solid polo shirts? or atleast t's?
[/COLOR]

Nope! I need to show him pics of Lin. I bought him some solid Polo shirts this weekend. JC Penny's had a really good sale. He likes their Dockers so I picked up some shirts too. I bought him a pink Polo shirt that he HAS to wear of Han's birthday. I also bought some solid tee shirts. Mickey and friends might magically appear on those. LOL

All you gotta do is get the kids to ask him. You know he'll wear whatever they want him to!

I don't know how to multi-quote but thank you for all the nice comments about the dress.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Mine do this sometimes too. It does stink when it happens.

Sorry, no real advice, just wanted to say, been there, done that, still do it!

Thanks for saying that Jessica. I think your work is amazing and yet you are so humble. I am going to go do my shirt now and I promise pictures of the 3 complete pirate outfits tonight. Bad eyes and all.

Here is a dress I made for my niece with a reversible head band.

I have shorts cut out of the blue for my nephew and now I need to find a white shirt to match and I may applique a patch of the pooh material on it.

Do you think the bucket hat of these 2 materials is too girlie for a 2 yr old boy???

LOVE the dress!
I have some of that pooh fabric and was thinking this weekend that it would be cute with the round neck pattern
It's great, I hope you don't mind if I copy you

Here are my DD's outfits. Her fav is the AK outfit and the Monsters Inc. I was pretty proud of myself for getting all of these outfits and shirts done in 2 weeks time!

Up first a Tink outfit(my first Simply Sweet and I love this pattern now!) probably for the same day the boys wear Nemo, Epcot(totally CASED Snubie's, Thanks!) and a MK shirt.

I love this mickey shirt made from a valance that I got from goodwill for 50 cents! That shirt is for MK and then her AK dress and a Minnie shirt.

And up last her DHS shirts. Not thrilled with her toy story outfit but oh well it is done!

Great T's and dresses!
Wow, you have been busy!

Hello everyone...I have a quick Q...we will be going to WDW in the middle of May, and I have a Minnie and Sleeping Beauty costume for my DD/3 and I have been looking for a Mickey and Prince Philip costume for my DS (will be 12mth at time of travel)...and have had no luck. Is there anyone here that could possibly help me out. I would gladly provide a "donation" to anyone willing to put these together for me.
PM if you can help. TIA

Oh yeah, love the rule about dancing bananas so...

No help on the costumes really. Although i could think up a few quick ideas but I love that you actually read about the dancing bananas!

My favorites are by the old door! They are all so cute!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

2 Weeks and counting down.

I do have outfits finished but I want to post pictures of us wearing them. I am ready to give up on that idea.

Here is the matching yet different pirate outfits. I don't have a cheap gold hoop earring but plan to buy it and put it in the ear. So here is a dress earrring instead.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Hunter lost his first tooth last evening. He wanted me to tye a string and then attach it to the cat I had the cat held down and it got away so I just ended up using my fingers.

The tooth fairy came and left him 1 of every coin and $1. The tooth right next to it is going to be out before we leave.

I only wish I had some Disney dollars to give him.

Here is what it looks like on the bottom of the fabric:

WHat I have noticed it is doing is pulling more thread into the bobbin area, almost like it is getting stuck, so I took that part apart, pulled out the bobbin case/house whatever it is called and put it all back together, but it kept doing it. I think I am going to get machine oil and putting it on the hook and the bottom where the manual suggests you do. But any other feed back would be helpful, I have threaded and re-threaded a zillion times. . . Thanks so much!

I'm no help. My solution would involve the purchase of a new machine, and the throwing out the window of the old.

Those pictures are FABULOUS! I LOVE the one of the two of them kissing!

 

[luv2go2disney]

Thank YOU for saying thank you! Your appliques look terrific!! I love all the matching outfits. It's so much fun to match every day!
Wow, I can't believe you sewed up all that stuff so quickly! It all looks so pretty! You only paid 50 cents for that wonderful fabric valance?? Wow!!! That's a GREAT deal! I think my favorite is the Monsters Inc dress. Where did you get that fabric?

I got the white Monsters Fabric on Ebay and the purpleish Monsters from Hancock about 2 years ago. Thanks for all the compliments!

Look on my pre trip report link in my signature and see what I look like. I also posted a picture of two of the outfits I made Grace. Look at the picture I posted of my lime green bag I will be carrying. You won't be able to miss the bag if you see me. It is so bright. Say hi if you see me. I will do the same if I see any little girl wearing the dresses you made.

OHHH I remember the green bag. Hopefully we will see each other in a few days! Have a safe trip.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

This is the dress I designed and could not get the bodice to fit correctly. After many frustrated days, I did get it the way I like it. I love batik but it does wrinkle badly. I am sure happy they will have irons. I have also washed it a few times so it doesn't bleed when wearing it.

Skort showing short part

Back with shirring

 

[MinnieVanMom]

This is for Epcot as we have ADR's at Teppan Edo's for dinner. Please, any suggestions on what to do with the shirt? I am sure to put another shirt under it as the V is deep.

I did finish Hunter's shirt for Nemo but asked Mom to pick me up a matching T-shirt. The one I had is the one in with the batik and it looked faded. Tomorrow I will have the T and the applique is ready to go on.

I do have another pirate outfit but I still have the applique skull and crossbones to do. Thanks Crystal for the great graphic!

I thought to make Darth and Star wars helmets on shirts but now Hunter is changing his mind so much that I don't know what to make for DHS. Once again, suggestions?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Tired of my posts yet? I am starting to get tired.
Here is the AK outfits that went bad...very bad. I ran out of fabric, could not buy anymore, had to split the skirt into a panel skirt instead of regular, then the black fabric doesn't match and finally, Hunter's mickey head looks like it got ran over in a stampeed!

I am thinking of taking out the head and putting a regular white mickey head with a hat, would that be a good fix?

Ok, no more outfits, well I have 1 more pirate set to finish but I won't post again till tomorrow.

Well we are less than 24 hours from being at WDW. I am getting ready to pack but know better than to pack without showing pictures! I attempted my first appliques(just the simple mickey heads) but I want to thank Heather for her great tutorial!!!! It is amazing at how much better my appliques got by the time I was done! Practice does make perfect! Ok here we go her are the boys shirts and a few for me and my DH. I am sure he will love to find out that these have been packed for him!

Epcot shirts

DHS shirts

AK shirts

MK shirts

Nemo shirts prob for Epcot

and the last shirts for the boys...a monsters inc shirt for my older son and I have to try to find a green shirt for my little guy today or a suitable alternative at this point. Also a jacket for my little guy.

Sorry the pics are huge I don't have time to go thru and resize all of them! Up next my DD's outfits

Here are my DD's outfits. Her fav is the AK outfit and the Monsters Inc. I was pretty proud of myself for getting all of these outfits and shirts done in 2 weeks time!

And up last her DHS shirts. Not thrilled with her toy story outfit but oh well it is done!

I love everything you have made. The toy story dress is adorable. Have fun on your trip.

I have been lurking for awhile. Getting ideas for my mom who will be making some customs for our trip in May. Beautiful things. I also joined the Big Give website. Am not to crafty but can buy Pixie Dust like the best of them. Had to come out of lurkdom to tell Heather and Teresa how much I love ur trip reports.Just awesome!! We are going about the same time this year. And I have one that is about to turn 5. Heather, I have an issue with APA during pg. Has on Heparin for 16 weeks with my younger one. I really hope that my girls will be as close as you 2 are when they are older. Back to reading!!

LOL, I get those feelings about babies in general sometimes. Luckily I have a 4 month old nephew that I watch once a week that is just enough of a 'fix' to satisfy me.



I decided to do the characters pulling faces after trying to get some photos of Zoe and some friends. It seemed at least one kid in each photo was being silly.

It's OK to not like owls... or something I've made. I had a collection of owl stuff when I was in my 'tweens' so couldn't resist the owl fabric when I was it. I don't really understand why they are so popular right now nor when I collected them. (My mom made me a top with fabric that had owls on it with a dark purple background - my favorite color with my favorite animal.)



That is cute fabric! I look forward to seeing what you make with it.



Which HMS do you need? I did this for Zoe for Halloween based on the HMS 3 cheerleader outfits.

Here's the drawing I did for it:

I hated to do button holes but in November/December I probably did a couple hundred for items on Etsy and now I'm so much more confident. I think you should just sit down some time when you have half an hour or so and make as many as you can. Honestly, I would panic in the past when I had to do one and now it's just part of the routine. I've even learned how to sew on buttons with my machine! Gotta love THAT.



Of the ones for the silly faces set, Goofy is the only one that came directly from clip art (disneyclips.com I think). The others I drew myself although I did use images of the characters as a starting point.



I usually search on quiltshops.com and check prices of all the shops that have the print I want. Don't forget to factor in the cost of shipping. Sometimes paying a little more per yard it a better deal if you can get all the prints you want from one shop and save on shipping.

I agree with Shannon about the fabric co-ops. Some are very well organized and run smoothly but even the best organized seems to take so long to get the orders gathered, placed and then shipped to the members. When I decide I want fabric, I don't want wait more than a few days for it to arrive. Also I can often find the same prints on quiltshops.com for close to the same price as a co-op (or even less) with a smaller minimum yardage and no waiting.

don't think this is what you need, but I made this for my DD for our trip last November.

I just made a simple "E" without the claw. and then a striped skirt.

Aren't you the busy little bee! All of your outfits look fantastic, great job!

Love everything posted !
I have been sewing like a crazy woman trying to get Camden's B-day outfit all finished for today for His 6th Birthday
Here is his finished Monster Trucks (as he requested)

I think he loves It...

His Pants with his Faux pocket with his name on it (as he requested )

and a close up of his Monster Truck(This was a challenge for me )

I will be back on later to catch up i am exhausted i am gonna jump back into bed for a bit....

Cute birthday outfit! No wonder he loves it!

No help, but what a mess! I know this has happened to me before but I couldn't tell you what I did to fix it. Sorry!

Guess What?????

I tried on a Mickey Cutie tee shirt that I bought at the Disney Store last year. It is 10 pounds away from fitting or 40 sticks of butter. Anyway . . . Brett said, I like that I would wear it. I cracked up because - 1. It was a girls shirt and 2. He has veheminantly stated he will not wear Disney shirts even at WDW.

I should do the treasured pictures angle. That might work!

My DH won't wear clothes I make either. But now that I am thinking about it, maybe next time we go I'll try and throw in some appliqued T's and Polos. I really do like the coordinated picture look!

I am so sorry! That sucks!!! I would check the tension disks as well. Honestly it might be an issue with your bobbin case. I had a similar issue and took my machine in. Turned out it was nothing with the tension but all with the bobbin case. He told me to make sure to keep the lint clean and have my machine in for cleaning/service on a regular basis.

What do they mean by a "regular basis"? I haven't had my machine cleaned ever and I'm not sure how frequently they should be cleaned. The one I have right now is a year old - are they like teeth and need to be cleaned twice a year???

2 Weeks and counting down.

I do have outfits finished but I want to post pictures of us wearing them. I am ready to give up on that idea.

Here is the matching yet different pirate outfits. I don't have a cheap gold hoop earring but plan to buy it and put it in the ear. So here is a dress earrring instead.

All of your outfits are so cute but I love the pirate ones the best! Great job!

My oldest is dying to have her tooth fall out! Congratulations to Hunter!
