Disboutiquers Part 12 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[jeniamt]

You should use a ball point needle when appliqueing on T shirts! On cotton use whatever you would like!

Thanks for the tip, I haven't tried appliqueing on a t-shirt yet but I did just buy a bunch from Walmart.

I love rhinestone or hot-fix transfers.... I have a number of them that I have used for both DD and myself. I have put them on shirts as gifts for my nieces and they love them!
Most of them hold up well, especially if you wash with cold water and don't dry them. I've pick up several from - one of the sellers has a nice selection of Disney themed motifs.

Ok, more hotfix/rhinestone/rhinestud stuff...
I have tried a bunch of these and will say that some are really bad as far as the glue goes... they seem to never stick or will fall off with just a brush of the hand. But most that I have used work well.....some examples from my and dd's closet... mostly mine actually Sorry pics are blurry... used my phone again

This one is DDs, the heart was originally a circle, but I slowly moved the pieces to form a heart which matches some capris she has from Old Navy.... moved pieces while it was still in the plastic, before putting it to fabric.

I have had this one a year now and its still in great shape.

My current fav.... Got this guy last spring off . He is soo cute and gets tons of compliments. He was more expensive, but is holding up wonderfully.

Lastly.....Minnie.......

I think this one was my first large one.....I LOVED IT!
I have had it almost two years now and you can see she is showing her age.... lots of missing pieces.... but until it accidentally found its way into the dryer (twice) it was in much better shape. But I got 2 summers and 1 trip out of it before it found the dryer...so I am pleased. And I see this one come up on often enough that I might try again someday.

This is just meant as a little encouragement if you are thinking of trying it.
I had a sliver daisy that seemed to leap off the fabric... no amount of heat or patience would make that flower stay.... but of the dozen we currently have I think that is the only one I have had that trouble with.

Good luck if you try it. I liked it enough to buy a few of the tools to do my own.... but so far haven't gotten any further than that.... its to easy to buy finished motifs
Ok, I am done (sorry, couldn't help myself, I love these things).... thanks for humoring me.

OOh thanks for all the photos and encouragement. I'm going to me PM you if you don't mind!

I love everything!!! Sorry, I didn't take the time to multiquote, but I had A LOT of pages to catch up on.

Ok, here was my very first sewing project:

!

Great work for first timer! I could just eat your little girl up!

I am going to make a corset top for D5 but I have never even attempted shirring. So off to Joanns I went in search of elastic thread. I had my husband with me...OMG, did I just say my husband went into Joannns??? That is a first!!! He helped me find it on the notions wall. So tonight I went to work!! This is it, my very first attempt and I did it!! I will have to finish the top tomorrow. It's off to bed now. I was just so proud. and to all of you who are too afraid to attempt it, (Wendy ) Please do it! It's a blast and not as hard as it looks!

I know it's not perfect but it was a first for me!

(It is solid black. It's kinda distorted in the picture. I think because of the flash.)

Looks awesome! So how did you do this? I just bought some thread but haven't tried it yet. Did you hand wind the bobbin? Did you need a special needle?

Im in pain tonight from sitting in the drivers seat all afternoon. Baby is wiggly and kicking ALL the time now which is fun.
We are discussing name options in our household- anyone care to offer suggestions?

DH likes Kaelyn (but we were going to do this last time and went with Megan instead- I feel like they sound too similar)
He also likes Kathryn (WHO spells it that way!)
I like Elizabeth, but he doesnt.
he likes Rachel.
I like Anna.
maybe Kaitlyn- but its very popular.
I love old names, he doesnt
he doesnt like names with too many syllables (I think he prefers 2, maybe 3)

Since I just went through the name choosing I'll throw out a couple (I love old fashioned names as well - My two DDs are Gillian and Evelyn). I love Annabelle, Claire, Penelope (Penny), Rosalyn... I could go on and on. Have fun choosing!

ERRRRRRRRRRRRR I lost my multi quote!!! So frustrating!!

Thank you all so much. It was a tough sewing week. Nothing seemed to go my way. You all are being so sweet because I can see ever place my thread broke on my appliques.

Leslie- I cannot wait to see what you do with the Capt Jack for the big give. When we get home I am going to redo Han's tank. She really really likes it but the mistakes are driving me crazy! Seriously what is wrong with me.

Piping- I adore piping. I do have a piping foot. I find it essential. It is pretty easy to put on piping. I can take pictures the next time I sew on piping which should be tomorrow. There are a couple of little tricks.

GREAT IDEA LESLIE!!!

I started sewing in June of 2007. So that makes me around 20 months. OMG my old stuff is horrible. I pulled out a bunch of stuff that I made last Christmas and thought I can believe I put this on my kids! Oh well- I was proud and the loved it.

This is my first custom- My DD was three and she wore this to her baby sisters first bday.

Your stuff is fantastic! Even your first dress was awesome. I love the ball fringe on the bottem of the tink dress. I'm going to have to CASE that dress, if you don't mind of course.

 

[aimeeg]

Go right ahead! I got the fringe at the Super Jo Ann's in Columbia. They still have the little ball fringe. I glued that on by the way! LOL

How is the baby doing? Is he sleeping well at night yet?

Ooh thanks. I just bought a bunch of pink and green fabric too! Baby is doing great. Not sleeping through the night but it isn't bad. I stay up late (on these boards!) so I can feed him one last time and get to bed around 1am. I'm pretty good at nursing while reading the boards so its really not so bad. He wakes me up around 5am to eat but we go back to bed until almost 8 when I have to get up to get the older kids ready for school. He stays asleep until around 9am. Thanks for asking!

 

[PrincessKell]

this was my first

Everyones stuff is so great. I love how most of you were great from the start. I am still trying to figure things out!

 

[teresajoy]

Here are a few pics from our Feb trip.
And my kids and I at AK wearing our matching black Mickey shirts. Our whole group wore them that day.

I love all the outfits and these shirts are GREAT!

TeresaJoy - I do not actually "know" Heather - but I have e-mailed back and forth with her quite a few times. It originally started after I saw her Tessa in the pink Cinderella dress. Anyways, she has continually encouraged me to actually post... and then I PMed her while she was at this last Dismeet and she told me I really needed to post on the board and I finally did So thanks Heather

Oh, I remember she mentioned you!

Okay, I have been lurking here for months. I am not creative nor "artisy" and even though my mom can sew anything in the world I never took the time to learn when she wanted to teach me. Therefore, the hardest thing I have ever made is curtains. But....you gals inspired me so.....I present my first ever outfit...(sorry it's blurry, she was so happy to pose that she WOULD NOT stand still).

That is wonderful! And I like your report on how you did it!!!

Auntie surprised her with a matching dress for her doll.

WOW!! That is just something!!! WOW!! How amazing is she!!??

Long time lurker. I LOVE everyone's designs. Is there a list of everyone's ebay or etsy id's?
Kas

Please read the first post.

Holy cow, just when I thought I was making progress on the last thread...

You all are so talented, and such an inspiration! Wow, there are a lot of plans to be made between now & then!

What a cutie!!!

Piper -

I was thinking of getting some of the comic book things - they are way cheaper http://www.bcwsupplies.com/prod-BBSIL.htm

has anyone else used these?

I like them

Anywho.. just needed to vent a little. If anyone has any experience with this shot(Luprin I think?) let me know please. Kinda scares me, but at least it isn't as bad at having a hysterctomy!

Oh, I'm sorry.

I SHIRRED!!!!

(It is solid black. It's kinda distorted in the picture. I think because of the flash.)

You SHIR did!!! Very nice!! You did a great job! And bonus points for calling it shirring and not smocking!

So hear is one of DD outfits but I am thinking about putting buttons in the shape of a bow on top of the mickey embroidery and make it minnie? What do you think? The bottel cap is not attached yet and I picked up some of the mickey head buttons and might put that on instead I did not have a pattern for the top it was CASEd and the pants are Carlas easy fit.

That is really cute and your daughter is just adorable!

this was my first

Everyones stuff is so great. I love how most of you were great from the start. I am still trying to figure things out!

OH, little Georgia!! That outfit is so cute!

Hmm, I thought I had more first outfits quoted!!! I loved seeing all the pictures. I think I have my second outfit that I ever made in the basement. I'll try to find it and take a picture later. But for now, I'm off to bed!

 

[kimmylaj]

Okay, I left my house this afternoon to transport a dog all over creation to get him to a vet and come home to soooo many pages.

Im loving the "firsts" pics- but way more talented than my firsts! The baby in pink at her first birthday is adorable!!! Love that- sometimes I forget how much I like a solid colored fabric with some highlights.

I am also rethinking my fairy tale outfit, think I might make a pair of pants in just the polkadot fabric to go with the edging- I feel like the outfit looks "pajama-y" as it stands.

I tried to find a pic of my first outfit- it wasnt truely MY first since this older lady at the church I used to go to invited me to her house to teach me- but really she sewed a lot of it- just one of those people who has to do it for you, rather than let you try. So I did about 50% of it. It was a McCalls pattern if I remember correctly and the directions for the bodice were awful and the sizing was waaay off. I wanted it to fit her at 6 months, and it did- sort of. But it fit her much better when she was like 12 months LOL. I used snap tape and it continually came unsnapped- it was the first thing I posted here. I didnt do much else til I joined this thread a year ago.
The Feliz is the hardest thing I've done, but I can often work my way thru a commercial pattern now.
Carla's patterns have taught me a lot, but they spoil me too.

Im in pain tonight from sitting in the drivers seat all afternoon. Baby is wiggly and kicking ALL the time now which is fun.

one of my very best friends in kathryn spelled that way and she is awesome so that might be a good sign, my daughter is mimi well mia but we call her mimi but i wanted to name her lucy. as a preschool teacher i can say that we now have more kaelyn's than kaitlyns here in ny. not much help i know but it is fun to pick out names isnt it, and funny i agree with your hubby about short names i remember trying to learn to write kimberly and it seemed so hard so my kids got ryan and mia pretty easy i think. lol

That last pic of your DD cracks me up! So cute! Look at her pose!

This is my favorite recent custom.

I the Steamboat Mickey dress, it's so adorable, and the pink in the back is a nice surprise! Sometimes I wish I had a girl just so I could make things like that! (Then I tell my BFF that she needs to have a girl so I can spoil her!

I beka, those are some seriously cute babies!

Thank you!

Thought I'd share what I *do* make until Mom gets here & we can get some stuff made.
Baby Girl ornament (colors adjusted to match the nursery)

I call this one "Christmas Sky", reminds me of snow flurries & a starry sky. It's my favorite thus far.

I'm also working on ones for teams of the SEC (since my alma matter is part of the SEC, I have to start there!)

No, they're not on etsy yet. I'm trying to get a little inventory built up. I'm also involved in some Christmas decorating sites, and have promised a few of them as prizes for a contest. They're fun to make, but they take a long time!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Thank you!~That is very true! It is still pretty CCCOOOLLLDD up here so with some tights and leggings it's fine for now.

Okay, accomplishment time for me. I SHIRRED!!!!

I am going to make a corset top for D5 but I have never even attempted shirring. So off to Joanns I went in search of elastic thread. I had my husband with me...OMG, did I just say my husband went into Joannns??? That is a first!!! He helped me find it on the notions wall. So tonight I went to work!!

I know it's not perfect but it was a first for me!

(It is solid black. It's kinda distorted in the picture. I think because of the flash.)

WOW! That is great! Was is really not that hard? I want to try, but I am terrified! I think it looks perfect!

So hear is one of DD outfits but I am thinking about putting buttons in the shape of a bow on top of the mickey embroidery and make it minnie? What do you think? The bottel cap is not attached yet and I picked up some of the mickey head buttons and might put that on instead I did not have a pattern for the top it was CASEd and the pants are Carlas easy fit.

And then her are some resent pics of DD in her new pettie! Thank you eeyore3847!

What a cute outfit. I like the idea of the bow too. She looks so cute in her petti!

 

[minnie2]

Ok her are some of my first "customs" I made my DD
This is the first one I CASE off I was like shoot I can do that!

Then I saw the pants and top set I thought maybe it will look better this time.

And this I believe is the last thing I made for her till I meet you guys and decided I had to make her themed for WDW This was her 1st b-day and she is 2 and 4 months I think I have been slacking!

made the hat too! Ok thats my share still have lots more to do before we leave!

She is such a cutie!

Holy cow, just when I thought I was making progress on the last thread...

'K, so this August will be my 1st trip back in 13 years, and my son's 1st ever trip (he'll be 13months at the time!)

We gotta get this kid some cute outfits! Mom & I are planning on some seersucker jumper/overalls (whatever you want to call them) with embroidered or appliqued characters on them.

Here's the wearer of the clothes:

You all are so talented, and such an inspiration! Wow, there are a lot of plans to be made between now & then!

he is a cutie too! Oh and I love those ornaments you make very pretty.

I purchased the easy fit pants pattern finally with intentions to resize it for my DD9. The largest size on the pattern is a 10 and measurements are 29". My DD measures 33. What size do I up it to? I do have Carla C's resizing chart and it goes up to a 16. She usually wears a size 10 plus.

Ok here is my 2 cents but I am not sure it is really the right way to do it!

I would print out the size 10 pieces. measure the length you need the pants. then on a shower curtain liner (thanks Linnette) I would create the pattern but I would move the size 10 pattern away from the edge the number of in check bigger your dd is from the pattern. Keep in mind the pattern will be cut on the fold so if he is 2 inches bigger then the patter only move the print out 1 inch because you get an inch on each side of the fold.
Also I have found that these patterns hang low in the crotch probably to make room for a diaper for young ones and to fit the most body types in the older ones. So I have to take away 2 inches at the top but add them at the bottom in the legs. I do this when I make them for both my kids but when I make them for my niece and nephew who are babies I don't so there is diaper room.

I sure hope I didn't confuse you more!

I am hoping this will work for the simply sweet pattern too. I have that and I want to make Nikki something but it only goes to a size 6 and she is larger so I was going to just add to the bodice at the fold. then adjust the skirt part accordingly?

I sorta got bad news at the doctor today. I have had 3 surgeries since having my c section delivery. My last surgery was about 3 or 4 months ago, and I had these cysts on my ovaries. I usually have cysts but apparently these were what he called "the bad kind". He told me today that I have endometriosis on my ovaries. Apparently they forgot to call and tell me when my pathology reports came in. He said it took longer than my follow up visit.
He talked about some kind of shot that started with an L to make my body think I am in menopause because he really doesn't want to do a full hysterectomy just yet. We've been talking about the hysterectomy for about a year now I think. My uterus has issues too..
Anywho.. just needed to vent a little. If anyone has any experience with this shot(Luprin I think?) let me know please. Kinda scares me, but at least it isn't as bad at having a hysterctomy!

I'll be posting my Minnie and Mickey Vida soon and my Mardi Gras outfit... just not tonight!

Thank you!~That is very true! It is still pretty CCCOOOLLLDD up here so with some tights and leggings it's fine for now.

Great job! that is on my list to try!

I read the first book a couple of weeks ago. I think I have all of the remaining ones (that are in paperback) - picked them up through PaperBackSwap.com - I need to get through them so I can swap them for more books!! I also really want to rent the DVD of True Blood.

They get so much better after the 1st one! Let me know what you think! Not that I didn't like the 1st one but the series kept getting much more in depth and I loved how the characters developed! Love the big strong viking Eric Oh and on the series he is HOT! but I digress...

That is adorable!



Ok we are off to a DVC event at the comedy club in Chicago! Well outside of Chicago but still. I am hoping for some Disney magic on this snowy day!!!!
I was going to have Nik wear her HM shirt I made her and her petti skirt but since it is snowing she might have to wear her boots and the shirt is black and her boots are brown UGH! Think any one will notice?? Kyle will wear his Buzz shirt I made for our trip. I know bad mommy I should have made them customs just for the event but I didn't. Oh well.

 

[desparatelydisney]

Wow - 6 pages while I ate supper & slept!

For all those who are talking about homeschooliing...
I am going to start homeschooling next year too - a third grader and a K
...if y'all don't know there is a wonderful homeschool community right here on the dis: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1787845

Now back to our regularly scheduled sewing program....

 

[Disney 4 Me]

Thanks everyone for all of the positive feedback on my customs. You guys are the best!

 

[MiniGirl]

Here are a few more things . . .

First up Blue Belle. This is actually the 2009 version. I took the apron off last years dress and then constructed a new blue dress. My DD outgrew last years but Belle is still her favorite.

The picture is awful but I wanted to show the piping. I have a thing about always finishing bodices with piping or ric rac etc . . .

Aimee, I love the blue Belle and all the cuties. I feel the same way about the piping or some kind of trim. I think it really helps give it a finished look. I love the cuties, too. I have never been a fan of them, but have seen so many cute things with them. I think I even have some Cuties fabric around here somewhere. (Yes, I bought the fabric even though I am not a fan. Seriously, I have a fabric problem. Maybe I will join you in your fabric fast.)

I am already a fabric addict! I have a closet full of fabric and patterns that have never been used! Thankfully my hubby doesn't seem to mind too much. His last deployment, I used JoAnn Fabric as my therapy.

What in the world is Disney's homeschool days?

Yes, Jo-Ann's is my happy place when I can't be at Disney. LOL!!!

Disney has Homeschool Days twice a year (usually in Sept and Jan, I think). We haven't been yet. This is our first year homeschooling, so it is all new. Apparently though, Disney picks a theme and offers classes and workshops around that theme. This last one was at the Studios and the kids learned different areas of production and spoke with people in the business. I'm sure someone on the Homeschool Chat thread could offer more info, or you can ask me again after the next one. We hope to be at that one.

ok, so I have been a tad distracted lately... have not gotten as much done the last few weeks and have not been able to stop in... but here is my latest cute little dress. Love the Zoo animals on it!!

Lori

Lori, this is so cute. I love it, and I love the fabric, too. It is great.

Why can't I get motivated! I have all of these things to finish up and things planned in my head but I can't get my self to get off my fat butt and finish them! UGH!

I am right there with you. I have 2 St. Patrick's Day outfits in various stages of completion. At this rate, they will be ready next year. I just don't feel like finishing them.

Okay, I have been lurking here for months. I am not creative nor "artisy" and even though my mom can sew anything in the world I never took the time to learn when she wanted to teach me. Therefore, the hardest thing I have ever made is curtains. But....you gals inspired me so.....I present my first ever outfit...(sorry it's blurry, she was so happy to pose that she WOULD NOT stand still).

I think it is perfect!!! Very cute. Thank you for sharing, and I can't wait to see what else you come up with.

Today was the Clara Schumann report at school...

Wow!! The dress is amazing. Congratulations to both Sierra and her Auntie.

You all are so talented, and such an inspiration! Wow, there are a lot of plans to be made between now & then![/QUOTE]

I am sorry that you had bad news. May I ask how old are you? Do you feel your family is complete? I would hate to see you get something worse than a hysie if you don't do it. Our prayers are with you.

Thank you!~That is very true! It is still pretty CCCOOOLLLDD up here so with some tights and leggings it's fine for now.

Okay, accomplishment time for me.

(It is solid black. It's kinda distorted in the picture. I think because of the flash.)

Shirring is fun, looks great!

I love the cute outfit, the pants are so colourful! She is a cutie.

Are you kiddin me? We moved??? and I am on page 13??? Yeesh...I missed the whole thing. And can anyone help me move my sewing stuff over...its really heavy after the sale at Joann's and all of the fabric I just bought!

OK I update my trippie again...just a taste of Epcot day. I am going to catch up here and head to bed!

You bought more fabric, oh fun! Yes, the board is moving so fast.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

this was my first

That is really very cute. I live out west and although the girls would never wear this for play it is great. I think you have things figured out very well.

Thanks for the tip, I haven't tried appliqueing on a t-shirt yet but I did just buy a bunch from Walmart.

I didn't know to use ball point either, great tip.

This is my first custom- My DD was three and she wore this to her baby sisters first bday.

She is really cute. I love the dress and just wonder why they can't make a pattern that is simple criss cross top and skirt bottom for adults?
Amiee, I wanted to ask you something and yet I can't remember. Old age sucks.

 

[Haganfam5]

YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That looks sooooo AWESOME!!!!!!! How was it? What directions did you follow???? GREAT JOB!!!!! Im still askeered to try!!

It was really not that bad. Thank you to everyone for the compliments. The hardest part was winding the bobbin with the elastic thread. Both of my machines didn't like when I was pulling the elastic (to stretch a little) while it wound. I opened up my bobbin tension a little to allow the thread to slide out (note: for some reason I couldn't get it to work with my drop in bobbin machine. I think because it is elastic and it kept cutting it at the end and it would spring back into the bobbin). You just use regular thread in the machine. Then Tension on the the machine up to 9 and stitch length at the longest (4) and a'shirring I went! You do one line and after that just keep following the next one using your presser foot. It took a little bit of time but I can't wait to finish the top.

It's off to my kids basketball game and I will finish the top later.

Really Wendy, don't be scared!! (I used the corset top directions, too)

It was fun! I love an accomplishment!

If any one has more questions please ask!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Ok we are off to a DVC event at the comedy club in Chicago! Well outside of Chicago but still. I am hoping for some Disney magic on this snowy day!!!!

I am so jealous, out here DVC means Damn time to Vaccinate the Cows. I say DVC and the farmer go and grab and syringe

What was the event and did you have fun? All I get is junk email to buy more points.

 

[kstgelais4]

I am finally here!!!! For some reason I actually wanted to read through all the posts before I posted, so that took me all day yesterday and this morning (I was really behind!) before I was done. I'm here though, and I made it! hehe.

 

[CastleCreations]

Hi! Boy we have been busy. I am working on something now...but I'm not sure if it will get done before spring. Lexie and Ireland are in dance class 4 days a week and Ireland is still in gymnastics, so we are always on the go.
Here are some recent photos...

Lexie's birthday...she got the DS she wanted, and new bike, and bunch of other stuff and dinner at T-Rex at Downtown Disney

This is just a picture I thought was pretty from a recent day at Epcot

Lexie waiting for her dance class to start

sorry no new pictures of Ireland...we are also busy planning our spring break vacation...right now our choices are St Thomas or Maui...Maui is winning!! I'm thinking of making the ressies today...I just need to make sure we can get the hotel we want...anywho, got to run and take a shower. We are getting a new sprinkler system put in today, and they just informed me that the water might have to be shut off for a little while...egads..what next.
