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

[aceys_h0ney]

I am just stopping in to check you guys out. Teresa pointed me in this direction. I don't sew but really enjoy seeing all the customs. Also I love DIS but have not gotten in on any chatty threads other then TRs so if it is ok with you guys I would like to lurk around and maybe chat some. Perhaps you can all inspire me to make something for our upcoming trip. Maybe I can start small with something like headbands or something. Of course they must require hot glue only because that is the only crafting skill I have mastered. Well that and making beautiful Christmas wreaths but we will have no use for those at Disney in June.

Hi Guys,

I just found my new favorite Non Disney Fabric!!!!!!! Its so cute and summery!! What do you think? Round neck tops with matching capris and maybe shorts for Tim out of the beach ballish fabric with a blue tshirt to coordinate????

Very Fun! I haven't used the Tutti Frutti yet, now I am going to have to go check it out.

Ok, I have a question that will show how little I know about the mechanics of sewing
I just broke a needle and I don't have time to go to the store... the ones I have have yellow, green or red on the end. Does that signify something?
Hubby says they have numbers on them... but I can't tell what they say....According to his superior vision red: 70-9; yellow:90-14; green: 100-16. What do these things mean and can I use any of what I have to finish my project. Just sewing regular calico style cotton... I think I hit and pin when it broke.



Thanks ladies. So the new rule is.... never sew and try to explain to your 5 year old "Why its Wednesday" at the same time I thought we were out of the "WHY" stage, but maybe he is just trying to teach his sister how to do it effectively.

Then what about modifying Carla's bowling shirt pattern ,aybe not adding a coller and rounding the edges of the plaklet?!!

Hmmm..that is an idea. Thanks!

finished the princess outfit the other day sorry 2year olds not easy to photograph! Oh I found this jacket at the local thrift store and cute the sleeves and the bottom of it and added ruffles.

Oh she is such a little cutie. I love the skirt you made and the cool jacket!!! So cute!

I made this one. It came out great, I think anyway .

I modified the top and made the tail as instructed. I am glad you asked, because this was for halloween and I wasn't around here then so I have never been able to share:

Please ignore the junk in the background! I don't know how elaborate you wanted the tail to be but this one worked out nice because she was able to carry it on her wrist.

Oh, and I don't know why she insisted on Cinderella shoes but that's what she wanted to wear .

That is adorable!!

Can I just say again how amazing that top is! I really love how you did the strips and I can just imagine how much time it took to sew them all on! I just love it!

Of course you can say it again....LOL....it made my day! Thank you so much!!

A warning? By a mod? Really? It's always been allowed!?! I'm very, very confused. Can you tell me a little more?

 

[luvinyou]

I love that Joann's - its a little south for me, but I do go there sometimes!! sometimes you just HAVE to find something!! The Joann's at the Tristate mall is where i got this - it was very well stocked too!!!

Does anyone know where I can get girls white leggins - preferrably capri length in a 3t/4t and a 7/8???? Joann's also has this really pretty pink with daisies and light blue with daisies on it - i got a yard of each for the girls and thought I'd do the pinafore dress with leggins??????? Walmart had pink, black, gray but no white ones.......anyone seen what target has?

I was also wondering if anyone had seen girls swim suits with the rashguard tops yet???? I was so bummed that it doesnt seem that Disney will have them again this year.....

TCP for the leggings and I have seen the rash gaurds at the Gap and Gap Outlet. It is also Gap's G&G this weekend

 

[t-beri]

AH!!! The internet, in the luxury of my own home! VERY cool. Maybe now I can show my face (and some clothes) a bit more around here!

Things are well w/ me...a little stressful but WELL. I am oh, about 26 weeks or so into my pregnancy and things are looking good. I'm tired though. I just got a TON of supplies for making cloth diapers for the new little, so I won't be sewing much else until my stash is finished up, I do need to get some summer pillow case and a-line dresses made up for Lily while I'm waiting on the last of my diaper supplies to show. OH, and matching nightgowns for Little and her Build-a-bear (er, uh, build-a-bunny???) Ella (can you guess what kind of dress she picked out???)

I have a TON of baby showers too...all of Brandons band mates (He's playing in a cover band now, to earn enough cash to keep him in recording equipment and gas money to continue doing his accoustic thing ) wives are pregnant. We are all due between the first week of June and the first week of Aug. HOW WEIRD? and I have a childhood friend that is due just days before me. So I am going to be sewing up lots of baby gifts. Mostly I'm thinking Bibs and matching burp cloths but maybe A-line outfits for the babes we KNOW are girls (2 so far) and possible booties...but that seems ambitious LOL.

Well, that is it for now, it's late and I still have to get the dinner dishes loaded. I was just so excited to finally be online at home that I had to share! Hopefully I'll have a chance to look back a little during the week.

TTYL...t.

Ok, I need ideas. The girls birthdays are coming up and we are having one party for both of them. It is a Mary Poppins theme party. I need ideas for invitations. I got a picture of them with Mary Poppins, but I also want a CUTE wording for the invites. Any ideas?

My friend is doing the cup cake cake. She is making a cake to look like a cloud and Mary Poppins sitting on the cake, then underneath will be cup cakes with Kites stuck in them to make them look like they are flying in the sky. I think it sounds super cute!

Oh that sounds cute. I dont know you could do something with her bag? as goodie bags or somethin. I dont know. What about umbrellas for invites? and use some song lyrics from the movie

Does anyone know where I can get girls white leggins - preferrably capri length in a 3t/4t and a 7/8???? Joann's also has this really pretty pink with daisies and light blue with daisies on it - i got a yard of each for the girls and thought I'd do the pinafore dress with leggins??????? Walmart had pink, black, gray but no white ones.......anyone seen what target has?

I was also wondering if anyone had seen girls swim suits with the rashguard tops yet???? I was so bummed that it doesnt seem that Disney will have them again this year.....

We have gotten leggings at Old Navy, Target and Kohl's I dont know if you have that there. We have found the bigger size ones at Limited Too as well. JCPenney's.

Welcome welcome! We do get pretty chatty here sometimes. You know what I have made Disney style with a hot glue gun. I have colored or painted cardstock or canvas paper with anything really I want. and then made a swirl Mickey head on the paper (little one) and then let it dry, and cut the paper very close to the glued mickey head and turned it into a pin or backpack tag.

 

[t-beri]

Oh and FINALLY, yesterday I got a letter and car magnet from the Mickey Moms Club...WHAT is it w/ those people, I was starting to get a little ticked

But now I'm happy.

 

[PrincessKell]

What is Mickey's mom club? Im out of the loop

 

[tinashaver]

yeah I just got an PM saying I had a warning for having my etsy on there because it is considered advertising I do have a Pal Mickey swap going on so I have been posting on other threads? They just said it was against Disboard policy?

Oh she is such a little cutie. I love the skirt you made and the cool jacket!!! So cute!

Thank you!

 

[GoofyG]

FYI: For the party favors I hit my walmart and bought all of their Disney $1 kites!

Perfect!

 

[coteau_chick]

AHh this is my summertime walmart and Joanns - i was hoping that walmart still had fabric!!! i like that joann's too!!

I sent you a PM. Please let me know when you get it.

Cricut Fabric Cutting info below....

can't remember who was asking, but I found this while I was on the Cricut message boards tonight and thought it might be helpful.

"After trying two different bonding materials, I found that the Heat and Bond worked the best. I left the paper on the material and placed the paper side on the mat to cut. I set the cricut speed on 2, pressure on 4 and blade on 4. I used a white sheet for the letters and snow caps. The mountains, path and other items were made from quilting fabric my mother had. Hope this information helps."

Wasn't sure if you had already tried it this way or not, but try setting yur speeds, pressure etc. to these and leave the paper on the back of the heat bond- maybe that'll help. What she cut out was beautiful and perfect.

 

[t-beri]

What is Mickey's mom club? Im out of the loop

HA! It's a club for all us losers who didn't get onto the Mom's Panel so we don't feel like LOSERS. I don't think there is anything to it, just a site to log onto w/ tips and ideas and such. Just something else to make me spend more money at disney.

I'm very excited. Megan turns 3 next month and is still not potty trained- she showed interest at 18 months, but I didn't pursue it and then it faded. I have tried a few different things- a doll that wets and has a potty, encouraging her to sit on the little potty we bought,books, videos, talking about it, etc.

Well Monday night I had done some ironing after she went to bed and i didnt want to wake her so I went in and layed her dresses across her rocking horse.
Yesterday morning I asked her to come to her room to get dressed (after breakfast) and she didn't want the jeans I had pulled out- she wanted to wear one of the dresses, which gave me an idea. I said okay and pulled out a pair of new Tink underwear and explained (as I have before) that she has to use the potty when she wears underwear. As a further incentive...Megan is not normally allowed chocolate because she reacts badly, but I figured an M&M would be okay so I got out a little bag I had and told her she could have a special treat if she used the potty. Well- THAT got her interested!
She must have sat on the potty 6 times in an hour and finally had success!!!!!!
She used the potty two more times yesterday with one small accident at 6pm (I was on the phone with my brother)
I can't believe my baby is growing up!!!!

Now today I have to go to the quilt shop to get some fabric...guess I will use a pull up for the trip out and come directly home.
Im so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With any luck she will be fully trained by the time this baby is born.

We used the colored mini marshmallows for potty treats instead of chocolate, if she has issues with the chocolate maybe that would work for you too?

I really like that, thanks for sharing the link, too! Too bad the Incredibles fabric is sold out, though, I've been looking for some since my dd's name is Violet. =)




Congrats on the potty training progress!

Anyone find any super cute Elmo fabric? We bought tickets to go with some friends to Sesame Street Live-Elmo's Green Thumb and I want to make her something cute to wear. She's never even SEEN Sesame Street, yet she knows who Elmo is and calls him by name (MoMo lol).

I just made a really cute Elmo outfit I bought this fabric on ebay

here is the finished outfit it was for a 2 year olds birthday.

Gathering issues...
So this is my problem, when i do my gathering with the basting stitch method, my thread almost ways breaks. What am I doing wrong or should I give up on this and try a different method?

I have recently learned that when I am going to gather something, it is way easier to break it into sections, for instance tonight I was making a dress and instead of running one long basting stitch around the entire topof the skirt I seperated it into three sections, I gather each section from the end to about the center tie it off then go from the other end to the center, tie off and go to the next section.
Hope that makes sense.

finished the princess outfit the other day sorry 2year olds not easy to photograph! Oh I found this jacket at the local thrift store and cute the sleeves and the bottom of it and added ruffles.

That turned out SOOOO adorable, what a cutie



I'm trying to catch up again, I try to read every night so I dont get TOO far behind but you guys are just to quick for me, then I feel bad for not acknowledging every awesome thing there is posted LOL.

I ended up finishing my St Patty outfits in a crunch, I had thought they needed them for this comming weekend and it turned out they needed them LAST weekend, I found this out Friday night, so thank HEAVENS I had the skirts and tops mostly done just had to put together the reversable jackets (two of them) they turned out pretty gawsh darn cute too
This is my 4 year old DD modeling one of the outfits. its a bit big on her, but you get the idea, it's way cuter on than just laying on the floor After staying up for 37 hours straight to finish these jackets, sewing on the sleeves inside out and having to pick it all out after finishingoff the seems.... I must say I am pretty proud to have completed these all on my own

Now that I have a major sewing bug again, I have a few things I want to put together, easter outfits etc.

Our walmart is one that is going out, we are at 50% off right now, I got some GREAT deals today... my husband I am sure will not be so thrilled, but I couldn't pass up a good deal.

 

[LuvGoing2Disney7]

This thread is amazingly chatty. With all the cute things being sewn I can see why but it makes it hard to catch up.

I'm still stockpiling fabric and buying patterns to make things for Madilynn. And I made 30 Dr Seuss felt hats for Ryan's Kinder class. That was quite a chore but oh so worth it.

We did take our week trip to CA. We snuck in breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen. The look on Drew's face when we drove up was totally priceless. They were so good with him. He wore his Pluto shirt from the Big Give. Pluto was jumping up and down with his arms in the air when he saw it. It was GREAT!! Of course that excitement caused Drew to have a seizure and freaked them all out but he was fine(I still need to scan those pictures). Everyone gave us extra special treatment.

That day we spent the afternoon in Long Beach. I have been so overly jealous of Jeanne's IASW outfit. I've showed it to everyone. It's AMAZING. And there are so many outfits I have to show my mom and brag about all the talent that is here. So when we passed this window I just had to take a picture for you all

 

[tinashaver]

that is cute I want one!

OOOOh wow.. that is awesome! I love that! I love sewing bugs! and deals on fabric too. hehe Our Wally Worlds around here which are all 30 minutes away or more do not have fabric anymore... sadly.

What fun at Goofy's kitchen! I am glad Drew was okay! I can't believe you made Ryan's entire K class the hats. I thought of you with all the talk of Dr Suess!

Thanks Karen! I spent some time last night and mastered it! I was so happy about it. I was trying to cut small disney font letters before and I think that wasn't helping! This time I did a few smaller designs and they cut perfect! I did peel my paper because the day before it kept bunching up. Either way I was exited!

Now, how do I move from inkscape into SCAL without it shrinking my design. It has to be an easy fix button that I just can't find! I know I can stretch it back out in SCAL but I wanted to cut some things where I need them to be perfect and fit together without cutting and moving them all at once. Make sense? I know you'll figure it out long before me!

yeah I just got an PM saying I had a warning for having my etsy on there because it is considered advertising I do have a Pal Mickey swap going on so I have been posting on other threads? They just said it was against Disboard policy?


Thank you!

I post on other threads all the time so I don't think it has anything to do with that. I got a warning while we were at disney (thought I posted about it). Then again I was "turned in" by others who felt threatened. Odd since I have sold all of 2 things through the disboards, as in someone said I saw your ID on the disboards! I love it how people just assume you sell 50 things a week to people who sew! Guess they haven't caught on to the face that they all sew themselves and we actually LIKE to help each other out!

A warning? By a mod? Really? It's always been allowed!?! I'm very, very confused. Can you tell me a little more?

It seems there is confusion and one mod will say you can have it in your siggy and the other says no. I am quite confused how etsy is any different from ebay though!
