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

[MinnieVanMom]

Auntie is going out of town today so I am going to post the picture of her sharing with the kids.

The kids had such a good time.

Now when she gets back in town she might never sew for me again.

That is a wonderful picture! Look at the patterns, the beutiful dress and how engaged the children are. This is very precious and thanks for posting.

Crap you guys. I am trying to drop a few inches in my waistline and now I am going to make choco chip cookies. If my clothes don't fit is in Disney I am going to blame you guys for talking about the cookie. I have been sooo good lately doing Wii every day for 30 minutes, swimming, walking.

Dang!

Hi Everyone,

Im working on a portrait peasant top and was wondering - if I use a stretchy velourish part for the bodice, can I use a fun cotton for the sleeves? does it attach differently????? Thanks for the help!!

I got some of my quilt squares cut out, but decided I need some white flannel -of course that is like the one thing i dont have!!

believe it or not this is my first overnight alone - I know I'll be okay, but I dont like it!!! I get creeped out very easily!!!!! Zoey is by my side though!!!

If I left right now though, I could still get into the campground and sleep the night there - do I want to do it??? it means an icky potty and coooollllldddd night!!!

NOPE!! I was just putting away our suitcase from a vacation the last week of January ( yes I am a procrastinator) and instead of putting it away, I just packed for my daughter for Disney. WE are leaving April 28th. I packed the outfits, the bows and the bling....in my "Disney mind" I figured this was just saving steps. Want to know what is really SICK???? All of the outfits I put in have been taken to Disney previously and not worn ( the horror!!!) So this trip is a "one custom per day" and also a "Use them or lose them" trip! I'm already stressing because I don't have any "princess" customs. Just Minnie, and Nemo, and Tink, and Wall E and Wishes (oops that was worn last trip, but only for fireworks and pics) and Jesse/Bullseye. I think I am at 6 customs I also have a patchwork twirl skirt that was packed last time but not worn, but I need to add an underskirt to complete it. So there we have it.....7! ( BUT I really want a princess one, and I have a smocked custom in the works too) See already I am going crazy

Do you have any pictures of these customs??????? I would love to see them!!!!! Especially the Wishes outfit!!!!!!

LOL - Maureen, if you make it with just 7 customs, I will be shocked!

I will be shocked too!

No!!!!!! Aimee don't you go posting pictures of you beautiful organized stash!!! It will give us all stash envy and will put (my) organization skills to shame!!! Seriously, I could frame your picture and hang it in my sewing area as a reminder of what a nicely organized area looks like!!

LOL!! You just made my day. You are such a sweetheart! I am having a crappy day and this just cheered me up. It looks like a bomb went off in my stash.

Thanks to everyone who helped me with my question about bows. I made DD one and she loves it. I'm pretty proud of it myself. I'll have to get her to post a pictures.

Now I have another question if you don't mind. DD will go to her first prom in April. She tells me she needs a garter. Apparently all the girls wear one and at some point their date removes them (in a ceremony of some sort, at the prom) and saves them as a keepsake. Anyone know what they should look like? It seems that some are quite elaborate and expensive. I have no clue. I've looked up garters on line but they don't look prom-ish to me.

I have to admit, this is shocking to me. I must be a prude, I didn't even do this at my wedding. Is it like what many do at weddings? Garters are used to hold a woman's stockings up, they are placed on the upper thigh. They are made from elastic and have decorative lace or fabric sewed on top. Maybe if you make it in her school colors and maybe do something with the school mascot on it (like a button). Good luck!

Okay, you need to stop. You are making me very envious... my machine is still in the shop so I can't even sew! These are beautiful and once again you have some awesome fabric! Did you get these fabrics overseas also?

For my friends, enjoy.

I am trying to sew up fishy shorts for me but DH put tramdock on the alert screen and I am going to go broke. I just bought a new pair of googles. I am in desperate need of insulated board pants and a new brown helmet.

Keep me away from the cookie and tramdock please.

Thanks for all of the comments about my 1st outfit. I was VERY proud of it. I think everyone's 1st outfits look so cute. Not like first timers at all.

This turned out great!!!

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.

I really like this top. I saw another one kind of like it earlier, but have no idea how to recreate it. Did you use a pattern?

HELP ME!

Ok ladies, now maybe that wasnt totally called for! haha but seriously

Are you ready? No no its not Im going to Disneyland, but

I have a date!!!

Ok Im really nervous and on the verge of backing out. I left and opening to be able to get out of it! He is a super nice guy and we have soooo much in common, but I am scared to all heck. Just something new. Georgia left this morning to go to her dads for the night. She wanted to go, it normally would be my weekend, but she misses her daddy.

I dont know how to "date". Help me. Calm me down. I need it. haha I am really excited but at the same time, just really nervous.

Ok back to your sewing and reading. See I almost want to say no and just stay home and sew. Oh man what is wrong with me!?!

You so can do it!!! I know you will have a great time!

Lori, Wow, you are hard at work. It is all so beautiful. I love the princess fabric the best. I have never seen before.

No I just used a rectangle about 2X DD measurements then hemmed the top added ruffles on the bottom then did the elastic sewing... which was my first time. then added the straps was not to hard. I wish you good luck if/when you give it a try!

 

[tinashaver]

Lori you make me jelouse! I need some motivation to get sewing!

 

[Disney 4 Me]

I love these AK tees! How did you get the Mickeys so perfect???

It's easy, really. I used the Mickey head pattern that everyone has (I'm pretty sure it's in the photobucket account) and traced it onto the t's. No freehand from me!

Hi! My name is Kelly and I've been lurking on your thread for quite a while. My mom sewed when I was a little girl and I would dabble with the sewing machine, but nothing major. Your thread inspired me to make first day of school outfits for my kids this past year. I have an almost 7 y/o little boy and an almost 5 y/o little girl. They've never been to Disney World, but someday we'll get there. I'm a dispatcher at a police department and we dispatch police, fire, and ambulance. I've been reading your stuff for so long that I feel like I know you. Is it ok if I post the stuff I've made even though it's not Disney?

We love to look at everything!

Hi all! My name is Shannon. I have been following this thread for quite awhile now and have read all 11 threads. I LOVE what you guys have created! We are planning our first trip to WDW, along with a day in Sea World, and I am planning on making an outfit for each of my children for each day. There are four of them - and I haven't sewn any clothing up to this point since over five years ago. But what can I say - I'm a dreamer Hope you guys don't mind an inexperienced sewer joining... or one that hasn't been to Disney since I was a year or two old

Oh - and Heather - I have FINALLY posted

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).


To all the "de"lurkers!!
