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

[jessica52877]

My youngest daughter's b-day is 2 days after Christmas too!! She's a really great kid.... must be somehting about that day!

Wow! My son's birthday is also 2 days after Christmas and that's exactly what he is getting this year in his basket! He loves lego Star Wars actually, everything Lego!

Must be a good day to be born then!

thanks, all the associate would say is "right now only material is on clearance". I'll keep watch.

You are losing your's also. Isn't it sad?

They do keep a few still on the shelves just down the "sewing" aisle now. If you can even call it a sewing aisle.

The last of my customs for our upcoming trip:

Dd#2's Minnie:

Thanks for looking,
Emily

I really love everything you made! I love this style skirt!

Vargas! I missed yours post to quote it the other day but I just LOVE all the outfits! I love the 2 colored shirts too. It makes everything pop! We have a few too many in this house already!

Wow! You all have been busy!

I love,love, love all the Ariel stuff that's been posted lately. That sweet little girl with the costume on is so cute! Something about a little kid in a bright red wig brings a chuckle, you know! I also loves the pillowcase applique and a line Ariel posted recently.

I never thought about long waistedness before. Is that even a word?

But anyway, I can safely say I DO NOT have that problem! But, my DNiece passes her swimsuits to my girls and the straps are always all stretched out so we usually don't end up using them. Major wardrobe malfunction! I'll suggest to her to check out the long torsoed ones! There I go making up my own words again! (No, I'm not a good Scrabble player.)

Have a great day everyone!!

I have just finished a few more things. I have been pretty busy lately. I just started working at Gymboree again All of my ds's shirts were easier than I thought they would be

DD's ariel was from a pillowcase. This was pretty hard for me. It took a lot longer but I am happy with the results.

Sorry if pic sizes are off. I can't get phobucket to cooperate with me.

Those are all adorable!! Great job!!

That is so not fair! Maybe I should edit my siggy to say "if I had an ebay ID it would be bugsnbees, but I don't. I only have an etsy ID"

Jeanne, you cracky me up! Of course, I think you should do it.

Hello everyone! I have been lurking on here for a few months. I just got my first sewing machine for Christmas and have so far made a pillowcase, a pair of pirate pants, and two sundresses. I love looking at the pictures of what everyone has created. You are all SO TALENTED!! I noticed a lot of really cute appliques and was wondering if anyone had a link to how to do them. Are they hard? I bought several pairs of jeans and t-shirts for my dd for $3 each and I would love to come up with some awesome appliques to give them life. Thanks in advance!

YUP Heather Sue's tutorial is the bestes applique tutorial ever, you should check it out. and take your time and practice on shirts you don't like first, don't ask how I know

 

[t-beri]

oh and...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MORGAN!!!

Cindee, your little girl is growing up. Do you think Jord is being replaced?

Neither of my kids were ever attached to a blankie or lovey of anykind and it always kind of made me sad. But Lily made a bunny (she named her Ella. Well she wanted Cinderell but Dadda told her that Cinderella's real name is Ella)at build a bear last weekend and they have been inseparable. embarrassingly I think I've been fostering it a little. You know, "where's Ella" "are you bringing Ella?" etc.. I clearly have issues.

hello Everyone... Ithas been at least a week since I was on here.... I was so busy etc from sewing and life... But I am going on a quick vacation for spring break to exciting Tucson AZ. But it is sun and lots of pool time...
here is what I was working on!

Lori

Very cute, I especially like that last one.

Peach's tooth came out last night in her sleep.... She woke me up this morning before the alarm went off. Started off like this...

Peach: Mom..Mom.. hey mommy
ME: Yes pumpkin butt
Peach: I had a really strange dream last night
ME: you did? what was it about
Peach: Well....I was playing with my tooth, and I was watching Space Buddies, Isn't it funny that I was watching in my dream but never seen it in real life, mom, isn't that funny
ME: Yes silly girl, thats funny
Peach: MOM! don't call me that
ME: ok..
Peach: so in my dream I was watching the movie and I fell asleep with my pillows like this (like a chair) and I was sucking my thumb and THEN all of the sudden MY TOOTH CAME OUT!!! I woke up and I was lookin for it, and couldn't find it. Oh dear, Mom you know what happen in my dream??
ME: what happen?
Peach: I SWALLOWED IT!
ME: No... really, how funny.
Peach: MOM... LOOK LOOK! My tooth is GONE. Its totally GONE mom! and guess what?
ME: what Peachykins
Peach: I really did SWALLOW my tooth!

Isn't that just the cutest!? Then we had to have the discussion on where the tooth goes... try having that convo to a kid who didn't get we just can't um clean it up when we find it! hahaha

She told my cousin that the tooth fairy was trying to pull it out probably and dropped it down her throat! hahaha oh man too cute. So here are the pictures

Her trying to eat breakfast

Here is the note she left for the Tooth fairy explaining about her tooth. Soo cute. I love it. Look at the "O" in her name at the bottom.. hehe

and of course the tooth fairy gift and note card. She leaves notes with money. ANd this time a little carebear because she felt bad about "dropping the tooth"

What a fantastic story, LOVE the card she got from the Tooth Fairy! My tooth fairy was never even close to being that ambitious.

The last of my customs for our upcoming trip:

Dd#2's Minnie:

Dd #2's Tink:

Dd #1's Ariel (no, I did not make the Ariel)

Something quick I whipped up using the pre-shirred fabric from JoAnns:

Lastly, our countdown calendar . I wanted to redo it because the Micky heads aren't straight, but dh said it was fine and to leave it.

Thanks for looking,
Emily

Nice job, I like how you wrote out Tink's name.

Easter Baskets:

Last year we bought dd some of the linking rings and put into her basket, as well as a board book, toddler spoons (was just learning how to feed herself), and a bunny from Hallmark that says My First Easter on its shirt. This year she's getting three stuffed bunnies (the same except for color), a Snow White Barbie (I take the shoes, etc off before she plays with them-this child already has a huge love for Barbie dolls-runs for them when we go down toy aisles for buying birthday gifts, etc) and we'll probably put Bolt into her basket, as well. Candy wise, she's getting a sleeve of Peeps and that will be it.

Dd #2's Tink:

Thanks for looking,
Emily

I just love how the wings make the K! Very clever!

Still mulling what I might do for my girls. My dd15 says "Don't do it Mom. You'll start something but won't finish it!" Sigh. My reputation procedes me.

 

[ncmomof2]

Lori

I love it all but especially the crab and anchor! Amazing job as always.

 

[Ashlotte]

Heather did a great tutorial...there is a link on page 1 under the bookmarks

Thank you!

Glad to see you posting again. I don't post a lot, but lurk daily and try to keep up with sewing. I absolutely fell in love with your idea for Little's AK outfit you made even before you made it. DD9 and I are doing a mother/daughter trip this coming August and I wanted to CASE this outfit for her. I asked on the boards, but you never responded, so I hope it's ok with you. If not, let me know and I won't post it. BTW it's definitely not to sell!

 

[froggy33]

She is just too cute! And I am so jealous of the beautiful birthday at Disney!! If it makes you feel any better she doesn't look too old there at Disney with her beautiful dolls!! Love the customs too!

 

[roscoepc1]

I was reading the thread last night, and my 6 yr old walked by just as I was looking at the appliqued Ariel (pillowcase one)...

She said "OOooooo, Mommy! I LOVE that! Can you buy it for me???"



I just got the stuff today to make a Tink costume/dress for Melissa's (dd age 6) best friend's b-day party. She's one of those kids who already has every toy known to man....but she is Tink obsessed, and I can sew! A perfect combo! Especially since I already had the pattern!

I'm going to make it so it's wearable as an everyday dress too, not just a costume...which means I'll have to Frankenpattern it a bit...my fave!

Oh! And while I was at the store-who-must-not-be-named this morning, I got a "grab bag" of appliques for $7.97. It had about 30+ appliques in it, and 6 are nice (but small) Disney ones! Tigger, Snow White, a Princess title one, Aurora, and two I forget....lol. It was well worth the money, so you may wantto grab one if your local store has them too...they were hanging on the rack below the other appliques. They all looked like they had close to the same content though. Lots of beautiful butterfly ones, flowers, tractor, fire truck and hydrant...etc

Long time lurker here. I love what everyone creates and this thread is what inspires me to do whatever little sewing I do do.

Anyway, I'm in the middle of making a notebook computer case and am working on my first applique (Thank you HeatherSue for the great tutorial). I'm currently debating about what color to stitch around the white. From reading through here and the tutorial, I know typically its suggested to use the same color thread. But, I was wondering what you all thought of using brown for an accent to tie into the background fabric. I've attached a couple pics with a tiny sample of the brown I did on scrap fabric. Just really wanted opinions of the experts out there!!! Thanks for any input you might have.

and a closer look:

 

[bear_mom]

Very pretty. I love the A-Line's with the skirts. They look so nice.

Thanks, I like the look also.

Love the ariel... it is super cute!

Thanks!

I really love everything you made! I love this style skirt!

I do too, especially since the last one only took me about 3 hours from start to finish, with the shorts underneath.

Nice job, I like how you wrote out Tink's name.

I just love how the wings make the K! Very clever!

I CASED the K off someone. I'm not sure who, I never could figure it out. I hope they don't mind.

Guess what came in the mail today:

to match the green/purple TINK outfit. Aren't they perfect????

Personally? I'd use the pink thread....I wouldn't use the brown, only b/c every error will be glaring at you.

It is SO okay to case me!!! It's so rare that I have such a clever idea. I think of all of her customs it got the most attention. We were in the very front at the parade and EVERYONE pointed it out. Even Minnie Mouse. Her Toy Story dress go almost as much attention. And the day she wore her Friends around the world outfit, noone mentioned it at all. But every woman who stood behind us commented on her hair! I mean, the hair was cute but COME ON! Noone got the Epcot / flags correlation??? LOL. Please make her a Minnie safari outfit w/ my blessing and have a wonderful time on your trip!!!

Your first applique looks wonderful!!! Mostly those of us chickens who use the same color just want to hide any imperfections we may have made. I think it looks very nice when there is a stitch in a contrast color. Clearly you felt confident enough to try it out so I say go ahead, finish it up in brown. You are doing a great job!

I think the brown looks cute but the white will show through a bit. If you want to use the brown, I would go around everything twice, then the white won't show through as much.

Those would match my DD outfit perfectly too! Where did you find them? Do they come in regular girls sizes or just toddler?

Thanks Tifani! I'm charging camera batteries now to take a few pics of them.

 

[Jajone]

I made this criss cross top for DD, but want to make some matching shorts. I'm not sure what colors to use for the shorts so they don't look like jammies. She is going to be almost 10. I have lots of the blue sparkly fabric and dreen dots, only enough of the Tink fabric for 1 shorts leg and very very little of the other dotted fabric. I'd like to make cuffed easy fits shorts, but open to other suggestions.
http://
I also have a tink applique. I'm now thinking blue sparkly material, green dot cuffs and the tink applique on the bottom of one leg? What do you guys think?

 

[snubie]

I know that there are some of us here trying to do more "green" or natural things in our homes. I found a great place to buy laundry detergent. crunchyclean.com
My laundry smells so yummy today.

I think the brown looks cute but the white will show through a bit. If you want to use the brown, I would go around everything twice, then the white won't show through as much.

Or use brown in your bobbin, then it won't show up at all. I am really bad at trying to go over the same lines!

Everyone is so chatty! I have to stop going away every week! I can't seem to keep caught up!

So prayers for all who are sick, hugs for those who need it. Many thanks to Lisa for the tute on how to do patchwork easy. I spent the last week making rows and rows of sqaures to do a patchwork skirt. Yeah, I now think I don't like any of the fabrics! When I make the matching set for the baby, it will be make with strips and then cut into squares!

The Dr. Suess top was so cute, it really looked like something bought in a boutique! There were so many really impressive sets! Oh, and Lori, they are cute as usual! You are so talented!

The tooth fairy story is so funny! Last week, we noticed that something looked funny with Miss Kadie's front teeth. Yup, they are a tinsy bit loose! She is growing up so fast!!

Oh, Tberi??? Can you do a tute with making the clothe diapers???? Pretty please??? My youngest DGD is clothe diapered and her mom wants me to make some more diapers for her. It just looks scary!!
