Disboutiquers Part 15 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

One of my best friends is graduating from nursing school this week and having a celebration dinner saturday night. This is a career change for her and she's been working full-time while doing nursing school evenings and weekends. I am trying to come up with an idea for a gift for her and I just can't come up with anything. I want what I get to be special and not just a picture frame or the like. Any suggestions from disboutiquer land??? I was thinking she loved that ladybug fabric from walmart and I have the YCMT ladybug backpack pattern, do you think I could make that for her? Any other suggestions would be great in case I don't have time to finish the backpack by Saturday night. Thanks!
 
I just had to jump in and share a BAD dream I had last night! We were all ready to go to Disney World and Henry drove us to the airport. When we got there, I realized I had forgotten not only our Disney tickets, but our airplane tickets (in my dream you needed an actual ticket)! So, I stood in the airport crying. Somehow we were allowed on the airplane, but I forgot to pack the kids anything to do. So, they whined the whole way there. Then, when we got to the airport, there was no Magical Express. So, we WALKED to Pop Century. :rotfl: (it wasn't too far in the dream) When we got there, they didn't have our reservation. So, we slept outside in the grass. Then, I had to call Henry to come and pick us up because I didn't have any tickets for the parks.
:eek::scared1::scared1::eek:

It was such a vivid, real dream. I woke up thinking I actually missed out on my Disney vacation! :rotfl:

But for now, my only REAL drama is that I can't find a fridge swap for our dates! I REALLY want a fridge and I REALLY don't want to pay Disney $10/day. It would make our trip so much better since I'm going to be there with just the kids. If I had a fridge, we could get juice and milk the night before and put it in the fridge so we wouldn't have to haul them back up to the food court for breakfast.

I hate bad dreams like that!

I am discouraged at the lack of fridges during our trip too! I want to be able to save leftovers from the free dining! If someone starts a new fridge swap, please let me know! I've been looking at the colapsable coolers, but they are a little pricey!


I changed to the smallest needle I have in my house 80/11. I did the minnie applique again and reread Heathersue tut. so I madeoutside stitch so the needle came down right on the edge but still on the applique. Here is the picture of the first applique....

th_IMG_7719.jpg

Which looks better to you applique gurus out there?
Definitely the 2nd one looks better.

I have lurked off and on this thread for a few months and I have finally finished two dresses for our Disney trip!!! Thanks to all of the inspiration here, I have dusted off my sewing machine and remembered how much enjoyment there is in sewing!! I have also become reaquainted with my old friend the seam ripper! :lmao:

You have also enabled me to join etsy - so I could buy patterns, google all different styles of sewing machines (my Singer is an 1984 model -lol) shop for more fabric than I could sew in a year and shop for needles I never knew existed! I hope to attempt some applique soon!

I know this was asked, but I didn't see the answer - how do you applique the Princesses' eyes/facial features? I used to fabric paint years ago - so I may end up painting faces for a while!

Here are the dresses - I altered a Simplicity Daisy Kingdom pattern for this!

So pretty!

Hi Everyone,

I am back from our trip to Southern California. We had a great time and spent two days at Disneyland. However, I am starting to fear that our little guy may be jinxed when it comes to trips to Disney. On his very 1st trip to WDW last December he ended up getting severely sick and landed in the hospital. This trip, we had just arrived at our hotel in Anaheim when he fell and split his head open. We rushed him to a hospital close by where the Dr. decided rather than stitch him up, she would use "glue"...aka, dermabond. It still took 3 people to hold my baby down and this was after they had "mummied" him up in a sheet. I didn't give him the nickname, "little Houdini" for nothing. He can escape (wiggle free) out of just about anything!!! Hahaha. Here is a picture of my sweet little guy fast asleep on his first trip to Disneyland. (Look at his little Goofy that he somehow stole from his big sister...hahahahaha)

th_DSC_2687.jpg

(Oh and I embroidered that Mickey on his shirt. Hahaha....this time with NO hole in the back of the shirt. Hahaha. Oh and his ear is all red because he had just been laying on it. LOL.

Look at that little cutie pie!! I'm sorry he bonked his head!

Okay, the bad thing about going on vacation is that I get way behind on this board. I will never catch up so I am gonna start fresh. Hahaha. I did scan the past couple pages and everything that I have seen is adorable. I did notice that I have been "cased" by Miranda....:goodvibes:goodvibes:goodvibes...love the dress you made your sweetie with the pink bandanas. We took the outfit I had made and my DD wore it the one day to the park. Here is a quick shot from Tom Sawyer's Island. LOL

th_DSC_3007t.jpg

She looks adorable!

Sorry...me again. LOL. I just had to share a few more pictures. These were taken last December. This is "Little Houdini" getting his very first haircut at the Main Street Barbershop!!! He LOVED it!!!!! Not the best picrtures, but I just love them anyway.

I'm just so happy that you can share these pictures now!!!!! :yay::yay::yay::yay:

Here are some pictures of Grace modeling her "Miss Molly" sundress from YCMT. I made it in solid white so we could take beach pictures in it next week.

She was being difficult in the first picture.
th_003.jpg


She tried to me nice and smile in the second picture so I would let her go play.
th_004.jpg



The dress is beautiful, but these pictures are great!!!! She is so cute!
Wow that is a blast from the past - I wanted Joci to get her first cut there. then DH teased that she looked like a little jungle boy.

th_DisneyVacationPictures2006417.jpg



QUESTION ALERT : when sewing on "Minnie Dot" fabrics do you use the background color thread or do you use white thread?

Awww!

I use whichever is handiest when I do the Minnie Dot! If I have a red bobbin already wound, I'll use that, if I have a white one, I use white!
 
Thank you for re-posting this! I tried and tried to find your pictures, I couldn't remember who had made it and I felt bad not giving credit. However now that I see yours again I sooooo want to go rip some seams out..... I used some of the small mickeys that were in the corner of the hankerchief, but didn't think to repeat some of the big ones, now that I see yours again it so makes me want to add more of those to mine. It looks so pretty and your daughter looks beautiful in it! Thanks again for the great fabric substitution idea.... I would have never thought to use those (nor would I have ever noticed them in HL).
:lovestruc Aww you are too sweet. I say LEAVE your dress alone, it is ADORABLE just the way it is. Your daughter looks so sweet in it.:goodvibes

Wow that is a blast from the past - I wanted Joci to get her first cut there. then DH teased that she looked like a little jungle boy.
'cause her is her before during and after.

Awww what a little cutie pie. I love the pics!!!

SO cute! LOVE that shirt!!!! I bet he'd look adorable in a Mickey bowling shirt too!;)

Beautiful!!!!

Too adorable!!! Love the dress too!



I made 3 tunics today-I haven't had a chance to take photos yet. I haven't sewn since May so it felt good to actually get something done! I still have high hopes of making a few things before my trip but my ticker is getting mighty small.....
:rotfl2: You are TOO funny about that bowling shirt. He probably would look ADORABLE in one but I am still too scared to try one. Maybe someone will want to get rid of one that no longer fits their little boy...LOL.....:lmao:

Hahahah....seriously though, thanks for all the sweet comments. I wanna see pics of your tunics!!!!

He looks sooooooooo cute! I'm sorry about his head, though. When DS got his forehead glued (both times) they needed half the ER staff and I had to sit down (and I'm a nurse, but it means nothing when it's one of my kiddos)



The dress is adorable, but the pics are completely priceless!
Awwww I am sorry to hear your DS had to be glued twice. I know what you mean.....definitely hard when it's your own baby!!! Thanks so much for the sweet comments!!

Okay so he is just adorable ! sorry about his boo boo ..

That is one adorable outfit and lil Girl to boot
:cloud9: Thank you so much!!!!

What about making some nursing shirts?????

Look at that little cutie pie!! I'm sorry he bonked his head!

I'm just so happy that you can share these pictures now!!!!! :yay::yay::yay::yay:
:lovestruc Thanks Teresa!!!! I am glad I can show him off a little now. Hahahaha.
 

OK, So I am going to put a few pics from our trip a 2 weeks ago and 1 from my baby girls B-Day. No real great outfits here so feel free to skim on by!! I will probably post a couple more as I find the pics in the other outfits.

This is my babies 1st B-Day obligatory Cake shot!!

Cute! I did some stuff with t-shirts on my blog, but I started with Carla's raglan pattern so it would fit my daughter exactly right (math is totally not my thing). I would definitely recommend it.

Thanks for posting your blog tutorial ~ my ds was just asking to have the P/F t-shirt from Target. I'm not keen on graphic t-shirts for every day wear, but I always let him wear them as pj's so I got Carla C's easy fit pants pattern for bottoms. But now that I see how to do a lettuce hem (I ALWAYS wondered how that was down) dd can get a girlied version of matching pj's.
 
I am planning on having a few changes with me at each park...I would hate to have a custom made and sitting at the rental house when the character shows up at the park...so you put yours in a bag? I was thinking of bringing a hanging bag! :confused3


LOL Cindy

I feel the same way about the costumes. It would kill me to have something along on the trip, but back at the hotel when I find the right character!

I wish I had something better, but I just have a big tote bag, and fold everything up and put it inside each morning. I've done a lot of research on who I am likely to see where, and hope for the best. I"ve carted that dang Mary Poppins costume all over looking for her penguin, but no luck so far..... We also do a lot of character meals, and you usually have a pretty good idea who you'll find there.
 
ATTENTION CUSTOMAHOLICS

I think I'm becoming a "customaholic" :) I want to make about 10 different things..and we're only there for 8 days!

Do you all put your kids in more than one outfit in a day???? I mean, if you're going to see the princesses in the morning, have them wear a princess dress...and then a different outfit in the afternoon? How many times a day do you change outfit?

I have a custom Ariel, and custom Belle coming. I just received a darling Animal Kingdom Minnie outfit. I ordered some twirl thing on oh..can't say it right? "voldermart"? I am making a snow white dress, hopefully a cinderella...maybe feliz pattern...hopefully something tinkerbell..a couple pillowcase dresses using jham's tutorial...a bright cheery disney'ish patchwork twirl..oh I'm sure there's more.

We do not have enough days to wear them all!!

Julie
Yup you are addicted!
We only do one custom a day because i am not carrying them! My kids are 9 and almost 7 so no strollers here.
WELCOME TO THE ADDICTION!Seriously, we planned a sorta spur of the moment trip that is coming up in two weeks. I said we weren't gonna make plans, and I wasn't going to sew. Well, guess what? Yep. We have ADR's (but just a few), and I've been sewing. Just can't help it!
I so knew you would do a few! I can't wait to see all your pictures!

I have lurked off and on this thread for a few months and I have finally finished two dresses for our Disney trip!!!

I think the bag is cute. Not sure what else other then a purse but that would be the same amount of time I would think.

Looks like you had a great trip ad HAPPY bday to your little one!
 
I have the pattern and I love it BUT I wanted to make it bigger in height so I was thinking I would add a few inches to the top of it?
The pattern is kind of a half circle...

What do you guys think?
 
I just wanted to thank everyone for the compliments on Grace and her new white dress. I hope she doesn't cry for her pictures on the beach. This will be our third summer in a row going to Gulf Shores Alabama. We take a family picture on the beach. The first year I was pregnant for Grace. I had her a week after we came home. She was born three weeks early. I think a white dress will look nice on the beach.

Very cute dress! You can't go wrong with a pretty white dress for beach pictures....
 
I finally made a topstitch that did not make me cringe! I debated on how long I sahould make the stitch, but decided on as long as I could make it. I figured it would take less time to rip it out that way!On everything I have done, I have had to rip out the topstitching at least twice...and I still wasn't happy with it. This time I left in the first try!

I have now finished 3 sets out of 7 sets of dresses for my girls and have number 4 on my table now. As soon as my camera and I are both charged up I can attempt to post pictures again.

Again, thanks for the tip! I couldn't have done it without you!

Nini Morris
 
Yes, I made them all. My favorite thing in the world to do is making Disney princess gowns...... I'm working on all new stuff for our fall trip......

Well. they are simply AMAZING!!!!:worship: Your little girl is very lucky to have a mom that can sew like you!

That dress is adorable! I actually work for a photographer (who is famous in the world of photographers for children's photography and natural light photography) and he does beach pictures every summer for people and we always recommend they wear white so I think you made a great choice. That dress will be perfect for the beach! Make sure you post some beach pics for us to see. :)

I think the idea of a backback or totebag is great; there's always stuff you have to bring to work with you. I also thing a stethescope cover in the same fabric would be awesome!

I thought shirts for work woud be a cute idea too!
 

Poor baby, he can match Jeanne's Luke, who fell and needed stitches when they went camping. Great job on the mickey polo!


Still love this!


Hysterical! I have a few that look like the second and Teresa always asked me what I have done to her. Sooo cute, your beach pictures are going to be gorgeous!

th_DisneyVacationPictures2006417.jpg



QUESTION ALERT : when sewing on "Minnie Dot" fabrics do you use the background color thread or do you use white thread?

Cute cute cute! I love the mickey ears hat!

I use red thread (the background color). I try to match the thread as closely as I can to what the majority of the fabric is.

I know this was asked, but I didn't see the answer - how do you applique the Princesses' eyes/facial features? I used to fabric paint years ago - so I may end up painting faces for a while!

Here are the dresses - I altered a Simplicity Daisy Kingdom pattern for this!


th_095.jpg

A lot of people hand sew the face features. I buy pillowcases with princesses on them and avoid the issue altogether! :lmao: I have used a fabric marker when doing animal faces though.

Your daughters are beautiful as are the dresses! Welcome!

We also do a lot of character meals, and you usually have a pretty good idea who you'll find there.

We ran into the penguins purely by chance behind the castle a few years ago. Haven't seen them before or since. I already had your photo account bookmarked because I look at your beautiful creations all the time!


Cute outfits and beautiful baby!
 
Those are just adorable!

Thank you.

I have lurked off and on this thread for a few months and I have finally finished two dresses for our Disney trip!!! Thanks to all of the inspiration here, I have dusted off my sewing machine and remembered how much enjoyment there is in sewing!!

OK these PJ's were so cute I went and hit Hobby Lobby's $0.99 Simplicity sale, and got that pattern!!

Thanks Good job getting it on sale and everything.

Aw, poor little man. Both of my boys had to have stitches in their heads before they turned 3. My oldest needs to be held down by 1/2 the ER staff, and my youngest just sits there and gives the Dr. the most evil stare possible while being sewn up.

Sorry...me again. LOL. I just had to share a few more pictures. These were taken last December. This is "Little Houdini" getting his very first haircut at the Main Street Barbershop!!! He LOVED it!!!!! Not the best picrtures, but I just love them anyway.

Wow that is a blast from the past - I wanted Joci to get her first cut there. then DH teased that she looked like a little jungle boy.
'cause her is her before during and after.

QUESTION ALERT : when sewing on "Minnie Dot" fabrics do you use the background color thread or do you use white thread?

She is too cute, not jungle boy looking at all.

OK, So I am going to put a few pics from our trip a 2 weeks ago and 1 from my baby girls B-Day. No real great outfits here so feel free to skim on by!! I will probably post a couple more as I find the pics in the other outfits.

This is my babies 1st B-Day obligatory Cake shot!!

Happy Birthday to your little one, and great AK outfits.
 
Got a little Tinkerbell dress finished last night.

 
We ran into the penguins purely by chance behind the castle a few years ago. Haven't seen them before or since. I already had your photo account bookmarked because I look at your beautiful creations all the time!

Many thanks! I'm hard at work for new stuff for our fall trip. The Mary Poppins costume is now too small, but I'm making a new one to drag all over creation. Do you know how mad I will be when I finally find them if I DON'T have that costume with me???? :rotfl2::rotfl2:

Behind the castle would be awesome! My big dream is to find Mary and the penguins on the carousel one day. We have awesome pics with Mary and Bert, but a girl can dream, right??????
