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

[MiniGirl]

What pattern is this dress? It's super cute!

That is an Anna pattern from Farbenmix with a double ruffle on the bottom. I love Aimee's Wicked outfit, and love that she added the ruffle. The pattern can also be found on Etsy.

Since we're getting inspired for Halloween and Christmas themed creations, I took a look through my photos. I actually don't have any of something specifically Halloween themed - I know I've made a few but I guess I never took photos for some reason. Anyway, here are some that I think are great for Halloween:



I did get photos of most of the Christmas themed creations before they left home.

Lisa, those are stunning! I can bring the Disney costumes to life, and actually did make the Queen of Hearts and Christmas Cinderella costumes last year, but my jaw dropped when I saw the custom sets you did...... And the evil queen...... wanna trade some stuff?????????

Well, my wish is to have white lace-up boots. I would need a girls size 2 or 3. If I don't find those, I would settle for white low to medium heel boots, but not patent leather. I found some of those last year when I started looking, but they looked more like go-go boots.

My other alternative would be to shave a bit of my daughter's foot off, but so far that's gotten a lukewarm reception....

If anyone sees any, I would love to hear about it!

Have you looked at wooden soldier? I haven't seen their catalog recently, I think they are online now too, but I remember boots similar to those.

Who was asking about Halloween customs? Here are the 2 I made last year. (Sorry the pictures are all different sizes!)

Daisy dressed as Minnie

wow!

I made these last year....

I haven't started on this year's yet.

This was last year's Halloween....

I love the holidays, and can't wait to get started. I haven't sewn much lately. I was having trouble with my eyes and had to wait for an eye appointment and my glasses to come in. I'm still getting used to them, but hope to be back in full swing soon.

Here are my Halloween-

And My Christmas-

I'm loving all these holiday outfits.

Woo hoo! I just ordered PED Basic so I'm a step closer to being able to do some fancier fonts and new designs. I'm so glad I saw the post someone made about using a coupon to order it online from JoAnns. (Thanks to whomever posted that... it saved me more than $50!!!) I always assumed I couldn't use a coupon since it specifically excludes sewing machines and sewing machine department but it worked. My goal is to be caught up as much as possible on sewing before it arrives so I can download the Embird trial to play with.

My 1st real multi-pieced applique from a coloring page. It is a tshirt for DS. He hasn't seen it. I'll let him see it when he wakes up in the morning.

I'm getting there. It is much better than my last one. I need to put a Mickey Ghost on DD Halloween dress & then to try a Marie. I think that I'm going to use fleece for her fur.

I think it looks fantastic! I haven't even tried to do anything like that yet. I'd be thrilled if I made that.

Marah text me this afternoon asking if I can please ask you all to pray for her girls. Something happend on their trip and it is not going so well. I think if we all send so pixi dust that way it just might help. Nothing seems to be going right for them. Thank you for your help thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope things start looking up.

wow!

I actually did look last year and they had a pair, but the were more of a cream color, and I needed white. VERY expensive, but I SO would have done it anyway...

Thanks for the reminder. I'll look again and hope they do it in white this year!!

Mom2rtk - what about these boots??

http://www.costumeshoes.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_55_61&products_id=370


A friend teaches high school drama (like they need it, lol) and there are many places that sell costume/period clothing for the theater.


Everyone's Christmas and Halloween outfits are adorable!!! I need to learn how to multiquote!!!

 

[karebear1]

Cindee resolved it for Heather, but not me. I'm still on the lookout for one. At this point, we don't have a medical condition that needs anything. But, I will certainly keep that in mind if anything comes up!

HEY!! If you wanna squeeze me into your room, I can be your medical excuse for a fridge! I have several medical issues you could pick from too! This could really work out!

I just ordered and paid..... now it's time for finger crossing...... my friends have been laughing at me for a long time over my weird obsession over finding more boots......

Now all I have to do is remake the Mary costume in the larger size......

I'll keep you posted!!

I saw a scrub top at WalMart that I really wanted for the fabric, but only about 1/3 of the top used the fabric and the rest was solid color. I just couldn't spend $20 for that little of fabric... of course as our trip gets closer and I start doing more sewing for the trip I may change my mind

Sunday we went to the Dog Show... here's my daughter in the complete outfit I posted a couple of weeks ago. And she loved the hat! Wouldn't take it off and has worn it ever evening since.

I'm hosting a giveaway on my blog as part of a Pay It Forward Giveaway. Please stop by and enter (drawing ends Sunday night)

I know what you mean about the cost of the scrub top. I prob. wouldn't have bought the Tink one if it weren't on Clearance.

That outfit is adorable. How sweet that she wouldn't take the hat off.

Great job. I really have to get practicing at that, my boys would love something like that.

Tell her we are thinking of her and praying things get better.

Oh no, I hope everyone is all right; I am praying now. Please let her know we're supporting them and sending pixie dust.

Sorry I didn't post on more of the halloween things; they are all absolutely fabulous! But I couldn't see the pics last night when I was on those pages I'm just seeing them in the quotes now...

Anyway, here's what I did the last couple days (kids are home for summer, so sewing is way slowed down.)

It's not Halloween, but it is a fall dress: my first precious dress; went pretty smoothly when I wasn't trying to sew at 3am; I'm going to shorten the apron a bit. The headband is from the free YCMT pattern, and the fabric just came into Joanns. (I still need to clip some threads on the apron)

and close up of the bodice and headband:

ok; off to rethink halloween; I was just gonna do a tshirt dress and that is so not going to cut it now

 

[tnmom25]

These are my favorites!!!!

That Evil Queen has always been one of my favorites, but that Cinderella O..M..G..!!!!!!!!! It's awesome and I love Tink too!

 

[twob4him]

Awesome creations everyone!!!

Lisa - those are just amazing!

 

[LisaZoe]

WOW! You are amazing! I am always in awe of your creations. Where do you get your designs??? I especially like the CIndy one, Hayleigh would flip for that. Did you use a velour fabric with it?

Thank you! My designs start from a variety of sources, such as clipart, coloring pages, Disney pins, etc. If I can't find exactly what I want, I find one that is close and adjust it as needed. If I remember correctly, that's what I did for this Cindy. I found one of her standing and added the capelet and muff.

The overdress fabric is embroidered corduroy. It's got snowflakes in various sizes all over and some have sequins in the center. I did remove the sequins in the area that would be covered by the applique.

Lisa, those are stunning! I can bring the Disney costumes to life, and actually did make the Queen of Hearts and Christmas Cinderella costumes last year, but my jaw dropped when I saw the custom sets you did...... And the evil queen...... wanna trade some stuff?????????

You gowns are amazing! I wish Zoe was still 'into' that kind of thing but she's basically decided that dresses aren't 'her style'. Luckily I did make a few princess gowns when she was younger so I didn't completely miss the chance. Only one was a specific princess, though, and I didn't even think about special shoes. This was all before I'd ever really heard of 'custom boutique'.

Here are some pictures of my daughter wearing some of Lisas wonderful creations...

Thanks for sharing those! I think I must have missed them before.

Marah text me this afternoon asking if I can please ask you all to pray for her girls. Something happened on their trip and it is not going so well.

Tell Marah we're thinking of her and sending pixie dust their way.

Here is my DD at our fourth of July parade. This pattern was easy and turned out very cute. It is the Faith Double Layer top from youcanmakethis. And of course Samantha had to have a matching outfit, Samantha's outfit was done about 15 minutes before the parade started.

That is really pretty. I love the matching outfits!

I saw a scrub top at WalMart that I really wanted for the fabric, but only about 1/3 of the top used the fabric and the rest was solid color. I just couldn't spend $20 for that little of fabric... of course as our trip gets closer and I start doing more sewing for the trip I may change my mind

That is precious and so is your little one.

Awww...Thanks! Little Man doesn't get as much face time as Emily , does he? I have a fabulous Halloween set in the works and I'm going to make him a matching set too, so he'll get some pictures soon. Here he is recently before and after a trip to the "barber" The hair stylist was amazed by the amount of hair she cut off.

he is growing up too fast! What a handsome cut!

My 1st real multi-pieced applique from a coloring page. It is a tshirt for DS. He hasn't seen it. I'll let him see it when he wakes up in the morning.

I'm getting there. It is much better than my last one. I need to put a Mickey Ghost on DD Halloween dress & then to try a Marie. I think that I'm going to use fleece for her fur.

DD is not allowed to see that as I do not have time to do a phineas shirt! Great job!

Hope all is well with everyone.
