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

[t-beri]

I finished this on Sunday for my dd to wear to a Patriotic Potluck Picnic we hosted at our house for our playgroup. It's an apron dress with Carla's peasant shirt underneath (first time making that pattern, so easy!).

HOW adorable! If the 4th weren't days away I would insist on finding that fabric!! I must admit I was a little lazy and just got whatever I could find at Joann's LOL. But this is the cutest fabric!!! I am going to have to finish Little's 4th outfit tomorrow morning I guess. Good thing I am feeling well.

Steph, LOVE your and Louie's outfits! AND I DO think you need a matching bag LOL.

Hello friends!

You would think that I have been getting things done left and right since I have no husband or kids this week but there has been a lot of lazing around. I did manage to make an easy peasy disney outfit for a friend's son:

And I saw someone on youcanmakethis lengthened the tunic into a dress and I had to copy it. Would you like to see the inside of my bathroom?

It was pretty easy but it's a little difficult to get on and off, I am just biding my time until the adult peasant dress comes out!

I am so excited for all of you who have upcoming disney trips, planning outfits is so much fun!

LOVE the dress! Seeing your avatar again reminded me that you made some xmas outfits for your son. Could you post a few again? I'm looking for inspiration for DS8 for December when he and DH take a father/son trip. I love the bowling shirt pattern, but it takes me so long to do that I can't bear to make that many of them. If anyone else has some good ideas, please post. Also, does anyone know when the Disney xmas fabric starts coming out?

I need 2 little girls so I can make stepsister outfits! I love Sophee's dress Aimee! And cute back to school stuff and everything else. I finally took pictures and mailed off Mya's Dora outfit yesterday. The tee shirt is to match some pj pants Nikki is making for her.

I really like that peek a boo skirt. I don't think I had ever seen it before.

Cute Disney outfit. And I really like the tunic as a dress. Very flattering.

Love the shot in the mirror. I made myself a sundress today with some preshirred, and was wondering how I was going to get a pic.

Cute boys outfit! LOVE your dress!!!!!!! You need a bag to match.

So, are you sending it to her????

[Jennia]

That is adorable! I love the fabrics you used!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! I hope you have a great time!


The Mickey outfit is adorable! Girl...you are SMOKIN' hot in that dress! I love it! I have thought about buying that fabric tons of times, but never had anything to make for myself with it!!


That is so funny! The bag is beautiful!



Oooh!! I love the old fashioned looking print on the fabric! So cute!

So adorable! Love that fabric too!

Happy anniversary Kira!

T that is so sweet what Lily sad to the baby!
Sorry abut the van.
Hang in there the baby will be here before you know it.
Seriously that midwife needs to get you there and get things going! With Kyle he stayed in never never land until after water broke my mid wife said that is normal with 2nd babies but he was REALLY long so I wonder if he was really high at all. He was over 23 inches.


a new princess! Congratulations!

Both are great!
Is the Dora the peek a boo skirt? I have been itching for that pattern for ever but just can't bring myself to buy it.

Steph you look FABULOUS in that dress! I love it!
The little outfit is great too.
So great. I think that is my favorite purse pattern! I love making them.

Darling!

Thanks, everyone! The fabric came from fabricsgalore in the Americana section.

OT: Does anyone know when they release the hours for Disneyland for October?

I have a pleater. Can't remember which kind, but get some needles for sure! I broke a few just trying to figure it out. When I went to buy more, they pulled out this little plastic baggie of about 10 needles. I asked how much, they said $3. I said OK. The she said, "how many?"- $3 for EACH needle!

Now I remember, it is Amanda Jane, I think, something Jane for sure.

WOW! Goodness! I wouldn't have guessed that those needles cost that much! I guess I need to try to find some!


My review of my first Tiny Nay machine smocking design
I stitched out the 6x10 Fairygodmother set. I totally don't like it. At all. When I took the class at market, we were told to pull out the pleater threads. You have to - they're dark blue on white fabric. As soon as I rinsed the stabilizer away, the whole thing just about fell apart. There's not enough stabilizing stitching in the design.
PLUS, the design is SO dense (it does every stitch 3 times! to look like smocking), that it shreds your thread as it is stitching. When the thing was finished, it was so thick and hard where the stitching was, you couldn't even hardly bend it. There's no way I'd want that against my daughter's skin!
PLUS, I got to the very last color in the design, and for some reason, the whole design was off. SO, it didn't stitch out correctly. Of course, this only occurs after already stitching 20000 stitches!
I'm gonna give the Mickey head a shot and see how it goes. If it isn't so great, then I'm not sure I'll be buying any more designs from this designer.

I saw some xmas fabric in joanns, so I bet it won't be long (yes, I bought some!).

I only made him two things especially for that trip. I copied someone here and made trees on sweatshirts with mickey head scrapbooking buttons.

And I made family shirts for all of us with mickey heads with santa hats. I did a regular mickey head and added a santa hat with flannel and a little bit of fun fur. My favorite part was the jingle bell!

Boys are hard to sew for! Let's see what else I have. I made him a pirate outfit:

He designed this outfit for animal kingdom completely on his own:

The little animals are buttons, it's supposed to be the tree of life.

I made this for a big give, it is cars fabric and an initial t-shirt:

And my favoritist epcot shirt I copied from someone here:

I wanted to make him space shorts to match his sister's skirt but was told no.

I hope this gives you a couple of ideas!

Doesn't he look so cute and little with the shorter hair? If I make him cut it will he be little again?

as at the last minute I decided to add a princess sundress for Mya's give.

I asked my husband and kids if they knew what princess it was and they both said they had no idea of course I keep a picture of the disney princesses on my wall ( for inspiration) and they still could not place which one it was.....so my question is

does this dress says sleeping beauty to you? it is all pin down to show you how it is to look, and I did not have any other pink color in my stash! I do have the regular princesses cotton print fabric,, maybe I should just make a regular sundress in the princess fabric????? It has to go in the mail in the morning....Thanks

Lost a quote. Who did the Dora outfit? That was really cute. I love peek a boo skirts!

This is really pretty! Love the fabric choices. what a pretty model too!

That came out really pretty! Love the fabric combination. I really need a new dress...but waiting patiently forthe peasant one!

Cute boys outfit! LOVE your dress!!!!!!! You need a bag to match.

Okay Steph...you need this bag!

I immediately thought Aurora before you even said. I think it's great!!!

 

[mom2prettyprincess]

This is so cute...I am thinking of doing a peek-a-boo skirt for our trip.

This is PERFECT!!! I have to finish up my pillowcase and it will go out on Friday.

And I saw someone on youcanmakethis lengthened the tunic into a dress and I had to copy it. Would you like to see the inside of my bathroom?

That dress is great! As is the fabric choice.

That bag is sooo cute, I would love to try purses...but think I should stick to the basics for awhile.

This dress is so cute that fabric is to die for! I grew up in a town called Independence and our 4th of July motto is "Everybody observes the 4th of July, we CELEBRATE it! And we always get new 4th outfits around here.

I have a pleater but find it easier to have the smocking shop pleat it for me. No more frustration or broken needles

Linnette-
this is sooo beautiful and absolutely says sleeping beauty!!! Any little girl would love to have it!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I wish I could whip up things as fast as everyone else. I'm learning though! Ugh! I just want to go buy more and more fabric!

 

[Tinker_]

I made this one for Sawyer a little over a year ago. I can't believe how little he looks in these pictures!

Here are my notes on the pattern and modifications I used:
Jacket: Simplicity 9862, style C. I shortened the jacket and straightened the bell shape at the bottom. I left off the ruffles, the ascot, and the stripe down the middle and shortened the sleeves. Then, I added embellishments. Pants: McCalls 4283, style F. I then added a stripe. Any simple pants pattern would work. CarlaC's easy fit pants would be great

You can kind of see how I did the shoulder things in this one. I just bought the braiding and glued it onto the shoulder in 2 strips. I had a really hard time working with that braiding!
QUOTE]

I have versions:
This is my nephew, I used a halloween pattern, with the Chef's. And pretty much just put a belt on it.

This was for a Big Give. I used an old halloween pattern I had.

In both cases, I just zigzaged the fringe on at the shoulder seams. And I used the Easy fit Pant on YCMT and put yellow twill tape down the leg.

Thank you both SOOOO much! I appreciate it more than you know! For some reason I never thought about using shorts!!

No doubt in my mind that it is Aurora (or as my kids call her, Rose - the name the fairies gave her).

Totally says SB to me as well. Usually I think of SB w/ a deeper pink but the dress is spot on.

PIRATE MICKEY QUESTION???

In the bookmarks there are directions for a pirate mickey head (dates back to 2007) but no pictures of this particular design. Dreamer & wisher, do you still have photos? I would love to see how you did it. THANKS

BTW, I'm working on a Chery Williams baby bubble and what a pain in the you know what it is. I've gotten so used to (spoiled) Carla C's patterns. Plus its been a long time since I made one of CW's patterns. UGH. Its a complete guessing game. It is not for the faint of heart or new sewer. I ended up ripping out the bubble placket and redoing it the way Carla does it on the Precious dress.

Now I know with hand smocking you have to back smock the back of the insert. I would think the same would be true a machine smocked insert. Otherwise the pleats would fall apart.

I ordered three inserts from her. I have never made anything with them for a reason.

Okay Steph...you need this bag!

Thank you! That was the most normal face I got out of her after five tries, lol! I almost posted one of the others just because I thought it was silly but then decided against it.

This is PERFECT!!! I have to finish up my pillowcase and it will go out on Friday.

Thanks! My dh told me it's the best thing I've ever done, but he's also super patriotic (his dad was in the army).

I think those look pretty, why haven't you made anything with them?

 

[aimeeg]

You can tell the borders are not level, the pleats are wonky and the stitching does not line up. In Dumbo's ear the pink and gray do not meet. The border runs in the base of Dumbo. The bottom border is the same for Tink. Sleeping Beauty is the best but the borders are not straight. I am a little OCD when it come to things being level. It's a gift and a curse!
