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

[teresajoy]

Threw this together from bandanas for my godchild. It was so easy..

This is a really cute dress.

I made my first applique! We've always called Ava our little piggy because she was born year of the pig on the Chinese calender (my husband's half Chinese). We're not really into the zodiac stuff, but her Chinese relatives always send her piggy jewelry and things so it kind of caught on. Anyway, so, appropriately, I made her a piggy applique. The dress is just a t-shirt dress (is that what you call it? Where you sew a skirt onto an old t-shirt?). I just wanted to do something simple in case the applique didn't turn out. I think I'm happy with it, though!

Oh my!!That is a wonderful job!!!! I love the little story too.

I think that Giselle dress is one of my favorite princess dresses ever. I haven't even seen Enchanted either.. lol
That picture of HeatherSue and Sawyer is just hilarious.. oh my goodness!
I love Tessa's dress as well. That has been on my to-do list for my someday DW trip.

Thanks!!! You need to see the movie, it's one of our favorites!

Yes, I should have enough material to overlap it and put snaps (I was already thinking I will at least need to put darts in...because of her various bust/waist/hip sizes, it's been a nightmare sizing it all and getting it to fit right.

I had the zipper foot in but I was still having problems with the zipper "slipping" along the edge...then, I'm half done and realize, DUH I have it in backward...and then to top it all off, I'm seam ripping it out and I cut the zipper!!! NUTS TO THIS! Especially on something she will wear ONCE!

Try a glue stick to help put in the zipper (directions in the bookmarks)

Okay I'm so nervous to share these but here is what I have so far. I started with a pattern and that lasted about 10 minutes THen I went off on my own. It also changed from all in one piece dress, to a skirt with a bodice (with the overskirt attached to the bodice). All I really have left to do is close up the back. I would guess this is now about the equivalent of a women's 12 or so.

The "dress" together:

Great job!

I have not been in the sewing mood but the bug bit me again two days ago. I made Lauren a Sophie Tunic to match mine (I made mine a few weeks ago):

I made my sister a Patricia tunic also (no model - too big for me to try on and sister lives a few hours away): Lauren wants you to see her hot pink toes!

I loved the fabric in my sisters tunic so I went a bought more to make something for Lauren. I was inspired by Shannon's Chinese doll dress and EPCOT story:

Wrap top and easy fit pants from Youcanmakethis.com

I have one more Patricia tunic to make for my mother before Sunday.

These are great Stacey! Tell Lauren I love her toes!

Teresajoy empty your PM's (Please)

Sorry! I just did it.

Thanks so much to disneylovinfamily and jham for the petti pictures!!! I finally got Hannah to see how much more of a diva she will be with one, and now she wants one!!

Had to share these with y'all...we were at Dollar General/ Family Dollar today and they had these "fake" hair ponies...Hannah wanted two! They were only $1! I put her hair in piggies, braided it, wrapped it in a bun, and then put the fake hair twisties around. We added some Disney bows, and Voila! I love how cute and curly it looks with NO fuss at all (I know some of you have little beauties with naturally curly hair, but my little Diva needs some help in that department!) She loved it! They are actually a lot poofier and cuter in "real life" than the pics. We'll be taking them on our trip now. (Of course she had to have a silly picture, too, to go with her portraits)

I feel like such the drama queen of this thread

Could you please say a prayer for me so God gives me peace and for all this blackness to lift from my soul....to give me strength and show me the light...

Already was sweety!

I will remember that, sorry I did ask the owner if it was okay to post this pic, not sure if that makes a difference or not? But I will behave, I swear!

If you asked, that's fine!

I think that looks great!!!! You did a great job and without a pattern, too!

You can pm Jennwdw and she will give you a good suggestion. She is away this weekend though.

Thank you so much!!!!

I love, love this outfit!!! The appliques are gorgeous. The fabric that you used are perfect for the dress.

I really like the pink and black look. Someone help me convince my hubby that my dd NEEDS a petti!!

I need to keep an eye out for this when I go to the dollar store...my dd would love something like that. Her hair is soooo straight.

Here is a Transformers outfit I made for Kyle to wear at his bday party in a few weeks.

Yes that boy must make a face in EVER picture!

I think YCMT has a tutorial for zippers. I can put one in great, and the next one is crap.

My 4 year old son wants a new nap mat for the start of his final year in preschool. Only he doesn't want just any mat, he wants either a Hook or a Pirates of the Caribbean one. I made him a Wall-E for this past year, and it was a hit among all his school friends. I just can't seem to find any fabric with Hook or POC on it. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on any? I would need about 1 1/2 yards. I would be happy with cute pirate fabric because I could alway do a Hook or POC design on the blanket that goes with it. Thanks!

In my area, we have a Hancocks, but it is a very small one with much more Home Deco than anything else and a Hobby Lobby. That's it! There is a Wal-Mart not too far, but they don't have either of the fabrics I just mentioned.

I think I've seen some POC at Hancocksonline. I think there are some sheets if you can't find fabric at Oh, I think I saw some at Tabberones.

These look really good. I wonder if Kirsta would want to try this. She hates to brush her hair and it always looks matty.

Aww thanks hon!! She said to give Miss Missy a hug right back!

Okay ladies (and Tom) had to share this awesome find with y'all, especially those who are doing anything Pirate Princessy this fall:

Isn't this to DIE for? Yes, it is a Mickey Pirate Princess fringe bracelet!!!! I was thinking about getting one for the girls and decided NO I WANT IT FOR MYSELF!!!

If I remember right it's okay to post links to stuff you aren't selling yourself here (I have nothing to do with the sale of this item, its creation, or the artist responsible) but I still feel a little weird just posting it, I really don't want to even come close to breaking any rules. Can I just say PM me if you want more info and I can point you in the right direction?

I love this type of bracelet. I keep trying to get my sister to make me or the kids one. I even bought a bunch of the Disney Princesses and I'm still waiting.

LOL. No big deal

I thought the outcome was that we needed to have the owners permission, which she did.

I finished Hayleigh's Disney dog outfit. (THank you HeatherSue for the design!). I also revamper he pirate dress by adding a minnie pirate applique to it.

Okay, you do know about the garden they create during the flower and garden show at Epcot, its on the right as you enter world showcase and the theme is Disney dogs...
this is adorable btw!

You are NOT a drama queen, I suspect you are too hard on yourself and face challenges your your life and I know God will lend you strength to get through them. Sending you loving thoughts.

So Im excited- I had Megan try on the petti I bought for her during the winter and she was having fun twirling, she took it off after about 10 min, but when Daddy woke up from his nap, she put it back on to show him and she wants to wear it to Disney World AND it happens to be the same colors as her favorite princess- sleeping beauty- light pink fluff and hot pink layers.

Not that I will be starting it for a while- but what is the best Sleeping Beauty pattern to use??? I own the famous cinderella one and a toddler version of that, but this will either be a 2T or 3T....suggestions welcome! I hope a petti works under it, rather than a slip and then my other concern is how hot it will be and how much of a challenge it will be to pack that petti!

Oh and it's a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and it's a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay! A new princess! I see matchy sister outfits in T's future...

I got "treasure island" fabric from Hobby Lobby a while ago; not sure if they're still there... I'm on a fabric fast. But it looked just like Capt. Jack

Love the outfit! That applique is great- I better hide the pic from DS or he'll want one too!

I have psoriatic arthritis. Was first diagnosed with JA when I was 6. In my 30's I got worse and after several months of tests it ws determined I had PA. In the beginning stages it effects the extremities mainly. It has now progressed to my upper spine.

I started taking Enbrel about 5 or 6 years ago. There was a dramatic difference within a few weeks. Four years ago I lost my job (and the great insurance that came with it) With just my husband's insurnce the co pay was several hundred dollars, so I had to quit taking it.

I have been working with my doctor to get back on it for 6 months! I am so excited to have it again, especially since I only have to have one injection a week instead of two!

I hope it helps your husband as much as it has helped me in the past!

Nini

Ohh goodness! I'm sorry you've had so much issue with pain for so long. But thank goodness you now can get the Enbrel again. Sounds like (for you) it really makes a huge difference. And I know it can be very pricey without good insurance coverage. so I'm happy you can get it now!

I have a question - I see many dresses that have huge pix of princesses on them and I think I read on one post that they were used from pillow cases. So can someone tell me how you put the pillowcase pix onto the dresses? Or is there a tutorial somewhere? Is it hard or easy? I am NOT a sewer but am hoping to learn one of these days and am now gathering information to find out if it's something that I think I'd really be able to focus my attention on. THANKS!!

Someone already said it, but I'll repeat, look for sheets on .

Quick question... for anyone who has made the waterbottle holders...I am getting ready to try one for our August trip. Does anyone have any words of advice, such as what fabric works best, etc. Thanks!

for the new little!

I think someone already mentioned Alexander Henry's Treasure Island print but one of the pirates looks a lot like Capt. Jack Sparrow. Here's a photo:

BTW - fabricshack dot com has it for a really good price right now - $4.98 per yard. They only have 4 yards left so it will likely sell fast. They have 2 versions of the print (other only has 2.5 yards left) but I can't tell the difference.

I finally finished all 7 tees and 2 patchwork twirls for our first day at the MK!

and here are the skirts modeled. I have had these done for a while but the girls never actually put them on till today go figure...good thing they fit!

And some twirling shots...

Oh and someone asked for a close-up for easier casing...lol! This ensemble was definately cased....thank you disboutiquers!!!! so feel free to recase!

This was the adult tee...I applied stablizer underneath. I opened up the side seams. I attached the two ribbons with a few rows of straight stitches. Closed up the side seams. I had heat/bond lite applied to the back of the Minnie head and bow, so I ironed them on the middle front. Then zig-zagged the edges! Finally, I added a daisy and its done! Easy Peasy!
