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

[ireland_nicole]

How about one of the Lego Indiana Jones from Stitch on Time? That on a tshirt would be quick and easy.

I love that idea, but can't find it; can you possibly post a link or let me know what it's listed under? Thank you so much!


ETA: found it, but it's too big; ugh, I'm ordering the bigger hoop soon, but won't have it in time :L(

Smocking pics- please feel free to breeze right past this post.

My favorite project- please ignore the red stain (I mean, really, who gives a toddler RED powerade when they are wearing a custom smocked outfit!!! not that I am still bitter or anything)

And one more. I am so sad that my boys are too big for smocking now

This one never got finished- so it hasn't even been worn! It has fine wale courdory green pants to match

OK, close ups- don't laugh!
This is back smocking- the white stitches that run across the piece. the green pleating threads are still in the piece as well. That is usually the very last thing that I do- remove them- as in, I removed the peter pan ones while I was in our room before going to the park!!

And the front. You can see a bit of my backsmocking on the front (well, you can see that it holds it all together.

Oooh!! Love your smocking! I love to smock too. The back is supposed to look like that! It is very neat compared to some that I have made. That is why they are all lined..
Can you tell me where you got the smocking plate for the first one???
Your cable stitches are perfect! I still can't get mine to look perfect. You are really talented!

I was just wondering how many of you (especially new sewers who havent developed a big stash), would be interested in sewing kits? You would get a pattern with excellent directions, fabric to make one or two outfits (after that you would have to buy your own), and notions like thread or interfacing or buttons or whatever. You would get the whole thing put together in one kit...no extra shopping or trying to find what you need! What do you all think??? I really value your opinions and thoughts and ideas! Thanks!!!

This is very common in smocking stuffs.. In the magazines you buy you can buy a kit. The problem is the kits are much more expensive than if you were to just buy the fabrics yourself. Some of the higher end magazines have fabric printed just for them so that you can not buy the fabric except in the kit.
While at Martha Pullen I took a class with Lorene Bonewitz. She has a business that sells kits with popular patterns. Her prices seem much more reasonable to me that Sew Beautiful Magazine!
She uses good fabric too. http://www.sewitup.com/ I've been meaning to post that link so revrob could see it. She and I took a separate class for that session. I don't think I have ever seen anyone do this on etsy or anything like that so you may get good business there doing this.

Crying happy tears for you! He is truly a beautiful boy.

Thank you so much!!!

Hi guys! I am in a hotel room in Toledo, well actually Perrysburg, Ohio. I was down here for a religious convention yesterday, today and tomorrow.Unfortunately, Arminda started feeling sick today, so I had to get my Dad to take us back to our hotel. I'm hoping Arminda feels better soon! Thankfully, Corey brought his laptop, and I figured out his password, so I had something to do! I really don't like the way the keyboard is working on here though, so I can't comment too much.


I'm not going to thumbnail this celebration!!! BETH!!! BETH BETH!!! YOU are posotively GORGEOUS!!! LOOk at you with your FOREVER AND EVER AND AEVER SON!!!!!!!!!! I'm crying so bad ,Arminda is going to think I'm nuts!!!! It's been too long coming sweetheart!!!

Oh no, I sure hope Arminda gets to feeling better real soon. It is definitely not fun to be sick, and even worse when you are far from home!

Aww you are too sweet, making me blush and everything. Thank you for all your kind words!!!! My FOREVER son.....it just sounds so perfect!!!!! Hugs!!!

I am so behind, but just had to tell you how happy I am for you!! I'm crying happy tears for you right now!!

Awww thank you so much!!!!

OH Beth, how did I missed this one, The power of prayers and the never ending love of a mother!!!!!

you have me then

What a beautiful picture!!!! I am so Happy for you!!!!!!! Wishing nothing but blessings to you and your family


Linnette

Awwww, thank you Linnette, yes the power of prayer is truly amazing. I know that for a fact!!!! I have blessed twice now!!!!

I finished out animal kingdom hats. The boys will wear this side in the morning:

With these shirts explorer:

Then they will switch to these:

With patchwork shorts and a mickey head t-shirt. I made a L and and XL, thinking that Coops could wear the L. I think it is too small- the above photos are the XL, this is the L-

And a few of the boys as I have not posted their pics in a while. I am so bummed this one is blurry. It is so hard to catch a good smile

And Jackson acting crazy

Awww there are those handsome little guys! They are so stinkin' cute!!! I love the hats and all the shirts I see....you ROCK girl!!!

I forgot to say, Jackson's pic is pre-beach, and Cooper is post-beach. This is the best post-beach pic I have of Jackson- being a dork enjoying his first BLT sandwich- pure heaven for both boys! He isn't as dark as Coops, but he is quite tan for his pink skin!

He is too cute!!!

Ideally, I'd also find something for legoland that is still cool and boyish, but custom (he's almost 7)

And super ideally, if you could tell me how to not get the shirts to bleed, maybe a transfer for a t-shirt for him and his sis.

Thanks for all your help; I really , really appreciate it!

Uh...this is not going to help you if you need it by Tuesday, but the transfers that Amy Mickey sells do not bleed. They cost a bit more, but the results are so worth it..although she ships very fast, I doublt you would have them in time... it usually takes about 2 days to get them.

Sorry, I just checked to see if I have any left over, but I really don't see how I can get them to you any faster.

I am going to attempt a stripwork twirl skirt to go with Emmy's (my 12 yo who looks 17) hotfix Mulan shirt.

This is the shirt design (I haven't taken a pic of the finished shirt yet):

Emilee picked out these two fabrics (she said the red made her think of cherry blossoms and she insisted on it. I'm not sure this is the exact one but it's close):

Should I leave it at the two fabrics, or add another one? I was kinda thinking of this one but was worried it might be too busy:

Here are some others she liked, maybe one of these would work if I need to add?

I really like her transfers too and have never had one bleed. But I don't see how you would get them in time. I did buy some from walmart a little less then a year ago. They did not bleed and it says to wash in cold water and I didn't even do that. Although they aren't nearly as nice as AmyMickey's. They worked for me in a pinch and we weren't going to wear the shirts again (atleast I didn't think so ).

 

[minnie2]

Here is the complete outfit. I accidently hit the wrong button before getting all my pics in one post.

Really cute! Love the extra fluff.

I finished Violette's 4th outfit last night. It had been so long since I last sewed. It took me more time than I thought. I made the hat this morning. It's my 1st pageboy. I was rushed for time and didn't put a liner in it..oh well. Today is probably the only day she'll wear that one anyway. The capris are just ones I got from Old Navy. If the darn top hadn't taken so long, I would've made her some shorts

So cute I have been planning on making that top for ages now but haven't gotten around to it.

Happy 4th everybody! I hope everyone is enjoying today. I took the kids to the parade in the next town over this morning...2 1/2 parade! Lots and lots of candy...the kids had a blast. DH has to work today...I hate retail for that reason...he never ever gets to be off on holidays! Tomorrow we get to celebrate 9 years of wedded bliss...which means I get The Melting Pot! YUM!

Take care all! I think I may go do some sewing now...I really hate to mess up my very pretty sewing room! But I have not sewn since we got back.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Simply darling.

Still pregnant. Tomorrow is her due date, I'm hoping she'll have the baby then! Just cause I think it is cool when people have their baby on the due date! I did with Corey and my Mom did with David. She can be part of our club!

How is Arminda today?
Kyle was born on his due date too but frankly I wished like crazy he was part of the early club like his sister!

Here we go, this morning's bike parade:

Easy Fit Pants made into shorts (I take 2 inches off the top otherwise the shorts would be up to G's armpits) and headband by me. Shirt by walmart.

Okay, didn't make anything here but I didn't want to leave him out!

Around 1am last night I appliqued 3 stars to a onsie for the babe. Bad picture, I'll try to get a better one later!

Here is the Vida I used to make the tutorial (yet to come).

and the back:

The city parade is this evening. Phew, I'm tired.

Great pictures all the kids look so cute. I do that same with the easy fit shorts For us the crotch hangs WAY to low if I don'.

Good afternoon everyone!! I hope you are all having a great time. I totally miss my kid. I was really bummed when I didn't get to take her to the parade here in town. Tonight Im going to see the fireworks with my good friend and her son. I might run to the fabric store, and grab some fabric before I got there and make a bowling shirt for him to wear. I have some left over but not enough.

I did whip up this twirl dress. I have had this fabric cut out for long time. and the fabric is from a few years ago. I wish I would have gotten a lots more at the time. I just love it.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Off to chatch up on the last few pages!

Sorry you are missing Georgia. The dress is very pretty.

I forgot to say, Jackson's pic is pre-beach, and Cooper is post-beach. This is the best post-beach pic I have of Jackson- being a dork enjoying his first BLT sandwich- pure heaven for both boys! He isn't as dark as Coops, but he is quite tan for his pink skin!

The smocking is gorgeous! LOVE THEM!
the pictures of your boys are adorable too. I had to laugh at the BLT pic with the thumbs up. Kyle does that all the time too. I wonder if it is a 6 yr old boy thing?

I love all the the outfits posted! So cute.

I am having a rough day. DH and I got into an argument.

We made up but now I can't find my dog. She is 12 years old, blind and diabetic and needs her thyroid pill and insulin shot.
She is terrified of fireworks and my neighbors have been firing off fireworks all day. We have searched the house and yard too.

Please say a prayer that she is just hiding somewhere we haven't thought of and I find her soon.

Sorry about fighting with you DH but I am so glad you made up.

I pray you find your puppy.

dreamer and wisher; so sorry to hear about your day, sending pixie dust and hoping you find your furbaby soon.
HELP
Sorry to shout, but I really, really need y'alls help. Went to a friends 4th party and found out her sister and family are leaving for their Disneyland Make a Wish trip Wednesday- say what? They are actually active on the disboards, and had been planning the trip for a while, but then their little guy was in the hospital for over a month and it looked like they might have to cancel. Now they've gotten cleared to go, but with no time to spare. So I need ideas, people; I really want to make two or three customs by Tuesday. He also has a big sister, but at this point there's no way I can make her anything I don't think.

His favorite character is Pluto
His favorite ride (and reason for choosing DL over WDW) is Indiana Jones
They are also going to Legoland and he's super excited about that.

Please, please help me figure out what to make him! I don't have any pluto fabric in my stash, and I have an embroidery machine but currently only a 4x4 field. I can download designs, but they have to be in SEW format.

TIA for your help; I really want to do something special, they really deserve it!

What about some simple Mickey heads for both on Tshirts and if you ahve time then add a pair of short this way both kids get something special?

Cute! I think I'm going back to Joann's (only the 4th time this week LOL) And I love the paw prints, too... If I can get it to work, I think I'll do an embroidered pluto surrounded by paw prints (since that durn 4x4 is so small) and then the cute paw print pattern for the easy fits. Then I think I'll do matching mickey head outfits for the kids, and maybe mickey tee's for Mom and Dad; Do you think you might be able to help me(again) come up with a transfer idea for legoland? Thanks again!

Where does Amy Mickey sell? Maybe if they were fedexed monday I could get them Tues. and get them to the family Tues. night?

Really cute! Love the extra fluff.

Great idea! I wish I could do something much more elaborate and "special" but I know the main thing is to get something cute finished.

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I found my furbaby. She was stuck under the storage shed in the backyard and couldn't find her way out. She is doing okay and just had her breakfast and her insulin shot.

Thank you for all the prayers. I was so worried.

 

[SallyfromDE]

My sister called me about this, this morning! I am just shocked. I've always felt safe on the rides in Disney. I wonder what happened?

Thanks for letting us know so soon; I'm so glad she's ok! Now try to go get some rest.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Gotta catch up here for today. I wanted to share a pic of Hayleigh from today and a pic of the three of us in our customs. My husband is all into having shirts for our next trip.

Does anyone recognize anything new with my signature???

Very nice outfits and we will see you at MNSSHP!

YEA!!!
I'm so glad you found her. I have one of those dogs too. She's been locked up in her dog pen for the last few nights. She was pacing and panting like crazy when she was loose. Her pen connects to a storage building and DH put a doggie door in the wall so she can get in there. She HATES thunder and fireworks.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Yes, I can do "hand" applique, although I don't want really elaborate, but a few layers would be fine. The iron on idea is good to give them a "matching" outfit, but I think I do them wrong, and I'm not sure what... I did transfers last year, prewashed the tshirts, heat set the transfers, but when they got wet, they bled. What did I get wrong; was it the ink? Anyway, maybe I could do one or two appliques and one or two transfers?
I do have red mickey head fabric, so I figured I could always do one outfit just easy fits w/ matching mickey head applique. I just want it to look good kwim? I want him to be proud to wear them, not wondering why I sent something that looks like a hot mess.

I make sure the transfer is down well, then turn the shirts inside out to wash is cold water only. Amy has some great transfer paper on the Disign board.

I just talked to my daughter who works at disney and her boyfriend is an emt for disney he said it was either the brakes failed or something else as the driver that got killed had no one on his train and possibly just not have been paying attention there is a huge investigaton going on because of the late time of night he said it took awhile to cut him out so he had to hit pretty hard

 

[emcreative]

Do you think you might be able to help me(again) come up with a transfer idea for legoland?

You betcha. You want an iron on?

 

[emcreative]

Anyone with any advice on the mulan fabric? I'm gonna have to decide soon as we'll need to leave for town soon (it's over a 30 minute drive so it's not something I can just "run back" to).

 

[jeniamt]

I found my furbaby. She was stuck under the storage shed in the backyard and couldn't find her way out. She is doing okay and just had her breakfast and her insulin shot.

Thank you for all the prayers. I was so worried.

So glad you found her! Did you not find her until this morning?

 

[jeniamt]

Speaking of Mulan... wouldn't this top be cute with a pair of easy fit pants. You could do a mulan applique on one pant leg and another character on the other leg. Too bad no one in my house are big Mulan fans.
