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

No didn't look again but I didn't want to not wish you well again on here:) FYI how are the books coming?


Oh thank you :hug:

Still on book 1...not getting a lot of reading time in! Although I actually read it at court this morning and one of my clients kept giving me weird looks. Maybe the woman's mouth with the blood coming out was concerning her???? :lmao:

ok I guess I need pinking sheers now huh?:confused3

You can buy a pair for under 20.00 and they do come in handy. I have had mine for YEARS and can't tell you how many times I have used them. And nice new ones will pink satin very nicely:thumbsup2


You can borrow mine if you want to run to Florida and pick them up ;)
 

The closest Morgan has ever come to having "curls". It was her 4 1/2 B-day party. She was still in China for her 4th so we celebrated 4.5

One of the first dresses I made her for pre-school.

Oh My! I forgot about this outfit!

I love all the pictures of little Morgan!!! What a cute precious little angel!

(Don't even TRY telling me different Cindee, you know I won't believe you!)

I was lurking and wanted to play along.

My join date is 7-23-07
my first post here was in #1 on 8-5-07 it was about how to post pictures
My first outfit I posted.
th_IMG_0028.jpg


Thank you for letting me share. i have not been able to post much but I look every day and I am always in awwwwwwww over everything I see.
Oh, I remember that! So cute!

Gorgeous!!!!! I love Emily's hair in these pics. She looks so gown up!!

Super impressive! I love it! I laugh at the irony of your last sentence...




Are you kidding!!!! You with your super mad sewing skills have never used bias tape on a hem? Get to it! I'm sure it will be fab!!!!


Beautiful! I love the pics!

Welcome!!! The red dot is sold at JoAnns!

I have been lurking for the last couple weeks because I have been working like a mad woman on the house. (Not even any time for facebook!) We are hoping to move in a few weeks so I really want to finish it!! Just so you can see what we started with, and what a ginormous project this has been (hence why you haven't "seen" me!)
Our charming little farm house. lol

Oh my goodness! You are a very brave woman! I can't wait to see it when you are done!
Tired of Morgan yet? LOL

Her first Movie: CARS and Cars Spinny dress
th_100_3859-1-1-1.jpg

Tired of Morgan?? That sentence does not compute!!! ;) Of course we aren't!

She is so little in these pictures!! Oh my!

ok this is the dress I am making but I don't think I like it - I love the fabric for the top but I don't think I like it with the patchwork bottom(which I am loving how full it is coming out.) I have small red dot but it is not exactly the same color red as the red in the patch work - it is very close but not exact and the white dots are a little bigger. there are the only two prints I have from the set of fabrics - what do you think? I could probably do it if I had something to break up the top & The skirt. Yes I can go out to see if I can find the other fabric or something to match in a solid red or white and remake the bodice but I don't know if I will be able to find something in time to leave me with enough time to finish it tomorrow night for Friday. I probably only need half a yard for a bodice.
th_IMG_7628.jpg

oddly enought it is kinda growing on me. maybe if I had a red ribbon to go around the waist?

I liked it just the way it is, but I think the ribbon and a daisy are cute ideas.


New here and particularly new to this thread. I was planning on doing BBB with dd and doing the full package. I have seen a lot of concern on other threads over itchy dresses supplied by BBB, but a lot of people felt that it's so worth doing the full package just for the experience. I am now thinking I'd rather spend my money on a nice cotton dress (which I *might* be able to make myself), but will that take away from the experience and will dd still want one of the BBB supplied dresses as I read that happens a lot as well? Obviously there is no way anyone can predict what my fickle dd would do, but I'd liike opinions from those of you who have done BBB both with and without the dress package.

Second question is not at all related to BBB. It's a cost factor question. I can sew but am quite novice. Most of my things turn out OK, but they take me a lot of time to complete and I haven't done anything in over 2 years probably b/c sewing doesn't come easy to me. I have seen dresses on etsy for around $25-$30 that I quite like. [edited to add that these inexpensive dresses are simple ones / looks like Carla C's Simply Sweet pattern -- these are NOT princess dresses that I would use for BBB, they are just everyday dresses] Would it be less expensive for me to go with etsy than to make my own? For example, if I would try a Carla C pattern how much would materials average? I know if I make my own clothes I will get the staisfaction/pride factor, but I know I also will likely get frustrated along the way and chances are my clothes won't come across as polished as a better seamstress's would.

And yes, one more question. I would like to make dd a cotton Cinderella dress for 1900 PF. How do I dress ds? He will be almost 8 and is well past the stage where we could get by with Prince Charming (also would my dh puke if I even tried). I was thinking a light or white polo shirt with nicer khaki pants but I thought it would be really cute to do an iron on patch on the pocket of the mice or something not too girly. I can not applique. Problem is I can't find a small iron on applique of the mice. Any other suggestions would be welcome.

BTW, I have loved reading through this entire thread the past couple of days and seeing all the amazing creations. What a talented bunch you are! My dirty house has been neglected and it will only get worse if I drag my sewing machine out again!

I think making the dresses is a wonderful idea. I made my daughters and two nieces outfits for their BBB day, Heather made Tessa's of course. We never got a great picture of them all together. So, here are some of my favorites from that day!!
Lydia as Giselle

She REALLY liked the Prince!

Casey wanted a blue Jasmine, as you can see, I don't think she was disapointed not to have a boughten outfit:

Heather even made Sawyer a cute little Prince outfit. Look how excited he was to meet the real Prince!!!!

That makes me laugh so hard everytime I see it! I think it's one of my all time favorite vacation pictures!

Oh, here is a pretty good one of all the girls:

Boring you yet??

Arminda was wearing Cinderella's Ball gown, she is running to her coach and lost her Croc slipper!

And, of course, Courtney Love was Snow White. Although, I think she was almost as happy about that little purse I got her as the dress! She barely took that purse off the entire trip!

Sorry, couldn't resist sharing the pictures!

If the boutique owner is willing to take phone orders and ship I would be ordering a few! If you are willing, please pm me the store's info & I would love to call them and see if I can place an order. My dd is 6 & it is hard to find these in the bigger sizes around here without dropping over $100
Thanks!!! Krysta
If it doesn't work out, let me know, I know where you can get pettiskirts from infant to women's sizes for $44-$46 each.
My DD's always go to BBB when we go to Disneyworld. One year they had princess dresses I bought in the park (the night before at WOD because I wasn't sure they'd have their sizes in stock at BBB) and once in mom-made princess themed outfits. They actually got much more attention in the outfits I made and that made them feel even more special because they didn't look just like all the other girls there.

I have the Brother from Walmart and I love it! It has seen a lot of miles!

Jeanne, I just love that outfit!!! It is gorgeous!

Thank you all for your replies. You all have convinced me to attempt my own princess dress for BBB and thank you so much to the poster who suggested dd use their dressing room to change into it.

I am going to make (gulp!) a Cinderella dress for 1900 PF (probably traditional blue) and will likely dress ds in a blue polo and khaki pants. He hates characters anyway so not sure we'll be able to get him in any pictures. I have plenty of time to attempt the dress.

For BBB I will let dd pick which princess she wants and try to make something as well. If she selects Belle I will do a simple version (short dress with leggings under for practicality of walking around the park afterward). I am hoping to do BBB in the morning (and will now just do the least expensive package) and then PSD at Akershus for lunch or dinner.

I did order a custom Nemo outfit for Epcot (and may make a trip to AK that day just for the Nemo show), will do a simple Minnie black and red outfit for MK, an animal print for AK, perhaps Cars theme for DHS and still need to come up with something for MVMCP. I likely won't really get started on anything until the kids are back in school again. My dh works long hours and often is gone (military) and the last place I want to drag the kids is to a fabric store that I want to spend hours at. So be patient and stay tuned, hopefully in mid Sept I can post photos of my first creation!

And if you all would share what pattern you use for a Cinderella dress I'd appreciate that as well.

Thanks again ladies (and Tom whoever you are!).

For Cinderella's dress, I really like the look of Carla's Precious Dress. It isnt' too hard, but if you want something easier, the Portrait Peasant is cute for that too. Courtney's Snow White outfit was the Portrait Peasant. Arminda's Cinderella was a commercial pattern (PITB!) because I hadn't convinced Carla to make the Precious Dress pattern yet, but it is very similar to what it would look like.

I did it! I did my first applique!!! :cool1::banana::banana::woohoo::yay: (Can you tell I"m proud of myself?) It came out really good, too! Well, I mean, there's certainly area for improvement, but I expected it to be a total mess my first time. Heather's tut made it so easy, though! Thank you, Heather! I just gotta sew up the dress, now, and then I can post pictures!

YEAH!!! I can't wait to see it!

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.

That is adorable!!! What a cute idea!!!! And, there is that fabric taunting me again!!! I sure wish I had at least bought SOME of it when I saw it!

If you would like to see what has kept me away from the thread for so long....come peek at my new house (especially if aren't on FB so you haven't already seen my pics on there!)

I put them in the PTR...link in my siggie.
Beautiful!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Totally OT but I know someone here will understand.

I made our ADR's right away in the morning on our 90 days out. The first day, when we get there, we booked the fantasmic dinner package. We'd wanted Mama Melrose but had to go with Hollywood and Vine to get fantasmic with it.

Today I called to see if it were possible (on a very slim off chance) to push back the dining until later that evening (just in case something goes horribly wrong with our flights, etc). Now they are telling me that:

1. We were never booked for Fantasmic, just dinner (at a restaurant we didn't really prefer to eat at any way)

2. There is nothing available at all now.

I just want to cry. I know that sounds stupid. But we have NEVER seen this, and it was how we were going to kick off the first night of our celebration trip.

I'm also tired of this woman on the phone (I refuse to call her a CM, she isnt' acting like one) arguing with me about what I did. I'm sorry someone there obviously dropped the ball the first time and did not enter it correctly. I but distinctly remember the conversation when booking it because 1. we had to change restaurants for it and 2. we had to give our credit card number, and I had a long convo with that CM about giving it since we were on the dining plan, and I didn't realize that was how it worked.
:hug:I am so sorry. I would absolutely call back and ask to speak to a supervisor. If they won't do anything for you I would still try for Fantasmic! I like the idea of bringing in counter service for dinner to help occupy the time. You do still have to arrive about 45 minutes early even with the dinner package.

WOW!!!!! Cute pirate outfit but I really LOVE the Disney Dogs outfit! My DD(6) would absolutely flip for that! I'm hoping to make her a Dug outfit for our trip but would you look at my ticker?:scared1: I have to get moving! AND we are doing a 2 night trip to Cape Cod with my DH's family before WDW. I was hoping to make tunics for that trip. I really have to get going!
 
I found the first outfit I posted on this thread. Not the first outfit I ever made, but the first one I posted.

"Here is the My Little Pony Skirt I made for Lydia the other day. I've had the material forever, and kept promising to make her something out of it. You guys inspired me to finally do it! Lydia thanks you all!

I was going to put two layers of elastic in the waist, but then I decided I liked the ruffled look. However, when I asked Lydia if she liked it like that, she said she did not. So, I said, "What kind of little girl doesn't like ruffles." To which she replied, "This kind of little girl right here, Lydia!" But, after she tried it on, she changed her mind, and the ruffle stayed! I also machine stitched the Pony's names to the bottom. I haven't been using this machine long though, so I'm not too good at that part yet! But, Lydia loved it. She also wanted, "More decorations", so I put on the ribbons, and then some flower stitching at the top. She still wants more decorations though!

Well, here it is:

And, here is Lydia wearing it. Even though the picture is fuzzy, feel free to tell me how adorable she is! :rotfl2:

By the way, I have that same flooring in my kitchen.

Cough Cough :sad2: :sad2:

yeah ummmmmm Check your PM in a minute I am sending you a pic LOL
 
I've been working on making Cinderella's pink gown today from the simply sweet pattern. But I am not sure how to make fabric bows. I'm sure it is something simple and I am analyzing it too much, but can someone please give me some advice on how to make those? Thank you so much!!!!
 
She is SOOOO cute!

Yay! More Morgan! That dress is so spinny and cute!



cute outfits! I love ladybugs! DD11 is nicknamed Jaydiebug.

I use my pinking shears all the time! Whenever I am sewing on a curve and it directions say the clip the curves I use my pinking shears instead. I was about to write about them on my blog, lol!

I made a little Hello Kitty purse today (with my pinking shears) but I was informed I forgot the whiskers! :eek:

LOVE the Giselle! I think it's my favorite, though I really like Tessa's too. LOL at losing the precious glass croc! But the best has to be the picture of Sawyer and Prince Charming ~ way too cute!!!!

I have to dig through my patterns. I bought a bunch of e-bay a couple of years ago. Most were infant and toddler but I think there was also a princess dress set (definitely would be a commercial pattern though and I'm really interested in trying some of Carla's).
 
I've been working on making Cinderella's pink gown today from the simply sweet pattern. But I am not sure how to make fabric bows. I'm sure it is something simple and I am analyzing it too much, but can someone please give me some advice on how to make those? Thank you so much!!!!


Here is my suggestions- By them at Walmart!!! They are not expensive and you can just sew them in place. I actually just bought two more packs to make my youngest this dress.

wanted to share my 1st creation for our trip. I still need to do a matching set for Russell. Roseanna was fun on this photo shoot and even found her inner beast :lmao: Ready for too many Roseannas????
